Chapter 23 - Chapter 23

"Where did they go?"

"This time, it didn't feel like Tobi's portal ability. It felt like something pulled them away."

"Wasn't it due to Convergence?"

"It should be, but this seems quite different. Look! That is the portal caused by Convergence."

At this moment, Thor, Darcy, and Erik were left complaining to each other as they discussed Tobi and Jane's disappearance.

But they were quickly distracted by several vans that arrived in their spot.

"Dr Erik, you shouldn't be here."

Nick Fury walked out of the van as he spoke, obviously recognizing Erik.

"Who are you?"

Erik narrowed his eyes and asked.

"Director of Shield, Nick Fury! Since you are here, can you give us some intel about this situation?" Fury asked while walking in front of him.

"Shield!"

Erik had obviously heard about Shield, but he never expected to meet the director here.

"This is a supernatural phenomenon called Convergence. It is an alignment of Nine Realms. You should've heard about them from Norse Mythology."

Erik answered.

Fury didn't look surprised; instead, he asked.

"Where is Dr. Jane?"

Erik's expression turned pale as he said.

"She was taken into another dimension. They should've returned by now."

At this moment, a flash of light appeared in mid-air as Tony Stark, wearing Iron Man Armor, flew down.

"Wow! Iron Man!"

Darcy's eyes lit up as she shouted with some excitement.

"Nick, you have called me to one hell of a place. While coming here, I saw three portals to three different places. One had ice peaks, another had fiery mountains, and the last one looked quite dark."

"Those are Jotunheim, Muspelheim, and Svartalfheim." Thor spoke.

"Jarvis, do you have any information on these names?" Tony asked.

"Sir, they are recorded in Norse Mythology." Jarvis answered.

"Wait, you are saying these portals lead just to mythological places?" Tony sounded quite stunned.

"Tony, we have seen much more than this. Don't tell me this alone scares you!"

Fury spoke.

"Sir, we have set a perimeter around this place. We just received a message from Natasha. She is returning with Captain."

Coulson spoke.

"Erik! Jane and Tobi haven't returned yet. Do you think something went wrong with them?" Darcy turned towards Erik, asking with a worried look.

"Don't worry, Darcy! That man knows something similar to Space Magic. He can return at any moment if he wants to."

Thor's words calmed her down, but she still looked nervous.

After all, Jane was pulled into two portals, one after another.

"Tobi! Is that man with the mask?" Fury murmured the name and turned towards Erik, asking.

"You know him?" Darcy was surprised.

"Not exactly! I've only heard of him. What was he doing here?" Fury asked.

"We don't know. He suddenly appeared in front of our car, and we almost hit him."

Darcy shrugged his shoulders.

"Who is Tobi?" Tony asked.

"He is one of them." Fury replied, without giving him much explanation.

"I can't stay here. Erik, Darcy, I need to find my hammer. I know the direction to that place. So, goodbye!"

Thor shouted in frustration and turned his head towards his new friends as he bid them farewell.

"Hammer? Are you talking about the Hammer with a short handle?" Fury narrowed his eyes.

He didn't think this man calling out for his hammer was a coincidence.

Thor's eyes lit up, and he said.

"Do you know where it is?"

"First of all, I need to know your identity." Fury replied.

"My name is Thor Odinson. I am God of…."

Before Thor could complete his sentence, Darcy chimed in.

"Hammer!"

"Thunder! I am God of Thunder."

Thor turned towards Darcy and screamed.

"Wow! That's quite a surprise! So, God of Hammer, can you tell me why you are on Earth?" Tony asked.

"I am God of Thunder, Tin Man." Thor glared at Tony, but he didn't do anything.

On the other hand, Fury spoke.

"We recently got some information that a war will start in New Mexico. Now we are finding a man from an alien planet in this place."

"So, tell me, Thor, are you here to bring war?"

Hearing his words, Thor hurriedly shook his head.

"No, of course not...I….I was banished by my father. But I am sure. Once I get my Hammer back, I can return to Asgard."

"And, I need to take the hammer back. Convergence means the new war could start between Nine Realms at any moment."

"As the protector of Nine Realms, I need to get my power back. So friend, if you know where my hammer is, please take me there!"

Although Thor's voice was quite loud, he sounded a lot polite than Fury expected.

But he shook his head and asked.

"You are the Thor Odinson. I can't think of a reason why your father would banish you to Earth."

Hearing this question, Thor felt ashamed to answer it, but a new voice rang from behind.

"Because he almost started a war between Jotumheim and Asgard. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't even have one-tenth of his father's strength and wisdom."

"And, his father is too old. He is powerful, but once he uses that power, his body will collapse. So, his Old Man banished him to Earth, to teach him a lesson."

When they turned around, Darcy's eyes lit up as she saw Tobi.

"Tobi!"

But when she saw unconscious Jane on his arm, a look of horror appeared on her face.

"Jane! What happened to Jane?"

.........…..

A Few Minutes Ago;

"Where are we?"

Jane asked, without leaving his embrace.

She didn't want to admit it, but she was scared. She almost got pulled into a portal before, and now, she has been pulled into one.

Tobi wasn't even able to react.

"It seems to be a different space, not one of the Nine Realms."

Tobi knew exactly what place this was, but he still acted as if he didn't.

"Can we leave here?" Jane asked, clutching the corner of his robe.

"How about we explore this place? It feels like there is space between dimensions. It's unique."

Tobi said.

Hearing that, Jane's eyes lit up.

As a scientist, she loved research, and with a bodyguard like Tobi, she didn't need to worry about anything.

Suddenly, she found that all of her fear had disappeared as she slowly left his embrace.

"So, you have to be afraid of something to embrace me?"

Tobi murmured.

Although his voice was low, Jane still heard him, and a blush appeared on her face.

She decided to ignore him and look around. She had managed to hold a device that was measuring the gravitational field around her.

At this moment, the readings were off the chart, but they were in a stable gravitational field.

As she walked around, a red liquid flashed near her and suddenly engulfed her.

"Jane!"

She heard Tobi's voice, but the intense energy flowed through her body. As her body couldn't accept this energy, she collapsed on the spot.

'Damn it! This isn't the real Reality Stone. So, why did it get attracted to Jane? Couldn't it have come to me?'

'What should I do? To make sure this stone has similar powers to Reality Stone with ninety-five less energy, Kurama used a lot of his power in its raw form.'

'Jane's body doesn't have magical energies like the Ancient One, and without Kurama's mark on her soul, this energy would dry her body.'

'No, I need to do something.'

Tobi's expression became serious.

He never expected this to happen.

Since Kurama controlled the Space-Time of Nine Realms using his Dimensional powers to bring forward Convergence, it shouldn't have involved Jane.

But somehow, she still got caught by the fake Reality Stone. It's almost like she was fated with Reality Stone.

The problem was that this fate would lead to her early death.

As a scientist and researcher, how could she not have regular check-ups?

The reason why she got late-stage cancer all of a sudden was mainly due to prolonged exposure to Reality Stone.

Reality Stone was still an Infinity Stone. Even this Reality Stone was at least a Finite Stone.

It was still a stone that could change reality to the user's Will. It wasn't something a regular human could hold.

Thinking about it, he decided to give his own Chakra to Jane.

This wasn't a proper method since she hadn't signed a contract with Kurama. But right now, he needed to stabilize her situation as soon as possible.

The only way to truly change her situation was to use his normal Chakra in a method to create a Chakra Seed.

He knew this method.

By actively using the energy from the other Reality Stone in his hand, he started condensing a Chakra Seed in her stomach.

His goal was simple.

Forge a Chakra Seed in her body, and absorb the energy from the Reality Stone into her Chakra Seed.

And, the Chakra from Chakra Seed would slowly enhance her vitality, helping her recover from her current situation.
