The savior of American comics? I am the evil god of the subspace!

"Damn it, someone tell me, how have those [Dark Elves] managed to build so many factories of such a large scale in such a short period of time?"

The veins on Thor's hand bulged, and he gripped the ore tightly. A faint sound of stone cracking and rubbing immediately came from his palm, and a rustling of powder and small particles fell from the gaps between his fingers.

Rumble—

At this moment, a huge roar suddenly came from the valley in the distance. Immediately afterward, Thor and the others saw several [Dark Elf] transport ships using吊锁 and steel cables to pull the wreckage of several severely damaged giant spaceships from below the ground, as if pulling up radishes, and then dragging them towards a certain direction.

"That is…"

Thor keenly noticed that the shapes of those severely damaged giant spaceship wrecks were almost identical to the "Cross-shaped Mothership" that Malekith rode when he attacked [Asgard] before. It was likely left over from the great war thousands of years ago.

What exactly do these [Dark Elves] want to do with these spaceship wrecks?

"Your Highness, look at the sky over there!"

At this moment, a scout accompanying him suddenly pointed to an area on the right side of the group and exclaimed in surprise. Thor and the others quickly looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a jagged, huge crack suddenly open in the scarlet clouds, as terrifying as a demon's giant mouth full of sharp teeth appearing out of thin air.

Immediately afterward, a huge "Cross-shaped" spaceship flew out of the crack and slowly hovered in mid-air.

And the destination of those transport ships dragging the spaceship wrecks was precisely this large crack—the crack directly leading to the interior of the [Subspace]!!

Seeing this, if Thor still couldn't figure out what Malekith and the [Dark Elves] were planning, then he would truly be unworthy of inheriting the throne of [Asgard].

Thor's pupils suddenly contracted, and he exclaimed in shock: "Damn it, wouldn't those [Dark Elves] be planning to use the wreckage of those spaceships to build new spaceships inside the [Subspace]?"

Under normal circumstances, even if the [Dark Elves] took a 'shortcut' and directly used the wreckage of those spaceships as the skeleton of the new spaceships, it would still take at least ten years or more to rebuild a brand new Cross-shaped spaceship.

After all, the huge size of the Cross-shaped spaceship was there.

However, when the wreckage of these spaceships is brought into the [Subspace] for repair and reconstruction, the situation becomes completely different.

Because Thor clearly remembered that Karl had told him in [Sokovia] that the [Subspace] was an extremely special dimensional space, and the concept of 'time' had no effect within it.

That is to say… one thought is eternity!

Now, if they want to stop the [Dark Elves]' plan and delay the construction speed of the Cross-shaped spaceship to the greatest extent, the only way is to destroy the ore raw materials that are continuously being transported into the [Subspace].

However, these mining fields are distributed in different areas of the entire planet. Unless a large-scale force can be deployed at one time, it is simply impossible to completely destroy these mining fields.

Affected by the energy of the Subspace, the [Rainbow Bridge] is still unable to perform normal space teleportation to [Svartalfheim].

Using [Dark Energy] to teleport is too dangerous. It would be very good if half of the force could be teleported here alive.

In addition, the spatial rift they just passed through can only accommodate a small [Skiff], and cannot carry out a large-scale troop transport…

In addition, the Dark Elf warriors who have been blessed by the [Chaos Gods] are far more powerful than ordinary Asgardian warriors…

And the tens of thousands of [Frost Giants] who have been summoned by Malekith and have been transformed into [Nurgle Plague Zombies] are even more daunting…

"Damn it, Loki, I should have brought you here to see what you've done!!"

A look of unwillingness appeared on Thor's face, but he was helpless about it.

He really wanted to rush into those mining fields with [Mjolnir] and wreak havoc, just like he used to.

But doing so would likely backfire. Not only would it not solve any problems, but it would also speed up the [Dark Elves]' actions.

Just as Thor was hesitating whether to return, a scout responsible for guarding behind him suddenly warned loudly, "Enemies found on the west cliff…"

Before he finished speaking, three unusually burly figures suddenly jumped straight down from the top of the rock wall.

Boom boom boom—

Three [Chaos Curse Warriors] covered in sharp bone spurs crashed heavily to the ground, and the entire area trembled violently.

The scarlet Chaos Flames were burning in their eye sockets, and they were obviously followers of [Khorne].

Without the slightest hesitation, the three [Chaos Curse Warriors] immediately launched a charge towards Thor and the others, leaving a series of scorched black giant footprints on the ground.

"Leave these three guys to me, you go first…"

While spinning [Mjolnir] in his hand, Thor instructed loudly: "You split into two groups, one group rushes back to [Asgard] to report what happened here to my father, and tell him that the [Dark Elves] are using the [Subspace] to build spaceships…

The other group goes to [Nidavellir] to notify the [Dwarf King] and ask the blacksmiths under him to check whether all the [Black Stone Obelisks] are operating normally!!"

After saying that, Thor activated the [Thor Force] in his body, and with the guidance of [Mjolnir], he descended a giant lightning bolt from the sky, directly blasting away the two [Chaos Curse Warriors] who were in the lead.

However, apart from wisps of green smoke rising from their bodies, they did not suffer any damage.

Seeing this, Thor couldn't help but squeeze out a helpless wry smile on his face, "It seems like I'm going to be busy today!!"

……

……

[Asgard].

"Cough cough cough…"

"Ah, doctor, save me, I feel like something is tormenting my soul, ah, it hurts so much…"

Deep within the [Asgardian Palace], the [Medical Room] was already overflowing. Physicians bustled back and forth, but the number of patients seeking treatment only increased.

Even the corridors outside were crowded with Asgardian warriors, standing, sitting, or lying down, all waiting their turn.

Moans and screams echoed incessantly…

Almost all of these people shared a common trait: they had all recently contracted this unknown, strange disease.

Initially, some individuals displayed symptoms resembling a mild cold, with only fever and coughing.

Therefore, the doctors, including [Asgard's Chief Medical Officer] Eir, did not realize that the sudden surge in patients would trigger an unprecedented viral crisis.

In just two days, some of the weaker soldiers who had received simple treatment saw their conditions worsen, experiencing severe internal bleeding and emitting horrifying moans and screams.

After careful examination, the doctors discovered that the internal organs of these soldiers seemed to be undergoing fatal damage from some unknown virus.

However… they were helpless. Faced with the unknown virus, the doctors could only try to soothe the soldiers' emotions and increase the dosage of painkillers and sedatives.

In Odin's palace, the exquisite glass made of colored crystal seemed to be covered with a layer of dust, dim and oppressive.

The [Eternal Flower] placed on the carved wooden frame was nearing withering.

The back of its once emerald-bright leaves was now covered with spiderweb-like black veins, as if it too was affected by some kind of virus.

Odin sat weakly on the throne, the light in his single eye dimmer than usual.

"Cough, cough, cough… Puh…"

Odin coughed violently, then spat out a mouthful of foul black blood, startling the female physician Eir, who was preparing medicine for him and Queen Frigga. She quickly handed him the medicinal soup, her voice trembling as she pleaded:

"Your Majesty, you must undergo [Odin's Sleep], or the condition may develop to an immeasurable extent."

"I'm fine… cough, cough, cough…"

Odin took the medicinal soup and drank it all in one gulp. After a long pause, he continued to ask: "What exactly is going on with the plague that has recently appeared in [Asgard]? Has the source been identified? Why did it suddenly spread without warning?"

"This…"

Eir shook her head with a troubled expression, replying in a trembling voice: "We only know for now that this plague started spreading from within [Asgard], but we have no clue about the source and nature of the plague…"

"However, judging from the symptoms displayed by some patients, this strange disease, in addition to attacking other people's internal organs, also seems to affect the soul…"

"Useless, a bunch of useless trash!"

Odin roared fiercely: "The [Soul Forging Furnace] is the most advanced medical device within the [Nine Realms], yet you can't even identify such an obscure disease?!"

Eir lowered her head silently. In fact, she really wanted to tell Odin that this plague was different from any disease she had encountered before.

Its complexity was unprecedented!

Because she had detected dozens of different unknown viruses in the blood of those patients with severe bleeding, and these viruses were mutating and evolving at an alarming rate.

She couldn't even tell which one was causing the massive bleeding… or whether all the viruses could?

However, everyone, including Odin, would never have imagined that the source of this 'strange disease'—was actually the [Soul-Eating Disease] that Thor brought back from [Jotunheim]!!

"Don't blame Eir, she has already tried her best."

Not far away, Queen Frigga, lying on the bed and looking slightly pale, struggled to prop up her heavy body with her arms, then rubbed her somewhat dizzy forehead and said to Odin:

"Rest assured, I believe Eir and the others will be able to find a way to cure this plague, but before that, you must enter [Odin's Sleep]…"

As Queen, Frigga's physique was far stronger than that of ordinary [Asgardians], and she, like Odin and Thor, had a super physique that could immunize her against all diseases.

So even though she had been infected with the [Soul-Eating Disease] early on, she had not shown any symptoms.

However, as time went on, the [Soul-Eating Disease]'s erosion of Queen Frigga's soul had become increasingly deeper, and her spirit had gradually begun to weaken.

"No, wait a little longer."

Odin sighed weakly and shook his head stubbornly: "I have been feeling uneasy these past few days. [Valhalla] seems to be reminding me that something bad is about to happen!!"

"Should it be that you are too anxious?"

Queen Frigga comforted softly: "Nowadays, Thor has successfully curbed the corruption of Chaos energy to the major countries in the [Nine Realms] by using the [Black Stone Obelisk], and the [Eye of Fear] no longer expands outward, everything is developing in a good direction… Only your body is getting worse and worse!!"

Odin on the throne shook his head again, "A few hours ago, Thor sent back a message… A large number of refugees who had been plundered by the [Dark Elves] are all mining underground deposits on [Svartalfheim]."

"Malekith is trying to use these ores to build more large spaceships in the [Subspace]… I believe it won't be long before Malekith leads the [Dark Elves] to launch another attack on [Asgard]!"

At the thought of the war that was about to reignite, Odin felt upset and distraught.

The most important thing was, given his current terrible physical condition, it was unknown whether he could survive until then?

"Is the war about to reignite again?"

For some reason, the vision she had seen in the flames before suddenly appeared in Queen Frigga's mind, and she couldn't help but murmur: "Could it be that [Ragnarok] is really unavoidable?"

Roar—

Suddenly, a series of strange roars rang out from somewhere in the [Asgardian Palace]. Before long, the captain of the guard responsible for guarding the palace rushed into the palace to report:

"Your Majesty, God King, it's terrible. The [Medical Room] has suddenly been attacked by several demonic creatures of unknown origin…"
