Chapter 309: Eternity

Half an hour later, in the meeting room arranged by Valkyrie.

"...That's the general situation."

Jack finished explaining their identities, relationships, and purposes in one breath. His mouth felt dry, so he grabbed the cup in front of him and drank it down.

Hmm~ It wasn't tea, it was alcohol.

Very Asgardian.

Thor sat on the couch with his legs crossed and looked relaxed. Stormbreaker was right next to him.

"So, you two are here for your honeymoon?"

Thor held a large goblet in his hand and took a big sip. Ah, the taste of Asgard.

With a strange expression, he kept shifting his gaze between Jack and Wanda. After a while, he said

"This feels a bit strange, like when I met my mother. More specifically, it was my mother from another world—the same person yet not the same. Honestly, my brain is starting to get confused."

He pressed his temple to force himself not to think about those things.

"I have a question."

Just then, Jane spoke up.

"You mentioned earlier that you came to borrow Stormbreaker. May I ask what you want to do with it?"

Hearing this, Valkyrie, who had been in the background, nodded in agreement. She was also interested.

Stormbreaker was no ordinary artifact. If it fell into the wrong hands, just by unleashing the Bifrost, it could easily destroy a planet.

"You don't need to be so worried, really."

Sensing the two women's guards, Jack chuckled and shook his head.

"I want to borrow Stormbreaker just to meet someone. Actually, compared to me, you should be more excited to see him."

"Who? Why would I want to see him... burp"

Thor grumbled in a low voice, and then he belched.

Jane, who was standing next to him, glared at him with irritation because he smelled strongly of alcohol.

"Because that person can give you everything you care about back."

Jack's lips were curled up, and his words were tempting.

"Your brother, your mother, your father, and even the Asgardians who died because of Ragnarok. Isn't that tempting?"

Crack!!

As soon as the words fell, Thor's glass shattered in his hand. He widened his eyes, the sadness on his face vanishing instantly. He looked at Jack with a piercing gaze.

"Who do you want to see?"

"I believe you already have the answer in your heart, don't you?"

"..."

Thor didn't say anything and just looked at Jack, as if he were trying to find the answer in his face.

Jane looked like she didn't know what was going on. On the other hand, Valkyrie looked thoughtful and turned to Jack.

"You're looking for... Eternity, right?"

"Obviously, isn't it?"

Jack shrugged.

"I need to see him for something, and Stormbreaker, or rather, the Bifrost, is the only key to reach the realm where he lives."

"From what I've heard, the first person to meet him gets to make a wish. Do you think eternity can restore everything you've lost?"

Thor went quiet and poured himself another drink on instinct. His eyes were full of confusion, which was a clear sign that his personal conflicts had not passed away.

Jane was worried as she looked at him in this state. She wanted to support him and cheer him up, but she didn't know how.

To be honest, when she heard that Eternity could grant someone a wish, she was tempted. It would be a lie to refuse.

But she immediately thought of Thor. He had lost so much—his parents, family, brother, and even his home. Compared to her, he needed this wish more.

She knew that once Thor learned about her cancer, he would definitely wish for her to be cured. But she couldn't let him do that. Thor deserved a better life.

Jane decided to keep it a secret, so she used her eyes to tell the Valkyrie that nothing had happened.

However, it wasn't just one person who knew about her cancer.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot. Jane also needs this wish."

When hearing his words, Jane instantly felt uneasy. Before she could stop herself from speaking, Jack blurted it out.

"After all, cancer is not a minor illness, and even Asgard cannot cure it..."

Jane closed her eyes immediately because she was getting a headache.

She took a quick look at Thor, who was standing next to her. As expected, he was frozen in shock, his brain stopped working because of the news.

Thor finally understood why Jane was in the hospital at first, why she could wield Mjolnir, and why Valkyrie always seemed hesitant to speak.

He had once cast a spell on Mjolnir to protect Jane, allowing her to wield it because she needed protection.

He looked at Jane and knew it was true just by the way she looked, even though she didn't say a word.

He didn't blame Jane for not telling him, nor did he blame Valkyrie for keeping it from him.

He simply turned to Jack with determination and asked, "What do you plan to do?"

...

At the center of the universe, although it was far from Vormir, the planet with the soul stone.

To get to this place, you would have to go through a huge field of comets, which would keep ninety-nine percent of people out.

But if they had the Bifrost, it would save them a lot of trouble.

A rainbow stream of light came to this quiet place that had been without life for billions of years, and the light fell on the ground.

When the light vanished, Jack and his friends could be seen.

"It's strange. We can actually breathe here? I thought it would be a vacuum."

Jane, the astrophysicist, was amazed by what she was seeing. She couldn't believe she could breathe in this place that looked like it was full of space.

"Eternity is here?"

Thor looked around, feeling that this place didn't seem like where Eternity would live.

"Don't judge something by how it looks."

Jack smiled and pointed not far away.

Thor and Jane looked over and saw pieces of rock coming together as if they had a consciousness of their own, putting themselves back together quickly to make pillars and a floor for a big hall.

"Wow!"

Wanda looked in astonishment at this scene and tugged at Jack's clothes.

"Hey Jack, are you able to do that?"

"It's not a big deal."

Jack smiled happily and was about to brag a little when Wanda said something that made him almost choke on his own saliva.

"Perfect, If we ever run out of money, we can work on building and selling houses. It will definitely sell well."

"..."

When the two of them spoke, a huge palace suddenly formed. On either side of the palace stood four half-body statues, and at the end, there was a huge, half-gold, half-black statue.

"Look, that's what I told you about—Eternity, one of the Embodiments of the Multiverse."

Jack pointed to the separate half-body statue at the other end of the palace, introducing it to Wanda.

"Wow... it looks really strange."
