Chapter 71: 71. White Thread Tsunami Destroys the Starship! (Please subscribe! Please give monthly votes!)
"Fire! Starship, open fire!"
Thanos was continuously pushed back by Eustass. His Cleaver was destroyed and sent flying. He gritted his teeth and roared.
Above the sky.
The massive Starship, like a giant beast spreading its wings, covered the sky. Numerous star cannons aimed at the ground, and under Thanos's command, they ignored their own people on the surface and frantically fired energy beams.
Azure energy beams continuously blasted the ground, creating numerous large craters. People from both sides were blown away, suffering heavy casualties, and smoke and dust rose everywhere.
Thanos, in order to use the Starship to blast Eustassaway and save himself, completely disregarded the lives of his own people.
Even the Troop Transport Creature had its body pierced, breaking into two sections, wailing as it fell.
The Sanctum mages quickly pointed their hands at the sky, casting spells to shield everyone from the heavy energy cannons as much as possible.
Eustass sensed the Starship's energy cannons rapidly approaching him. He raised a leg, Armament Hakiwrapped around it, and directly kicked Thanos in the face.
The energy cannons arrived in an instant. Eustass quickly raised both hands, releasing Armament Haki to form a barrier in front of him.
"Boom—!"
Eustass was pushed back a long distance. Thanos picked up his broken Cleaver and ran.
Eustass gave chase, and Thanos quickly ordered the Starship to focus fire on Eustass.
In the original plot, Thanos was almost killed by Scarlet Witch, but he survived by using this very tactic.
The strongest Witch on the surface or a pirate powerhouse clashing with a Starship?
Holy crab, don't make intergalactic jokes!
In the distance.
The Starship's energy cannons directly destroyed the great dike, and surging floodwaters swept towards the battlefield.
Dr. Strange, the best slacker on the field, stood before the flood, casting a spell to roll up the floodwaters, turning them into a water tornado that flew towards the sky.
"Ahhh, I can't handle it, hey, help!"
On the other side, Little Spider, wearing his nano spider suit, activated his ultimate mode and confidently dealt with the alien army's monsters. However, in no time, he was almost surrounded by a mountain of monsters.
Because the Infinity Stones were in his hand... "Kid from Queens, catch!"
Rogers, holding Thor's mjolnir, blasted the alien monsters. He swung mjolnir and threw it directly at Little Spider.
Peter hugged the gauntlet, protecting the Infinity Stones, and quickly jumped up, shooting a web line that wrapped around Mjolnir, flying away with it.
Eustass, Moonwalking towards the distance, glanced back at the hammer catching up, with a Dutch Spiderdangling behind it like a kite.
"Boom!"
An energy beam descended, directly severing the web line Little Spider had wrapped around Mjolnir.
Eustass reached out and grabbed the adorable Dutch Spider, while with his other hand, he shot out a web line, wrapping it around Mjolnir.
"Oh, cool!"
Peter exclaimed, his nano headpiece's goggles widening.
"Be careful."
Eustass said, then threw Peter out. Pepper, flying by in her nano armor, quickly caught Peter.
"Whoa whoa whoa, he's so cool! Is he another Spider-Man?"
Peter quickly asked Pepper.
"You'll have to ask him that."
Pepper said, then directly threw Peter out. Valkyrie, the Asgardian Valkyrie flying by on a Pegasus, grabbed Peter.
Peter looked back at Eustass, his eyes filled with adoration.
When he revived and returned to the battlefield, the first thing he saw was that majestic figure using threads to beat Thanos.
In Little Spider's eyes, that person was an idol.
Eustass quickly flew away with Mjolnir. He looked back and felt Little Spider's adoration.
Just like the Little Spider in his own timeline, who adored him greatly.
Eustass sighed. He was never a good person, yet he always received the adoration of the characters he liked most.
However, speaking of which, he hadn't had a good chat with Little Peter in his own World for a long time.
Eustass followed Mjolnir, flying towards Thanos's location.
Countless energy cannons blasted over, directly severing the thread he had wrapped around the hammer, and concentrated fire on him.
Eustass fell, used Razor, and his body shot out, transforming into a sharp arc, bypassing the energy cannons, and quickly descending to the ground.
At this moment, the energy cannons on the Starship all turned their directions, blasting into the dark clouds in the sky.
Eustass didn't care about any of that; he had long wanted to dismantle this wretched thing.
He slammed his hands on the ground, and the ground assimilated into countless white threads, like a white thread tsunami, rising with Eustass as he Moonwalked, rushing towards the Starship.
The white thread tsunami intertwined with each other, like numerous white pythons entangled together, baring their fangs and hissing as they swarmed and surged towards the sky.
On the Starship.
Half of the energy cannons blasted at the white thread tsunami below, which resembled a sea of snakes. Continuous cannon fire caused the white threads to constantly collapse, scattering white threads everywhere, with blue energy ripples splashing around.
The other half of the energy cannons were aimed at the dark, oppressive clouds, as if attacking some terrifying enemy.
Within the dark clouds, a faint light appeared, then the light gradually intensified. A dazzling orange light burst out of the clouds, trailing a comet-like tail, and rapidly collided with the Starship.
Captain Marvel, Carol, crashed directly into the Starshipfrom above, penetrating numerous internal metal structures, causing a series of explosions as she flew towards the bottom.
The countless white thread tsunamis assimilated by Eustass, imbued with Haki, surged upwards, breaking through the Starship's surface. Numerous white snake-like Thread Pillars drilled into the Starship, wildly destroying its interior along with Eustass.
Explosions continuously rocked the Starship, with fire erupting and flashing non-stop. Everyone on the field was stunned.
Captain Marvel, trailing a radiant comet tail, burst out from the bottom. She hovered in the air, looking at Eustass and the white thread tsunami emerging from the top of the Starship.
The massive Starship was completely destroyed, slowly crashing and falling into the large lake below.
In the distance, Thanos roared incessantly. He never expected that the enemy would still have a chance to destroy his Starship.
The Starship's massive body fell onto the large lake, flames burning fiercely, and black smoke drifted across the sky. In front of this behemoth, people were as tiny as grains of sand in a sea of sand.
Eustass stood atop the Starship's wreckage, looking down at Thanos in the distance.
"Clang—!"
Eustass reached behind him, drew the magic longswordOdin had given him, and swung it fiercely.
A gale swept through, and the flames on the Starshipwreckage rose with the wind, sparks drifting.
Eustass swept his sword, and a long gash was instantly cut into the Starship's surface.
Wind and flames raged. The tall figure stood at the highest point of the battlefield, holding his sword and looking down disdainfully at Thanos. The shouts of the people on the battlefield echoed to the heavens, as the Superheroes led countless armies in a counterattack against the alien forces.
Thanos's little toy is gone; it's time to chop off the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit's head!
Chapter 72 – Slicing an Arm Off the Purple Sweet Potato Spirit! Pirate World Portal! (Please Subscribe!)
Carol flew in the sky, glancing at Eustass not far away.
Eustass held a sword, looking down.
On the ground, a battered Little Spider Peter clutched the Nano Infinity Gauntlet and wiped the blood from his face.
Carol descended slowly and landed.
Little Spider stared in despair at the alien legion charging toward them; he'd been fleeing with the Nano Infinity Gauntlet, constantly surrounded and attacked, and the pressure was crushing.
"Don't worry."
Carol took the gauntlet; Scarlet Witch and the Asgardian Valkyrie landed behind Little Spider.
Okoye, Captain of the Wakanda royal guard, stood nearby with a Vibranium spear, glaring ahead.
"Your backup is here."
Pepper dropped in nano armor, palms aimed forward, light flooding her hands.
The Wasp reverted to normal size and appeared; Gamoraand Nebula walked up.
High above, Eustass glanced at Little Spider's side, the corner of his mouth twitching.
The real strongest girl squad ever!
Little Spider followed the super-heroines and charged the alien legion.
A vast shadow loomed over the battlefield; heroes and aliens alike looked up, the enemy ranks panicking.
Eustass assimilated the starship beneath his feet into a sky-covering tsunami of white threads and slammed it into the alien legion.
Eustass landed, hands trembling.
Assimilating the huge vessel gave him endless threads, but drained every ounce of stamina.
"Buddy, you okay?"
Captain America hurried over and shielded him.
"Hungry..."
Eustass felt like Luffy—he could devour a mountain of food.
"Huh?"
Cap froze.
He'd never seen anyone crave a meal mid-battle... "Hey pal, that stunt of yours was spectacular."
Stark exclaimed.
Cap looked ahead.
The heroines who'd charged forward now sprinted back, while alien Taxi Soldiers and monsters fled the other way.
With Eustass spent, the white-thread tsunami lost control and crashed down—whoever stood beneath was doomed.
It was like a starship slamming onto a crowd.
"RUMBLE—!"
The roar shook the battlefield; dust storms swept out. A quarter of the alien legion was crushed; many more lay buried, and only half survived.
The earth trembled, hearts quaked.
As Eustass knelt panting, a system voice sounded beside his ear.
[host defeated 40,000 of Thanos's troops!]
[Reward: Pirate World Portal!]
[Pirate World Portal charge: 1/10!]
Stark flew back from the ruined Base, hauling a huge bag of desserts, and handed it over.
Eustass peeked inside—every kind of sweet and high-calorie snack imaginable.
"Don't get the wrong idea—I just can't afford to lose our best fighter."
Stark shoved the box at him. "Take it—enough sugar to give you diabetes."
Eustass grinned; Stark was all talk.
He tore the bag open, tipped his head back, and poured the sweets straight into his mouth.
Rogers, Stark, Banner stared, wanting to stop him.
Anyone else would have choked long ago.
Yet Eustass gulped the entire bag, cheeks bulging; after two token chews he swallowed.
The returning heroines were stunned.
Stark's chocolate box was huge—half would stuff any sweet-lover.
Eustass finished it in one go.
His belly swelled slightly; an instant later Life Returnconverted the chocolate into nutrients.
"Hoo—"
Sword in hand, Eustass glared at distant Thanos; muscles bulged as he used Soru and vanished in a whirl of dust.
He gripped the sword in both hands; Conqueror's Hakicloaked the blade like black lightning. Racing across the field, he carved through every enemy in his path.
"Aaaargh!"
"Charge!"
"Attack!"
The Avengers followed close behind, weapons raised, plunging into the fray.
Thanos lifted his broken cleaver; Eustass flashed to his side and slashed.
"Clang... screech!"
Metal screamed; the cleaver snapped, and Eustass's sword smashed into Thanos.
Thanos was hurled away. He rose, only for Eustass to appear on the other side, blade raised, its cold glint mirrored in his grim face—then it fell.
Another wound; Thanos was sent flying again.
Pepper and Stark in nano armor swooped in, palms up; twin energy beams blasted Thanos skyward. Scarlet Witch followed, crimson energy hurling two boulders that slammed into him.
"Boom—boom!"
The impacts knocked Thanos straight toward Eustass.
Using Moonwalk, Eustass met him mid-air; a flash of cold light, and one of Thanos's arms spun away.
Thor flew in with his battle-axe and swung.
Crashed to the ground, Thanos endured the agony, sprang up, caught Thor's wrist, kicked, and sent him flying.
Rogers sprinted in; Thanos seized him, kicked him down, and with his remaining arm punched Rogers's head, knocking the invincible Fifty-Fifty Captain out cold.
As Thanos moved to finish the cheat-level Captain, Eustass descended with Moonwalk and slashed.
Thanos twisted aside; sensing it, Eustass altered the blade's path and hacked down.
Another arm flew off and thudded to the ground.
Clenching in pain, Thanos roared; Eustass kicked his knee, Conqueror's and Armament Haki shattering the joint.
Thanos collapsed screaming. Eustass seized his head, raised his gleaming sword; sunlight broke through the clouds, the blade shining brilliantly.

"Heh-heh-heh, you people are ridiculous, you—"
Thanos sneered at Eustass, his head gripped in the latter's hand.
The next instant—
A cold flash fell.
Eustass beheaded Thanos on the spot.
"So much crap. Hah—ptui!"
Eustass tossed Thanos's head aside and spat on the corpse.
He knew what Thanos was going to say—something about rebuilding a beautiful Universe filled only with gratitude—but he figured the Titan's brain had short-circuited.
Life isn't arithmetic.
[host has defeated Thanos Sa-Nuo-Si!]
[Reward obtained: Big Mom's Strength Talent!]
[Pirate World portal charge: 2/10!]
Eustass's face lit up—Big Mom's strength talent. If he kept training, he'd definitely surpass her; after all, Big Mom spent her life either eating or chasing men, rarely ever working out.
If Big Mom had been even half as diligent as Zoro, the whole storyline would've collapsed.
Eustass clenched his fists, itching for a fight.
Remembering there was still a Purple Sweet Potato Spirit back home he could farm, he felt a lot better.
Eustass glanced back at the crowd; the remaining alien soldiers stumbled backward in terror.
"Rumble-rumble—!"
Above, black clouds surged and thunder rolled.
The moment he beheaded Thanos, Eustass's Conqueror's Haki leapt forward with his state of mind.
The fearsome aura stirred the clouds; the alien stragglers toppled like dominoes under its sweep.
Eustass planted his sword in the ground beside Thanos's corpse, gazing down disdainfully as enemies kept collapsing.
Just as Stark took the Nano Infinity Gauntlet from Carol, Eustass extended a thread and snatched it away.
He studied the gauntlet, then pulled off the Mind Stonehe'd brought from his own timeline.
Stark could be annoying, but he didn't want to attend the man's funeral.
"What do we do with these guys?"
Thor asked urgently.
"Simple."
Eustass plucked out the Power Stone, took a deep breath—if a loser could use it, so could he.
He clenched the stone and punched the ground.
Dark-purple energy raced across the earth, devouring the unconscious aliens and beasts; under his control they turned to ash and scattered on the wind.
Exhaling lightly, he snapped the stone back into place and walked off.
Everyone stood rooted, stunned by the sight—and that he could wield the Power Stone unharmed.
"He's so strong…"
Carol said, hovering in the air.
Little Spider gazed after Eustass in pure admiration.
The departing Eustass's mouth twitched.
Honestly, in the cinematic Universe plenty could beat Thanos—Scarlet Witch, Carol…
If Carol had gotten serious, Thanos wouldn't have lasted.
Chronic slacker.
Eustass strolled to a small lake and flopped down, staring at the sky.
There used to be a big lake here, but a starship's energy blast blew the dam, and Dr. Strange played with water for ages—turning it into this pond.
Strange is one hell of a water-bender when he lets loose.
[host has defeated 100 of Thanos's troops!]
[Reward: Stamina ×2!]
[host has defeated 100 of Thanos's troops!]
[Reward: Stamina ×2!]
The identical notifications echoed in his head—every single one stamina.
They stacked until his final boost reached—
[Stamina: 60×!]
Eustass fell silent.
Each increase multiplied the previous total; sixty-fold was already absurd.
Lying there, he figured even if Purple Sweet Potato Spiritwere alive, he could fight for months without getting tired.
Captain America: I can do this all day!
Eustass: I can do this for months!
Several days later.
Stark invited everyone to celebrate Thanos's defeat.
Deep into the night, the others were asleep.
Eustass slipped out—too pumped to sleep!
Hoisting a boulder, he sprinted through the night.
For days he either trained or chatted up the Avengers' ladies while waiting for Stark to fix the time machine.
Weeks passed.
Stark finished the quantum tunnel; Eustass learned how to use it, grabbed the Mind Stone and prepared to bail early.
"Hey pal, how about tomorrow?"
Stark watched him stand inside the machine.
"Hurry up, fire it already—I can't wait to get back!"
Eustass shouted.
"Look at you, like you pulled some huge prank."
Stark teased. "No parting words?"
"Better skip it."
Eustass shook his head, thinking: Vision's wife is really… mmm…
"All right—safe travels, buddy."
Stark set the precise coordinates and hit the switch.
Eustass vanished, returning to his own World.
"F***! Get out here!"
At that moment—
Scarlet energy blasted through the wall as the Scarlet Witch stormed in, searching furiously.
"Wow, exciting."
Stark stifled a laugh.
He knew exactly what had happened.
Over drinks Eustass had said he hated seeing pretty girls suffer, so he'd befriended the grieving Witch—
and spent the past nights "comforting" her.
Everyone could guess what that meant.
Then Eustass had suddenly split back to his own timeline.
No wonder the connected Scarlet Witch was furious.
"Send me after him!"
She flew up, glaring at Stark.
"Calm down—those parameters auto-deleted."
Stark said, secretly fiddling with the console.
"You're lying!"
Scarlet energy flared around her fists.
Stark wiped sweat; he had a hunch Eustass would run into a younger version of the Scarlet Witch back home—big Witch meets little Witch?
He prayed for Eustass… In the cinematic Universe.
New York.
Queens.
Moira Energy Group.
Helen Cho stared at the empty hangar, wondering where everyone had gone—
and in the next instant Eustass reappeared inside.
To the others he'd been gone only a second; in his Worldthe Battle of New York was still raging.
Chapter 74 – A Deathly-Silent Space Fortress! Setting Off a Giant Firework in the Starry Sky! (Please Subscribe!)
"Where on Earth did you go? Where are the others?"
Helen Cho hurried over, looked Eustass up and down, and stared at him in bewilderment—how had he changed clothes in the blink of an eye?
"We'll talk later—let's end this war first."
With that, Eustass strode outside. "Oh, right—here, take this."
He handed her a miniature aircraft.
Helen Cho: "???"
"A friend's tech—it can shrink things."
Ant-Man had miniaturized the plane so it wouldn't smash through the roof when it resized; Eustass had simply pocketed it and brought it back.
So thoughtful!
Eustass dashed out, leapt through the window; nano material surged from his nano core, wrapping him in nano armor. Jets of flame blasted him toward Manhattan.
Manhattan.
Hawkeye stood atop a skyscraper; he slapped his quiver—empty, not a single arrow left.
He yanked an arrow from a fallen Chitauri, snapped on a grappling head, drew, and vaulted off the roof.
Chitauri skimmers streaked past. Hawkeye fell, bowstring taut; the arrow bit into a wall, line unspooling, and he swung between towers, crashed through glass into another building.
Hulk stood on a rooftop, swatting Chitauri soldiers aside, then took a barrage of energy beams.
Dozens of Chitauri skimmers poured from behind a tower, locking onto Hulk; the dense fire swallowed him whole.
Asgardian Skiffs weaved between buildings, battling Chitauri; reinforcements kept arriving via the Bifrost Bridge.
But the Chitauri also streamed through the portal, flooding Earth with legions. The two sides clashed in brutal chaos.
Odin now slumbered; unless Earth faced true doom, he would not wake.
S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarrier.
Nick Fury sprinted across the deck with a Rocketlauncher; the council had secretly ordered pilots to take off with a Nuclear Missile bound for Manhattan.
Fury reached the deck, aimed, and fired.
The Rocket streaked out and blew one jet apart.
A second fighter shot from the side, racing toward New York and vanishing into the clouds.
Fury cursed—"Mother—!"—and scrambled to contact Stark and Eustass… New York.
Eustass streaked into Manhattan, hovered above Stark Tower, and looked down on the Chitauri swarm. Conqueror's Haki exploded across the battlefield.
Black clouds rolled overhead, swallowing the sky, shadows cloaking midtown.
Under the wave of Haki, countless Chitauri troopers and skimmer pilots blacked out and plummeted, slamming into rooftops.
As the Haki spread, more and more legionnaires collapsed; aerial units spiraled down, ground troops crumpled.
Eustass gazed upon the fallen Chitauri until none remained standing.
He lifted his eyes, reined in his Haki, then sent it surging skyward.
Through the portal, newly emerged Chitauri and bio-transports instantly lost consciousness and fell.
The Haki crossed the portal into the dark void; drifting Chitauri skiffs and troopers floated lifeless in space.
Still the Haki pushed deeper; more and more Chitaurilegionnaires drifted unconscious among the stars.
Chitauri Space Fortress.
The Chitauri high command panicked and tried to flee.
The Haki swept through; every crewman aboard the fortress blacked out, the entire station going dark and silent.
In that dark sector of space, only deathly stillness remained… Earth.
Eustass stared up at the portal above. The war was over.
Dr. Selvig, slumped despairingly on the rooftop, gaped at him in shock.
Though Eustass had precisely controlled his Conqueror's Haki to spare allies,
the terrifying pressure still radiated from him.
Tangible and overwhelming, it stunned everyone present.
"Wow, you're seriously cocky—flashy, cool, and crazy-awesome."
Stark quipped over the comm. "So what was that—some kind of magnetic field trick?"
Ignoring the tease, Eustass released nano material from his core; it formed the Mind Stone scepter, the gem clicking into place.
Ready to shut the portal at any moment.
"Big trouble! A fighter with a Nuclear Missile is heading straight for you!"
Over the channel,
Fury shouted.
Eustass simply nodded, armored up, and rocketed toward the incoming threat.
Moments later,
he met Stark mid-air.
"Go shut the portal—stall it for me."
Eustass said; he planned to use the nuke to obliterate the Chitauri Space Fortress.
There was a reward… "I'm on it!"
Stark answered at once. "You're still a kid!"
"I trust only you."
With that, Stark took the scepter, gratitude in his eyes.
They refused unmanned armor because deep space had no signal; only a piloted suit could guide the missile to the fortress… Eustass gunned his thrusters, blasted a beam at the retreating fighter, and blew it apart.
He spun back, caught the missile, and hugged it toward Manhattan.
The wrecked fighter crashed into the sea.
Eustass never looked back.
Anyone willing to fire a nuke into a crowded city had to accept the consequences.
On the streets, exhausted heroes and Asgardian warriors looked skyward.
Armored, Eustass streaked past with the missile; nearing Stark Tower, he banked sharply and shot up toward the portal.
"Stark, if I blow this thing before the thirty-second timer ends, it won't go off, right? They say it's safe if it doesn't detonate."
Eustass joked over the comm.
"Damn it, don't you dare mess around!"
Stark yelled.
"I'm not messing around—just setting off a big firework!"
With that, he hugged the nuke and dove through the portal, aimed it, and darted back toward Earth.
He didn't need to watch; the System Reward tone would tell him if it worked.
He didn't need to watch; the System Reward tone would tell him if it worked.
Chapter 75: S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team Robbed! Dutch-Spider Loses and Gains a Fan! (Fifth Update – Please Subscribe!)
Eustass sprinted toward the portal while the Chitauri Space Fortress behind him detonated; a soundless fireball bloomed, swallowing the fortress and racing toward him.
Earth.
Stark stood atop the tower clutching the Mind Stone, craning his neck to watch the portal.
No matter how the others urged, he wouldn't shut the gate until Eustass returned.
Only when a figure burst through did he stab the Mind Stone into the device's energy shield, shutting it down.
The beam snapped shut; the sky-portal shrank and vanished.
Eustass shot out just as the closing gate sealed the explosion away.
With the last dribble of nano core power he plunged downward; Stark rocketed over, caught him, and flew them safely down.
Eustass: "???"
He'd been waiting for his wife Helen Cho in her armor to come fetch him home!
Holy crab!
Stark landed and let go.
"Don't get the wrong idea—I just didn't want to see you splatter into ketchup…"
Stark shrugged.
Eustass gave a wry smile; tsundere Ni-ni, heart and mouth at odds.
[host destroyed one Chitauri Space Fortress!]
[Reward: Pirate World portal charge +2!]
[Pirate World portal charge: 4/10!]
Eustass clenched his fists in triumph—fantastic.
Only six-tenths left before he could hop Worlds for another brawl.
Beating Luffy to a pulp and thrashing Kaido—right around the corner!
"Look how happy you are—haha!"
Thor slapped Eustass's shoulder.
"I watched my own fireworks bloom—best feeling ever."
Pity it was the silent version…
"Hahaha!"
Everyone burst out laughing.
"How about some Arabian Grill?"
Stark suggested. "There's a place two blocks away."
"I want Skewers…"
Eustass said, mouth watering.
"Then Skewers it is—I'll drag the grill-master over so we can have both in the Arabian shop~"
Stark grinned.
A little later…
Inside the war-battered restaurant.
A summoned grill-man skewered meat non-stop; Eustassdevoured it, a mountain of metal sticks rising beside him.
The Arabian Grill-master grilled like mad but still couldn't keep up.
Stark idly torched a chair, shrugged as his own kebab was snatched away.
Thor handed his plate to Eustass—his most respected Midgard warrior.
Rogers was about to bite when whirlwind Eustasswhisked the meat off his plate and gulped it.
Thor propped his chin on one hand, staring at his empty dish.
Banner didn't care; he sat watching Natasha, who slid her plate-bottom to some brat while watching Banner.
Hawkeye was mortified—could those two just sit together? He was stuck between them… While Eustassvacuumed up food he watched the sparks fly—prime gossip.
Banner nodded at Natasha.
They seemed to reach an understanding—or maybe nothing at all.
The cook passed over meat pies; they glanced down.
Two blurs—plates stripped clean.
Eustass's cheeks bulged; he sensed a good show coming.
Battlefield camaraderie kindling something hotter.
"Uh-oh…"
Stark glanced at his phone, face darkening.
"What's wrong?"
Everyone looked over.
"While S.H.I.E.L.D. Strike Team escorted the Mind Stoneand Tesseract, Joker and traitor Sharon Carter ripped them off."
Nick Fury can't reach Captain, so he pinged me."
"Sorry—this suit doesn't hold phones well…"
Rogers said, mortified.
"Sure, but that outfit makes you America's Sweet Ass."
Stark teased.
"Don't look if you don't like it—nobody's forcing you!"
Rogers snapped.
"You guys up for another fight?"
Rogers asked the others.
"I'm beat—going home to the wife."
Eustass waved.
After the wife he still had to find Sif—busy guy~
Either on the way to a brawl or on the way to "brawl".
"I'm exhausted, body and soul…"
Banner declined—he already had plans with Natasha.
"Asgard needs me; we still have to try Loki."
Thor excused himself.
"Loki should stay caged on Earth!"
Rogers shouted.
"Sorry, Midgard has no jurisdiction over Asgardians."
With that Thor left.
"I… I've got stuff—bye."
Hawkeye missed his wife; he wanted to start making babies… Everyone bolted; Rogers looked at Stark and Eustass.
"I'm just the messenger~"
Stark chuckled and slipped away.
Rogers patted Eustass's shoulder, about to rally him.
Eustass scarfed the last meat pie, drank some water, and stood.
"Thanks for the grub, Captain—see ya!"
He zipped out and vanished.
Yeah right—his shadow rider thread clone snatched the Mind Stone and Tesseract; no way he'd help get them back… Queens.
Eustass home.
Eustass led Helen Cho upstairs toward their apartment.
He'd bought some wine—time to celebrate with the wife.
And later tonight, celebrate some more.
In the corridor Little Peter watched Battle of New Yorkclips on his phone.
Westerners do crazy stunts all the time.
Plenty love filming that stuff.
"Hey, Peter."
Eustass greeted.
"Hey, big bro Eustass—you were awesome!"
Peter looked up, eyes shining.
Eustass ruffled the Dutch-Spider kid's hair.
"So your idol Joker isn't cool anymore?"
he asked.
"He's not my idol—big bro Eustass is!"
Peter beamed up in sincere worship.
Eustass paused, pinched Little Peter's cheek, and walked off smiling.

One year later.
Queens.
The truck stopped downstairs.
Movers helped carry the furniture. Upstairs, in the Eustass Family home.
Eustass and Helen Cho sat at home, picking out some of their collected items to take with them when they moved.
Eustass and Helen Cho's new home was renovated, and they were moving today.
"Take this one, I love this book too much, this one must be taken, this one, this one, and this one..."
Helen Cho kept picking books, only to realize after she finished that she had picked all of them into the boxes.
"Then take them all."
Eustass smiled.
Light footsteps came from the hallway. Little Peter, wearing a small Thor cape and a nano armor toy mask, holding a Mjolnir merchandise toy, passed through the hallway.
He swung the hammer, making whooshing sounds, imagining himself at the Battle of New York, smashing Chitauri.
Passing by the Eustass Family's door, Peter heard the moving sounds and quickly looked over.
The door was open, and movers carried furniture out. Little Peter made way, then quickly peeked in.
Eustass was discussing the move with Helen Cho when a small head suddenly poked out from the doorway, blinking curiously at them.
"Are you moving away?" Little Peter asked with a pouted lip, looking reluctant.
"Are you moving away?" Little Peter asked with a pouted lip, looking reluctant.
"Just changing environments for a bit, after all, staying in one place gets boring."
Eustass walked over, squatted down, and ruffled Little Peter's head.
"Will you come back later?" Little Peter asked repeatedly.
"Of course. Oh, Halloween is coming soon, Peter, what gift do you want?"
Eustass asked, looking into Little Peter's eyes.
"Of course. Oh, Halloween is coming soon, Peter, what gift do you want?"
"There's still over a month, you know..." Peter grumbled.
"There's still over a month, you know..." Peter grumbled.
"Just asking in advance." Eustass smiled.
"Just asking in advance." Eustass smiled.
Afternoon.
All of Eustass and Helen Cho's furniture had been moved to 176A Bleecker Street, Manhattan, New York.
The two got out of the car, and Little Peter in the back seat quickly opened the door and ran out, looking at the detached building next to them; the entire building belonged to the Eustass Family.
"Wow, Eustass Gege, your house is so great."
Peter ran on the street, looking at the Eustass Family's detached house, then ran around.
Eustass put his arm around Helen Cho, standing at their doorstep, watching Peter run farther and farther, and quickly called out:
"Peter, don't run too far."
"Got it, I won't run too far!"
Peter said, then continued to run around.
Eustass glanced at the side of his house, where there should have been only a building in the same style as theirs.
A distorted space appeared between the two buildings, with a large amount of Mirror Dimension surrounding the unseen building, disguising everything.
Eustass also couldn't see the building disguised by the Mirror Dimension.
However, under his Observation Haki perception, he could still sense the existence of that building.
Soon after.
Eustass took Helen Cho into their new home. Peterstayed there for a while before Aunt Mei arrived and took him away.
Eustass sat at home, drinking tea and looking at the house next door.
Placing the teacup on the table, Eustass walked out of his house, ready to pay a visit to his neighbor.
But as soon as his body touched his car parked by the roadside, the car slowly tilted and floated up as if weightless.
Eustass watched this scene in surprise.
Passersby were also stunned.
Eustass's black SUV slowly tilted, gradually drifting towards the fire hydrant.
Eustass quickly reached out and pressed down on the car roof, pushing it back.
A sedan quickly swept past on the road, zipping away and disappearing from sight.
Eustass quickly released his Observation Haki, sensing the surrounding aura.
The result was quite unexpected: he actually sensed a faint, distinct aura from another World on the road.
The next instant.
On the road behind him, a burning car burst out from the space behind him. The car lost control and crashed towards a distant shop.
The burning car smashed through the shop's glass window, directly rushing inside, knocking over the interior decorations, and igniting them.
"Ahhh!"
The female shop assistant screamed and ran out of the shop in a panic, twisted her ankle, fell, and then scrambled away.
And the broken high heel from the shop assistant's shoe on the ground swayed slightly with a gust of wind, then floated up.
Eustass used his Observation Haki to perceive the surroundings.
Objects losing weight, Newton cursing, and also this
Eustass expanded the range of his Observation Haki, trying to sense the aura behind that strange door.
However, instead of calling it a door, it was more like a distorted and overlapping space.
Beyond the distorted and overlapping space was a Worldof fire.
Blazing flames burned fiercely, and an incredibly hot aura filled the heavens and earth. It seemed that in that place, there was no other theme besides fire and desolation.
'Muspelheim?'
Eustass thought to himself.
Muspelheim, one of the Marvel Nine Realms, the Fire Realm, the territory of the Fire Giant Surtur.
Eustass looked at the situation on the street; he knew what was going on.
The Nine Realms were converging, the Dark Elves were about to invade Asgard, and the Thor 2 storyline was about to unfold.
And the convergence of the Nine Realms led to such strange phenomena.
Eustass walked directly towards the invisible building at 177A next door, which was the New York Sanctum.
Inside the Sanctum.
The Sorcerer Ancient One guessed that Eustass would come and let him in directly.
The distorted space in front of Eustass disappeared. He walked into the Sanctum, looking at the two porcelain vases placed at the entrance.
A chandelier hung from the ceiling, its faint yellow light illuminating the room.
Eustass walked forward to a staircase, just about to go up, when he sensed an aura suddenly appear behind him.
Eustass turned around. The Sorcerer Ancient One, draped in a yellow monastic robe, lifted her hood and looked at him:
"We meet again, Eustass. You are more powerful than before."
"Hello, Sorcerer Ancient One."
Eustass looked at her.
"Have you come to ask about the convergence of the Nine Realms, or do you wish to learn Sanctum magic?"
The Ancient One smiled at him. A huge spark portal suddenly appeared, swept past the two of them, and in an instant, Eustass found himself inside the ancient and elegant Kamar-Taj temple, located in Nepal.
"Please have some tea." The Sorcerer Ancient One smiled at Eustass, sitting at the table and pushing a cup of tea towards him.
"Please have some tea." The Sorcerer Ancient One smiled at Eustass, sitting at the table and pushing a cup of tea towards him.
"This way of traveling is much more..."
"Much more convenient than nano armor?" The Ancient One smiled at Eustass.
"Much more convenient than nano armor?" The Ancient One smiled at Eustass.
She knew Eustass's situation and understood that his true strength came from himself, not the black technology rumored outside.
"I just came to pay a simple visit." Eustass said.
"I just came to pay a simple visit." Eustass said.
"I see." The Sorcerer Ancient One smiled, looking at him with an expression that said,
"I see." The Sorcerer Ancient One smiled, looking at him with an expression that said,

"Alright, there's something I want to ask about the nature of the Temple's magic."
Eustass asked.
"Its essence is to steal power. Your own power is constantly growing, so I don't think it's necessary."
The Ancient One said with great candor.
"Drawing energy from other places and then using your spells to produce different effects, is there a possibility that I could use similar methods to draw my own energy and use it?"
Eustass looked at the Ancient One and asked. He felt that Haki was also a kind of energy hidden within the human body.
How wonderful it would be if there were more ways to utilize Haki more perfectly.
"Your idea is very good. To be honest, if you didn't already have such a powerful energy within you that you could even use, I would really want to take you as my disciple. You are very talented."
The Ancient One smiled, "But I think you should go out and meet someone."
With that, the Ancient One pointed outside.
"Okay."
Eustass took a sip of tea, stood up, and walked outside.
Eustass understood the Ancient One's meaning. The idea was beautiful, but impractical to implement; she had politely declined.
What Eustass wanted was just to study the ways Kamar-Taj mages drew energy and constructed spells with it, and then try to use this method to better utilize Haki.
But the Ancient One hinted that the systems were different, and the chance of failure was too high to be practical.
Eustass left the temple and came to the open ground outside.
A group of Kamar-Taj mages continued their training of stealing energy~
Not far away, a beam of colorful light instantly descended from the sky.
When the dazzling beam disappeared, a graceful figure appeared in the open space. She had long, slightly curly black hair and a delicate, beautiful Western face.
The Asgardian warrior Sif, holding a sharp sword and a shield, saw Eustass appearing in front of her in the distance and quickly ran over.
Sif, wearing a short skirt and leather pants, jumped up, clung to Eustass, and pecked him.
"You haven't looked for me in three days."
Sif looked up at him and said.
"This is Nepal.
How about I go out and find a hotel?
We can have a good time, what do you say?"
Eustass gently stroked Sif's hair and smiled.
"Ahem, we'll talk about that later."
Sif quickly got off him, her expression turning serious. "Something bad has happened. Thor's girlfriend on Earthhas been possessed by the Aether Particle, and the Dark Elves of Svartalfheim have now awakened. They attacked Asgard, and Asgard suffered heavy losses.
Thor wants your help, so he sent me to find you."
Eustass nodded. When Sif appeared, he had already guessed the reason.
"Then let's go. If the Dark Elves get the Aether Particle, when the Nine Realms completely align, Midgard will also face disaster."
Eustass finished speaking, looked up at the sky, "Heimdall!"
"Heimdall!"
Sif quickly shouted.
But Heimdall didn't respond at all... Asgard.
Bifrost Bridge control room.
Heimdall had just sent Sif to Midgard, but soon after, a group of guards arrived and took him away.
"The King has ordered that from today onwards, the Bifrost Bridge will be completely sealed, and no one is allowed to pass!"
After the guard finished speaking, Heimdall silently looked back at the Nine Realms, nodded, and turned to leave with them... Earth.
Kamar-Taj.
Eustass looked at the sky. For a long time, Heimdall did not use the Bifrost Bridge to bring them over.
"Odin must have ordered the Bifrost Bridge to be sealed."
Eustass said.
This year, Odin woke up from his slumber, so now Odin is in charge of Asgard.
"Oh no..."
Sif said, clutching her sharp sword nervously.
"I have a way."
Eustass said, then pulled Sif directly into the Kamar-TajHall.
"Do you need me to send you over?"
The Ancient One sat at the table, looking at Eustass.
"Send me to this place, thanks."
Eustass took out his phone and showed the Ancient Onethe address, name, and actual photos of a location.
"Have a good journey."
The Ancient One waved her hands, and a spark portal suddenly appeared beneath Eustass and Sif's feet. The two instantly fell through, plummeting towards the outskirts of Los Angeles on the West Coast of America.
America, West Coast.
Outskirts of Los Angeles.
Eustass and Sif suddenly fell out of the spark portal in the sky. He quickly patted his pocket, and the nano pen inside instantly extended its material, transforming into a nano armor that enveloped Eustass.
Eustass held Sif and spun downwards for a few seconds. The nano armor sprayed flames, propelling him to fly quickly towards Sharon Carter's secret safe house.
Soon after.
Inside an abandoned building.
Eustass landed on the ground, the nano armor quickly disappeared, reverting to the nano pen, which he put into his pocket.
Eustass, with Sif, came to a pile of discarded materials and kicked them away.
Eustass opened a panel on the ground, revealing a password input screen underneath.
After entering the password, Eustass and Sif waited for a while. The wall opposite opened, and an elevator appeared before them... Soon after.
Eustass took the secret elevator to the underground secret safe house.
"How's the Tesseract research coming along?"
Eustass came to the laboratory and asked Sharon Carter.
After the Battle of New York, Eustass and Sharon stole the Mind Stone and the Tesseract.
Thor knew what was going on and didn't bother to interfere or say anything, as he knew who was closer to him.
Eustass had Sharon take the Tesseract, establish a secret safe house, recruit research personnel, and lead them in researching the Tesseract.
The data originally obtained from S.H.I.E.L.D. also accelerated their research speed.
"Currently, we can use a device to hold the Tesseract, input a target point, and perform fixed-point teleportation."
Sharon said with a smile, looking at the report handed to her by a researcher.
She glanced at the beautiful Asgardian woman wearing light armor and holding a sharp sword, feeling slightly amazed.
"Then give me both the device and the Tesseract."
Eustass said.
Thor 2's plot has begun. He wants to go beat up Malekithand that big Dark Elf underling of his, and get some rewards.
"Okay, I'll get it right away."
Sharon said, then turned to have someone retrieve the device. The Tesseract was already placed in the laboratory.
Soon after.
Sharon installed the Tesseract and the accompanying teleportation device together and handed them to Eustass.
After Eustass finishes fighting Malekith this time, he must ask Asgard about the direct usage method of the Space Stone.
This thing is much more convenient for travel than the Temple's spark portal.

"Where are you going? Should we come with you?"
Sharon Carter held a rifle and quickly asked.
"Asgard."
Eustass replied.
"Alright, I think it's better if we stay here."
Hearing "Asgard," Sharon decided it was best not to cause him trouble.
"Send someone to this location. We're leaving now."
Eustass showed Sharon an address, and after speaking, he left the Secret Safe Zone with Sif.
They found a distant spot to teleport from, which was also to prevent S.H.I.E.L.D. from detecting the location of the energy fluctuations.
Twisting the device containing the Tesseract, the Tesseract released energy. Azure energy enveloped Eustass and Sif, and the two vanished together, heading toward Asgard... Asgard.
Eustass and Sif appeared simultaneously on a wide bridge.
The moment they appeared, a spaceship resembling a throwing knife instantly flew quickly from the direction of the Royal Palace. The knife-like tail of the Dark Elves' spaceship immediately sliced through and destroyed many buildings in Asgard, constantly weaving rapidly through the city while evading artillery fire.
Defense cannons continuously blasted energy beams toward the Dark Elves' spaceship, which quickly flew over the bridge, sweeping past Eustass and Sif.
Eustass released Observation Haki, sensing the presence of Thor, Loki, and Jane aboard the ship.
They were late; Thor and Loki had already teamed up and were preparing to head to Svartalfheim.
Thor rapidly flew the Dark Elves' spaceship, getting a little anxious while avoiding the pursuit of the Flying Skiffs. As a result, the knife-like tail of the Dark Elves' spaceship directly decapitated the statue of Thor's Grandpa.
"Oh, Thor decapitated his Grandpa..."
Sif said in shock.
"It's time for us to go."
Eustass finished speaking, took the device containing the Tesseract, entered the coordinates for Svartalfheim, and twisted the device.
Azure energy surged out of the Tesseract, enveloping the two, and teleporting them toward the Dark Elf Realm.
Not long after.
Svartalfheim.
Above the perpetually dark and gray sky, gray clouds slowly drifted.
Across the desolate black earth, wilderness stretched as far as the eye could see.
A fierce wind swept through, howling as black dust swirled up from the desolate land.
A gigantic, knife-shaped battleship, resembling a blade without a hilt, quickly flew toward the dim sky. The ship entered the clouds, and its hull vanished as it cloaked itself.
In the distance.
Below the clouds.
A figure trailing flames quickly flew toward them. Eustass, wearing his nano armor, quickly arrived with Sif.
Eustass was teleported directly to Svartalfheim, while Thor and the others arrived via a Node between Asgardand Svartalfheim.
Therefore, the two groups were teleported to different locations. Eustass used Observation Haki to sense for a while before finding Thor, and then flew over.
He sensed Thor's presence using Observation Haki and located him.
Looking down, on the dark, desolate wasteland, Loki was surrounded by a group of Dark Elves, while Thor was fighting the Cursed Warrior Aglin from the Dark Elves, and was being completely suppressed.
Loki was surrounded by a group of ordinary Dark Elf warriors, holding a dagger in one hand, ready to deal with the enemies at any moment.
Eustass quickly descended, raised a palm, and fired an energy beam directly at a Dark Elf warrior.
Sif landed nearby, raised the sharp sword in her hand, and thrust it toward the Dark Elf warriors.
"Puch! Puch! Puch!"
Eustass and Sif quickly moved among the Dark Elves. Eustass released White Threads from his hands, constantly piercing the bodies of the Dark Elves, while Sifcontinuously swung her sharp sword, causing cold light to flash incessantly.
The two quickly finished off all the Dark Elves.
Eustass looked at the few Dark Elves lying dead on the ground, but heard no reward notification.
These guys were too weak, and there were too few of them. Disappointing.
"Oh, look who decided to show up. Eustass, Asgard's best Midgardian friend... Have you decided to defect to Asgard?"
Loki laughed as he looked at Eustass, teasing him.
The moment Loki saw Eustass, his rage meter instantly spiked.
"You're overthinking things, second princess."
After Eustass spoke, he wove threads into a Thread Staffand swung it at Loki.
The illusion Loki left behind was struck by the Thread Staff and scattered into nothingness.
Eustass sensed the real Loki's presence. He stomped the ground dozens of times in an instant, using Soru to instantly appear behind Loki. He spun the Thread Staff in his hand and slammed it upward into Loki's backside.
"Hiss!"
Loki's family jewels was struck. He squeezed his legs together in pain, howling as he fell sideways and rolled around continuously.
Eustass glanced at Loki and walked toward the distance.
"Swoosh!"
A figure quickly flew into the distance, crashing into a small hill with a loud boom. Dirt and rock shattered, rubble tumbled down, and dust flew everywhere.
The Dark Elf Cursed Warrior Aglin stood his ground, glaring at Thor, whom he had hammered away. He let out a furious roar, picked up a boulder, and threw it straight at Thor.
The boulder quickly flew high, tracing an arc before violently smashing into Thor, creating a thunderous sound.
The Cursed Warrior Aglin heard footsteps, quickly turned around, and saw the Thread Staff in Eustass's hand swinging toward him.
"Whoosh!"
The Thread Staff cut through the air. The Cursed Warriorquickly raised his hand to grab it, but Eustass didn't dodge his hand at all.
Let him grab it!
Eustass slammed the staff directly onto the hand of the Cursed Warrior Aglin. Aglin cried out in pain, and Eustassthen opened his hand and delivered a powerful, heavy blow to Aglin's face.
Aglin's Cursed Warrior mask was shattered and flew apart, his skull was deformed, and his teeth were knocked out.
"Swoosh!"
Just as Thor was getting back on his feet, the Cursed Warrior Aglin was sent flying, crashing heavily into another small hill.
Aglin roared furiously. He abruptly grabbed the small hill, plunged his hands into it, pulled out a massive rock, and, roaring, violently hurled it at Eustass.
Eustass vigorously swung the Thread Staff in his hand, striking it upward, smashing the staff into the incoming boulder.
"Boom—!"
The boulder was shattered by Eustass's staff, sending fragments flying everywhere.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—!"
Mjolnir quickly flew, heading toward Thor.
The Cursed Warrior Aglin, who was running toward Eustass, threw an elbow, knocking mjolnir away.
Thor quickly ran over, but Aglin spun around with a flying kick, sending Thor flying, and then followed up with a punch, knocking Thor straight to the ground and proceeding to relentlessly pummel him.
"You are very strong."
Eustass looked at the burly Cursed Warrior, used Soru, and instantly appeared in front of him.
"Hm? Hmph!"
The Cursed Warrior Aglin snorted coldly and raised a fist, slamming it toward Eustass.
Eustass wrapped Conqueror's Haki around his Thread Staff and swung it violently. Aglin was hit directly and thrown flying; the Conqueror's Haki caused him to fall unconscious.
Eustass leaped up, the Thread Staff in his hand vanished, and he delivered a kick to Aglin's body, followed by the sound of cracking bones.
The next moment, Aglin's massive body crashed onto the dark earth. Eustass landed, wove White Threads into a thread sword, and pierced Aglin's body with a single stab.
Chapter 79: 79. Dr. Selvig, Ahead of His Time! The Great War is Imminent! (Please Subscribe!)
Aglin was awakened by a sword thrust. The Cursed Warrior of the Dark Elves indeed had strong vitality. He quickly grabbed the black hole grenade at his waist, preparing to take Eustass down with him.
As the black hole grenade was pulled, Aglin's hand reaching for Eustass was severed by a sword.
Eustass raised his foot and kicked Aglin away.
The black hole grenade exploded, creating an extremely terrifying suction force that engulfed Aglin's massive body, shrinking it continuously until it vanished.
[The host has defeated Aglin, the Dark Elf Cursed Warrior!]
[Reward obtained: Observation Haki strength ×2!]
"You're really impressive. Have you considered becoming a subject of Asgard?"
Loki limped over.
Eustass wove a thread hammer in his hand. Loki looked at him in horror, quickly leaving an afterimage and limping away in a sorry state.
Eustass used Soru, instantly appearing before Loki, and swung the thread hammer upward with force.
"Hiss!"
Amidst the sound of a painful blow.
Loki, transformed into Asgard's second princess, collapsed.
Eustass glanced at Loki with disdain, his thread hammerdisappearing as he walked towards Thor.
"I think you'd better throw him back to Asgard and let him continue his imprisonment."
Eustass said with a smile.
"You... hiss... devil."
Loki lay on his side on the ground, his 'family jewels' hurting terribly, speaking through gritted teeth.
"No, I'm not a devil."
Eustass quickly denied it.
"You are..."
Loki cursed.
Eustass wove a thread stick in his hand, spun it a few times, and then forcefully struck Loki's 'family jewels'.
"Ah!"
Loki cried out in pain and fainted directly.
"Oh, you're too brutal."
Sif walked over, sighing.
"I think it's just right. Can we go now?"
Eustass looked at Thor.
"Go where?"
Thor asked, confused, grabbing Loki's leg and dragging him forward. Jane Foster followed behind Thor.
"At least avoid the storm first."
Eustass pointed to the huge storm behind them. The storm quickly swept over, and the group quickly hid in a cave.
Just then.
Eustass's phone rang with a rock music ringtone.
"What's going on?"
Jane Foster, who was following, looked at him in surprise.
Soon after, Jane's phone also rang with a ringtone.
Both picked up their phones and answered.
"Where did you go? I bought some ingredients to celebrate moving. How about hot pot tonight?"
Helen Cho's voice came from Eustass's phone.
"I went to Asgard. Wait a moment, I'll be back after a fight, it won't take long."
Eustass said.
"Still sparring with people from the Nine Realms like before?"
"Yes."
"Alright then, come back early. Love you, dear."
"Love you too, bye~"
"Bye~"
Eustass ended the call, and Sif angrily pinched him.
She was a little jealous... but fortunately, the three beauties either had different professions or lived in different realms, so they rarely met under normal circumstances.
Otherwise, Eustass would have been busy.
Beside him, Jane was talking to Richard, whom she had dined with earlier, and at the same time trying to determine the location of the mysterious space connected to Earth through signal strength.
Thor listened to Jane and Richard's conversation, a look of jealousy on his face.
Eustass patted Sif's hand, using Observation Haki to sense the surroundings.
In his perception, he could clearly feel a faint aura of Earthvaguely ahead.
Eustass quickly walked forward and squatted down.
An aluminum can lay on the ground in front of him.
Next to it, there was a string of keys.
"Whose car keys?"
Eustass picked up the keys. Jane quickly raised her hand, and Eustass tossed them to her.
"Let's go, I have a way back. As for Loki, leave him here, the people of Asgard will find him."
Eustass wrapped Loki in thread like a mummy.
He grabbed Sif's hand and quickly walked towards the cave ahead with his Asgardian girlfriend. After a few steps, the two vanished into thin air.
Jane quickly grabbed the stunned Thor and ran forward with him. They also disappeared... The next moment.
Earth.
London.
Near the RUNICO Shipping Company containers.
Eustass, holding Sif's hand, suddenly appeared here. Behind them, Jane, pulling Thor's hand, also emerged.
The Nine Realms aligned, which is why such a marvel occurred.
The abandoned factory near the RUNICO Shipping Company containers in London connected to the realm of the Dark Elves.
And the area near Eustass's new home also connected to the realm of the Fire Giants.
When the Nine Realms completely converge into one line, that will be the opportune moment for Malekith to use the Aether Particle to spread darkness across the entire Universe.
Not far away, a broken car was parked.
Jane quickly got in, and Thor sat in the passenger seat.
"What's the destination?"
Eustass asked.
"It's here..."
Jane took out a phone and showed Eustass the address.
"OK."
Eustass said, then activated his nano armor, hugged Sif's slender waist, and shot into the sky with a burst of flame.
Not long after.
Jane Foster's residence in London.
Eustass greeted Dr. Selvig and Daisy, then walked in with Sif.
Before arriving at Jane Foster's house, he had handed the Tesseract to Sharon's organization members in London.
After all, he hadn't yet mastered a way to use the Space Stone directly without a device, and fighting with such a large object was quite troublesome.
"Oh, long time no see."
Dr. Selvig walked over with a smile, wanting a friendly hug from Eustass.
"Indeed, long time no see, Doctor."
Eustass gave Dr. Selvig a perfunctory hug and sat down with Sif.
"Doctor, after more than a year, you're truly getting younger, and your attire is even a bit... uh, avant-garde."
Eustass looked at Dr. Selvig's outfit and teased.
"Thank you for the compliment."
Dr. Selvig laughed.
He was wearing a shirt, and below... he was wearing shorts... it was too avant-garde, avant-garde to the point of being an eyesore.
Soon after.
Jane drove up with Thor, and the group sat together to discuss.
Malekith would release the Aether Particle at a point where the Nine Realms connected, which would multiply its destructive power.
With each additional realm, the energy would increase exponentially.
This would endanger the entire Universe.
Dr. Selvig wasn't crazy. He took out a map, marked Stonehenge, Mount Snowdon, and Great Orme, then drew straight lines connecting them to determine the location of the point where the Nine Realms converged.
His finger landed, pointing to a specific location—
Greenwich, London!
Eustass extended many threads from his hand, preparing to set off to meet Malekith.
Thor raised his hand, and mjolnir quickly flew to him with a whistle.
Dr. Selvig looked at the two of them, startled, and took a step back:
"I think I'd better put on some pants..."
Soon after.
Greenwich University Square.
Eustass, clad in his nano armor, landed in the square, his arm around Sif, whom he then set down.
He looked up towards the Thames, awaiting the arrival of the Dark Elves and the great battle.
Chapter 80 – Pummeling Malekith Who Absorbed the Reality Stone! (Fifth update, please subscribe! monthly tickets!)
Soon after.
Jane Foster drove Daisy, Thor, Dr. Selvig, and her "intern's intern" to Greenwich University, each of them dashing about with instruments to prepare.
Dr. Selvig had a detector; once the Nine Realms were perfectly aligned he could use the mutual interference of that phenomenon to teleport people away.
Eustass sat on the lawn, gazing across at the Thames.
In his senses, a colossal presence suddenly appeared.
An invisible Dark-Elf warship descended; though cloaked, a careful eye could still catch the air warping.
The vessel landed on the Thames, its blade-like hull cleaving the water, waves churning without end.
Ripples rushed toward the shore.
Only when the ship revealed itself did the students on the plaza notice the collision; they screamed and fled.
Eustass remained on the grass, watching the craft rip the earth as it sped toward him.
The lawn split, cement paths shattered, the university square cleaved in two; the Dark-Elf warship, like a battle-blade, tore the ground with unstoppable momentum.
The dark-colored ship slammed upright into the soil, standing upon the land.
Like a handle-less cleaver, its tip glowed crimson; the troop bay slid down and opened at ground level.
Malekith led his warriors out—white hair tied back, black cloak, black armor, pale skin—striding forward, regarding the Midgardian seated on the lawn with cold eyes.
"Foolish Midgardian, the World is ending; the Nine Realms will sink into endless darkness. You sit at ease, unafraid of death!"
Malekith said loftily.
"Death is all I ask—but the one who dies will be you."
Eustass answered, his gaze icy.
"Hmph, arrogant Midgardian ant!"
Malekith roared, waving for his soldiers to open fire.
The Dark Elves raised their ray guns and blasted at Eustass.
Energy beams shot forth; Armament Haki coiled around Eustass.
The beams struck him harmlessly, not even scratching his skin.
Sparks scattered; Eustass stared coldly at Malekith:
"High-and-mighty elves still play with water guns?"
At the taunt Malekith seethed.
He snatched a black hole grenade from a soldier and hurled it.
Eustass lifted a palm; Armament Haki surged outward as a barrier, shoving the grenade back.
Malekith cried out and dived aside.
The elves behind him were less fortunate;
each was swallowed by the miniature black hole, leaving only a crater behind.
"Damned Midgardian!"
Malekith rose from the turf and sprinted forward, releasing torrents of Dark-Red Crystals born from the Aether, surging like a tide toward Eustass.
Eustass sprang up, Armament Haki cloaking his body; countless threads erupted from his hands, braiding into pillars wreathed in Haki, smashing into the crimson wave.
To onlookers it looked like nano armor tech—no one doubted it.
Pillars collided with crystals; shards flew everywhere, white threads snapping and drifting like snow.
Malekith inhaled the Aether—the Reality Stone—into himself; the Dark Elves had long known how to wield it, turning it into their own battle style.
Arms spread, he unleashed fresh waves of Dark-Red Crystals at Eustass.
Eustass stomped the ground dozens of times in an instant, using Soru to vanish in a blur.
Malekith's face showed shock.
In the next instant—
Eustass appeared at his side, leg coated in Armament Haki, kicking Malekith flying.
Malekith crashed through a stone pillar, slammed into a parked car, crumpling it and flipping it over.
Eustass merged Soru with Moonwalk into Moon-Blade Razor, arcing like a sharp crescent to the just-rising Malekith, foot lashing out.
A shield of Dark-Red Crystals formed before Malekith; Eustass's Haki-clad heel drove him backward, carving a long trench in the ground.
Malekith looked up—Eustass was gone again. He tensed, releasing more Aether crystals to encircle himself in protection.
Eustass flashed in with Soru, leg now wrapped in Conqueror's Haki, black lightning crackling around it.
The kick shattered the crystal shield and smashed into Malekith's face.
Blood sprayed, teeth flying; Malekith tumbled across the lawn.
Before Eustass could follow up, the converging realms shifted, and Malekith was teleported to another World.
Understanding at once, Eustass shot forward with Soru, vanishing into the same spot.
Svartalfheim, realm of the Dark Elves.
Beneath grey clouds over a desolate land.
Malekith spun around—then Eustass appeared.
He instantly loosed a storm of Dark-Red Crystals.
Eustass flew in with a kick, Armament Haki densest around his foot, using internal destruction.
Crystals burst; the kick slammed Malekith's chest, sending him crashing, blood gushing.
Among the blood were fragments of organ tissue.
Malekith paled; his foe's strength had damaged his vitals.
He hurled more crystals at Eustass and turned to flee.
Eustass flashed in with Soru and kicked him in the head.
Pfft!
Chapter 81: 81. Darkness Devours the Nine Realms, Malekith Defeated! (Please Subscribe!)
Malekith spat out a mouthful of blood, his entire body flying far away before suddenly vanishing.
Eustass used Soru, instantly rushing forward at high speed.
Jotunheim, the Frost Giant Kingdom.
Malekith suddenly appeared in Jotunheim, the blood he spat out freezing in mid-air.
Thick clouds covered the sky, ice and snow blanketed the ground, and snowflakes swirled and danced.
As soon as Eustass appeared, a large gray monster from the Frost Giant Kingdom quickly rushed towards the two of them.
Eustass's hand tangled with a large amount of threads, forming a Thread Pillar that fiercely pierced through the monster's body.
The massive gray monster suddenly collapsed, and the frozen ground beneath Eustass and Malekith cracked, plunging them into an abyss.
The next instant.
Eustass and Malekith vanished.
Greenwich University.
Eustass and Malekith suddenly fell from the sky. Above them, there were eight massive gates, each leading to one of the other eight of the Nine Realms.
Eustass and Malekith fell for a moment, then suddenly disappeared again.
A fighter jet rapidly flew towards Greenwich, launching missiles at enemy spacecraft on the ground.
However, as the missiles flew, they were suddenly absorbed into one of the eight gates, the gate to Vanaheim.
Both the missiles and the fighter jet were sucked in.
Vanaheim.
Hogun, who had just returned to his homeland, was standing on the grass, comfortably breathing in the fresh air of his home, when a missile instantly landed in the forest, causing a massive explosion of fire.
Hogun:...Earth.
Near Greenwich.
On an office building.
Eustass and Malekith suddenly appeared, plummeting downwards.
Eustass pressed Malekith's head, and as they descended, his other hand continuously rained punches on Malekith. His punches were like shadows, fierce and heavy, constantly cracking the skyscraper's wall.
Malekith tried to resist, but the next instant, the continuously falling duo vanished again.
Vanaheim.
Hogun was leading his people to fight the forest fire, but halfway there, two figures suddenly appeared in the air.
Malekith released countless dark red crystals from his body towards Eustass, a magnificent sight like ten thousand arrows firing simultaneously. Eustass's hands were wrapped in a large amount of threads, forming two giant White fists. Armament Haki enveloped the White fists, making the thread-constructed White fists both hard and flexible, with elasticity.
Eustass's White fists continuously compressed backward, then shot out like Luffy's spring-loaded fists.
"Boom boom boom—!"
The Thread White fists continuously struck out, their speed extremely fast, leaving countless afterimages. The dark red crystals were sent flying, and Eustass's fist slammed into Malekith's body, followed by punch after punch.
Malekith was passively beaten, flying past Hogun. Eustass continuously pounded Malekith, briefly glancing at Hogun, then pressed his fist against Malekith's head, repeatedly slamming him into the ground, dragging Malekith through a long gully as they rushed into the distance.
Hogun was about to pick up his weapon to help, but Eustass, still pummeling Malekith, vanished with him.
Muspelheim.
Eustass and Malekith suddenly appeared. Eustass, enveloped in Armament Haki, continuously struck Malekith while enduring the high temperatures and remaining vigilant for any flame giants that might appear.
However, after only a few punches to Malekith, the two teleported again.
Earth.
Eustass wiped away the sweat caused by Muspelheim's scorching flames, watching Malekith scramble away, and clenched his fists.
The Nine Realms being completely aligned, leading to frequent spatial distortions and overlaps, was really annoying.
He could have killed Malekith several times, but was interrupted by these anomalies each time.
Malekith quickly ran to the warship, looking up at the gates to other realms in the sky, and released countless Aether Particles to spread darkness to the other realms.
Asgard.
The Aether Particles invaded Asgard through the "gates." The magnificent golden buildings were swallowed by darkness one after another, and the twinkling stars in the sky vanished.
When the Nine Realms align, the power of the Aether Particles increases exponentially once they enter a realm.
The power of the Aether Particles that Malekith could use during his fight with Eustass was vastly different from the exponentially growing power after invading through the "gates."
Vanaheim.
The Aether Particles once again passed through a "gate" and entered the World of the Vanir. As the Aether Particles invaded, the sky turned dark, the forest was swallowed by darkness, and the darkness continuously spread, leaving the land desolate.
Hogun's expression changed in alarm, and he quickly led his people to retreat.
Earth.
Eustass looked at Malekith, who stood near the warship, surrounded by a rapidly rotating deep red Aether Particlestorm.
Eustass quickly ran over, enveloped in Armament Haki, resisting the storm as he headed towards Malekith.
Within the deep red storm, Malekith turned to look at Eustass, his face filled with cold indifference and disdain.
Eustass resisted the storm, walking quickly, his fists clenched, ready to deliver two solid punches at any moment.
"Darkness has returned, Midgardian warrior."
Malekith said proudly, looking up, "You are indeed powerful, strong enough to inspire awe, but your Universe is about to be buried. Cherish the little time you have left!"
"I'm here to bury you, Malekith!"
Eustass said coldly. The next instant, he vanished.
"Hmph, stubborn fool!"
Malekith roared, his body filled with a large amount of dark red crystals transformed from Aether Particles, which exploded and shot out in all directions.
Eustass, fully enveloped in Armament Haki, appeared beside Malekith. A large amount of threads wrapped around his arm, forming a giant White Thread Arm. The giant White Thread Fist was tightly clenched, enveloped by Conqueror's Haki and Armament Haki.
He punched, sending a large number of deep red crystals flying, and then fiercely smashed his fist onto Malekith's head.
Malekith's brain was momentarily dizzy, and the Aether Particles lost control, retracting one after another.
Eustass delivered another punch, using all his strength, with all his Haki surging into the giant White Thread Fist, which then slammed down.
"Rumble—!"
A resounding shock echoed throughout Greenwich, and the ground trembled violently.
The Aether Particles retracted, and the crisis of the Nine Realms was averted.
Inside the deep red Aether Particle storm.
Eustass transformed the nano armor material into a container. Just as the Aether Particles were about to drill into his body, they were trapped inside the container.
Eustass quickly screwed the lid onto the container.
Releasing the White threads on his body, Eustass carried the jar and walked out.
The deep red Aether Particle storm dissipated. Eustasswalked towards Sif and the others with the jar, the dark red Aether Particles continuously swirling inside.
Sif and the others all looked into the distance. In the center of the university square, on the lawn, a large crater had appeared, and inside the crater, a flattened humanoid figure lay there.
