Chapter 716: Request for Aid

“War in Asgard?…”

After listening to Jane’s narration, Stephen’s face showed a troubled expression. He said, “I’m sorry, I still need to repair the magic web, so I probably can’t help you. However, I know someone who might be able to offer you some assistance.”

More than half a month had passed, and with three old wizards vouching for him, Stephen, Ancient One’s closed-door disciple, had essentially unified the forces within Kamar-Taj.

He had become the new Sorcerer Supreme.

His first task after taking office was to repair the defensive magic webs of the three Sanctums to prevent demon gods like Dormammu from invading Earth again.

This was no small task.

Although he had the assistance of Kamar-Taj’s forces, half a month was still too short.

If it weren’t for the extremely strong dark energy warning from Norway, Stephen would probably still be at the New York Sanctum, laboriously repairing its magic web.

Furthermore, most of Stephen’s current strength relied on the power of the Time Stone, and his magical skill was still at a mediocre level compared to the previous Sorcerer Supreme, Ancient One.

Even if he wanted to go to Asgard to help, he felt somewhat powerless.

“You said someone could help Thor?” Jane’s face showed a hopeful expression.

Her earlier plea to Stephen was more like a desperate attempt, but she hadn’t expected to actually find someone.

“Yes, that person is Mike, you should be familiar with him.” Stephen didn’t play coy and gave the answer directly.

“Are you referring to Mr. Guardian? I’ve heard Thor mention him…” As Thor’s girlfriend, Jane had naturally heard of Mike’s reputation.

She had even seen his promotional video on the projection screen in New York City Plaza.

And the great reputation of “Guardian” was not unfounded; his achievements were verifiable.

Considering this, Jane, slightly excited, eagerly asked, “So how do we contact him? With that amazing magic you just performed?”

To ordinary people, the power of magic was indeed wondrous.

Although Jane was Thor’s girlfriend and had the Aether inside her, she was fundamentally still just an ordinary person.

“No, it’s not that complicated,” Stephen shook his head, then, under Jane’s expectant gaze, pulled out a cell phone from his sorcerer’s attire.

As a former renowned doctor, Stephen was not averse to high technology.

And as one of Mike’s few friends, he happened to have his phone number.

So, under Jane’s surprised gaze, Stephen dialed Mike’s private number.

The phone rang several times before it was finally answered.

“Mike, I hope I’m not disturbing you? Someone here needs help…”

“Yes… location? Here at the ancient ruins in the southern suburbs of Norway…”

“Alright, we’ll wait for you here.”

“…”

Stephen, who had hung up the phone, breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Given his relationship with Mike, he was genuinely worried that Mike might have an “engagement” and couldn’t come.

Fortunately, the outcome was good.

“What did Mr. Guardian say? Did he agree to come help?” Seeing the sorcerer end the call, Jane couldn’t help but ask.

With Thor and Asgard’s safety at stake, it was hard for Jane not to be agitated.

“Relax. Mike has agreed to help and will be here soon.” Stephen comforted the anxious Jane.

He reassured her… “Wanda, you rest first. I have something I need to go out for. We’ll continue when I get back…” On the second floor of the villa, Mike, after finishing his call, instructed the girl beside him.

Yes, given Wanda’s initiative.

The two had finally broken through the last barrier, and their battle had moved from the living room to the second-floor bedroom.

“Was that the call just now? I’ll go with you.” After their relationship was established, Wanda found herself even more infatuated with Mike.

She didn’t want to be apart for a moment.

Seeing Mike get up, the girl quickly tidied herself from her amorous state and conjured a red battle suit.

A jeweled circlet on her forehead gathered her dark red hair.

She exuded a capable yet queenly aura.

“Are you sure you want to come along?” Mike turned and asked again.

Although the previous battle had only lasted about half an hour, it had been very intense.

Most importantly, it was Wanda’s first time.

Normally, she should be in great need of rest right now.

“Of course,” Wanda was no longer a little girl and naturally understood the meaning in Mike’s words.

A hint of a happy smile appeared on the girl’s face at the man’s concern. She said, “I’ve never felt so good.”

Well, one could only say she was indeed Wanda.

Even for her first time, she adapted quickly and even had energy left over.

And now, dressed like a queen, yet with a lingering captivating expression on her face, the contrast was truly striking.

It couldn’t help but give Mike some more ideas.

“How about we go again…”

“…”

“Don’t take it off, just the queen…”

“…”

Mike admitted he was a common man, only wanting to enjoy the moment.

As for Stephen, waiting a little longer shouldn’t be a problem.

Another half an hour passed, and Jane, standing on the lawn in the suburbs of Norway, enduring the cold wind, finally couldn’t help but ask Stephen again, “Are you sure Guardian will come? Why don’t you call him again.”

Stephen had long since noticed Jane’s anxiety.

Hearing her urging, he remained silent for a moment before finally pulling out his phone again.

Just then, a unique pure white magical portal appeared on the Norwegian lawn.

Mike emerged from it, accompanied by Wanda.

“You’re finally here—” Stephen put away his phone, his tone carrying a hint of resentment.

“Yeah, I was held up by something just now…” Mike skipped over the awkward topic and asked, “Tell me about the situation here, what exactly happened?”

“Thor and Asgard might be in big trouble this time… Let Jane tell you the specifics, she’s practically involved.” As the intermediary, Stephen handed over the right to speak.

“Hello, Mr. Mike. I’m Jane, Thor’s girlfriend. He really needs your help right now…” After greeting him, Jane told Mike everything about Thor’s situation and his sister’s situation, without holding anything back.

Most of the information Jane had heard from Loki, and a small portion was based on speculation.

However, for Mike, it was enough.

Clearly, the sins committed by King Odin were finally affecting Asgard.

Hela’s rage, suppressed for thousands of years, wouldn’t be easily extinguished.

Which meant Asgard was indeed in big trouble this time.

“I mostly understand the situation. Next, I will go to Asgard to see what’s happening and try to ensure things don’t get worse.” Mike considered for a moment and gave his promise.

And even for personal reasons, he had to make the trip.

A battlefield was the best place to collect energy points.

Especially a war of this magnitude, between the Asgardian gods and Hela.

“Please take me with you, I want to help too.” Seeing Mike open the portal to Asgard, Jane, worried about her boyfriend, immediately walked over.

“You’ve thought this through, the Asgardian battlefield is very dangerous for you as you’re now…” Mike said seriously, “Even I cannot guarantee your absolute safety.”

Thousands of years had passed, and Hela’s strength was no less than that of King Odin.

Dealing with such a powerful being would not be easy for Mike.

If the opponent had helpers, the situation would only become more complicated.

In a true emergency, Mike’s first priority would undoubtedly be to protect Wanda, who was his own.

As for Jane, her priority was not as high for Mike.

Considering this, Mike needed to make the situation clear to her first.

“It’s okay, for Thor and Asgard, I’m willing to take the risk!” With a heart full of guilt, Jane’s expression gradually became resolute.

Suddenly, a large amount of red magical energy erupted from the woman’s body.

Its color was very similar to Wanda’s Chaos Power.

These magical energies, after appearing, slowly gathered in Jane’s hand, beginning to repair the fragments of Mjolnir in her hand.

[Reality Manipulation (Trait)]… [Break Through Physical Limits (Trait)]… [Reality Stone * Energy + 200M]… “The Reality Stone? I didn’t expect it to be activated at this moment…” Mike exclaimed, looking at the scene before him.

To fight cancer, Jane had once been infused with the Aether, which was the power of the Reality Stone.

Mike had known this for a long time.

He just hadn’t expected this hidden, powerful force to be activated by Jane…
