章 330: Chapter 328 Invasion
Due to Kyle's words, everyone in the main hall fell silent, directing their puzzled gazes towards him.
In the previous moment, he was a refined and gentle urban elite.
In the next moment, Kyle's gaze had become sharp, his eyes devoid of emotion, his demeanor domineering and direct. With each step, he emanated substantial pressure.
"Jane, step back. You, what exactly are you..."
As Kyle approached, Thor broke into a cold sweat. He cautiously extended his hand to shield Jane, feeling an inexplicable pressure and involuntarily taking a step back.
From Kyle, who no longer concealed his strength, Thor felt an indescribable and immense pressure, along with a uniquely familiar sensation.
Friend? Foe? It was hard to tell.
"Haven't recognized me yet? You've truly become a complete mortal, my old friend." Kyle smiled faintly as he reached out to pat Thor's shoulder. Thor attempted to dodge, but the reactions of a mortal body were too slow. He couldn't avoid the pat and stumbled back a few steps.
"Your Highness!"
Sif was astonished as he looked at this. With a sword in hand, she was about to protect Thor. However, the other three gestured to stop her.
"What are you doing?" Sif puzzledly looked at Hogun but he didn't respond. With rough excitement on his face, he and the other two stepped forward.
Following the etiquette for someone of Thor's stature, the three warriors knelt once again in front of Kyle.
Hogun exclaimed with excitement on his face, "This intense and vigorous fire-based divine power is unmistakable. Lord Guardian, I didn't expect you to reunite with Thor so early."
Lord Guardian?
Everyone was dumbfounded by these words, and they were unable to grasp the current situation.
"What Guardian? In our realm, there are only two Guardians..." Thor rubbed his sore shoulder and suddenly froze, staring wide-eyed at Kyle, who had just slapped him. "You're... Kyle? Earth's Kyle?"
"Who else could it be?" Kyle shrugged, retorting with a touch of resentment, "Don't talk behind my back next time. If I hadn't welcomed you to Earth, you'd still be locked up in SHIELD's cell."
"Hahaha, my friend! But why did you intentionally hide your identity? Now that I've become a mortal, I can't even sense the fire-based divine power on you." Thor laughed heartily as he walked up to Kyle for a bear hug.
Kyle lightly tapped Thor's chest with his finger, exerting only ten times the strength of a human, yet causing Thor to jolt back as if shocked.
Waving his hand disdainfully, Kyle retorted, "Get away. Both you and Steve love this kind of play."
It had to be said, a macho man needed a delicate partner. For example, Captain America Steve paired with Winter Soldier Bucky, and Thor with the mischievous Loki...
The etiquette of Asgardians towards Kyle, as well as the conversation between Thor and Kyle, were observed by Jane, Erik, and Darcy.
"Mr. Carl? Kyle...? It can't be," Darcy murmured to herself before she covered her mouth in shock.
Looking at Erik's troubled expression, Jane angrily questioned, "Professor, how long were you planning to keep this from us?!"
"Sorry," Erik publicly apologized, then explained, "Obviously, Mr. Carl is Mr. Kyle. His real identity is the Symbol of Peace, and I don't need to say more. You all understand."
"The one who should apologize is me," Kyle spoke, "Two days ago, I received direct orders from Odin to secretly watch over Thor, who was banished to Earth. Therefore, I had to hide my identity and travel with your small team, using Erik as an intermediary."
"We can't afford the apologies of a legendary hero."
Jane was evidently still upset. Worriedly, she approached Darcy, who stood still, and gently inquired, "Darcy, are you okay?"
"I-I'm fine," Darcy forced a smile, her beautiful eyes filled with the desolation of ashen despair.
Some things end before they even begin.
Falling for someone, she had initially thought that if it were the company's executive, she could try to get closer through her own efforts, perhaps attempting to interview for a secretary position.
But if it was the Symbol of Peace— the dream lover of her grandmother's generation, the vast difference made it impossible to bridge with mere efforts.
Unable to contain his curiosity, Thor asked, "Kyle, did you say my father, the king, instructed you to secretly take care of me?"
Kyle nodded, raising an eyebrow. "Other than your father, there's really no one who has the audacity to make me leave New York just to protect you. Two days ago, he intended to exile you to Earth, allowing you to temper your arrogance and find something that could make you into a qualified King."
"I see. Father hasn't given up on me." Thor's emotions were like a roller coaster, suddenly soaring from hell to heaven.
The three warriors and Sif stood up urgently, pleading with Kyle, "Lord Guardian. Asgard is currently facing internal strife and external invasion, and we need your strength. We implore you to return to Asgard with His Highness and assist us in overcoming this crisis."
As Kyle contemplated, a sudden loud noise echoed from the sky near the small town.
"Something is coming!" Hogun exclaimed as his face turned pale.
Everyone rushed out of the house and, following the sound, saw a huge hole in the hazy sky half a mile away. The sky around the hole whirled into a tornado, blowing up dust and sand in all directions.
This unnatural phenomenon not only attracted the residents of the town to come out and watch but also alarmed the SHIELD personnel stationed around the town.
"Boom!"
At the center of the black tornado, a humanoid object descended, perfectly landing on the barren ground. The violent storm ceased only after this figure was firmly in place.
When SHIELD agents arrived at the scene, they saw, descending from the sky and accompanied by the tornado phenomenon, a three-meter-tall Iron giant walking out of the crater.
It lacked facial features such as a mouth or nose; its face was a hollow slot for energy. Its limbs and head were finely crafted from silver metal, radiating an extremely dangerous and chilling glow under the sunlight.
Getting down from the SHIELD vehicles, Agent Coulson examined the giant with a helpless smile. "Tell me it's not another high-tech gadget made by Symbol of Peace or Stark, is it?"
The Silver Giant remained silent. The energy slot on its face gradually brightened, accumulating a dazzling light. It aimed at the SHIELD vehicles blocking its path.
"Hey, hey, is this one of Stark's?" Coulson chuckled and, responding to him, was a glaring red laser beam.
The red laser swept across the wilderness, wreaking havoc on the vehicles within ten meters in front of the Silver Giant. They were disassembled and destroyed, turning into fireballs in a massive explosion.
Coulson narrowly avoided danger, retreating with the help of a group of guards. While stepping back, he picked up a communicator and shouted loudly, "Calling Headquarters! There's a monstrous Silver Colored Iron Giant here, requesting reinforcements! Requesting reinforcements!"
