Chapter 26 Panda? God? What's wrong with this world?
Lin Yuan jumped down from Sif's arms, looked at the still dazed woman, and pointed at the other three people who had rushed towards the Destroyer.
"Sister, aren't you going to help?"
At this moment, the Warriors Three of Asgard had already engaged the Destroyer.
Fandral, holding a large axe, jumped directly and chopped at the Destroyer's head.
The Destroyer raised its hand and swatted gently, and Fandral was sent sprawling to the ground like a fly. The other two were startled and hurried to attract the Destroyer's attention.
In the distance, Lin Yuan, who was watching everything, held his forehead. The Warriors Three of the Immortal Palace? That's it?
Seeing her comrade being beaten, Sif ignored Lin Yuan, picked up her weapon, and rushed towards the Destroyer.
Lin Yuan quickly cast the Rejuvenation Technique and the Mark of the Wild on her. Although this sister was several hundred years older than him, it did not stop him from being gentle and considerate.
While running, Sif suddenly felt that her body, originally exhausted from the rapid sprint, quickly regained vitality.
She couldn't help but feel puzzled, but now was not the time to ponder the reason. Dealing with the enemy before her was more important.
So she continued to rush forward without hesitation.
Sif made a nimble leap and landed directly on the back of the Destroyer, who was facing away from her. The spear in her hand pierced through the Destroyer's neck joint. The light on the Destroyer's head gradually dimmed and finally went out.
The Destroyer slowly lowered its head, as if it had lost the support of life.
The Warriors Three standing nearby saw this scene and couldn't help but cheer excitedly, "Well done!"
They cheered for Sif's heroic performance and admired the great strength she displayed.
Sif was also extremely delighted. She hadn't expected to defeat the Destroyer so easily.
She had anticipated a tough battle, but the enemy's ability was not as strong as she had imagined. However, just as she was about to celebrate her victory, Lin Yuan's voice came from a distance, "Be careful!"
The Destroyer's body lit up again, its armor vibrated, and its whole body shifted from facing away from Sif to facing her.
The Destroyer's helmet opened, energy gathered inside, and then flame rays spurted out.
When Sif saw the change in the Destroyer, she felt something was wrong and tried to evade immediately. The rays passed by her. The Warriors Three were also horrified by the change and hurried to help. The four of them fought the Destroyer once more.
But in Lin Yuan's eyes, the Destroyer was single-handedly overpowering four individuals. The four Asgardians could only barely dodge the magic rays and were occasionally blown away by the explosive shockwaves generated by the blasts.
"Ding ding ding" ~
A car horn sounded behind Lin Yuan. He looked back and saw Jane driving with Thor.
To be honest, Jane was a very brave woman. She dared to come here even in such a dangerous situation.
Thor got out of the car with an anxious look on his face. Seeing his friends screaming in pain after being struck by the Destroyer, he felt deeply worried.
At this moment, he sorely missed his lost power.
Just then, Thor suddenly heard a familiar voice, "Haven't you found what your father wants you to find?"
Thor looked up and saw a handsome young man looking at him.
Thor couldn't help but be a little surprised, "Lin??"
"It's me. I'm asking you, do you understand your father's true intention in banishing you to Earth?"
Thor frowned, lost in thought.
He knew there must be a reason why his father had exiled him to Earth, but he had never understood what it was.
Now, facing Lin Yuan's question, Thor felt confused.
"I~~" Thor's face was filled with guilt, "I don't know. I have been looking for the reason."
"Alas~" It seems that by the time this big idiot figures it out, it will be too late. Given today's situation, who knew if Loki would kill everyone around him first and then eliminate Thor.
"Thor, do you know what is the most important thing for a king?"
Without waiting for Thor to answer, Lin Yuan continued, "It's protection. A king may not achieve great conquests or expand territory, but he must protect his kingdom and his people. You have been living here as a mortal these days. Don't you have anything you want to protect?"
Looking at Thor, who was deep in thought, Lin Yuan glanced at the four Asgardians howling in the distance after being beaten by the Destroyer, and then said, "Come and help me if you have figured it out!" After that, he transformed into a panda and charged towards the Destroyer.
Jane, who was standing next to the car, was bewildered. What did I just see?
After a boy talked to Thor for a moment, he turned into a panda!
Such a cute and adorable panda, twisting its big butt and rushing towards that terrifying thing in the distance.
"Why is this panda so cute and adorable? I really want to hug it!" Although Jane felt it was a bit inappropriate to think about such things at this time, she really wanted to embrace the panda!
Lin Yuan, who was charging, suddenly felt a chill on his head. He shook his head, roared, and rushed towards the Destroyer.
The Destroyer's magic ray was interrupted by the charge, and it raised its hand and punched Lin Yuan. Its fist struck the armor of the Mark of the Wild. The shockwave caused layers of what looked like fat to ripple on Lin Yuan's panda-like body, and Lin Yuan was knocked over.
Without time to think, Lin Yuan quickly got up, dodged the flame beam, turned around and roared a challenge, followed by a demoralizing roar.
Lin Yuan dodged while shouting to Sif and the others, "Sister Sif, the aggro is stable, you can attack now! And those three, put some strength into it! Your DPS isn't even as high as Sister Sif's alone!"
Although the Warriors Three of the Immortal Palace did not understand what Lin Yuan said, it was obvious that they were being looked down upon.
Taking advantage of a lull in the Destroyer's attacks, Lin Yuan changed back into human form to buff the Warriors Three!
"Hey, you three, don't just stand there like idiots! I've added buffs to all of you. Hurry up and get on with it!"
Volstagg: "We have names, okay?"
Then the three warriors felt the physical strength they had expended in the battle rapidly returning, and the injuries they had sustained earlier were also healing quickly.
The three of them were invigorated. Is this the BUFF that the bear mentioned?
It's so freaking awesome!
The three men raised their weapons and rushed towards the Destroyer again, howling.
Lin Yuan thought that if he could use the Blessing of Savagery right now, he would have made these three fools so happy they would fly to the heavens.
Now, unfortunately, whether it was Sif or the Warriors Three, the gap in strength between them and the Destroyer was too significant. Even with Lin Yuan's BUFFs, they could only barely ensure they weren't killed instantly.
And the most terrifying thing was that the Destroyer was a magical creation. It would not tire or be injured. Lin Yuan had no confidence that he could wear it down.
Judging from the current situation, the most likely outcome was that Lin Yuan's magic points would be depleted, and then everyone except himself and Thor would be killed by the Destroyer.
In another exchange, Lin Yuan was once again knocked away by the flame ray. Large black burn marks appeared on his body. His recovery speed couldn't keep up with the rate of injury. Sif and the Warriors Three were in even worse condition; they could barely stand. If it weren't for Lin Yuan's BUFFs, they would have been dead long ago!
"Thor, are you still not ready?" Lin Yuan yelled and rushed towards the Destroyer again, nimbly dodging the incoming rays.
Just as Lin Yuan finished speaking, in the distant base, Thor's hammer suddenly soared into the sky and flew towards them with unparalleled power. It was incredibly fast, flashing across the sky like lightning, leaving a long trail.
Thor stretched out his arm and caught the hammer steadily. Just as he grasped the hammer, a huge bolt of lightning from the sky struck the hammer.
Thor held the hammer tightly in his hand, and his whole body was enveloped in crackling lightning, forming a dazzling shield. His Thor armor also materialized on his body piece by piece, and the large red cloak behind him billowed in the wind.
Jane was stunned. Her entire worldview was being rewritten today. First, she had seen a young man transform into a panda, and now she witnessed her sweetheart was truly the legendary Thor.
In the distance, the Destroyer also sensed the surge of power from Thor's direction, ceased its attack on Lin Yuan, and began to gather energy towards Thor.
A hammer flew over and interrupted its spell, then returned and knocked it to the ground.
Then Thor, the God of Thunder, soared into the air with Mjolnir in his hand, gathered the energy of lightning, and unleashed a devastating attack on the Destroyer, turning it into scrap metal with a single blow.
From Thor's transformation to the Destroyer's destruction, it only took 2 minutes, not counting the time he spent dramatically posing.
Lin Yuan couldn't help but gasp, "Top ADC, so terrifying!"
Chapter 27 Welcome to Asgard
Seeing the Destroyer being dealt with so easily by Thor, Lin Yuan looked down at his fat paws and yelled at the system again: "You dog system! You XXX! I could be so handsome! Give me back my attack skills!"
"Ding, host, please recognize yourself. Even if you have attack skills, you can't be so handsome!"
"Get lost!"
"Ding, OK!"
Lin Yuan collapsed on the ground exhausted. He didn't want to do anything now and just wanted to lie down and rest.
Thor walked up to Lin Yuan, stretched out his hand, and asked with a smile: "Lin, is this also your ability? It looks quite cute!"
Lin Yuan slapped Thor's hand away without getting up. "Please describe me as handsome. Don't worry about me, let me lie down for a while, I'm so tired!"
The Warriors Three of Asgard surrounded Thor with excitement on their faces.
Sif squatted beside Lin Yuan, her eyes full of pandas. She wanted to reach out and touch him but felt embarrassed.
Lin Yuan was too lazy to pay attention and closed his eyes to rest.
In the distance, Jane saw the battle was over and ran over desperately.
Thor watched Jane running towards him, a smile on his face, and he stretched out his arms, ready to receive the beauty's embrace.
However~
Jane ran right past him and pounced directly at Lin Yuan's panda form, leaving the petrified Thor standing disheveled in the wind.
"Panda, panda! I've always wanted to pet a panda!" Jane hugged Lin Yuan's panda and started stroking him wildly.
When Sif saw Jane like this, she couldn't resist and hugged the panda's head, rubbing it enthusiastically.
Lin Yuan was stunned. What was going on? Aren't you guys a little reserved? No matter what, I am still a man!
Ten minutes later, the two women had their fill and left to look for Thor, leaving behind the panda Lin Yuan, who looked like he had lost all hope in life.
Jane calmed down her excitement and looked at the handsome Thor with eyes full of love: "Is this how you usually dress?"
Thor, who was momentarily hurt, was instantly revived. He hugged Jane with both hands and said, "I suppose so. Would you like to see the Bifrost Bridge?"
Then he turned to the four Asgardians and said, "Go to the Bifrost landing point. Let's return to Asgard. I need to speak with my brother!"
At this time, Coulson arrived with the agents, and Professor Erik Selvig came with the girl with glasses.
Coulson greeted Thor with a smile.
Thor formed an alliance with Earth on behalf of Asgard and retrieved Jane's research data that had been confiscated by S.H.I.E.L.D.
Afterward, Thor asked Jane to stay with the professor and others to witness the Bifrost, promising that he would definitely return to find her!
The two expressed their true feelings for each other and said goodbye reluctantly!
Lin Yuan was lying on the ground, still questioning his existence, when he found Thor and the four other Asgardians standing beside him.
"What are you all doing here?" Lin Yuan asked in confusion, and then he heard Thor shout, "Heimdall!"
"Fuck! Thor, I'm still here!" Lin Yuan shouted in panic. He didn't want to go to Asgard!
But it was too late.
The light of the Bifrost appeared instantly, engulfing Thor and his four companions, as well as Lin Yuan's panda form lying on the ground.
Then the light vanished, leaving only a drawn-out "F*ck" echoing in the air.
Coulson was stunned when he saw Lin Yuan being taken away. "How am I supposed to explain this to Tony?"
Asgard
When Thor and his companions emerged from the Bifrost, Lin Yuan fell down in front of Thor with a thud.
He felt truly awful after his first ride on the Bifrost; he felt incredibly dizzy.
Thor seemed to have just noticed Lin Yuan at this point and was surprised. "Lin, why are you here too!"
Lin Yuan was so angry that he stood up and nipped at Thor's leg, whimpering and cursing, "You bastard, you still ask me? Do you think I wanted to come? You only have eyes for Jane, don't you? Didn't you look down before calling the Bifrost?"
Thor was totally unfazed. Lin Yuan couldn't break his cheerful demeanor at all. He patted Lin Yuan's head affectionately and said, "Okay, okay, since you're here, stay and have some fun. This time, it's all thanks to your help. When I'm done, I will definitely treat you well. Sif, take Lin Yuan to see Asgard first! I need to deal with Loki!"
After saying that, Thor swung his hammer and flew away, leaving everyone looking at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Yuan looked at Sif, who was gazing at him with stars in her eyes, shuddered, and quickly returned to human form.
The light in Sif's eyes dimmed, and Lin Yuan was relieved. "That was a close call. I almost got rubbed again."
The Warriors Three of Asgard were dumbfounded when they realized that the "bear" who had fought alongside them and drawn the Destroyer's fire all by himself was actually just a teenager.
But they soon recovered, placing their hands on Lin Yuan's shoulders and patting him hard, loudly praising him for being brave and a true warrior. In particular, the muscular Volstagg gave Lin Yuan a bear hug, nearly squeezing the air out of him!
At this moment, Lin Yuan regretted not staying in panda form. At least as a panda, he had gotten some affectionate attention!
Heimdall, who was lying nearby, wanted to cry. He had been frozen for so long, risked injury to break free, and then worked hard to open the portal to bring them back. But they hadn't even looked at him since their return. It was so unfair!
Just then, Lin Yuan also noticed Heimdall lying on the ground, injured and with an expression of utter exhaustion. He broke free from Volstagg's grip and walked towards him.
He knelt down and poked Heimdall with his hand. "Are you okay?"
Heimdall glanced at Lin Yuan and said dramatically, "Oh, the indignity!"
Lin Yuan seemed not to have heard him and cast Healing Touch and Rejuvenation on Heimdall. Then, he extended his hand and said, "Hello, I'm Lin Yuan!"
Heimdall felt a strange power coursing through his body. His injuries healed quickly, and his exhaustion vanished.
"Is this your magic? It's a very potent ability." Heimdall stood up, looked at the boy in front of him, smiled, and shook Lin Yuan's hand. "Nice to meet you, Lin. I am Heimdall. Welcome to Asgard!"
Next, Sif took Lin Yuan to tour Asgard. At the strong insistence of the Warriors Three, Heimdall was taken to the Asgardian healing halls for treatment.
As for Thor, no one paid him much attention. This was a matter between him and his brother Loki, and outsiders shouldn't interfere!
Walking on the streets of Asgard, Lin Yuan observed that the Asgardian people were indeed hardy. The young women they encountered on the road mostly knew Sif and greeted her with smiles. They also teased Lin Yuan from time to time, making him a little shy (and secretly excited)!
After strolling around for a while, the sky suddenly grew dark with ominous clouds, and the Bifrost in the distance flared to life, a beam of energy shooting into the void. Unlike the usual teleportation that lasted only a few seconds, this energy beam continued to pour out!
"Oh no, something has happened at the Bifrost Bridge!" Sif said, her face serious.
Lin Yuan suddenly remembered something, and his expression changed drastically.
"Sister Sif, I need to go over there and take a look!" Without waiting for Sif to reply, Lin Yuan directly transformed into a roc and flew towards the Bifrost!
Sif was stunned as she watched Lin Yuan transform into a large bird and fly away. "That bird is so magnificent!"
Lin Yuan quickly approached the Bifrost Observatory and saw from a distance that Thor raised his hammer and smashed it down onto the Bifrost Bridge.
"No!" Lin Yuan screamed as he watched Thor destroy the Bifrost with Mjolnir. The entire observatory structure lost its support and began to collapse.
"Thor, you idiot~ You've doomed me!"
It's over. There's no going back~~~~
Chapter 28: If love lasts forever, why should we be together day and night?
Lin Yuan landed on the remaining section of the Bifrost Bridge. Looking at Thor, who was deeply saddened by the apparent loss of his brother, Lin Yuan was furious!
He instantly transformed into an orange cat, pounced on Thor's head, and scratched and slapped him hard. "Why are you so sad? Your brother is very lucky; nothing happened to him! It's me who is in trouble! I can't go back now! It's all your fault! All your fault!" The more he spoke, the angrier he became, his claws moving in a blur!
When Thor heard Lin Yuan say that Loki was not dead, he immediately brightened. For some reason, he trusted Lin Yuan implicitly. If Lin Yuan said Loki was fine, then Loki must be fine!
Thor grabbed Lin Yuan-cat by the head, held him close, kissed him enthusiastically, and said excitedly, "Thank you, Lin! I will take you to meet my mother first; she will definitely welcome you!"
With that, not waiting for Lin Yuan's reaction, he reached out to summon Mjolnir, swung it, and flew directly towards the Royal Palace, leaving behind only the fading sound of "Meow~~"!
Soon, Thor flew to Frigga, the Queen of Asgard. "Mother, come quickly! I've brought my friends over to play!"
Frigga was a little confused. Wasn't her son pursuing Loki? Where would he be bringing friends from?
"Thor, where are your friends? How is Loki?"
Thor casually handed the dazed fat cat to Frigga and said, "Loki fell into the void. Lin said he's fine, and I believe him. Look, this is Lin. We were able to survive on Earth thanks to his help this time!"
"A cat?" Frigga was puzzled, but soon, as a powerful sorceress, she detected the magical fluctuations emanating from the feline.
This magic is very unusual; I've never encountered it before!
Frigga gracefully reached out to take the fat cat, held it in her arms, patted its head, and said softly, "Hello, little friend. Thank you for helping Thor!"
Lin Yuan had also recovered by this time. He quickly broke free from Frigga's embrace, transformed back into human form, and greeted Frigga with a slightly flushed face, "Auntie, hello! I am Lin Yuan!"
Frigga looked at the handsome and elegant young man before her with undisguised admiration. She drew Lin Yuan closer and began to inquire about his well-being!
Lin Yuan was led along, answering Frigga's questions while desperately trying to catch Thor's eye for help!
The big oaf Thor seemed oblivious and just stood there laughing foolishly!
Left with no other option, Lin Yuan had to continue fielding Frigga's enthusiastic concern.
Finally, a strong and majestic voice echoed through the hall.
"Thor, bring your friend to me!"
Lin Yuan was delighted, thinking that Odin must want to see him. No matter what, at least he wouldn't have to endure Frigga's relentless questioning.
It wasn't that Frigga was unkind, but she was simply too enthusiastic, and Lin Yuan was struggling to keep up.
"Mother, I will take Lin to see Father first," Thor said to Frigga.
"Go ahead. I'll prepare the banquet. We'll entertain Lin Yuan later." Frigga still looked reluctant to let him go.
"Auntie, we'll leave first. See you later." After saying that, Lin Yuan quickly pulled Thor away.
Thor was speechless. "Lin, why are you running? Do you even know where my father is?"
"You know nothing! Just move!" Lin Yuan wanted to kick Thor's backside.
"You're going the wrong way! That way!"
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!"
Soon, Lin Yuan met the Allfather Odin in the grand hall.
Hmm~~~, how should he put it? There was none of the overwhelming pressure or intimidating aura he had imagined. Odin simply looked like an ordinary and kind elderly man.
Odin smiled very warmly when he saw Lin Yuan. "Lin Yuan, welcome to Asgard."
Lin Yuan bowed respectfully and said, "The honor is mine, great Allfather Odin!"
Odin looked at Lin Yuan and suddenly showed an expression that Lin Yuan couldn't quite decipher. "Didn't you call me 'Odin' before? I recall that 'big brother' means 'uncle' in your Midgardian tongue, correct? From now on, just call me Uncle!"
Lin Yuan was stunned, thinking to himself, Damn, I did call him a 'bastard who threw the hammer' earlier, and this great god really heard it. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and denied it directly! Wow~haha, I am truly brilliant!
"Okay, Uncle Odin, what is it that you wished to see me about?" Lin Yuan was not at all shy. Since Odin had invited him to call him uncle, he would do just that. This connection was even more valuable than Thor!
"It is nothing of great urgency. I simply wished to meet you and express my gratitude for your assistance to Thor," Odin said, thanking Lin Yuan sincerely.
"Hey, it's no big deal. Since you've allowed me to call you uncle, we are practically family. We shouldn't stand on ceremony. It was my duty to help, wasn't it?" Lin Yuan said magnanimously.
Odin was taken aback, then burst into hearty laughter, clapping Lin Yuan on the shoulder with considerable force. "Good lad! Good lad!" he said with a look of satisfaction.
Lin Yuan winced inwardly. Why did the Asgardians have such a penchant for heavy-handed shoulder pats?
In the evening, at the Asgardian banquet, Thor introduced Lin Yuan to the assembled guests, loudly proclaiming that from that day forward, Lin Yuan was his good brother.
The Warriors Three of Asgard cheered enthusiastically. Lin Yuan's valiant efforts against the Destroyer on Earth had earned their respect. They wholeheartedly accepted him.
As the banquet commenced, the Warriors Three approached, eager to engage Lin Yuan in a drinking contest. Lin Yuan smiled and said, "I am underage and cannot partake in alcoholic beverages!"
The Warriors Three were dumbfounded but ultimately didn't give up. They still plied Lin Yuan with copious amounts of juice, then returned to their revelry with booming laughter.
Lin Yuan enjoyed Asgardian delicacies and listened to the Warriors Three boast about their (slightly exaggerated) feats in the battle against the Destroyer. He was in a very cheerful mood.
He also noticed Sif, who was wearing a beautiful, classic Asgardian gown and looked every bit the lady, drinking and chatting with a group of young women. From time to time, she would gesture in Lin Yuan's direction, causing the ladies around her to exclaim and giggle.
Lin Yuan was filled with curiosity, but he had a feeling that whatever Sif was saying was probably not entirely flattering. He decided he would need to avoid her for the next few days.
Thor walked out of the banquet hall with a forlorn expression. Frigga watched him with a worried frown. Lin Yuan walked over to comfort Frigga. "Auntie, leave it to me. I will go and talk to him!"
Frigga nodded gratefully. "Thank you, Lin!"
"Hey, Auntie, it's too formal for you to say that. Thor is also my brother, so I'll go ahead!"
Behind him, Sif looked at Thor's retreating figure with a hint of sadness in her eyes, then she brightened and turned back to continue drinking and chatting with her companions.
Lin Yuan walked out of the banquet hall and found Thor and Odin conversing on a nearby balcony.
Odin gazed at the Asgardian sunset and said to Thor with a satisfied smile, "You will be a good king!"
Thor looked somewhat melancholy. "There will never be a better king than you, and never a better father. I still have so much to learn from you! Perhaps one day I will make you truly proud!"
Odin smiled and clapped Thor on the shoulder. "I am already proud of you!" After that, he turned to acknowledge Lin Yuan standing nearby with a nod and walked back into the banquet hall.
Lin Yuan walked to Thor, stood beside him, and looked at the sky painted red by the setting sun.
"Do you miss her, Thor?"
"Yes, I miss her dearly! But I still have so much to do, and now that the Bifrost is gone, I cannot go to see her, Lin!" Thor said with a heavy heart.
"You know what, Thor? We have an old saying in Midgard, 'If love lasts forever, why should we be together day and night?' It means that as long as two hearts love each other eternally, why is it necessary to be in each other's presence every moment? As long as you still love Jane, and Jane loves you, distance will never truly be an obstacle."
Lin Yuan wanted to put his arm around Thor's shoulders, but given their significant height difference, it would have been awkward. So, he settled for giving Thor a firm pat on the back.
Thor seemed to take his words to heart. He put his arm around Lin Yuan's neck and ruffled his hair playfully. "You little rascal! You haven't even finished growing yet, but you speak of love affairs with such certainty!" he said with a smile.
Lin Yuan was nearly choked by Thor's enthusiastic embrace. He finally managed to break free and couldn't resist kicking Thor lightly on the leg. He said indignantly, "You big oaf! You know nothing but fighting! I've read more romance novels than you've eaten meals!"
Thor laughed, slung his arm around Lin Yuan's neck again, and started walking.
"Alright, alright, you're amazing. Let's go and have a drink!"
"Fuck, you're strangling me! Let go! I'm underage, and I don't drink!"
"Then drink juice!"
Chapter 29 Passionate Asgard
In the next few days, the Warriors Three told Sif that in order to thank Lin Yuan for his help, they insisted on inviting him to attend the banquets they were hosting.
Therefore, Lin Yuan was plied with endless amounts of fruit juice every day and returned to his residence in the Royal Palace feeling quite full.
And the most disappointing thing was the limited variety of delicious food in Asgard. During the several days of banquets, the dishes were mostly the same. They tasted interesting the first time, with a very exotic flavor, but became monotonous after eating them repeatedly. Lin Yuan now deeply missed the delicious cuisine of Earth.
After finally attending all the banquets, Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief, only for something strange to happen again.
When Lin Yuan was walking on the streets of Asgard, he noticed young ladies looking at him with a very peculiar gaze, their eyes filled with longing.
For a while, Lin Yuan thought the Asgardian girls had some unusual hobbies, until one day while he was shopping, a bold young woman ran up to him and asked, "Lin, may I touch you?"
Lin Yuan was shocked. Are all the girls in Asgard so forward? Asking to touch me in public! Just as he was about to agree, the young lady added, "Lady Sif told us you can transform into a very cute animal. I want to touch it!"
Lin Yuan's face fell. Lady Sif is going to be the death of me!!!
After politely declining the bold young lady's request, Lin Yuan turned and headed towards the Royal Palace. On the way back, he was stopped by several more young women, all wanting to see the panda. Then, more and more young ladies gathered around him. Lin Yuan sensed trouble. Before he could escape, he was instantly surrounded by the eager crowd. After finally squeezing his way out, his face was covered in lipstick marks. Without even bothering to wipe them off, Lin Yuan took a quick step forward and instantly transformed into a large roc, flying towards the palace.
The girls below watched Lin Yuan transform into a magnificent roc and fly away. Instead of being upset, they cheered loudly. The bolder ones even shouted, "Lin, I love you! Your bird form is so handsome!"
Lin Yuan, soaring through the air, nearly lost his balance. He steadied himself and looked utterly terrified.
"I can't take it! The young ladies of Asgard are just too enthusiastic!"
After returning to the palace, Lin Yuan ran into Frigga.
Frigga looked at Lin Yuan, whose face was smeared with lipstick, and smiled knowingly. "Oh, it seems our little Lin Yuan is quite popular with the ladies!"
Lin Yuan laughed awkwardly. "Haha... haha, Aunt Frigga, please stop teasing me. What brings you to see me?"
Frigga, still smiling, took Lin Yuan's hand and asked, "Little Lin Yuan, Auntie needs to trouble you with something!"
Lin Yuan patted his chest confidently. "Look at what you're saying, Aunt Frigga! Whether it's trouble or not, just tell me directly if you need anything."
Frigga held his hand tighter.
"Then Auntie will tell you! Auntie heard from Sif that you can transform into a very beautiful animal called a panda. Auntie would very much like to see it!"
Lin Yuan was speechless. Lady Sif, you're doing it again.
Half an hour later, Lin Yuan's panda form was lying on the ground, and Frigga was cradling its head, stroking it gently and continuously. Then, Sif, who arrived shortly after, seized the opportunity to lie on the panda's back, her face almost buried in its fur.
Lin Yuan groaned inwardly. "Lady Sif, could you be a little more reserved? After all, I am still a boy!"
"Hey, what's the point of being reserved? You're my little brother, and I'm hundreds of years older than you! What are you afraid of?" Sif said nonchalantly.
I'm afraid you'll make me bald, Lin Yuan complained silently.
"Little Lin Yuan, is this magic? I have never seen such magic. Is this panda a creature from Midgard?" Frigga touched Lin Yuan's head, her interest in the panda evident.
"Yes, Aunt Frigga, I am a druid. This is one of the druid's transformation forms, but my panda form is a special one. As for pandas, they are indeed creatures of Midgard and a national treasure of my homeland!" Lin Yuan still held Frigga in high regard.
Who could not respect such a gentle, intelligent, and caring elder!
"Is that so? Then if I have the chance, I must visit Midgard to see the pandas. These pandas look so adorable." Frigga's eyes sparkled with affection for the pandas.
"Haha, it seems pandas are creatures that everyone loves, whether they are from Earth or other realms." Lin Yuan felt a surge of pride, but he said aloud, "Okay, Aunt Frigga, when you come to Earth, I'll be your tour guide. Let me tell you, in addition to pandas, my homeland also has many delicious foods, blah blah blah..."
Lin Yuan continued to describe the delectable cuisine of Earth to Frigga. Frigga touched the panda and listened to Lin Yuan's enthusiastic descriptions with a smile. Sif would occasionally interject with questions, giggling happily.
The three of them chatted and laughed, the atmosphere warm and harmonious.
After Frigga and Sif had their fill of playing with the panda, they left contentedly, and Lin Yuan quickly retreated to his room! He had noticed the maids in the palace had a rather intense gleam in their eyes!
"No, this won't do. I'm going to ask Heimdall tomorrow if there's any way to get back to Earth. As the guardian of the Bifrost, he might know some solutions!" Lin Yuan lay on his bed, resolving to seek Heimdall's help the next day. If this continued, he really might end up bald!
The next morning, Lin Yuan went to the Bifrost Observatory early to find Heimdall.
Heimdall stood motionless beside the broken Bifrost Bridge, and Thor was beside him, asking something.
Ever since the Bifrost was destroyed, Thor had come to Heimdall every few days to inquire about Jane.
Heimdall's eyes could see anything in the Nine Realms!
Lin Yuan thought that he also wanted such eyes.
"Dog system, aren't you an auxiliary system? These eyes should also be considered an auxiliary skill. Can you awaken such an ability for me, so that I can contribute to the peace and development of the Nine Realms!"
"Ding, host, your wishful thinking is quite amusing. I suggest you go back to sleep. You can have anything in your dreams!"
"Fuck, what use are you?!"
After finishing his internal rant with the system, Lin Yuan stepped forward to greet them.
"Morning, Thor, Heimdall!"
"Thor, are you here to ask about Jane again? Any good news? You look like a fool when you're smiling like that!" Lin Yuan couldn't resist teasing Thor when he saw his wide grin.
Thor didn't care at all and just laughed. "Heimdall said Jane has been looking for me! Hehehehe!"
"That's great. I'll catch up with you later. By the way, Heimdall, besides the Bifrost, is there any other way for me to return to Earth?"
Heimdall maintained his usual stoic expression and replied coldly, "Yes!"
Lin Yuan was surprised. "Really? Tell me now!"
Heimdall pointed at Thor, who was still chuckling foolishly beside him, and said, "Ask his father!"
Lin Yuan was stunned. Of course! As the Allfather and guardian of the Nine Realms, Odin must know other ways to travel to Midgard.
"Thank you, Heimdall." Lin Yuan transformed into a roc and said to Thor, "Thor, I'm going to look for Uncle Odin. Do you want to come with me?"
When Thor heard that his father knew how to get to Earth, he was overjoyed. He swung Mjolnir and followed Lin Yuan back to find Odin!
Heimdall watched the two figures receding into the distance, a faint smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, before turning his gaze back to the Nine Realms.
Chapter 30 I can finally go home.
"Uncle Odin!"
"Father!"
Two voices echoed in Odin's hall simultaneously.
Odin looked at the man and the bird flying in and frowned. "What is going on? Why are you making such a commotion?"
As soon as Lin Yuan landed, he transformed into a human and asked Odin impatiently, "Uncle Odin, do you know of any other way to get to Earth?"
After Thor landed, he looked at Odin with hopeful eyes.
Odin looked at Lin Yuan and smiled softly. "Why, little Lin Yuan, were you not treated well in Asgard? Why are you so eager to return home?"
Lin Yuan scratched his head and said embarrassedly, "No, no, I am having a lot of fun here. But Thor accidentally brought me here this time, and I didn't inform my family at all. I was worried they would be concerned."
Odin glared at Thor upon hearing that. Thor scratched his face sheepishly and chuckled.
Odin turned his gaze back to Lin Yuan. "I do know a way to get to Earth!"
Lin Yuan exclaimed excitedly, "Really? Why didn't you tell me before?"
Odin: You didn't ask!
Lin Yuan: "Okay, my mistake."
Odin glanced at the excited Lin Yuan and said, "Don't get too excited yet. There are ways, but it depends on which one you choose!"
"Wow, there's more than one? Uncle Odin, please tell me quickly!" Lin Yuan was even happier.
Odin composed himself, held up two fingers, and said slowly, "First, I can ask a good friend on Earth to come and take you back."
Lin Yuan was dumbfounded and asked cautiously, "Uncle Odin, the friend you are referring to is not the one from Kamar-Taj, is it?"
"It is her. Do you know her?" Odin was also curious as to why Lin Yuan knew of this individual.
It really is that powerful figure! Odin's friend must also be a big shot, and the biggest shot on Earth right now is the bald sorcerer. But should I let that guy come to pick me up? Lin Yuan thought, Who do I think I am, asking others to come and fetch me?
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan waved his hands and refused. "No, no, no, Allfather Odin, please don't trouble that great master. A minor individual like me is not worthy of his attention!"
Odin looked at Lin Yuan strangely but said nothing more, then continued, "The second way is that I can use dark magic to teleport you back."
"Dark magic?" Lin Yuan muttered to himself. Although he didn't fully understand the principles of magic, he knew that dark magic in the Marvel universe often came with a price.
So Lin Yuan quickly asked, "Uncle Odin, will it greatly harm you if you use dark magic?"
Seeing Lin Yuan's concerned expression, Odin chuckled. "Don't worry, young one. This price will not have a significant impact on me. It is just that I sustained serious injuries in the past and have not yet fully recovered. Therefore, if I were to send you back to Earth, it would take at least one or two years for me to recuperate enough to safely wield dark magic for such a teleportation."
Looking at Odin, who appeared perfectly healthy, Lin Yuan thought silently, Uncle Odin doesn't look injured, so the injury he mentioned must be different from what I imagined. I wonder if my healing skills would work on his ailment. I'll give it a try. If he can recover, that would be wonderful, and I could return home sooner.
Thinking of this, Lin Yuan said to Odin, "Uncle Odin, you know that I am a druid, and druids are not only skilled in transformation spells but also in healing. How about I use some spells to see if I can help with your injury?"
At this point, Lin Yuan felt a pang of longing. Druids are actually proficient in natural magic. Woohoo, dog system, give me back my attack skills!
"Oh! You also know healing spells?" Odin became interested, stood up, and said to Lin Yuan, "Cast a few spells for me to observe!"
Lin Yuan wasted no time. He first used Healing Touch, then Rejuvenation Technique. After a moment's thought, he added the Detoxification Technique, which he had recently learned.
"Hmm, nature's energy? A very fine spell; it seems to have some effect, a remarkable spell. It is a pity that the young one's power is too weak; my fundamental injuries cannot be healed by magic of this level. But it is impressive; it should aid in a slight recovery if used a few more times. Is the second spell a continuous effect? A potent effect indeed! Hmm? Is the third spell for detoxification? It can actually remove all the residual toxins in my body, incredible!"
Odin, as the Allfather, was indeed perceptive. He recognized Lin Yuan's use of natural magic with a single sensation and accurately assessed the spells' effects.
What surprised him the most was the Detoxification Technique, which seemed to bypass levels and eliminate toxins that had accumulated in his body over the years, even though these toxins no longer had any significant impact on him. Nevertheless, it was a surprising feat.
This young one could indeed be of great help when he matures, Odin mused, but alas, time waits for no one, and Odin no longer has the luxury of waiting for the boy to grow.
"Young Lin Yuan, your spells are truly commendable, but it is a pity that your current power is limited. Your present spells are indeed beneficial to me, but the effect is not substantial. However, they can indeed accelerate my recovery from my old wounds. Let us do this: you will assist me with healing each day, and you only need to use the first spell three times. Using it more will not yield further benefit. The second spell has a continuous effect, correct? Simply continue to use it. The third spell is unnecessary for my injuries."
Lin Yuan breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it helped, that was what mattered!
But he was also a little surprised. Odin's injuries must be truly profound if even his own healing spells couldn't fully mend them.
Thinking of this, he began to mentally berate the system again. "Damn system, you still have the audacity to call yourself a super invincible auxiliary system! If you can't even heal a simple injury, what good are you?!"
The system's voice became slightly distorted with urgency. "Beep~, host, please have some self-awareness! Haven't you heard others remark on your lack of power? I told you long ago that the effectiveness of your skills is directly tied to your mana strength! But do you even consider what you've become? Look at what you've done since arriving in this world! You do nothing but eat and play all day, play and sleep, and eat again upon waking! You can count the number of battles you've participated in on one hand, and that was only because I absorbed the surrounding energy to increase your mana! And you still have the nerve to say that I'm useless?!"
Lin Yuan was taken aback by the system's outburst and stammered in embarrassment, "Okay, okay! I was wrong. I'll try harder next time!"
"Ding, the young one is teachable. Carry on, young one!" The system's voice sounded a little smug. It was a rare opportunity to lecture the host, and it felt rather satisfying.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Yuan thought stupidly for a long while and suddenly realized, "Fuck, you bastard system! I was almost led astray by you! And you still dare to blame me? Didn't you destroy all my attack skills? I'm practically fighting with my bare teeth!"
"Oops, he's onto me!" The system's voice became sheepish. "Ding, host, you can use your teeth to fight in any transformed form!"
"Get lost~"
"Ding, OK!"
Having learned how to return home, Lin Yuan stopped being lazy and diligently went to Odin every day during this period to assist with his healing.
Finally, two months later, Odin informed Lin Yuan that his injuries had nearly fully recovered and he was once again capable of wielding dark magic.
Lin Yuan burst into tears of joy. He could finally go home!
Wonderful~~~~~
