They couldn't bear to part with him; after all, a man like Zane, so handsome and powerful that he could single-handedly take on Frost Giants.
In martial Asgard, he was undoubtedly the most perfect spouse in every woman's heart.
Unfortunately, Zane had already given his heart away, even though some women in Asgard didn't mind sharing a husband with Lorna.
But Zane refused them without hesitation.
Zane's heart was vast, so vast that it couldn't be satisfied with the entire Earth.
Yet Zane's heart was also small, small enough that it was filled with only Lorna, leaving no room for anyone else...
In the private bedroom of the Ark, Zane and Lorna, a bedroom separate from the Ark, where not even the Internet could enter without Zane's permission.
Lorna nestled in Zane's arms, unconsciously sliding her fingertips across Zane's chest, making Zane's heart itch.
Zane thought Lorna was inviting him to war, after all, Lorna had been following Frigga, the goddess, for over a month.
As they say, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and what you can't have becomes even more desirable...
But just as Zane's hand was about to become naughty, Lorna leaned close to Zane's ear and exhaled a warm breath, causing Zane's body to tingle.
In a daze, Zane didn't notice that Lorna's hand had already moved slowly downwards to his most sensitive spot.
"Darling..." Lorna's tone was so gentle, as if she were constantly plucking at Zane's heartstrings like a spring breeze.
"Mmm..." Zane closed his eyes and made a contented sound.
"Those women earlier seemed to look at you strangely, saying, have you done anything to upset me in the past half-month?"
... .... ....
Lorna's emotions suddenly took a turn for the worse as she spoke to Zane with a fierce tone.
As she spoke, she lightly grabbed Zane's sensitive area, indicating that she held his 'happiness' for the rest of his life in her hands.
Confession brings leniency, resistance brings severity!
"There's absolutely nothing, darling. I only love you."
Facing this situation, Zane remained calm and looked into Lorna's eyes with affectionate tenderness in his own.
Seeing Zane's unwavering gaze, Lorna's heart fluttered, almost giving her away, but she gritted her teeth to maintain her 'fierce' appearance for the upcoming effect.
"I don't believe you!"
"What do you want me to do to make you believe me?"
"Hehe, let me check if your ammunition is sufficient!"
With that, Lorna wildly uncovered Zane's defenses and buried her head...
Zane was stunned, damn, who knew this was possible!
666...
Then he enjoyed Lorna's tenderness.
In this fierce battle, there was darkness all around, with no light from the sun or moon, and water splashed everywhere.
Even Lorna used newly learned magic to transform into various special uniforms.
Princess dresses, teacher uniforms, stewardess uniforms, and so on...
Letting Zane enjoy a great deal, secretly thinking that learning this magic was worth it!
The next day, Zane walked into the cockpit of the Ark with a radiant glow, while Lorna...
She was still sleeping in the bedroom, this young man had no sense of moderation.
Seeing Zane's appearance, Skynet asked:
"Boss, where are we going next?"
Zane pondered for a moment, a mysterious smile playing on his face.
"We're going..."
"We're going to Xandar!"
"Alright, boss."
Knowing the destination, Skynet immediately began the spatial jump according to the star map of Asgard.
Now the importance of the star map was evident.
If they were to travel at the speed of light alone, it would take hundreds of years for the Ark to reach Xandar.
But with the spatial jump points recorded in the star map, the Ark could reach Xandar in just a few days.
It still took several days or even half of the time to travel from one spatial jump point to another.
And Xandar was the civilization despised by the antagonist Ronan in "Guardians of the Galaxy".
Zane's purpose this time was quite obvious, to obtain the Power Stone in the Orb.
His [Magic Furnace] still had eight empty slots.
Zane didn't want to miss out on the Power Stone, a powerful weapon.
Considering the timeline, it was about the beginning of the "Guardians of the Galaxy" plot.
Star-Lord should have brought the Orb back from that abandoned planet by now.
Now going back to that abandoned planet would probably lead to a near miss with the Orb.
It was better to wait on Xandar.
(Please don't mind the timeline too much, some adjustments were made for the sake of the plot, but it doesn't affect the storyline.)
After two days of boring sailing, a vibrant planet appeared ahead of the Ark.
After breaking through the atmosphere of Xandar, the Ark received a message from Xandar.
"Unknown spacecraft, please follow the guidance to the spaceport."
"Repeat, please follow the guidance to the spaceport."
Skynet turned to Zane, asking for his decision.
Zane nodded, indicating for Skynet to follow the guiding spacecraft.
He didn't want trouble now. Xandar was Zane's first visit to an extraterrestrial civilization, and it was quite meaningful.
Zane was quite interested in exploring here.
And when the Xandarian Starfleet Headquarters saw that the Ark was acting as expected and not showing any hostility, they breathed a sigh of relief.
They could tell that the Ark, with its menacing appearance, was not to be trifled with.
And the Xandarians, who already had a radical faction of the Kree as their enemies, didn't want to provoke another tough adversary at this time.
"Commander, how should we treat the people on this spacecraft in the future?" asked a chubby man who looked similar to a human from Earth.
The female commander, eyes fixed on the huge and menacing Ark, glanced at the terrifying energy reactions displayed on the instruments, pondered for a moment, and said:
"Ignore them, proceed as usual, no surveillance, no probing, let's hope they mean no harm to Xandar!"
"But if they do something outrageous on Xandar, don't show any mercy!"
"Understood, Commander!"
After the Ark docked, Zane and his crew faced a dilemma when they encountered a sweet-looking Xandarian girl asking for docking fees.
Fresh out of Asgard, Zane didn't have the Credits she wanted.
No wonder Odin, that old trickster, had such a radiant smile on his face when Zane left. Apparently, there was still this waiting for Zane.
