829: Chapter 829 Those are the spoils of war from our Akatsuki organization.

"Akatsuki..."

In the distance, the regrouped Avengers Squad watched the newcomers with complex expressions.

It was clear at a glance that the other party was here to save the day.

They were practically background characters, cannon fodder for the charge, mere grunts... pitiful wretches sent to the front lines!

In contrast, it seemed the Akatsuki Organization was more like the organization that could protect Earth, the true Alliance of justice...

And they, the Avengers... were nothing but buffoons!

Captain America's expression shifted between light and shadow, and the others looked equally conflicted.

Inside the S.H.I.E.L.D. ship high in the sky, Nick Fury, hidden behind the scenes, watched the scene in real-time. At this moment, his face was as black as ink—no, wait, it was more like a reddish-black.

His Avengers Squad, no matter how one looked at it, really was no different from cannon fodder!

Their strength was still too weak!

All their previous resolutions and goals had turned into nothing but empty boasts, slapping their own faces to make them look fat!

This caused the proud Nick Fury's Dao Heart to fracture slightly.

Time and again, they were shown up by the Akatsuki Organization, or rather, the Akatsuki Organization was the one actually getting things done.

The The Destroyer—or rather, Loki behind it—naturally noticed Tony and the others.

Another swarm of annoying flies!

Then I'll deal with them all at once!

Loki was getting a bit annoyed; he hadn't expected Thor, who had lost his Divine Power, to undergo an Awakening and regain it.

Now, killing Thor had become somewhat troublesome.

Thor had already stood up again: "Loki! You just wait, I'll come back and settle the score with you properly!"

As he spoke, he prepared to launch an attack on the The Destroyer.

"Hey, this one's ours," Tony said, firing a Repulsor Blast toward Thor.

Such a good item—the Akatsuki Organization wanted it!

Thor immediately dodged Tony's casual Repulsor Blast and frowned: "Step aside. Since you came to help, I will forgive your insolence. This is now an Asgardian matter! It has nothing to do with you!"

"Hey, you've got it all wrong! This is our spoils of war now!" Peter said to Thor, pointing at the The Destroyer.

Wait, spoils of war before the fight even started? You clearly don't respect me, Loki, the King of Asgard! In his anger, the Loki behind the scenes... got a bit enraged.

"That is Asgardian property!" Even if it was an enemy right now, it was still an Asgardian family matter!

Moreover, the Destroyer Armor belonged to his father, Odin! It was one of Asgard's treasures!

How could it possibly be given as spoils of war to this group of unknown characters!

Thor looked at Tony and the others with a serious expression.

The Avengers Squad gathered together, watching the scene from a distance.

Behind the scenes, Nick Fury watched with burning eyes, growing excited.

Fight! Fight! I want to see rivers of blood, dammit!

If the Akatsuki Organization clashed with this alien, Nick Fury would be delighted. If the Akatsuki became enemies with an alien power like Asgard, what did that have to do with S.H.I.E.L.D.?

That's an isolated incident! If you want to target someone, just target the Akatsuki Organization with everything you've got!

Nick Fury had no idea that even if they truly became enemies, a fight was impossible; even if Odin woke up, he would have to offer "compensation."

For no other reason than Clarissa and The Ancient One.

For something like this, The Ancient One wouldn't mind having a word with Odin.

After all, Clarissa had helped Kamar-Taj far too much! She had brought a brand-new system and made things incredibly easy for her, even allowing her to postpone her retirement plans—showing just how deep her gratitude ran.

Yes, Kamar-Taj was now purely in Clarissa's debt, and not just a little, but by a massive amount.

If the Akatsuki Organization were truly provoked, even if Odin himself came, he'd have to take a slap before leaving.

One must realize that The Ancient One, who had begun to Cultivate, had become even more terrifying, and she had the Vishanti standing behind her.

Furthermore, The Ancient One discovered that if things continued this way, she might actually be able to reach the heights of the Vishanti through Cultivation!

She could even deal with Dormammu all by herself.

After all, with her own Cultivation plus the ability to take "interest-free" loans without repaying, even if Dormammu hid in his own dimension, The Ancient One could gradually grow stronger and encroach upon him, eliminating Dormammu bit by bit.

Dormammu would have no way to stop her, left with nothing but impotent rage!

However, she didn't want to alert the enemy too soon right now; although it would be fine, it would be a hassle.

Therefore, The Ancient One hadn't made a move on Dormammu yet, deciding to wait until the time was ripe to use a dull knife to carve him up, piece by large piece.

With this situation, The Ancient One no longer wanted to retire.

After all, her desire to retire was because she was tired of living, feared corruption, saw her fate, and was waiting for a successor—so she chose to "retire" (give up extending her life and die peacefully).

Besides, her retirement wasn't death; her Soul and spirit would follow the Vishanti.

But now, things were different!

Kamar-Taj was flourishing!

The sorcerers had a brand-new system; borrowing power had been relegated to the sidelines, becoming just another auxiliary combat method.

The Ancient One herself, through Cultivation, was suppressing and even beginning to counter-attack the so-called corruption.

As mentioned before, she had turned borrowing power into an auxiliary combat method.

With the Akatsuki Organization's help, Kamar-Taj had formed a new system, maximizing their subjective initiative; the sorcerers were full of drive and didn't need much management or urging.

They worked hard on their own! With Akatsuki's assistance, the whole thing was self-sustaining and operating smoothly.

The Ancient One was very idle now; like Clarissa, she just sipped tea, went for walks, and served as a mascot and strategic weapon.

She wasn't tired, didn't fear corruption, her so-called fate was gone, and a successor didn't matter anymore—so why talk about retirement?

In the current situation, if anyone dared to cause trouble or destruction, The Ancient One would be the first to object.

So even if Odin woke up and dared to cause trouble, he really would have to take a slap before leaving.

The Ancient One was getting stronger every day through Cultivation! Clarissa had even given her a more Advanced Cultivation Technique, not just the Basic Cultivation Method.

Unfortunately, Thor didn't know any of this, and Odin, being in his deep sleep, didn't know either.

Not to mention that foolish god Loki, whose performance didn't match his title—and he's supposed to be a mage! The "Number One Mage" who's as laughable as a Kunai stabbing a Susanoo?

Don't make your Big Sister Ancient One laugh.

"Big guy, if you try to lay a finger on the Akatsuki Organization's things, you'll have to face the consequences," Polaris said to Thor, really not wanting to waste more words.

"That is Asgardian property!" Thor grew angry; with his muscles having reached his brain, he didn't care about anything else!

Since they couldn't reach an agreement, they'd have to fight first!

Crackle! Lightning flickered on his hammer as he swung it fiercely toward Tony and the others.

Lightning erupted in an instant!
