I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

“You have done Asgard a great favor, so I should have agreed to lend it to you immediately.”

"After all, we're all friends."

“But I am not the king of Asgard yet; my father is.”

“Strictly speaking, the power of ether is a treasure left by my grandfather Boer’s generation, so it needs to be handled with more care.”

"Therefore, I must ask my father's opinion before I can give you an answer."

Now that Thor heard Tony and Banner bringing him up, he let go of Jane's arms, looked at Tony, and said.

He was well aware that Banner and Tony were keen to study the power of the Aether, which symbolized a power unimaginable to ordinary people.

However, he couldn't make a decision on how to deal with the power of the ether alone.

"Just hearing your words is enough."

"Banner, return that gem to Thor first."

Tony smiled upon hearing Thor's words and spoke.

Banner, upon hearing this, was eager to begin his research immediately, demonstrating a certain ability to make his wishes come true.

Many technologies that are unthinkable, or those that are limited by environmental constraints, may be directly created using the power of the ether, thus reducing countless obstacles to their research.

However, since this was an Asgardian treasure, he couldn't just take it by force, so Banner simply returned it to Thor.

"You have done Asgard a great favor, and I will get back to you as soon as possible."

Thor took the gem and looked at Tony and Banner seriously.

"You don't need to put so much pressure on yourself. Whether it works out or not, it won't affect our relationship."

"Although we want to study it, we also know that the power of ether is not an ordinary treasure."

"Moreover, our initial intention in helping Asgard this time was not for the power of the aether."

"The main goal is to help Asgard overcome its difficulties while indirectly helping Earth."

Seeing Thor's serious expression, Tony spoke up.

"Yes, thank you."

Thor smiled when he heard Tony's words.

Meanwhile, with the deaths of the Cursed Warrior and Malekith, the Dark Elves were leaderless and received no signal to retreat.

Under the combined attack of Loki and Sif's army, the Dark Elves were completely killed, ending the battle.

At that moment, Odin, the king of the gods, also saw the collapsing palace and the gradually subsiding war. Only after he felt Kassadin withdraw his gaze did he truly feel at ease.

From this perspective, Kassadin's focus on Asgard this time is likely more about seeing if Tony Stark can handle the situation.

Odin wanted to go and comfort Tony Stark, who had come to help, but the war had just ended.

There have been many casualties in Asgard, and comforting the people of Asgard is the more important task.

So Odin could only send a message to Thor, telling him to treat Tony Stark and Bruce Banner well.

At the very least, they should be kept to attend the post-war victory celebration.

Chapter 276 The Rice Eater and the Rice Soul

Harvey knew that things had calmed down when he saw Banner kill the Cursed Warrior and the Aether power condense into the Reality Stone.

Thor suffered a lot in this battle, but there was nothing that could be done about it.

Thor has not yet reached his peak, and the Cursed Warriors were originally created by Malekith to deal with Odin and his son.

If the Destroyer were still alive, this battle would have been fought even in Asgard.

If Malekith doesn't retreat immediately, he will surely wipe out the Dark Elves once the Destroyer arrives.

Normally, after this, the real gemstone should still be sent to the collector.

However, it's highly likely that the Reality Stone will be temporarily entrusted to Tony and Banner for research.

In Banner and Tony's hands, it was essentially the same as in Harvey's hands.

The Reality Stone is not known for its destructive power among the six Infinity Stones.

Of course, this doesn't mean the Reality Stone isn't powerful enough; it's just that compared to other gems, the Reality Stone is more like a support/defense gem.

The Reality Stone's ability to alter reality requires all six Infinity Stones to be collected before it becomes truly terrifying.

The radiation range will expand from the surrounding area to the entire universe, and anything can be accomplished with a snap of the fingers.

Tony's guess was correct. A single Reality Stone is limited by the user's power, and can only make some wishes come true, but cannot make everything go as planned.

However, even if it's just a small part of the ability to make wishes come true, it's already an extremely powerful ability.

If Malekith's physical form weren't so weak, and if he could have exchanged a few blows with Tony and Banner, he could have worn them down to death with the Reality Stone.

Therefore, Harvey believes that the Reality Stone would be more powerful for a cursed warrior than Malekith.

However, Malekith is the leader of the Dark Elves, and the Cursed Warrior is only the second-in-command of the Dark Elves.

The power of the Aether, which is the Reality Stone, will always end up in Malekith's possession, thus ensuring Malekith's inevitable defeat.

After the Reality Stone came into existence, Harvey knew that the Power Stone would appear soon.

The gems on Earth are either kept by Odin or by the Ancient One.

He couldn't just take it directly, but once the Power Stone was delivered to his doorstep, Harvey would definitely take it.

After watching the spectacle, Harvey withdrew his gaze from Asgard.

As for Odin's concern that he would take action against Asgard, that was completely unfounded.

Others were unaware that Odin was dying, but Harvey knew very well.

However, Saul's mother, Frigga, survived this time.

This would prevent Odin from being blinded by rage over his wife's death, which could cause his internal power to run rampant and harm him.

This might extend Odin's lifespan.

However, Harvey knew that no matter how much Odin's lifespan was extended.

Unless Odin joins the Void, given his age nearing the limit of Asgard's lifespan, he will inevitably die within ten years.

Odin will be dying at that time, and if he were to step in and try to win him over, there is a chance of success.

However, Harvey still needs to carefully consider whether or not to try to win over Odin.

Because if Odin lives and joins the Void, the Asgardian faction that will emerge will be even more powerful.

Even after several years, Harvey, having obtained the Power Stone, was confident that he could forcibly take control of Asgard.

However, if it's necessary to manage things, then there's no point in trying to win over Odin.

At most, it will only contribute some void energy to him, and then it may bring even bigger trouble.

Therefore, he needs to think this through carefully.

Moreover, Thor is clearly easier to control than Odin.

Let's observe Odin's attitude and reaction first.

He made the people of Asgard believe in the void, not to make Odin pledge allegiance to him.

This applies to the Cult of the Void, and it certainly applies to Asgard as well.

However, Asgard's overall strength was too great, and its population was too large.

Therefore, if we want to win over Odin, we must not allow him to act recklessly and disrupt the order of the Void Cult.

Harvey glanced at Steve Rogers, who was on his honeymoon in Europe with Peggy Carter.

Judging by the timeline, Hydra's purge plan will be implemented very soon.

It remains to be seen whether Nick Fury will be able to contact Steve by then.

Harvey thought about it with interest, then focused his attention on the game in front of him and waited patiently.

※※※※※※※

Asgard after the war.

Tony and Banner were also invited to stay in Asgard temporarily.

They first visited Asgard to witness the grand funeral held for the fallen soldiers, and then attended a victory celebration together.

The Asgardian soldiers suffered many casualties this time, but because they knew that the Dark Elves, Asgard's long-standing enemy, were completely wiped out this time.

The fact that Asgard would never again be invaded by the Dark Elves brought joy to many of Asgard's people and soldiers.

Inside a luxurious hall, handsome men and beautiful women are conversing with each other.

However, Tony and Banner were different; both knew that dating an Asgardian woman could lead to trouble.

Knowing that pursuing beautiful women in Asgard might lead to some unforeseen troubles.

They naturally thought it best to wait until they got back and find other women.

So the two of them were also eating like crazy during this lunch.

What kind of life do they lead on Earth? Five meals a day.

But in Asgard, which is not your own home, it is certainly impossible to eat whatever you want as you wish.

They only have three normal meals a day, which means they have to go hungry twice a day.

If it weren't for Thor's hospitality, the two would have loved to have Thor send them back to Earth right now so they could have a good meal.

However, Banner and Tony also knew that it would be unkind of them to refuse Thor's invitation at this time.

So even if they go hungry twice a day, they have no choice but to stay.

Tony and Banner were feasting at a large dining table, as if they hadn't eaten for days.

It attracted some attention, but there was no discrimination or disgust; rather, there was curiosity and appreciation.

Because they had all heard that Tony Stark and Bruce Banner were Thor's specially recruited henchmen.

In the recently concluded battle, they were also incredibly brave, and after a fierce battle, the two of them finally killed Malekith.
