Chapter: 175

"Thor!" Mark looked at the tall man standing in front of him with surprise. It was Thor, a member of the Avengers whom he hadn't seen for over a year since their parting in New York.

Mark, who had been undergoing psychological therapy throughout the year, quickly recalled the timeline of the Marvel Universe.

At this moment, after Thor returned the Space Stone to Asgard, the Bifrost, which had been destroyed by Thor, had been repaired. That's why he was able to come to Earth smoothly to seek Mark's help.

Otherwise, even with the power of Odin, the King of Gods, it would be impossible for him to endure the energy consumption of traveling between the two realms in a short period of time.

"On November 11, 2013, the Convergence, Aether particles, Dark Elves, and Jane Foster. It seems that Thor is here to discuss an issue regarding Jane, a problem that even Asgard's technology and Odin's wisdom couldn't solve. He must think highly of me to seek my assistance."

With a little thought, Mark immediately understood the situation. Thor's concerned expression indicated that he was probably here about his girlfriend.

"Since you think highly of me and have come to me for help, I won't stand by and do nothing. However, I can't guarantee to solve a problem that even the power of Asgard is incapable of resolving."

Mark didn't refuse Thor's request and promptly agreed. On one hand, it was because of their relationship and friendship, and on the other hand, it was an excellent opportunity to have contact with the Aether particles, or the Reality Stone, for research purposes.

Upon hearing Mark's immediate agreement, Thor excitedly embraced him, squeezing him so tightly that Mark felt a bit deformed.

Fortunately, Mark's body had undergone two virus enhancements and was protected by nanobots, so he didn't end up disabled from the enthusiastic embrace.

Mark didn't hesitate to knee Thor in the stomach, forcefully separating the two.

"Really, you almost choked me to death! It's a good thing I have many means to save my life; otherwise, I would end up disabled despite helping you!" Mark said, not in the best of spirits, as he looked at Thor innocently clutching his stomach.

"Hahaha, my apologies, Mark. I forgot that Earthlings don't have such sturdy bodies. This is how I usually embrace my brothers and comrades."

After listening to Mark's words, Thor smiled sheepishly and apologized. However, for some reason, upon hearing Thor's words, Mark felt even more inclined to hit him in the stomach again.

"Mark, you are the smartest person I have ever met, bar none. Even my father, with his thousands of years of accumulated experience, may be wiser and more knowledgeable, but when it comes to intelligence, I believe he can't compare to you.

So I trust that you can help me solve this problem.

Since you've already agreed, let's see what preparations we need to make. I'll also brief you on the situation. Later, you'll accompany me back to Asgard."

"Oh! Go to Asgard?" Mark didn't expect Thor to bring him an unexpected joy. Initially, Mark only wanted to have some contact with the Aether particles within Jane Foster's body and collect some research data.

He didn't anticipate that Thor had already taken Jane to Asgard for treatment and now wanted to bring him along as well. It was truly fantastic news.

To know that Asgard can be said to be the birthplace of runic script, being able to personally go to Asgard and witness it would greatly benefit Mark's research on runic technology.

Not to mention, with Mark's current pair of eyes, it would definitely bring him a wealth of information and become nourishment for his continued progress in his research journey.

Later, Thor briefly explained to Mark the tricky problem he encountered, which was roughly the same as Mark's speculation. It involved the convergence of the Nine Realms and the appearance of anomalies in the interconnected nodes of the Nine Realms.

As an astrophysicist, Jane naturally wasted no time in investigating and researching this phenomenon. Unexpectedly, she crossed through the anomaly in space and became a host for the long-lost Aether particles.

Thor, who had been keeping an eye on Jane in Asgard, hurriedly came to Earth upon hearing from Heimdall that Jane was in danger and brought her back to Asgard for treatment.

The result they discovered was that the Aether particles within Jane continuously consumed the host's life force, growing stronger themselves. Even Asgard, including the mighty Odin, was powerless against it.

Thus, Thor, who had no other choice, had a brilliant idea and thought of seeking help from Mark on Earth. He had witnessed Mark's intelligence and wit during the Battle of New York, so he descended to Earth and found Mark to seek assistance.

Considering Jane Foster's current condition, Mark quickly made some preparations and brought along some conveniently portable tools to better address the issues at hand.

In addition, Mark had Baymax upload an intelligent duplicate to the core of his nanobots within his body so that even after leaving Earth's information network, he could still receive assistance from Baymax.

With the preparations complete, Mark followed Thor to the location where he descended in Los Angeles, where he could still see the runic symbols on the ground, symbols that Mark was very familiar with.

Then Thor looked up and greeted the sky, and a rainbow beam of light descended, enveloping Thor and Mark within it.

A few seconds later, as the Bifrost disappeared, Mark and Thor on the ground also vanished, leaving only a deepened runic symbol imprint, indicating their presence in that location.

Enveloped by the powerful energy of the Bifrost, Mark felt himself being reduced to a quantum state, with his own mass approaching zero. His mind and body were highly fused and unified, truly becoming one.

In this quantum state, Mark's brain and body were fully liberated. His central nervous system began continuously receiving and processing massive amounts of information vision, without relying on the assistance of nanobots.

The information Mark obtained through analysis and processing informed him that the energy channel they were passing through was a massive dark energy construct driven by the Bifrost, constructing a quantum tunnel between Earth and Asgard.

Within this quantum tunnel, in their quantum state, they could move at speeds surpassing that of light, allowing them to be rapidly transported to distant Asgard in a short period of time.

Soon, Mark sensed that the energy maintaining the entire quantum channel was gradually weakening, and the part of the tunnel they had already passed through began to collapse and converge, gradually sealing itself.

Finally, the quantum state of Mark and Thor became highly unstable, and they transformed from a pile of quantum information back into solid entities. At this point, they had arrived at their destination for this journey, Asgard.
