American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

"It seems you're under a lot of pressure." Luke glanced at the order Thor handed over, then put it down, looking at Thor with surprise.

Nick, standing beside him, was puzzled. With Luke's permission, he took the Odin's order and looked at it. He couldn't help but breathe heavily. Again, the knowledge and insights he had gained from Luke and the Sorcerer Supreme had long broadened his horizons beyond Midgard. He couldn't claim to know every detail about the materials of the Nine Realms and some resources of the Hell dimension, but he was certainly intimately familiar with some famous, rare, and most suitable materials for them.

After reading the order, he understood why Luke only needed to glance at it before dismissing it. He could feel his heart pounding in his chest, his blood rushing through his veins, and even his body temperature rising. It was only because of his dark complexion that the flush of excitement wasn't obvious.

Nick felt the scales in his heart completely tilting under the weight of this order.

Uru metal!

Mines of the Nine Realms.

Asgardian knowledge and technology.

Dwarven secret crafting techniques.

And so on.

Even with Nick's critical eye, he couldn't find any fault with the order. The sincerity of King Odin was fully evident in this order. He was now just distressed that the order was too sincere, making him extremely envious.

"What assistance does King Odin need from me?" Luke asked directly. Since the other party had shown sincerity, he naturally had to reciprocate.

"We need a new [High-Dimensional Space Core Device] to restore the Rainbow Bridge." Thor and his father also knew that the Space Stone had become a life form, and it would be difficult to take it back for borrowing. So, King Odin didn't mention the Space Stone at all, but instead indirectly ordered a [High-Dimensional Space Core Device]. With this device, Asgard's Rainbow Bridge could be quickly restored to its original state.

"No problem." Luke nodded decisively, agreeing immediately. He had been prepared for this and was waiting for Thor to make the request. "I have a backup [High-Dimensional Space Core Device]. Although it doesn't perfectly match Asgard's Rainbow Bridge, the technology is essentially the same. After some modifications, I can sell it to you first, and you can use it in the meantime."

"That's great!" Thor was pleasantly surprised, both by Luke's straightforwardness and by the fact that he had a backup. He wasn't surprised by the need for modification. Even though his mind was full of combat muscles, he knew that the Rainbow Bridge needed constant maintenance and calibration.

"But before the Rainbow Bridge is restored, we would like to borrow your Rainbow Bridge, of course, paying for it." Thor's mood was a bit complicated when he said this. He never thought that as the Prince of Asgard, he would one day have to pay someone else to use the Rainbow Bridge!

"I'll grant Asgard a temporary usage authorization." Luke remained straightforward. "The temporary authorization will be revoked when Asgard's Rainbow Bridge is restored."

He didn't offer free use, after all, using the Rainbow Bridge once consumed a considerable amount of energy. Although it was insignificant to him now.

Luke's straightforwardness moved Thor and eased his anxiety. He continued, "We need you to provide technical support. I know you have mind rings and the technology to create powerful machines. We are currently short of manpower and combat power."

Luke looked at Nick beside him. Faced with Luke's gaze, Nick didn't react immediately, but the next moment, he understood and took the initiative to speak, "S.H.I.E.L.D. can provide a large number of elite agents, uh, wearing mind rings. At the same time, S.H.I.E.L.D. will mobilize the resources of the entire world to supply Heberon with enough war machines."

"I'm starting to find your bald head a little pleasing, Nick," Thor said with great emotion, making Nick Fury's face darken. Fortunately, his face was already dark enough that no one could tell.

"You need to pay for the services," Nick said with a serious expression.

"I recently developed a new technology that I think can also solve some of your current predicament," Luke suddenly said.

"What technology?" X2.

Luke's words attracted the bright gazes of Thor and Nick. Luke didn't hide anything and projected the subspecies information of the Brood after connecting to the data dimension.

"Midgard has recently suffered another invasion from a remote planet, an Inhuman named Hive. I extracted some special genes from his body," Luke began enthusiastically.

"This is, a biological weapon?" Nick frowned slightly, looking at the menacing appearance of the Brood subspecies.

"You can think of it that way. After all, they are born hunters," Luke replied, while releasing more information.

"Is this okay?" Thor blinked. "I don't distrust your technology, but this mode of warfare was eliminated by us thousands of years ago. Apart from the humans of Midgard, the other lives of the Nine Realms are not too fond of biological weapons and viruses."

"You can try it out, for example, with one or two prisoners. The stronger the host they parasitize, the stronger their mature form will be," Luke said casually. "I'm also very curious to know the limit that this insect egg can parasitize."

Thor also seriously looked at the so-called subspecies information. He admitted that this biological weapon still had some deterrent power, but how effective it would be was doubtful. At least for now, Thor believed in head-on collisions of strength. But since Luke said so, he didn't mind taking it back to show his father.

"Can we use weapons of mass destruction?" Nick asked.

"Unless absolutely necessary, try not to use anti-star weapons and highly polluting weapons. This will disrupt the energy balance of the Nine Realms and have a negative impact on the World Tree," Thor shook his head. After speaking, Thor looked at Luke: "Finally, we need a batch of powerful equipment. We know you are building equipment for Mephisto's demons, and we need the same. Malekith has occupied the dwarven kingdom and enslaved a large number of dwarves, which has made it impossible for Asgard to replace and maintain a large amount of equipment.

I know you are very proficient in similar equipment manufacturing technology. If there are manufacturing difficulties, providing technical and human assistance to repair the equipment is also acceptable. We can send people over to guide."
