Chapter 619 Cicada, Mantis, and Oriole
Yang Le couldn't help but grow even more curious. SHIELD, while a secret organization that couldn't be known by ordinary people, wasn't *this* secretive in the countless parallel universes.
Yang Le immediately thought of two possibilities. One was that something unexpected happened to SHIELD, forcing them to hide themselves. The other was that someone had eliminated SHIELD and deliberately concealed its existence.
As for the possibility of SHIELD not existing at all, Yang Le had considered it, but the Divine Spear Bureau was currently thriving. There was no reason for the original organization created by Imhotep to not exist, right?
‘This is a bit interesting.’ Yang Le nodded inwardly. After being in this universe for so long, he had finally encountered something interesting.
The answer to this matter was very simple to find. He could just transform into Alien X or ask Eternity, and he would immediately know the answer. But doing so was obviously meaningless.
Yang Le had this idea when playing games. You could use the wheelchairs given in some games, but you couldn't use external cheats (referring to cheat engines).
Unless the game deliberately tried to be annoying, Yang Le always adhered to this idea. Otherwise, what was the fun in playing games?
Although this matter was tricky now, it wasn't impossible to solve it himself. It was just that this matter obviously needed to be considered carefully in the long term.
For now, he should first handle the matters at hand before considering anything else.
Yang Le raised his head. Time continued to flow even as he was thinking. Onslaught had long since completed the brainwashing of Hyperion, and their figures had long since disappeared. He estimated that they were probably already in America by now.
Having confirmed the true identity of the mastermind and also beaten Hyperion to vent his anger, the matters here could be considered temporarily settled. Next, he should get busy with the affairs of those rookie heroes.
The rookie heroes Yang Le was talking about were the Fantastic Four and their group trapped in Old New York. Because he hadn't carefully investigated their state, Yang Le didn't know how they were doing now. They shouldn't have starved to death, right?
First, he sent a message to Gwen to ensure her safety, and also sent the group photo he took after beating Hyperion to Gwen. Only then did Yang Le fly towards Old New York City.
This scared the simple polar bear mother and child. How could their compatriot suddenly turn into a greenskin big guy? And he could even fly?
Before the two beasts could recover from their shock, they saw a Rainbow Bridge suddenly shoot out from the air, directly piercing into the ice surface. The two beasts had never seen such a spectacle before and immediately fled with wails.
The Rainbow Bridge, constantly impacting the ground, scattered the accumulated snow on the ice surface. Before long, a burly shadow walked out of the Rainbow Bridge. Winged helmet, metal armor, it was Thor, the Thor wielding the God Hammer Mjolnir.
Thor strode out of the Rainbow Bridge's range. The Rainbow Bridge behind him also gradually shrank until it disappeared. He tapped his helmet and frowned as he looked at the boundless expanse of white land.
"Heimdall didn't make a mistake, did he? Where did he send me? Is this still Midgard?"
As he spoke, continuous white vapor spewed out from his air. This reminded him of the time when he fought against the Frost Giants. Thinking of that, he became thirsty for wine.
Wine warmed the body, of course, this bit of temperature wouldn't make Thor feel cold. This was the same principle as quenching thirst by thinking of plums. Thor just wanted to drink wine to warm himself up whenever he saw snow.
He had just given Heimdall a jar of Asgardian wine, and he hadn't even gotten a single sip himself. Coupled with the scene in front of him evoking his emotions, Thor was indeed a bit thirsty.
Shaking his head, he threw the inappropriate idea out of his head. He still had the business given to him by Odin, King of Asgard. It wouldn't be too late to go back and have a good drink after finishing the business.
But looking at this vast expanse of white land, Thor also felt a headache. Would there really be a normal Asgardian willing to stay in this bird-shit aspect?
Odin had told him long ago that he was sent out this time to find a guy who possessed divine power similar to his older brother who had died long ago. So Thor naturally assumed that the one he was looking for this time was also an Asgardian.
Because of this, Thor naturally used his old Asgardian thinking to speculate about the other party. Anyway, he himself wouldn't like to live in this ice and snow land.
But Heimdall's eyes were very sharp. Nothing in the Nine Realms could escape his eyes. Thor didn't think that Heimdall had made a mistake. It could only mean that the other party had stayed here before, but had now left.
Thor released his right hand holding Mjolnir and bent down to scribble on the snowfield.
It wasn't that he was inspired by this ice and snow land, but as the current Crown Prince of Asgard, he could also be called both civil and military.
His martial prowess went without saying. Just talking about his literary side, Thor had been forced to learn a lot of runes and magic.
What he was doodling on the ground now was a simple tracking magic, used to detect the Asgardians around this area. This magic was very simple, and Thor finished drawing it in no time.
The runes were drawn, and the magic had also been cast, but Thor had an even bigger headache. According to the magic display, there had indeed been another Asgardian existence besides Thor himself in this vicinity, but the other party had disappeared out of thin air.
Thor stood by the water pit where Hyperion had once floated, feeling like his head was twice as big. According to the magic display, the last place where the Asgardian stayed was here.
Helpless, Thor could only expand the search range of the magic, no longer limited to the Asgardians. Only then did he finally discover something useful.
According to the magic display, there had been six creatures, including that Asgardian, staying by this water pit. Among them, one had been floating in the water from beginning to end. After the Asgardian left, another creature stood in his position for a while.
After that, that other creature flew to the side of two creatures in the distance. The three creatures began to pace around nearby. Then, another creature flew over and arrived in front of the water pit.
The last creature to arrive took away the one in the water pit. Then, the three in the distance flew away, one of them ran away, and finally, he, Thor, arrived here.
This back-and-forth made Thor's head ache. He simply didn't want to think so much. He decided to first go and take a look in the direction where the three creatures had flown away. After all, the three creatures had all flown away in the same direction, which looked very suspicious.
Moreover, this was also his only clue. If he didn't follow, Thor had no other ideas now.
With a casual wave, he summoned Mjolnir into his hand. Thor grabbed the strap at the end of the hammer and began to swing it. When the hammer had swung out afterimage, he suddenly flung it forward.
"Whoosh!"
Accompanied by the sound of air being torn, Thor was pulled out by the hammer. His speed wasn't slow, and in less than a minute, he could see land.
