“It does seem like there is something there, but if it's all gold, it might be a bit tacky.”
The crowd followed Sol and Freyja, among others, toward Asgard, marveling at the mix of technology and mythological elements in the various divine buildings.
Even Tony could only grumble with a hard smile about a few minor flaws that didn't count as such.
As he passed through the divine square, George saw the massive remains of the frost giant king, Laufey, who had been killed by Loki.
The frost giants' bodies can be either large or small, normally reaching a height of thirty-four meters, but they can also control their size to match that of humans through their own abilities.
Loki was abandoned because of his inherent defect, which caused him to be only human-sized.
Laufey, in an attempt to assassinate Odin, had shrunk his size upon entering Asgard, and after being killed by Loki, he was left in the divine square before slowly returning to his normal size of around thirty-four meters.
"Go!"
As he passed by the body of Laufey, George immediately used magnetic force to control the blade to fly out quickly, piercing the heart of the frost giant king, Laufey, and quietly removing some heart nerves.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Laufey, the frost giant king, was killed by Loki's surprise attack. The main reason for this is that he lost the ancient winter tomb, which was the source of his power.
In his prime, Laufey was capable of blinding one of Odin's eyes, a testament to his undeniable power.
If the heart nerves of Laufey were used as the core of a staff, they should not be much worse than Odin's hair.
Upon entering Asgard, they were taken to a luxurious room to rest, where lavish food was also prepared.
"George, you all rest. I and the queen will attend to matters regarding Loki."
After bringing everyone to the room, Thor and Freyja went to deal with the chaos caused by Loki, and the others started chatting.
Bruce, whose body was restored by George's tickling spell, exclaimed in admiration:
"It seems our guesses were right; the realm is indeed an alien civilization far beyond our Earth's technology. It appears there are many cosmic civilizations out there that we still don't know about."
"However, I think this is not necessarily a good thing."
Tony, while eating the special fruit of Asgard, said:
"It's evident from the internal turmoil in Asgard and those highly aggressive big ice blocks that although alien civilizations are technologically advanced, their mindset isn't much more advanced than ours."
This means that if they so choose, they could invade Earth at any time, and with Earth's current strength, it would be virtually impossible to defend against.
"Perhaps we should prepare in advance?"
"Iron Man, do you have any ideas?"
Wolverine, with his wolf-like claws, asked while cutting the fruit.
"This fruit is really good. When I go back, I'll ask Thor to send me some."
Tony ate another string of fruit:
"I think, perhaps after returning, I can learn from Wanxia and manufacture more robotic soldiers. At that time."
"Absolutely not!"
Tony was halfway through his sentence when George interrupted him.
"Tony, you need to understand that robots are controlled by programming, and many alien civilizations' technology is far advanced over ours."
If they crack your code, then all the robots you have manufactured will be immediately controlled by them, becoming enemies of Earth."
Or perhaps some criminal cracks your program, and without the need for an alien invasion, we'll be in trouble."
He doesn't want Tony to think about creating robots. Otherwise, he might end up with a program like Ultron or some other foolishly destructive AI that ruins the world and re-evolves humanity."
It's better to avoid such preventable crises.
"Whenever someone tries to win a war before it even starts, innocent people will sacrifice for it, and history has always been like that."
At this time, Captain America also spoke up.
He also didn't agree with Tony making some pre-planned actions for a war that hasn't even started, as it might become uncontrollable.
"All right, don't worry. I was just talking."
Tony shrugged and looked over to the balcony, gazing at the flying spacecraft outside.
George, noticing this, frowned.
Tony is very self-assured; he only changes his mind when he himself discovers that he was wrong, and usually doesn't listen to others' opinions.
Therefore, the seed of creating robots will eventually bear fruit in the future.
"That's not a big deal."
After thinking it over, George realized it might not be as serious as he initially thought.
Ultron primarily emerged because of Tony's research on the mind wand, and without it, Tony would not have been able to develop an artificial neural network for AI.
Moreover, Loki has now been imprisoned in Asgard, awaiting Odin's awakening and judgment. With the Chitauri invasion of Earth halted, Tony will not suffer any psychological trauma or develop such a strong sense of crisis.
Further thought suggests that even if Tony were to create those robots, it would be a long time from now. By then, he would likely have his power increased several more levels, making it easy to handle any situation.
About an hour later, Thor returned to the room.
"Father Odin has awakened, he said he wants to see you all and personally thank you for your help to Asgard!"
"He woke up at this time?"
George was taken aback for a moment, as he remembered it would be another day in the movie until Odin woke up.
"Does that mean the old man has been awake for a while and has just been pretending to be asleep."
At this moment, George couldn't help but have some guesses in his heart.
In the movie, when the Rainbow Bridge was smashed, Odin immediately woke up from his slumber and rushed over to hold onto Thor and Loki. There's no such thing as coincidence.
If it weren't for Loki's deliberate release, both Thor and Loki would have been fine. The only issue would be the destruction of the Rainbow Bridge, which could be repaired later on. It's not something that couldn't be fixed.
He would also get to reunite with his grown son and recognize his younger son's mistake.
Odin may not have expected Loki's thoughts to be so extreme, and by the end, he was unwilling to admit his own mistakes.
"No wonder he is the father of all gods who united nine realms. He's really a crafty old fox!"
George sighed silently in his heart and followed everyone to the meeting hall of the palace in Asgard.
It's true, Odin is not necessarily a good guy.
Of course not. If he were, he wouldn't have led Hela to unify nine realms and conquer countless kingdoms with countless golden treasures to build the current Asgard.
After sealing Hela away, he also concealed the facts of his campaigns and added a layer of deception to the paintings in the grand hall of Asgard.
And the Infinity Gauntlet in Odin's treasure vault, although fake, also indicates that Odin once definitely collected Infinity Stones, but for some reason gave up in the end.
The current peace is because he doesn't have many years left to live and wants to be a successor who maintains the status quo, rather than someone like Thor in his youth who likes to start wars.
However, he thinks it's no big deal. Whether Odin is good or bad, they helped Thor and saved the realm of Asgard. These are all solid facts.
