23 Gains and a Coming Battle

After absorbing the power in the Box, Asher felt that this trip was increasingly worth it.

Originally he just wanted to meet Thor, the God of Thunder, and battle the Destroyer, as in the original plot, to earn some points.

And now, he's clearly accomplished more than if he stuck to the original plan.

Not only did he absorb the power of the Box of Ancient Winters, but he even captured Loki.

"This way, the destroyer won't come - so just wait for Thor, regain his divine power, and I should be able to earn a few more points for interfering in the plot."

"Next to the 200 points I saved before, and almost guaranteed to have my new summon quickly... Just perfect."

When he thought of this, Asher couldn't help but feel happy.

It can be said that as long as Odin doesn't bother him because of the Winter Box issue, then his outcome was perfect.

"I am a genius!"

With that thought, Asher arrived at the door of the laboratory's recovery area.

"Asher, you're here."

And after seeing Asher arriving, Coulson also stepped forward to greet him, and Hawkeye followed suit.

"I heard Thor was defrosted?"

"Yes."

Coulson nodded and took him to the center of the recovery area.

Asher, he could catch a glimpse of Thor, who had just been freed from the ice, his body still extremely pale.

But at that time, there was a woman beside Thor, taking care of him.

"She's Jane Foster, astrophysicist..."

Coulson said softly from beside Asher, "She seems to know Thor, and she offered to look after him."

Even though he said that, everyone could see the meaning in Coulson's words - there was something wrong with these two.

"Good..."

Asher looked at the girl named Jane and didn't say anything else.

"Ahem..."

After seeing Asher arriving, Thor also stood up strongly.

Asher originally thought that this temperamental Thunder God would fight him again. But he didn't expect Thor to look at him solemnly: "They say your name is Asher Oakson?" "

"I'd rather you just call me Asher."

"Okay, Asher... Thanks!"

Then Asher looked at Thor in surprise: "It's okay, saving you didn't cause me any trouble."

"I'm not talking about saving myself..."

Thor shook his head, and then looked at Loki lying on the bed not far away: "I thank you for not killing Loki." "

"Do you... Still recognize him as your brother?"

Asher, even knowing what the relationship between the two was like, couldn't avoid being surprised.

"Even if he did wrong, he's still my brother."

What Thor said was somewhat emotional.

"I will bring him back to Asgard and place him at my father's disposal."

"Return to Asgard?"

Asher, narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you know the way to regain your power?" "

"Probably..."

Thor looked at Jane Foster, who was not far away, apparently worried: "Someone who only knows how to fight, but does not know how to protect, cannot be a good King - this must be the lesson my father wanted to teach me and I refused to teach." to perceive."

The look that the current Thor showed was not something that his old, arrogant and reckless self could demonstrate.

Looking at the Thor now, Asher knew he wasn't far from resuming his position with the God of Hammer...I mean Thunder.

"Rest my friend, you've been through a lot."

So he told Thor directly, and walked over to the hospital bed where Loki was trapped.

"Biii!"

Celebi, who followed Asher's orders, and had been monitoring Loki since yesterday, flew to Asher's side at this moment, as if she was asking for a compliment for a job well done.

"Good Job, Celebi."

Of course Asher wouldn't turn the little one down, immediately reaching out to pat Celebi's head.

"Tini, Tini!"

Then Victini, who was on Asher's right shoulder, also demanded recognition ''I also did my part'', and then flew next to Celebi, wanting to receive affection from her master.

"Biiiiii!"

"Tini, Tini!"

The two little ones started to play, and Asher could look at Loki, who was rendered useless by Celebi, tied to the bed by bandages reinforced with mental power: "I hope you understand - after all, you are the God of Mischief, anything less than that and you I would have already run away."

"Under the gaze of that little monster, who can escape?" - Loki blurted out, involuntarily.

Loki, who wore a dismayed expression, muttered to himself: "I have never seen a magical creature so powerful, who looks so harmless."

"Oh! Celebi won't like it if you call him a monster."

Asher, who was facing Loki, said, "Thor just said he will bring him back to Asgard, to be judged by his father."

"... It's just like him."

Loki heard, but didn't seem surprised: "Cutting grass, but not removing the roots, Thor is can sometimes be a truly stupid person."

Hearing Loki's arrogant words - Asher couldn't help but think, how could these two brothers have be such a toxic relationship?

Asher was ready to leave this place, which had a strange atmosphere.

When, he felt the ground shake, and a disconcerting feeling hung in the air.

Asher hurried out to check the situation, spotting Fury just ahead.

"What do you want to do? Start a war?"

Looking at the tanks and military aircraft behind Nick Fury, as well as a large number of soldiers, Asher asked, somewhat disconcerted.

Now Fury really wanted to grab Asher by the neck and scream, "War!!! Isn't that something you almost provoked?"

After learning that Thor and Loki, two princes, were respectively frozen and the other beaten and arrested, Nick Fury could only inform the Council that the situation was under control.

In this situation the Council could not stand by after hearing everything that had happened - two alien princes were treated like this by someone supposedly affiliated with S.H.I.E.L.D. within a few hours after coming to Earth.

Nick Fury was severely criticized, the military directly asked for Asher to be arrested.

But others don't know, Nick Fury kept it a secret - Asher is not his subordinate, it's more of a cooperative relationship, rather than subordination.

Even he knew that if those military fools really dared to look for trouble with Asher, then some soldiers could end up being swallowed by Rayquaza, Twisted by Celebi, or even roasted by Victini.

In the end, to resolve this matter, Nick had to call in some old favors, so at this point he was quite angry with Asher.

"These soldiers were sent to guard Thor and Loki, by the military."

Nick Fury said with a strong anger in his heart.

"To show the power of Earth, right?"

Asher, looked into Nick Fury's only eye and pointed out the real meaning of this mini army, in one sentence.

"...You know, the stubborn old men on the Council are insecure, especially when we're potentially being invaded by aliens."

Nick Fury looked at Asher seriously.

"So they must be even more insecure if they find out the truth - these things have no meaning in front of the Asgardians."

Asher directly told the truth.

Tanks? Aircraft?

Thor can crush him with a swing of Mjolnir, normal bullets barely tickle an Asgardian's body.

"Are they really that powerful?"

Nick Fury became more serious after hearing Asher's words - he could feel that they were not fake words.

"Of course, you have to know that the average life expectancy of Asgardians is 5,000 years, and they have had a developed civilization since the primitive era of humanity."

"They have no ill will towards the land, at least for now, so you don't need to worry about it too much."

Asher said casually.

"You also said it was… "for now"."

Nick Fury shook his head.

While chatting casually, the two also entered the laboratory.

However, when they arrived at the laboratory....

"Boom!"

The ground shook again, Asher frowned and looked at Nick Fury: "Did you bring more tanks?" "

"... No. "

After Nick Fury said this, they both reacted and quickly left the laboratory again.

And then....

They saw a bright light in the distance, and slowly a group of blurry figures began to emerge from the light.

Blue, with marked skin, sharp ears and fangs, red eyes and a huge body, far superior to a human.

As soon as they touched the ground, it began to freeze and the surrounding temperature began to drop rapidly.

Asher recognized it at a glance - the other party's appearance was exactly the same as Loki when he was in possession of the Box of Ancient Winters, but much larger in size.

They are....

"Frost Giants."
