Under Ryan's flying axes, the pursuing fighters couldn't even dream of catching his ship, and not a single one of their energy beams even grazed the vessel.
The happy ship plunged unscathed into the crimson spatial wormhole that connected heaven and Earth.
Moments before entering, Ryan had already flipped back inside the ship.
After all, he didn't want to test whether his physical body could withstand being torn apart by the spatial turbulence.
The mass-produced fighters in pursuit were simply not built to withstand the spatial turbulence, so they could only hover helplessly before the crimson spatial wormhole.
At that moment, a floating platform flew over, carrying the Grandmaster himself and Topaz.
Topaz turned to the Grandmaster and asked, "Grandmaster, should we send our warships to pursue them?"
The Grandmaster's expression was ugly, but he ultimately shook his head. "No, that end is Odin's territory. That old geezer's divine power is reaching its limit; we absolutely cannot provoke that short-fused bomb right now!"
"Now, let's wait for old Zeus's reaction. His son is dead, so I doubt he'll let this go. He'll go and take revenge for us!"
"Of course, if he doesn't chicken out again... which he shouldn't, right?"
By the end, the Grandmaster's expression became a bit uncertain.
Because compared to the beautified Olympus myths, he knew that the Zeus of this Universe was not only a top-tier stud who wanted to try everything, but also a super coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong!
This was evident from the fact that Zeus didn't even dare to fart when Odin kicked the Olympian gods out of the Nine Realms... Topaz nodded in understanding but was still somewhat puzzled. "But Grandmaster, you could have acted to stop them from leaving just now. Why did you just watch and never make a move?"
The Grandmaster remained silent for a few seconds upon hearing this, glanced at the sky, and his face slowly darkened. "Because it is not yet time for us to act. We still need to wait..."
Topaz asked, "Wait for what?"
The Grandmaster opened his arms as if to embrace the entire Universe, his voice filled with fervor. "Naturally, we wait for the moment the new king replaces the old, the moment when time and order no longer exist!"
"Only then can my brother Tivan and I regain our freedom and true power in a world of chaos, and then... the entire Universe will be our plaything and collection!"
Topaz was stunned. "The new king replacing the old? Do you mean waiting for Odin to die and for one of his foolish sons to take the throne?"
The Grandmaster gave Topaz a strange look and suddenly burst into laughter. "Odin? Hahahahahaha! He can't even protect his own offspring. What is he worth?"
"He has two sons and a daughter, and in the end, he won't be able to save a single one of them. It's the same in every Universe, hahahahahaha!"
After his maniacal laughter, the Grandmaster ignored Topaz's bewildered expression, and his figure dissipated like a phantom in the wind... Whoosh—
After what felt like a long interstellar voyage, the happy ship finally burst out of the 'Devil's Anus' and emerged into a sea of stars!
Inside the ship, except for Ryan, who had endured the constant dizziness of traversing the wormhole, the Valkyrie and the Horse-Face Man had both passed out.
Upon emerging from the sea of stars, the first thing Ryan saw was a very, very long bridge—a miraculous long bridge flowing with rainbow light!
That was... the Bifrost Bridge!
Ryan wasn't surprised by this.
Having watched Thor: Ragnarok in his previous life, he already knew that the largest spatial wormhole on Sakaar led to Asgard.
Beneath Asgard's Bifrost Bridge lay a sea of stars leading to various realms of the Universe. In the first Thor movie, Loki fell into this sea of stars and was coincidentally transported to Thanos's territory in the depths of the Universe, which sparked the events of the first Avengers movie.
However, this time he had killed Loki back on Earth. Although he wasn't sure if that was Loki's true body—after all, his ability to distinguish magic was still a bit weak.
But even if that wasn't Loki's true body and Loki wasn't dead,
he had already altered the plot of Thor 1 beyond recognition.
He had single-handedly slaughtered his way through Jotunheim, so Loki should have no reason or opportunity to destroy Jotunheim anymore.
So Thor wouldn't fight Loki, and Loki wouldn't accidentally fall off the Bifrost Bridge, leading to the Battle of New York in Avengers 1, right?
However, Ryan didn't know that after he had entered the Bifrost Bridge to solo the entire Frost Giant army, Peter had caught Loki trying to escape. Then Tony had a sudden inspiration and accidentally used the Space Stone's isotope energy to randomly teleport Loki away... and where was Loki eventually sent?
It's really hard to guess... Hint one: he met a purple Big Guy... If Ryan knew, he probably wouldn't be able to imagine such a coincidence even if he racked his brain—Loki had ultimately met his destiny, Thanos!
But unfortunately, he didn't know this news yet. Right now, Ryan only wanted to return to Earth as soon as possible.
Therefore, he steered the ship and immediately headed toward the end of the Bifrost Bridge.
When the ship landed on the Bifrost Bridge, a golden-eyed Black man in golden armor was already waiting at the control hub.
Clearly, this was the Guardian of the Bifrost Bridge, Heimdall.
Seeing Ryan step out of the ship, followed by the Valkyrie and the Horse-Face Man rubbing their heads, Heimdall didn't show a hint of surprise.
He first looked at Ryan with a smile and nodded. "Welcome to Asgard, Mr. Ryan Parker."
Then he looked at the Valkyrie. "Welcome home, Valkyrie."
Finally, he looked at the Horse-Face Man. "Welcome to Asgard, Mr. Beta Ray Bill."
Facing Heimdall's words, the three had different expressions.
Valkyrie showed no joy in 'coming home'; instead, her face was full of displeasure, clearly still brooding over the fact that the Valkyrie Corps was wiped out because of Odin's family matters.
The Horse-Face Man nodded to Heimdall and then maintained his usual silent attitude, saying nothing.
Ryan walked up to Heimdall, sizing up his beautiful golden eyes, and said in a dangerous tone, "So, you've actually been watching my every move this whole time?"
Heimdall didn't get angry at Ryan's rude behavior but nodded calmly. "Yes, I have been watching you since you arrived in Jotunheim."
Hearing this, Ryan's eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth. "You know what? I really want to throw a handful of dust into those eyes of yours that can see the whole Universe!"
"Since you saw it, why didn't you bring me back sooner? I helped you guys solve the huge problem of the Frost Giant race!"
Heimdall shrugged helplessly. "First, Sakaar is at the intersection of reality and illusion, where spatial rules are complex. The Bifrost Bridge cannot reach Sakaar, and I was powerless to change that...
