Chapter 125: Perseverance in the Morning Light

Nathan Hawke and his team spent a happy and unforgettable day in Asgard. They participated in a grand celebration and shared the joy of victory with the Asgardian warriors. This mysterious country left a deep impression on them, but also made them miss their home.

When the time came to leave, Thor came in person to see them off. He stood in front of Nathan Hawke with a firm look and sincere feelings.

\"Nathan, and everyone, my friends, you will always be the heroes of Asgard. We are honored by your courage and spirit of justice. I hope our friendship will last forever, no matter how far the universe is.\"

Nathan Hawke smiled and nodded, and followed suit, responding with great emotion: "Thor, your hospitality and friendship make us feel very warm. Asgard will always remain a beautiful memory in our hearts. Whenever you need our help, we will come immediately."

as predicted.

Thor nodded gratefully, and then turned his gaze to Kreutz. He knew that Kreutz had a deep interest and knowledge in the technology of the universe.

\"Nathan, as a token of my friendship, I would like to give you some Asgard technology, perhaps it can be of great use to you.\"

Nathan Hawke's eyes sparkled with excitement, but he suddenly stopped and looked at Kreutz. Kreutz understood his hesitation and immediately said, "Thor, if possible, we would like to obtain some information about spacecraft traveling in space. This will be very valuable to us."

Thor nodded slightly, he understood the needs of Nathan Hawke and his team.

\"Of course, Kreutz, I understand your request. I will ask them to provide you with some information on spacecraft technology, which I hope will help you navigate better in the universe.\"

Nathan Hawke and Kreutz are extremely grateful and know that this gift will be of great help to their future adventures.

"After the comparison, the construction of artificial intelligence spacecraft and artificial satellite Yak can not only save unnecessary time, but also be more perfect." Kreutz's thoughts jumped in his heart, and he thought of what he, Zhan Ji Lingma and his boss wanted to get after this incident.

......

Nathan Hawke and his team boarded the Rainbow Bridge and began to leave Asgard. Although they had an unforgettable time in this mysterious country, Nathan Hawke's heart was full of doubts. He couldn't help but think about Thor's changes.

Before this encounter, Thor had always been a powerful and righteous guardian, but in their interactions, Nathan Hawke sensed some changes in Thor. Thor seemed to have become more complicated, with a hint of hesitation and struggle in his eyes.

Nathan Hawke knows that this change may be related to the threat they face, or it may be due to the influence of his father Odin, who has always been the ruler of Asgard. His wisdom and power are unmatched, but he also bears heavy responsibilities and troubles.

\"Boss, do you have any ideas?\" Kreutz keenly noticed Nathan Hawke's doubts and asked softly.

Nathan Hawke pondered for a moment, then responded: "Thor's change may have been influenced by his father Odin. Perhaps Odin has some important decisions or secrets that he has not revealed to us. We can't ignore this. After all, Thor is the prince of Asgard, and his choice will have an impact on the entire universe." At the same time, Nathan Hawke didn't say one more thing, which was about Asgard's Ragnarok.

From the subsequent movies, we know that the gods of Ragnarok are only equal to the twilight of "Asgard", and "gods" like Zeus have no effect at all.

It is more likely that Surtur may just be the "rival" of Asgard's destiny rather than the "rival" of other gods.

Kreutz nodded.

......

As the sun sets, the afterglow of the sunset shines on the beach of Tony Stark's private villa in the Maldives. The waves hit the beach, as if whispering praises to the magnificence of nature. Tony Stark sits on a lounge chair, holding a cocktail in one hand and wearing sunglasses in the other, watching the sunset gradually fall.

Pepper Potts, his secretary, sat on a recliner next to him, wearing a wide-brimmed straw hat, her eyes fixed intently on her cell phone screen, apparently replying to an email.

\"Tony, are you coming up with some crazy new ideas again?\" Pepper smiled softly. She was already used to Tony's weird ideas.

Especially when he was lying on the hospital bed in Hawke Group, looking at Tony's haggard and anxious face, he felt both amused and distressed.

\"Pepper, you always understand me so well. I was just thinking, what would it be like if we converted a rocket into a space hotel?\"

Pepper put her phone down and looked at Tony, frowning slightly.

\"Cosmic Hotel? Tony, are you sure that's a good idea?\"

Tony waved it off with a smile.

\"Don't worry, Pepper. I'm just imagining things. But if the technology was available, I bet someone would be willing to try it. Imagine being able to see a million stars at night and wake up in the morning just as the sun rises. Who can resist that experience?\"

Pepper sighed, smiled and shook her head.

\"Tony, you are a creative maniac who never stops. But I can't deny that your ideas are always creative. Maybe one day, someone will really build a space hotel.\"

Tony raised his cocktail into the air and made a toast.

\"Just wait and see, Pepper. Speaking of which, you know what? This place is my secret paradise. Away from the hustle and bustle of New York, I can enjoy the quiet here, and your company is simply wonderful.\"

Pepper smiled slightly and reached out to Tony's arm, patting it gently.

\"I like it here too, Tony. It's really rare to have the opportunity to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city and enjoy the beauty of nature.\"

Tony's smile softened and he took Pepper's hand in his with his other hand.

\"Pepper, you know, there are too many complications and disturbances in this world. Sometimes, I just want to find a quiet place and share this quietness with a special person.\"

Pepper's cheeks flushed slightly, and her eyes were full of tenderness.

\"Tony, you always say those touching words.\"

Tony's smile widened as he leaned back in the recliner and pulled Pepper's hand, bringing her closer.

"Pepper, life is too short to cherish every moment. Right now, this moment, is my most precious moment."

Their eyes met each other, the sea breeze caressed their faces, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on them, as if freezing the romantic moment. No matter what the future holds, they decided to enjoy the happiness in front of them.

......

The white walls and cold atmosphere of the hospital finally faded away from James Rhodes's eyes. He lay on the hospital bed, feeling his body recovering, and at the same time, he felt a strong determination surge in his heart.

"Rod, are you ready?" asked a military doctor in military uniform.

Rhodes nodded, his eyes firm.

"Yes, I am ready. I want to go back, return to the army and continue to serve my country."

The medic smiled, applauding his tenacity and determination.

"You are a true hero, Rod. Your dedication and courage are admirable."

Rhodes smiled and thanked the military doctor, then slowly sat up. Although his body was still recovering, he knew that he had to return to the army as soon as possible, receive retraining, and be ready to fight again.

A few weeks later, Rod returned to the military base. He walked into the training ground and felt the familiar military atmosphere. His fellow soldiers welcomed his return, and their smiles and hugs made him feel warm and welcome.

However, at the first meeting he attended, he felt a deep discomfort when his suit's name was called out. Although "Patriot Suit" was a heroic name, it was a thing of the past for him. He used to be "War Machine", a name that represented his tenacity and determination, and a symbol of the iron suit he once fought in.

James Rhodes stood up and faced everyone, his voice firm and confident.

\"I request that the name of my armor be changed back to its original name - \u0027War Machine\u0027. That name represents my past experience and determination, and I want to continue to fight for myself under that name.\"

The atmosphere in the room was tense for a moment, but then a senior officer stood up, his eyes firm and respectful.

\"Captain James Rhodes, your request is granted. You will once again fight for us and your country under the name 'War Machine.'\"

James Rhodes smiled, and he felt very resolute in his heart. Now, he will once again become the indomitable "war machine" and continue to defend his beloved country, no matter what name it is under.

......

In the early morning of New York City, the sun shines through the gaps between the tall buildings onto the streets, dyeing the hustle and bustle of the city into a warm golden color. Steve Rogers (Captain America) and Sam Wilson (Falcon) are wearing sportswear and jogging on a quiet park path.

\"Good morning, Sam.\" Steve greeted Sam with a smile.

\"Good morning, Steve.\" Sam responded, his voice full of a friendly smile. \"It's a beautiful day today.\"

The two ran in the morning light, each step full of strength and energy. When the city woke up, they were already welcoming the new day through exercise.

\"Have you been busy lately, Sam?\" Steve asked, glancing around from time to time, keeping alert.

\"Yeah, it's okay.\" Sam replied, his eyes constantly darting around.

Steve's steps were light and powerful, and his body exuded a healthy atmosphere in the morning light. Sam followed behind him, and he was no less impressive. The two of them cooperated tacitly, walking one after the other through the streets of the city.

\"Steve, you know what? There is a feeling that every time we go for a morning run together, it's like we are continuing a big battle. The only difference is that now our enemies are no longer those bad guys, but time and distance." Sam said, with a hint of teasing in his voice.

Steve smiled and nodded, he felt the same way.

\"Yes, Sam, every morning run is like challenging ourselves and constantly pushing our limits. This keeps us sharp and keeps us true to our original aspirations.\"

The two ran slowly, passing through the city that had witnessed countless historical moments. Steve's mind wandered, recalling every bit of those years. He couldn't help but think of that cold winter when he was frozen in ice and then awakened to a whole new world.
