Chapter 1021: Means!

Chapter 1138: Means!

One minute later, with disappointment evident in his eyes, Lin Rui hung up the communication. David hadn’t ignored his call; however, he had conveyed that the situation was dire.

The Sorcerers had suffered heavy losses due to battles against the Zealots in recent days, and even the Ancient One had entered seclusion after severely injuring Kaecilius. Currently, nobody could reach him.

Regarding the urgency of Dormammu’s impending arrival on Earth and the fact that a cosmic team was under attack by Dormammu, while David wanted to help, the Sorcerers of Earth, apart from the Sorcerer Supreme Ancient One, lacked the power to directly open a Magical Portal into the cosmos.

Consequently, even if David believed Lin Rui’s account, there was little they could do to assist. However, David informed Lin Rui that he had reported the situation to the Ancient One. Whether Ancient One would take action to help depends on their response.

“Damn it! How could this happen?!” Lin Rui clenched his phone tightly, his voice tinged with bitterness, after ending the communication.

Although David had reported the imminent arrival of Dormammu to Ancient One, Lin Rui knew that since Ancient One had chosen seclusion at this critical juncture, something significant must have occurred in his battle with Kaecilius.

While Ancient One would be better-prepared thanks to Lin Rui’s warning, he had still suffered a blow.

Nevertheless, compared to the original storyline where Kaecilius had fatally stabbed Ancient One, the current Ancient One was in much better shape after the attack. So, expecting Ancient One to take immediate action to help was likely unrealistic. Without Ancient One’s assistance, how could Lin Rui rescue Star-Lord and his group?

Crack!

With a sharp sound, Lin Rui’s phone was now in pieces, crushed in his hand.

“No! I can’t give in to panic! I need to stay calm! Star-Lord and his team are still counting on me to rescue them!” Despite the stinging sensation from the broken pieces of his phone, Lin Rui forced himself to regain his composure.

As Lin Rui frantically brainstormed rescue strategies for Star-Lord, Peter was equally engrossed in seeking ways to provide support. However, given that Star-Lord and his team were facing peril in the cosmos, Peter struggled to think of any methods that could help them.

“Jackson, can Asgard’s Bifrost reach them? Didn’t you mention before that the Bifrost is a long-range teleportation device?” After eliminating Earth’s existing technological means, Peter suggested a seemingly plausible solution.

Due to Thor and Loki’s experiences, Lin Rui had explained Asgard’s situation to his partners multiple times, focusing on the extraordinary power of the Bifrost. So, Peter knew about the Bifrost’s capabilities, including its potential as a cosmic cannon.

If Lin Rui could contact Asgard and convince them to deploy the Bifrost, it might provide the necessary aid to Star-Lord and his team.

However, upon hearing Peter’s suggestion, Lin Rui shook his head. “No, ever since Loki arrived on Earth, Thor and the others can no longer summon the Bifrost. The Ancient One used a magic array to shield Earth from such travel, presumably to counter Dormammu. But I suspect there might be other reasons as well.”

Lin Rui had indeed considered reaching out to Asgard for the use of the Bifrost, but the current situation was complex. With Thor and the others unable to contact Asgard, invoking the Bifrost’s power seemed impossible.

Moreover, the current crisis had been triggered by the Sorcerers themselves, and Asgard, particularly Odin, might not be inclined to intervene.

“So, what do we do? We’re out of options to support Star-Lord and the others in the cosmos! Despite the rapid progress in our aerospace technology in recent years, we haven’t reached the point where we can journey beyond the solar system. Besides, Star-Lord and his team are likely still outside the solar system.” If even the Bifrost was out of reach, Peter couldn’t fathom any further solutions.

“Aerospace technology?!” However, as Peter voiced his frustration, Lin Rui’s eyes lit up as he repeated the two words.

Snap!

In the next moment, Lin Rui pulled out an earpiece and placed it in his ear, quickly establishing contact with J.A.R.V.I.S. Peter’s earlier words had reminded Lin Rui that, even though they had been seeking external help, they might have the resources to rescue Star-Lord on their own!

Six months ago, Lin Rui had provided Tony with the complete blueprint of the E Grade Aerospace Fighter Jet Jet. With Stark’s comprehensive industrial capabilities and later assistance from the full strength of SHIELD, they should have produced a finished product by now.

It was worth noting that the E Grade Aerospace Fighter Jet Lin Rui provided was a fundamental asset for achieving Earth’s goal of entering the Interstellar Age, a plan known to only a select few such as Lin Rui, Tony, Captain Rogers, and Professor Charles.

At this stage, Peter and his peers were unaware that Earth had the capability to construct a spaceship for interstellar travel.

“Jackson, what’s got you so flustered?” Once J.A.R.V.I.S. was on the line, Tony’s voice echoed in Lin Rui’s ear.

“Tony, is the E Grade Aerospace Fighter Jet completed?” Lin Rui cut to the chase, skipping any pleasantries.

Upon hearing Lin Rui’s question, Tony on the other end of the earpiece hadn’t responded yet, but Peter, standing nearby, had widened his eyes. An aerospace fighter jet? Did he imagine things just now? When did Earth’s technology advance to the point where they could build something like that?!

“Well, it’s about 95% complete. Only a small portion of the instruments remain to be tested,” Sensing the urgency and anxiety in Lin Rui’s tone, Tony answered without much ado.

In reality, the remaining untested instruments accounted for only a fraction of the total work. Those instruments required testing in a cosmic environment.

“Good! Tony, there’s an opportunity for the final testing now! Start warming up the E Grade Aerospace Fighter Jet and get ready for launch!” Upon hearing Tony’s response, Lin Rui’s face finally showed a hint of excitement, followed by his determined statement.

“Jackson, what’s happening? Why do we need to deploy the aerospace fighter jet?” Tony couldn’t hold back his curiosity and inquired.

“I’ll explain later. Right now, I need to contact Professor Charles. This time, I’ll need everyone’s assistance!” Without offering an explanation to Tony, Lin Rui swiftly conveyed his message and then ended the communication.

After concluding the call with Tony, Lin Rui immediately dialed Professor Charles’ number.
