Chapter 124: Signs of Dusk

The aftermath of the battle gradually faded, and the smoke and dust on the battlefield gradually dispersed, revealing charred mountains and a desolate landscape. Nathan Hawke and Thor stood there with solemn eyes.

John Walker, transformed into Kamen Rider Duke, returned to Nathan Hawke's side, removed the transformation, and revealed his true face. He looked at Nathan Hawke with a serious face.

\"Boss, there may be more stories behind this battle. There are three people hiding in the dark, and they have been observing all this.\"

Nathan Hawke nodded slightly to show his understanding. Malekith's change made him extremely alert to the danger in the dark.

At this moment, the invisible man appeared in front of everyone.

\"Are you saying that someone is behind all this?\" Thor asked immediately.

John Walker nodded. \"Yes, I believe there is a greater force secretly controlling all this. The opponents just now seem to be the executors. We need to be vigilant.\"

As they were discussing, the Invisible Man appeared in their discussion.

\"Hey, boss, I just saw the general appearance of those three people.\" The invisible man's voice sounded in front of everyone.

Nathan Hawke immediately asked, “Speak.”

The invisible man nodded and began to describe the appearance, characteristics and gender of the three masterminds.

Thor was confused and scratched his head: "Wheelchair? Robe? Battle suit?"

Nathan Hawke was shocked. He didn't expect things to be so complicated.

"Wheelchair? Professor X."

Nathan Hawke pondered for a moment, thinking about these clues. The wheelchair and Professor X's name reminded him of the X-Men, a team of super-powered mutants whose mission is to maintain peace and justice.

But he also knows that Professor Xavier of the X-Men is usually associated with the idea of ​​peaceful coexistence rather than launching attacks.

Nathan Hawke began to consider the Illuminati, in which Professor X also exists. But America Chavez (Miss America) had come to his world before, and he confirmed that she came to his world after Doctor Strange 2. Perhaps there is more than one Illuminati, but multiple universes and multiple Illuminati, just like multiple Kangs.

Nathan Hawke thought of the Iron Boy.

Professor X may also have a bad variant, and the robes and battle suits may be the Illuminati. After all, robes, men...

\"This is all becoming more and more complicated,\" Nathan Hawke's inner voice sounded, his voice full of doubt.

Thor patted Nathan Hawke's shoulder and looked at him with a firm gaze.

\"Nathan, we can't let this bother us. No matter how many people are behind this, we must uphold justice and protect the peace of the universe. Today's victory proves our strength and unity. Now, let us cheer for victory! \"

As Thor finished his words, he raised his hammer high, and the Asgard warriors cheered with him, celebrating their victory.

\"Victory! Victory!\" Cheers resounded across the battlefield and spread across the entire mountain range. Even the battle scene that had just been extremely tense was now filled with joy and celebration.

......

The news of victory spread quickly throughout Asgard, and the welcoming team of the Asgardians led by Heimdall was already prepared. They wore gorgeous costumes as much as possible, held colorful flags, and lined up in neat rows, ready to celebrate this great victory when Nathan Hawke and Thor returned victoriously.

When Nathan Hawke, Thor and other Asgardian warriors returned home, the welcoming team had already stood in the wind. They waved flags and held high colorful banners to welcome the heroes' triumphant return. Joyful smiles filled the faces of every Asgardian, and they were all proud of this victory.

The arrival of Nathan Hawke and Thor triggered cheers and applause. People knelt before Thor to express their respect and gratitude to him. In Asgard, Thor has become a legend in everyone's heart.

"Congratulations, you are becoming more and more like a righteous king." Nathan Hawke said to Thor.

"Ha!" Toer's voice became much louder, and he was a little overwhelmed. This triumphant return seemed very different from the previous ones.

Heimdall walked up to Nathan Hawke and Thor, his eyes full of emotion and joy.

\"Thor, Mr. Nathan Hawke and your team, the warriors of Asgard. You are the heroes of Asgard. You have brought victory to Asgard and defended the home of Asgard. Today, we want to celebrate for you and fill the whole of Asgard with joy and laughter! \"

Everyone cheered and applauded. The welcoming team began a grand celebration, playing magnificent music and dancing happily. For a moment, the whole of Asgard was filled with a joyous and festive atmosphere.

At the same time, Heimdall took the opportunity to whisper in Thor's ear: "The king has awakened, and I want you to go see him."

Thor was shocked. He was filled with anticipation and worry when he received the news about his father. He said to Nathan Hawke and his team members, "I'm sorry, I have something to do and need to go there right away. Nathan, please celebrate with your friends first. I won't be long."

Nathan Hawke smiled and motioned him to go, knowing that Thor now had a heavy responsibility. Then, Thor left the celebration team and went to the room of his father Odin.

Odin's room is located on the highest floor of the Asgard Palace. It is majestic and solemn, and is the symbol of Asgard's power and wisdom. Thor stepped onto the long staircase and came to the door.

He knocked on the door gently, and then heard a steady and powerful voice saying, "Come in."

Thor pushed open the door and entered Odin's room. The room was full of mystery, and its walls were decorated with magnificent murals showing the history and glory of Asgard.

And in the center of the room, sitting on a golden throne was Odin, the king of Asgard. His robes were gorgeous and ancient, and he wore a silver hood. His long hair and beard shone like silver threads. One of his eyes was covered with an eye patch, while his other eye was sharp and bright.

Thor walked steadily and knelt before Odin, his father was someone he respected and admired immensely.

\"Father, you summoned me, what do you want me to do?" Thor asked humbly.

Odin's voice was solemn and kind, and he pointed a finger at Thor, motioning him to stand up.

\"Thor, my son, your victory is well known. You have won victory for Asgard and brought peace to this universe. You are my pride and the pride of all Asgard.\"

Thor felt extremely proud when he heard his father's praise. He knew that his father was usually very conservative and calm, and it was a great honor to receive his affirmation.

\"But now, my son, I need to discuss something important with you. This battle has revealed some disturbing clues that someone is behind all this.\"

"Father......"

Thor didn't know what his father knew, and nodded with a little worry. He understood what his father meant. They needed to conduct an in-depth investigation to find out who was behind the scenes and ensure that the peace of the universe would no longer be threatened.

Odin continued, "This is a dangerous moment, my son. We must remain vigilant, look for clues, and find out who is behind this. At the same time, you also need to work with Nathan Hawke and his team. They are our powerful allies."

Thor responded solemnly: "Yes, father, I will do my best. Nathan and I are very good friends. As for tracking down the mastermind behind the scenes and ensuring that the peace of the universe is not threatened, I will not let you down."

Odin nodded to show his satisfaction, and then continued: "As for Loki, I hope you can pay more attention to his clues." After saying that, Odin's face was a little lonely. Loki and...

Thor's face also became sad, and they both thought of a woman at the same time.

One is a wife and the other is a mother.

\"I will keep an eye on Loki's movements, father. No matter what happens, I will do my duty to protect the peace of Asgard and the universe." Thor showed his determination and smile forcefully.

Odin smiled and nodded, looking at Thor with heartache and love.

"You've grown up." He knew that his son was now a righteous and strong warrior, as well as a qualified "monarch".

\"Very well, Thor. You are my pride and the pride of Asgard. Now, go enjoy your moment of victory and celebrate your great achievement."

Thor bowed solemnly to his father, then turned and left Odin's room, his heart full of responsibility and determination.

just.

After Thor left his father's room and returned to his own room, he took out the Reality Stone, which exuded mysterious energy and flashed red light like a star.

His heart is filled with determination to gain greater power. He knows that threats in the universe are constantly emerging, and as the guardian of Asgard, he needs to become stronger to protect everything he cherishes.

However, this decision also comes with risks and costs. The Reality Stone has great power, but it is also dangerous, capable of affecting and changing the very nature of a person. Thor knows this, but he is willing to take this risk.

"To protect Asgard."

He closed his eyes and began to immerse himself in the energy of the Reality Stone. He felt an immense force emerging beside him, like a rushing waterfall, bringing an infusion of power.

Deep in Thor's heart, he saw the people he cherished, his father, Loki, his friends, and the people of Asgard. He vowed to protect them and prevent them from being threatened again.

But as the power around him grew, Thor also felt the power of the Reality Stone constantly challenging his heart. It was an impulsive, explosive force that tried to erode his will and change his nature.

Thor slowly opened his eyes and stopped channeling the power emanating from the Reality Stone.

"No hurry, I still have time."

He decided to channel this power toward justice and not let it corrupt him.

Thor said silently to himself: "I swear, no matter what happens, I will protect you until the last moment."

And in Odin's room.

Odin's one eye is filled with a long river of blue.

"Ragnarok, the twilight of Asgard, seems to be beginning to be... rewritten."
