Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1090: Definite Battlefield

Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Thor’s eyes lit up with clear interest. He remembered several months ago when he was first exiled to Earth without any power, and Lin Rui had pinned him to the bed effortlessly.

Since then, Thor’s power had gradually recovered, and there had been a few playful exchanges with Lin Rui, but they had never truly gone all out.

So, when Thor heard that Lin Rui wanted to have a fight with him, he naturally became very interested. Although Thor couldn’t fully control Mjölnir yet, his strength had already become formidable enough, and he had the confidence to overpower Lin Rui.

“Alright! Are we going to fight here?” After a brief consideration, Thor’s expression turned serious as he asked Lin Rui.

“Of course not here! Do you want to demolish this whole apartment building?” Lin Rui replied helplessly.

With that, Lin Rui stood up from the sofa. Dusting off his backside, he glanced at Thor, who was still slumped on the couch.

“Get up, put on your clothes, and let’s find a suitable place to have a proper fight. I won’t go easy on you.” Lin Rui urged, kicking Thor’s leg to prompt him to move.

“Hah! Do you think I need you to go easy on me? Watch as I knock you down today, and don’t come crying for your parents when you lose.” Thor got up from the couch after being kicked by Lin Rui twice, showing his disdain for Lin Rui’s words.

“Only the two of us will know what happens today. I won’t tell anyone else. Otherwise, it would be quite embarrassing if the mighty Prince of Asgard loses to an ordinary Earthling like me!” Lin Rui continued speaking without reservation as he watched Thor go to fetch his clothes.

“Let’s go! Where should we go for the fight?” Thor turned around and asked after quickly putting on some clothes.

“We definitely can’t go to the city center. If we don’t want others to know, there aren’t many places suitable…” Lin Rui hadn’t actually thought about where their battlefield should be because this was just a spur-of-the-moment idea.

Both Lin Rui and Thor weren’t ordinary individuals. Thor had been under SHIELD’s surveillance ever since he was exiled to Earth, and Tony had undoubtedly instructed JARVIS to keep an eye on Lin Rui due to the Earth’s sorcerer matters. Their movements were being monitored, so it would be difficult to find a secluded place to have a fight without attracting attention from other onlookers.

“I have an idea. I’ll call Jack, just wait a moment,” Lin Rui suddenly spoke up after thinking for a while.

“Jack? Who’s that?” Thor asked, puzzled, but Lin Rui had already dialed Jack’s number. After a brief conversation, Lin Rui hung up the phone and waited.

Buzzing…

Several seconds later, to Thor’s surprise, a magic portal composed of golden light appeared in the center of the apartment living room. Jack walked out of it. Since withdrawing from the selection process for the new Supreme Sorcerer in the Earth’s sorcerer lineage due to Lin Rui’s serious injury, Jack hadn’t shown up for several days.

“Huh? A sorcerer? Jackson, I thought you said you weren’t in contact with them anymore?” Thor became even more puzzled when he saw Jack emerge from the Magic Cube portal.

“Well… Jack is different. He’s my partner and a member of the League of Defenders,” Lin Rui briefly explained in response to Thor’s question.

“Jack, can you create an independent Mirror Dimension now? It doesn’t need to be large, just enough for me and this big guy here to have a good fight inside for a few minutes. It won’t take long to finish the battle anyway.” After answering Thor’s question, Lin Rui turned to Jack and asked, not forgetting to deliver a verbal blow to his opponent later on.

“Mirror Dimension? I still can’t perform that kind of magic,” Jack truthfully replied to Lin Rui’s question.

Having withdrawn from the selection process for the new Supreme Sorcerer, Jack hadn’t been able to learn more advanced magic when Stephen Strange had already started delving into the Mirror Dimension.

However, Jack had no regrets because the safety of his partner was the most important thing to him. Of course, once this event was safely resolved, Lin Rui would definitely encourage Jack to continue learning magic.

“If we can’t create a Mirror Dimension, then we’ll have to find a place that isn’t easily seen. Jack, take us to the desert, preferably one that hasn’t been frequented by people,” Lin Rui said, slightly disappointed by Jack’s answer, but quickly finding an alternative solution.

“The desert? Sure,” Jack nodded in response to Lin Rui’s words.

Then, Jack quickly waved his hands, and another magic portal appeared in the apartment living room. This time, as soon as the magic portal appeared, a wave of heat surged out from within, and both Lin Rui and Thor could feel the dryness in the air.

“Let’s go, this is our battlefield.” Without much hesitation, Lin Rui said to Thor and stepped forward into the portal.

Buzzing…

Thor quickly followed Lin Rui, and Jack entered last. Then, the magic portal vanished. The SHIELD surveillance team, who had been monitoring Thor’s daily life from the opposite apartment, had no idea that their targets had disappeared.

Since Lin Rui’s arrival, they had lost track of him. This had happened a few times before, so the surveillance team wasn’t worried. They figured nothing would go wrong anyway.

However, while the SHIELD surveillance team hadn’t noticed the disappearance of their targets, JARVIS, who had been keeping an eye on Lin Rui’s movements, immediately informed Tony the moment Lin Rui and the others entered the magic portal.

“Where did Jackson take that Asgardian prince?” Tony murmured to himself, his brows slightly furrowed, upon receiving JARVIS’ alert, as he was dealing with some matters at Stark Industries.

“Since Jackson knows about my existence, they weren’t under surveillance during their conversation, so we can’t determine their destination,” JARVIS replied to Tony’s musings.

“It’s probably nothing. Maybe they just went out to clear their heads. But if the Bifrost appears, notify me immediately,” Tony said after thinking for a moment, feeling that nothing serious would happen, but still giving a reminder.

“Understood, sir,” JARVIS calmly responded to Tony’s words.

Tony then continued to attend to his company’s affairs. Although Pepper Potts was now the CEO of Stark Industries, there were still some matters that Tony needed to handle himself.

Of course, Tony had no idea that Lin Rui had deliberately stayed out of their sight to have a real fight with Thor. As for how the battle would unfold, it was hard to say.
