Chapter 858: Bringing to Light

Seeing Malekith’s unchanging icy expression, Thor’s heart skipped a beat, but his face remained calm.

“What? Do you really think that with the two of you, you can snatch the Aether from us and leave safely? Don’t underestimate us!” When Malekith didn’t answer, Thor stepped forward and asked in a serious tone.

Hearing this, Malekith’s eyes jumped, Thor had seemed to attack the already damaged nerve.

“Do you really think you can scare me? Be realistic, that woman who is housing the Aether cannot hold on anymore. If you didn’t come here to ask me for help then I’d be happy to wait a little longer. Anyway, you and I and everyone know that my purpose is the Aether and only that, I don’t care about that woman’s life or death.” Malekith raised his eyes and stared at Thor, who was pretending to be strong in front of him, and said in a disdainful tone.

Whatever the identity of the woman was, Malekith was pretty sure that the Asgard didn’t want her to die because of the Aether. What gave them a chance to walk away with Aether was that they couldn’t separate Aether from the woman. So, Malekith is no longer playing around with Thor.

“You!…” Hearing Malekith’s words, Thor was so surprised that he did not know how to respond.

Malekith had seen through his own plan to trade the Aether for Janer’s safety, and if he could have handled it, Thor would be passive. But, they really don’t know how much longer Jane Foster will last.

“Hmm! … Malekith, right?” When Thor did not know what to say because Malekith pointed out the situation, Lin Rui, who stood by without opening his mouth, coughed and answered.

“Who are you? This is a conversation between the Dark Elves and the Asgard. Although Thor is still young, at least he can represent Asgard. What and who are you?!” As soon as Lin Rui opened his mouth, Malekith’s cold eyes directly swept towards him as he asked back.

Hoo!

At the same time, a bleak mental impact quickly pounced on Lin Rui. It appears that Malekith is trying to test or disable this guy of unknown origin.

Shout!!

When the mental shock came, the light in Lin Rui’s eyes condensed instantly, and the Psychic Power belonging to Lin Rui also poured out of his body, forming a solid defense.

Pū～

The next moment, an invisible collision occurred in front of Lin Rui. The collision of the two Psychic Powers made Lin Rui frown slightly, but he didn’t take a step back. After so many battles and various accidents, Lin Rui’s Psychic Power has also grown to a very high level.

“Jackson! You…” Sensing that there had been an invisible confrontation around him, Thor looked at Lin Rui and opened his mouth with some concern.

Hearing Thor’s words, Lin Rui silently shook his head at him.

“Humph! It seems that you are also a Sorcerer!” Malekith said with a cold snort when he saw that Lin Rui was doing fine after suffering under the impact of his Psychic Power.

In Malekith’s eyes, only the Magic-using Sorcerer has a powerful amount of Psychic Power. Although ordinary warriors have strong willpower and can resist the impact of other Psychic Powers, it is impossible for them to form a Psychic Power defense like Lin Rui just did.

“You don’t need to worry about who I am, it’s just… can you really drag it on?” Lin Rui asked indifferently as he stared at Malekith with his unmasked eyes, not caring about Malekith’s guess about his identity.

Brush!

“What do you… mean!” Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Malekith, who had a cold expression on his face, suddenly stared at him and asked fiercely.

“As you can guess, we really don’t want that woman to die because of the Aether, and we do need your help. However, no one knows how long she can last, and I think you have experienced it yourself as to what happened before, and that situation may happen again.” Seeing the change in Malekith’s expression, Lin Rui continued to speak.

Since the negotiation just now allowed Malekith to seize the initiative, now, Lin Rui will take the initiative back again!

Malekith certainly knew what Lin Rui was talking about. If the Aether had not suddenly exerted some of its power to trap him in the illusion, he would have left Asgard with the Aether by now.

“What do you mean? !” Therefore, when Lin Rui mentioned this, Malekith asked in a deep tone.

“I mean… we may be able to delay it for a while, but you have no time to delay it any longer. After all, you have been waiting for this opportunity for a thousand years!” Looking into Malekith’s eyes, Lin Rui struck his final blow in a flat tone.

Boom!

When Lin Rui finished the last sentence, a huge amount of dark energy came out of Malekith’s body and his expression became very hideous. It seems that Lin Rui’s guess is correct, Malekith can’t miss the Convergence.

“How…how did you know that!?” Staring at Lin Rui in front of him, Malekith, who was constantly surging with dark energy, asked with a restrained expression.

“It’s none of your business how I know. Currently, I just want to ask you one thing, are you willing to seize this opportunity to take the Aether and leave? Or, wait until the woman dies because of the Aether and then Asgardians would have nothing to hold them back and I don’t think even you would survive such an assault without fleeing with your tail between your legs.” Lin Rui asked unmoved as he looked at Malekith’s almost threatening appearance.

Huhu~

Hearing Lin Rui’s words, the dark energy pouring out of Malekith’s body retracted. It seemed that Lin Rui finally made the right bet this time. Convergence is the most important matter to Malekith.

“Do you swear that you would let me go after I take the Aether out of that women’s body?” Withdrew the dark energy, Malekith looked at the mysterious man in black and asked. Finally, the initiative returned to Lin Rui.

“No, the only thing we negotiated is that you take out the Aether and we want that woman to be safe. As for how you leave Asgard after you get the Aether, that’s up to you.” Lin Rui shook his head when he heard Malekith’s words.

Now that the initiative is back, Lin Rui can no longer let the other party take advantage of them. Moreover, Lin Rui still remembered that in the original plot, Malekith had used the Aether on Earth to plunge the entire Nine Realms into permanent darkness. So, he can’t just let him go.
