‘Swish!’

A shallow black shadow rapidly passed from bottom to top, approaching Thor in the air, nearly reaching him at a height of a hundred meters.

Thor, already alert, instinctively raised his hammer. However, a hand quickly pressed against the handle, ignoring the sparks of electricity splashing above, preventing his next attack.

At this moment, Thor finally recognized the person, showing surprise, “Kyle?”

“I told you to go easy.” Kyle shrugged helplessly as he spoke, his dark wings gently flapping downward. One hand pressed against Thor’s hammer, while the other held an open palm.

With the force field’s traction abilities fully activated, the metal shards that scattered in all directions, not yet ten meters away, were irresistibly pulled back as if by an invisible long thread, converging neatly towards the center of Kyle’s palm.

In less than three seconds, Kyle had an additional round ball in his hand, composed of high-quality metal fragments, about the size of a basketball. The message transformed into a card.

[Top-Grade Uru]: Uru metal refined multiple times. Rare Blue Item Card.

Derived from the original fine Uru metal, this top-grade metal product is achieved by compressing the metal density after multiple forging processes, eliminating internal impurities.

Uru is a special metal in Asgard, it is indestructible, with a melting point of 50,000K. It’s challenging to forge, but it has a high affinity with energy like divine power, perfectly amplifying and releasing divine power.

“Not bad. I just need to refine the impurities within the material.” Looking at the round ball’s excellent metallic texture and the hard sensation at his fingertips, Kyle nodded slightly satisfied, storing this rare Uru material produced in Asgard into the Card Space.

“Why do I feel like I’m working specifically for you?” Thor smirked as he retracted his hammer smoothly.

“In my hometown, there’s a saying: ‘Courtesy calls for reciprocity.’ I invite you for a drink, and it’s only right for you to give a little in return.”

Kyle clenched his fist, forcefully hammering Thor’s chest. The outer armor emitted a resonant humming sound, resembling the tolling of a bell.

Thor, suspended in the air like a mountain, exuded a thick and oppressive divine power. Even with the strength of several times that of a human, it couldn’t budge him in the slightest.

“Your strength has fully returned,” Kyle said indifferently.

“Of course. Without my powers, I couldn’t have accomplished what I’m about to do next. Anyway, thank you, Kyle.” Thor smiled heartily while holding the hammer and floating down towards Jane with his cape billowing.

“Is god-human romance the trend of the modern era? I am finding it harder and harder to understand, have I become an Old Man?.”

Kyle, revealing his true identity without the burden of disguise, stood quietly and aloof, not quite fitting in with the others.

Having obtained the essential materials for forging the Eternal Divine Weapon – Uru metal, this trip was considered worthwhile.

The Star Fragment ingot had been acquired on the black market of Planet Sakaar long ago. The Eternal Flame had been kept in the Card Space.

The remaining materials were the World Tree branches, the blood of ancient god races, and the need to find extraterrestrial dwarves specializing in forging Divine Weapons.

Oh yes, Thor’s brother, Loki, had a wand that seemed to be forged using World Tree branches…

When Kyle thought of this, Loki, far away in Asgard, holding the Divine Weapon wand and sitting on the golden throne in the main hall of the divine palace, shivered inexplicably.

“Uh… Carl.”

The voice of a girl from nearby brought Kyle back to reality. Following the sound, he saw the charming and lightly made-up Darcy. Her hands were nervously entwined, and she gazed at him with a slightly anxious expression.

Darcy suddenly chuckled self-deprecatingly, whispering, “Right. I should address you as Mr. Kyle.”

“Just call me Kyle.” Kyle looked at her, frowning. “Darcy, why are you acting so timid? This doesn’t seem like your usual self.”

Darcy froze, then relaxed a bit. Pouting, she straightforwardly said, “Who told you to lie? I was just too surprised— never really expected the legendary hero to be the one I want to confess my feelings to.”

Kyle was dumbfounded.

Darcy chuckled, and turned around abruptly, facing away from him. “You don’t need to respond. Anyway, I’ve said what I wanted to say, and I won’t take it back. I’ve spoken my heart, and this trip won’t leave me with any regrets.”

“Your life is still long.” Kyle chuckled, finding Darcy’s straightforward and natural manner refreshing.

After a moment of contemplation, Kyle said, “If you’re courageous enough to say what you did, how can I not respond?”

Darcy didn’t turn around, but her shoulders trembled slightly, revealing that she wasn’t as carefree as she appeared.

Looking up, Kyle gazed at the vast blue sky, his eyes extending to the stars at the edge of the horizon. In a meaningful tone, he said softly, “I’m sorry. The emotional part of myself belonging to an ordinary person, an iy was already claimed by a woman— a half-century ago.”

“You are exceptional, but unfortunately, it’s nearly seventy years too late.”

“I understand.” Darcy’s voice trembled, and the reason for rejection was too cruel. What could overcome the ravages of time and fill the void of several decades?

This was what they called ‘You were born after I was, and I aged while you were growing up.’

Kyle calmly said, “But we’re already friends. If you face any difficulties in the future, feel free to find me at the Empire State Building in New York.”

“Definitely, I will definitely do that!” Darcy said, her voice breaking. As she spoke, liquid-like pearls dropped onto the road, quickly evaporating under the scorching sunlight.

Kyle sighed in relief. He wasn’t used to dealing with women, unlike facing formidable enemies or engaging in purposeful actions like killing and arson.

Nevertheless, at this point, the matter in Mexico had been thoroughly concluded.

After Thor and Jane shared a moment, SHIELD agents arrived one after another. With Kyle present at the scene, everything was naturally resolved peacefully.

The turmoil in Asgard remained, and Thor dared not linger on Earth. He bid farewell to everyone and summoned the Bifrost on the barren plain beside the town as he was planning to return to Asgard with Sif and Warrior Three.

After shouting ‘Heimdall’ to the sky several times, Thor looked towards Kyle not far away and said in a deep voice, “Kyle, aren’t you coming back to Asgard with us?”

“No, thanks. There are still matters on Earth that need my attention. Besides, I trust you; you can definitely resolve the issues in Asgard yourself.”

Kyle teased, “Maybe the next time you come to Earth, you’ll be His Royal Highness, the King of Asgard.”

“Hopefully, everything goes as you say.”

Just as Thor finished speaking, a dazzling light suddenly lit up the sky above. Threads of light descended, creating a disordered feeling of spatial connection.

It was the prelude to the opening of the Bifrost!
