American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

Thor stepped out of the beam of light from the Rainbow Bridge, carrying his temperamental hammer. As the light dissipated, he saw the two people who had come to greet him.

Luke and Nick.

Seeing the much more composed Thor, Nick's expression was somewhat complicated.

“Where is the Star Soul?” After exchanging greetings with the two, Thor immediately asked the key question. In front of familiar people like Luke, his personality remained cheerful and straightforward.

“Are you sure you want to bring that thing back to Asgard?” Nick asked, still puzzled. In his opinion, Thor probably wanted to prevent Ragnarok more than anyone else, but now he was going to create one himself?

“What thing? The Star Soul?” Thor was a little surprised by Nick's question. He looked at Nick and pondered for a moment, saying, “You can't deny it's a good thing, can you? Asgard spent a lot of money on it.”

“You even took Asgard's money?” Nick once again turned his astonished gaze to Luke beside him. He knew that this Luke was very greedy for wealth, but he didn't expect him to be this greedy.

From what he gathered in the storage room, this project had been planned from the start. But to be able to avoid paying money, and even get others to pay for it, and bear the costs of the plan and project, was simply outrageous.

Thor's mind might not be able to handle these things, but what about Odin?

From Luke's words, it seemed that the God-King Odin had also been taken care of.

“Why can't I take it?” Luke said, puzzled by Nick's astonishment. “That's the Star Soul! A Star Soul that can hatch a powerful Titan! To use game terms, it's at least a divine beast egg or something. If there were no benefits, why wouldn't I keep it for myself?

Do you know what price Mephisto and Dormammu offered for it? If another me and Ancient One didn't have a commitment to Azeroth, Asgard wouldn't have had a chance to get involved. Mephisto and Dormammu would have fought over it long ago.”

“Don't worry, I've learned all the information and made the decision after discussing it with Father. At least it can make Asgard and the Nine Realms more stable and stronger. There are other ways to hatch it.” Thor smiled at Nick, not worried.

This was just a weak, incomplete version of the Star Soul. Without using any means to help it, it would take tens of thousands of years to replenish its state and start evolving towards hatching.

This time was enough for the Asgardian gods to become stronger under the influence of the Star Soul.

As Odin said, their current position did not allow them to be without power. Their partners were becoming stronger and stronger, and if they didn't keep up, they would inevitably be marginalized. The consequences might be even worse.

The demon gods were willing to sit at the conference table and cooperate with each other, but that didn't mean they had abandoned their past styles and concepts.

“Have you sorted out Asgard's ley lines according to the requirements?” Luke asked proactively for insurance.

“If the blueprints you gave are correct.” Thor said confidently, “My mother and Karnilla, including Father, three magic masters, worked together, plus my divine duty, Asgard is ready to accept the Star Soul.”

“Okay then. I'll give you permission to connect Asgard's Rainbow Bridge to the Silent City's Rainbow Bridge for transit. The commotion might be a bit big, you'd better evacuate the crowd as required.” After hearing Thor's words, Luke didn't delay any longer and mobilized the machinery in Silent City.

In a slight hum, the mechanical ground beneath their feet collapsed into a large circle, then split in the middle from left to right, revealing a huge cube brought out by the roaring machinery below.

The cube was jet black, but it shimmered with starlight. Like breathing, it was bright and dark, magnificent and charming.

“The Star Soul is in this space box. As long as it's transported back to Asgard, opened with the [key], and then placed into the core node prepared by Asgard, the transfer is complete.” Luke stepped forward, looked up at the black box that was at least fifty meters high, and turned his head to say.

“Asgardian divine power, I know.” Thor nodded. Besides the creator Luke, only the royal family with Asgardian divine power could open this box. Asgardian divine power was the key Luke had set for this black box.

“As for evacuating the crowd, there's no need to worry. Before coming, the people of Asgard had already been sent to other parts of the Nine Realms for tourism by the Rainbow Bridge.”

“Let's go then, do you want to go see it together?” Luke opened the dome and looked at Nick next to him, who was lost in thought, and asked.

“Is it troublesome?” Nick looked at Thor with interest.

“It shouldn't be a problem, just stay by Luke's side then. I might not be able to take care of you.” Thor nodded readily.

As Thor stood next to the black box and raised his warhammer high, shouting Heimdall's name, a dazzling light descended from the sky, enveloping them along with the black box, and then disappeared together.

When they regained their footing after the weightless state, they had been pushed out of the teleportation channel and arrived in the Rainbow Bridge hall, which was filled with shimmering light and paved with highly condensed energy crystals.

God-King Odin, Queen Frigga, and Karnilla, along with Heimdall, the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, all turned their attention to the huge black box.

After greeting Luke, the group used their divine power to transmit into the black box according to a certain frequency. Soon, they heard a faint click, and the black box, like burning ashes, dissipated into the air, revealing the Star Soul inside, which had been shaped into a large ball of light, expanding and contracting like a heart.

“Welcome to your new home.” After connecting with the light ball's ignorant consciousness, Odin immediately controlled his power to carefully lift it up, regardless of whether the other party, who was like a blank sheet of paper, could understand.

Odin, Frigga, Karnilla, and Thor, each took a side, flew high, and then came to the front of Asgard's palace. As Thor slammed his hammer on the ground from the sky, Asgard's land seemed to experience a strong earthquake. Tiny cracks appeared on the ground and then spread to both sides. Accompanied by a rumbling vibration, a huge abyss was torn out on the ground.

Seeing this scene, God-King Odin and the other two immediately controlled the Star Soul and placed it into the deepest part of the abyss, which was also the center of Asgard's earth. Then they helped Thor close the cracked ground again.

The whole process was not complicated to say, and it looked very shocking, but only the participants could understand the power consumed and the preparations made.

As the ground rumbled and began to close, Thor's face turned red. It was not until the ground closed tightly together, and the bottomless crack could no longer be seen, that Thor landed on the ground somewhat exhausted.

Tearing open the current Asgardian land and re-healing it, the consumption and effort of this opening and closing was enough for Thor to drink a pot. However, according to Luke's plan, in front of Asgard's original palace, an energy lake had long been transformed and sorted out, connecting to the depths of the underground.

Everyone was waiting with bated breath for a certain moment to arrive.

Suddenly, Odin and the others looked in surprise at the direction of the lake.

Violent and powerful energy rose from the sky, turning into a magnificent pillar of light. The energy-condensed liquid spread to all parts of Asgard with the rain clouds.

From a high vantage point, Nick on the airship almost watched the scene below in shock. The thick ground seemed to become transparent, with colorful lines like blood vessels and meridians, spreading from the pillar of light to the entire land of Asgard.

The rumbling sounds rose and fell at this moment, as if the depths of Asgard were operating and moving like a machine according to a certain rule. The whole process lasted for a full ten hours before it became quiet.

Surprisingly, even though such a big movement occurred below, Asgard's buildings and ecology were not destroyed too seriously. A new powerful force began to gradually occupy the space of Asgard, turning into an air-like existence.

Looking at the disappearing pillar of light, and then looking at the exhausted energy lake, Karnilla and the others were unable to determine whether it was successful for a while. After looking at each other for a moment, they turned their attention to Luke in the airship in the sky.

But before they could ask Luke, the next moment, they heard the sound of flowing water, and the moist air after the rain was filled with an indescribable energy that began to become active.

The exhausted huge lake, the water level was rising rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye. The rich and powerful force became more and more obvious with the rise of the water level.

After the water level rose to a certain position, it slowed down and paused. But that new energy had already begun to nourish and contaminate everything in Asgard.

The powerful energy was obviously restricted by some strong force, and began to transport energy stably in all directions like an energy core according to the planned settings. In just a moment, that subtle, only those who are sensitive to energy can quickly detect the arcane energy, began to become obviously easy to perceive.

“This power?” Karnilla, feeling a certain force penetrate her body, spread out her palm in disbelief. Even just now, she still had some doubts about the intelligence information that Odin said. But the facts proved that this was indeed a powerful and infinitely potential energy.

Especially for mages, the existence of this energy is simply the biggest surprise!

Even if it was only a short moment, Karnilla had already sensed what she could do with this energy called arcane. It is pure, without any hidden dangers, and energy with greater lethality and power.

“Don't immerse yourself in it. There will be plenty of time to get familiar with it in the future. But now, we have to complete the last step and apply layers of protective enchantment to it. Asgard's previous enchantments were all disordered and invalid just now, and we must complete the newly formulated enchantment as soon as possible.” God-King Odin interrupted Karnilla's joy.

Looking at the dissatisfied look she gave him, Odin said softly: “Although arcane energy does not have any major sequelae, the newborn is like a sweet-smelling cheese, which will attract many peepers. We must reduce the occurrence of this dangerous situation as soon as possible.”

Asgard's energy has attracted many invaders before, but this time, after the epic strengthening of arcane energy, if no measures are taken, Asgard will probably have to face the harassment and attacks of those peepers every three days.

All kinds of dimensional creatures from various dimensions, and even some powerful dimensional demon gods.

Odin was not afraid of war, his body can now accommodate and bear more power, and he will not have to enter Odin's sleep often because of insufficient physique due to the rise of power. But not being afraid does not mean that he is willing to see uninvited guests come to his home and wreak havoc, or even occupy the magpie's nest every three days.

He plans to give Asgard's enchantment a new look and reinforce it again. And the sample for the enchantment is the enchantment technology that Luke found from Titan's laboratory.

I have to say that these enchantment technologies are not worse than the enchantment of the Supreme Mage lineage, and even have an unparalleled advantage in specific aspects.

Although his and Asgard's wealth have been greatly reduced again, Odin still thinks this business is very worthwhile.

Knowledge, power, the way forward.

One business can achieve three goals. Odin is very satisfied.

The three people who were good at magic immediately began to use Asgard's new power to set up enchantments. The biggest role of these enchantments is to block any external enemies and visitors, and to bind and hide the fluctuations of arcane energy. Restrained within Asgard.

Of course, this power will still have to go through the energy cycle system of the World Tree in the future. In the best case, there is also hope that the World Tree will grow and evolve again.

Although this will completely close Asgard, the modified enchantment can be entered and exited through the Rainbow Bridge. At that time, it will be nothing more than the Rainbow Bridge being activated more frequently.

“Do you want to come to Asgard to buy a house and live for a long time? Here, after being nourished by arcane energy, your physical condition and lifespan will be adjusted and evolved in a better direction.” Luke smiled mischievously: “Maybe you will become the first black-skinned elf? A brand new dark elf, different from Malekith and the others?”

Hearing Luke's words, Nick's face instantly turned black, of course, his skin was already black, so you couldn't really see it.
