Watching the eerily appearing beam of light in the sky, Captain America and the others instinctively entered a combat stance.
Thor, however, smiled and said, "Don't be nervous, everyone. I think it must be that Heimdall saw that things have ended here and intends to bring me back."
Just as Thor finished speaking, a low and urgent voice came from the void.
The owner of the voice was none other than Heimdall: "Your Highness Thor."
"Asgard has suffered an invasion by unknown enemies."
"They are very strong, and they planted an inside agent in the prison beforehand. We are barely holding on!"
Hearing this, Thor's face instantly turned ashen: "What?! How is this possible? It has been less than 36 hours since we left the Bifrost Bridge, and Cul has already been defeated by Peter. Who else would attack Asgard at this time?"
Let alone Thor, even Peter was stunned at this moment.
Asgard under invasion?
In the original plot, this shouldn't have happened, right?
Could it be another butterfly effect caused by him activating the Chaos Magic inside Wanda ahead of time?
But what the hell does Wanda's awakening have to do with Asgard?
Just as Peter was scratching his head, Heimdall provided the answer: "According to my observations, the invaders appear to be the Dark Elves and... the Chitauri!"
Peter: ???
Peter never expected that things would suddenly develop to this extent.
How on Earth did that group of Dark Elves, who were trying to control the Aether Particle, also known as the Reality Stone, get mixed up with the Chitauri?
Under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be after the plot of Thor 2 ends, and after the warriors of the Heavenly Palace deliver the Reality Stone to The Collector, that Thanos would make a move on the Reality Stone?
Besides, even if the plot of Thor 2 were to start, the timing doesn't match up!
Don't the Dark Elves have to wait for the Convergence, which happens once every few thousand years, to overthrow the Nine Realms using the Aether Particle?
In his memory, this time should be a year and a half after the Battle of New York, right?
But right now, it's only been a little over a month since the Battle of New York!
What the hell is going on right now!
Noticing that Peter also looked confused, Thor let out a long sigh and said, "Peter, although I don't know exactly what happened, the situation is critical, and I must rush back to Asgard immediately. If possible..."
"Don't worry, I will go to Asgard with you!" Peter said before he could finish his sentence.
"I suspect this matter might not be simple! Even for the sake of Earth's safety, it is necessary for me to get to the bottom of this."
Peter was speaking from the heart.
He was truly worried that Thanos was plotting something in the shadows.
If it were just a rebellion by the Dark Elves, he wouldn't care what happened in Asgard.
After all, without the amplification of the Aether Particle, that bunch of idiots were not even as strong as Laufey, and Thor could easily handle them on his own.
But when it involves the Chitauri, or rather, the Thanos behind them, the situation is different.
This cunning old guy was quite cautious in the cinematic Universe of his previous life, waiting until Odin was completely dead before daring to make a move on Earth, fearing that Odin would risk his life to take him down together.
Now that he has actually ignored Odin and chosen to invade Asgard with the Dark Elves, there must be some unspeakable secret behind this.
"Good brother!" Thor excitedly punched Peter on the shoulder.
Sif also walked to their side, still clutching Excalibur tightly in her hand.
Seeing them like this, Captain America and Tony looked at each other and asked, "Do you need us to go and help as well?"
Peter shook his head.
"The mess here on Earth still needs you to handle it."
As soon as he finished speaking, Felicia jumped onto Peter's back from behind, wrapped her arms around his neck, and acted spoiled: "Handling the mess is enough for them... It's fine to take me along, right?"
"It just so happens that I haven't had enough fun with my newly acquired claws yet~"
Seeing her and Peter being so intimate, Gwen's lips moved, but in the end, she didn't say anything about wanting to go to Asgard with them.
Earth was in chaos because of Cul, and now was the time when she, as the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, needed to step forward to eliminate people's fear and pain.
The hero complex in her heart did not allow her to "selfishly" abandon these people to go on an adventure to Asgard with Peter.
Not just her, but Daisy and Natasha also wanted to follow Peter to Asgard, but since they hadn't directly clarified their relationship with Gwen and the others, it was hard for them to speak up in this situation, so they could only suppress their thoughts.
Thus, after some instructions, Peter took Thor, Sif, and Felicia onto the Bifrost Bridge.
Before leaving, Peter suddenly remembered something. He slapped his forehead, hurried back to the battlefield to search, and put the other hammers into his storage ring.
At critical moments, perhaps these hammers could produce some unexpected effects.
As for Gwen and the others, they chose, either actively or passively, to stay behind and complete the post-disaster reconstruction work on Earth.
...
As the light flashed, Peter and the others appeared once again in the magnificent Asgard.
Even though they hadn't been gone for long, Asgard had already changed drastically.
Everywhere, armies of Dark Elves and Chitauri were fighting against Asgardian soldiers, while Heimdall was struggling to maintain Asgard's defensive barrier with his giant sword, and was directing anti-aircraft units to launch interception strikes against the unique warships of the Dark Elves in the sky.
"Heimdall, what is the situation right now?"
As soon as Thor landed, he couldn't wait to swing his hammer. The hammer, wreathed in lightning, smashed a group of Chitauri Soldiers, and then he asked Heimdall in an urgent tone.
"We are not very clear about the specific situation. A corrupted Cursed Warrior suddenly appeared in the prison. That guy is wreaking havoc all over the Heavenly Palace, and no one is a match for him."
"Just as we were busy mobilizing troops to deal with him, those damn Dark Elves brought the Chitauri army and stormed in!"
"Also..." Speaking of this, Heimdall's words paused strangely.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "I didn't detect their tracks at the Bifrost Bridge, which means... they completely bypassed the Bifrost Bridge's defense system and took an unknown path."
"And this path... only one person knows about it."
Clang! The moment the words fell, Thor's hammer couldn't help but pause.
Sif's eyes dimmed because of this.
No one knew better than them who that person, the only one in all of Asgard who knew about this path, was.
It was none other than the brother Thor had been thinking about all this time — Loki!
