Future Captain America came in a hurry and left just as quickly. Though he had plenty of time to stay in the present timeline, he felt no attachment or sense of belonging here.

This world needs only one Captain America.

With the philosophy of Superman’s avatar, Caesar, in mind, Captain America used the Pym Particle to leave the present timeline before dawn broke in Asgard, leaving Kyle with endless thoughts and a sense of urgency.

First, he lost the Aether, the Reality Stone that should have been his. Then Kyle learned the historical fact of the Avengers’ defeat in the future. How could Kyle continue his peaceful vacation?

“It seems I must intervene in Asgard’s affairs quickly. There are many plans on Earth that require further implementation.”

Before Kyle could fully gather his thoughts in his assigned palace in Asgard, someone knocked on the door.

“Who is it?” Despite feeling a familiar presence, Kyle calmly asked towards the door.

“Kyle, it’s me!” Thor’s voice was urgent as if he had something urgent to discuss.

“Come in.”

Kyle waved his hand toward the door, and with a gravitational pull, the door unlocked and opened. Thor, dressed in his armor, hurried in from the hallway and slammed the door shut behind him.

“If you are the guest, then I am the host. But first, let’s have a drink to calm down.”

With a slight flick of his finger, Kyle made a bottle of wine float up, pour itself into a glass, and then the glass, full of foam, flew toward Thor.

Thor didn’t hesitate and grabbed the glass and downed it in one gulp. He then slammed it down on the table with such force that the glass nearly shattered.

Kyle looked at Thor and said calmly, “Tell me. What’s so urgent that you had to find me so early in the morning?”

Thor’s face looked troubled. “Late last night, right after Mother’s funeral, Father ordered the guards to arrest Jane and put her in a secluded chamber in the palace. Father said that Jane has the Aether within her and that the Dark Elves are after the Aether.”

“He’s not wrong. At least the Aether cannot fall into the hands of the Dark Elves.”

Kyle nodded slightly. Odin and Thor didn’t yet know that the Aether no longer resided in Jane; instead, it had fallen into the hands of the treacherous Loki.

Of course, Kyle couldn’t reveal that just yet.

An indignant Thor said, “I wanted you to extract the Aether from Jane, but Father refused. I asked to go on the offensive and eliminate the Dark Elves, but he refused that as well.

“Thor, when you get old, you might make the same decision.”

Kyle smiled faintly. Human or god, the older one gets, the more one tends to lose the will to fight, to fear the loss of what one still has, and to live more and more conservatively.

The All-Father Odin was no exception.

If it had been a thousand years ago, or even a century ago, Kyle believed that Odin would have led the entire Asgardian army without hesitation, disregarding all concerns, and attacked the Dark Elves’ home planet directly, even if it meant mutual destruction, to uphold Asgard’s reputation.

But now, Odin had grown old, his heroic spirit diminished, his blood cooled, his fighting strength diminished, and his divine power drained.

So even when the Dark Elves attacked Asgard and the Queen was killed, Odin did not dare to make a desperate offensive move for the sake of Asgard’s overall situation.

Odin wasn’t wrong; he was exactly what Thor would become when he grew old.

“No, even if I get old, I will never become such an old fool!”

Thor snorted coldly and lifted his head slightly, his golden hair shining, resembling an angry, majestic lion.

“So, since King Odin refused your request, what are you here for? What do you intend to do?”

Kyle looked at Thor with piercing eyes and spoke meaningfully.

Thor took a deep breath and declared, “I want to get Jane out of Asgard. Not only that, I want to go to the Dark Elf realm to avenge my mother’s death!”

This statement meant that Thor intended to defy Odin’s orders, teetering on the edge of treason against Asgard.

However, Thor’s bold idea was perfectly in line with what Kyle had been thinking.

Defending Asgard passively, waiting for the Dark Elves to strike, was a waste of time.

Instead of defending, it was better to go on the offensive and wipe out the Dark Elves. This was the simplest and clearest solution.

“But my power alone is far from enough, so I need your help, Kyle!”

Thor looked at Kyle with sincere eyes, anxiously awaiting his answer. Without Kyle’s power, he feared that he wouldn’t even be able to get Jane out of Asgard.

“Thor, you’re asking me to risk betraying Asgard!” Kyle chuckled.

“Yes, I know.” Thor clenched his fists and promised, “As long as you help me this time, whatever you need in the future, just ask, and I will do it!”

“You said it.” Kyle’s eyes brightened.

“Yes, I said it!”

Looking at the determined Thor, Kyle exhaled slightly and spread his hands, “All right. I was never loyal to the Asgard, so there’s no question of treason. Now tell me your plan.”

“That’s great!”

Thor was overjoyed. After clearing his throat, he began to explain his plan, “I intend to…”

Half an hour later.

In the main hall of the palace.

Odin entered the hall with his staff. Before he could sit on the throne, a guard rushed in from outside, his face filled with urgency as he loudly reported:

“My King, Prince Thor has broken into the depths of the palace, forcibly taken the human woman, and is escaping in a Dark Elf spaceship that we confiscated. They’re heading for the Bifrost!”

“Hmm?”

Odin’s eyebrows furrowed, and he gripped his staff tightly with his left hand. Without much thought, he angrily commanded, “Quickly! Notify Protector Kyle and have him stop Thor’s spaceship! Do not let him leave Asgard!”

“My king,” The guard almost cried as he continued, “The protector is also on that spaceship!”

“What did you say?!” Odin could no longer contain his rage. He slammed his staff down, making a loud, thudding noise that silenced the reporting guard.

Outside the golden palace.

A T-shaped black craft was speeding away. Inside the ship, Vision was hooked up to the cockpit, piloting it remotely.

Thor and Jane sat in the back, holding hands. Kyle, sitting in the front, turned to Thor and asked helplessly, “So, your plan… was this?”

“Not bad, right?” Thor showed no awareness of the flaws in his plan.

This wasn’t much of a plan; it was more of a headlong rush.

Kyle shook his head. Just then, the ship began to shake violently, and Vision’s urgent voice came through, “Master, the Asgard defense system has been activated. They are trying to shoot the ship down!”

“Father is angry.”

Thor muttered to himself, holding Jane’s soft hand with his left and the Mjolnir that Future Steve had secretly returned with his right. His eyes grew more determined, “There’s no turning back now!”
