Chapter 113: Ice and Fire, Returning to Earth

"An eyeball?"

To be honest, when Orion Cross saw the reward for completing the mission, he was somewhat disappointed. Let alone a single eyeball, even if he were directly given a pair of Eternal Mangekyo Sharingan, it would honestly only be so-so.

Orion Cross was no longer the existence from the beginning who had to charge for an hour just to talk for five minutes.

But if one asked whether this thing matched the content and difficulty of the Loki Series Mission, it indeed did. After all, no matter how one put it, this was basically a one-time-use permanent hypnosis modifier.

Whether it would work on an existence of Thanos’s level, Orion Cross did not want to know, but right now, he immediately had a very interesting idea.

The Soul Stone required sacrificing a beloved person to obtain it. If Kotoamatsukami were used to make Captain America fall in love with a cockroach, then he was told that to save the world, he had to sacrifice that cockroach, Steve would absolutely agree with pain in his heart.

Then they could watch Steve, holding the Soul Stone in his hand, crying out the cockroach’s name in grief.

"What a disgusting image."

Orion Cross shook his head and threw the scene out of his mind. In truth, as long as Thanos was not allowed to gather all six stones and snap his fingers, then they would not need to gather all six stones to save anyone either. The Soul Stone was not a necessity.

"Hello."

A voice came from behind Orion Cross.

Turning around, Frigga was standing behind him while holding a box.

"Inside, one item is Asgard’s gratitude. The other is his regret and apology."

Frigga placed the box in front of Orion Cross and stood to the side with a smile.

Orion Cross frowned slightly and reached toward the box. When he opened a crack, no intense aura spread from inside. It seemed to be nothing but an ordinary mortal object.

However, once Orion Cross fully opened the box, he immediately understood the source of that feeling and gave Frigga a deep look.

Inside the box, one item was the Casket of Ancient Winters. And inside the Casket of Ancient Winters was a mass of Eternal Flame that burned endlessly. Precisely because the powers of ice and fire canceled each other out, Orion Cross had initially mistaken them for mortal objects.

To be able to contend against the Casket of Ancient Winters, which was powerful enough to create an ice age, that mass of Eternal Flame was naturally also a source of fire.

"Does he want to resist the fate of Ragnarok?"

Orion Cross accepted the Casket of Ancient Winters and the Eternal Flame, looked at Frigga, and asked.

"No. It was my suggestion."

Frigga shook her head slightly and sat beside Orion Cross. "Those three children have suffered too much hardship. Originally, I had no power to change anything. But now..."

"Then let Thor temporarily stay on Earth."

Orion Cross glanced at Thor, who was standing on a high platform and gazing into the distance.

"That was precisely what we decided. Thor has still not obtained the qualification to lift Mjolnir, which means he still needs experience."

Frigga looked at her son and sighed faintly. "It is just that he has now fallen into self-blame because of Loki’s death. I do not know when he will recover."

"Don’t worry. Earth may not have much else, but there are countless forms of entertainment that can make people happy."

Orion Cross smiled and said to Frigga.

"Then I can rest easy. Thank you."

Frigga deeply bowed to Orion Cross, then raised her head and looked at Thor one final time. "He is now in a mortal body. It would be best if someone reminds him to eat. Don’t let him go hungry."

"He absolutely won’t go hungry."

Orion Cross nodded to Frigga and made his promise.

Thor Series Mission: Thunder! God of the Fat Otaku.

Mission Description: What flows in my blood is not lightning, but beer and cheese!

Mission Details: Increase Thor’s weight by one hundred kilograms. Current progress: 290 out of 301 kilograms.

Asgardians had three times the body density of Earth humans. That meant their weight was usually three times that of ordinary people. Thor’s original weight was 290 kilograms, which was roughly equivalent to the build of an Earth human weighing ninety-six kilograms.

And making Thor gain one hundred kilograms was equivalent to making an ordinary Earth human gain thirty kilograms, except that the amount of food required would be doubled.

"Thank you."

After receiving Orion Cross’s promise, Frigga thanked him, rose, and walked toward Thor. After saying a few simple words to him, she left.

Once Thor finished speaking with his mother, he came to Orion Cross. "Orion, you have a way to return to Midgard, right? With that sparkling portal of yours?"

"Yes. Are you ready?"

Orion Cross drank some juice from the banquet and raised his head to look at Thor.

"I still have many things to learn. In Asgard, everyone flatters me. I cannot improve here."

Thor looked at Orion Cross and spoke seriously.

"Is that really what you think?"

Orion Cross raised an eyebrow. "Why do I feel like those are Frigga’s words?"

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Thor’s face. "It was what my mother told me, but the food and fine drinks in Midgard really are excellent..."

"Fine."

Orion Cross also did not want to stay in Asgard for even one more second, so he drew open a portal. Opening a portal without a Sling Ring did consume a lot of energy, but if he truly wanted to use it, he would not care about that bit of consumption.

"Wait a moment."

Just as Thor was about to step through the portal, he suddenly thought of something, took a deep breath, and stretched out his right hand.

Thud!

Mjolnir flew into his hand.

"Hurry up and go. You only have half an hour today. Find a place for both Mjolnir and yourself to stay."

Seeing Thor holding the hammer with an excited expression, Orion Cross immediately poured cold water over him.

"Right. We have to hurry!"

After Orion Cross reminded him, Thor no longer wasted time and rushed straight through the portal.

Orion Cross followed closely behind and also returned to Earth.

Their location was the same place where they had left through the Bifrost earlier.

Everyone had not left. After seeing the two return, they all came forward.

"A large amount of abnormal magnetic field activity appeared around us just now, and the sky fell into darkness... Does that have something to do with you?"

Coulson picked up his phone and played a video he had recorded of the sky.

When Loki activated the Bifrost and prepared to destroy Jotunheim, the sky above Earth had also shown a scene like the end of the world. Fortunately, it had not lasted long and did not cause too much panic.

"Yes. My brother Loki wanted to use the Bifrost to destroy Jotunheim, but Orion Cross stopped him."

Thor glanced at it, nodded, and answered.

"The Bifrost can be used to attack?"

Coulson caught the key point and stared at Thor as he asked.

"That’s right. After unlocking its authority with Gungnir, the Bifrost’s energy is enough to destroy an entire planet."

Thor had no intention of hiding it and directly nodded in admission.

A sense of crisis rose in Coulson’s heart. What would happen if the Bifrost aimed at Earth?

"But you don’t need to worry now, because the method Orion used to stop it was punching the Bifrost apart. That was truly manly. Even I wanted to try it after seeing it!"

Thor noticed Coulson’s expression, laughed, and patted him on the shoulder.
