Let me show you a new way Chapter 140

This was Odin’s weapon, a symbol of Asgardian kingship. As the gatekeeper of Asgard, Heimdall had the right to choose and enthrone a new Allfather when the old one died without officially naming an heir.

He chose Loki… the son of a Frost Giant from Jotunheim.

At this moment, Loki was the true King of Asgard, not merely a substitute while his father slept. He could wield the power of Gungnir, rather than just poking things with it like a mere spear.

Of course, even now, he could only tap into a fraction of Gungnir’s power by virtue of his status as Allfather. A great deal of power remained beyond his grasp, because Gungnir did not truly belong to him.

Just as the current Loki might be able to lift Thor’s hammer by virtue of being king, its actual power would be less than if he fought bare-handed, because Mjolnir would not accept him; he was not worthy.

Loki himself couldn’t be sure when he would truly be able to use Gungnir, nor did he know what qualifications Gungnir required of its wielder.

Loki sighed and began to call out to the Asgardian civilians. This shelter had ample food and good ventilation, enough for them to hide here for a while.

Loki and Banner, meanwhile, had to deal with the largest Chitauri mothership, which was hovering in the skies above Asgard and served as the central command for all Chitauri soldiers invading Earth.

“Listen, Strange, we have to evacuate immediately!” Nick West said to Doctor Strange.

“No, there’s still a patient. We have to operate on him right away!” Strange shouted loudly.

“There’s no time! Can’t you see? There’s a huge battle outside, aliens have invaded!” Nick gritted his teeth, staring intently at Strange as if he were looking at a madman.

“If we don’t operate immediately, he’ll die!” Strange said.

“If you stay here, you’ll die with him!” Nick said impatiently. No sooner had he spoken than a sudden tremor shook the building. Doctor Strange looked up and out the window. Two shadows were blasted down from a huge spaceship in the sky, slamming into a tall building and breaking it in half.

Then the building collapsed, countless tons of concrete raining down, and the newly constructed skyscraper was instantly reduced to rubble.

However, in the next moment, a deafening thunderclap erupted from the shattered building. Two figures, enveloped in powerful lightning, shot up from the ground and soared towards the giant spaceship in the sky.

“Do you see, Strange? This is different from anything we’ve encountered before! This is an alien invasion!” Nick pleaded desperately.

“I’m asking you one last time, Nick! Are you coming or not!” Strange stared intently at Nick’s face, gritting his teeth as he spoke.

“I can’t die here, I’m sorry, Stephen!” Nick shook his head, preparing to leave.

Strange stretched out his right hand and grabbed Nick’s collar tightly. “You don’t deserve to be a doctor, Nick! You’ve forgotten your oath!” He finished, then shoved Nick hard and turned to leave.

Nick stumbled back a few steps from Strange’s shove before regaining his balance. He looked angrily at the retreating Strange and straightened his clothes.

Nick was an excellent doctor, and although he always liked to mock him, it was undeniable that he possessed extremely superior skills.

Especially when he himself was injured!

Strange extended his left hand, which was wrapped in thick bandages. A while ago, the emergency room had been struck by an alien object, and a wall had collapsed. At that time, Strange had been hit in the left hand by falling debris while trying to save an unconscious patient.

Now, his entire left hand constantly radiated pain, and waves of spasmodic pain made Strange’s temper irritable.

“You won’t come, will you? Fine, I’ll do it!” Strange gritted his teeth and pulled a nurse over.

“Where’s Doctor Palmer? Christine Palmer!” Strange asked, staring at the nurse in front of him.

“Oh! Uh, Doctor Palmer is in surgery,” the young nurse said nervously. She naturally recognized this young doctor, famous not only in the hospital but throughout the medical community.

“In surgery, huh…” Strange gritted his teeth. Now, due to the ridiculous alien invasion, a large number of patients were already being evacuated, and many doctors had also left. Only a few patients whose conditions were worsening and couldn’t be evacuated were undergoing surgery here. It could be said that medical resources were extremely scarce at this moment.

Strange clenched his still intact right hand. He clearly felt the pain in his left hand slowly diminishing, but this was not a good sign. He suspected that after everything was over, his left hand would never be able to hold a scalpel again.

But that wasn’t important.

“You, come with me. I need you to be my assistant!” Strange pointed at the young nurse and waved her over, signaling her to hurry up and follow.

“Have you been an assistant before?” Strange asked as he walked.

“Uh, a few times, but I’m not sure if I can…” the young nurse said nervously.

“Have confidence in yourself, Miss…” Strange drew out the word, asking for the nurse’s name.

“Carter, Linda Carter!” the young nurse said nervously.

“Very good, Carter, follow me!” Strange began the pre-operative preparations, meticulously performing disinfection and cleaning.

When everything was ready, Strange stood before the patient…

—

The surgery was not going smoothly; there was no doubt about that.

Strange currently had only one hand he could use for surgery, and his assistant was neither Nick West, with whom he had great synergy, nor Christine Palmer.

Beside him was just an unknown young nurse named Linda Carter.

Adding to that the constant roaring and explosions from outside, it was fair to say that the conditions were simply not conducive to performing surgery.

But if he didn’t operate, the patient would die quickly, so he had to take a gamble.

Strange ignored all the extraneous sounds from outside, ignored the intermittent pain from his left hand. He softly hummed a rock song, slowly performing the surgery with Linda Carter’s help.

He did all this not for money, not for his reputation. On the contrary, he gambled his life, his future, just to save this one life.

Because this was his principle as a doctor, the oath he had sworn.

At a certain S.H.I.E.L.D. base, a monitoring agent suddenly saw an alarm. He quickly pressed the communication button to contact his superior.

“Special item M- 63 is showing unknown changes. The item is constantly vibrating.”

“The item’s vibration is still increasing…”

“It’s about to shatter the glass! How is that possible? This thing can withstand a tank’s main cannon!”

“It’s gone! It’s gone!”

The supervisor stood up, staring blankly at the small object that had smashed through the S.H.I.E.L.D. base wall and shot into the sky. It streaked across the sky, leaving a bright cyan light trail, flying off into the distance.
