Chapter 104: Ancient One's Warning

"You are of Kryptonian blood, born extraordinary. On Earth, the golden sun will grant you remarkable powers, just like your cousin.

"However, you need to learn how to adapt and use this power. Otherwise, you'll never truly become Superman. Just like General Zod, who once rebelled on Krypton but was ultimately defeated by Kal-El."

In the quiet afternoon, Thor guided Karla hand in hand through the yard.

In terms of potential, besides Thor, who has a system, Karla is definitely the strongest in this world. She could certainly become the Superman of the Marvel universe.

The problem is, her fighting ability is nowhere near that of a true superhero. Although their abilities are theoretically similar, her actual strength falls far short.

Looking at her performance in the original plot, Thor felt embarrassed. Her upper limit was higher than Wanda's, but her lower limit was worse than Star-Lord's...

That said, Wanda's whereabouts remain unknown, and Thor has given up on searching for her. He'll wait until she becomes the real Scarlet Witch before trying to find her again... Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

For now, the focus is on nurturing Supergirl Karla. The year is now 2019, and the plot involving the invincible Hulk is approaching. It would be highly beneficial if she could interact with Hulk during that time.

By the time the battle in New York occurs a few years later, the 16-year-old will become a key combatant.

"What? You're still a child?

In Asgard, a three-year-old can defeat a bear!"

If the superheroes from other worlds knew that the "safe and sound childhood" Thor referred to was the Asgardian version, they'd be outraged and might even come to confront him in this world.

Thor didn't wait for news from Hulk; instead, he awaited an unexpected visitor.

"Bald-headed Socceror... I mean, Master Ancient One, what brings you here?"

The corner of the Ancient One's mouth twitched. "The Sanctum Sanctorum in New York is less than 30 kilometers from your home. A few days ago, I sensed beings from other dimensions appearing near your home. It might not have been my imagination."

The Ancient One glanced at Karla, who was standing nearby.

Thor didn't deny it. "Yes, regardless of her past or where she came from, she is my sister now."

Thor spoke with conviction.

As far as he knew, the Ancient One devoted her life to protecting Earth and preventing invasions from other dimensions.

Though Thor is considered a half-traveler, he is a genuine native of the Marvel universe in both body and soul, so there should be no issue. As for the System, the Ancient One might not be able to detect it.

But Karla is different. Perhaps in the eyes of the Ancient One, she resembles Dormammu.

The Ancient One understood Thor's concern and shook her head with a faint smile. "Don't worry, I mean no harm. I'm not the old-fashioned type. This girl has a righteous heart and noble character; she shouldn't cause any harm to this world."

However, if it weren't for Thor, the Ancient One would have at least guided Karla to Kamar-Taj...

Thor nodded slightly. "You are indeed not rigid. Otherwise, you wouldn't use the power of the Dark Dimension."

"You actually know about this?" the Ancient One said, surprised.

"Don't worry, I won't say anything," Thor smiled.

The Ancient One understood that Thor was warning her—if she truly endangered Karla, Thor would reveal this secret to everyone on Earth...

Shaking her head with a wry smile, she said, "Actually, I'm not here for her. I'm here about your brother—Loki."

...

Thor frowned. He hadn't seen his troublesome brother for decades. "What's wrong with him? Well, he's not really my brother."

The Sorcerer Supreme, an Asgardian, must have some bad news about Loki. So, let's address it now...

The Ancient One's expression suddenly became serious. "Your brother is very dangerous. He poses a significant threat to this world. I'm not suited to interfere with Asgard's affairs, so I sincerely hope you will take this seriously!"

The Ancient One's tone was more serious than ever.

Seeing that Thor was skeptical, she added, "Don't doubt me. I can see the future of everyone except you!"

Thor shook his head dismissively. "Don't worry, I already knew. There will be no problem."

His greatest asset is not the unreliable system but his familiarity with and control over the plot.

"If that's the case, then I'm relieved."

With that, the Ancient One stopped insisting and quietly departed.
