Today's second update, please give all kinds of support!

"Donald? I've always felt that you haven't been honest with me." Phil Coulson, standing before Thor, said.

"Do you know, we are all fighting for the same thing, to protect this world."

Thor, who knew a bit about S.H.I.E.L.D., took two steps back and stood beside Jane Foster, saying, "If you return Jane's belongings, then you will become my ally."

"It was stolen." The thought of this made Jane Foster quite angry.

"It was borrowed." Phil Coulson, who could see that the relationship between these two was not ordinary, quickly explained and promised, "Of course, you can take the equipment back; you still need to use it for research."

With this promise, Thor, the God of Thunder, no longer bothered to pay attention to the mortal who had once brought him unpleasant memories.

"Jane, do you want to see the Bifröst I mentioned?" The stylish and impressive Thor asked someone.

"Of course." Jane Foster, subconsciously glancing at a certain armored man, hesitated for a moment before nodding.

Seeing Thor, the God of Thunder from Asgard, hug Jane Foster and fly away with a "Biu~" sound, Maria Hill, who had another mission, only gave a nod with her eyes and then left in a vehicle. Phil Coulson could only shift his gaze to a certain "big guy."

"Baron Angel? I didn't know angels had titles now." Phil Coulson said, looking at the real-life "angel" before him.

"Before today, would you have believed that Thor or even Odin, the King of the Gods, really existed?" Liu Rui'an, dressed in dark golden angelic armor, countered.

"Alright, Baron Angel, your weapons are not registered. Please come with us." Phil Coulson, glancing in the direction Thor had left, said.

"Forget it, there's no such clause in my deal with Liu. Besides, I'll be leaving soon. I believe your superior already knows this." Liu Rui'an, knowing it was just a test, shook his head and replied.

At this moment, Agent Jasper Sitwell, standing to the side, received a message from his subordinate.

"What? The Destroyer was taken by someone?" Phil Coulson, after hearing the message from his colleague, said somewhat speechlessly.

"It was the Umbrella Corporation." Jasper Sitwell, nodding, replied.

"I'll report this to the Director. Let's leave it at that for now." Phil Coulson, knowing there was more to the story, hesitated for a moment before saying.

"As you wish." Jasper Sitwell, whose rank and position were lower, nodded and stepped aside.

Although the two had intentionally avoided a certain person during their conversation, Liu Rui'an, in his angelic armor, still heard everything clearly.

After confirming with the Starling that the "package" had already started being transferred to his laboratory and that there was nothing else for him to do here, he naturally didn't want to waste time staying.

Especially after Jane Foster ultimately chose Thor, Liu Rui'an, who had originally intended to develop a relationship with her, lost interest.

After all, although Jane Foster had a significant role and the actress who played her was famous, her appearance and age didn't suit Liu Rui'an's taste.

Moreover, this actress had starred in other films, and in Liu Rui'an's view, he had better options.

However, even though he thought this way, seeing a girl he could have had snatched away by someone else still left him somewhat annoyed.

So, when he returned to his territory and confirmed through the Starling that Thor and the others had returned to Asgard via the Bifröst and had not reappeared, he felt a sense of schadenfreude.

After all, the only reason Thor could have broken his promise was if the Bifröst had been destroyed.

The only thing Liu Rui'an was curious about was whether the trickster god Loki had come to Earth as in the original plot or if his intervention had changed Loki's fate.

However, this curiosity was quickly replaced by the four vials of divine blood and the remains of the Destroyer that were delivered to him.

The blood-drawing device that Maria Hill had taken earlier had not actually transfused divine blood into Thor's body.

What was injected was actually a virus specifically created using Thor's blood sample.

Considering that Thor was a member of the Asgardian race, ordinary viruses might not have any effect.

Moreover, Liu Rui'an was very interested in whether the "divine blood" serum he had developed would have any effect on a "pseudo-god" like Thor.

So, when developing this virus, he deliberately added a portion of the "divine blood" to it.

Unexpectedly, this virus did have the expected effect, but it also had an unexpected "side effect," which was the destruction of the Destroyer.

According to the original plot, although the Destroyer was easily defeated by Thor, it remained largely intact.

However, whether due to the unpredictable effects of the "divine blood" in the virus or not, the Destroyer, which should have remained intact, was shattered by Thor's hammer.

This result left Liu Rui'an, who had planned to reverse-engineer the Destroyer's manufacturing technology, somewhat disappointed, but it was not without value.

After handing over a portion of the blood samples from the Warriors Three and Sif to the Starling for analysis and research, Liu Rui'an, in the laboratory, absorbed four drops of dark red blood into his body.

Soon, Liu Rui'an's body began to change.

"So, the so-called gods are only this level? That's too weak."

Looking at the mirror, Liu Rui'an, who had just transformed into Sif, had a face identical to the original Sif, but it was full of disappointment.

He couldn't help but be disappointed. After absorbing Sif's blood and using his ability to alter genes to "adjust" himself into an Asgardian, Liu Rui'an gained a deeper understanding of this so-called god race.

He wasn't sure if it was because the Asgardians in the Marvel Cinematic Universe had been significantly weakened or if absorbing blood alone couldn't fully reveal the true nature of this advanced alien race.

Apart from superhuman strength, speed, reflexes, self-healing, and even digestion, this race was far less powerful than Liu Rui'an had expected, and it seemed somewhat "weak."

After sequentially transforming into the Warriors Three and experiencing their abilities, Liu Rui'an finally confirmed that, while their abilities varied, they were not particularly valuable beyond their unique physiques.

Although this result was somewhat disappointing to Liu Rui'an, with these four blood samples, the conditions for launching his plan against Asgard were now in place.

Considering that Asgard might still have hidden great powers not shown in the movies, Liu Rui'an wasn't foolish enough to rush there for a quick win. Instead, he focused on the remains of the Destroyer.

Compared to the blood of the Warriors Three, these remains were clearly more valuable to Liu Rui'an.

Even though Thor's brutal attack had shattered the Destroyer, the materials alone were a significant gain.

Unfortunately, the destruction was too thorough. Even though the Starling had conducted a comprehensive scan and reconstruction of the remains, it was still impossible to reverse-engineer the manufacturing technology.

Even so, in this transaction with S.H.I.E.L.D. or, more specifically, with Nick Fury, Liu Rui'an had gained a significant advantage with minimal cost.

Perhaps because of the intelligence about HYDRA, Liu Rui'an, who had spent some time in the laboratory, did not face any harassment from S.H.I.E.L.D. but instead received a message from Tony Stark.

"You're really stingy, Tony," Liu Rui'an said teasingly after touring the villa, which had been mostly emptied.

"You said you only wanted the villa and the land. I already left the interior furnishings and the data center, which is pretty generous," Tony Stark, who felt a deep sense of loss, said with a frown.

"You're right. I don't need your toys anyway," Liu Rui'an shrugged, indifferent.

Tony Stark, already black-faced from being tricked into losing his villa and base, couldn't help but retort, "Toys? If my Mark series are toys, then what is your birdman armor?"

"What do you mean by birdman armor? It's called angelic armor," Liu Rui'an, who had tricked him again, wouldn't let the playboy have the upper hand and said with a smile, "What? Are you不服气 (unwilling to admit defeat)? Do you want to have another competition?"

"Let's compete..."

Before Tony Stark could finish, a warning from JARVIS came through the earpiece:

"Sir, please calm down. You just lost the villa."
