Chapter 1039: Thor’s Greetings

After being puzzled, Thor smiled. He knew that there was no real blame on himself, just concern.

“Well, Ben, I’m back! I just went home for a while, and my home is in a very distant place.” Thor explained with a smile after Ben let go of him.

“Went home?! Does that mean your home is on another planet? Can’t you even make a phone call?!” Ben asked with a serious expression upon hearing Thor’s explanation.

“Hehe, how did you know?” Thor asked with a smile, pretending to be angry at Ben’s questioning.

Thor wasn’t lying; he did indeed go home for a while, and his home was on another planet, far away from Earth. So, he naturally accepted Ben’s questioning with a smile on his face.

Ben couldn’t say anything as he felt helpless at Thor’s counter-question. Ben didn’t really believe that Thor’s home was on another planet; he just said it as a joke. And Thor’s response was also seen as a joke by Ben, who wouldn’t really get angry.

“Well, now that you’re back, I don’t need to find other volunteers anymore. I’ve been doing your work for these days, so you need to make up for it, you know?” Ben said, turning around while speaking.

“Got it! Lovely Mr. Ben!” Thor called out from behind, watching Ben’s figure.

“Who’s lovely! If you can’t do well, I’ll let Dopey bite you!” Ben replied impolitely, facing away from Thor.

“Haha, Dopey really likes me. How could he bite me?!”

Then, Thor followed Ben into the stray dog shelter. He also missed those adorable little ones inside the shelter.

Ding ding!

Just as Thor had taken only two steps forward, his phone in his pocket suddenly rang. Hearing the phone ring, Thor’s eyes flickered, and he stopped in his tracks. Instead of taking out his phone, he turned around and looked toward the entrance of the stray dog shelter.

Fizz fizz fizz!

As Thor looked towards the entrance, he quietly accumulated a flickering electric arc in the palm of his right hand.

Dadadada!

By the time the electric arc in Thor’s palm had formed into a ball of electric light, footsteps could be heard from outside the door. Then, a young man with a smile on his face walked in. And that young man was none other than Lin Rui, who had been separated from Peter.

“Long time no see, Thor.” Lin Rui greeted him with a smile as he looked at Thor in the living room.

Whoosh!

Fizzling!

However, while Lin Rui greeted Thor with a smile, Thor didn’t respond. Instead, he swung his right fist directly. In a blink of electric light, the ball of lightning power quickly flew towards Lin Rui. It was quite a powerful move considering that the first thing Thor did when he saw Lin Rui after their separation in Asgard was to attack him.

“What the hell! Is this how you greet a friend who narrowly escaped death?!” Lin Rui shouted helplessly as he saw the electric ball rapidly enlarging in front of him.

In the midst of shouting, Lin Rui had already swiftly unsheathed the Beheading Spirit Sword. Compared to the power of Thor’s lightning that he had witnessed before, the power emanating from this electric ball was evidently something Lin Rui needed to take seriously.

Swish!

In the blink of an eye, Lin Rui’s Beheading Spirit Sword had swung down from top to bottom in front of him. Enveloped in Azura’s sword aura, the Beheading Spirit Sword precisely pierced through the incoming electric ball, causing a violent energy fluctuation as the lightning power and the sword aura unleashed an intense surge of energy. The next moment, this electric ball would explode in front of Lin Rui.

Hum hum!

Witnessing this scene, Thor was clearly worried. He only wanted to test Lin Rui’s current strength and vent his frustration of being ignored on Earth these past few days. However, seeing the electric ball about to burst in front of Lin Rui, Thor couldn’t help but feel concerned.

Ever since the invasion of the Dark Elves, Thor had already recovered a significant portion of his strength. Although he still couldn’t fully control Mj?lnir, his power as the God of Thunder had awakened even further.

Thor regarded the power of the God of Thunder as divine-level strength, something he believed Lin Rui wouldn’t be able to withstand. Now, he was starting to regret his reckless actions.

However, just as the electric ball was approaching the point of explosion, a dense internal energy fluctuation suddenly surged from Lin Rui.

As the electric ball rapidly burst open and countless blue arcs of electricity scattered in all directions, including Lin Rui’s location, that surge of internal energy instantly enveloped an area within a few meters centered around Lin Rui.

Fizz fizz fizz!

To Thor’s astonishment, under the cover of this special energy, the exploding electric ball was actually suppressed. Although its arcs of electricity continued to release energy in all directions, they were restricted, as if their speed had been slowed down, preventing the energy from pouring out.

Clearly, Lin Rui had released the newly comprehended realm of his internal energy. Although Lin Rui could also dodge the energy released by the explosion directly with his sword, that would have been disastrous for the stray dog shelter. Therefore, Lin Rui could only release his internal energy to control the electric ball.

“Be… annihilated!” After releasing the realm of his internal energy, Lin Rui tightly gripped the Beheading Spirit Sword and uttered a low shout.

Hum hum!

Then, the surrounding realm of internal energy quickly contracted towards Lin Rui, with its final target being the electric ball in front of him.

Under the continuous suppression of the internal energy, the partially exploded electric ball was forcefully compressed back. The unstable arcs of electricity were squeezed together in a chaotic manner.

Pū~

Finally, the electric ball was compressed into a small, bright blue dot, and then it flickered in front of Lin Rui and Thor before disappearing completely. The electric ball didn’t disappear out of thin air; it was consumed by the energy within Lin Rui’s internal energy realm.

“Whew~ That was a close call!” As the electric ball vanished, Lin Rui also retracted his realm.

After Lin Rui resolved the danger of the electric ball, Thor, who had withdrawn his fist, adjusted his surprised expression and earnestly examined Lin Rui.

“Thor, you don’t have to greet me like this every time, okay?!” Retracting the Beheading Spirit Sword, Lin Rui looked at Thor with a helpless expression.

Lin Rui remembered that the last time he hadn’t been in contact with Thor for a while, he received a punch when he went to find Thor again. However, at that time, Thor’s strength was far from being as powerful as it was now.

“Because you never seem to learn!” Thor bluntly replied upon hearing Lin Rui’s words.
