Chapter 443 Number Ten: Odin... Not bad!
"How interesting." Aizen murmured, scanning the realistic illusions around him, his mind racing with a multitude of thoughts.
Number ten... is the tenth among the numbered gods, and theoretically should also be the weakest. The Three Pillar Gods, on the other hand, are at the pinnacle of evil gods...
Judging from this perspective, Number Ten should be weaker than the Three Pillar Gods. Under such circumstances, it's quite intriguing that He still dared to personally seek out Yog, who was hailed as the strongest of the Three Pillar Gods.
There are two possibilities. One is that the two know each other in private, and may even have a good relationship, after all, Number Ten is also an evil god.
Another possibility is that Number Ten represented the Speaker of the Council this time. Even if the Speaker did not personally descend, Number Ten, upholding His will, was still enough to intimidate Yog.
"After much thought, the second possibility seems more likely," Aizen murmured.
Ying Zheng glanced thoughtfully at Aizen, smiled noncommittally, and continued to observe the surrounding scenery without asking any questions.
...
Marvel Universe, New York City.
By this time, the once bustling city had become dilapidated.
Screams, cries of fear, cries for help... and the sounds of gunfire and artillery mingled together.
The earth trembled continuously, explosions echoed one after another, tall buildings collapsed, and blood and shell marks mingled in the streets and alleys.
"Damn it!" Captain Steve Rogers suddenly swung the shield on his arm, knocking back a strangely shaped alien soldier with a clang.
"Roar!" Hulk roared angrily as he fought a ten-meter-tall, armored monster that looked like a gorilla.
Hawkeye stood atop a tall building, firing arrows continuously, with frost, fire, and lightning constantly intertwining.
With a sharp cry, the wall was torn apart, and tentacles suddenly shot out, piercing his back.
"...Damn it." Hawkeye's pupils contracted sharply, but it was too late to dodge. He could only desperately try to avoid them, hoping the tentacles would pierce non-lethal parts of his body...
With a deafening roar, terrifying lightning swept in all directions, shattering all the tentacles.
The rainbow bridge shimmered with light.
Thor emerged from the lightning, his expression utterly solemn… and he wasn't alone. Behind him followed numerous gods of Asgard, all clad in armor and bearing solemn expressions…
In the end, even Odin, clad in armor, emerged from the light of the Rainbow Bridge.
"...My God! This is incredibly powerful reinforcement." After a brief moment of shock, Hawkeye broke into a bright smile, walked over to Thor, and patted him heavily on the shoulder. Then, he looked at the others with some confusion.
"Asgard is going all out to help Midgard this time! But... don't let your guard down, or, to put it another way," Thor paused, glancing at his father's retreating figure, a shadow falling over his eyes, "this situation may be worse than we imagine."
Back in Asgard, Thor said he was coming to Earth, only to discover... that Odin was also going with him, and had even begun gathering the army of the Asgardians...
From that moment on, Thor realized something truly enormous had happened.
This could very well spark a full-scale war across Asgard... It's not impossible that the flames of war could spread to the Nine Realms...
"...What?" Hawkeye had only relaxed for a moment when his body tensed up again. His lips trembled and his face looked extremely pale.
Odin, wielding the eternal spear Kungnir, with a mere flick of his wrist, unleashed a terrifying surge of energy that swept in all directions, tearing apart swathes of corrupted alien soldiers.
At the same time, this terrifying move did not harm the Earthlings in the slightest... demonstrating his extremely exquisite control over his own power.
Odin said softly, "Ancient One, I have led the Asgardian army here! We have shown you all the best... I ask that you come out and meet me."
After a brief silence, the void suddenly began to distort. A secret gate materialized and took shape.
"...What is this?" After a brief moment of thought, Odin suddenly realized something. He stepped inside, as if he had entered another world.
That's New York's mirror world.
However, within this fantastical world, all sorts of bizarre and malevolent creatures, larger than skyscrapers, roar and fight.
The Ancient One remained indifferent, simply standing atop the high building, her palm gently turning.
Instantly, the entire world began to spin like a machine, grinding powerful evil beings into dust... or pushing the indelible evil beings far away...
“I was thinking… you should be able to deal with those guys outside easily, so why did you ask me for help, and even make it sound so serious… Turns out, the real battlefield is in your mirror world. No wonder…” Odin’s voice was low and hoarse.
Then, he glanced behind the Ancient One. Tony Stark sat there calmly with his eyes closed, the Eye of Agamotto hanging around his neck.
Odin seemed thoughtful. "Interesting... Is this the successor you've chosen?"
The Ancient One did not answer, his gaze still fixed on the distance.
"Roar!" In the distance, a huge black hole twisted, and an enormous, eerie octopus let out a sharp cry.
The next moment, Hawkeye, who had followed Thor cautiously into this world, let out a muffled groan.
He felt an unbearable pain in his brain at that moment. He clutched his head, first kneeling down, then slowly collapsing to the ground... He curled up, his body convulsing uncontrollably...
"My friend! What happened?" Thor's expression changed slightly.
He knelt on the ground and then noticed that strange fleshy growths were developing on Hawkeye's cheeks. His hands were also gradually transforming into fins that resembled those of a fish…
“…What is this?” Odin stepped forward slowly, and after only two glances, his mind was shaken.
After a brief silence, his gaze turned icy. "Ancient One... you were right! This is indeed not just about Midgard."
"This is... something concerning the entire Nine Realms! Even something concerning the entire universe."
Odin's vision was extraordinary. He saw at a glance the terrifying nature of this strange contamination... It was too dangerous!
