In post-war Asgard, the golden sunlight spilled over the Asgardian Palace, which was currently under repair.

"Father wants to see you," Thor said with a smile. "This is a great honor; few Midgardians get a second audience."

Kamala nervously adjusted her clothes. "Teacher, is my etiquette okay?"

"Relax," Levi said calmly. "You just saved all of London; the God-King won't care about such details."

Inside the Golden Palace, Odin sat upon his throne, the light of wisdom flashing in his single eye.

Although Frigga's sacrifice brought him great sorrow, as the Lord of the Nine Realms, he had to maintain his majesty.

"Powerful ones of Midgard, you have done well," Odin's voice echoed through the hall. "Asgard owes you a favor."

Levi bowed. "To witness a battle of universal proportions is already a great harvest, Your Majesty the God-King."

"Humility," Odin nodded. "But I can feel that your strength has increased again. Middle-stage Skyfather-level... no, it is already approaching the peak."

Levi was inwardly startled. As expected of the God-King, he had seen through his cultivation level at a glance.

"Your student is also excellent," Odin looked toward Kamala. "Young warrior, you have protected many citizens of Asgard. The Warriors Three speak very highly of you."

Kamala bowed excitedly. "It is my honor, Your Majesty the God-King!"

Thor interjected from the side, "Father, Levi stabilized the energy fluctuations at the critical moment; otherwise, the losses in London would have been much greater."

Odin gave Levi a deep look. "You acted in secret?"

Levi said frankly, "I only did some insignificant work. If the energy had spiraled out of control, it would have caused serious consequences; I could not just sit by and watch."

"If you had been born in Asgard," Odin said with emotion, "you would surely be a God of War for the ages."

"You flatter me," Levi smiled. "I am just a teacher; nurturing students is my mission."

Odin stood up and took a golden box from beside the throne. "This is a gift from Asgard; please be sure to accept it."

Levi opened the box, which contained several items neatly arranged:

A fist-sized piece of golden metal emitting a holy radiance—an Asgardian Metal Sample.

Three blue crystals with pure energy flowing inside—Asgardian Energy Crystals.

An ancient-looking booklet with 'The Way of Forging' written on the cover in Old Norse script—the Heavenly Palace Forging Secret Manual.

"These are all precious items of Asgard."

Odin said, "The metal can be used to forge divine artifacts, the crystals can serve as a power source, and the manual records the forging techniques of the Dwarf King."

Levi took it solemnly. "Thank you for the generous gift, God-King."

【Ding! Obtained Asgardian items!】

【Return: Complete Asgardian Palace Forging Techniques!】

【Return: Complete formula for Asgardian Alloy!】

【Return: Dwarf King' Forging Experience!】

【Levi's forging ability +20%!】

【Extra Reward: Nidavellir Dwarf Star coordinates!】

Levi was ecstatic. This harvest was massive! Not only did he get forging techniques, but he also got the coordinates to the Dwarf Star.

In the future, if he needed to forge weapons, he could go directly to the Dwarf King.

"One more thing," Odin said. "Though the Dark Elves have been eliminated, the threats to the Nine Realms never cease. If Midgard encounters danger, Asgard will provide assistance."

"I will keep this friendship in my heart," Levi nodded.

Thor stepped forward. "Levi, we are comrades-in-arms and friends. If you have any needs, contact me at any time through Heimdall."

"I will," Levi shook hands with Thor.

Before leaving, Thor suddenly remembered something. "Right, how is Jane's condition?"

"The Aether has been removed, and she has returned to normal," Odin said. "Collector will keep the Reality Stone."

Levi chuckled inwardly. He had secretly intercepted a sliver of Aether energy; although it was only 0.01%, it was enough to study the mysteries of the Reality Stone.

"Then we shall take our leave," Levi said, leading Kamala in a bow.

"Heimdall, send them back to Midgard," Odin ordered.

The light of the Bifrost lit up, and the figures of Levi and Kamala disappeared into the golden teleportation channel.

New York, Training base.

When Levi and Kamala returned via the Bifrost, Peter and Kate were already waiting outside.

"Teacher! Kamala!" Peter rushed over excitedly. "You're finally back! Quick, tell us what Asgard is like!"

Kamala was so excited she was incoherent. "It was so shocking! Golden Palaces, the Bifrost, and even God-King Odin!"

"I even met Thor's friends, The Warriors Three!"

Kate said enviously, "That's so great. I want to go see it too."

"There will be opportunities in the future," Levi laughed. "The universe is very large; our journey has only just begun."

Peter looked curiously at the box in Levi's hand. "Teacher, what is this?"

"Gifts from Asgard." Levi opened the box and displayed the items inside.

The eyes of the three of them lit up.

"This metal is so beautiful!" Kate marveled.

"The purity of these energy crystals is so high," Peter analyzed. "It's even more refined than the energy from an Arc Reactor."

Levi put the box away. "These materials will be of great use in the future. Now tell me about your situation; how has your training been during this time?"

Peter scratched his head. "The range of my Webbing has increased by another 50 meters, and my Spider-Sense range has expanded to cover half the city."

Kate reported, "I've had a breakthrough in my archery; I can now fire three arrows simultaneously and hit different targets."

"Very good," Levi nodded with satisfaction. "You are all making progress."

Kamala said excitedly, "Teacher, I learned so much in Asgard! The way they use energy there is completely different from Earth!"

"Digest it slowly," Levi said. "You've witnessed universal-level energy; this is very important for your future growth."

Peter suddenly asked, "Teacher, are there really many aliens?"

"More than you can imagine," Levi said. "The Kree, the Skrulls, Thanos's army... the powerful races in the universe are countless."

"Thanos?" The three of them were confused.

"A very dangerous existence," Levi said seriously. "But there's no need to worry just yet; we still have time to grow."

Kate said thoughtfully, "So, the reason Teacher has been making us train so hard is to face future threats?"

"Exactly," Levi nodded. "Earth will soon become the focus of the universe. We must be prepared."

【Ding! The Apprentices have gained awareness of universal threats!】

【Awareness increased, training efficiency +3%!】

Levi looked at his three Apprentices with satisfaction. After this period of experience, they had all grown a lot.

"Oh, right, Teacher," Peter said. "Mr. Stark came to look for you; he said there was something important."

"Tony?" Levi raised an eyebrow. "What did he say?"

"He didn't go into detail, he just left his contact information." Peter handed over a slip of paper.

Levi glanced at it, understanding the situation. It seemed the aftereffects of Iron Man 3 were still fermenting, and Tony likely had something to discuss.

"I see." Levi tucked the paper away. "Continue your training; I'm going to handle some matters."

"Yes, Teacher!" the three responded in unison.

Levi returned to his room, took out the items he had obtained from Asgard, and began to study them carefully.

The hardness and toughness of Asgardian metal were beyond imagination, even more miraculous than Vibranium. If he could master the forging techniques, he could completely create equipment that surpassed the Stark battle armor.

The Asgardian Energy Crystals were even more precious. Levi tried to absorb the energy within them and found that this pure divine power could perfectly merge into his body.

"The power of the Skyfather-level is essentially the ultimate control over energy," Levi murmured to himself. "Asgardian divine power, the Kree's cosmic energy, the primordial power of the Infinity Stones... all paths lead to the same goal."

He looked at the system panel:

【Host: Levi】

【Strength: Middle-stage Skyfather-level Peak (99%)】

【Distance to Breakthrough: Just one final step away】

"Just a little bit more." A sharp light flashed in Levi's eyes. "The next big event is Avengers: Age of Ultron."

"Ultron... the rebellion of artificial intelligence, a global crisis."

"That will be my opportunity to break through to the peak of the Skyfather-level!"
