The era of American comics begins

Chapter 211 Ether Particles ([-]rd)
This is a very old story.

Asgardians believe that in an era that cannot even be traced back to history, the universe was a chaotic darkness.And this darkness gave birth to its unique people - "dark elves".

This race is too ancient, and their stories have almost become illusory legends today, only recorded in the classics handed down from generation to generation in Asgard.Their stories are too old for Odin, the Immortal and Almighty Father, to remember.

At that time, Odin had not yet sat on the throne of Asgard (MCU setting). At that time, it was King Baoer, Odin's father, who was in charge of the Asgard army.According to the records in the book, the dark elves are an extremely cruel and evil race, and an elf named Malekith is particularly prominent in this race. 5000 years ago, Malekith vainly attempted to lead the army of dark elves to infect the Nine Kingdoms, engulfing everything into the darkness that gave birth to them.And to do this, they need an unprecedentedly powerful weapon - ether particles.

Perhaps there is only such a weapon in the world that can realize Malekith's delusion.The ether particle is the carrier of the "Raw Stone of Reality" among the six infinite rough stones. Perhaps it is related to the powerful ability of that rough stone to modify reality, so the ether particle has the power to engulf everything into darkness.The dark elves have a special way to control the ether, and only they can control this weapon and exert its power.Once they succeed, all the nine kingdoms will be swallowed by darkness, just like returning to before the birth of all things.

Fortunately, Malekith's plot was thwarted by the Asgard army at that time.King Baoer personally led the troops to fight the dark elves in a tragic decisive battle. After both sides paid a huge price, Asgard was lucky enough to win the decisive battle.Most of the dark elves were wiped out in that battle. Only Malekith himself and his remnants fled the battlefield in a spaceship, and his whereabouts are still unknown.

And the ether particles—although King Bauer at that time wanted to destroy this dangerous weapon very much, but this force was too powerful even for them, so that it was impossible to destroy it.So King Bol ordered it to be buried so deep that it would never be discovered by anyone.

Well, perhaps the most interesting thing about stories like these that end with something "sealed," "buried," or "sunk into the sea" is that they will one day be rediscovered.

deep in the universe.

Pieces of pitch-black meteorites floated in the quiet darkness.A dark red light lit up between the stones without warning, like tired eyes that opened.The light slowly outlined steel lines in the darkness, vaguely forming a huge cross, which turned out to be a huge ship.

More and more red lights lit up in various parts of the cross ship, and it seemed that all its areas were slowly waking up.A certain black metal device in the central area was automatically activated as if being pulled by some invisible force. The dark red light path crawled along the sides of the device to the top like a bug, and the black mask on the top was automatically released.White light from a nearby star shone in from outside, illuminating a face as pale as paper.The pale eyelids opened suddenly, revealing a pair of cold blue eyes like cold-blooded animals.

The dark elf, Malekith, has awakened.

For 5000 years, such a long sleep made him almost forget how to control his body.He jumped off the disabling device, took a few unsteady steps, and put his hands on the wall.He stood on a high place and looked down. The white light illuminated the neat rows of dormant cabins. The cabins were released one after another, and the sleeping dark elves woke up one after another, like countless cocoons turning into cocoons. Become a butterfly.

"Ether particles have awakened us." Malekith let go of his heavy and powerful voice, and said loudly to all compatriots, "5000 years have passed, and the convergence of celestial bodies has restarted. Find the ether, and our era is coming!"

"The phase energy is weakening, and the boundary point is closing automatically." Shirley reminded Michael when he approached the end of the corridor, "The space channel is disappearing, and only a small amount of light or fluctuations can penetrate the channel to enter the other side , but the channel can no longer support material penetration.”

"understood."

Michael said lightly.He raised his hand, and opened a light golden magic circle in his palm.The magic power poured into the palm along the transmission system of the gauntlet, and shot into the air from the center of the magic circle.The space fluctuated violently, like a lake stirred by branches.The circular magic circle expanded around that point, forcing open the passage entrance that was about to disappear.

"The channel is expected to last for 3 minutes." Shirley said, "If you want to go there, you'd better come back within 3 minutes, sir. Otherwise, you may have to find another way out."

"Enough." Michael replied, striding into the portal.

Through this door, a dark and cold world rushes forward.Outside the door is a deep cliff surrounded by boulders.Michael spotted the fainting female doctor at first sight.Jane Foster curled up into a ball, lying on her side on the black rock, her long hair scattered all over the floor.

Behind her stood two stacked boulders, with blood-like dark red lines engraved on the stone walls.

Michael crouched beside her, activating the suit's scanner.

"This is Jane Foster, the astrophysicist."

"How is she?"

"The scan of physiological signs shows that the female doctor is very healthy, but she is extremely tired." Shirley projected the data results on the computer interface in front of Michael's eyes, "but the spectral scan seems to indicate that there is some unknown substance in her body, which is expressed The energies and signatures extracted are extremely unique, and there is no match in any known matter. The equipment built into the armor is not enough to scan it further."

Michael didn't speak.He made a simple seal, and released a translucent magic circle in the palm of his right hand, a detection spell.Like a scanner, he slowly scanned the unconscious doctor's head from her head to her footsteps.A certain kind of dark red energy gradually emerged from under her fair, almost transparent skin.It rolled like a liquid, like the blood flowing through her body.

But that thing seemed to be spiritual, it actually responded to Michael's detection spell.The dark red fluid suddenly jumped violently from her body, as if forming countless sharp cones and stabbing out of her body.It slammed into the translucent magic circle in Michael's hand, shattering the magic circle in his hand.

"It's quite irritable." Michael withdrew his palm and didn't care.

"This stuff is protecting its host," Shirley said. "It doesn't look like it's going to be easy to extract it from the host. So now, sir, how do we do it?"

Michael stood up and glanced down at the unconscious Ms. Foster.

"Let's take her back to Earth first."
