Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 996 - 801: First, Let Me Borrow It

Amidst a nebula, Asgard appeared dreamlike and surreal, carrying a sense of ornate majesty.

The World Tree absorbed energy from all realms, continuously channeling it toward the Rainbow Bridge’s control platform, causing countless streaks of radiant light to shimmer at its base.

On a platform resembling an observatory, a group of people was bidding farewell to Tao Yu.

"Hey, brother, Asgard always welcomes you as a guest."

Thor glanced at the hammer hanging from Tao Yu’s waist and gave him a hug.

"You’re welcome to Earth too."

Although Loki had been sent off, the Rainbow Bridge remained, which meant Thor could still visit Earth anytime.

Even with the World Tree experiencing pollution, as an independent realm, the World Will of the Marvel universe wasn’t a pushover and wouldn’t be corrupted too quickly.

Whether it was the Ancient One, the Big Boss, or Heimdall, to some extent, it was their proactive contact with the Abyss that caused the trouble.

The pollution of the World Tree itself was due to its roots reaching too deeply into it.

With the hidden trouble at Heimdall’s end resolved, there wasn’t an immediate need to worry about Asgard’s situation.

In retrospect, it was quite risky; when Heimdall was corrupted, it was Asgard’s most vulnerable moment.

If not for Loki, that mischievous child, letting Heimdall pollute Odin would have been catastrophic. Picture Odin, riding the Destroyer and wielding the Eternal Spear, storming toward Earth—that would’ve been a real headache.

Even using the energy of the Rainbow Bridge harnessed from the World Tree to attack would have been extremely perilous.

"Honestly, Loki did contribute; I guess I’ll be gentler next time."

Thinking of Loki, who he had hammered into the Void, Tao Yu shook his head.

Hopefully, next time, after Odin awakens, there will be an opportunity for deeper discussions in Asgard.

For now, he had attained negotiating status equal to Odin and hoped to enlist his help in acquiring a Cosmic Original Stone...

...

Times Square is a landmark in New York, and the giant screens that broadcast daily have often been used for costly advertisements.

Especially now, with the rise of the short video era, influencers have started paying to feature on the screens, recording it to promote themselves in their videos constantly.

It has become an even hotter social media check-in spot.

With the increased crowds, the area had grown busier, filled with bustling pedestrians.

However, the increased foot traffic had also worsened the sanitation conditions there.

Swish~

A multicolored pillar of light tore through the sky, descending onto the bustling square.

The dazzling, prismatic aurora, accompanied by a surge of immense energy, caused gasps and screams among the crowd, who quickly scattered away.

Soon, Tao Yu and Hogan, one of the Three Warriors of the Immortal Palace, emerged from the light.

"Wow, not a bad experience."

Tao Yu’s eyes glimmered with a faint blue radiance as he marveled at the mechanics of the Rainbow Bridge.

The powerful energy compressed space violently, creating dimensional movement. The Rainbow Bridge itself would serve perfectly as a weapon.

"Asgard’s spatial stability is much higher, and given this distance, even I can’t directly open a portal there for now."

After a simple attempt, Tao Yu reached a conclusion.

His body gradually became enveloped in a hazy glow as he turned to Hogan and said,

"We’ll head to Tony’s place and have him take you to the UN."

"I’m in your debt."

Hogan respectfully bowed slightly to Tao Yu. Tao Yu nodded before opening a portal that led directly to Tony’s lab.

The two of them entered the portal without hesitation in the middle of the bustling Times Square, under the watchful eyes of countless onlookers.

The surrounding pedestrians, many holding Anthony-brand smartphones, were frantically recording the scene like madmen.

Some started sharing it on social media, while others were already uploading short videos or sending them to news outlets!

"Hey, doesn’t that guy look like that one Mage we saw before?"

"Yeah, and the guy next to him—I remember he’s one of Thor’s companions, an Asgardian, right?"

"They descended straight from the sky!"

"Oh my god, they must really be divine spirits! That multicolored spectacle earlier had to be the Rainbow Bridge!"

"..."

A chorus of astonishment spread quickly across the internet. Since Thor’s existence had already been public knowledge, many recognized Hogan as well.

Hogan wasn’t actually an Asgardian, but netizens didn’t bother with such distinctions.

Back when Tony had Thor put on a small show of talent, he managed to intimidate the average netizen.

But this time, in comparison, those who had witnessed the Rainbow Bridge descend over the streets of New York firsthand—even with countless perspectives and live experiences from different angles—the impact was indescribable.

Before any official statement could be made, countless rumors had already spread like wildfire.

’Asgard deploys forces in New York!’

’Breaking news: Asgard invades Earth!’

’Times Square has been occupied!’

’...’

...

Meanwhile, in his lab, Tony, busy working on his new suit, was slightly startled by Tao Yu’s sudden appearance.

"What’s this? Back from interstellar traveling in Asgard already?"

"Yeah, here, this might be useful to you."

Tao Yu retrieved several silver ingots from his spatial device and dropped them with a clatter in front of Tony.

"This is..."

Tony looked intrigued, and then a pleased expression appeared on his face as he seemed to figure it out.

Standing beside him, Hogan smiled as he began to explain.
