I get stronger by sunbathing, just like Superman.

Holding his scepter, he approached Thor step by step, his hunched figure seemingly growing tens of thousands of feet taller in that instant!

Under the combined oppressive aura of the absolute king of the Nine Realms and the Heavenly Father-level powerhouse, Thor finally lowered his head.

"I'm...I'm sorry,"

Father."

a long time,

Odin withdrew his terrifying aura, and his expression gradually softened...

It was as if he had returned to being a father.

He raised a hand and placed it on Thor's head, speaking gently:

Loki's death...

He brought this upon himself; he has no one to blame but himself.

This is not only the consequence he should bear, but also a punishment for us…

The person who killed him was extremely powerful.

They are not even weaker than me.

If you want to avenge him, I won't stop you, but I won't offer you any help either.

You have to figure everything out yourself, and you will bear the consequences alone.

Think it through before making a decision.

Will you return to Earth or stay in the Divine Realm then?

I will not stop you anymore.

Having said that, he turned and strode away.

Saul knelt on the ground, staring blankly at his father's departing figure.

Lost in thought.

...

...

Earth,

Ten thousand meters above the ground, in the corridor outside the intensive care unit of the space carrier.

Apart from Thor, who was recalled to Asgard, and Natasha, who was still in critical condition and lying in a hospital bed,

The rest of the Avengers, as well as Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., were present.

Behind the glass window of the intensive care unit, Natasha lay unconscious on the bed, on a ventilator, her chest rising and falling weakly.

The instruments beside me emitted rhythmic beeping sounds.

It felt as if a huge boulder was pressing on everyone's hearts.

The atmosphere was extremely dull.

"It's all my fault..."

She's right in front of me, I should protect her…

Dr. Banner, his eyes red and swollen, huddled in the corner, tearing at his hair with immense self-reproach.

Hawkeye Barton sat dejectedly on the bench, saying nothing.

Tony Stark, having removed his armor, leaned against the wall. Despite being covered in casts and bandages, he walked over to Banner.

He patted him on the shoulder reassuringly.

Steve and Nick Fury stood by the glass window, looking at Natasha's charred body inside.

His brows were furrowed.

After a long pause, Nick Fury sighed and broke the silence.

"She is my best agent."

"Coulson too?"

It was Tony Stark who spoke.

He walked up to Nick and questioned him:

"First Coulson, now Natasha, how much longer must we put up with these two so-called 'gods'?"

"You're blaming me for all of this?"

Nick Fury glanced at him sideways.

"Oh, you don't think so?"

Tony suddenly smiled, turned his head and looked around.

"Can someone remind me? Secretly studying the Cosmic Cube, attempting to control its power?"

But who was it that attracted Loki's attention?!

Before anyone could answer, Tony pointed his finger at Nick Fury's nose without any hesitation.

"Oh, it's you!"

One sentence left Nick Fury speechless.

Seeing Tony's aggressive approach, Steve, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up.

"Calm down, Stark..."

He pushed Tony aside and said, "It was just an accident. None of us could have predicted it. Even if Nick was at fault..."

But I believe he, like us, didn't want to see this outcome.

Nick Fury then picked up the conversation:

Ultimately, if someone hadn't killed Loki and angered Thor,

None of this will happen!

"is it?"

Tony angrily shook off Steve's hand, squinted at Nick Fury, and retorted:

"But why do I feel like that person did a good deed?"

Are you just unwilling to admit that the guy playing with the hammer is the one with the most problems?

Or does admitting that he has a problem mean admitting that your own judgment is flawed?

As the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., you can't accept this stain, can you?!

"Stark!"

Faced with the sharp-tongued Tony, even the usually composed Nick Fury couldn't help but lose his temper.

That's enough!

Stop! "

Seeing that things were going badly, Steve immediately stepped between the two.

He had already seen that both of them had their hands in their pockets.

Who knows what they'll pull out next?

Barton and Banner listened to the argument without saying a word.

The two of them are arguably the closest people to Natasha in the team, and their biggest concern right now is Natasha's injuries and when she will wake up.

Tony was so angry because he suspected Nick Fury was up to something again.

After all, this wasn't the first time he'd done something like this.

To avoid another argument between the two, Steve changed the subject,

"Don't you have clues about the real killer who killed Loki?"

What did you find?

Nick straightened his leather jacket, glanced at Tony, and then turned and left.

Only one sentence was left.

"Let Iron Man tell you; he knows more than I do."

"Yes, after all, I have two eyes."

Tony sneered at his retreating figure.

Whether it's physical or verbal, he's not one to give in easily.

After Fury left, Tony pulled up detailed information about 'Thunder' on his handheld device, along with a video of him appearing in Manhattan and using his telekinesis to save the victims on the Hudson River Bridge.

After reading the message, Steve stroked his chin thoughtfully.

"In other words..."
