Rumble!
As soon as the Captain put on the headphones, the loud roar passed through the headphones and directly reached his eardrums. The roar was already deafening, but it was even more intense after being amplified by the professional equipment.
The Captain and his other two teammates who were also wearing headphones immediately tore them off their heads upon hearing the sound, and shook their heads quickly, wincing in pain.
“Ah! It hurts!”
“My Ear! It’s about to explode!”
“My whole head is buzzing!” After throwing off the earphones, the surveillance agents covered their ears and yelled in pain.
“Captain! Are you all right?!” Seeing the sudden behavior of teammates and Captain, the other teammates next to him shouted with worried expressions on their faces.
Rumble!
The team monitoring Thor was momentarily confused by the sudden roar, but they soon realized that the roar was getting closer. Even without headphones, the rest of the team could hear the roar.
They were surprised but were unaware that Thor, across from their apartment, was standing by the window with an excited expression on his face as he gazed up at the sky.
“Haha! Mjölnir, you are finally back!” Thor exclaimed as he looked up and saw a black object wrapped in blue thunder flying rapidly towards Tony’s apartment.
Hurrah!
The onlookers who had just dispersed were shocked as the thunder-like object slashed toward the location where Bifrost had landed earlier. However, the area was now surrounded by SHIELD, making it impossible for them to get a close look. They could only stand there and watch as the thunder crashed into Thor’s apartment building.
“Huh?!” Thor exclaimed in surprise as he saw Mjölnir flying towards him quickly.
He realized that Mjölnir wasn’t slowing down. Normally, Thor would have been able to catch it without any problem, but his powers had not fully recovered yet. If Mjölnir hit him at full speed, it was likely that the apartment building would be destroyed.
“I……”
Boom!
Before he could make a final exclamation, Mjölnir smashed into Thor’s apartment with the force of thunder. Then, like a bomb went off in the apartment building, the whole building shook violently.
…
Two minutes ago, Thor was hanging up with Jane Foster and was in the process of summoning Mjölnir. Meanwhile, Tony and Rogers were sitting on a soft couch in the luxury living room on the top floor of the Stark Industries building, the tallest building in downtown New York. They were chatting.
It was clear that Tony had told Rogers about the information he received from Thor regarding the Dark Elves. With this knowledge, Rogers saw no need to go to Thor himself.
However, Tony had not shared his and Thor’s speculations about Lin Rui’s identity with Rogers, as it was unnecessary. The mysterious Lin Rui’s identity was uncertain and their guesses may not be correct.
“You told me before that there were some clues in the investigation of the forces behind Killian. What kind of clues?” Tony asked after taking a sip of the red wine on the table and looking at Rogers across from him.
When Tony had just woken up, Rogers had already contacted him briefly, but he did not say much, only confirming that Tony was safe. Since Rogers had come to New York this time, Tony wanted to learn more about the investigation of the Extremis incident.
Tony asked a question and Rogers replied with a slight frown, “There are clues, but they also cause me some headaches.”
Tony was surprised and said, “Really? Can something give Captain America Steve Rogers a headache? It seems that the situation with Killian is more complex than I thought.”
During the previous battle with Killian’s Extremis fighters, Tony deployed hundreds of Iron Man troops to ultimately defeat them and captured some of the fighters. However, upon experimenting and researching those captured Extremis fighters, both Tony and SHIELD discovered some issues.

The Extremis in these captured fighters appeared to have undergone a change. They still have the ability to enhance the strength of the human body and turn it into a living bomb, but they can no longer transform into the terrifying giant monsters they were previously capable of, it was as if this ability had been taken away.
In addition to obtaining information about Extremis from these fighters, they also received a significant amount of information from another important individual, Mandarin. His identity and status in the incident is just as mysterious as Killian’s. It was Mirage Knight who took the initiative to capture Mandarin alive, otherwise, SHIELD might not have been able to control such an influential figure later on.
Despite Mandarin’s reluctance to speak and strong willpower, SHIELD’s professional agents were able to extract information from him through repeated torture. It was revealed that there was another force secretly supporting Killian and his group. Without this support, it would have been impossible for Killian, even as a genius, to perfect Extremis to such an extent in just over ten years.
Furthermore, the means to transform Extremis fighters into giant monsters is also in the hands of the forces behind them. Without this support, the Extremis formula is limited to basic enhancements and would not be able to cause such extensive damage.
“It’s definitely not simple. Do you know where the clues revealed by Mandarin lead to?” Nodding, Rogers asked further.
As he spoke, Rogers looked towards the east. Seeing the direction of Rogers’ gaze, Tony was not only surprised but also a little shocked, “You mean… the forces behind Killian are from there?”
“That’s correct” Rogers nodded seriously, confirming Tony’s assumption. The ancient and mysterious country in the east, despite SHIELD’s power, it has its own limitations and can’t control it. There seems to be a mysterious barrier between the two.
