"God, is this spatial leap?!
To be able to achieve a spatial leap with just one's own ability, this is simply unbelievable!"
His vision shifted, and he found Big Pikachu already appearing on the streets of the town. Dr. Selvig was filled with disbelief.
Even with Earth's current technological level, spatial leap is a technology that only appears in science fiction movies. Yet, this boy named Son Goku had accomplished it.
Without using any machines or any protective measures, Goku had led them safely from their base fifty miles away to the streets of the town. As one of the world's top physicists, he truly felt this was utterly unscientific.
Equally bewildered were Coulson and Hawkeye.
Although not physicists, as top agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, this was also their first time experiencing this kind of "teleportation."
The most composed was Thor.
Asgard's technology far surpasses Earth's, and having lived for 1,500 years, he has seen it all.
Especially the Bifrost of Asgard, which represents the pinnacle of this technology.
It can teleport Asgardian armies to any place in the Nine Realms, or even beyond the Nine Realms, with little problem.
Although the Nine Realms are connected by the World Tree, the actual distances between them in the universe are not short.
If traveling normally by spaceship, using star systems and wormholes, it would take about a year and a half to travel from one realm to another.
That's under relatively smooth circumstances.
After all, there are major empires at war in the universe, and many ruthless raiders and mercenaries roam freely.
In a slower scenario, it could take seven or eight years.
"Alright, this should be faster."
Goku, carrying Mjolnir, leaped onto the roof of the pickup truck.
The Apparition he was using now wasn't actually pure Apparition anymore.
It was an improved version created by Dumbledore and Zeref, combining Apparition with Teleportation magic.
The current Apparition was faster, could carry more people, and was free of the noise of the previous Apparition.
It also eliminated the uncomfortable feeling of being squeezed during the process.
Normal Apparition, whether for oneself or those being carried, felt like being forcibly squeezed out of a tube.
Many wizards disliked using Apparition for travel for this reason.
But the newly improved Apparition was very comfortable.
"This is much faster, saving the time it would take to travel fifty miles."
Coming to his senses, Coulson started the car and drove along the streets of the small town, quickly arriving at the house Jane and the others had rented.
He can transform into a giant ape and wipe out an army, and he can resurrect the dead.
So, the ability to teleport shouldn't be too surprising.
Look, there's even Thor sitting in the back seat.
Hearing the car stop at the door, Jane and Darcy, who had been waiting, immediately rushed out.
They were somewhat bewildered to see that not only Thor had returned, but also the confiscated research data and equipment.
What, is Dr. Selvig that influential?
If he's really that influential, why were those S.H.I.E.L.D. agents so forceful and unyielding this afternoon?
After Dr. Selvig's explanation, they realized that it wasn't Dr. Selvig who was influential, but rather the Goku who jumped off the pickup truck.
They could only sigh inwardly, "The boy who can eat fifty-two Big Mac family meals and fly on a cloud, is indeed extraordinary."
"Mr. Goku, the goods have been delivered. We'll be staying there for a while. If you need any help, feel free to contact us anytime."
After unloading the documents and equipment from the vehicle, Coulson and Hawkeye prepared to leave.
The director had instructed them to cooperate and help Goku as much as possible, to leave a good impression.
However, they couldn't completely ignore the situation; they still needed to know about Hammer and Thor.
Therefore, they couldn't just leave and return to headquarters.
"Don't rush off. I just caught a big fish in the sea. You can stay and eat with me."
Goku pulled out his small box.
He had a pretty good impression of Coulson; anyway, the fish he caught was big enough for everyone to share.
"Oh, that's a real honor. We all love eating seafood."
Upon hearing Goku's invitation, Coulson's eyes lit up, and he immediately agreed.
He actually wanted to stay to learn more about Thor and the hammer, and also hoped to interact more with Goku to understand his situation.
However, he hadn't had a good excuse and was afraid of causing Goku to misunderstand.
But since Goku had taken the initiative to invite him, he naturally wouldn't refuse.
Hawkeye glanced at Coulson and smiled and nodded.
He didn't like fish, but right now, the mission had to take priority.
"I see there are barbecue tools in the house. How about we go to the yard to grill some fish? I like grilled salmon," Darcy suggested excitedly, raising his hand.
"It would be even better with some beer."
Selvig also smiled and nodded.
The crisis was over, and everything was back. Now, relaxing, having some grilled fish and beer seemed like a good idea.
Thor and Selvig naturally had no objections.
Thor felt guilty for causing his father's death, while Selvig wanted to drink even more.
Jane, on the other hand, was in a good mood and wanted to celebrate because she had retrieved the research data and equipment.
So, the group quickly moved the heavy grill left by the landlord out of the house and found plenty of charcoal for barbecuing.
Coulson and Hawkeye went to the store across the street and bought several cases of beer, while Darcy and Jane took out frozen steaks and sausages from the refrigerator to go with it.
After everything was set up, they looked at the box in Goku's hand.
According to Thor, Goku was a wizard, and his box was a magical item that could store many things.
The big fish Goku caught should be in the box.
"The fish is a bit big, it won't fit in this yard, I'll put it up here first!"
An anti-gravity magic circle appeared beneath his feet, and Goku flew to the air above the yard, then reached a hand into the box and pulled hard.
A nearly thirty-meter-long, 150-pound blue whale appeared in the air above the entire yard.
However, thanks to the anti-gravity magic circle, the blue whale didn't fall, but was held aloft by Goku.
"Which part do you want to eat first?" Goku, standing on the anti-gravity magic circle, holding up the thirty-meter-long blue whale, asked Coulson and the others below, drooling.
This was also the first time he had eaten such a large fish; the fish at Baozi Mountain had never been this big.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's a blue whale, right?" Darcy stared, looking at the enormous fish that had completely obscured their house, and couldn't help but mutter to Jane beside her.
Jane's expression wasn't much better, or rather, it was normal for everyone in the yard below, except for Thor, to be awake. Everyone in the town who was out and about, and who had just seen the blue whale floating in the air, was also there.
"I love shark fin!" Thor shouted. He'd seen fish that were thirty meters long and three hundred meters long, so he wasn't that surprised.
"No, Mr. Goku, this fish isn't good. We don't eat this around here. How about we get something else? I'll have someone go buy some good fish right away!" Coulson shouted immediately. This is an endangered species; we should try to save it if we can.
If we really can't save it, then forget it.
It's better for the fish to be endangered than for people to be endangered.
"Yes, yes, this fish isn't good. Let's get something better.
Look, my steak is pretty good."
Jane and Darcy quickly persuaded Goku, like they were coaxing a child.
And Goku was indeed a child. After hearing that the fish wasn't good, he immediately changed his mind: "Then I'll put it back in the sea and get another one."
His figure vanished instantly.
But before Coulson and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, Goku reappeared.
This time, he was holding up a... 20-meter-long whale shark.
