Chapter 237 The kids are old enough to run errands.
Finney was somewhat envious of Heimdall's eyes; he could see anything he wanted without even being there in person, even across star systems.
"Are there people there?"
Finney was still curious about Muspelheim and couldn't help but ask.
"There's a race called the Fire Demons, ruled by fire giants. They're huge, ferocious, and warlike."
Hearing Heimdall's answer, Finney was somewhat tempted by their large numbers, but Muspelheim wasn't a good choice for him.
His strongest attack method was still 'Explosion Magic,' and Muspelheim was a place of fire—the Land of Flames. The races living there had maxed-out fire resistance.
Releasing 'Explosion Magic' there would likely be at least halved in power.
Comparatively, Finney felt Jotunheim was the most suitable for him. First, the Frost Giant King Laufey of Jotunheim had been killed by the unfortunate Loki, greatly ensuring his safety.
Furthermore, it's an icy world, where not a spark can be seen year-round. If the 'explosive magic' in Muspelheim deals half the damage, then in Jotunheim it would at least double.
However, the only thing that troubled Phine was that he currently had no reason to fight there.
Although the Rainbow Bridge was broken and the Nine Realms were in chaos, only a few places were truly chaotic. Places like Muspelheim were inherently chaotic.
Or Svartefheim; the dark elves were currently drifting and slumbering in some unknown corner of the universe, not chaotic at all, not even a ghost in sight.
Jotunheim, on the other hand, was primarily the territory of frost giants, covered in ice and snow, a world with few resources, and practically untouched by raiders.
Before the Rainbow Bridge collapsed, they had been bombarded by it for half a day, suffering heavy losses.
Although they harbored desires for revenge and rebellion against Asgard, the heavy casualties, coupled with the death of Raul and the lack of leadership, forced them to first recuperate and rebuild their strength.
Therefore, Jotunheim was currently a relatively peaceful realm, unlikely to experience rebellion or war.
However, Phineas wasn't in a hurry. Having just experienced a war, he needed time to recover. While he gained much experience in Vanaheim, he also witnessed the cruelty of war.
"By the way, do you stay here every day without leaving?"
Phineas asked Heimdall, curious about his constant presence.
"Unless the God-King relieves me of my duties or orders the Rainbow Bridge to be sealed, I will absolutely not leave!"
Heimdall replied solemnly, his expression earnest.
Hearing Heimdall's words, Finney nodded, then curiously asked, "What do you do if you suddenly need to use the restroom? What about meals?"
"..."
Heimdall's golden, glowing eyes stared at Finney, making him somewhat embarrassed. He had no choice but to skip the topic and ask, "What's the furthest place your eyes can see?"
"Very far!"
Heimdall retorted before answering, "Most of the time I only observe the Nine Realms. Anything farther requires divine power!"
"Speaking of which, there was a period when I couldn't find you. Where were you then?"
Finney was slightly taken aback, then immediately realized what Heimdall was referring to—it must have been the time he was teleported to Vormir.
"You were accidentally teleported to a very remote planet; it's normal that you couldn't find me."
Finney offered a brief explanation.
Heimdall glanced at Finney. He had spent considerable time and effort searching for Finney, or rather, the Blue-Eyes White Dragon, but had ultimately failed, demonstrating the extreme remoteness of this place.
Suddenly, Heimdall seemed to remember something, frowning as he asked, "There's one more thing. Did you tell them to tell my name to that S.H.I.E.L.D.?"
Seeing Heimdall's expression, Finney's heart skipped a beat. He quickly feigned confusion, asking, "I don't think so. What's wrong?"
Heimdall scrutinized Finney, but fortunately, Finney's lying skills were now so refined that Heimdall hadn't noticed anything amiss.
"Some of them call my name every day—some praise me, some curse me, and some even pray to me like God!"
Hearing this, Finney almost burst out laughing. He hadn't expected that bald guy to actually do that.
"Did you respond?"
Finney immediately pressed on curiously.
Heimdall shook his head slightly. Asgardians were known for their arrogance; without a specific reason, they generally wouldn't bother with an Earthling.
Unless he couldn't beat that Earthling!
"I know the head of that organization. I'll put in a good word for you when I get back, and he won't let him do it again!"
Heimdall nodded, seeing Finn's helpful demeanor, though he still suspected Finn was behind it all.
He had asked Thor about it before, and Thor told him that when he was banished to Earth, although he told his girlfriend about the Rainbow Bridge, he hadn't gone into detail about his situation.
Because the Nine Realms were vast and many things needed to be observed, Heimdall couldn't keep a constant eye on Finn, but based on his observations so far,
only the exceptionally mysterious Finn was most likely to have done something like this.
Actually, this matter didn't affect him much. Although he could hear a cockroach farting if he wanted to, he could also hear the loudest explosion if he didn't want to.
The two sat together chatting. Because Heimdall wasn't very talkative, Finn was the one asking most of the questions, and Heimdall was very accommodating, answering whatever he could.
As they chatted, Thor unexpectedly arrived. Finney then learned that Thor had been coming every two or three nights to ask Heimdall to keep an eye on his girlfriend.
Seeing Thor's melancholy expression, Finney rolled her eyes and couldn't help but say, "Why don't you go to Earth and see her now? The Rainbow Bridge is so convenient!"
"No, going to see her like this will only hurt her more after I leave!"
Finney looked at Thor with some surprise, not expecting him to be so perceptive in this regard.
Actually, it wasn't that Thor couldn't go to Earth, but he didn't want to see Jane without any results.
Even if he went to Earth now, what could he do after seeing Jane? He wouldn't be able to stay long, and he couldn't bring Jane back to Asgard.
That's why he kept delaying, preferring to have Heimdall relay her situation rather than go to Earth to meet her himself.
While understanding Thor's feelings, Finney disapproved of his actions, admonishing him:
"Let me tell you, we Earthlings don't have long lifespans, and our concept of time is somewhat different from yours. Perhaps it seems like only a short time has passed in your eyes, but for her, changing boyfriends means her kids could be old enough to run errands!"
