2120 Thor, Lay Low?
Thor couldn’t refute Rocket’s ridicule at all.
But after thinking about it carefully, he realized that after the incident with the Dark Elves a few years ago, he had been searching the Nine Realms for a way to stop Ragnarok, and had never come to Earth again.
It was impossible to contact him. Even Dr. Jane had fallen out with him over it and refused to see him.
Thor was a prideful Asgardian man; it was impossible for him to plead with Dr. Jane, so he chose to not think about Earth as much as possible.
After that, he and Loki came to Earth to look for their father.
Before meeting Dr. Strange, he only had time to talk to Knight about the Infinity Stone.
A few minutes after meeting the sorcerer, he was sent away again. Then, he was dumped on Planet Sakaar.
After that, he had to return to Asgard to fight and save the civilians.
After barely beating back Hela, Loki revived Surtur.
Thor and Knight had no time to talk as Thor had to leave with the last batch of Asgardians.
Then, he encountered Thanos on the way to Earth. The spaceship was destroyed, and all 300,000 Asgardians on it died.
Thor, who had been saved by Rocket, immediately went to Nidavellir to forge a new divine weapon, and was only now returning.
Recalling his experiences in the last few years, Thor had to admit that it wasn’t that the Avengers and the Justice League had forgotten him, but that they had met too few times.
In fact, when Thor was the crown prince of Asgard, Luke had given him the space storage and the Light Dagger, which had been useless to him.
Asgard had a lot of good things, and he didn’t carry them with him every day.
When Asgard was destroyed, there had been no chance for both sides to meet.
Luke, on the other hand, had given the leader of the Asgardian soldiers on the lawless planet a ‘storage ring’ for use, to be given to Thor when the latter arrived.
But something happened to Thor before he reached the lawless planet.
Thus, Thor became the only member of the Avengers who didn’t have a ‘space storage.’
Thankfully, he had Rocket, which was equivalent to him having one now.
After he reached Earth and they killed Thanos, it shouldn’t be a problem to give Knight or Big Dipper a ‘hint’… right? Thor didn’t know if he could be thick-skinned enough.
The crown prince of Asgard had rarely asked anyone for things in the past, much less the new king of Asgard.
Forget it, he would think about it later. Thinking that, Thor changed the subject. “Okay, let’s just focus on how far Thanos is from us.”
Rocket looked at the data on the tablet in front of him. “We’ll reach Earth in an hour. Are you ready?”
Thor raised Stormbreaker. “Charge forward and cut off his head in tribute to the 300,000 dead people of Asgard.”
Rocket: “Hm, great plan. Good luck.”
There was basically nothing to say after that. When they approached Earth, Thor looked at Thanos’s fleet on the tablet, and his eyes flashed with revenge. “Charge forward.”
Rocket rolled his eyes. “That’s a battleship, and I’m just a super fast shuttle without a weapons system. Do you want us to become floating corpses in space?”
As he spoke, he was too lazy to bother with this vengeful guy. He steered the ship away and descended, bypassing Thanos’s fleet and entering Earth’s atmosphere from the side.
Did Thor really think that he didn’t want to kill Thanos right away? Thanos had captured his teammate, Gamora. Rocket couldn’t wait to press the purple-skinned monster to the ground, cut him into pieces, and interrogate him about Gamora’s whereabouts.
But using a shuttle to directly attack dozens of large battleships, including Thanos’s warship?
Sorry, Rocket wanted to live to find Gamora, not turn into a little raccoon spirit and listen to other people tell him the good news.
Thor couldn’t help but mutter on the way.
Most of Rocket’s attention was on the movements of Thanos’s fleet.
This space shuttle was his baby which he had painstakingly put together. If it was targeted by the enemy, even a scratch on it would be enough to make Rocket’s heart ache for days.
Thus, Rocket could only say half-heartedly, “Are you serious? When we land, won’t the Avengers and the Justice League help you attack? Won’t our chances of winning be higher? There are tens of thousands of fighter planes on Earth’s side to protect you from the energy cannons.”
After thinking about it, Thor felt that made sense.
No matter how fierce he was, he wasn’t as fierce as the energy cannons on Thanos’s ships.
“Okay, little bear. Tell Knight and the others to cooperate with me later.” Thor gave the order.
The little raccoon grinned and chuckled soundlessly. The message he sent to Earth’s allied forces was simple: “Thor and I are about to land. Thor is ready to cut Thanos down.”
Luke and the Avengers were delighted at first, but were then lost for words. F*ck, Thanos has dozens of large battleships protecting him. How do you want to cut him down? Don’t tell me your new divine weapon isn’t an ax, but a star destroyer cannon?
In any case, everyone perked up at Thor’s arrival.
Although this guy now had some psychological issues after being tortured by his older sister, Luke was the only person from Earth who had seen this with his own eyes.
To everyone else, Thor was still that stalwart and arrogant God of Thunder who had never lost in battle.
The Avengers and the Justice League quickly made arrangements to counterattack and force Thanos to step out as soon as possible.
Suddenly, Rocket sent another message. “D*mn it, Thor ran out already.”
Luke and Tony were both confused. He ran out? Was he a dog?
Then, the little raccoon didn’t need to send another message. The two of them saw Thor — more precisely, they saw what Thor was doing.
Amidst the huge expanse of white lightning, the drones high up in the air picked out a faint roar: “Get out here, Thanos!”
Then, that white lightning struck the alien battleships.
Because these battleships hadn’t opened fire since the beginning and just hovered on one side, Ursa Minor had naturally excluded them as attack targets for the time being.
But as the ten large battleships were attacked, they could only start to move to reduce the increasing pressure on them.
Rocket’s shuttle had approached the battlefield from the side. Seeing such a big target next to them, Thor had simply opened the emergency door and jumped out.
The little raccoon didn’t dare abandon the shuttle. Besides, given his combat ability, he wouldn’t be able to destroy a battleship even if he went out. He could only pass on the ‘good news’ to Luke and the others.
Luke, Tony and the others cursed inwardly, but Frank, as the commander, was unusually calm. “Alright, whether Thor succeeds in destroying the battleships or not won’t affect our plan.”
Frank had never taken Thor into account as a combat force that could be deployed.
It was undoubtedly easier to view Thor as a disruptive element with the ability to change the situation on the battlefield.
This way, Thor could create opportunities, and if he couldn’t, they would just carry on with the plan.
In any case, the situation wouldn’t be any worse than before Thor came.
