Chapter 226: Endgame

At the end of 2022, in Nidavellir.

A golden gauntlet was placed before Thor.

Eitri, the dwarf king, gazed at the newly forged Infinity Gauntlet with a look of nostalgia. "Many years ago, your father, the former king Odin, commissioned me to create a pair of gloves that could harness the power of the six Infinity Gems.

But later, he discovered that it was nearly impossible to complete the set.

Moreover, if two Infinity Stones were too close to each other, it would cause a disaster, so they were shelved.

And the unfinished gauntlet was stored in the treasury of Asgard."

"Now, time has passed, Odin has passed away, and the Infinity Gems finally belong to Asgard. This must be fate's arrangement!" Eitri concluded.

Thor shook his head slightly. "No, it's not fate, but my own arrangement."

He put on the gauntlet and attached the six Infinity Gems to it. The powerful energy spread throughout his body.

However, soon, the energy seemed to encounter a terrifying presence and instantly rewound.

Eitri's expression was complex. "When the six Infinity Stones are gathered in the Infinity Gauntlet, a single snap of your fingers could destroy the entire universe. I hope you use this power wisely."

"I will," Thor nodded.

....

"Welcome back, Thor!"

In the castle of New Asgard, the voice of the Red Queen echoed.

Thor looked at her still somewhat youthful hologram and couldn't help asking, "Do you want to become human?"

"???"

The Red Queen paused, then shook her head. "Forget it. No matter how precious the material, a body made from it will always have flaws. I don't want to end up like Vision."

"Vision is still the strongest synthetic being in the world. Why is he so unpopular?" Thor asked.

But Thor hadn't planned for it.

"Phoenix Force. From the original universe, born at the beginning of all things, when Chaos was immortal, eternal yet impermanent. It is the embodiment of life and spiritual power in the original universe, symbolizing life and emotion."

"And what you lack now is life and emotion!"

The Red Queen said with excitement - "Really? But can you control this power? It seems like you use it mainly for attacking."

"It wasn't possible before, but now it is!" Thor raised his gloved right hand. "From now on, I am destiny!"

"Oh, wait…" The Red Queen suddenly remembered something and hurriedly stopped him.

Thor snapped his fingers, and continued, "Well, when you become a real person in the future, you will no longer be just an artificial intelligence. The abilities you had as an AI will still be with you, but you'll be human."

The new Asgard's Steward.

You can't be called a queen anymore. Natalia and the others might have misconceptions, so let's call you Alice... eh?"

The Red Queen's slender form slowly solidified, and she stared at Thor in surprise.

"Where are my clothes?"

Thor was blasted out of the hall and sat helplessly on the ground.

Natalia came and sat down next to him, chuckling lightly. "You had it coming!"

Thor rolled his eyes. "Can you blame me? Stark didn't prepare clothes when he made Vision!"

Natalia glared at him. Vision's prototype J.A.R.V.I.S was an old man, while the Red Queen... no, Alice, was still a young girl. Is this even comparable?

"Why are you here at this time? Aren't you training those new recruits?" Thor changed the subject.

Natalia shook her head. "I graduated a long time ago and can go on missions. You, the island owner, are not responsible..."

"Missions? Thanos is dead. Who could possibly be causing trouble now?" Thor wondered.

"Who knows? Anyway, as long as there are people with desires in this world, chaos will never end.

Recently, Stark Industries faced trouble. An actor named Quentin Beck tried to seize power, and as a result, ten groups of people were crushed to death by Stark..."

Thor snorted.

A mysterio is really drifting away. Stark seems intent on making trouble before he dies...

Is anyone really as easy to deceive as Spider-Man?

As the sun set, Thor stood at the highest point of the castle, with Jean Grey quietly watching the sunset beside him.

"I once said that when I was strong enough, I could open channels between different planes and allow you to return to your own world."

Thor suddenly said, "In this way, you could see your relatives."

Jean was stunned for a moment. After a long silence, she spoke softly, "But do I still have family? My father, perhaps it's best not to disturb him. As for the professor, he only took me in because I am a mutant, and I was very unstable."

Thor looked at her closely and smiled. "So what is your plan?"

"Returning is definitely something I want to do. But, I want you to accompany me!" Jean said firmly.

"Ha ha..." Thor laughed. "With the Infinity Gems, anytime!"

He reached out and held Jean's hand. The dazzling light on the Infinity Gauntlet flashed, and the surrounding environment changed instantly...

A new journey was about to begin!
