Chapter 1160: Introduction
After all the individuals on Earth, including the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy, had gathered together (except for Groot), Lin Rui, who had somewhat recovered, did not immediately discuss what should be done next with everyone. This was because, given the current situation, even Lin Rui could only wait for the outcome.
So, with everyoneâs eyes on him, Lin Rui first asked Rocket, âRocket, do you know where we are now? How far are we from that previous stretch of space, and how far are we from Earth?â
Rocket, who had been rather irritated by the constant scrutiny from Earthâs inhabitants due to his unique appearance, quickly retrieved a small device and tapped on it a few times before looking up.
âWeâre seventeen point six light-years away from the previous stretch of space and one point four light-years from Earth. Weâre quite close to Earth now.â
âIn that case, the Portal from earlier was probably meant to take us back to Earth. Itâs just⊠the accuracy might not have been perfect,â Lin Rui murmured to himself upon hearing Rocketâs response.
Given the circumstances earlier, it was already quite a feat for Ancient One to consider Earth and transport them away. Some margin of error in the distance was entirely normal.
However, a distance of one point four light-years wouldnât take long with the intact Milano, but it was beyond repair here, and Earthâs E Grade Spaceship didnât have a fully perfected Warp engine. Even a slight error could send the entire spaceshipâs crew to a different location in the cosmos.
Nevertheless, these were not insurmountable issues. Once Lin Rui had fully recovered, he could use the Magic Cubeâs power to open a Portal to take them back. Lin Ruiâs recovery ability was currently quite potent, and it might not take long at all.
Tony and Captain Rogers knew what Lin Rui knew, so they werenât particularly surprised when they heard about the distance from Earth. Moreover, at this moment, returning to Earth wasnât the most critical issue. What mattered most was determining the outcome of Ancient Oneâs battle against Dormammu.
If Ancient One couldnât deal with Dormammu, Earth would be at Dormammuâs mercy. Even if they could return to Earth smoothly, it would be like facing the mantis with a blade, only to be crushed and devoured by Dormammu.
As Lin Rui pondered the situation after hearing Rocketâs response, he looked up to see Peter still staring at Rocket. The small, furry face of Rocket had undergone several changes, and he appeared on the verge of anger.
Being a genetically enhanced lifeform, Rocket was rather sensitive to being stared at as if he were some sort of amusement.
âSpider-Man, stop staring at Rocket. He doesnât like it,â Lin Rui reminded before Rocket could explode.
Hearing Lin Ruiâs words, Peter awkwardly averted his gaze. As a youngster, Peter found the appearance of Rocket, this extraordinarily unusual furry extraterrestrial, more intriguing than Tony and the others did.
âAll right, I think weâve all seen each other now. These are the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy I mentioned earlier. This is Star-Lord,â Lin Rui began to introduce the situation on the Guardians of the Galaxy side to Earthâs inhabitants, starting with Star-Lord.
After Lin Rui introduced Star-Lord, Tony and the others nodded cordially toward him. Although Star-Lord had been somewhat impolite when he first approached Lin Rui, they could understand his emotions at the time.
âHello, Iâm Star-Lord, and these are my teammates: Drax, Gamora, and this little guy is Rocket,â Star-Lord said, greeting Tony and the others while introducing his teammates.
Bang!
Just as Star-Lord finished introducing Rocket, a metal sphere hurtled from the side, aiming for Star-Lordâs head but narrowly missing as Star-Lord agilely dodged it.
However, standing behind Star-Lord, Drax didnât avoid the sphere and was struck squarely in the chest. Nevertheless, Draxâs physical resilience was so high that he paid no attention to the force of the metal sphere.
âYouâre the little guy! Your whole family is made up of little guys!!â The one who threw the metal sphere was undoubtedly Rocket, and as he tossed the sphere, he shouted angrily.
âHeheâŠâ
âStar-Lord, we have more people on this side, so we wonât introduce everyone individually. Besides, youâll get to know them soon enough,â Lin Rui said, unfazed by the scuffle between Rocket and Star-Lord.
âRight, so letâs discuss the matter weâre all waiting for. Those threeâŠâ
Upon hearing Star-Lordâs words, the eyes of the people in the cockpit also focused. During the previous encounter, they had been powerless against Dormammu, and after the arrival of Ancient One and the other two elders, they couldnât comprehend the ensuing battle, leaving them in awe.
Aside from Ancient One, they had no knowledge of the identities of the other two individuals.
âWell then, let me introduce the identities of those three. One of them is Ancient One, hailing from Earth and he is a Sorcerer, which you should all be familiar with,â Lin Rui began, slowly introducing the identities of the trio, his gaze sweeping across the room.
The first person Lin Rui introduced was Ancient One, whose identity was already known to Tony and the others. Lin Rui had mentioned earlier that defeating Dormammu would rely on Ancient One, so his appearance wasnât much of a surprise to them.
However, Star-Lord and his team were taken aback, not expecting that the powerful figure capable of casting two magic circles on a whim came from Earth.
âAnd the old man on the white horse is Thor and Lokiâs father, the King of Asgard, known as Odin,â Lin Rui continued, his gaze briefly resting on Thor and Loki when he mentioned Odin.
âAsgard! Father of Thor and Loki?!â Tony and the others couldnât help but exclaim in surprise upon hearing Lin Ruiâs introduction of Odin. They had known about Ancient Oneâs identity, but Odin, the King of Asgard, was a legendary figure and a god in Earthâs myths.
âAnd the last elder is Star-Lordâs father, named Ego,â Lin Rui continued without paying much attention to everyoneâs astonishment.
