Hearing this, Sharon took out her phone and opened a news article.
"You mean the Norse God of Thunder? He's here."
Luke looked over in confusion. A man and a beast were actually fighting like that in the Pacific Ocean.
…Why does this look so familiar?
Sharon scrolled down and opened a short video clip, only about ten seconds long.
A man wreathed in lightning slammed his hammer into Godzilla's head, only to be sent flying in the next moment, followed by a blast of Atomic Breath.
Thor reacted quickly, barely dodging the attack before circling behind Godzilla.
He seemed to have realized that Godzilla's arms were short, deliberately targeting its back.
However, although Godzilla was massive and not particularly agile, its nearly two-hundred-meter-long tail was far from decorative.
With a single sweep, it sent Thor flying tens of thousands of meters, reducing him to a tiny speck in the distance.
Even his hammer appeared to have fallen into the sea and disappeared.
Godzilla then dived back into the ocean, seemingly satisfied, and went off to rest.
Luke was speechless.
No wonder Thor had gone quiet. He had gone off to fight Godzilla. The guy really had nerve.
Did he really think Godzilla's hundred-thousand-ton body was just for show?
"Do we have any information on Thor's current location?"
Luke asked casually.
Sharon Carter shook her head. "The Bureau sent people to search for him, but local surveillance only caught a flash of golden light. We don't know anything else."
Luke nodded, wondering what that so-called golden light could be.
As if on cue, he sensed a faint fluctuation of magic.
A golden portal opened outside the main door.
It was clearly a portal from Kamar-Taj.
A moment later, Ancient One stepped out, bringing Thor along with her.
"Your friend, Luke, I have brought him to you."
The Ancient One maintained her calm smile, while Thor stood behind her, awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.
Luke shook his head, speechless. "I think you'd better send him back to Asgard and let Odin properly discipline him."
"No, no, no!" Thor panicked immediately upon hearing that. If he returned to Asgard, wouldn't his father, Odin, punish him severely?
"I think Midgard is great. Really! I love it here. There are challenges everywhere, and I can keep training. Like that big guy yesterday, I have to defeat him!"
Thor waved his hands repeatedly. The comparison alone made him uneasy. He couldn't accept that Odin would actually strike him.
Luke rolled his eyes. "Godzilla is my friend."
Thor's smile stiffened, his expression turning awkward. "Uh… we were just sparring. Yes, that's right. Just sparring."
"Wait!"
Thor glanced at the unmanned mechs outside the barrier, his eyes lighting up. "Those are enemies, right? I'll go help you deal with them!"
He abruptly changed the subject, raised Mjolnir, and charged toward the battlefield. Fighting. Perfect.
Luke sighed and rubbed his forehead.
Ancient One continued smiling calmly. "This Asgardian friend of yours is quite interesting. It's a pity he has yet to realize his true power."
"Whatever. I'm not his father."
Luke couldn't be bothered. If Odin wasn't worried, why should he be?
"Luke…"
"Stop right there. I'm not agreeing."
Luke already knew what she was about to say just from her expression.
You leave after you die, and I'm the one left to deal with the aftermath. Nice idea.
Luke's expression shifted slightly, and a Resurrection Cross and a legendary Resurrection Ring appeared in his hand.
He poured a portion of his energy into them, raising both to their highest level.
The former could revive someone who had just died, restoring them to full vitality.
The latter could bring the dead back at their peak condition.
Given the Ancient One's current state, ordinary treatment methods would be useless. He had to take a more direct approach.
"I have a treatment method. It consumes a bit of life force, but it has a chance to cure the 'cancer' in your body. Would you like to try?"
Luke tossed the Resurrection Cross and the Resurrection Ring to her.
The Ancient One caught them and carefully examined their aura. With her knowledge, she quickly grasped their general functions.
"Resurrection items?"
She was genuinely surprised. Even among Kamar-Taj's vast collection of artifacts, there were no items of this kind.
There was only one unique exception, the Time Stone, and even that could no longer be used freely.
Items like these could truly be called divine artifacts.
On one hand, they were extremely difficult to create.
On the other, and more importantly, in this world, Death was not something that could be challenged lightly.
To a certain extent, resurrection itself was taboo.
Amid her surprise, the way she looked at Luke carried a trace of admiration.
You are truly bold.
The Ancient One spoke tactfully, "It would be better to discuss this carefully. Using such precious artifacts on me would be a waste. You should keep them for yourself… or give them to those close to you."
"You don't need to worry about that. The people around me already have several sets. They can't even use them all."
Luke spoke casually. To him, resurrection items were nothing special. The Reality Editor was far beyond such things.
The Ancient One was even more shocked this time.
Now, the look she gave Luke held not only admiration, but also a faint trace of fear.
For others, obtaining even a single resurrection item was incredibly difficult, yet he was handing them out in bulk.
Could it be that Death was actually related to him?
Ancient One thought for a moment, then spoke cautiously, "Luke, I didn't expect you to have such a close relationship with Death."
Luke raised an eyebrow. "Not really. I just have other ways of producing resurrection items."
…So they weren't granted by Death, but effectively smuggled in?
The Ancient One felt a chill.
You truly are the bravest person in the world.
The item in her hand suddenly felt like it was burning.
It was valuable, but in this world, it was not something she could safely use.
With Annihilation and Eternity already involved in questionable matters, who knew what roles Infinity and Death were playing?
But as that thought passed through her mind, she suddenly changed her mind.
This was an opportunity.
She nodded quickly, afraid Luke might change his mind. "Alright, I agree. Go ahead and begin. Don't hold back."
Luke did not act immediately. Instead, he took out a maximally enhanced Horse Talisman and tossed it to her.
"Try this first."
After taking it, the Ancient One's expression shifted slightly. Then she calmly returned it. "It's useless."
"Really?" Luke frowned.
"Completely useless."
"Alright. Then here I go."
Luke raised his hand and unleashed Finger of Death. This was one of Archimonde's ultimate abilities, a new skill obtained after the Skill Library update.
It was a composite spell combining Shadow, one of the six fundamental forces of demonic power, and Fel Energy, making it a high-intensity single-target attack.
True to its name, it brought certain death.
A dark violet, lightning-like energy shot from Luke's fingertip. The Ancient One's expression changed drastically. For a brief moment, she felt as though she were facing a dimensional demon god.
No. Even an ordinary dimensional demon god would not possess such overwhelming, malevolent power. It was the absolute opposite of life, the nemesis of all order and light.
She suppressed the instinct to resist.
More precisely, she wasn't confident she could block it.
The entire process lasted only an instant.
The moment the Finger of Death struck, it stripped her of all life.
[Killed abnormal target: Ancient One. Gained 9,000 anomaly points]
[Reality Editor upgraded to Version 5.7. Current anomaly points: 3,300 / 4,800]
Luke couldn't help but marvel inwardly.
She had hidden herself well. Her value was even higher than the Phoenix, and even Thor combined with Mjolnir.
She was the highest-value abnormal target he had encountered since arriving in this world.
