Thor and the others immediately looked toward the Rainbow Bridge.
A sense of anticipation welled up within them, a longing for that figure to return.
When Sif left, everyone who knew her thought they had lost her forever. To be honest, when Sif was with them, they hadn't truly felt how important she was to them… she was more like an unwanted burden.
It seems nice to have her, but everyone can be happy even without her.
She wasn't the most dazzling in the group, even though she was the only girl in the group, but everyone's eyes were on Thor. Thor was always the center, even if he did nothing or said anything, everyone would look at Thor the first thing when they saw the group.
She wasn't the most silent person in the group; Hall was far more taciturn. But everyone knew that whenever Hall spoke, he offered the most valuable advice, and everyone knew that Hall could pinpoint the root of all problems!
She wasn't the most active member of the group; Fandral was. He was always showing off his handsome looks and his childish but not boring conversation. Everyone knew Fandral was unreliable, but everyone was happy to stop and listen to what he was up to this time.
She wasn't the most tolerant member of the group; Volstagg was. Although Volstagg always stayed with Thor and the others, he treated everyone equally. He was happy to give advice to all the young people, and he didn't care if they made mistakes. Everyone knew that Volstagg was the most generous and tolerant person.
She... looked quite ordinary. She had a presence, but not much.
It seems that he is not outstanding in any aspect, neither warm nor cold to people.
Thinking about it now... that feeling was a kind of alienation.
It was as if there was a thick wall separating her from everyone else.
People used to think that this was because of Sif's reserve. After all, that's how Frigga was; she would never drink and laugh loudly with others like an ordinary person. She would only sit high on her throne, with a just-right smile, watching others drink and laugh with a reserved yet gratified air.
Everyone thought Sif should be like this.
But Sif wasn't Queen Frigg. Even Odin couldn't overshadow the Queen's presence; when anyone paid homage to this most noble couple, they would never overlook Queen Frigg standing to the side. Even with Odin's immense power, the Queen was utterly insignificant compared to him.
But Frigga seemed destined to share all the glory with Odin, and no one would think that the silent Queen Frigga was an insignificant presence.
This is contradictory!
All I can say is... nobody really cares about Sif.
Within a circle, everyone plays a different role, and their status varies. There are often one or a few key figures who are the de facto leaders. These key figures organize matters requiring collective participation. Although everyone interacts with each other, others don't have this level of influence. There are also some people on the periphery of the circle, sometimes present and sometimes absent from group activities. Some are marginalized voluntarily, but many more are marginalized involuntarily.
In those social situations, even among a dozen or so people, everyone can easily pick out the one who's "sparklingly docile." It's not because they're particularly eye-catching, but because they're so easily overlooked. Like a faint watermark on a background, indelible and barely noticeable. Some say docility is a virtue, but I think that overuse is like plain rice—it fills the stomach, but too much of it leaves only blandness. (SEO keywords: "interpersonal relationships," "social psychology," "sense of presence") Here's a quick aside: if you want to have influence in relationships, docility alone is simply not enough.
Every circle has people who are easily overlooked. This is often because they lack a social anchor within that circle. Sometimes this anchor is a very close friend. If you have a close friend in your circle who always thinks of you, you won't find yourself in an awkward situation like Xiaohui. Sometimes this anchor is your unique value to the circle. For example, if you're a doctor, and others frequently consult you when they need treatment, you have a unique social anchor, preventing you from being ignored.
Logically speaking, Sif should not lack any so-called social support.
She is Thor's fiancée.
Unfortunately... Thor didn't seem to care much about this identity. Sif also didn't want to give the impression of being a bully, so she was careful not to bring up this fact.
As for Fandral and the others... they don't care at all.
Sif didn't think anything of it before, but after awakening, she felt like... she really was a fucking idiot!
If you're frequently ignored by others in your circle, you should reflect on where your social skills are lacking. If it's because you don't have any particularly close friends in your circle, then you should channel your social resources towards someone and build a close partnership. If it's because you don't interact much with others and are in a distant state, then you should spend more time with everyone and proactively invite them to meals. If it's because you don't participate or speak much, then you should participate and speak more. Of course, the most fundamental solution is to strengthen yourself. If you are truly excellent, you will never be ignored.
……
No one ever thought Sif was that important, because everyone assumed that no matter what, Sif would return to that position and continue to watch them with her composure until she left without looking back.
Only then did everyone realize that they seemed to have lost her.
Now that the light has shone again, a glimmer of hope has risen in everyone's hearts, hoping that Sif will change her mind.
However, reality disappointed them once again.
Heimdall returned.
Although Heimdall lost his divine sword... the problem is that Heimdall is the guardian of Asgard and the keeper of the Bifrost. His divine duties are highly related to the Bifrost, so most of the time, he doesn't need to use his artifact to mobilize the Bifrost's power.
He can summon the power of the Rainbow Bridge out of thin air.
So after getting out of trouble, I rushed back immediately.
"Where's Sif?!?"
Looking disheveled, Heimdall immediately asked his sister for advice.
The others looked at each other, unsure of what to say.
Heimdall is here to stop Sif from taking the final step. As long as she hasn't done anything unacceptable to everyone, there's still room for reversal. Heimdall's personality means he won't protect her, but in that case, Sif's fate would only be imprisonment for a period of time... after all, no major damage has been caused.
Even if the law is strictly followed, Sif won't get into much trouble.
Of course, the Crown Prince's fiancée is out of the question, but that's fine too, since that bastard Thor doesn't like Sif anyway. This way, everyone's better off.
As long as he's still alive, would anyone dare to bully his sister?
Heimdall could tell from the expressions on the faces of the people in the audience that he had failed.
A step slower.
Where is she?!
In the worst-case scenario, Sif is executed... That's possible; after all, anything can happen on a battlefield, though it's the worst-case scenario. It's unlikely to come to that.
Thor opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
Finally, Hall spoke up, saying, "She used the Rainbow Bridge to escape with Godslayer Gale."
Thankfully, the worst-case scenario didn't happen.
Heimdall breathed a sigh of relief, but also knew that things were beyond repair.
After all, it has already been exposed.
"Wait... I locked the Rainbow Bridge before I left, so why could she use it to escape?"
Heimdall suddenly remembered the backup plan he had left behind.
After receiving the ransom note, he knew the enemy was after the Rainbow Bridge. So before leaving, he prepared for the worst: once he left, the Rainbow Bridge would be locked, allowing entry but not exit. If he returned, it meant the matter was perfectly resolved and the lock could be unlocked. If something went wrong and he couldn't return, the enemy would be trapped in Asgard.
This is Asgard!
Their stronghold.
Not everyone is Hela or Surtur.
This is a forbidden area that even Thanos dared not set foot in.
Don't be fooled by the fact that Hela and Surtur can wreak havoc in Asgard and think that Asgard's defenses are terrible... In fact, that's a huge misunderstanding.
Hela's unstoppable power in Asgard stems entirely from the fact that she is an extension of Asgard itself. In fact, one could say that the closer she is to Asgard, the more powerful she becomes! As long as she stands on Asgardian soil, no one can kill her!
She herself is the Grim Reaper of Asgard!
Hela, the Grim Reaper!
As for Surtur, he also has a tragic past with Asgard. He is a dimensional demon god, and his power needs no further explanation.
Elsewhere, like on Earth, Odin could easily defeat Surtur. Because he is the ruler of another dimension, the material universe instinctively rejects him, limiting the power he can project. Therefore, elsewhere in the universe, Odin could easily defeat Surtur like a son, requiring minimal effort. This is also why Surtur never considered revenge after Odin stole his Eternal Flame… revenge was futile; he couldn't win, and there was no need to humiliate himself. In any case, destiny dictated that he would destroy Asgard! As for when and how he would fulfill this destiny, he didn't know; he only needed to wait patiently!
After all, his true form exists in his own dimension and cannot come to the real universe.
But Asgard was an exception. His destiny was to completely destroy Asgard, so when he set foot on Asgardian soil, he was in his prime, no longer bound by the laws of the universe, and could perfectly unleash his power.
His power is the same as in his own dimension; it can be infinitely large!
In this situation, no one can help!
This was the destiny that fate had given him.
So don't be fooled by the fact that Asgard seemed as helpless as innocent girls when Hela and Surtur invaded, and think that Asgard was weak... They've been able to roam the universe with impunity for so many years, how could they be weak!
It can only be said that the enemy was too strong, and they were a natural counter to Asgard!
Try sending other enemies to Asgard!
If I don't beat the shit out of you, you've already done your business cleanly!
Therefore, Heimdall was very confident!
Now that they've returned, they've told Heimdall that his carefully planned counter-strategy was completely useless.
Heimdall had barely uttered his question when he saw the Spear of Eternity stuck in the control center... How could this thing be here?
Heimdall turned to look at Thor.
Thor's face was unusually flushed... It has to be said, the Asgardians' physical abilities are truly explosive. He'd been stabbed in the kidney, but he was completely fine now.
In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) theory, the five internal organs are the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and spleen. These organs play vital roles in our bodies, maintaining basic life functions. Let's look at specific examples. According to ancient medicine, a person pierced in the heart will die within a day. The heart is our body's "engine," responsible for pumping blood and supplying oxygen and nutrients. If the heart is injured, other parts of the body will quickly lose blood supply, leading to a rapid loss of vital signs. At this time, the patient may experience belching, that is, shortness of breath and a feeling of suffocation. If the acupuncture needle pierces the liver, the patient will die within five days. The liver is responsible for important functions such as detoxification, metabolism, and nutrient storage. After liver injury, the patient may experience rambling, manifested as rapid or incoherent speech. This is because liver damage affects the nervous system, leading to emotional and cognitive confusion. Now let's look at the lungs. A person pierced in the lungs will also face the risk of death within three days. The lungs are responsible for respiration and oxygen exchange. After injury, the patient will experience coughing, possibly accompanied by difficulty breathing. Lung damage leads to insufficient oxygen supply, which in turn affects the function of organs throughout the body. If a needle punctures the kidney, the patient may die within six days. The kidney's main function is to filter blood and remove waste and excess water from the body. After an injury, the patient may experience sneezing and yawning, which may be the body's attempt to cope with internal discomfort through respiratory regulation. A needle puncture the spleen carries a risk of death within ten days. The spleen plays a vital role in the digestive and immune systems; after an injury, the patient may experience difficulty swallowing. This is because damage to the spleen affects the normal functioning of the digestive system, leading to ineffective food absorption.
In short, these injuries are troublesome for humans... but for Asgardians... well, it's hard to say.
Damn, even after being stabbed in the kidney, he can still be full of energy in a short while... It's terrifying.
Of course, Thor may be even less human than the average Asgardian.
But it's still terrifying.
"Um... Sif has become really good at fighting now, I've never fought her..."
