"Ah~"
Lin Lie couldn't help but yawn. It was already early morning, and the daytime training had been too strenuous, causing him to go to bed early today. He had originally planned to get a good night's sleep, but unexpectedly, he encountered this kind of midnight assembly.
Although he had some complaints in his heart, Lin Lie still obediently came to the Command Center to assemble. After opening the door, Lin Lie discovered a crowd of people looking back at him.
It seemed like he was the last one to arrive.
"You're late, Lin Lie," Ji Shuangshuang couldn't help but facepalm. "All of us have been waiting for you here for three minutes."
"S-sorry," Lin Lie scratched his head awkwardly, and then quickly walked into the crowd.
"Alright, now that everyone is here, let's begin." Zheng Xian scanned the few people, then took out a thing about the size of a pen. Along with him pressing the button on it, the huge monitor behind Zheng Xian lit up.
"Just now, at exactly midnight, a message was transmitted from our nation's satellite located in space, indicating that seven unknown objects are rushing towards Earth at an extremely fast speed."
Along with Zheng Xian's explanation, related illustrative pictures also appeared on the monitor behind him. They were all data charts, none of which Lin Lie could understand.
"These objects are wrapped in a peculiar energy. Our satellites have no way to detect what the entity of the objects is, and can only rely on data to detect the landing point of these things."
Zheng Xian clicked the remote control again, and the picture on the monitor changed. It transformed into a 3D graphic of Earth, which he pulled out from the monitor. At the same time, seven light spots aimed at the graphic and smashed down.
"Among these, one smashed towards our nation, and the remaining six smashed towards other countries. Let's leave aside the other countries for now. The thing that smashed towards our nation has now landed in Shennongjia. We are very lucky that no one was injured as a result."
Zheng Xian said seriously, "We launched missiles to try to intercept them, but we failed."
"What exactly are these things that can actually block missile attacks?"
Lin Lie turned his head to look. The one speaking was Weather Witch, the captain of Dynasty, the first special squad of the Divine Spear Bureau. She was considered a veteran in the Divine Spear Bureau.
"Even if those things land, we still can't see the true identity of those things?"
"You can rest assured about this aspect." Zheng Xian clicked the remote control again. "The advance team has already sent back pictures of that thing."
The visuals on the monitor changed. After the new visuals appeared, everyone who saw them clearly was stunned.
In the photo, a huge meteor crater occupied the majority of the scene. The outer edge of the meteor crater was a pile of tilted charred remains. The original appearance of these charred remains should be trees, which are most abundant in Shennongjia.
Located in the middle of the meteor crater was precisely the entity that caused everything. A slender round rod was inserted into a stubby cylinder. No matter how you look at it, that thing resembled a hammer.
"Is that...a hammer?" A-Cheng couldn't help but say it out loud. It wasn't just him; everyone present at the scene thought so.
"I asked people from Kunlun." Zheng Xian lowered his arm. "They also don't know what this thing is, but they said it looks somewhat like Thor's hammer, Mjolnir. Of course, it only looks similar; the real Mjolnir doesn't look like this."
"Thor? If I remember correctly, isn't he a god of Asgard?" Weather Witch furrowed her brow. "I remember our newest ally seems to have some connection with Asgard, right? Can't we ask them to identify it?"
"We contacted them at the first moment we confirmed it." Zheng Xian nodded. "Although we were unable to contact Yang Le, we contacted his deputy Franklin Richards, and he will be here shortly."
"Before that, Three Emperors Squad, you are responsible for going to the scene to guard that hammer."
"Roger!" Ji Shuangshuang gave a response immediately. A-Cheng and Lin Lie behind her were slightly slower.
"Roger!" ×2
...
Yang Le stretched his neck. His current state wasn't very good. Anyone who was pulled out of sleep in the middle of the night probably wouldn't be in a good state.
But the one who woke him up was Heimdall. According to what he said, Odin was looking for him for important things. So, he still climbed out of bed and, guided by the Rainbow Bridge, arrived at Asgard.
What was different this time was that Yang Le, after getting off the Rainbow Bridge, unexpectedly arrived directly at the Throne Room of Asgard. Looking at Odin standing in his presence, Yang Le guessed that Odin must have directly used the Odinforce to change the Rainbow Bridge landing point.
It seemed like this business was indeed very important.
"The Seal of the Great Serpent has been broken." As soon as Odin saw Yang Le, he got straight to the point. These words made Yang Le swallow back the yawn he was about to let out.
"Isn't the Sky Hammer in Odin's Vault?"
"Odin's Vault has been robbed."
Question and answer, what he got in return were more question marks in Yang Le's head. He remembered that not long ago, Odin had solemnly sworn to him that Odin's Vault was the safest aspect in the Nine Realms.
Yang Le knew that there would always be a day when the Sky Hammer would appear in the world. He also didn't think that Odin's Vault could really hide the Sky Hammer until the end of time. But he didn't expect this day to come so quickly. It hadn't even been a week yet.
Looking at Odin's face, which seemed to have aged a lot, even if Yang Le had words of complaint, he couldn't bring himself to say them, let alone that he originally didn't have this thought.
"Two things were stolen from the Treasury in total. One is the Sky Hammer, and the other is the Casket of Ancient Winters." Odin covered his forehead. "It's Loki. She took away these two things."
"I estimate that she heard something from Laufey, and then was seduced by him to go to Odin's Vault to look for the Casket of Ancient Winters, wanting to investigate whether she is actually an Asgardian or not."
Odin revealed a wry smile. He said, "Originally, this was nothing much, but who would have thought? Loki is actually the first Sky Hammer Venerable in the Prophecy. I didn't expect that she is actually Skadi, the one who opened the Seal."
Yang Le was also speechless. Who would have thought of such a coincidental time? They were clearly being very cautious about everything. Now, Yang Le could be considered to have realized what is meant by "man proposes, God disposes."
"Now is not the time to be dispirited." Yang Le crossed his arms. "We should shift our attention to the business that is about to happen."
"You're right, child." Odin sighed, forcing himself to cheer up. "Sitting here idly won't solve the business by itself. We have to think of a method to deal with the following business."
Yang Le didn't respond. This business of the Great Serpent, if you say it's simple, it's simple; if you say it's difficult, it's also difficult. As long as Odin is willing to part with sending Thor out, then everything will be readily solved.
To put it simply, the Great Serpent is like a mechanism monster in a game. He is not particularly strong, but his unique mechanism can make him become a particularly troublesome BOSS.
And Thor is like a one-time use item in the game, which can solve the Great Serpent, but once used, he's gone.
