Chapter 32: Pacific Rim
Facing the unmatched power of Thanos, Loki chose to speak from his heart, lowering his head and saying softly, "Thank you for your assistance. I am Loki, son of Odin."
Thanos frowned slightly, and a beam of energy shot from his eyes, piercing through the layers of ice created by the Frost Box, sending Loki flying ten meters away, crashing harshly into a pillar in the great hall.
"Put away your tricks. This is my domain, Thanos! The name of Odin holds no power here!"
"Respected Lord Thanos, please forgive my rudeness."
Loki calmed the surging divine power within him and respectfully bowed to Thanos. After a conversation, Thanos confirmed the destruction of the Rainbow Bridge and sensed Loki's resentment.
"I need you to help me invade Earth. In return, I will help you ascend to the throne of Asgard!"
Upon hearing Thanos' words, Loki's pupils contracted. The throne was a perpetual pain in his heart, but aiding others in invading his own realm posed a dilemma. However, considering Odin's favouritism, Loki eventually agreed to Thanos' request.
Watching Loki's departing figure, a cold smile appeared on Thanos' lips. He couldn't directly go to the Nine Realms as it would be seen as an invasion, and the powerful beings of the Nine Realms would rally to expel him. However, with the Prince of Asgard leading the way, the nature of the situation changed from an invasion to a royal struggle. The other realms' powerful beings would only watch and enjoy Odin's predicament. Once he crafted a weapon capable of harnessing the power of the Infinity Stones, everything would fall under his control.
After making all the arrangements, Thanos continued his path of destruction. As a seasoned servant, he knew how to gain presence before the goddesses. The thought of the powers of the Death Goddess that he obtained from those he killed, now residing in the realm of death, filled him with an inexhaustible vigour.
Yi Hu opened the door and looked at the tidy living room, secretly sighing that Jessica had changed and even knew how to clean. After searching around, he didn't find her figure. Yi Hu didn't think much of it and assumed Jessica went to investigate the case. He walked straight to the bedroom on the third floor. The audio device on the bedside table suddenly emitted a blue light, and a Barbie-like hologram appeared before Yi Hu, speaking in a gentle voice.
"Sir, after you left, Miss Jessica was attacked."
Yi Hu looked at the projection of Elisa and his face gradually turned grim. The image of Natasha entering the room with her men in the video increased his anger.
Putting Elisa into his system backpack, Yi Hu strolled to the basement and found a box containing Baymax among a pile of junk. After the initial excitement passed, Jessica quickly grew tired of the overweight man who kept insisting on checking her body.
Putting Baymax into his backpack, Yi Hu walked calmly to the lawn. Turning around and looking at the house where he had lived for over a year, a red light gleamed in his eyes. The intense beam of light destroyed the house. Just as he was about to take out his phone and dial Jessica's number, he saw an unfamiliar number on the screen. Pressing the answer button, Nick Fury's deep voice came through the phone.
"We had no intention of harming Miss Jessica. She was abducted by a group of people, and we are trying to rescue her."
"Heh... Do you think I'll believe your nonsense? Everyone knows how good you are at lying, Nick Fury. From flirting with a Chitauri to being blinded by one eye, you managed to turn it into saving the world. What lie can't you tell?"
Yi Hu's words made Nick Fury's temples throb. He had never told anyone about this secret, so how did the other person know? Listening to the panting sound from the other end of the phone, Yi Hu's mouth curled with disdain as he hung up and strode towards S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters.
Meanwhile, in an abandoned factory, Erik, who was trying to influence Jessica, furrowed his brow and turned to look at the sky. In his senses, there was a large object nearby.
He slowly raised his right hand, attempting to manipulate the object with magnetism, but a powerful force repelled him. Charles, who had been pushed off the plane by Mystique, spoke softly, "Erik, let go of that girl! She has her own will and doesn't belong in your Brotherhood!"
Erik glanced at the jugganaut and Mystique behind him, then looked at the fully assembled X-Men. After a moment of silence, he turned away with the two and felt a slight pressure from Mystique.
Yi Hu, who was on his way to S.H.I.E.L.D. headquarters, suddenly heard his phone ringing. He looked at the unfamiliar number on the screen, furrowed his brow, and answered the call. Just as he was about to speak, he heard Jessica's voice on the other end.
"Boss, where are you?"
"Jessica?" Yi Hu exclaimed in surprise. "Aren't you captured by S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
"What S.H.I.E.L.D.? I was captured by a weird old guy wearing a helmet who wanted me to join some Brotherhood. Then I was saved by the bald guy who came to us before."
Charles twitched his mouth slightly, feeling somewhat offended. Yi Hu turned and headed towards the location Jessica mentioned. An hour later, the two met in the abandoned factory.
"Thank you for your help, Professor!" Yi Hu bowed to Charles and looked Jessica up and down, relieved to see that she wasn't injured.
"Boss, that weird old guy was so cruel. He only gave me one meal a day. Do you know how I've been living these past two days? When I get home, I'm going to have a big feast!"
Upon hearing the word "home," Yi Hu's face revealed an awkward expression. He remembered his previous act of destroying the house to show determination, and it pained him.
"No need to go back. The house has been destroyed. I have to go on a trip soon. You can stay with the Professor for a while, and we'll decide where to go when I come back."
Yi Hu calmly gave instructions and then turned to Charles, whispering, "Consider this a favor owed to you."
Yi Hu took out a bank card and handed it to Jessica. He watched her board the Blackbird aircraft and waited until the sound of the engine disappeared completely before shifting his focus to the world options, searching for a target.
After some searching, his gaze settled on the Pacific Rim. Thinking about the towering mecha inside, Yi Hu's heart burned with excitement. Although it was completely useless to him at the moment, it would make a great addition to his collection.
Moreover, the extraterrestrial biotechnology inside was also something desirable. Yi Hu closed his eyes, silently confirming his decision. When he opened his eyes again, he was already on the open sea. Using telekinesis to hover in the air, he watched the churning waves below, complaining about the unreliable nature of his time-traveling ability.
If it were his powerless self from before, he would probably have died instantly. Just as Yi Hu was about to leave, he suddenly heard the sound of a battle in the distance. He turned his head and saw a blue giant mecha pummeling a monster with a horn on its head.
Listening to the sounds of impact in the air, Yi Hu felt his blood boiling. This was much more exhilarating than watching it in a movie. However, this type of mecha wasn't what he desired the most
. The current mecha still required full manual operation. He wanted to wait until the advent of intelligent mecha before embarking on world destruction.
