Welcome back to fucking reality, Banner told himself.

"It's ugly, isn't it? The Aegean Sea didn't look like this before."

Wednesday's voice rang in Banner's ears. At some point, this mysterious old man appeared on his left hand, with a dark crow in his hand. The crow's eyes looking at Banner reminded him of his dream. eagle inside.

"I...what happened?"

Banner asked confusedly. Although he had long been used to suddenly waking up in ruins with a confused face, everything now was still too weird.

"We're here." Wednesday waved his arm to make the crow fly away, looked at Banner and said with a smile.

"We arrived at the Aegean Sea two hours early, which saved us the time it took to land! We also saved us the time of arguing with the airline."

Banner covered his head and thought hard. He almost thought about it. In the increasingly severe headache, he finally remembered everything.

"The plane... crashed?!"

Banner asked uncertainly. His last memory only stayed after a flash of lightning, and then everything disappeared.

"Newton lost to the Eagles," laughed Wednesday

"The plane crashed, but why...why did nothing happen to you?"

Banner looked at Wednesday in confusion. He didn't ask why he didn't die. After all, he was very capable of Hulk's abilities.

Not to mention falling from a high altitude, what method of death did Banner not try during the darkest period? He committed suicide by swallowing a gun, taking poison, and even tied himself to a string of explosives, but unfortunately he couldn't die.

Granted, Banner is just a regular guy without the Hulk. But he, an ordinary person, has unparalleled recovery ability and vitality. Even though he looks like he was beaten to death, Hulk will be 'resurrected' as soon as he wakes up.

It is impossible to kill Banner before he reacts, and it is even more impossible to subdue him. Hulk and Banner are tightly bound together. If you can't kill Hulk, you can't kill Banner.

"The same reason why you didn't die, Vodis, neither lightning nor gravity can kill me now. Of course, it can't kill you now either."

Wednesday looked at the crows circling in the sky and smiled at Banner.

"Even if I have declined, these things are still far from killing me. I may be more worried about the guy who emits the lightning than the lightning. Hmm... Do you want to go with me?"

"You mean...the crash of that plane was man-made?"

Banner asked with some struggle. By now, of course he had guessed that the old man in front of him was definitely an ordinary person, but no matter what kind of person he was, he was more concerned about the bastard in his mouth who killed an entire plane of people.

"It can't be said that he killed him." Wednesday smacked his lips.

"Maybe he just came to greet me and see how I was doing, and then...no way, crushing ants when traveling is something that is difficult to avoid."

Banner lowered his head, an anger gathering in his heart, ants? Even if the person in front of you is definitely not human, you should not describe human life in such a contemptuous manner!

"So, will you work for me, Vodis? Let's go find that bastard together?"

But no matter how angry he was, the strange thing was that Hulk never made any move. Let alone respond to his anger, he seemed to have no intention of even paying attention.

It's like a child who was beaten by his parents and became autistic.

Wednesday smiled and extended his hand to Banner. Banner hesitated for a moment and grabbed the extended hand.

He actually had nowhere to go. He had to walk everywhere anyway, so he might as well follow this old man to settle the score with the 'bastard' he called him.

And for some reason, the Hulk in him would always be very quiet when around Wednesday. Since this is not a bad thing for Banner.

With nowhere to go, it would be better to follow the mysterious old man in front of me.

"where are we going?"

Banner stood up, looked at himself in ragged clothes, and sighed.

"But no matter where I go, I have to get dressed first."

"Yes, it's not polite to meet a lady dressed like this." Wednesday looked at Banner and raised his eyebrows.

"Let's go to Athens to meet an... old friend of mine."

"We may be away for a while. I haven't been to Athens for a long time. The last time I came, I remember the mayor here was still called, um... Pericles."

Wednesday said as he took Banner away from here, and he didn't know when his long salute appeared in his palm again.

Banner felt a little dazed. The name was familiar to him but he couldn't remember it, but he thought the mayor of Athens was not an important position.

Come to think of it...it's not that important.

38. Ancient myths

"Father is missing? How is that possible!"

When Thor and his party finally returned to Asgard, they hurriedly asked Heimdall how the situation was, but gave such an answer.

"Loki's use of the Bifrost caused the giants of Muspelheim and Jotunheim to invade Asgard. Surtur and Laufey went to assassinate the All-Father. The All-Father killed them. , but his whereabouts were ultimately unknown.”

Heimdall answered concisely and concisely with a cold face.

"Damn it! That traitor Loki! Coward! Cowardly little thief!" Volstagg waved his fist angrily.

"...Then where is Loki?" Thor's clenched fists slightly loosened and he said in a deep voice.

"He is also missing." Heimdall said calmly.

"He opened the Rainbow Bridge privately and destroyed Muspelheim. Thanks to him, the Rainbow Bridge has temporarily lost the energy to freely travel between the nine realms. He seems to have fallen off the Rainbow Bridge and does not know whether he is alive or dead."

"What...Loki destroyed Muspelheim?!" Thor's eyes widened and his voice amplified several times.

"Hey, that coward finally did something wrong." Volstagg said as if he was watching the fun and didn't think it was a big deal.

But Thor was not happy. If he had been reckless not long ago, he might have been happy for his brother's 'great achievements', but now he just feels terrible!

The nine worlds are all connected to the World Tree. The nine worlds are hung on the World Tree Yectrasil, and the chain reaction caused by destroying one will affect the remaining worlds!

All worlds were harmed, and all were prosperous. Even at the height of the Asgard war, Odin never thought of using the Rainbow Bridge to shatter a world.

Moreover, the destruction of Muspelheim does not mean that the Nine Realms have become the Eight Realms. The World Tree Yggdrasil is not a simple 'dead thing'. In a sense, the World Tree is an extremely special Dimension Demon God!

The number of nine realms is a prescribed integer, because the branches of the World Tree extend to nine connecting points. For Yuketrasiel, missing one means that she has to connect to a new world.

For Asgard, who firmly rules the nine realms, this not only brings them a huge and unstable crisis, but also causes the system of the nine realms to face huge changes!

What's more, wantonly destroying a world with the Rainbow Bridge means a huge threat to all remaining countries for Asgard, the leader of the nine realms!

Thor doesn't know much about politics, but he knows things can be troublesome! To put it bluntly, Asgard's dominance will be completely shaken after this!

"...Is Loki really leading all of this?"

Facing Thor's question, Heimdall was silent for a moment, shook his head and said

"I don't know, but I don't think so. Loki may have his ideas, but he's not that vicious or that capable."

"I don't know much about the specific situation. I think you should go find Queen Frigga. She has been waiting for you for a long time."

Thor nodded slightly, hesitated for a moment before leaving, and said to Heimdall

"Heimdall, if you have time, help me look after Jane - you should know who she is, and my father should send you to supervise me throughout the whole process."

By now, even Thor knew that this trip to Earth was just an education given to him by his father. Heimdall's eyes must always be on him, not only to ensure that he received education, but also to protect him. Safety.

Heimdall glanced at his frosty sister and nodded. He would never interfere in Thor's emotional issues.

That was something the Father of the Gods had to worry about, and in fact, from the beginning, Heimdall did not want anything to do with Sif and Thor.

The heir to the Father of the Gods is destined to be the Father of the Gods, and eventually, he will definitely look like Odin.

Thor, who was swinging and throwing Thor's hammer, flew across the entire Asgard in an instant. Looking at the Golden Palace that was almost destroyed, Thor fell into a long silence.

What Fury had said to him inevitably welled up in his mind.

All this was secretly planned by his father.

Thor and Loki are just part of Odin's huge plan, just a link in Odin's huge plan for Asgard.

Do not hesitate to put these chips on the other end of the scale, just to win the final victory. Such is the coldness of the Father of the Gods. Whether he loves or hates him, these are just bargaining chips.

Thor originally didn't want to believe it, but with such a doubt, when he recalled it carefully, something seemed wrong about Odin in his memory.

In Nuoda's Golden Palace, the famous and powerful gods that Thor once worshiped seemed to be slowly disappearing.

The capable Tyr, the brilliant Baldr, the ruthless and powerful Hodr...these brother-like figures that Thor once admired eventually disappeared over a long period of time.

Instead, there is no more resistance and rebellion in the nine realms that I once heard about occasionally, and there is absolute peace in its place.

Thor is not a fool, or it may be because he is extremely enthusiastic about fighting, so he understands better how a country that relies on force to conquer the world can maintain stability and peace.

War, only war, the everlasting war.

The roaring Thor's hammer brought Thor back to Odin's palace. His mother Frigga seemed to have expected it, and the graceful queen was already waiting for her child on the balcony.

"There you go again, Thor."

Frigga smiled and said to her son. Thor couldn't wait to ask as soon as he landed.

"Mother, father, he..."

"He is in Midgard." Frigga said softly.

"Your father is in the atrium. He killed the giants of fire and ice, and fought off the mastermind hiding in Jotunheim, as well as... the god of death."

"But he also fell to the top of the World Tree because he had to pay the price for his actions."

"The price? Father protected Asgard! Who has the right to punish him!" Thor said angrily

"Yuktrasiel is qualified." Frigga said calmly.

"The activation of the Rainbow Bridge, the destruction of Muspelheim, and the World Tree were hurt because of our foolishness. This anger must be borne by a person of sufficient weight, so your father accepted the punishment and fell from the Golden Palace. .”

"Like you, he was deprived of his power by Yggdrasil. This banishment is his punishment, and the upper limit... I don't know."

"I'm going to find my father right now!"

Thor almost did not hesitate to return to Earth to bring his father back. No matter what suspicions he had about Odin, the father of the gods, his great father, Thor's respect and love for him were endless. It will change.

"That was your father's trial, Thor."

Frigga stopped her son, put her arm around his shoulders, and said seriously

"Your responsibility is here, Thor. Asgard needs you, the Nine Realms are about to move, Asgard's post-disaster reconstruction, the people's confusion, you are the king, you must bear these responsibilities."

Thor gritted his teeth slightly and looked into Frigga's eyes. The queen's eyes were as clear and pure as ever, just like her suggestion.

Frigga is Odin's only companion and the wisest goddess in Asgard. She comes from Vanaheim and her predictions are always infallible.

No matter how reluctant she is to accept it, if Frigga said so, if this is really a test from her father...

What else could he do but accept it?

Although he felt uncomfortable when he thought about losing his power and his father, who was as miserable as himself on earth, Thor understood how important his responsibility was.

Thor lowered his head, as if there was an invisible and heavy crown on it. Frigga looked at her son and sighed softly.

One thing she didn't say was that for Thor... I don't know if such a thing is a good thing.

Even if Odin loses the power of his heavenly father, he is still a god and a descendant of the blood of Gaia. On earth, he still has abilities that surpass humans.

Falling into Midgard was indeed the punishment given to him by the World Tree, and it was indeed a trial by the Father of the Gods.

But Odin took the initiative to choose to fall, because this was... an opportunity for him.

A chance to be reborn.

…

Athens, the source of Greek civilization, is also the brightest pearl of ancient Greek culture and even the source of Western culture as a whole.

Westerners, especially those Anglo-Saxons, always shamelessly believe that they have inherited ancient Greek civilization. Regardless of the troublesome issues of such claims, Western civilization has indeed inherited a large part of the characteristics of ancient Greece.

After all, Rome inherited Greece, and then Rome was shattered. Then there was that thing that was neither holy nor Roman. It is okay to say that the current Western civilization is the grandson of ancient Greek civilization.

But despite this, the country of Greece is actually... not that awesome.

Unlike other ancient countries where civilization originated, Greece's time to be awesome was very short, and you can't even tell whether it was awesome or not.

You can't even call ancient Greece a 'country'. Strictly speaking, it should be a region.

Although they defeated the million-strong army of Emperor Xerxes of Persia, they mostly relied on weather and tsunamis, as well as the crazy internal fighting of the Persians.

Although civilization flourished, Greece was never unified from beginning to end. The closest thing to reunification was when Greece and Sparta each established an alliance to compete with each other. In the end, no one could do anything about the embarrassing situation.

Then... he was taken over by Alexander.

As for Greece now, it is the younger brother among younger brothers, a government that can declare bankruptcy on its own, being bullied by the local chickens next to it, and an economy that has basically not improved except for tourism.

Although this area of ​​Greece has never been swept away, the classical democracy that spread from Athens is indeed widely spread and even boasted by Westerners, and this is also reflected in their myths.

It's the kind of person who has many descendants and their grandsons are very good. His deeds are widely spread, but the essence is not very good.
