Chapitre 211: Chapter 211
Soon, Heimdall arrived at the palace of King Odin.
"Your Majesty..." Heimdall recounted everything he had witnessed.
Hearing this, King Odin frowned, "Malekith..."
Odin was neither completely surprised nor completely caught off guard by Malekith's rebellion. He had long predicted that the Dark Elves would rise again, but what surprised him was Heimdall's revelation that the Aether had resurfaced.
Knowing that the Dark Elves were awakened by the Aether, Odin immediately deduced their intentions. It was the same as thousands of years ago—to use the Aether to plunge the universe back into eternal darkness.
"Where is the Aether now?" Odin asked, looking toward Heimdall.
Heimdall hesitated for a moment. After discovering Malekith's awakening, on his way to report to Odin, he had tried to locate the Aether and check on Thor and the others. Since the Aether was no longer hidden in a special space, he had easily pinpointed its location. The person possessing it was someone he had been watching closely, making it impossible for him not to notice.
After thinking for a moment, Heimdall replied, "The Aether is currently in Midgard, held by someone you're quite familiar with."
He paused, seeing the surprise on Odin's face before continuing, "Moreover, it's not just the Aether—the Tesseract is also in this person's possession."
Upon hearing this, King Odin's face showed a flash of astonishment, and his brows furrowed tightly as his expression grew more serious.
The Tesseract contained the Space Stone, which Odin knew well. Because of this, he was acutely aware of the dangers posed when multiple Infinity Stones came together. These stones were a source of disaster—countless beings across the universe sought them. If all six stones were united, it could trigger unimaginable catastrophes...
No one understood this better than Odin. At one point, he had even considered collecting the stones himself. The Infinity Gauntlet in Asgard's treasure vault had been created for that very purpose.
However, due to various reasons, Odin had abandoned the idea of collecting the stones, leaving the gauntlet with fake gems in the vault as a mere token of what could have been.
Realizing how dangerous the stones were, Odin had even sent the Tesseract away from Asgard, leaving it on Earth.
And now Heimdall was telling him that both the Tesseract and the Aether were in the possession of a single person. It was no wonder Odin was so shocked.
"Who is it?" Odin asked gravely.
He had momentarily overlooked Heimdall's mention that the person in question was someone he was familiar with.
Heimdall hesitated again, then said, "It's with the White Knight."
Odin's serious expression quickly turned to one of astonishment, his emotions becoming complicated.
He was both shocked and surprised.
Of course, Odin knew about the White Knight. After the young man lifted Thor's hammer, Odin had kept a close eye on him.
However, Odin hadn't expected the Aether and the Tesseract to fall into that young man's hands. In the short time he hadn't been watching, such an extraordinary event had occurred.
"Has Thor returned?" Odin asked.
Heimdall shook his head in response, which didn't surprise Odin. He had only asked out of formality.
Without the Tesseract, Thor was likely still stranded on Midgard.
Not dwelling on the matter, Odin tightened his grip on the golden scepter in his hand. A terrifying surge of energy erupted from him.
In the next moment, a brilliant beam of multicolored light shot out, headed straight for Earth.
This was none other than the Rainbow Bridge's teleportation power. Despite the bridge itself being destroyed, Odin was still able to wield this power.
Heimdall stood calmly by, watching the rainbow beam as it descended toward Earth, as though he could see exactly where it was headed.
...
Earth, New York
Thor, currently resting at Stark's luxurious mansion, was feeling frustrated. He had been seeking Tony Stark's help, hoping there might be a way to return to Asgard.
Suddenly, he froze and instinctively looked up.
Boom!
A rainbow-colored beam burst through the ceiling of Stark's mansion, engulfing Thor in its radiant light.
Thor was dumbfounded, muttering, "The Rainbow Bridge?"
"No... it's Father!"
Realizing what was happening, Thor's face lit up with excitement. He turned to the bewildered Tony Stark and exclaimed, "Haha! I can finally go ba—"
Before he could finish his sentence, Thor vanished along with the beam of light, leaving behind a complex rune pattern etched into Stark's floor.
"Goddammit!" Stark swore as he stared at the hole in his mansion's ceiling and the damaged floor where Thor had stood.
His expression turned serious.
Why had Thor suddenly been summoned back to Asgard? Had something happened in the divine realm?
As Stark pondered this, the appearance of the rainbow-colored beam did not go unnoticed by others. Several civilians witnessed the event firsthand, and S.H.I.E.L.D.'s instruments had also detected the powerful energy.
Even Syd, who was a fair distance away, quickly noticed the familiar energy surge, his connection to Asgard making him especially sensitive to it.
"That's the Rainbow Bridge's energy beam?"
Syd was taken aback but quickly pieced together what had likely happened.
Currently, the Rainbow Bridge was still destroyed, as the Tesseract—needed to repair it—was still in his possession.
As for this similar teleportation energy, Syd immediately understood.
It was Odin's doing.
Syd wasn't particularly surprised. After all, the Rainbow Bridge had two meanings: it referred both to the teleportation device and to the ability itself.
The ability to summon the Rainbow Bridge was an extension of Odin's power, or more precisely, a part of Asgard's divine heritage.
For Thor, this divine power manifested as his lightning abilities.
Even without the Rainbow Bridge device, the power of the Rainbow Bridge could still be used—by either Odin or Thor.
Even Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost, could use it, as he had been granted access to Odin's power, allowing him to invoke the Rainbow Bridge's teleportation.
