Chapter 208: Passerby

The Ancient One is truly a difficult figure.

When Odin retired to Earth, she was undoubtedly aware of it and harbored deep reservations.

Despite Odin's advanced age, he remains one of the most formidable beings in the universe, capable of destroying planets with a mere misstep.

Fortunately, he has been respectful and hasn't caused her trouble. In fact, he has been supportive and hasn't made things difficult for her, which has given her some relief. For example, during this event, she had been lurking in the shadows for a long time without revealing herself.

Clearly, the Ancient One did not arrive with Odin. For some reason, she arrived earlier...

Previously, while Odin's old punch was powerful, it wasn't a major concern since he had obviously held back. However, it was a different story when Odin wielded Gungnir. If he were to strike, a quarter of North America would sink...

Odin halted, seemingly waiting for the Ancient One to appear.

He glanced back and inquired, "Thor , is he in there?"

Though he was asking about the Ancient One, his tone was more assertive than inquiring.

The Ancient One did not respond verbally but tacitly acknowledged his question.

Odin continued, "Is this... Choas Magic Power? Is it related to Thor?"

The Ancient One hesitated before admitting, "A young girl cannot handle this kind of power alone. His Majesty Thor is assisting her inside. If you destroy it forcefully now, it will undoubtedly be in vain."

Odin nodded.

Humans are not as naturally gifted as Asgardians, and they often struggle to control sudden bursts of power due to their weaker bodies.

"If that's the case, then I'll leave it be."

Odin turned and walked away, leaving the Ancient One in astonishment.

Even she, facing the potential chaos that could erupt at any moment, needed to exercise caution. So why was Odin so unconcerned?

From a distance, Odin's voice was heard: "He is the best of us."

The Ancient One - taken aback - showed a clear expression.

After watching Odin's retreating figure for a moment, she turned to look somewhere within the barrier with a complex expression.

"He is also the best of us."

Wanda opened her eyes to find the world around her had reset, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing Thor still holding her, a hint of discomfort crossed her face.

However, she was overwhelmed with Chaos power and still felt weak. After a brief struggle, she closed her eyes once more.

She had passed out and was unaware of everything!

Thor:

Your fluttering eyelashes have betrayed you, you know?

It is indeed thrilling to have a beautiful girl unconscious in his arms, but Thor was not so tasteless as to take advantage...

Heart or Nuts? That is the question.

Normally, under such circumstances, the brainless villain would lose his nuts, and the hero would show up at the last moment to ruin the situation...

Thor, however, chose to be careful. A smart man would definitely escort the girl home in a gentlemanly manner and avoid any mess, even if it meant pretending to close his eyes while changing the girl's clothes.

Thor held the princess, picked up Wanda, and walked towards the door.

Just as he had taken a few steps, someone stopped him...

"Who are you? Do we know each other?"

Thor looked at the man in front of him with suspicion.

Wearing a black suit, a long black wool trench coat, and a dark blue scarf, the man was tall and slender with short curly hair and eyes that sparkled with wisdom.

Hmm? Why does this man seem so familiar?

But Thor was not in the mood for casual encounters in this surreal scenario, so he attempted to sidestep the man.

Yet, the man in the trench coat stopped him again.

Thor: "Why? Do you want to fight?"

His tone remained domineering, causing Wanda in his arms to nearly laugh out loud.

Thor's imposing physique and strong muscles were quite intimidating, comparable to someone like Dwayne Johnson.

However, the man in the trench coat was not daunted. He said in a serious tone, "You should put this lady down!"

Thor: "???"

Who does this guy think he is? It's none of your business if I'm taking the girl home.

The man in the trench coat continued, "I was seated at the table next to yours. Judging by your behavior, it is clear that you are not a couple. Moreover, the lady appeared dizzy multiple times without any signs of intoxication, and you were about to take her away. Can you explain what's happening?"

Thor: "..."

A busybody?

And why are passersby in your trench coat so observant?

Thor couldn't help but laugh: "Who are you, with such a keen sense?"

The man in the trench coat responded casually, "I am a criminal investigation consultant from England, Sherlock Holmes."
