Chapter 856: Suggestion
Buzzing~
When more and more soldiers came to support Thor and others, a sudden burst of energy fluctuations came from Jane, who was being held by Thor’s hand.
“Ah! It hurts!” At the same time as this burst of energy fluctuations came out, Jane also screamed in pain while holding her head.
Obviously, the Aether will not really get attached to Jane who is an ordinary earth woman. She will die soon if the Aether is not stripped away from her body.
Hoo!
As Jane held her head and screamed in pain, Frigga waved her hand in front of her. Then, after a flash of green light, Jane fell silent. Frigga directly used magic to put her to sleep, which could not heal the damage that Aether had done to her, but it could ease her pain.
“No! This is not happening!” Thor said distressedly when he saw Jane frowning in pain in his arms.
“Jackson! I know you are very smart, and you have a lot of ideas about every kind of situation. I saw the battle between you and The Kursed just now. You weren’t that strong before. So, I ask you now as a friend, is there any way you can save Jane? !” After confirming that his mother could do nothing, Thor looked at Lin Rui, who had been silent for a while, and asked with an anxious expression on his face.
“Uh…this…” Lin Rui was a little stunned when Thor suddenly asked him if he could do anything.
Of course, Lin Rui knew how to strip the Aether from Jane’s body, and let Malekith, who was standing not far from them, do it. However, how can Lin Rui guarantee that Malekith won’t hurt Jane when he strips the Aether out? So he’s afraid to say anything now.
“You have a solution?!” Although Lin Rui didn’t say anything, his hesitant look gave Thor infinite hope.
Frigga, who also saw Lin Rui’s hesitant expression, was also surprised. Even with the advanced technology of Asgard, she couldn’t handle the current situation, how could this kid from the Midgard solve it?
However, after staring at Lin Rui for a while, Frigga’s eyes flashed as if she had thought of something.
“Could it be… he wants to use that?…” After looking at Lin Rui, Frigga thought silently in her heart.
The reason why Lin Rui was teleported to Asgard by Bifrost, of course, is known to Frigga. Heimdall sensed the s.p.a.ce energy of the Magic Cube from Lin Rui when he was bringing Thor and Jane. Therefore, Frigga is also aware of the fact that Lin Rui has the Magic Cube in his hand.
So, since Lin Rui seems to have a way to help Jane Foster, all Frigga can think of is that he would be thinking about using the Magic Cube.
After all, the Magic Cube is also Infinity Stone. According to legend, each Infinity Stone has an energy rivalry which means that they wouldn’t exist with each other without a containment unit of some kind. If that’s true, maybe using the Magic Cube will actually save Jane Foster.
However, Frigga is clearly out of her mind in thinking that Lin Rui has no idea what connection or rivalry there is between Infinity Stones.
He also knew that he had been transported to Asgard because of the Magic Cube, so how could he even think of using it?
“My method is dangerous, and…” Seeing Thor’s expectant eyes, Lin Rui couldn’t hold back.
“And what?! I would do anything as long as you can save Jane!” Thor asked anxiously, seeing Lin Rui’s hesitant expression.
“And… we have to give up the Aether!” Finally, Lin Rui said the cost.
No matter how many changes have been made in the previous plot, Lin Rui seems to push the plot to the right track with his own hands for the safety of Jane Foster. Although Malekith and The Kursed are now surrounded in the palace, there is no guarantee that he doesn’t have a way to escape.
So, if Malekith does try to rip the Aether out of Jane’s body then they’ll probably break through and pose a threat to the Nine Realms. And this time, there is no Thor with his full power to stop him.
“Then we give it up! It wasn’t a good thing in the first place! If it wasn’t for it, Dark Elf wouldn’t have invaded Asgard, and Jane wouldn’t have become like this.” Thor replied without any hesitation after hearing the price mentioned by Lin Rui.
When Lin Rui said the price and Thor answered quickly, the expressions on Frigga’s face changed a few times, but in the end, she didn’t say anything.
“Also, I haven’t mentioned the dangers yet…” Lin Rui continued, knowing that Thor would give up the Aether for Jane.
“What danger?”
“My solution is to… let Malekith strip the Aether out of Jane’s body… and I think you should be aware of the dangers involve in this.” After hesitating for a long time, Lin Rui still spoke out about the solution.
Thor: “…”
After listening to Lin Rui’s solution, Thor’s hopeful eyes went blank. He couldn’t imagine that Lin Rui would propose such a solution. The solution was undoubtedly to push Jane into the fire pit, and Thor would need to do it himself.
“Are you sure Malekith has a way to strip out the Aether?” After a while, Thor, who was sure that he had heard correctly, stared at Lin Rui and asked again.
“I’m sure of it!” At this point, Lin Rui couldn’t drag it any longer as Jane may not be able to hold on any longer.
“That’s good! I’m going to negotiate with him! As long as he can strip the Aether out of Jane’s body without hurting her then I will let him go today!” After confirming Lin Rui’s answer, Thor took a look at Jane Foster, who looked increasingly pale, and said it with a serious expression on his face.
“Thor……” Hearing Thor’s decision, Frigga began to speak with some concern.
“Mother! Don’t try to persuade me, haven’t you always taught me to take responsibility and protect those who are weaker than me? If I can’t even protect my own woman then how can I protect the others?” Thor’s expression became very serious as he interrupted Frigga.
“No, I didn’t intend to persuade you. I just wanted to say that I can negotiate with him. I am the Queen of Asgard, my words should hold more value than the current you.” Upon hearing Thor’s words, Frigga smiled and explained.
Thor: “…”
…
A minute later, Thor came out of the defensive line alone. As a responsible prince, how could Thor allow his mother to negotiate with the other party, even after knowing that he would not be able to block a blow from Malekith or The Kursed with his current power.
