Chapter 1089: Suggestion
*Sigh*
After about fifteen minutes, the bathroom door opened, and Thor, who had finished showering, emerged with his still-messy golden hair in his grasp. Although Mjölnir’s power was formidable, it was already acceptable for Thor at the moment. After his shower, there were no signs of burns or injuries on Thor’s body.
Thor glanced at the now partially cleaned living room without expressing much, then casually grabbed a dry towel from the sofa to dry his hair. Lin Rui, who was tidying up the living room, became irritated by Thor’s nonchalant attitude and put down the broom, walking over to him.
“Your hair is so long. Why not cut it? It would be more convenient,” Lin Rui said, sitting on the sofa, which was relatively clean compared to the rest of the room and looking at Thor.
Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Thor’s gaze changed noticeably, and he paused in his hair-drying motion.
“No one touches my hair. No one,” Thor said sternly, setting the damp towel aside.
“Hehe, why so serious?” Lin Rui replied skeptically.
From Thor’s tone, Lin Rui could clearly sense the importance Thor placed on his golden locks. Perhaps even if Lin Rui tried to secretly snip a strand, Thor would still engage in a fight with him.
“Never mind, let’s drop the topic of my hair. Why did you come here this time? You’ve already handed over the Space Infinity Stone to someone else for research,” Thor asked, finally bringing up the subject.
“Oh, it’s actually nothing important. It’s just that I’ve been feeling a bit frustrated lately, so I came to chat with you,” Lin Rui replied with a hint of helplessness.
“Frustrated? What could possibly frustrate you?” Thor asked, puzzled by Lin Rui’s response.
Thor was no longer the naive extraterrestrial who had no knowledge of Earth and its various powers. After going through several events, he had gained a clear understanding of the current state of Earth and some of the major factions.
Based on Thor’s understanding of Lin Rui, he should now hold a significant position among Earth’s powers and shouldn’t have any troubles.
As Thor spoke, he sat down beside Lin Rui, as there was no other place to sit in the cluttered living room. The already small sofa became even more cramped with Thor’s large frame, and Lin Rui was pushed to the side.
“Well… it’s nothing much. But talking to you about it might help me analyze the situation. After all, you are also the Crown Prince of Asgard, and your perspective might differ from others,” Lin Rui said, not minding being squeezed into the corner of the sofa, his eyes blinking.
“What is it exactly? Just tell me. And don’t mention anything about me being the Crown Prince of Asgard…” Thor adjusted his long legs on the sofa and continued to press for an answer.
“It’s about… do you also know about Sorcerers…”
Like that, Lin Rui and Thor, two individuals sitting ungracefully on the only sofa in the messy living room, began their conversation about the issues concerning Earth’s sorcerers. Lin Rui shared the events he had encountered and the impending challenges that the sorcerers were about to face, hoping that Thor could provide some advice.
In nearly an hour of conversation, most of the talking was done by Lin Rui, while Thor occasionally interjected with questions or suggestions. When the voices of Lin Rui and Thor in the living room had ceased for some time, it signaled the end of their conversation.
“So, you’re suggesting that I shouldn’t intervene anymore and let the Earth’s sorcerers handle it themselves,” Lin Rui murmured as he looked up at the shattered ceiling of the equally broken apartment living room.
“What else can you do? Regardless of their current attitude, even if you have some power now, it won’t be of any use against someone like Dormammu, who dominates entire dimensions,” Thor replied bluntly, not mincing his words.
“Well… in the end, it’s because my own power is insufficient!” With Thor’s advice, Lin Rui could only reluctantly come to that conclusion.
It wasn’t that Lin Rui wasn’t strong now. In terms of power, there were few in the superhero world who were stronger than him. However, some opponents were simply on a different level, and even if the entire Earth were involved, it would be useless. They needed someone who could completely turn the tide.
“Well, it’s good that you understand this. Moreover, nothing will happen with the presence of the Sorcerer Supreme, the Ancient One, among the Earth’s sorcerers, his power is immeasurable. With him there, even Dormammu wouldn’t pose a threat to Earth,” Thor nodded in agreement, responding to Lin Rui’s words.
In Thor’s mind, his father, King Odin, was undoubtedly the most powerful being in the universe, and the Ancient One was a Sorcerer who could rival his father. Naturally, he wouldn’t fear Dormammu. However, Lin Rui didn’t tell Thor that, according to the storyline he knew, the Ancient One didn’t survive until Dormammu’s arrival.
“Well, maybe this time they can only rely on themselves. And with my warning, the Ancient One should be able to avoid that unexpected outcome,” Lin Rui finally made that decision. Without the support of allies and partners, Lin Rui’s own power alone was not enough to strike a significant blow to the treacherous sorcerers.
“Actually… if I fully recover my power, I would love to meet this Dormammu,” Thor casually mentioned while glancing at Mjölnir, which had been left in a corner of the living room.
As the mightiest warrior of Asgard, Thor’s power was immeasurable. After his recent exile experience, his awakened power was even stronger. He had a premonition that when he fully recovered his strength, he would command the power to disrupt the entire universe, just like his father, King Odin, who once conquered the Nine Realms.
“You?” Lin Rui scanned Thor with his gaze upon hearing his murmurs.
Speaking of which, since being transported back to Earth by the Space Infinity Stone’s portal in Asgard’s palace last time, Lin Rui had no idea how far Thor’s power had progressed.
However, since Thor was now able to control Mjölnir to some extent, it was evident that he had made significant progress.
“Well… Thor, how about we give it another try? Weren’t you always eager to teach me a lesson?”
