Let me show you a new way Chapter 126

Asgard…

Ebony Maw floated in the air, addressing countless Dark Elves.

Two years ago, Thanos and the awakened Dark Elves struck a deal. Thanos gave the Mind Stone scepter to the Dark Elves, allowing them to secretly invade Asgard.

The Dark Elves succeeded. While Odin was still in slumber, they successfully controlled him and made Odin kill all of Asgard’s royal family.

However, things didn’t go so smoothly afterward…

Loki was exiled to Earth by Odin, using a loophole in the control, and then committed suicide. Odin’s eldest daughter, Hela, was born, killing countless Dark Elf soldiers, even temporarily resisting the Mind Stone scepter’s control, and activating the Bifrost to teleport away.

Malekith then went to report back to Thanos, leaving behind several scientists to research how to use Asgard’s Bifrost, as it didn’t come with an instruction manual.

During the period Malekith went to communicate with Thanos, Heimdall broke in and stole the Bifrost’s control device, which was that long sword…

Without the control device, the Bifrost was useless; no one could operate it. Malekith was subsequently obliterated by Thanos’s Omega Beam, and Ebony Maw took over the Dark Elf forces, awaiting Thanos’s command at any time.

But Thanos unexpectedly slept for two years, so Ebony Maw could only remain stifled in Asgard, not daring to act rashly, fearing to anger Thanos.

Finally, Thanos awoke from his slumber, not only gaining even greater power but also acquiring a new technological system.

The Mother Box.

A powerful weapon capable of long-distance space jumps. With this weapon, they could, like the Asgardians of old, use a tactic similar to a Bifrost “face-ride,” directly attacking the enemy’s heartland.

Of course, their research into the Mother Box was not yet sufficient; they couldn’t yet achieve the level of teleporting large armies.

After Thanos awoke, he gave the remaining four members of the Black Order a mission: to act together and go to Earth to retrieve all the Infinity Stones.

Thanos himself had his own task; he was going to save this universe.

“Today, the Convergence of the Nine Realms occurs again. Our armies will be directly teleported to Earth! Attack! Kill!” Ebony Maw roared in his speech. His words carried a special mental control ability, making all the Dark Elves and Chitauri incredibly excited. They howled and cheered.

“For Lord Thanos!”

“For Lord Thanos!”

“For Lord Thanos!”

Countless ugly alien creatures cheered loudly for their common master, the incredibly powerful Thanos.

“Regarding ice magic, I’ve taught you everything I can. The rest is up to your own practice and practical combat training.” Lin Dong shrugged, stepping out of the Merlin Circle and comfortably settling onto the sofa.

Before him, Loki’s eyes were slightly closed, his body enveloped in an incredibly terrifying frost that seemed capable of freezing all molecular motion.

Of course, it was only “seemed.”

On Loki’s right hand was an ice-white bracer. That was the Casket of Ancient Winters, modified by Lin Dong, possessing powerful ice magic, and essentially only Loki could freely use its power.

Lin Dong had originally wanted to make a ring, but the Casket of Ancient Winters was simply too large. Even using spatial magic to shrink it wouldn’t make it as small as a ring. So, he settled for making a bracer.

Loki’s magical talent in ice was incredibly strong. His bloodline did not hinder him in these magics; in fact, it gave him a great boost, making his progress incredibly rapid.

Lin Dong yawned tiredly. Several consecutive days of high-intensity teaching had left him a bit overwhelmed. He felt he needed a good sleep.

Then he sensed something…

An image…

Lin Dong extended his hands, golden streams of light coiling around his fingertips. As intricate hand seals changed, the luminous threads gradually formed a complex pattern, one resembling an eye.

The next moment, the golden light eye slowly opened, and a green light, symbolizing the Time Stone, shone. His mind entered the river of time, arriving in the near future.

Armies, countless armies from beyond the stars—Dark Elves, Chitauri, and various other aliens—all descended upon Earth, utilizing the Convergence of the Nine Realms.

“Shit!” Lin Dong cursed under his breath, ending his divination magic. This magic was a modified Time Magic by Lin Dong, simulating the operation and power of the Eye of Agamotto to peek into timelines.

“Everyone in the Alliance, immediately gather at Stark Tower…” Lin Dong pressed his fingertips to his temples, sending a mass message to all members who were busy outside.

“The enemy is approaching…”

————————

Soon after, in the Alliance Hall at Stark Tower, golden light suddenly flared. Portals opened one by one, and everyone stepped out.

“What happened?” Steve immediately asked.

Lin Dong extended his palm, using magic to construct an image.

“Five thousand years ago, the Nine Realms experienced a Convergence phenomenon. They connected, interacted, space became chaotic, and gravity was abnormal.”

“And a group of Dark Elves tried to use the Aether to destroy the Nine Realms, plunging them into eternal darkness.”

“But in the end, Odin’s father, Bor, thwarted the Dark Elves’ plot and buried the Aether.” Lin Dong paused here, nodding towards Loki beside him.

“But now, the Convergence of the Nine Realms is happening again. The Dark Elves and Chitauri have allied to attack Earth. With the help of the Mother Box, they can stabilize the channels created by the Convergence, directly teleporting their armies into the atmosphere. Then they will seize the Infinity Stones located on Earth.”

Lin Dong stopped here, waiting for them to process the information.

“So, their objective is the Infinity Stones on Earth?” Steve frowned, speaking up.

“That’s right…” Lin Dong replied.

“Can they detect the exact location of the Stones?” Steve asked again.

“I believe so. Perhaps not perfectly precise, but they can pinpoint them to a general area, especially when multiple Stones are present.” Lin Dong nodded, confirming Steve’s guess.

Steve pondered, then voiced his thoughts.

“So we still have an advantage: this is our home turf!”

“We have what they want…”

“So we should use that to our advantage and set a trap!”

Steve stood up, looking into the distance.

“We need to choose a battlefield that won’t harm civilians!” Steve seemed to have an idea, and both his blue and green rings simultaneously glowed.

“Then, Avengers…”

“Assemble!”
