Being an otaku in the world of American comics

#844 - Spicy Shredded Chicken

After a period of small talk, Elizabeth and the others naturally didn't forget their mission upon returning, so they casually took out the panoramic sand table to check the situation in London.

Unfortunately, with the Nine Realms juxtaposed and space-time distorted, even the black technology detection methods of the intelligent AI, Xiaowu, seemed to be significantly affected.

Especially the skies above London and certain areas within the city were now a hazy gray.

"Looks like the situation isn't good. Enough chatter, sisters~ Let's go!"

Seeing this, Nan Lixiang raised an eyebrow, and with a wave of her sleeve, a spatial passage appeared beside her, connecting to a shimmering ocean~

"Huh? Is this space-time distortion affecting even the spatial gates?"

"The Earth mages' opening spells rely too much on spatial laws. Slight fluctuations can easily cause inaccurate spatial coordinates."

Upon seeing this, Liang Yue waved his hand lightly at the spatial gate. The other side spun and shifted through time and space, and they arrived in a bustling metropolis.

Through the glow of the morning sun, they could already see some of London's iconic buildings in the distance.

Seeing this, each of them led their respective pets through the spatial gate, directly arriving in this bustling urban area from the lush, cattle-filled small-town farm.

"This is ~ Greenwich?"

Elizabeth looked around and quickly recognized the specific location of this area.

"This is the central area reflected on Earth during the current juxtaposition of the Nine Realms. The space is unstable, and even gravity fluctuates. Hmm?"

As he spoke, Liang Yue suddenly seemed to sense something, and his gaze turned to a square not far away, adjacent to a forest and a lake.

There, a T-shaped spaceship was slowly emerging from a spatial rift connecting to another world.

The ship's long, narrow lower edge was like a blade, cutting through the lake surface and stirring up rolling waves.

The collision with the water caused the originally cloaked spaceship to reveal its outline.

Subsequently, the Dark Elves simply stopped disguising themselves and directly deactivated the ship's cloaking mode, proceeding along the lake surface.

Scraping the ground, it plowed a deep trench in the hard concrete layer.

The people who were leisurely strolling in the square were suddenly thrown into chaos when they saw such a giant spaceship, nearly two to three hundred meters long, appearing. They screamed and fled in all directions.

"Is there any way to enclose that spaceship for me? When the fighting starts later, don't harm the innocent, and preferably don't cause any serious damage."

Elizabeth, who had already arrived in the sky, stared at the trench plowed by the T-shaped spaceship's lower edge in the square below, narrowing her eyes.

She subconsciously wanted to use spatial magic to confine the entire area into a mirror dimension.

But then she thought about the current environment of space-time distortion and turned her pleading gaze to Liang Yue beside her.

Liang Yue rolled his eyes upon hearing this, thinking that this little girl had a lot of requests.

However, he still followed her request, raising both hands and quickly erecting a mirror dimension around the area.

Compared to the spatial spells used by Earth mages on a daily basis to avoid collateral damage, the one that Liang Yue was using at this moment was clearly different.

There is an old Chinese saying: 'One force can overcome ten skills!'

The space that Liang Yue was creating at this moment actually followed this concept. With his own great magic power and understanding of spatial rules, he forcibly established a mirror world in the surrounding area.

Without relying on the rules of the general environment, it only followed his own understanding of spatial laws.

Using his own magic power to withstand the external world's space-time distortion, he constructed such a special space.

"Xiaowu~"

While casting the spell, Liang Yue didn't forget to instruct the intelligent AI, Xiaowu, to cut off the enemy's retreat~

"Infiltrating the enemy's spaceship. Estimated time to take control of the spaceship is three minutes. Please wait patiently, Master!"

...

After the mirror dimension was erected, it was as if several gray walls had been constructed in the surrounding space, confining the space within a dozen miles in the middle.

The scenery looked no different from before, only as if it were covered with a slightly hazy glass, but in reality, this place was no longer in the same space as the real Earth.

Everything that happened here would not affect the outside world.

The Dark Elves were obviously knowledgeable and may not have seen such a battle formation for the first time. Therefore, at the first moment of being surrounded, they immediately started the spaceship, turned around, and wanted to escape directly.

Relying on the Dark Elves' research on spatial theory, they might actually have a chance to break Liang Yue's mirror dimension and escape.

Of course, there was only that possibility.

Moreover, under the circumstances of space-time distortion, even if they escaped, the greatest possibility was that they would only escape to some unknown place. In short, the exit was not fixed.

However, Liang Yue had already taken precautions and had Xiaowu infiltrate the enemy's spaceship one step ahead of time.

Soon, after a moment of stalemate, which only lasted a minute or two.

Different from the original plot, this time the Reality Stone, which the Dark Elves called Aether, did not pass through Jane Foster's body for transit.

As for whether that woman was taken to Asgard by Thor as in the original plot, that was not something Liang Yue cared about.

In short, the stone was now in his hands, and it had not passed through Jane Foster or gone to Asgard.

Therefore, although the Dark Elves were still full of hatred for the Asgardians, under the premise that the first goal was to retrieve the Aether, they did not attack Asgard itself as in the original plot.

...

"Earth mage, did you take away my clan's inherited secret treasure?"

At this time, Malekith slowly stepped out from among the Dark Elves, who were guarding him, and said in a deep voice, looking at Elizabeth and her group.

"Are you talking about this thing?"

At this moment, Liang Yue's figure flashed, and he appeared in front of the women. At the same time, he flipped his palm and took out the red mud that he had rolled into a ball from the backpack space.

"It's the Aether!"

The opposite Malekith immediately widened his eyes when he saw this thing, his eyes filled with excitement and desire.

Then, he stretched out a hand, seemingly wanting to use the tacit understanding that the Dark Elves had cultivated with the Reality Stone for many years to summon it from someone's hand.

At this time, Liang Yue did indeed sense a force wanting to fly away from the gem in his palm.

But unfortunately, this red mud was still forcibly kept in his palm by him with gravity control~

"It seems that your attraction to it is not strong enough."

Looking at the somewhat astonished look on Malekith's face, Liang Yue smiled and casually put the gem back into his backpack space.

"Go, take back the Aether!"

As the leader of the Dark Elves, Malekith immediately roared angrily, pointing at Liang Yue.

At the same time, another hand hidden behind his back quickly pulled open the safety ring of a black hole grenade with a secret technique and threw it towards Liang Yue.
