Chapter 197 Loki: No, I became the God of Thunder?
The battle with the War Lord has almost exhausted all the strength of the Avengers.
Bucky's metal arm was broken, and Tony's Mark IV could no longer move.
He does have a Mark 5, but with the performance of the Mark 5, it can only deal with those Chitauri soldiers.
Peter was exhausted too.
T'Challa endured too many attacks. Most of the time, he acted as a meat shield and bait, constantly enduring the War Lord's moves from the front.
Including the intense energy emitted by the axe.
This has pushed the kinetic energy that his suit can absorb to its limit. At this moment, Black Panther's suit is covered with purple lines, and it looks like it is glowing.
Vibranium has a strong absorption capacity, but what he wore on his body was only a thin layer after all.
But no matter what, the War Lord is dead.
"we won!"
Peter let go of all his strength. At this moment, he just wanted to fall to the ground and take a nap.
But Tony and Steve shook their heads and looked at the same time a few blocks away, where blue energy enveloped the white whirlwind.
“Haven’t won yet.”
They said tiredly.
But now there are not many people who have the strength to continue fighting.
Steve frowned, looked at the Hulk who had beaten them to a pulp not long ago, and said, "Hulk, only you can help us now."
Hearing his words, Hulk wanted to get angry, but his not-so-smart brain suddenly realized that Captain America was talking about Hulk, not Banner.
Then the big fellow's frown relaxed again and he said with all his strength:
"Hulk will crush everyone!"
After Hulk left, the rest of the people were not idle either. Some with strong powers joined the operation to eliminate the Chitauri warriors.
The remaining Chitauri forces are no longer a concern, and what really determines the outcome of this war is actually Loki's side.
But at this moment, Loki's condition was very bad.
He messed up.
From the moment he picked up the Ice Box and the Cosmic Cube, he screwed up.
At that time, facing the three Black Obsidian Warriors, Loki knew that the Supergiant holding the Mind Stone was the most difficult to deal with. He was not sure he could kill her, and the Black Dwarf was the weakest and was not a threat.
So he picked Ebonymaw.
However, his power was not enough to fully utilize the Ice Box, and the sneak attack failed to kill Ebony Maw.
Instead, he lost the Cosmic Cube while escaping.
Now, both Infinity Stones are controlled by the other party. Even though he has a treasure like the Ice Box, he still has no way to fight against them.
This almost turned into a cat-and-mouse game, and now he was the one who was in a passive position.
The blizzard released by the Ice Box could not stop Supergiant and Ebony Maw, it only delayed his death.
The only good news is that after Supergiant obtained the Cosmic Cube, he stopped taking any action.
The woman in the white cloak was taciturn and very mysterious.
She is indeed loyal to Thanos, but she also seems to be a little passive, or maybe she understands that all Thanos wants from the beginning is the raw stones, and Thanos doesn't care about Loki's life.
In that case, there was no need for her to kill Loki.
Instead, Ebony Maw, out of anger at Loki's sneak attack, kept attacking Loki.
This is good news for Loki, but not so good, because the Cosmic Cube is in the hands of Ebony Maw, and if Ebony Maw is really at a disadvantage, then Supergiant will not remain indifferent.
All this made Loki very passive.
He was like a rat being chased by Ebony Maw, and what made him even more tormented was his self-blame for his own weakness.
"I'm sorry I disappointed you..."
He betrayed Bant's trust in him and failed to protect the gem.
Or maybe Bant's trust in him was a mistake from the beginning.
He, Loki, is so useless that he just messes up everything.
At this moment, Loki was hiding in a collapsed building, with his back against the cold wall. A street away, Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf were searching for him.
He leaned against the wall, sat down weakly, and rested the back of his head against the wall, thinking, who can save the world now?
Loki felt really pathetic.
Weak and powerless, unable to do anything.
From the moment he was born, he was a pitiful abandoned child. Even his own father, Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants, looked down on him because of his congenital disability and abandoned him.
After being picked up by Odin, the weak boy received no respect in Asgard.
The people of Asgard had to bow their heads because of his status, but no one really felt how noble he was.
Because standing next to this dull prince was Thor, who shone with the brilliance of lightning.
Thor was too dazzling at that time.
Powerful and majestic!
So that no one could notice him.
The tiny Loki is just an insignificant pendant on Thor.
But he was unwilling to accept it. He felt that Odin was biased. He felt that he could do better than Thor because Thor had no brains at all except for his muscles.
He thought Thor was hopelessly stupid.
But it was not until now that he realized that the real fool was himself.
It is Loki who is weak and incompetent, but has a high opinion of himself.
He thinks he is a god, but in fact, he is just a ridiculous clown.
After his failed coup, he was exiled to Sakaar and became a slave. If it weren't for Bant, he might have died.
Then, he revealed the information of the Tiangong Association, saying that Luma and Saka were in danger at the moment and it was all his responsibility.
If the earth is destroyed, it will be because of him.
But he couldn't do anything.
No, at least he could still escape.
Loki thought.
With his magic, it would not be difficult to escape if he lost the location of the gem.
The superstar's telepathic ability might be able to detect it, but the other party obviously wouldn't go to the trouble of dealing with a pathetic and ridiculous little character like himself.
Yes, otherwise just run away.
he thinks.
There is no need to sacrifice your life for just a courtyard and for those mortals.
But for some reason, this thought kept spinning in his mind, but Loki could not escape.
It was as if both of his feet were grown on the soil of this planet.
Loki couldn't help but feel ridiculous about his own idea.
He doesn't have such deep feelings for this planet.
To be honest, he didn't want to disappoint Bant any more.
Because Bant was the only person in his failed life over the past thousand years who believed that he would achieve something.
Who else but Bant would think he was qualified to be king?
Odin?
He had thought about it, but he wanted to become the leader of those giants, which was not a real king.
Thor?
He just felt that he was a weak brother who needed his protection.
Or the Queen of Gods Frigga?
Loki shook his head. He did not deny his mother's love for him, but that was only because she loved her child, not because she believed that he could be a better king than anyone else.
"No more."
Loki stood up and let out a breath of cold air.
To be honest, he himself didn't believe that he could achieve anything.
Just like his throne—
Lies and hoaxes.
In the final analysis, they are just some small tricks that are not presentable. They play some insignificant or even ridiculous little roles in other people's glorious stories to provide some laughs for the audience.
What else can be done?
Loki thought.
He now hopes so, at least in this way, the story may have a happy ending.
After this clown comes to an end, a real hero will stand up and turn the tide.
Maybe this is not a bad thing.
Loki chuckled, then he took a step and walked outside.
Amid the shroud of snowstorm, Ebony Maw sensed his presence.
This guy, who looked like an evil wizard, had one hand behind his back and a floating Cosmic Cube in the other hand. He looked at Loki like a god looking at an ant.
"No longer hiding?"
Ebony Maw sneered. "Are you trying to trick me with this pathetic trick again? It's useless. The energy of the cube has enveloped the city. You can't escape, Loki."
"I'm not planning on running away."
Loki looked at him, and this time, he was determined to die!
No matter whether a hero will appear in reality to save everything, and no matter what direction the fate of the earth will go.
At this moment, Loki's thoughts were actually very simple.
He couldn't let Bant down again.
Loki wanted to prove that Bant had not misjudged him. Maybe Bant had underestimated his own strength, but at least he had not misjudged himself.
He wanted to show Odin and all the Asgardians that he might not be a qualified king, or even an Asgardian, but he also possessed the glory of Asgard.
So he won't run away this time.
Even if I die.
"Or do you intend to pledge your allegiance to the great Thanos?" asked Ebony Maw.
He really wanted to kill Loki immediately, but Loki's identity was extraordinary after all. If even the prince of the Aesir swore allegiance to Thanos, then Thanos' prestige in the universe would increase again.
"I told you, there is only one king worthy of my loyalty!"
Loki held up the Ice Box, and it was obvious that he had made his choice.
"What a shame. I thought you would be a smart man." Ebony Maw said sadly, and then the Cosmic Cube in his hand suddenly shone brightly.
Hearing this, Loki smiled slightly and said, "You are wrong, I am hopelessly stupid."
The next moment, the wind and snow in the Ice Box once again transformed into countless giant beasts, rushing towards Ebonymaw.
After becoming familiar with Loki's three weapons, Ebony Maw was able to cope with them without even relying on the power of the Rubik's Cube.
He waved his hand lightly, and those giant ice and snow beasts were swept aside like garbage under his powerful telekinesis.
Then, he made a move, and in an instant, it seemed as if a huge hand grabbed Loki's throat and lifted Loki up high.
Loki suddenly felt suffocated, his face flushed red, but he was unable to break free.
The greatest wizard in the Nine Realms?
Just a joke!
"To be honest, you are so weak that I find it unbelievable." Ebony Maw said slowly, "Killing you is as easy as killing an ant."
He tilted his head proudly, with his flat nose pointed at Loki, full of contempt.
"Then...why don't you do it?"
Loki said with difficulty, his vision already beginning to blur.
Ebony Maw did not answer. He just waved his arm slightly. The next moment, countless ice and snow turned into sharp blades, filling the sky densely.
As long as Ebony Maw wanted, he could kill Loki completely in the next moment.
"I give you one last chance, Loki, son of Odin, to surrender to the great Thanos!"
"..."
at the same time.
In the snow and wind, a tall man in thin clothes was walking with difficulty.
The biting cold turned his skin blue, his lips purple, and his eyelashes covered with a thick layer of ice. Every breath he took was like sucking a sharp knife into his lungs.
He could hardly move, but he never stopped for a moment.
And he was Thor.
Originally, Thor was in the shelter with Jane Foster, hoping that the heroes of Earth could save the world this time.
But that doesn't seem to be the case.
Later, the temperature in New York began to drop, and the sudden low temperature also affected the shelters.
Many elderly people and children began to fall ill. Although Jane Foster was just an ordinary person, as a nurse she immediately devoted herself to taking care of the patients.
This made Thor's heart palpitate a little.
Although he has lost his divine power, perhaps he can still do something.
Not to mention, he had actually realized that the snowstorm was created by Loki.
But he didn't know what role Loki played in this Chitauri attack.
I'm not sure if I really saw the other person when I was in a daze.
Saul needed an answer.
If Loki planned all this, then he must stop him. If Loki has turned over a new leaf, then he should stand with his brother and face any enemy.
Just like every battle in the past thousand years.
So he resolutely walked out of the shelter and headed towards the center of the blizzard.
He also saw the scene where Loki was held high by Ebony Maw like a dead dog.
He was heartbroken.
"Loki!"
The roar seemed to carry the power of thunder and lightning, instantly shattering the wind and snow and reaching the ears of Ebony Maw and Loki.
Loki, who was almost unconscious, had blurred vision.
He couldn't see Thor's appearance in the wind and snow, but he was very clear that Thor had come.
"Thor...my brother."
At this moment, Loki smiled weakly but complacently.
To him, Thor was the one desire that had eluded him his entire life.
In fact, Loki knew very well that although Thor had lost his divine power now, this would not be permanent.
There was no way Odin would allow his child to remain in Midgard forever.
Sooner or later, his brother will understand what a king is, what a true god is, and then he will hold high Thor's hammer, return to the embrace of the gods, and ascend the throne as king!
In that case, why not today?
Loki thought.
He knew Thor cared about him, so why not let his death become the lightning that illuminates the darkness? !
Thinking of this, Loki released the last breath from his throat and shouted Thor's name: "Brother!"
Then, as if he had used up all his strength, he opened his mouth weakly.
"Revenge for me..."
Ebony Maw glanced at Thor coldly, and then swung his arm down, and countless icy blades shot towards Loki like a rainstorm.
Thor's eyes widened.
Loki closed his eyes peacefully.
He only needs to wait for death, and then let his soul return to the Hall of Heroes.
He thought so.
But death was still not here.
Feeling a little confused, Loki opened his eyes in surprise, but the scene he saw made him lose the ability to think instantly.
Thor, whose body was covered with thorns like a hedgehog, stood by him with his arms outstretched, blocking all the attacks for him.
Loki was stunned.
Thor fell down, covered in blood, and the still warm blood brushed against Loki's cheek, the temperature of the blood seemed to burn Loki.
"Thor..."
"Thor?!"
"elder brother!"
He held Thor's body desperately. At this moment, Loki was as panicked as a child.
"Run... Loki, run..."
Thor just lay in Loki's arms and uttered the last few words with his hoarse throat.
At this moment, Loki felt as if the sky was collapsing!
Rumbling--
Thunder roared in the distant sky.
Ebony Maw, who was about to do something, looked up in surprise. Not only him, but Supergiant also came here in an instant and looked at Loki vigilantly.
"What did you do?" the superstar asked.
Ebony Maw did not answer, he just shook his head, his eyes fixed on Loki.
At this moment, Loki's body seemed to be surrounded by endless lightning, and huge energy burst out from his body!
Immediately afterwards, under the surprised gazes of Ebony Maw and Supergiant, a huge bolt of lightning fell from the sky as if tearing the sky apart, and along with the lightning came a short silver hammer.
Loki held the unconscious Thor in his arms, stretched out his hand, and raised the hammer high!
The silver armor was draped on his body like fish scales, and the bright red cloak fluttered like flames.
Loki silently pulled down the silver mask. At this moment, standing in front of Ebony Maw and Supergiant—
It's Loki, the God of Thunder!
Thanks to Daerb for the 500 points reward, thank you baby
