Xiaoming stood at the classroom door, took a deep breath, and firmly held the secret letter given to him by his mother.
In the midst of cherry blossoms dancing in the wind, Misaki opened the old diary and read the words of the promise written there.
Considering Loki's danger, after he was captured by the Avengers, on Nick Fury's suggestion and Skye's approval, the Asgardian god of mischief was confined in the underground base of this survival circle.
Because of this, Thor had to come to Titan (Saturn's moon) after fighting the Chitauri army.
Fortunately, Jane Foster was an astrophysicist, and conducting astrophysical research on an extraterrestrial planet was something she had long desired. Otherwise, the two would have had to live apart.
"Thor, the Cosmic Cube is here. Do you want some time to say goodbye to Jane?" Liu Ruian, who was holding the Cosmic Cube with his telekinetic power, smiled.
"No, I've already said goodbye to Jane." Thor, after finishing the wine in his hand, wiped his mouth, stood up, and picked up his hammer, saying, "I hope to return to Asgard as soon as possible to hand Loki over to Father for judgment."
"No problem, let's go then." Liu Ruian nodded and turned to ask, "Nick, do you want to come along?"
"Of course, only after seeing you leave can I report to the higher-ups." Nick Fury, standing up, nodded and said.
"Then let's go."
Liu Ruian, who was not surprised by this decision, activated his telekinetic transportation ability and brought the two to the underground prison where Loki was held.
To prevent the possibility of this god of mischief escaping, the prison was not only built five kilometers underground but also had no entrance or exit.
A thick layer of concrete and special alloy encased an area of about a thousand square meters. To escape, Loki would need to have the ability of telekinetic transportation.
Because of this, the only way to enter and exit this underground prison was for Liu Ruian to lead the way.
Fortunately, although this area was called a prison, it was equipped with complete facilities and supplies. Otherwise, even if Loki hadn't starved to death in a month, his condition wouldn't have been much better.
After experiencing the instant teleportation from the surface to the underground prison, Thor and Nick Fury, though calm on the surface, were even more convinced that Liu Ruian was some kind of birdman.
Even if the two weren't the same person, they definitely had a very close connection.
Thor, who appeared in the outer area of the prison, looked up and down at someone and suddenly said, "Liu, I don't see you making any preparations."
Nick Fury, standing beside him, was also very curious about this.
Jokingly, Liu Ruian wasn't just going to another planet in the solar system; he was crossing the galaxy to a real extraterrestrial planet.
In such a situation, even with confidence in his own strength, he should have made some preparations, such as carrying weapons or power armor.
But this person, apart from a cool-looking outfit, showed no signs of any preparation.
"Don't worry, Thor, I never joke about my own safety."
Liu Ruian smiled and walked toward the core area of the prison.
Sensing visitors, Loki soon appeared before the three, smiling, "Oh, my brother, you finally came. Are you here to take me home?"
After the battle with the Chitauri army, Thor, though not completely giving up on his brother, no longer defended him as he used to.
Considering he couldn't win in words, Thor remained silent in the face of Loki's sinister smile, which made him want to smash him with his hammer.
Liu Ruian's reaction to this god of mischief was even more direct.
Without giving Loki a chance to speak, he sealed his mouth with telekinetic power and then teleported him away.
A few minutes later, a thick blue beam shot out from the solar orbit space station.
After the beam disappeared, Nick Fury, with a serious expression, boarded a spaceship and headed for Earth.
On the other side, using the powerful function of the Cosmic Cube and the spatial coordinates provided by Thor, Liu Ruian and the two others quickly appeared in Asgard, known as the realm of the gods and the celestial palace.
As a distinguished guest who returned the Cosmic Cube and helped Thor capture Loki, Liu Ruian was treated much better than the captured god of mischief.
Led by Thor, Liu Ruian soon met Odin, the All-Father, sitting on the throne in the main hall of Asgard.
But the first thing Liu Ruian noticed upon seeing the All-Father was not the aged Odin but the "Gungnir," the spear symbolizing supreme divine authority, in his hand.
This golden spear was not only beautiful but also extremely durable, sharp, and capable of firing energy beams.
Although the dark gold spear Liu Ruian used as the Archangel Imparius, made of Ederman alloy and other metals, was also very durable and sharp, it was clearly inferior to the "Gungnir."
Jokingly, this thing was on par with Thor's hammer.
However, Liu Ruian knew that even if he had any ideas, they would be useless, at least for now.
After all, the "Gungnir" was not only of the highest quality but also had spiritual significance for Asgard and the Aesir.
"What a pity, if I could get a sample of Odin's blood, not to mention the 'Gungnir,' even the throne of the All-Father wouldn't be out of reach."
Though he thought this, Liu Ruian did not skimp on the necessary etiquette.
As a distinguished guest, and the three conditions he set were not much, Odin, after Thor's report, agreed without hesitation or reneging.
However, for the third condition, learning magic, Odin agreed but set some restrictions.
Fortunately, Liu Ruian only wanted to understand what magic was and prepare for future travels to mystical worlds, so he did not mind the restriction on learning advanced magic.
Whether out of gratitude for returning the Cosmic Cube and Loki, or from Thor's report about Liu Ruian's prophetic abilities and strength, Liu Ruian experienced the luxurious life of Western ancient nobility in the following days.
After learning that Liu Ruian, besides being a seer, could fly and had great strength, Thor became a frequent visitor.
Thus, it was common to see two figures chasing each other in the sky over Asgard or the training ground being damaged due to the two overexerting themselves.
At first, Odin was pleased that his son had found a worthy opponent.
But as Liu Ruian and Thor got more excited, with one throwing lightning and the other firing energy beams, the destruction increased, and Odin had to intervene and send them to an island for practice.
What made Thor both depressed and envious was that Liu Ruian could not only fly and fight but also swim.
Most astonishingly, Liu Ruian's speed in water was much faster than the fastest fish.
With his invisible telekinetic power, he could even use external forces, such as water spouts formed by large amounts of seawater or "rapid-fire cannons" formed by large rocks, making Thor, who initially felt superior as an Asgardian, lose his temper.
Besides sparring with Thor every day, Liu Ruian had to spend two hours each day learning the basics of magic.
The person teaching him magic was not Thor's mother but a maid she highly regarded.
If it were someone else, they might be displeased to learn only the basics of magic.
But to Liu Ruian, these basics were more valuable than any specific magic.
After a few days of study, Liu Ruian was glad he hadn't been foolish enough to really make a deal with Loki.
Otherwise, even if Loki had taught him magic, without the basics, he might not have been able to use it, and he wouldn't have noticed any hidden "backdoors."
Of course, even if the deal with Loki had succeeded, Liu Ruian wouldn't have been foolish enough to directly learn the magic Loki taught.
Jokingly, Loki had even betrayed his brother and adoptive father, so he would definitely need to find some "guinea pigs" in another world to test it.
Although his brain usage had dropped significantly after stopping the use of the NZT series of smart drugs, Liu Ruian's memory was still far superior to that of ordinary people.
In just a week, he had memorized all the basic knowledge of magic.
Even if the content was not comprehensive, the various fields covered by these basics still gave Liu Ruian a sense of surprise.
Another unexpected surprise came when Liu Ruian could fight Thor evenly and fly without any external aid.
Especially when Liu Ruian, during a fight with Thor, accidentally overexerted himself and nearly injured a girl, he had to save her and fly her into the sky.
After that, girls kept coming to invite Liu Ruian.
First, a girl with a decent appearance came to thank him for saving her, followed by many other girls using various reasons to "attack" Liu Ruian.
Liu Ruian knew that these girls' proactive actions were not, or not entirely, due to his impressive abilities.
Behind this, there was definitely the intention of the All-Father Odin and Thor's mother, Frigga, but so what?
To refuse such (pleasure) without responsibility would be foolish. (To be continued...)
