Chapter 41 Loki Arrives, Conflict

"I am no longer the prince of Asgard. I cannot lift Thor's hammer and have lost the qualification to become the god of thunder. My father has given up on me."

Thor spoke dejectedly, his clothes were covered with mud and looked a little disheveled under the heavy rain. He did not look as brave and fighting as he did in the God Realm before. If his companions saw the God of Thunder in this state, they would definitely be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

Noah looked at Thor in this state and thought, should I comfort him? This kind of work shouldn't be done by me, right?

He raised his hand and expanded the magic shield above his head, extending it to the top of Thor's head. Noah did not get wet at all in the heavy rain because he used magic to block the rain before coming out.

"Thor, come in here first, your friend is waiting for you."

After hearing Noah's words, Thor perked up a little. Friend? He thought of Jane, who was just there in the rain. But Noah just said that Jane was waiting for him here?

"Thor!"

Just then, a scream came from the side. Thor turned his head and saw Jane running behind several agents.

Stepping on the muddy ground, her anxious footsteps splashing water, Jane quickly ran to Thor. Looking at Thor's appearance, she thought he was injured. Looking at this girl who cared about him, Thor suddenly felt much better.

"Thor, are you okay?" Jane smoothed the scattered hair in front of Thor and asked with concern.

"Jane, I'm fine. I'm sorry." Thor looked at Jane and apologized. He was sorry that he could not let Jane see his most majestic and handsome appearance, and he could not get back the research equipment and materials for Jane as he had promised before.

"It's okay, Thor, let's go first and don't get wet in the rain here." Jane pulled Thor up. It was easy to catch a cold if you got wet in the rain outside on a rainstorm. But when she just stood up, she discovered something. There seemed to be no umbrella where she was standing, but there seemed to be no raindrops falling?

She looked up and found that there was no rain falling above her head. All the rain seemed to be blocked by a transparent umbrella. And this was only the case above the three of them. The rain in other places fell to the ground as usual.

Jane glanced at Noah quietly. She felt that this strange sign might be caused by this person. Could it be that this person was really a wizard as Thor said? No, this was not scientific.

"Come on, both of you, go in and have some hot water first. It's so cold, be careful not to catch a cold." Noah noticed Jane's eyes, but he didn't care. Instead, he invited the two of them to come in and sit down. He gestured with his hand and asked an agent to take the two of them inside.

After Noah finished speaking, he suddenly felt a strange energy fluctuation. A smile appeared on Noah's face. He knew that a new guest had arrived.

After saying thank you, Jane took Thor's arm and followed an agent to a room. This room was not a workshop. It did not have those complicated equipment. The walls were white and there were only a few beds and tables and chairs. This room was temporarily converted by Coulson. In Thor 1, it was originally the room where Thor was imprisoned.

The heavy rain outside the window gradually dissipated, but the cold moisture seeped into the air, making it chilly. Jane curled up all the way into the room, and immediately felt much warmer after entering.

Jane and Thor sat on the chairs together. Thor at this moment might have been hit too hard and he still looked devastated.

"Thor, wait here for a moment. I'll get you a cup of hot water." Jane saw that Thor's face was still not very good, so she wanted to go outside to get some hot water. She saw that Thor had been outside in the rain for so long and was worried that he would catch a cold.

After Jane closed the door, a person suddenly appeared in the empty room. Thor looked up and found that it was his younger brother Loki.

"Loki, why are you here?"

"I have to come see you."

Thor noticed that Loki's face looked a little heavy, and hurriedly asked what had happened. As a result, Loki told him that his father Odin was dead, and he was angry to death because of the troubles he had caused. Thor's face immediately turned as pale as death.

"The burden of the throne now falls on me."

Loki's words made Thor raise his head slightly and look at him.

"Can I still go back?" Thor asked hopefully.

"No, the requirement for a truce with Jotunheim is to exile you permanently, and my mother doesn't want you to go back. I'm here to say goodbye. Sorry, brother."

"I'm the one who should be sorry. Thank you for coming to see me, brother."

Loki's words completely plunged Thor into the abyss. The two said goodbye to each other. After Loki turned around, he showed an expression of success. When the sound of the door opening was heard, Loki disappeared on the spot.

It was Jane who opened the door. She came in with two cups of hot water and placed them in front of Thor.

"Thor, what happened? You look sad." After sitting down, Jane found that Thor's face looked even uglier than before she left.

"It's okay, Jane, let's leave here soon." Thor forced a smile. Not wanting to make Jane worry, he drank the hot water that Jane brought him.

"OK, when you feel better, we'll go."

"Sorry, Jane, I may not be able to help you get those equipment back now." Thor said apologetically. At that time, he thought that after he got the hammer back, he could ask the SHIELD people to return Jane's equipment. He didn't expect that he couldn't even lift the hammer now. He didn't fulfill his promise to Jane, which made him feel a little ashamed.

"It's okay, Thor." Jane comforted him. Although she also wanted to get these things back, now was not the time to think about them.

While the two were chatting, Loki, who had just become invisible, did not leave immediately, but came to Thor's hammer.

Loki looked at Thor's hammer and thought, Thor had been in power for so many years because he possessed this artifact. His people worshipped and loved him, which made Loki, who longed for attention, very envious. If he could pick up this hammer, he could get the same power and love as his brother. Loki stretched out his hand and grasped the handle of the hammer.

However, Thor's hammer did not give Loki any face and stayed motionless in the soil. After Loki tried several times, he realized that he could not lift it and put his hand down in angrily.

"Thor's hammer can only be lifted by someone recognized by him. It seems you are not qualified."

Just as Loki was about to leave, a voice sounded from behind him.

Loki turned around and found a human staring at him, as if he could spot him even though he was invisible.

"Mortal, are you talking to me?" Loki stared at Noah with a dangerous smile on his face.

"What else? The second prince of Asgard." Noah walked in and came to the crater. At this time, the two were separated by a distance of a crater.

"Watch your words, mortal from Midgard. I am now the king of Asgard, and also the king of you humans." Loki stretched out his hand, revealing a dagger, and said to Noah.

"Humans don't need this kind of feudal stuff, and I also think that you are not worthy of being the king of Asgard. I think your brother is more qualified than you." Noah said. Comparing him with Thor, Noah felt that Loki would definitely not be able to hold on.

This is indeed the case. When Noah said that he was not as good as Thor, his face first became slightly ferocious, and then he showed an evil smile.

"You will see whether I am qualified or not." After saying that, a green flash flew out and headed straight for Noah's face.

However, the scene that Loki expected did not appear. The dagger he threw was directly caught by Noah's two fingers.

Noah threw it to the ground and taunted Loki:

"That's it?"

"It seems that you are a mortal with some abilities."

Loki smiled when he saw Noah easily blocked his flying knife, then the green magic power surged in his hand, and he waved it forward, and two balls of magic attacks flew out and flew towards Noah.

Noah stretched out his hand, and when the two balls of Loki's magic power approached Noah, they stayed directly in front of Noah's hand. Then Noah clenched his palm, and the green magic power disintegrated and dissipated into the air.

Noah did not retract his hand. He bent his ring finger and little finger, and stretched out his index and middle fingers together. He slashed forward, and two wind blades flew out, cutting through the air and slashing towards Loki.

Loki's face changed, and then his figure began to blur. He dodged the attack, and the wind blade broke through the passage and flew out.

Several agents looked at the wind blade passing by, and then looked at the iron railing with a very smooth cut. Cold sweat dripped down their eyes, but they also realized that someone had invaded again. They quickly reported it through the intercom.

After seeing that his unexpected flying knife did not work, Loki realized that this human was a little difficult to deal with. He grinned and said to Noah.

"Yes, you have some skills, mortal. If you kneel down to show respect to me now, I can mercifully let you go."

Loki stretched out his arms forward, raised his head, and had a proud expression. At the same time, behind Noah, the shadow of the building illuminated by the lights suddenly began to stretch. Two shadows formed the shape of Loki and quietly approached behind Noah, who was completely unaware of the situation.

"boom!"

A stomping sound was heard, and magic power surged into the ground, shaking the mud and sand behind Noah into the air, and the two shadows disappeared directly.

"Are these the only shady little tricks you can use, King of Asgard?"

Noah shook off Loki's spell behind him, then took out a bolt of lightning from his backpack, which was the Statik electric blade, the electric knife.

Noah raised the electric knife and pointed it forward. A bolt of lightning shot out from the knife so fast that Loki had no time to react and was struck by the lightning directly. Electricity flashed all over his body and he began to tremble.

The lightning only lasted for a short while before it was resisted by Loki's physique and magic power, although this was also related to the fact that Noah did not put in any effort.

"Damn it! How dare you attack me with lightning!!"

Loki came to his senses and was very angry at this moment, because he hated thunder and lightning the most. This mortal actually let the great king of Asgard suffer such humiliation, which was simply unforgivable!

Loki's body shape changed again, and then he split into nine, creating nine clones. The venue, which was not empty at this time, seemed a bit crowded with the addition of nine Lokis.

"Now? Mortal, how should you respond? Can you tell the difference? Which one is fake? Or are they all real?" Nine Lokis approached Noah together, then brandished a pair of magic daggers and attacked Noah.

Noah stepped back and dodged one of Loki's attacks, then pointed his electric knife and the Loki who was struck by lightning disappeared immediately. Then Noah stretched out his hand and formed a guardian shield (Resolution rune) on the side to block the attacks of the two Lokis. Noah discovered that these illusions created by Loki could actually attack people. It seems that these are not illusions, but clones. Loki still has some stuff.

The remaining Loki threw the daggers in his hands at Noah, then stretched out his hands to transform into two daggers and rushed towards Noah.

The dagger with Loki's green magic was shot towards Noah at an extremely fast speed. Noah's magic power surged and turned into gusts of wind that surrounded his body (Yasuo's Way of the Rurouni), blocking the oncoming flying knife. Then the surrounding gusts of wind scattered and turned into hurtful sword energy, which dispersed all of Loki's clones.

At this time, the scene on the field returned to its original state, with only Loki standing opposite Noah.

"As a mortal, you are indeed quite strong." Loki, who was standing in place, clapped his hands and praised Noah with a smile on his face.

"As a god, your strength is not..." Before he could finish his words, Noah stretched out his hand and grabbed the arm that was about to attack from behind.

The Loki opposite Noah disappeared, and the real Loki appeared from behind Noah. At this moment, he had a ferocious look on his face and tried hard to break free from Noah's hand.

"Is this the trick of you, the God of Trickery? It looks like a child's prank." Noah pinched Loki's hand. From the very beginning, Loki could not hide in front of him. His powerful magic could sense where Loki was. He was just playing with him just now.

"Let go, mortal, you are offending a god." Loki tried hard to pry open Noah's hand. However, although Loki's frost giant blood gave him powerful physical strength, and the movie also showed that he was stronger than Captain America, he could not pry open Noah's hand. Because Noah's strength was growing day by day under the strengthening of the rune of determination, and at this time it had reached a level that Loki could not match.

"God? Such a weak God, come, try your favorite electric therapy." Noah raised his other hand holding the electric knife. The dark clouds that had originally dissipated in the sky gathered again, and thunder rumbled. This was the lightning cloud that Noah gathered using magic power by relying on the electric knife.

Looking at the lightning that was about to fall from the sky, Loki's face showed a terrified expression. He could feel the danger of the next lightning. His scalp was numb and his hair stood on end. At this time, his body's ability to sense danger had reached its peak. He thought that he would be doomed by this attack.

After struggling violently and using telekinetic magic and the talents of the frost giants, he still couldn't break free from Noah's hand. When the lightning was about to fall, Loki shouted directly to the sky:

"Heimdall!!"

Heimdall, who is far away in Asgard, has been watching this place.

At first he was just paying attention to Thor's movements, but later he found Loki there. Heimdall couldn't help but wonder, Loki didn't ask him to activate the Rainbow Bridge to send him to Earth today, so how did he get there? Heimdall suddenly thought of the Frost Giants who, like Loki, didn't know where to get to Asgard.

But he didn't have time to think about it now. After all, Loki was still the king of Asgard in name only, and he couldn't let anything happen to him on Earth.

Heimdall activated the Rainbow Bridge, and a beam of colorful light shot out towards the earth.

At this time, Noah also sensed that a powerful force was approaching. He let go of Loki's hand and teleported away from the spot with an arcane leap.

After Noah dodged, a colorful beam of light descended from the sky and shone on Loki's position. Coulson and the agents who had just assembled arrived late, and only saw the rainbow beam of light falling from the sky and the mysterious mark after the beam of light dissipated.

Thor and Jane also heard the loud noise and went out to investigate.
