Chapter 179: Chapter: 179
"Magneto, find a vantage point. I need a broad, panoramic view!"
Zoom!
Magneto spun around at Mark's feet and then rushed out of the room towards the high point of Asgard—the Palace of the Gods.
In the instant the loud noise reached his ears, Mark knew exactly what had happened. The Dark Elves, who had been dormant for thousands of years, had invaded Asgard and launched another war.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Mark immediately dispatched Magneto to the high point of Asgard to gain the widest view and the most comprehensive information.
Soon, the visual information obtained by Magneto through holographic and optical lenses was transmitted to Mark's eyes through the wireless communication network constructed by the nanobots inside his body.
At the outer periphery of Asgard's airspace, there was a massive mothership of a space battleship, accompanied by at least hundreds of micro-sized warships attempting to invade the central palace, by breaking through the layered defenses of Asgard.
These micro-sized warships resembled daggers, small in size, agile in movement, and equipped with formidable energy weapons. Although Asgard's defense network was strong like the one in Wakanda, long-term defense would eventually lead to defeat. The enemy broke through in large numbers and approached the location of the palace.
Seeing the approaching enemy and their own precarious situation, Heimdall, in order to protect the core of Asgard—the Palace where the All-Father Odin resided—decisively activated the energy shield of the palace, attempting to keep the enemy outside.
After the energy shield was activated, its effect was indeed impressive. It quickly closed, enveloping the palace in protection. When the enemy ships collided with the shield, they either exploded and crashed or had no other outcome.
As for the few ships that managed to change direction in time or passed through before the energy shield closed, they were quickly eliminated by Asgard's defense forces due to their limited number.
Mark was very envious of Asgard's energy shield technology. Although he could also achieve the function of an energy shield using the electrical energy output from the Arc Reactor, its energy density, scale, and defensive capabilities could not compare to Asgard's protective artifact.
The key to the strength of this shield lay in the fact that it was created using runic technology and its energy source came from the nearly limitless dark energy in the universe. The shield's ability to absorb and supply energy allowed it to maintain a high-density energy level for a long time, resisting powerful impacts.
However, the strongest defense is often undermined from within, and the energy shield of Asgard was no exception. Just as the shield was about to reach its peak and fully close, it suddenly lost power and began to gradually fade away.
Mark knew that this was the work of the curse warriors the Dark Elves had dispatched into Asgard's interior. They had sabotaged the control core of the energy shield, completely rendering this defense measure ineffective.
At this moment, a warship seized the opportunity, broke through all defenses, smashed through the walls of the central palace, and entered the central hub.
"If I'm not mistaken, the leader of the Dark Elves, Malekith, is on that warship. Now is not the time to hold back. I must quickly go to Queen Frigga's chamber."
The treatment for Jane was already halfway through, and it couldn't be stopped. If Malekith were to intrude at this moment, things might develop in the worst possible direction. Jane and Frigga would both lose their lives at his hands, and the Aether would be taken back by him.
In that case, Thor would undoubtedly be devastated. Once Malekith obtained the Aether, the level of difficulty in dealing with him would escalate once again, and it wouldn't just threaten Asgard anymore.
After all, the Dark Elves' goal was to plunge the entire universe back into darkness. For Earth, which relied on the sun for almost all vital energy, this would undoubtedly be a catastrophic disaster."
Thinking of this, Mark dared not delay. He had to prevent Malekith from obtaining the Aether; otherwise, Earth would fall into a tremendous crisis, and it was uncertain whether Thor could stop this crisis in time.
Activating the superconductive magnetic levitation module, under the influence of a special force field, Mark's own gravity was relatively neutralized, allowing him to float in mid-air with a gentle leap.
Then, the nanobots within Mark's body became visible, assembling and combining to form a set of energy thrusters.
Buzz—swoosh!
Then, with the sound of wind, Mark disappeared from his original position, heading towards Frigga's chamber.
Meanwhile, inside her own chamber, Frigga was sweating profusely as she manipulated the Tesseract. Due to the unexpected events in the realm, Frigga sensed a hint of danger.
To ensure the smooth success of the treatment, she had to speed up and extract the Aether from Jane's body as soon as possible. To do so, she spared no effort in depleting her stored magical energy, intensifying the stimulation of the Tesseract, hoping to increase the attraction between the Tesseract and the Aether.
Her approach indeed achieved success. Although her magical energy was on the verge of depletion, the Aether inside Jane's body had already emerged and was about to completely separate. Frigga couldn't afford to be complacent.
Because even a small misstep at this moment could cause all the efforts in this entire process to go in vain. And if her magical energy was depleted, she wouldn't be able to provide further treatment for Jane in the short term.
Her eyes fixed tightly on the Aether about to leave Jane's body, while simultaneously diverting her attention to the activation device of the Tesseract. Additionally, she reached out her left hand, picking up the container used to seal the Aether. Success was within sight...
