American Comics: BOSS Invasion

That's right, Qi Shan's goal from the very beginning was to rescue Iron Man.

Iron Man is indeed one of the smartest people in the universe; even Thanos praised him as someone cursed by knowledge.

Even Qi Shan didn't expect that after only two battles against demons, Tony would develop targeted weapons with considerable destructive power.

Previously, Qi Shan was troubled about what to use against the Millennium Earl in this world where there were no holy beings.

If he used the Infinity Stones, there were still three on Earth, and he could try using them in a critical moment, which might be helpful.

He really didn't expect Iron Man to give him such a big surprise.

It was perfect for borrowing Iron Man's brain legitimately, following the SHIELD cooperation model.

Tony was also more accustomed to this approach.

When facing SHIELD, he constantly showcased his superior intelligence.

He used methods like flaunting his equipment and hacking skills to make SHIELD accept his equipment upgrades condescendingly, indirectly increasing SHIELD's strength.

Previously, Alice's appearance had given him a setback.

The proud Tony, even if he didn't say it, definitely held a grudge in his heart, constantly thinking about getting back at her.

Therefore, Ichimaru Gin simply expressed this idea, and Tony immediately agreed arrogantly.

Tony might have already perceived the psychological game involved, but with his personality, he wouldn't back down even if he noticed it.

Besides, technological innovation was as easy as eating beans for him; as long as it didn't affect the interests of his group, providing some external support wasn't a big deal.

After all, Stark Industries Group was an arms company.

Isn't it natural to buy and sell equipment and weapons?

Muspelheim.

On a scorched earth-like continent, terrifying heat radiated constantly.

Thor, the God of Thunder, was tied up like a dumpling with thick iron chains, hanging diagonally on a spiked pillar.

Not far in front of him was a lava pool that stretched to the horizon in the past, with lava rolling and bubbling from time to time.

Thor suddenly woke up and glanced at his surroundings, sighing in relief, "Good, I'm still here!"

After the Dark Elf invasion, he broke up with Jane, and Asgard also experienced a series of troubling events.

Disheartened, Thor left Asgard and traveled to other worlds alone.

Originally, he just wanted to relax, but while traveling, Heimdall suddenly disappeared, causing Thor to be trapped in Muspelheim.

Later, he was discovered by Surtur, the fire giant and Asgard's old enemy, and the two fought a few rounds.

Thor was captured after running out of strength.

It wasn't that Thor wasn't trying hard, but the fire giant's terrain advantage was too great.

Surtur, as a fire giant, was like the frost giants, an ancient demon race.

Unlike the frost giants, who relied on their powerful force and large numbers, Surtur relied on his immortality.

As a fire giant, he could be resurrected infinitely wherever there was fire, and he was directly immune to physical attacks.

Thor's hammer could only create a hole at most, not causing any pain or itch, and it would recover in the blink of an eye.

The fire giant's body temperature was extremely high, and if his fist landed, even Thor would be burned.

If it were an ordinary human, they would probably evaporate directly!

So, even the mighty Thor was defeated after a few rounds of fighting.

Thor suddenly opened his palm, summoning Mjolnir, but waited for a long time without hearing anything.

A huge head slowly emerged from the lava pool.

A hoarse, almost roaring voice vibrated in the air: "Don't waste your energy! The iron chains binding you are magical artifacts that isolate your aura. With them, Mjolnir won't sense your call."

Thor curled his lips: "I have to say, you did a good job. Congratulations on capturing the great war god, Thor. Cheer, rejoice!"

"Wait, do you know what happened to Asgard? Why did I keep having the same dream?" Thor asked seriously.

"That's a precognitive dream, the power of gods and demons!" the fire giant said. "It seems you have already seen the end of fate!"

"No, what I saw wasn't you! But Frieza's army!"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Thor's expression changed drastically.

If his dream was real, then Asgard was probably already a ruin.

Thor had personally experienced Frieza's power in London.

He could destroy the Earth with a wave of his hand, so destroying Asgard wouldn't be difficult.

Especially with his father Odin gone.

That's right, he already knew.

But he had no intention of exposing his brother's deception, after all, it was the throne he had longed for.

If possible, he didn't want to return to Asgard.

But now he had to go back.

"Surtur!"

The fire giant raised his head slightly.

"I heard that your power comes from the crown, where is it?" Thor asked directly.

"Naturally, it is embedded on my head. The crown was born for me and is the source of my power," the fire giant said.

Thor wriggled like a worm, turning himself around and looking back.

"So that's what it is, to be honest, I always thought it was your deformed eyebrow."

Lightning crackled around Thor.

"Let me tell you a secret! For a long time, everyone has thought that my power comes from Mjolnir, but in fact, Mjolnir is just a magical artifact that helps me control my own power."

Thor raised his head slightly, and the lightning around him became even more dazzling.

"My power comes from within!"

Boom!

The electric light surged, dancing wildly like a spirit snake.

The thick iron chains binding him shattered almost immediately, shooting in all directions.

Thor skillfully somersaulted and landed on the ground, then gathered dazzling electric light in his hand and slammed it hard on the ground.

Crack!

Thick thunderclouds formed out of thin air, and huge lightning struck Thor, making his armor brand new.

Then the ground exploded, and Mjolnir appeared in front of Thor, piercing through space.

He grabbed it and showed the fire giant a smile.

"Surtur, it's time for another battle! This time I will knock the crown off your head! And lock it in the vault of Asgard forever!"

Boom!

The earth erupted with lava, and the fire giant charged up with the Twilight Sword.
