Seeing the colorful beam not far away, Malekith's face darkened.
There was no need to guess—Asgard had sent someone!
Sure enough, as the light faded, a muscular figure holding a silver hammer appeared before them.
"Thor!"
Hawkeye and the others were overjoyed.
Thor nodded, then turned to face Malekith and the other Dark Elves in the distance, saying in a deep voice, "Malekith, leave Earth with your people. You're not welcome here!"
"As long as you hand over the Aether, we will leave," Malekith replied.
Before Tony and the others could ask Thor what the Aether was, Thor instinctively refused, "That won't happen. The Aether is in my brother's hands now. It doesn't belong to you; it belongs to my brother."
The moment those words left his mouth, Malekith and the other Dark Elves were stunned.
Brother?
Malekith was no stranger to the Asgardian before him—he knew this guy was Odin's son.
"Your brother, that Loki fellow?"
"The Aether is with him?" Malekith asked in surprise.
"No, it's with my other brother." Thor said proudly, "I suggest you leave while you can. With my brother's strength, there's no way you can take the Aether from him. Spare yourself the embarrassment."
Upon hearing this, Malekith felt relieved.
Finally, he knew where the Aether was.
He then looked at Thor strangely, as if watching a joke unfold.
The other Dark Elves shared his sentiment, amused by Thor's words.
This son of Odin was actually advising them to leave? Claiming that with his brother's strength, they wouldn't be able to take the Aether?
Spare themselves embarrassment? How laughable…
They thought that this Asgardian must be an idiot.
With their gathered army, even if the Allfather Odin were here, he might have to think twice—let alone this so-called brother of Thor's! If that brother showed up, they would teach him a lesson immediately, make him fear them, and obediently hand over the Aether!
But who exactly was this brother Thor was talking about?
While Malekith and the Dark Elves were trying to figure out who this "other brother" was, Tony Stark, Captain America, and the others had some guesses.
The next second, Captain America asked in surprise, "Thor, are you talking about the White-Clad Hero?"
From what they knew, other than Loki, the only person suspected to be Thor's brother was that mysterious White-Clad Hero…
Sure enough, under everyone's gaze, Thor nodded.
Seeing him nod, Tony Stark and the others were stunned.
The next second, they looked at Malekith with peculiar expressions.
Some civilian superheroes, along with some onlookers in the distance, began whispering among themselves.
"Are these aliens crazy, picking a fight with the White-Clad Hero?"
"They still want to take something from him?"
"Oh my God, I thought I misheard..."
Hearing the distant murmurs of the humans, Malekith and the other Dark Elves were taken aback.
What were these weak humans saying? They dared utter such words? With such a massive army, how could they fail to take something from one person? These ignorant, weak humans surely didn't think that the Dark Elves were as weak as they were, did they?
Ridiculous!
Even more absurd was the idea that a single individual could stand against their entire army.
Malekith found it laughable, and so did the other Dark Elves.
Casting a glance at Thor, Malekith decided to ignore him and called out, "The one carrying the Aether, I know you're nearby!"
Tony and the others were stunned.
The White-Clad Hero was nearby?
Just as they were thinking this, the sound of footsteps suddenly echoed.
What?
Everyone, including Malekith, turned to look.
Besides those present, Nick Fury and others at S.H.I.E.L.D., as well as Odin, Heimdall, and others silently observing from Asgard, all noticed the scene.
A figure in white slowly emerged from the shadows in the distance.
Tony and the others recognized the figure.
"It really is the White-Clad Hero?"
"An Omega-level mutant?"
At that moment, whether it was Tony, other superheroes, or Nick Fury and his team, they were all shocked.
This matter was indeed related to the White-Clad Hero, and he was actually nearby?
In Asgard, within the throne room.
Using Odin's power, an image appeared in the palace, reflecting the scene near Thor.
At this moment, Odin, sitting on the throne, looked at the figure in white with complex emotions, while Frigga's eyes were filled with hope.
Unfortunately, since it was just an image and the distance was too great, they couldn't sense the presence, divine bloodline, or divine power of the figure.
These things could only be verified when the person appeared before them in the flesh.
For now, all they could do was watch.
Despite this, Frigga felt a tinge of concern.
"That child..."
With so many Dark Elves, and Malekith himself present, could the child really handle it?
Odin noticed her concern and gave her a reassuring look, signaling that he would intervene if the child were in danger.
Under the eyes of many, Syd slowly walked out.
Seeing his figure, Malekith and the Dark Elves in the distance looked surprised.
"Are you Thor's brother, the White-Clad Hero?"
Malekith stared sharply at the figure before him, his voice cold, "Asgardian, hand over the Aether!"
"If you don't, you won't like the consequences!"
Malekith waved his hand.
In the next second, the warships in the sky and the Dark Elves raised their energy guns, aiming straight at Syd.
Seeing this, Syd remained calm, silently watching.
Though he showed no response, the others were alarmed.
If these guys attacked, wouldn't the entire ground be ripped apart?
Seeing that the figure in white had no intention of handing over the Aether, Malekith's expression turned cold.
"Eliminate him!"
With those words, the air filled with the roar of weapons.
Boom boom boom...
Red energy blasts and laser beams were fired at Syd.
Seeing this, Tony and the others were startled.
