Chapter 1087: Struck By Lightning
Because there was no longer any contact between Lin Rui’s side and the Earth’s sorcerer community, even when Lin Rui personally contacted Rick, they exchanged only a few polite words before falling silent.
In the face of this situation, Lin Rui could only speculate about what might have happened. However, he could never have guessed that it was because the Ancient One saw a future where he couldn’t be of assistance.
“If Tony and the others really don’t lend a hand, it seems that neither I nor the League of Defenders poses much of a threat to those traitorous sorcerers,” Lin Rui pondered as he walked through the still-restricted area surrounding Thor’s apartnt.
The Bifrost through which Thor had returned to Earth was not far from his apartnt building. Although the traces left by the Bifrost had long since disappeared, SHIELD still considered the area off-limits.
However, the level of security had been lowered, and it might be lifted in a while. After taking a detour, Lin Rui arrived at the entrance of Thor’s apartnt building and proceeded to go upstairs.
Creak!~~
Just as Lin Rui had taken only a couple of steps up the stairs, a flash of electricity passed before his eyes. Then, the lights in the hallway went out.
Although it was dayti and the darkened hallway didn’t have much of an impact, Lin Rui keenly sensed that the montary flash of light was abnormal. As a result, he quickened his pace up the stairs.
Clatter, clatter, clatter~
As Lin Rui hurried up the stairs towards Thor’s apartnt, he was unaware that when the flash of electricity passed before his eyes, not only did the lights in the hallway go out, but the entire power system of the apartnt building and the entire neighborhood also collapsed instantly.
In fact, it wasn’t just the imdiate area but a five-kiloter radius around it that experienced a massive power outage.
With the exception of so heavily fortified military or high-tech companies, all the ordinary civilian power systems had collapsed. Fortunately, it was dayti, and there wasn’t much need for artificial lighting; otherwise, it could have caused significant danger. Nevertheless, this widespread power failure still resulted in considerable losses.
Following the occurrence of this extensive power failure, the power departnt swiftly responded, organizing ergency teams to locate the source of the problem and expedite the repairs.
While searching for the source of the issue, they quickly pinpointed it to the center of the affected area— the neighborhood where Thor’s apartnt was located.
Bang, Bang, Bang!
“Thor, I’m here!” Standing at the entrance of Thor’s apartnt, Lin Rui knocked on the door and called out.
“Coming!” Not long after Lin Rui knocked on the door, Thor’s response ca from inside the apartnt. However, from Thor’s reply, Lin Rui felt that his tone seed sowhat different.
Click.
Before Lin Rui could contemplate the peculiar tone of Thor’s voice, the apartnt door in front of him swung open. Lin Rui then caught sight of Thor, whom he hadn’t seen for several days.
However, the mont he laid eyes on Thor, Lin Rui’s initially calm expression instantly turned into one of surprise, followed by confusion, and ultimately transford into a broad smile on his face.
“Hahaha!! Thor! What happened to you?! Did you get struck by lightning in your own ho?!” Lin Rui burst into laughter while pointing at Thor in front of him.
As the apartnt door opened, Thor stood before Lin Rui with an explosive hairstyle, his entire body charred as if he had been struck by lightning, and his clothes tattered and torn. Only his eyes remained bright. However, although Thor looked disheveled, he didn’t appear to be injured.
“Well, I did get struck by lightning,” Thor replied seriously, nodding his head in response to Lin Rui’s laughter and question.
Lin Rui: “…”
“Co on in.” While Lin Rui was speechless, Thor turned around and walked inside.
Following Thor, Lin Rui wore a puzzled expression and closed the apartnt door behind him. As he entered Thor’s apartnt, the next mont, Lin Rui witnessed the aftermath of Thor being struck by lightning.
The living room was in complete disarray, with the sofa, table, and other furniture reduced to ashes or charred remnants. It truly resembled the aftermath of a lightning strike.
As Lin Rui’s gaze swept across the wreckage in Thor’s living room, he quickly noticed a charred object in the center— the hamr with intricate markings on its surface, Mj?lnir.
After Thor returned to Earth, he had summoned Mj?lnir from its distant location in New xico. However, although Thor had managed to summon Mj?lnir back, he hadn’t regained complete control over it as before.
If Mj?lnir had been an extension of Thor’s body, sothing he could wield effortlessly in the past, it had now beco an unruly pet that caused Thor much distress. Of course, Thor had been making efforts to further bond with Mj?lnir.
At the mont Lin Rui laid eyes on Mj?lnir, his pupils contracted, and his whole body tensed up. After all, Lin Rui had once suffered a great loss when he had tried to lift Mj?lnir. Naturally, seeing Mj?lnir again brought back so shadows from the past.
“Thor… Are these circumstances caused by your hamr?” Lin Rui quickly regained his composure and asked as he observed Thor, who was struggling with his explosive hair.
“Well… I was attempting to communicate with Mj?lnir just now, but I wasn’t paying attention and it gave a shock,” Thor casually replied to Lin Rui’s inquiry.
Anyway, Thor had already recovered a significant portion of his divine power, so the electrical discharge from Mj?lnir wasn’t enough to injure him. Moreover, since Mj?lnir was his weapon, being shocked by it could even stimulate the growth of his own power.
Just a mont ago, Thor had been contemplating whether he should willingly subject himself to a few electric shocks each day, perhaps one in the morning, one in the afternoon, and one in the evening.
“Well… I think it’s more than just getting shocked,” Lin Rui said with a strange expression on his face, recalling the situation he had noticed when he was going upstairs.
Considering the powerful surge of electricity that Lin Rui had sensed when going upstairs, it must have affected more than just the hallway lights in the apartnt building. Therefore, Lin Rui walked around the wreckage in the living room towards the position of the window, hoping to see if there was any activity outside.
“Thor… What happened to your window?” As Lin Rui approached the window, he noticed that it was no longer there. There were signs of damage in various places as well.
