(Big Chapter. Almost 1800 Words)
Inside the palace hall of the Aesir Palace.
“Your Majesty, Guardian Kyle has already chosen a divine tool in the treasury. Right now, Prince Thor is escorting him towards the direction of Bifrost,” Fieldre respectfully knelt on one knee and reported to Odin on his throne.
“What did he choose?” Odin, with his one eye slightly squinted, asked in a deep voice.
“He chose the Eternal Flame, Your Majesty. He took the Eternal Flame with him,” Fieldre replied cautiously.
“What? That human dared to choose the Eternal Flame and intends to take it out of the realm!?” Loki exclaimed in surprise.
Before Odin could respond, Loki, who was still present in the hall, had a drastic change in his complexion. His breathing became rapid as he said, “Father, the Eternal Flame is…”
“I know,” Odin gently shook his head, his voice low and filled with meaning. He said, “I’ve said that he can choose anything he likes from the treasury. Since he has chosen the Eternal Flame, then so be it.”
“Yes,” Loki bowed his head, an expression of reluctance on his face.
Eternal Flame was a crucial item for the future of Asgard, closely tied to the onset of Ragnarok, and it had been handed over to an outsider so easily.
Meanwhile, at the Bifrost gateway in Asgard.
*Clang!*
Thor, holding Mjolnir in one hand and Kyle’s arm in the other, flew out from the Aesir Palace, landing firmly at the end of the Bifrost.
Kyle was still holding the golden brazier, which contained no fuel, yet the flames burned brightly within it, flickering relentlessly.
“Kyle, I’ve brought you here. There are still some minor disputes at the edge of the Nine Realms that require my attention,” Thor said earnestly as he looked at Kyle. His gaze fell on the Eternal Flame in Kyle’s hand, and he remarked, “I never expected that in the blink of an eye, you would become the second Guardian of our realm.”
“I didn’t expect it either,” Kyle shrugged and gave a faint smile.
“You must miss your homeland a lot. I won’t delay your journey any longer. My father has often mentioned the name ‘Earth,’ though he called it Midgard” Thor chuckled and scratched his head. He added, “If I have the chance when I’m free, I’ll definitely visit you on Earth.”
“No problem. When that time comes, I’ll be sure to host you well. Once you get to know Earth, you might not want to return to Asgard,” Kyle teased and waved as he walked into the rainbow-hued hall, saying, “Goodbye for now.”
“Farewell!” Thor’s resounding farewell echoed from behind, but Kyle didn’t turn around. He walked directly into the rainbow-hued hall.
Heimdall, who had been guarding the Bifrost, stood tall on the platform, opening his eyes and gazing down at Kyle.
“Heimdall, now that I’m a Guardian, I should have the authority to use the Bifrost, right?” Kyle met Heimdall’s gaze calmly and asked in an even tone.
Heimdall nodded and, compared to before, his attitude was slightly more relaxed. With a composed and powerful tone, he replied, “Of course, as fellow Guardians, you have the authorization to use the Bifrost to travel to any known peaceful location in the Nine Realms!”
He paused briefly before continuing, “If you’re outside and want to enter Asgard, simply call out my name. My eyes can see any place in the Nine Realms. As long as I see you, I can activate the Bifrost to bring you here.”
“Great, I want to return to Earth immediately!” Kyle snapped his fingers lightly, his heart and mind filled with excitement.
“Take a few steps forward.”
Following Heimdall’s guidance, Kyle moved to the inner wall of the hall, aligning himself with the portal device of the rainbow hall.
Kyle traversed through the Bifrost, and the view of the starry expanse within his sight became chaotic. The dazzling stars were all fading away into the distance.
The ambiguous feeling of crossing the cosmic space disappeared. Kyle, who had left the realm of the gods, descended onto a desolate land.
“Earth, I’m back!” Kyle exclaimed, unable to contain his excitement, even though he hadn’t yet examined his surroundings.
However, the sound he tried to make by shouting into the sky couldn’t even be heard by himself. Soon, he keenly noticed that something was amiss in the environment around him.
The barren, gray-white ground stretched as far as the eye could see, pockmarked with circular craters. There was no sign of life in this vast expanse, and above him, there was only the boundless starry sky.
Most importantly, there was no air, no sound…
‘Vacuum of Space?’ Realizing this, Kyle furrowed his brow slightly. He first withdrew the Eternal Flame he was holding into a card and then summoned Venom. In a symbiotic, fully covered state, they formed an integrated combat suit.
Vis transformed into an earpiece, enclosed by the Venom suit, and now its voice could finally be heard clearly in Kyle’s ears.
“Master, the soil here is rich in elements such as silicon, aluminum, potassium, barium, hafnium, and rare earth elements. There is no detected water source, atmosphere, or food supply within a few miles. It is preliminarily determined to be an unsuitable environment for human lifeforms, excluding it from being Earth.”
“I certainly know this isn’t Earth. What in the world happened with Heimdall? Did he really get the location wrong?” Kyle’s face grew slightly cold as he surveyed the desolate surroundings. In this vacuum, he couldn’t call out to Heimdall to get him back to Asgard.
The silver-white terrain where he stood had the runic circle of the Bifrost branded on it, and there were faint traces of sparks emitting a bluish smoke.
Kyle attempted to take a step, and his body felt light as if it could bounce with minimal force. However, his Advanced-evolved divine body quickly adapted to the harsh environment within a short period of time.
He sprinted several kilometers across the monotonous and barren landscape, passing numerous craters and remnants of various probing instruments.
“If I’m not mistaken, this should be…”
Kyle mumbled to himself as he circled around to the other side of the celestial body he was on. When he saw a familiar blue planet in the dark expanse of the starry sky ahead, he finally revealed a relieved smile.
Sure enough, he was on the Moon.
Heimdall had indeed sent him to the wrong place, but the error wasn’t so great that it was unacceptable— at least he hadn’t been sent to another realm.
Kyle sighed and began to wander aimlessly on the lunar surface. No matter how he had imagined it before, he never thought that one day he would be able to stroll alone on the Moon without the need for any auxiliary equipment.
There was no sign of life on the Moon’s surface. It was covered in craters of various sizes caused by meteorite impacts, and there were irregular scars that appeared to be from other energy sources…
Guided by Vis, Kyle walked for about two kilometers in a certain direction and discovered a spacecraft that had landed on the Moon.
Kyle was somewhat surprised as he carefully examined the highly technological spaceship.
It was approximately eight meters high with a radius of about fifteen meters. The outer shell was coated with a special silver-white material, supported only by the extended high-pressure mechanical legs. It looked like a huge metallic creature lying on the ground.
The spaceship also bore the emblem of the United States flag.
Clearly, this was not the level of aerospace technology that should have existed during the time he left Earth. When Kyle left Earth, it was shortly after World War II in 1945, and the concepts of aerospace technology were just beginning to take shape—
Even if Earth’s technology had experienced explosive growth, it still required time to accumulate.
“How many years have passed on Earth?” Kyle fell into silence. His biggest concern when venturing into outer space had been seeking a cure for his genetic condition. But now, everything had changed when he returned.
Regardless, he had still fulfilled the promises of those years and returned safely!
Understanding his master’s concerns, Vis offered a suggestion, “Master, do you need me to attempt a stronger infiltration of this American spaceship’s operating system? With the damaged Starfighter, it could barely serve as your means of returning home.”
“Is robbing someone else’s property something I would do?” Kyle coughed lightly and said earnestly, “Can you directly infiltrate the system of this spaceship? What’s the probability of success?”
Vis quickly provided an assessment, “Considering that I have never encountered the current technological systems, mechanical structures, and information communication levels on Earth, based on the preliminary calculations from the known database, there is an eighty-nine percent chance of success in attempting to forcibly infiltrate the ship’s system for remote control. There is a nine percent chance of being detected by the opponent’s remote system. There is a two percent chance of infiltration failure, which would reveal your location.”
“In that case, let’s forget it. I haven’t figured out the situation on Earth yet. If we get discovered, then…”
Kyle was in the midst of discussing whether or not to ‘rob’ the spaceship with Vis, when suddenly, the door beneath the spaceship opened, and a white man in a bulky spacesuit descended. He carried reconnaissance equipment and intended to proceed with his usual collection and exploration tasks.
“Oh my God!” The astronaut looked up and saw Kyle standing on the ground in front of him, and he was instantly dumbfounded, his expression resembling someone who had just seen a ghost.
“Since I’ve been spotted, there’s no other choice.”
Kyle smiled faintly, then, with a burst of speed, he rushed to the astronaut, knocking him out cleanly. Venom extended tendrils of its black liquid, wrapping around the astronaut’s body as if he were merchandise, and forcefully threw him into the cabin.
At the same time, Vis transformed into a mechanical lifeform, detaching itself from the Venom suit and jumping into the spaceship. It began an internal invasion, taking control of the ship from within.
The entire process of hijacking the Spaceship was executed seamlessly by the three of them, it was as if they had rehearsed it countless times.
