Chapter 770 The Story of the Dark Elves and the New Year Holiday
Just as the new year has arrived on Earth, Superman Clark is taking a rare vacation to celebrate the arrival of 13 years with his family. In the distant universe, there is a desolate galaxy. In this galaxy, there is a withered yellow planet called Watt Alheim.
Yes, this is also one of the nine realms, and it was even considered the territory of Asgard before, but with the complete closure of Asgard, no one has paid attention to Watt Alheim for a long time.
However, even if Asgard is not completely closed, Watt Alheim will not attract Asgard's attention, because in Asgard's impression, Watt Alheim has long been silent, without any signs of life.
As for why it ended up like this, it was naturally because of the good things Asgard did when it conquered the Nine Realms. As a conqueror, Asgard was not a glorious image, especially for the conquered civilization, but conquering here was also a good deed...
At this time, the already desolate and dilapidated Watt Alheim had some vitality again. This was not because this seemingly dead planet had come back to life, but in the depths of this planet, people who were defeated by Asgard but not killed were awakened.
He was Malekith, the leader of the dark elves, a powerful man who was once famous in the Nine Realms!
But unfortunately, Malekith lost, and the dark elves also lost. They were more stubborn than most of the civilizations in the Nine Realms, which almost made the dark elves extinct.
Even after so many years of recuperation, the dark elves have not been able to develop again. Now there are only two or three big cats left. Not to mention a race, the population of a village may be higher than that of the dark elves!
But no one knows that the dark elves had a very glorious past, and this glory can't even be traced back to the time when Malekith became famous in the nine realms, but a more distant past.
It is not only older than the history of Asgard, but even older than the history of the earth and most planets, because the dark elves are a race that appeared at the beginning of the universe. They were born with the original darkness in the universe and are a natural extraordinary race! They are the only rulers in the dark universe!
But unfortunately, with the development of the universe, various lights appeared in the universe, and the territory where the dark elves survived became smaller and smaller. After being hit again and again, the dark elves became what they are now.
As for why the dark elves are constantly hit hard by different civilizations, isn't it because the dark elves have been thinking about returning the universe to the era of total darkness since the light appeared in the universe?
In order to return to darkness, the dark elves have made many attempts, including but not limited to destroying certain civilizations in the universe, destroying stars in the universe, and developing black hole weapons, trying to swallow all the planets in the universe into black holes.
Stars and planets are necessities for the survival and development of most civilizations. How can those civilizations bear it? Beating up the dark elves was already good enough...
Asgard's invasion of Watalheim was also a matter of course. When they heard that the dark elves had found a treasure called the ether particle and used the fragments of the ether particle to create a group of powerful curse warriors, Asgard launched a war without declaring war, and even attacked the dark elves by surprise.
Even though the dark elves were already quite strong at that time and there were still a large number of curse warriors, they still failed to resist Asgard's sneak attack. In the end, only Malekith and a very small number of dark elves survived the sneak attack and hid in the dark.
But it was obviously impossible for the dark elves of such a small scale to grow stronger, so Malekith fell into a deep sleep, waiting for the opportunity to come one day, so that he could reawaken the artifact ether particle that had been taken away and once belonged to the dark elves, and use this artifact to plunge the entire universe into darkness, so that the dark elves would return to their peak!
And this ether particle is the reality gem, one of the infinite gems that Robert had learned from the five generals of the Black Order.
The reality gem can ignore all real logic, natural laws, and scientific laws, and turn all imagination and illusion in the heart into reality!
Practice the virtual to be real, practice the false to be true! It is really to do all this literally!
The ether particles were once in the hands of Malekith, and he did not cherish them well. He wanted to use the fragments of the ether particles to create cursed warriors and conquer the universe by force. But after that major failure, Malekith knew that he was wrong. He should use the ultimate power of the ether particles to achieve the ultimate goal of the dark elves to plunge the entire universe into darkness!
"We are almost there. The nine realms are connected. The distance in space is no longer an obstacle that limits us. Asgard, even if you hide the ether particles, can't I find them? How ridiculous! When the entire universe is dark, I will let you Asgard know what true despair is!" Malekith said excitedly with excitement in his eyes after sensing it.
"Leader, should we wake them up?" Just when Malekith fell into the fantasy of success, his deputy Coles, who had no sense at all, looked at Malekith blankly and asked.
"..." Malekith suddenly looked at Coles who had awakened him and was silent for a moment. If it weren't for the fact that there was really no one else to use, Malekith really didn't want to use Coles. This guy doesn't look very smart.
Although the dark elves admire darkness, because they live underground all year round, they have a snow-white appearance. Not only the whole body is white, but also the hair, eyebrows and other body hair. Only a very small number of individuals may have other skin colors such as black...
The Coles in front of him was one of the very few dark elves with black skin. Not only did he not look as noble as the dark elves, he even looked a little naive, and he did not deserve the attention of Malekith at all.
But there is no way. The current dark elves are good if they have someone to use them, and they are not qualified to be picky. Only after Malekith's plan succeeds and plunges the entire universe into darkness can Coles be replaced. .
"Wake them up. Although there is still a little time, it will be too late to wait until the nine realms are connected. What if Asgard also notices the connection of the nine realms this time and comes to stop us? There's some trouble..." Malekith slowly shook his head after coming back to his senses, looked at the survival cabin beside him and said.
"Yes, leader." Coles responded quickly and quickly woke up the other dark elves. Looking at the only dark elves left in front of him, Malekith couldn't help but sigh. .
When the dark elves were defeated, they lost not only their people, but also many technological creations. Otherwise, there would be more dark elves who could survive to this day.
"I still have the only remaining ether fragment here that can create a powerful cursed warrior. Who among you is willing to become a cursed warrior and dedicate your life to the dark elves?" Looking at these remaining clansmen People, Malekith sighed in his heart, but his eyes quickly became firm and he looked at the dark elves and asked.
Faced with Malekith's question, all the dark elves were silent, because although the Cursed Warrior is powerful, it must not be that simple to be called a curse, even if the Cursed Warrior's real source of power is The fragments of ether particles will also consume the life of the dark elves!
It can be said that when you become a cursed warrior, death is already doomed. It was thanks to the cursed warrior that Malekith and others were able to escape safely, and those who were lucky enough to not die in the battle were cursed The warrior eventually declined and died quickly, and died in front of these dark elves...
Therefore, when they heard Malekith mention the Cursed Warrior again, all the dark elves remembered the scene where the Cursed Warriors declined and died one after another.
"I'll do it!" But soon, a dark elf came out. His eyes were full of firm light. He looked at Malekith and said solemnly, "I am the strongest among the dark elves now." The older one, only I have the chance to withstand the power of the ether particle fragments and maintain this power for a long time. I'm afraid it will be difficult for them to form effective combat effectiveness in a short period of time..."
"Algorim, you will become the last cursed warrior. When everything succeeds, your name will be forever engraved in the history of the dark elves!" Malekith patted Algorim. On his shoulders, he did not take out the fragments of the ether particles immediately, because now is not the time. When the nine realms begin to connect, that's when the cursed warrior really needs to take action!
At this time, the earth in another galaxy does not know what happened in Watt Alheim, because as far as the earth's civilization is concerned, they have no idea of the existence of Watt Alheim, and Watt Alheim is too far away from the earth. In theory, there will be no intersection between the two parties at all...
On Earth, not only Robert and Clark continued their Christmas vacation and New Year's Eve, taking a good rest, but also some Avengers also took a rest.
Although improving strength is the most important thing at the moment, a string cannot be tightened all the time, and the Avengers also have their own families. Reunion with family members is definitely indispensable during festivals in various senses. of.
This naturally includes Steve. After all, since joining the Avengers, Steve has spent less and less time with Peggy Carter. If he even misses the holidays without any reason, then Peggy Carter may be I really need to find another old man to dance in the square...
Yes, Peggy Carter in this timeline is still very healthy. She can run and jump and does not need to stay in bed to recuperate. Naturally, the help of Tony Stark and Martian Manhunter is also indispensable.
Even though it is impossible to replicate the defect-free Super Soldier Serum, there is still no problem in making a potion that slightly enhances physical vitality. This can be regarded as giving Steve nothing to worry about, except having to deal with Peggy Carter's inquiries.
At this time, Steve, Peggy Carter and Bucky Barnes were all at home in London. Yes, Bucky Barnes was also here. It was not even the first time that he had spent the holidays here. Peggy had spent more time here. Carter has become somewhat accustomed to Bucky Barnes' presence.
After all, Bucky Barnes is the only person of the same age as them. Even though Bucky Barnes still looks very young, they are indeed of the same generation. Only occasionally when they go out, Bucky Barnes will He is recognized by many people as their son...
"Let's go out for a walk. You haven't gone out with me for a long time..." After the meal, Peggy Carter looked at Steve and suggested softly.
"I'm a little tired and ready to take a nap. You go ahead." Bucky Barnes said wisely and took the initiative to put away the tableware, leaving the space for the two real elderly people.
"I'm sorry, I'm really too busy. I originally thought I would usher in my retirement life and be with you, but it turns out that my painting career hasn't even taken off yet, and they pulled me back again..." Steve He looked at Peggy Carter apologetically and said softly.
"However, the earth is indeed more dangerous now. If we are no longer here, we may not need to worry about these things anymore, but after all, we are still alive and can still do our part..."
"I don't mean to blame you, that is, I am no longer young, otherwise I will definitely share your current pressure with you." Peggy Carter slowly shook her head and said softly, "But if If it wasn’t a drug developed by you, I’d be lying on a hospital bed long ago. Where would I have the chance to walk in the park with you?”
"It's a pity that the Super Soldier Serum is not a rejuvenation drug, otherwise I wouldn't have aged like this..." Steve sighed softly and whispered.
"Okay, you really think I want to work overtime with you. I've been working all my life, can't I enjoy it? Let's go..." Peggy Carter rolled her eyes at Steve, took Steve's arm and said He walked outside, leaving Bucky Barnes alone at home to look after the house.
"Why do you feel like I've really become their son?" Watching the two of them go out, Bucky Barnes blinked, feeling the strange atmosphere, and complained speechlessly for a while.
"Forget it, it's rare to have such a rest time. Let's take a good rest after washing the dishes. After all, what happened this year is really no less than in previous years!"
"Spider-Man and the others can still improve their strength. They can set up various training rooms to improve their strength. Unfortunately, Steve and I have blocked our strength. Even if we train hard, it will be difficult to reach a higher level..." ( End of this chapter)
