Chapter 1161: Worry
Taking a minute, Lin Rui briefly introduced Ancient One, King Odin, and Star-Lordâs father, Ego. Although Star-Lord probably had many questions about Lin Ruiâs simple explanations, now wasnât the time for detailed inquiries.
Besides Ancient One, whose appearance was expected by Lin Rui, King Odinâs support was somewhat assured. Before taking action to confront Dormammu, Lin Rui had already instructed Thor to attempt to contact Asgard.
After leaving Earth, Thor managed to establish communication with Asgard. After explaining the situation and sending a distress signal, Thor joined Lin Rui to confront Dormammu.
However, the appearance of Star-Lordâs father, Ego, was indeed unexpected for Lin Rui. Nevertheless, if the timeline or the Guardians of the Galaxyâs plot had progressed to this point, Egoâs arrival seemed somewhat logical.
However, Lin Rui, who knew about the Guardians of the Galaxyâs storyline, didnât have a particularly good impression of Star-Lordâs father.
âNow that we know the identities of those three⊠Phantom Knight, do you really believe they can deal with Dormammu?â After listening to Lin Ruiâs introduction, Captain Rogers asked again.
Although Lin Rui had already expressed his opinion to Tony earlier, Captain Rogers seemed to be more cautious. After all, it was Lin Rui who had first conveyed the news that Dormammu intended to attack and devour Earth, and he had organized their resistance against Dormammu.
Furthermore, he seemed to have a comprehensive understanding of the backgrounds of the three individuals, so it was only natural for Captain Rogers to expect Lin Rui to know the outcome of their confrontation with Dormammu.
âAs I said earlier, I believe the outcome will be favorable,â Lin Rui reiterated in response to Rogersâ inquiry.
However, despite Lin Ruiâs answer, Captain Rogers and the others didnât seem entirely reassured. It wasnât that they didnât trust Lin Rui, but rather, Lin Ruiâs tone didnât convey absolute certainty.
In other words, he didnât feel there was a hundred percent chance of success. And if those three powerful figures couldnât resolve Dormammu, then they would be facing the grim reality of Earth being devoured.
Just over a week ago, when Tony and the others had a falling out with the Earth Sorcerers, they believed they could just leave the threat of Dormammu to them for resolution. Now, it seemed that if they indeed left it to the sorcerers, they would be daydreaming while Earth got devoured.
âWe donât need to ask him; I can answer that. With my father there, Dormammu will definitely be defeated,â Thor suddenly spoke up while everyone was deep in thought about Lin Ruiâs response.
In Thorâs eyes, the formidable enemy shrouded in black mist was undoubtedly powerful, perhaps the most formidable foe he had ever faced. However, the Allfather Odin was invincible in Thorâs view. Although Odin hadnât taken action during the invasion of Asgard by the Dark Elves, it didnât affect his status in Thorâs eyes.
Upon hearing Thorâs resolute words, the people from Earth and even Star-Lordâs team were encouraged. If Thor had such confidence in his father, could they not trust him too? After all, Thor had already demonstrated considerable strength, and Odinâs recent display of power was indeed impressive.
However, compared to the others who were somewhat uplifted, Loki, who stood behind Thor, didnât seem as resolute as his brother. Loki, the God of Mischief, had much deeper thoughts than Thor.
Regardless of Odinâs age, Thor believed that he was still the same peak-powerful King of the Nine Realms as before. However, Loki knew that the once peak-powerful king had grown old; dealing with a Frost Giant leader like Laufey required strategy. Therefore, he didnât share Thorâs unwavering confidence.
Furthermore, Loki was well aware of the hidden injuries of Ancient One. While these injuries might not pose a problem under normal circumstances, facing an opponent of Dormammuâs caliber and having to suppress the injuries during battle was a different story.
As for the last arrival, who claimed to be Star-Lordâs father, Loki could sense that he was indeed very powerful but lacked a certain vigor. These three individuals, despite being the most formidable figures in the entire universe, didnât appear to be in their prime, and that was the reason for Lokiâs furrowed brow.
The worries of Loki were not known to the others, and after Lin Rui had answered Captain Rogersâ inquiry, combined with Thorâs confident statement, most of them believed that Dormammu, the formidable force, should be resolved by these three influential figures.
Therefore, at this moment, even though they were drifting through the cosmos, the deep-seated pressure they had initially felt was gradually dissipating.
âSo, if thatâs the case, can we head back to Earth now?â After Thorâs resolute words, Tony remained silent for a moment before continuing with this question.
Since the battle against Dormammu had been entirely entrusted to those three influential figures, and since Lin Rui and Thor were so certain that Dormammu would be dealt with successfully, there seemed to be no meaning in them continuing to drift through space.
Moreover, despite the E Grade Sky Warshipâs impressive performance in its first real combat, there were still some issues that hadnât arisen during testing. Therefore, for safetyâs sake, it was better for them to return to Earth first.
âYeah, letâs head back to Earth,â Captain Rogers also agreed with Tonyâs suggestion.
Upon hearing Tony and Captain Rogersâ words, the others in the cockpit silently nodded in agreement. Returning to Earth was what they all desired most at this moment. Star-Lordâs eyes also lit up; after more than twenty years, he was finally going back to his home planet, Earth.
Although most of the personnel from Earth who participated in the operation against Dormammu had remained on the Sky Warship and hadnât engaged in the battle directly, they had still been affected to varying degrees by the horrifying presence of Dormammu.
So, at this moment, apart from those who had been involved in the battle like Lin Rui, the overall state of the entire team had declined somewhat.
âPhantom Knight, when will you be fully recovered?â Seeing everyoneâs expressions, Tony looked at Lin Rui and asked further.
To return to Earth using the E Grade Spaceship, which currently couldnât operate its Warp engine properly, they would need to travel for quite some time. Therefore, they relied on Lin Rui to quickly return to Earth, thanks to the Magic Cube.
âItâll take about an hour more for a full recovery, after which I can open a rift in space to take us back to Earth,â Lin Rui responded after briefly assessing his physical condition, agreeing with everyoneâs desire to return to Earth quickly.
