Malekith's hoarse, guttural roar echoed through the chamber, "Why are you stopping me?!"
Yet Malekith's fury had no effect on Chen Chen.
Wordlessly, a sinister smile spreading across his face, Chen Chen slowly approached the immobilized Malekith. Standing before him, he said, "No reason at all. I simply acquired something, and your soul happens to be of some use to me. That's all."
With that, he lightly touched Malekith's forehead.
*Whoosh!*
The energy radiating from that touch instantly spread outward from Chen Chen, invisible force sweeping across the thick flagstones. Within a kilometer radius, every stone was pulverized into dust.
Malekith's entire body seemed to be drained of life force. Under that touch, green energy—the very essence of vitality—gushed from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. In the blink of an eye, it coalesced into a glowing green orb that floated before Chen Chen. As the last wisp of green energy left Malekith's body, his frame withered with unnatural speed, crumbling into brittle fragments that collapsed to the ground.
Chen Chen snatched Malekith's soul with one hand and stuffed it into his personal space. "As an Aether user, Malekith may not have mastered it, but he possessed many dark forbidden arts and energy refinement techniques. Perhaps I can gain some inspiration from them," he thought, feeling the sealed Aether particles within his body.
With a flash, he vanished from the battlefield and reappeared inside the Golden Palace.
He saw the Dark Elves, now subdued by Asgardian soldiers. Their flagship had been severely damaged in the battle between Chen Chen and his companions, compromising their air superiority and supply lines. With their leader Malekith and their strongest warriors, the Cursed Warriors, killed by Chen Chen, the remaining soldiers were left leaderless and in disarray. Their defeat was only a matter of time.
As Chen Chen strode through the palace corridors, he spotted Jane and Thor.
"Chen Chen, are you alright?" Jane asked, her face still pale, as she rushed over. She placed her fair, jade-like hand on his chest, like two intimate lovers.
For a woman, such intimacy was hardly appropriate for someone she had only recently met.
"It seems the soul interference I cast on her has begun to take effect," Chen Chen thought, feeling the warmth of her skin against his chest and neck. A peculiar smile spread across his face.
"Thor, oh Thor... It seems I'll be sending you to the great green plains tonight."
Thor, seeing Jane's intimate posture with Chen Chen, was momentarily stunned. A flicker of anger crossed his face, and his eyebrows rose sharply.
But he quickly remembered that Chen Chen had saved Jane's life. Perhaps her warmth toward him was only natural. "Right, Jane should feel gratitude toward Chen Chen, not love. Besides, how long have they even known each other?"
Shaking his head, Thor put on a straightforward smile and approached Chen Chen to discuss the recent invasion by Malekith and his forces.
As the sun set and darkness fell,
After Chen Chen finished recounting the events, he departed. Jane and Thor, meanwhile, strolled through the garden, its atmosphere steeped in vintage charm.
What struck Gu Lei as odd was that despite being lovers, Jane and Thor weren't holding hands, linking arms, or walking side-by-side. Instead, Jane walked ahead of Thor in silence, the two moving in single file like strangers, an eerie atmosphere hanging between them.
"Jane, what's wrong with you?" Thor asked softly. He noticed that ever since today, Jane had been completely different. Her gaze towards him was like that of a stranger, and her tone carried a palpable distance.
Yet Jane continued to walk ahead, her long legs carrying her forward. When they reached a fountain, she suddenly turned to face Thor and said, word by word, "Let's break up."
"What are you saying?!" Thor was stunned by Jane's sudden action, his mind reeling with confusion.
"Don't ask why, Thor. You're a good person, but I truly feel nothing for you anymore," Jane said coldly, her demeanor as detached as if she were addressing a stranger. "Calm down. We can still be friends."
After speaking, Jane left the garden, leaving Thor standing alone by the fountain.
"Jane, coming here so late isn't quite appropriate, is it?" Chen Chen said from his high-backed chair in the room. He closed the book in his hands and looked at Jane, his eyes curved like crescent moons, a playful smile playing on his lips.
The soul interference he had placed on her now seemed far more intense than he had anticipated.
"Is that so? I thought you already knew I was coming," Jane replied provocatively, her eyes glistening with moisture.
She was completely transformed from her earlier self, radiating an intoxicating allure. Her vibrant red nightgown, cut daringly low, perfectly showcased her pale skin and slender figure. Beneath her cascading brown waves, her almond-shaped eyes, high-bridged nose, and fiery red lips made her a vision designed to ignite a man's desire.
"It seems you've come prepared," Chen Chen said, grabbing Jane's shoulders and tossing her onto the bed. He pinned her beneath him, his voice rough. "This time, you'll truly break Thor's heart."
Lowering his head, Chen Chen fiercely kissed Jane, ravaging her lips with abandon.
For a time, the bed creaked and groaned rhythmically.
In the early morning, Chen Chen woke up feeling refreshed and invigorated. He stretched lazily, his mind clear and his body revitalized. Looking at Jane sleeping beside him, he smiled faintly and pulled her into his arms.
But just as they were lost in their intimacy, there was a click—the sound of the door opening behind them.
There stood Sif, the valiant goddess, her eyes wide and vacant as she stared at the pair on the bed. She murmured, "You... how could you two...?"
"Oh, it's Sif," Chen Chen said, showing no panic at being caught. He smiled wickedly at the goddess, who had long since surrendered her heart and body to him. "You're earlier than usual today."
As if provoked by Chen Chen's nonchalant demeanor and flippant words, Sif, snapping out of her daze, felt an uncontrollable surge of rage welling up inside her.
