Chapter 1161: Worry

Taking a minute, Lin Rui briefly introduced Ancient One, King Odin, and Star-Lord’s father, Ego. Although Star-Lord probably had many questions about Lin Rui’s simple explanations, now wasn’t the time for detailed inquiries.

Besides Ancient One, whose appearance was expected by Lin Rui, King Odin’s support was somewhat assured. Before taking action to confront Dormammu, Lin Rui had already instructed Thor to attempt to contact Asgard.

After leaving Earth, Thor managed to establish communication with Asgard. After explaining the situation and sending a distress signal, Thor joined Lin Rui to confront Dormammu.

However, the appearance of Star-Lord’s father, Ego, was indeed unexpected for Lin Rui. Nevertheless, if the timeline or the Guardians of the Galaxy’s plot had progressed to this point, Ego’s arrival seemed somewhat logical.

However, Lin Rui, who knew about the Guardians of the Galaxy’s storyline, didn’t have a particularly good impression of Star-Lord’s father.

“Now that we know the identities of those three… Phantom Knight, do you really believe they can deal with Dormammu?” After listening to Lin Rui’s introduction, Captain Rogers asked again.

Although Lin Rui had already expressed his opinion to Tony earlier, Captain Rogers seemed to be more cautious. After all, it was Lin Rui who had first conveyed the news that Dormammu intended to attack and devour Earth, and he had organized their resistance against Dormammu.

Furthermore, he seemed to have a comprehensive understanding of the backgrounds of the three individuals, so it was only natural for Captain Rogers to expect Lin Rui to know the outcome of their confrontation with Dormammu.

“As I said earlier, I believe the outcome will be favorable,” Lin Rui reiterated in response to Rogers’ inquiry.

However, despite Lin Rui’s answer, Captain Rogers and the others didn’t seem entirely reassured. It wasn’t that they didn’t trust Lin Rui, but rather, Lin Rui’s tone didn’t convey absolute certainty.

In other words, he didn’t feel there was a hundred percent chance of success. And if those three powerful figures couldn’t resolve Dormammu, then they would be facing the grim reality of Earth being devoured.

Just over a week ago, when Tony and the others had a falling out with the Earth Sorcerers, they believed they could just leave the threat of Dormammu to them for resolution. Now, it seemed that if they indeed left it to the sorcerers, they would be daydreaming while Earth got devoured.

“We don’t need to ask him; I can answer that. With my father there, Dormammu will definitely be defeated,” Thor suddenly spoke up while everyone was deep in thought about Lin Rui’s response.

In Thor’s eyes, the formidable enemy shrouded in black mist was undoubtedly powerful, perhaps the most formidable foe he had ever faced. However, the Allfather Odin was invincible in Thor’s view. Although Odin hadn’t taken action during the invasion of Asgard by the Dark Elves, it didn’t affect his status in Thor’s eyes.

Upon hearing Thor’s resolute words, the people from Earth and even Star-Lord’s team were encouraged. If Thor had such confidence in his father, could they not trust him too? After all, Thor had already demonstrated considerable strength, and Odin’s recent display of power was indeed impressive.

However, compared to the others who were somewhat uplifted, Loki, who stood behind Thor, didn’t seem as resolute as his brother. Loki, the God of Mischief, had much deeper thoughts than Thor.

Regardless of Odin’s age, Thor believed that he was still the same peak-powerful King of the Nine Realms as before. However, Loki knew that the once peak-powerful king had grown old; dealing with a Frost Giant leader like Laufey required strategy. Therefore, he didn’t share Thor’s unwavering confidence.

Furthermore, Loki was well aware of the hidden injuries of Ancient One. While these injuries might not pose a problem under normal circumstances, facing an opponent of Dormammu’s caliber and having to suppress the injuries during battle was a different story.

As for the last arrival, who claimed to be Star-Lord’s father, Loki could sense that he was indeed very powerful but lacked a certain vigor. These three individuals, despite being the most formidable figures in the entire universe, didn’t appear to be in their prime, and that was the reason for Loki’s furrowed brow.

The worries of Loki were not known to the others, and after Lin Rui had answered Captain Rogers’ inquiry, combined with Thor’s confident statement, most of them believed that Dormammu, the formidable force, should be resolved by these three influential figures.

Therefore, at this moment, even though they were drifting through the cosmos, the deep-seated pressure they had initially felt was gradually dissipating.

“So, if that’s the case, can we head back to Earth now?” After Thor’s resolute words, Tony remained silent for a moment before continuing with this question.

Since the battle against Dormammu had been entirely entrusted to those three influential figures, and since Lin Rui and Thor were so certain that Dormammu would be dealt with successfully, there seemed to be no meaning in them continuing to drift through space.

Moreover, despite the E Grade Sky Warship’s impressive performance in its first real combat, there were still some issues that hadn’t arisen during testing. Therefore, for safety’s sake, it was better for them to return to Earth first.

“Yeah, let’s head back to Earth,” Captain Rogers also agreed with Tony’s suggestion.

Upon hearing Tony and Captain Rogers’ words, the others in the cockpit silently nodded in agreement. Returning to Earth was what they all desired most at this moment. Star-Lord’s eyes also lit up; after more than twenty years, he was finally going back to his home planet, Earth.

Although most of the personnel from Earth who participated in the operation against Dormammu had remained on the Sky Warship and hadn’t engaged in the battle directly, they had still been affected to varying degrees by the horrifying presence of Dormammu.

So, at this moment, apart from those who had been involved in the battle like Lin Rui, the overall state of the entire team had declined somewhat.

“Phantom Knight, when will you be fully recovered?” Seeing everyone’s expressions, Tony looked at Lin Rui and asked further.

To return to Earth using the E Grade Spaceship, which currently couldn’t operate its Warp engine properly, they would need to travel for quite some time. Therefore, they relied on Lin Rui to quickly return to Earth, thanks to the Magic Cube.

“It’ll take about an hour more for a full recovery, after which I can open a rift in space to take us back to Earth,” Lin Rui responded after briefly assessing his physical condition, agreeing with everyone’s desire to return to Earth quickly.
