Li Yue, how did you get here? You're even faster than us."
Thor looked at Li Yue, who had appeared before him, his heart filled with shock. He had always believed that Asgard's Bifrost was the fastest mode of travel, capable of reaching any of the Nine Realms in an instant.
But to his surprise, as soon as he returned to Asgard via the Bifrost, he saw Li Yue already waiting for him. What allowed Li Yue to be faster than Asgard's Bifrost?
"You can consider it my special ability!"
Li Yue replied ambiguously.
"Am I seeing things? Are we still in Midgard? Or is this Loki's illusion?"
The four people who returned with Thor were also incredibly surprised. They had just seen this person on Earth before they left. How could they still see him upon returning to Asgard?
"Heimdall, are you alright?"
Thor shouted towards Heimdall, who had fallen to the ground, and ran over to him.
"Take Heimdall to get treated. I'm going to find Loki!"
Thor helped Heimdall up and handed him over to the Three Warriors. After saying this to everyone, he directly swung Mjolnir with his right hand. Mjolnir quickly spun, then carried Thor rapidly forward, quickly disappearing from everyone's sight.
"Oh, he's finally gone. So tired, so tired... acting is really exhausting."
The Three Warriors immediately relaxed, muttering some inexplicable words. Sif, however, had flickering eyes. Thor's trip to Midgard had unexpectedly led him to find a girlfriend there, which saddened Sif, who had a secret admiration for Thor.
"Let's get out of here quickly. Prince Loki and Prince Thor are about to fight here, and it's not good for us to be around."
Heimdall, who had seemed severely injured, suddenly straightened up and became lively, showing no signs of injury whatsoever. He then spoke in a deep voice to the four people.
At this moment, Li Yue watched everything unfold beside them, his face expressing, "Are you kidding me? What's going on? What are you talking about? What am I doing here?"
"Sir, I apologize, but everything that has happened is part of Allfather Odin's plan. Its purpose is to help Prince Thor mature and become a qualified king."
"For the sake of Prince Thor, we can only cooperate. We hope you can keep this a secret for us and not let Prince Thor know about it. Thank you!"
After hearing Heimdall's words, Li Yue couldn't help but think, "Holy moly... you Asgardians are really good at playing games. Old Man Odin came up with a complete plan, recruited a group of actors, and the actors put on a show to trick that silly oaf Thor."
Thor, you should change your name to "Truman," and your Asgard should change its name to "Seahaven Island." (Don't dwell on this if you don't understand it.)
"Mr. Li Yue, please leave with us. This place will become a battlefield soon."
Heimdall called out to Li Yue, then led the way, running forward. The Three Warriors and Sif followed behind him.
Li Yue was also helpless. He had come to Asgard to see what was happening and to see if there were any benefits he could gain, such as a treasure from Odin's Vault, which would be a huge profit. Who knew that after arriving, he would hear such explosive news?
Li Yue didn't even know why Heimdall and the others would tell him. Did they trust him so much that he wouldn't tell Thor? Would Odin kill him to silence him later?
However, looking at the figures of those few people who were already far from him, Li Yue was a little helpless and could only temporarily follow Heimdall's arrangements. Immediately, Li Yue disappeared from his original spot... Heimdall ran for a long time, then looked back but didn't see Li Yue's figure, and a question arose in his heart.
"Did he leave Asgard?"
However, Heimdall didn't think much of it and continued to run forward.
They had to leave the range of the Bifrost as soon as possible. This place would soon become their "stage."
After running for a few minutes, they finally ran out of the Bifrost's range and officially entered the palace of Asgard.
They had run a considerable distance and at full speed, so they were breathless and panting for fresh air.
"Your Asgardian physique isn't very good, is it? You're so tired from such a short distance. It seems you need to strengthen your training."
Just then, they suddenly heard a playful voice beside them. They all turned their heads to look and saw a familiar figure sitting on the steps, looking at them with a half-smile, and occasionally putting something into his mouth with his right hand. Clearly, the words had come from him.
This person was Li Yue, and beside him was a white plastic bag, the contents of which were unknown.
Heimdall and the others slowly walked towards Li Yue, wondering why he was there.
"Sir? How did you get here so quickly?"
Heimdall stepped forward and asked Li Yue.
"Didn't I say it? It's my special ability. You don't need to ask any more questions."
"Come, come, come. I just returned to Earth—no, you here should call it Midgard. These are specialties I brought from Midgard. Come and try them."
Li Yue beckoned to them, then opened the bag beside him and pulled out items one by one.
"This is 'fat happy water' (soda), this is ice beer, these are all drinks. This is spiced melon seeds, chicken drumsticks, chicken wings, and this, called popcorn, essential for watching movies—no, for watching a show..."
As Li Yue pulled out each item, he introduced what it was.
Li Yue's actions left the five people dumbfounded. They didn't have these things in Asgard and were incredibly curious. Only Heimdall, being well-traveled, was able to maintain his composure.
"How do you open this?"
The brawny man with the axe curiously picked up a can of ice beer but didn't know how to open it. He was about to use both hands to forcefully crush it.
"Stop, stop, stop. Let me help you. See this metal ring? Pull it..."
Li Yue, like a teacher instructing children, taught them how to open these things.
"Burp... Although the taste isn't as strong as our ale here, it's so refreshing with one gulp. Another bottle!"
The brawny man with the axe directly chugged a can of ice beer, then slammed the can onto the ground, which was their Asgardian tradition.
Clang!
The can, however, did not shatter.
"This is also quite good to drink, a little sweet!"
"This doesn't taste very good, a bit dry to chew!"
"Those are melon seeds; you can't eat the shells! You have to spit them out."
...For a while, the five Asgardians ate and drank, having a great time. At the same time, their relationship with Li Yue gradually became more familiar, with continuous laughter and conversation.
Li Yue also smiled as he watched them. It was always a good idea to build good relationships with them.
Li Yue also picked up a bag of melon seeds and started cracking them, while looking towards the Bifrost. A figure riding a horse and holding a long spear had just ridden past quickly.
And soon after, a figure also appeared in the sky, flying to chase after him. Li Yue had carefully chosen this position; from here, the situation at the Bifrost was clear at a glance.
The great battle between Loki and Thor had begun!
No, the show was about to start!
