บท 334: Chapter 332 A Snap of Fingers
The atmosphere and white clouds parted, and even the sunlight couldn't conceal the colorful light as the Bifrost pierced through the layers of dimensional barriers from Asgard at the top of the sky.
Apparently, Heimdall, the guardian of Asgard's portal, heard Thor's call and promptly opened the Bifrost leading to Asgard.
"Go."
Kyle, like Jane and the others, waved goodbye to Thor and his companions.
Thor nodded firmly, raising Mjolnir high with the warriors. Without looking back, he lifted his mighty hammer.
In the next moment, a rainbow pillar of light descended from the sky, enveloping the figures of Thor and his group.
Simultaneously, a calm and familiar voice reached Kyle's ears.
"Kyle?"
Surprised, Kyle asked, "Heimdall?"
"It's me."
Heimdall replied through telepathy. While opening the rainbow bridge, he managed to convey a message to Kyle through the Bifrost portal, observing the scene on Earth with his all-seeing eyes.
"What's the matter?" Kyle inquired.
Heimdall quickly spoke, "Time is short. Listen, I recently obtained a slight lead regarding the information you asked me to investigate..."
"What did you say?!"
Kyle's mind trembled slightly. The thing he asked Heimdall to investigate was the only one in the past six months!
And it was crucial!
Listening intently, Kyle heard Heimdall say a sentence just as the rainbow pillar soared and disappeared. All that remained in the spot where Thor and the others had stood was a circular burning rune.
"The Milky Way?"
Muttering to himself, Kyle recalled Heimdall's words lingering in his ears. "About those three humans named Lucy, Howard, and Logan, their whereabouts..."
"Master, are we going to find Mother?" Venom asked in his mind.
"Of course, but it's not the right time yet." Kyle exhaled lightly, his eyes revealing a complex expression. He lowered his head and instructed Vis, who took the form of a wristwatch, "Vis, send an Interstellar jet over; I need to return to New York immediately."
"Yes, Master!" Vis acknowledged, and radio waves spread as it initiated remote communication with the Interstellar jet located far away.
Ten minutes later.
New York, Empire State Building, rooftop.
Raina, wearing a black gown, leaned against the railing. Her waist-length black hair fluttered in the wind, and sunlight bathed her fair and delicate face, accentuating its crystal-clear radiance.
She resembled a blossoming black rose— beautiful and captivating yet carrying a deadly danger.
"Sigh..."
Clouds in the sky shattered gradually, and with the approach of a strong heat stream, a state-of-the-art Falcon Interstellar jet emerged from invisibility, slowly descending in the center of the Empire State Building's rooftop.
The silver rear compartment door opened, and Kyle, with meteor-like steps, walked down from the jet.
"Boss." Raina lightly stroked her slightly disheveled hair, smiling faintly as she went forward to greet him. Naturally, she followed Kyle by his side, walking without any sense of incongruity, heading towards the staircase.
"Well, how are things on this side of New York?" Kyle asked as they walked.
"Everything is going smoothly." Raina swiftly entered secretary mode, eloquently reporting, "Temporary worker Eddie has found the remaining two extraterrestrial symbiotes and is on his way to the headquarters of the organization called 'Life Foundation.' Just to be safe, I've asked Lorna and one of the Cardinal to observe covertly and contacted Natasha, requesting her to send SHIELD agents for support at any time."
"Not bad. But what does 'temporary worker' mean?" Kyle was a bit puzzled when he heard that.
"Temporary worker means..." Raina pointed out several key clauses, providing a professional interpretation of the term.
Basically, it referred to doing the dirtiest and most exhausting work with the least benefits and no responsibilities for the agency.
"Isn't that a bit too miserable?" Kyle's mouth twitched slightly after hearing the explanation and he silently mourned for Eddie and the symbiote within him for half a second.
Speaking of symbiotes...
Kyle asked the one question Venom was most eager to know: "Does the symbiote inside Eddie really have no weaknesses to fire and sonic frequencies?"
Raina affirmed, "For the symbiote known as 'Venom,' its combat capabilities still need further observation. However, as it stands, it can be confirmed that— it is indeed not afraid of fire and high-frequency sonic waves."
"That's strange." Kyle, perplexed, rubbed his chin.
To have a symbiote born without any weaknesses seemed too exaggerated and insurmountable, even Venom snorted in dissatisfaction.
"Get ready. I want to head to the headquarters of the 'Life Foundation' and personally witness that symbiote." Kyle entered the top-floor room, and Raina considerately helped him remove the dusty outer coat.
"Boss, isn't this a bit too hasty? You've just returned from Mexico, and it's already afternoon. You could take a bath and have dinner first." Raina wrinkled her nose dissatisfiedly.
"Well, I will take a bath and have dinner first, but I will be quick," Kyle said without any change in his expression and in his eyes flashed a trace of burning urgency, which soon disappeared. However, Raina, who had been attentively observing him, happened to catch this scene.
"Boss, are you leaving again?" Raina's sudden question left Kyle momentarily stunned, and he remained silent.
"Are you planning to leave Earth again? For how many years this time, or decades?" Raina asked slowly, her voice deliberately slowed down.
"Raina, how did you figure it out?" Kyle looked at Raina in confusion. He had instructed Vis to keep it confidential and had deliberately concealed his emotions and expressions.
Yet, Raina managed to discern it in less than ten minutes after he returned.
"I can't read your mind but don't think you can hide it from me just because of that. After all, I'm also a woman with an inexplicable sixth sense." Raina's lips curled into a faint smile, triumphantly looking at him.
Of course, only in front of Kyle would she display the vulnerable posture of a young girl.
"Please don't hide things from me, okay?"
"Alright." Kyle relented, pursing his lips. "I received information about Lucy, Logan, and Howard. In a few days, they should still be within the Milky Way."
"I understand." Raina suddenly realized. As one of the people who knew Kyle best, she naturally understood the significance of Lucy, in his heart.
Perhaps between the safety of Earth and Lucy, Kyle might lean towards the latter.
"Don't worry. If there's no problem in Asgard, I can use the Bifrost to cross the galaxy directly and bring them back once they are found." Kyle reached out, gently stroking Raina's silky hair. He sighed softly, saying, "On the contrary, what worries me is leaving you guys on Earth."
"I know." Raina clasped Kyle's large hand with her delicate one, pressing it against her fair cheek and rubbing it gently. She lightly bit her cherry-like lips and said, "Blame my weakness. I can't ease your worries."
"You're weak? You're the Black Queen among all the powerful women." Kyle felt the excellent sensation and warmth transmitted through his palm, and he inexplicably became serious. "The main concern is the external enemies. Their strength has reached a level that you can't predict or defend against."
The next period of time would soon witness the Battle of New York, a famous battle in the Marvel universe.
This battle would overturn everything!
Earth was about to connect with the external universe. Humanity faced the crisis of extraterrestrial invasion, and the world would officially enter a new era!
Heroes would rise, aliens would invade, and even gods would descend! Technology clashed with magic, divine power dueled with the Force, and the splattering sparks of the war were a catastrophe for ordinary people!
In the end, a snap of the fingers would wipe out all living beings!
At present, humans can't imagine what the future holds for them!
