Chapter 750 Frog Kid
Yang Le patted Balder on the shoulder, signaling him not to lower himself to the level of this playboy. They still had a lot of serious business to attend to.
Balder smiled slightly, indicating that it wouldn't waste much time. Seeing this, Yang Le didn't stop him anymore, feeling he had already done his part by trying to intervene.
"What? Did I strike a nerve?" Tony completely forgot his pitiful demeanor from just a moment ago, reverting to his usual playboy persona.
"People these days don't even respect Gods anymore." Balder shook his head, then casually pointed a finger at Tony. A white light ray shot straight at Tony. Balder, being a God with measure, ensured that even Xue Xi, who was standing right next to Tony, was not affected.
Hit by the light ray, Tony's body stiffened, and then he was enveloped in white mist. When the white mist dissipated, Tony had been transformed into a frog.
"Tony?!" As someone standing almost right next to Tony, Xue Xi directly felt the process of the person beside her disappearing. She only felt an unusual heat, and then Tony's body seemed to shrink, slowly moving away from her side.
Xue Xi looked along the trajectory where Tony had disappeared and only saw a... frog in Tony's position.
"This is!?" Xue Xi's eyes widened. She quickly noticed the unusualness. The frog in front of her was wearing the clothes Tony had been wearing, albeit a proportionally smaller version.
Furthermore, there was a small tuft of fur on the frog's chin, looking exactly like the beard Tony had recently grown.
"Ribbit?" Frog Tony raised his front hand and looked at it, then started shouting.
"Ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit ribbit!"
"Stark turned into a frog?" Dan Bi covered her cheeks and exclaimed, but judging by her expression, she wasn't scared at all but rather found it amusing.
Frog transformation magic. Yang Le was very familiar with this move. In his memory, Thor had once been turned into a frog. Later, it seemed because Frog Thor was quite popular, this move and character often made appearances.
"Don't be nervous." Balder comforted Zheng Xian, who looked slightly pale. "I'm just giving a slight punishment. This magic can only last for three hours at most. Of course, if he sincerely repents, he can turn back immediately."
A few drops of cold sweat trickled down Zheng Xian's forehead. Asking this playboy to lower his head and admit his mistake was probably harder than ascending to heaven. Forget it, let him suffer a bit; he'd turn back in three hours at most anyway.
"Let's continue discussing serious business." Balder waved his hand, steering the topic back on track. "Regarding Asgard's suggestion, may I ask this..."
"Zheng Xian." Zheng Xian quickly introduced himself. "I am the Director of the Divine Spear Bureau of Earth. Just call me Zheng Xian."
"Alright, Director Zheng Xian." Balder nodded. "I'm not sure if you accept Asgard's suggestion. God King Odin is willing to respect your intentions, but please also consider carefully, Earth cannot currently withstand the revenge of a world."
"We can agree to Asgard's suggestion." Zheng Xian agreed very decisively. If it was a hot potato he couldn't hold, he might as well pass it on. As the Director of the Divine Spear Bureau, he had this right, but there were still some things he needed to negotiate.
"However, I hope Asgard can assist with the interrogation of Laufey. We want to know why he returned to attack Earth, as this is related to our safety."
"Understandable." Balder nodded. "That's a reasonable request. Even if you didn't ask, we would still interrogate Laufey. We will also share the findings of the interrogation with Earth, as you are also stakeholders."
Since that was the case, Zheng Xian had nothing more to say. The two sides shook hands and happily settled the business. However, Laufey wasn't on this transport aircraft. To complete the handover, they would need to wait for the transport aircraft to land, which meant returning to Ring Fortress.
Balder waved his hand, indicating it wouldn't be that much trouble. He simply had Zheng Xian notify the transport aircraft detaining Laufey, instructing them not to panic, and then he cast magic and disappeared.
Before Zheng Xian could figure out where Balder had gone, a cry of surprise came from the communication device. It turned out that Balder had directly teleported to the transport aircraft detaining Laufey using magic.
Just like that, without waiting for landing, Balder took Laufey and was whisked away by the Rainbow Bridge. This ability to appear and disappear without a trace made Zheng Xian extremely envious. If the Divine Spear Bureau could also possess this technology, that would be wonderful.
Human development still has a long way to go.
…
Meanwhile, as Zheng Xian was sighing, Balder had already returned to Asgard with Laufey. After the dazzling rainbow dissipated, what appeared before them was a group of fully armed Asgardian army.
They were all there to escort Laufey. Although he was now a defeated general, he was still the Giant King who had fought with Odin for thousands of years. The respect due to him still had to be given.
Laufey sneered at these Asgardian soldiers. His face was devoid of fear, as if he were not a prisoner, but a victorious general. Of course, one would need to ignore his injury and the special shackles of the Divine Spear Bureau on his body.
"Let's go, Laufey, the great Odin is still waiting for you." Balder nudged Laufey, who remained silent and dragged his injured body step by step onto the prison carriage.
The prison carriage, pulled by Big Horn Ram, was large enough to hold even a giant. With an escort leading the way and another bringing up the rear, plus Asgardian Prince Balder accompanying the prison carriage, Laufey's status as a prisoner was quite impressive.
The procession made its way to Asgard City in a grand manner. Many Asgardians lined both sides of the main road, eager to see what Asgard's nemesis, the current Leader of the Frost Giants, looked like.
Laufey didn't feel ashamed. He sat upright in the prison carriage. Although he was covered in shackles and had a broken hand, no one would doubt his identity as the Giant King.
As the gate of Asgard opened, Laufey finally arrived in the presence of the God King Odin. God King Odin, fully armored and holding the Divine Spear Gungnir, stood not far away.
"Long time no see, old friend." Odin spoke first, as if they were not enemies who wished each other dead, but rather old friends who hadn't seen each other in years.
"It has indeed been many years since our last fight." Laufey stood up, the shackles on his body clanking.
He scanned his surroundings, as if searching for someone, and after a moment, he asked, "Where's your best son? I haven't fought you for many years since that kid was able to go to the battlefield."
"Thor has his own business to attend to." Odin's expression was serious. "Old friend, I happen to have many things to ask you, and I hope you can answer them for me."
