Just as everyone was feeling a bit scared, a commanding voice came: "Retreat!"
In a moment of dizziness, everyone was transported far away. Thor, clad in armor, appeared at the fracture in space, raising his long spear high. The forces of lightning and fire merged, transforming into the primitive new force of the universe. Then, he thrust the tip of the spear downward with force.
Instantly, a dense white light surged from the torn rift in space, slowly healing it.
Thor flew over and asked them, "Are you all alright?"
"There's a problem, Your Majesty, a very big problem!" JARVIS shouted, "To get them out of the danger zone, I had to increase acceleration. Most of the Iron Men are too fragile, and now they're not in good shape. Could you heal them?"
Thor nodded. He raised his long spear and waved it again, sending out a ripple of the Power of Light. The power representing the sprouting of life instantly activated the vitality within everyone's bodies, healing their injuries in an instant.
"The Asgard outpost is already established," Thor said, "I heard some commotion over here, so I came to check it out. Didn't expect you guys to start fighting already. Who came?"
"Wonder Woman, The Flash came to rescue them. But there was one particularly powerful one, it was he who shattered space," JARVIS replied.
"Not bad indeed," Thor said, "This way of cutting through space, it's the first time I've seen it. It's not like the God Clan using brute force, but rather a very sophisticated method of disassembling the space structure. This guy is quite skilled. Human bodies are too fragile and cannot withstand any spatial attacks. It's best to avoid him in the future, including you, Captain, you can't take even one of his hits."
If he hadn't seen the scene just now with his own eyes, Captain America would surely have been unconvinced. But now, he could only nod silently, thinking to himself: why does this Thor seem a bit different? When did the God of Thunder become so mature?
"Notify everyone, this outpost has been abandoned. Come with me to the Asgard outpost, many companions are already waiting for you there."
No one else objected either. This place was just a temporary post to begin with; otherwise, there wouldn't be so few people here. The subsequent action still requires the use of the Asgard outpost.
Now that Batman has moved Apocalypse Star here, you can't blame them for not following the rules, joining forces with Asgard.
There was originally a plan to combine forces, but it wasn't planned for so soon, at least a full-scale collision needed to occur first, then allies would join the fight. However, since Batman's side has a stable base on Apocalypse Star, if they want to counteract effectively, they can only rely on Asgard's power; otherwise, it would become a one-sided siege.
Everyone from the initial outpost followed Thor to the Asgard outpost. This place couldn't be considered an outpost anymore; it should be viewed as a frontline base.
Asgard has a lot of space warfare experience to draw upon. At this moment, a dwarf planet has been completely transformed into a base, with over six hundred fully equipped fleets encircling the entire star system. When the fleet shields are activated, a comprehensive protective shield is formed, tightly safeguarding the central planet.
Before landing, Captain America and the others noticed that there was actually a group of ordinary people working near a mountain range on the dwarf planet, and there were quite a few of them, seemingly in the hundreds. Just the logistical bases alone numbered in the dozens, totally incongruent with the God Clan's architecture.
He couldn't help but ask: "Why are there ordinary people here?"
"They are engineers," Thor replied, "installing a mobility system for the planet."
For a moment, Captain America didn't know where to start asking questions. Luckily, Thor was straightforward and said directly: "If there weren't so many people, we wouldn't bother making a planet a base. Hit and run is what we're good at. But since we need a planet as a base, we also need to get this planet moving, otherwise it's too cumbersome and doesn't fit Asgard's combat style."
"Wait, getting this planet moving?!"
"Yes, human engineers are installing a superluminal engine and teleportation device on this planet. For specific technical issues, ask Stark, I don't get it either," Thor said, waving his hand.
At the rear of the Iron Man team, Stark cleared his throat heavily, drawing everyone's attention. Then he casually said: "We've long had supermassive superluminal engines. And during this time, they haven't been idle; the technology for superluminal engines has already been deployed down to Level 2 ships, as you have seen before."
Captain America recalled for a moment. He had previously noticed that the human-made ships seemed to fly very fast here. To be precise, it's not that they fly fast; post-superluminal speed is equivalent to teleportation. In low superluminal state, you can still see a trace, but at high superluminal speed, it's indistinguishable from teleportation, just flashing to a point.
However, in the American Comic World, due to the existence of the God Clan and various demons and ghosts, the value of superluminal technology is greatly reduced. Just because ordinary humans can't observe superluminal teleportation doesn't mean the God Clan can't see it, nor does it mean they can't interfere. Although superluminal speed involves the principles of time, the power of the God Clan can reach this level too. Darkseid's Omega Ray can directly attack fleets in superluminal teleportation, and that's how two river-class escort ships were brought down.
Similarly, The Flash can also be pulled out of Divine Speed, as shown in multiple comics. So you can say, in the American Comic World, various levels of superluminal teleportation engines are foundational skills; pointing out this skill just barely enables you to survive in the universe, otherwise, even trivial foes could kick you around.
The human race can drive Earth to roam the cosmos unchecked, not really because the superluminal engines are so fantastic, but because the magical defense network is robust. That is truly top-tier cosmic technology and the human race's true advantage.
Upon hearing that superluminal engines are so commonplace in this universe, the various Iron Men felt complex emotions. Even at Asgard's base, they didn't have the time to bother Jarvis; everyone found a laboratory and delved in, skipping the post-war review meeting.
"Ahem, I think we can't go on like this," Main Universe Iron Man said in the group channel, "I absolutely cannot accept becoming the weak link on our side. But the fact is the gap in physical power between us and these big guys is too huge; the battlesuit cannot fully protect us, we need something stronger. What do you think?"
