A foreigner's journey

"In other words, you saw a humanoid spider leaping and crawling between buildings?"

At the dinner table, cousin Claire looked at Heather in surprise, even forgetting to put the prosciutto on the fork into her mouth:

"...I always thought you were not the kind of naive 17-year-old boy who likes to fantasize, cousin Heather."

Claire is a slender beauty and the epitome of today's typical American female college students - looking at money, looks, and mood. Of course, there is also the extremely persistent egalitarian way of thinking and vicious tongue.

“Perhaps our UConn Merit Scholar has finally made the discovery that will lead to him receiving the Nobel Prize in Biology.”

Uncle Marty struggled to free his head from the tower of ham on his dinner plate.

His body shape hovered between fat and muscular, except for the pile of prosciutto slices sprinkled with cheese on his plate.

Cousin John next to him burst into laughter after hearing his father's bad joke.

Marty thought he had found a soulmate and also grinned.

Claire couldn't help rolling her eyes: "Dad, Johnny is laughing at you."

Marty's face was stern and he glared at John: "Hey! What's wrong with what I said?"

"Dad, there is no biology prize for the Nobel Prize." John, who was just a freshman in high school, said with a trembling voice while suppressing laughter.

At this time, Aunt Susan put the last bowl of vegetable and fruit salad on the table and sat down in her seat with a smile:

"After Heather said he saw a humanoid spider, I stopped the car and looked at it for a while, but unfortunately I didn't see it. Mrs. Lewis next door is very afraid of spiders. One time I saw her scared by a spider as big as a fingernail in church. convulsing, God bless her.

By the way, Johnny, Mrs. Lewis's daughter Megan is in the same class as you, why don't you go to and from school together? I remember she was a very cute girl..."

John shouted righteously: "Oh my god, mom, do you know what Meg's full name is? Megatron! I will never go to school with this freak. It will further lower my reputation in school!"

Claire looked at John with drooped eyelids and a look of disgust: "You just think Meghan is not good-looking. You are objectifying women! It's extremely disrespectful!"

Thanks to Aunt Susan's 'efforts', the topic of this dinner successfully deviated from Heather's 'humanoid spider theory' to a feminist debate contest between siblings.

The previous center of the conversation, Heather Annorn, was still poking the prosciutto on the plate nonchalantly with her fork.

Although his eyesight was not very good due to excessive reading as a child, he was certain that the figure he saw walking between the buildings in the afternoon was definitely a human being.

Humans crawling and jumping along the sides of buildings with spider-like movements.

While Heather was thinking, cousin John suddenly remembered something and looked at Heather: "Speaking of spiders, I did hear some rumors about 'spiders' in school today."

"What, you also want to win the Nobel Prize in Biology?" Claire picked up the cup and took a sip of orange juice.

Uncle Marty spread his hands and said angrily: "Hey! I just made a slip of the tongue. There is no need to hold on to it all the time, right?"

"No, no, no, I remembered it. I did hear my classmates mention spiders. It seems that a weird guy wearing tights and a mask has appeared in New York these days, and he is going around fighting injustices."

John recalled carefully: "Everyone said that guy behaved a bit like a spider."

Uncle Marty got excited: "Tights? Humph, the atmosphere in the United States today has completely gone astray. There are all sissies in tights posing on the streets. If you ask me, this is a transvestite, a freak, and she deserves it. Caught by the police and locked up for ten or twenty years. Hey, I bet that guy is Polish or a person of color...you know."

As he spoke, Uncle Marty raised his eyebrows and made a 'BLACK' gesture.

"Dad! Oh my God! You are being nakedly racist!" Claire's eyes widened, looking unbelievable.

"Then tell me why that freak used a tights and a mask to hide himself?" Uncle Marty said plausibly.

A debate that was customary for the Bennett family immediately broke out at the dinner table.

Spider... Heather rubbed her chin subconsciously.

Suddenly, he felt that the world was not as boring as he had always thought.

……………………

A luxurious and lively banquet was being held in the huge and magnificent palace.

Today, Thor, the eldest son of God King Odin, returned from an expedition to Muspelheim with a great victory. The God King specially held a feast in the Hall of Valor to celebrate the birth of his beloved eldest son.

At the banquet, Thor, the tall, strong and handsome God of Thunder with long blond hair, held his friend in his arms and raised his wine glass, laughing and singing loudly while drinking the wine.

People surrounded Thor, they loved him and worshiped him, and everyone believed that Thor was the future Lord of the Nine Realms.

In the corner of the banquet, Loki, who had long, greasy black hair, took a sip from his wine glass and stared gloomily at his brother who was making a big show of himself.

Then, he turned his attention to the God King Odin who was sitting on the throne of the Hall of Valor.

Odin looked at Thor with a faint smile on his face.

My son is strong but arrogant. If he wants to become a true king, he still needs training.

But it wasn't today. Odin smiled as he watched everyone singing and dancing at the banquet, and couldn't help but tap his fingers on the armrest of the throne.

Like his own son, Odin loved parties. Being a spoiler is not what you should do as the Lord of the Nine Realms.

Suddenly, his remaining left eye suddenly opened wide and looked toward the ceiling.

This scene happened to be discovered by Loki, who was watching Odin from a distance. The young prince couldn't help but wonder - what happened to make Odin, the supreme god king who rules the nine realms, look shocked?

Meanwhile, Kamal Taj.

In the meditation room where incense was burning, freshly brewed tea and cups were spilled on the floor, making the carpet wet.

A bald woman of indeterminate age stood up from her seat and looked in the direction of the distant sky in confusion.

She is the Ancient One, the supreme mage who suppresses the demons of all realms and protects the earth from intrusion.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Next to him, a strong and burly black mage asked.

He is the disciple of Ancient One, Baron Mordo. Although his strength is not as good as that of Ancient One, he is still an extremely powerful mage.

Precisely because he knew how powerful Gu Yi was, Modu couldn't understand what was going on at this time, which could make the usually calm and indifferent teacher show such a surprised expression.

He really couldn't understand it because it was beyond his ability to understand.

Only strong men of Odin and Ancient One's level can detect the slightest clue.

They can 'see' that outside the earth, outside the nine realms, outside the universe, outside the endless cause and effect and multiverse, a pair of golden eyes are slowly opening and focusing on the earth.

Something is happening on Earth!
