The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics

The once cloudless night sky was now covered in dark clouds, with thunder rumbling intermittently, finally giving way to a drizzle.

Pedestrians who were originally shopping couldn't help but quicken their pace, while also complaining under their breath, as many people's planned itineraries were ruined by the rain.

Inside the abandoned park cordoned off with caution tape, Yang Le stood in front of the Dark Elf he had controlled, digesting the information he had finally obtained.

The Great Serpent God, Kur, is actually Odin's brother, the previous King of the Gods, and also the previous legitimate heir to Asgard.

That's right, Odin's throne was seized from his brother, but not because Odin coveted the throne that belonged to his brother.

It was all because after ascending the throne, the Great Serpent became tyrannical. He ruled Asgard with fear and violence, and wanted to conquer the Ten Realms with his national policy.

At that time, Asgard's iron cavalry would bring a storm of blood and carnage to the Ten Realms, which was something Odin and the vast majority of Asgardians did not want to see.

So Odin raised a rebel army to resist the Great Serpent's tyranny. After a brutal war, Odin finally overthrew the Great Serpent's rule.

But this was not the end. After everything seemed calm, Odin received a prophecy: his son Thor would eventually die at the hands of the Great Serpent, but at the same time, Thor would also kill the Great Serpent.

His brother and his flesh and blood would perish together, which was something no one wanted to see.

Odin was almost driven mad. He racked his brains but couldn't think of a way to prevent this tragedy from happening. So he offered one of his eyes to the World Tree and endured hardships, hoping the World Tree could give him an answer.

Unfortunately, the result was not what he wished for. Odin did not get a win-win solution. He could only delay time, delay the time when Thor and the Great Serpent would meet.

Odin sealed the Great Serpent and destroyed all records related to the Great Serpent, ordering the entire Nine Realms not to have any more information related to the Great Serpent.

Thor grew up in this environment. For thousands of years, he never knew he had an uncle. Not only him, but the new generation of Asgardians probably don't even know about the existence of the Great Serpent.

Yang Le came back to his senses. The drizzle had turned into a heavy rain at some point. Bean-sized raindrops hit his body, making a crackling sound.

Raindrops slid off his body, flowing along the dark battle suit to form small streams that flowed to the ground, forming a small puddle of water on the uneven surface.

Yang Le could see his reflection in the puddle when he lowered his head: black armor and a helmet with a pair of pointed ears. At least in terms of appearance, he was indeed a standard Batman.

Yang Le used the power of the Blood Ghoul, using hypnosis to implant a false memory into the Dark Elf in front of him, and then left.

He had already obtained what he wanted, so there was no need to pester this little pawn in front of him anymore.

If things were really as he thought, then Malekith's purpose was very clear. Although he didn't know why, this guy should want to release the Great Serpent.

As for what it's for, it doesn't matter. Whether it's for power or to overthrow Asgard, it doesn't matter. In short, the Great Serpent, who has been sealed for nearly ten thousand years, and Malekith gathering together is definitely not a good thing.

The chemical reaction between these two might be even more terrifying than when the Great Serpent appeared in the 616 universe.

In the main universe, the Great Serpent's first celestial hammer was summoned by the Red Skull.

The Red Skull spared no effort to win the war, using science, witchcraft, magic, etc. He would use any method he could find, regardless of the cost.

The same was true for the celestial hammer. The Red Skull gathered a bunch of mages on the Antarctic continent and had them study and use an ancient magic book, which contained the spell to summon the celestial hammer.

The summoned celestial hammer descended from the universe to the base built by the Red Skull on the Antarctic continent. The success of the spell made the Red Skull ecstatic.

But he was soon disappointed, because this hammer, like Thor's Mjolnir, would also choose its own user. People who did not meet the requirements could not lift the hammer.

The Red Skull failed to do it, and neither did a Hydra member of the base. In the end, no one could lift the hammer until the end of the war.

Until the Red Skull perished together with Captain America, the secret of this hammer disappeared with him.

Until he came to modern times, the Red Skull's daughter, Sin, found the base in Antarctica based on a little clue. This celestial hammer finally ushered in its user.

The first Worthy of the celestial hammer descended into the world, and the Great Serpent God, Kur, was finally liberated. Then the remaining seven celestial hammers fell to Earth, and fear filled the entire Nine Realms.

Yang Le caught the night and hid between the high-rise buildings. He was quite headache now.

If it was in the main universe, it would be fine, but in the 9527 universe, Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D. have all disappeared, and he doesn't even know if Sin exists.

But there is still a clue at present, that is, the Red Skull's Hydra base hidden on the Antarctic continent, which is used to store the celestial hammer.

Yang Le decided to set off immediately to Antarctica to explore the truth. If he could find that base, everything would be easy.

Maybe he could also follow this clue to eventually track down clues about Hydra and S.H.I.E.L.D., and then he could also unravel the mystery of the disappearance of the two organizations.

No sooner said than done, Yang Le pressed the Omnitrix hidden under the battle suit, and after a flash of white light, a more robust Kryptonian replaced the Blood Ghoul.

Let me make it clear, Yang Le didn't transform into a Kryptonian after dressing up as Batman just to be funny. It was really because Antarctica was far from the United States, and the first thing he thought of to quickly go there and withstand the harsh environment was the Kryptonian.

Adjusting his figure and flying above the clouds, the Batman battle suit he was wearing changed with Yang Le's thoughts, turning into a blue, iconic battle suit with an S logo on the chest.

The red cloak fluttered in the wind, and Yang Le raised his fist and flew towards Antarctica.

Okay, he really didn't have enough of role-playing.

In just a few seconds, Yang Le flew from the United States to Antarctica, and the power of the Kryptonian was reflected at this moment.

Yang Le didn't even dare to think about how fast his speed would become if he added a little Speed Force when he transformed into a Kryptonian.

Arriving at the Antarctic border, Yang Le activated his super vision and X-ray vision, scanning every inch of the Antarctic continent, and after passing several useless buildings, he finally found an unusual place.

It was a building that looked no different from an ordinary Antarctic base, but under the Kryptonian's X-ray vision, the internal structure was now unobstructed in Yang Le's eyes.

A uniquely shaped and exquisite war hammer lay quietly in the depths of the base.
