As Eddie, the newly appointed temporary employee of the Supernatural Incident Bureau, along with Venom, began to officially tackle the Symbiote invasion in New York, events unfolded elsewhere.
In Mexico, in the town of Puente Antiguo:
The night passed peacefully, and the sun rose as usual from the flat horizon of the wilderness. Despite the attempts of the old mentor Erik to hinder her, Darcy ultimately didn't find an opportunity to make a move against Kyle.
On the other hand, Jane and Thor, each finding solace in the other, experienced a warming bond that rapidly developed towards a romantic direction in just half a day.
Observing this, Kyle couldn't help but silently criticize Odin. It seemed less like Thor's trial on Earth and more like Odin sending him to find a girlfriend.
Odin, the wily old king of the gods ruling the Nine Realms for countless millennia, seemed cunning and mysterious. No one knew exactly what Odin was contemplating, except for his desire for Thor to inherit the throne.
This starkly contrasted with Loki, the son of the Frost Giants, who felt a chill in his heart, gradually taking a stance different from that of Thor and Odin.
Inside a temporary rental house in the town:
Returning from the wilderness with the group led by Jane, Kyle, appearing seemingly exhausted, lay in the main hall chair, resting with his eyes closed behind sunglasses.
Darcy was nowhere to be found.
Jane and Erik, on the other hand, were busy. With one believing in Thor and the other in Kyle, they bombarded Thor with questions, seeking to fill the gaps in earthly astronomy with godly insights.
Thor answered all questions without hesitation. While he might not understand scientific theories, his unique insights into the mysteries of the universe were pure and profound.
Thor, with his strong mental fortitude, finally accepted his current situation after several setbacks and pressures. He chose to continue his exile in human form, complying with his father's orders.
Observing this, Kyle sighed inwardly. Whether Thor was naive or overly slow-witted, repeatedly falling into traps set by his father and brother, was hard to determine. Of course, Kyle himself felt unqualified to judge, considering he had also set traps for Thor the first time they met.
"According to the time, it should be about time..."
Listening to the debate on the theory of spacetime in the main hall, Kyle, seated in the chair, suddenly raised his head. His gaze, through the sunglasses, landed on the clock hanging on the inner wall, and he nodded slightly in response to the corresponding time in his mind.
While mortals found it difficult to ascend to Asgard, gods descending to Earth was remarkably effortless— thanks to the Bifrost, a tool of undeniable convenience.
Deep in thought, Kyle, accompanied by a faint scent of perfume and flowing golden hair, noticed a figure approaching silently from the side.
Upon closer inspection, the person turned out to be Darcy.
Bending down with her curvaceous figure, Darcy rested her hands on the chair's armrests. The low neckline of her strapless top revealed a glimpse of her well-endowed chest. Shyly locking eyes with Kyle's face, she wore an expression of hesitation, as if wanting to speak but holding back.
"Master, the other party has no hostility. Her heart rate has increased by one point four times, and hormones are secreted abnormally— she wants to mate with you."
This earnest report came from Vis, transmitted through radio waves, and converted into a frequency sound only audible to Kyle.
Was there a need for a special analysis for this? Any experienced person would understand this at a glance!
Kyle was a bit speechless. He exchanged a glance with Darcy and coldly asked, "Is there something you need?"
"N-no..." Darcy subconsciously shook her head, her hair swaying like a tambourine. Panic and worry were written all over her face, but she quickly forced herself to calm down. After taking a deep breath, she bit her lip and said, "Yes! I have something... I want to talk to you about."
Seeing this scene from the main hall, Jane stopped her astronomical theories and marveled at her friend's courage. She clenched her fist and silently cheered for Darcy, "Darcy, go for it! Speak your heart out!"
Thor, standing next to Jane, also noticed the unfolding scene and chuckled, saying, "I didn't expect them to be quite like us."
"Who are you comparing?" Jane glared at him irritably with a mix of anger and embarrassment in her expression.
In the main hall, the only one not feeling pleased was Erik.
He looked at Jane, then at Darcy. His aging face was filled with concern, and he sighed deeply, muttering under his breath, "It's chaos, all chaos."
"What's chaos?" Jane asked in confusion while looking at Erik.
Erik didn't answer and just sighed with a bowed head.
Kyle intended to show indifference, hoping Darcy would understand and step back. However, unexpectedly, it seemed to make her more determined.
Darcy, with one hand over her chest and a determined look in her beautiful eyes, was about to express the burning emotions within her. "I..."
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
A perfectly timed knocking sound echoed from the glass door, shattering the delicate atmosphere in the main hall. It interrupted Darcy's words that were about to escape her throat, diverting the attention of everyone in the room.
Kyle also turned to look outside and saw three men and one woman. The men were burly and strong, and the woman was there with her hair tied up, all of them were wearing medieval war armor or tough leather jackets, wielding various strange cold weapons such as shields, swords, and hammers.
They were huddled outside the glass door, and upon seeing Thor standing in the main hall, they fervently knocked on the door.
"Who are they?" Darcy covered her mouth in bewilderment.
Erik and Jane were both stunned in place, flashing a guess that left them shocked beyond words.
"They are my friends," Thor said with a big smile before rushing forward to open the door.
The four people outside rushed into the main hall. The leader, a bearded giant, and Thor shared an enthusiastic hug. Then, turning towards Jane and the others, he introduced them with excitement, "These are Lady Sif and the Warriors Three, my friends and Mighty Warriors of Asgard!"
After saying this, Hogun, led the other three to kneel with one knee, respectfully addressing Thor, "Your Highness, we have come to bring you back!"
"Back? I have been banished, and my trial is not over. I cannot return to Asgard," Thor said bitterly.
"What are you saying? Something big happened in Asgard— your father, the king, has fallen into Odin's Sleed, and the second prince, Loki, has rebelled! We need you to return immediately to oversee the situation in Asgard!" Hogun exclaimed.
"But..."
Thor frowned deeply. Without his powers, he felt powerless.
Just then, a calm voice interjected, resonating powerfully in the space of the main hall:
"Thor, when did you become so hesitant and weak? If there's something you want to do, just do it. Moreover, it's something you must do. Even if it means risking your life, it's worth it. Don't discard your 'bravery' just because you faced setbacks on Earth."
Everyone turned around to see Kyle rising from his chair, stepping towards Thor as he spoke.
With a smile on his lips, eyes shimmering with a recovery of broken gold, Kyle spoke lightly, "After all, you're Thor!"
