Clang! Clang! Clang!
The intern and Darcy finally nailed Selvig's device firmly into the ground at the designated spot.
"By the way, do you know what this thing is supposed to do?"
Darcy looked at her intern with a blank face and asked a very professional question.
After fastening the equipment, the intern was drenched in sweat.
Hearing Darcy's words, she looked at Darcy in disbelief. A question flashed through her mind, "I've been interning under this person, doing a bunch of unpaid work… what exactly is the point of all this?"
At this moment, a growing halo of light appeared in the sky near the top of the spaceship.
Inside the halo were unfamiliar mountains and rivers, clearly a passage connecting to another space.
And there were several more of these halos in the sky not far away.
Some of them emitted icy cold air, while others shimmered with radiant light.
This was exactly the phenomenon caused by Malekith gradually linking the Nine Realms through the Aether particles.
Eric looked at the strange sight in the sky and checked the device in his hand again.
"The Convergence will reach its peak within seven minutes."
Jane took the detector and looked down at Thor, who was fighting Malekith in a chaotic brawl below.
"Looks like we'll have to keep him tangled up for eight more minutes…"
Then she turned her gaze toward the Dark Elf soldiers chasing civilians across the square and twisted the knob on the controller in her hand.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, the device flashed with white light and rippled with a circle of blue waves. The Dark Elf soldiers charging aggressively within its range instantly vanished on the spot, teleported to another space.
The number of Dark Soldiers who had followed Malekith to invade Earth was very large.
Corin had only scared away a small portion of the soldiers near Malekith. Many more had already invaded in force.
Seeing that Eric's device could make enemies disappear, Darcy, who was holding the phone to stay in contact with Jane, couldn't help exclaiming,
"This is amazing! How did you do that?"
She probably kind of maybe understood what this oddly shaped device was for now, though she still didn't fully grasp it.
"The gravitational field interacting with the weak points created by the Convergence between realms produces—"
Jane held the phone between her cheek and shoulder and was about to explain how the device worked when she suddenly heard Darcy shout excitedly, "Quick! Get rid of the guy with the sword!"
Jane twisted the knob again as Darcy wished. Blue light flashed, Darcy and the intern disappeared from where they stood.
Eric and Jane leaned out from upstairs to check and realized they had made a mistake. The corners of their mouths twitched.
"Oops! Sorry…"
Darcy and the intern were lucky.
They weren't teleported to another world. Instead, they appeared on the other side of the street, their confused expressions showing they were completely unprepared for what had just happened.
"What the hell just happened?"
"Bang!"
Darcy was in the middle of complaining when suddenly a Dark Soldier smashed onto the hood of an old Passat in front of them with a loud crash.
"Ahhh!"
A terrified scream with a hint of hoarseness echoed through the street at the same time.
It wasn't Darcy.
The intern had turned pale with fright from the sudden turn of events.
———
[Exchange successful! +$1.2 trillion. Account balance: $1.2586 trillion]
The towering spaceship standing on the square, reaching high into the sky, gradually turned into nothingness like this, slowly fading out of people's sight.
Only a deep crater and the massive trench it had carved when arriving remained to prove it had once existed.
His account had become fuller than ever before. Corin knew he could now unlock even more powerful and flashy talents.
His account had exceeded a trillion for the first time. The gains were truly considerable.
"What kind of ability should I exchange for next?"
'Private space? Causality-type abilities? Or chaos magic?"
'The Spirit Bomb seems ridiculously strong to …'
And a spaceship that huge disappearing in an instant was definitely not something subtle.
The Dark Warriors who had been showing off in front of civilians just a second ago suddenly discovered that the spaceship they relied on to travel the universe had simply vanished. Their eyes instantly cleared.
They stood there frozen, staring at each other wide-eyed, not knowing what to do.
Meanwhile Thor, who was fighting Malekith fiercely, had just battled the Dark Elf from another world back to Earth again.
Seeing the enemy spaceship disappear so blatantly also left him puzzled.
Then he suddenly noticed Corin on the ground and remembered the method he had used during the Battle of New York to make enemy equipment vanish into thin air. His spirits lifted and he shouted excitedly, "This base-stealing move is awesome!"
At the same time he swung his hammer like he had been injected with adrenaline and smashed it repeatedly toward Malekith's face.
Malekith, who had been fully focused on fighting Thor, was still wondering why Thor had looked weak just a moment ago but suddenly became so vigorous.
Thinking back to what Thor shouted—
"Base stealing? Whose base? FACK!"
He instinctively turned around and realized his spaceship was gone. His mentality instantly collapsed.
Driving the Aether particles, he blasted Thor far away and rushed toward Corin with hatred burning in his heart.
At this moment Corin had already gained the biggest reward of this trip and felt extremely satisfied.
He had a whole body full of strength with nowhere to vent it. Seeing Malekith charging toward him at high speed, excitement flashed in his eyes and he shouted loudly, "Perfect timing!"
One of Malekith's greatest advantages in conquering the universe was his spaceship. The reason he built it so massive and tall was to display his extraordinary status and ambitions.
Now that beloved spaceship had mysteriously disappeared right before his eyes. How could Malekith possibly endure that?
To avenge the hatred in his heart, he mobilized all the Aether particles, forming a sharp attack that shot rapidly toward Corin as he shouted, "Give me back my spaceship!"
"Compensate you? Are you dreaming?"
Corin sneered and gathered energy in his hand.
His right fist grew brighter and brighter, gradually releasing dazzling light.
Yes, he intended to meet this attack head-on.
Corin knew the Aether particles could change the physical rules around them. They were indeed powerful.
But if he simply wrapped a few extra layers of energy around his fist, that would do the trick.
As energy around his body continuously gathered into his hand, the energy bar on the panel visibly dropped:
65%, 64%, 63%…
Seeing that Corin didn't move much and simply stood there in a guarded stance with a punching posture, Malekith showed a cold smile.
"No matter what it is, once it touches the Aether particles you'll learn how terrifying they are!"
He actually was a little worried Corin might use that massive move again from earlier.
But it was already too late.
The Aether particles around Malekith bared their fangs and claws as they crashed toward Corin.
Corin simply twisted his body slightly and threw a punch.
That single right punch was like a meteor tearing across the night sky, instantly lighting up the previously dark heavens.
The blinding brilliance resembled the flash of a nuclear explosion's shockwave at the moment it erupted, making everyone close their eyes involuntarily.
Buzz!
His right fist, wrapped in compressed energy, collided directly with the Aether particles.
The two energies cut into each other, tangled together, and then exploded apart.
The Aether particles were the carrier of the Reality Stone and possessed indescribable magical properties, but the continuously compressed energy from Corin was no less formidable.
The moment the two touched, a violent transformation occurred.
BOOM!
The explosion resounded across the sky. A visible shockwave spread outward from the tip of Corin's fist.
Every building along the street had its windows shattered inward instantly.
Meanwhile the Aether particles on Malekith's body were blasted apart by the tremendous force, temporarily separating from him.
Relying on the Aether particles made him think he was invincible, but in reality Malekith was nothing more than a weakling whose combat ability wasn't even as good as a Kurse warrior.
He flew backward with an expression of disbelief, streaking like a meteor through one of the portals in the sky and arriving in the icy world of Jotunheim, taking a Frost Beast flying with him.
The poor Frost Beast didn't even have time to react before being slammed by the immense force, sent flying through space and arriving on Earth.
"What just happened? Why is it so hot here? So annoying. I want to eat someone," That's what it thought.
And that's exactly what it did.
Coming back to its senses, the Frost Beast swallowed the Dark Elf soldier in front of it in a single bite. The frustration in its heart immediately eased a lot.
"Burp~"
