Welcome back to **** reality, Banner told himself.

"It's ugly isn't it? Aegean Sea was not like this before."

Wednesday's voice rang in Banner's ear. I don't know when this mysterious old man appeared on his left, with a dark crow in his hand. The crow's look at Banner reminded him of a dream. eagle in .

"I... what the **** happened?"

Banner asked in confusion. Although he was used to the situation of waking up suddenly and looking confused in the ruins, everything is still too weird now.

"We're here." Wednesday let the crow fly away with a wave of his arm, looking at Banner and smiled.

"We came to the Aegean Sea two hours earlier, saving the time it takes to land! It also saved the time of wrangling with the airline."

Banner covered his head and tried hard to think. He almost broke his head, and 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 all disappeared.

"Newton lost to Eagles." Wednesday laughs

"The plane crashed, but why...why are you alright?"

Banner looked at Wednesday suspiciously. He didn't ask why he didn't die. After all, he was still very impressed with Hulk's ability.

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

Granted, Banner is just a normal guy without the Hulk. But he, an ordinary person, has unparalleled recovery ability and vitality. It looks like he was beaten to death, but the moment Hulk wakes up, he will be 'resurrected' with him.

It is impossible to expect to kill Banner before he reacts, and the uniform is even more impossible. Hulk and Banner are bound to each other. If Hulk cannot be killed, Banner cannot be killed.

"Just like why you didn't die, Vodice, neither lightning nor gravity can kill me now. Of course, it can't kill you now."

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

"Even if I'm down, these things are still far from killing me. Maybe I'm more worried about the guy who sends the lightning than the lightning, um... do you want to come with me?"

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

Banner asked with some struggle. Of course, he had guessed that the old man in front of him was very human, but no matter what kind of person he was, he cared more about the **** who killed a plane in his mouth.

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

"He might just come to greet me, to see how I'm doing, and then... no way, it's hard to avoid crushing ants when you're out and about."

Banner lowered his head, a wave of anger gathered in his heart, ants? Even if the person in front of you is absolutely human, you shouldn't describe human life with such contempt!

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

But no matter how angry he is, the strange thing is that Hulk has never moved at all, let alone responding to his anger, it seems that he doesn't even mean to ignore it.

It's like a child who was autistic after being beaten up by his parents.

Wednesday smiled and held out his hand to Banner, who hesitated for a moment before grabbing the outstretched hand.

In fact, he has nowhere to go. Anyway, he goes wherever he goes, so he might as well follow the old man to find the 'bastard' in his mouth to settle accounts.

And I don't know why, the Hulk inside him is always very quiet when he is around on Wednesday. Since this is not a bad thing for Banner.

There is nowhere to go, it is better to follow the mysterious old man in front of you.

"where are we going?"

Banner stood up and looked at himself in rags and sighed.

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

"Yes, it's impolite 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..."

"It might be a while, I haven't been to Athens for a long time, and the last time I was there I remember the mayor was still called, um... Pericles."

Wednesday took Banner away from here while talking, 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 it was not an important position to be the mayor of Athens.

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

38. Ancient Myths

"Father is missing? How is it 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 rainbow bridge caused the giants of Muspelheim and Jotunheim to invade Asgard, and Surtur and Laufi went to assassinate the Father of the Gods. The Father of the Gods killed them , but his whereabouts are ultimately unknown.”

Heimdall replied succinctly with a cold face.

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

"...Then where is Loki?" Thor's clenched fists loosened slightly, he said solemnly

"He's also missing." Heimdall said lightly

"He opened the Rainbow Bridge privately and destroyed Muspelheim. Thanks to his gift, the Rainbow Bridge has now temporarily lost the energy to freely travel to and from the Nine Realms. He seems to have fallen from the Rainbow Bridge, and he doesn't know his life or death."

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

"Hey, that coward finally did a human thing." Vorstag said there, watching the fun and not being a big deal.

But Thor is not happy. If he were the reckless person not long ago, he might be happy for his brother's "great achievements", but now he just feels bad!

The nine worlds are all connected to the world tree, and the nine worlds hang above the world tree Uktrahir, and the chain reaction of destroying one will affect the rest of the world!

All worlds are lost and all are prosperous. Even in the fiercest war in Asgard, Odin never thought of using the Rainbow Bridge to smash a world.

Moreover, the destruction of Muspelheim does not mean that the nine realms have become eight realms. The World Tree Yuktalahir is not a simple 'dead thing'. In a sense, the World Tree is an extremely special The dimension demon!

The number of Nine Realms is a prescribed integer, because the branches of the World Tree extend nine connection points. And missing one, for Uktrahir, means that she is going to link to a new world.

For Asgard, who firmly ruled the Nine Realms, this not only brought them a huge and unstable crisis, but also brought huge changes to the system of the Nine Realms!

What's more, smashing a world with a rainbow bridge will mean a huge threat to all the remaining countries for Asgard, the ruler of the Nine Realms!

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

"...Is all this really led by Loki?"

Facing Thor's questioning, Heimdall was silent for a moment, then shook his head.

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

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

Thor nodded slightly, hesitated before leaving, and said to Heimdall

"Heimdall, look after Jane if you have time—you should know who she is, and father should have sent you to supervise me throughout."

Even Thor now knows that this trip to earth was just an education from his father, and Heimdall's eyes must always be on him, not only to ensure that he is educated, but also to protect him. Safety.

Heimdall glanced at his frost-faced sister and nodded, he would never interfere in Thor's relationship.

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

The heir to the father of the gods is destined to be the father of the gods, and in the end, he will definitely become Odin.

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

Inevitably, the words that had been spoken to him in rage surged in his heart.

All of this was his father's secret plan.

Whether it is Thor or Loki, they are just a part of Odin's huge plan, just a part of Odin's huge plan for Asgard.

Don't hesitate to put these chips on the other side of the scale, just to win the final victory. Such is the ruthlessness of the father of the gods, whether he loves or hates, these are just bargaining chips.

Thor didn't want to believe it at first, but with such a doubt, after careful recall, the Odin in memory became wrong.

In the Golden Palace of Nuoda, the famous and powerful gods worshiped by Thor seem to be slowly disappearing.

Tyr, who was good at fighting, the brilliant Baldur, the ruthless and powerful Hodel... These brother-like characters that Thor once admired, eventually disappeared in a long time.

Instead, the rebellion and rebellion of the Nine Realms that I have occasionally heard about is no longer there, and it is replaced by absolute peace.

Thor is not a fool, or it is precisely because he is a character that is extremely fanatical about fighting, so he understands more about how a country that conquers the world by force can maintain stability and peace.

War, only war, war that never changes.

The whistling Thor's Hammer took Thor back to Odin's palace. His mother, Frigga, seemed to have long expected that the graceful queen was already waiting for her child on the balcony.

"You're here again, Thor."

Frigg smiled and said to his son, Thor asked impatiently as soon as he landed.

"Mother, father he..."

"He's in Midgard," Frigg said softly.

"Your father is in the atrium. He killed the giants of Balrog and Frost, fought off the mastermind behind Jotunheim, and... Death."

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

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

"Uktrahir is qualified." Frigga said lightly

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

"He, like you, was deprived of his power by Uktrahir. This exile is his punishment, and the upper limit... I don't know."

"I'm going to get my father back!"

Thor almost without hesitation was ready to go back 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 unreserved. will change.

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

Frigga stopped her son, took his shoulder, and said seriously.

"Your responsibilities are here, Thor. Asgard needs you, the nine worlds are just around the corner, Asgard's post-disaster reconstruction, the confusion of the people, you are the king, you must take these responsibilities."

Thor clenched his teeth slightly, he looked into Frigga's eyes, and the Queen's eyes were as clear and pure as ever, just like her suggestion.

Frigga was Odin's only companion and the wisest goddess in Asgard. She's from Warnerheim, and her predictions never go wrong.

No matter how unwilling and accepting it is, if Frigga has said so, if this is really the trial of my father...

What can he do but accept it?

Although it was painful to think of his father who lost his strength on earth just like him, Thor knew more about how important his responsibilities were.

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

There was one thing she didn't say. For Thor... I don't know if it's a good thing.

Even if Odin loses the power of his heavenly father, he is still a god, still a descendant of Gaia's blood, and on earth, he still has the ability to surpass human beings.

Falling down from Midgard was indeed the World Tree's punishment for him, and it was indeed the trial of the father of the gods.

But Odin took the initiative to choose to fall, because for him... it might not be an opportunity.

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 the entire Western culture.

Westerners, especially those Anglo-Saxons, always shamelessly believe that they have inherited ancient Greek civilization, and regardless of the troublesome claiming rights, Western civilization has indeed inherited a large part of the characteristics of ancient Greece.

After all, Rome inherited Greece, and then Rome shattered, and then there is that thing that is neither holy nor Roman. It is not a problem to say that the current Western civilization is the grandchild of ancient Greek civilization.

But even so, the country of Greece is actually not that awesome.

Unlike the ancient countries where other civilizations originated, the time of Greece was very short, and you can't even tell if he is really good.

You can't even call ancient Greece a 'country', it's strictly a region.

Although the million-strong army of Persian Xerxes the Great was repelled, most of it relied on the weather and tsunami, as well as the crazy infighting 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 for each other, and in the end, neither of them could do anything about the other.

And then...it was served in one pot by Alexander.

As for the current Greece, it is the younger brother of the younger brother, a government that can declare bankruptcy by itself, the situation of being bullied by the local chickens next to it, and the economy that has basically not improved except for tourism.

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

It is the kind of person who has many descendants and grandchildren who are very good, and whose deeds are widely spread, but the essence is not very good.
