Super Detective in the Fictional World

Chapter 2044 - 2044 Trade, Bragging

2044 Trade, Bragging

Thor subconsciously refused again. “No, it’s also an Infinity Stone… Uh, wait, why do you want it back?”

It had to be pointed out that it was Big Dipper who had snatched Loki’s scepter and the Tesseract back then, before Thor took the Tesseract away.

Now, why did he want the Tesseract back?

Big Dipper said indifferently, “Because the Dark Elves snuck into the Royal Palace of Asgard, attacked the dungeon, and stole the Aether.”

At that point, he turned to look at Thor and said slowly, “We took back the Aether and brought it to Asgard for a trade, not as a gift. After all, you’ve proven that you can’t safeguard the Infinity Stones.”

Thor was depressed. He thought for a moment, then shook his head. “When you had the Tesseract, you attracted the Chitauri…”

Big Dipper interrupted him bluntly. “That was Loki who caused the trouble. Also, we took it back.”

Thor put up one last struggle. “I participated in the battle too…”

Big Dipper said, “That was why you were able to take away Loki, the war criminal who caused tens of thousands of deaths, and the Tesseract.”

Thor was completely lost for words.

The battle in Greenwich this time was different from the Battle of New York.

However bad the situation in New York had been, Earth was only considered unlucky at most.

Even if that was Loki’s doing, Thor really had helped Earth as part of the main force, and hadn’t been biased in capturing his adopted brother.

For him to take half or even a little over that of the spoils of war hadn’t been too much.

The battle in Greenwich was different.

Malekith had been about to destroy the Nine Realms, and Asgard was among them.

Thor had fought to save his own home; Earth didn’t owe him anything.

It was White Wolf who had snatched back the Aether; Thor had played very little part in that.

Of course, that wasn’t the main point.

The main point was that Big Dipper had suggested that Asgard couldn’t safeguard the Infinity Stones.

The Asgardian buildings that the Dark Elves had destroyed hadn’t been repaired yet; the crown prince really didn’t have the courage to deny it.

It was precisely because there was already a problem with Asgard’s strength that Thor had no choice but to face reality.

Unfortunately, this reality was not what Asgard wanted.

Also, Big Dipper pointed out the crux of things — Asgard couldn’t keep two Infinity Stones at the same time.

In other words, even if they had the Aether, Asgard would send it elsewhere, which was wasted effort.

Thor pondered for a long while, and suddenly thought of something. “No, this way, there will also be two Infinity Stones on Earth, which isn’t safe.”

Big Dipper’s expression was complicated. “Are you… sure that two Stones aren’t safe on Earth?”

Seeing his expression, Thor felt uncertain. “Er, I believe so.”

Big Dipper shook his head quickly. “You’re wrong. Once your father placed the Tesseract on Earth, there had always been two Infinity Stones there.”

Thor: “That’s impossible!”

Big Dipper waved his hand. “Let me finish.”

“Oh.” Aggrieved, Thor shut up.

Big Dipper said, “You’re talking about the Mind Stone in Vision’s head, but I’ll think of a way to take it off.”

Thor was astonished. “What?”

That was an Infinity Stone! And it was the source of most of Vision’s power. Was this guy trying to kill Vision?

Big Dipper was too lazy to talk to him anymore. He said bluntly, “Asgard will just keep the Infinity Stones in the highest-level treasure vault. Who would hang it on their forehead?”

Thor choked and felt that it made sense.

Big Dipper said, “So, it’s better for Vision to take it off sooner than to be killed and robbed of it. Naturally, the Stone will be given to you to deal with.”

Wasn’t this just making things even more troublesome? Thor was at a loss. “Why?”

Handing over the Aether and the Mind Stone was enough to prove that Big Dipper wasn’t greedy for the Stones, but it was also hard to understand why he insisted on taking the Tesseract.

Big Dipper said indifferently, “Because I don’t want someone else to come and go on Earth as they like after getting the Tesseract.”

Thor was even more puzzled. “Isn’t that something our Bifrost can also do?”

Big Dipper glanced at him. “I also want the enemy to taste what it’s like for me to come and go freely among them.”

Thor was enlightened and instantly understood the logic behind Big Dipper’s behavior. F*ck, you make it sound so nice, but it’s just that you’re used to stabbing people in the back!

A guy who liked going on killing sprees would naturally prefer a space artifact like the Tesseract.

Even Malekith, who had the protection of the Aether, suffered a huge loss in close quarters with Big Dipper; other enemies would suffer even more.

In fact, this was indeed one of the important reasons why Luke had asked for the Tesseract.

Once Thor understood, he thought for a moment before he nodded. “Then wait for me here. I’ll give you an answer after I discuss it with my father.”

With that, he flew back with the hammer.

The two clones standing on the open platform looked at each other, shook their heads, then sat down on the banister along the edge of the platform.

After Thor left, there was no more movement.

The two clones, on the other hand, received a lot of attention on the high platform.

Previously, White Wolf had been under surveillance in the barracks, and Big Dipper had been directly sent to the dungeon. Naturally, he couldn’t wear his armor.

White Wolf was now wearing a nanosuit that had been transformed into a skintight combat suit, while Big Dipper was wearing his regular shirt and combat pants.

These two styles were very different from the classical robes of Asgardian civilians.

Soon, a woman came over to chat them up.

It was a little too much to say that Asgardian men were all like Tom Cruise, but it was true that none of them were ugly, to say nothing of the women.

But the people here could live up to 3,000 years, so Luke didn’t have any other thoughts.

He wasn’t interested in 3,000-year-old immortal women.

But this high platform was along a main road, and it happened every now and then.

Big Dipper’s ‘bearded uncle’ appearance, in particular, was the ‘standard’ look in Asgard, and he was quite popular.

Luke didn’t want to casually use his abilities here — there might be a monitoring system of some sort here.

The two of them were extras here.

If they were discovered to be using abilities, it would easily arouse suspicion.

So, Luke did the opposite.

When the Asgardian women chatted them up, the two clones went along with their questions and said that they represented Earth, which had defeated and destroyed the Dark Elves.

The two of them had come to Asgard to discuss the aftermath of the attack with Prince Thor.

The Asgardians, who had been blown up by the Dark Elves a few days ago, were quite sensitive about this topic.

At that moment, even many men surrounded the two clones and listened to them talk about the battle in Greenwich.

To be honest, the scale of this battle was nothing in the eyes of the Asgardians, but the opponents had been Dark Elves.

Who would dare say that the Dark Elves were nothing? If so, what about Asgard, which had lost a lot of soldiers and civilians, and which had allowed the Dark Elves to escape in the end?
