After luckily using the Tesseract's immense power to teleport away the most troublesome one, Loki was in a great mood, sweeping his Mind Stone staff across everyone present.
Hawkeye, who was in charge of guarding the Base, also charged forward, wanting to subdue Loki in close quarters. His idea was naturally correct; when fighting a mage, close combat is always preferred. But unfortunately, he forgot that he was an archer.
Although archers have been overpowered since ancient times, Hawkeye, despite having the title of an archer, was actually more inclined to be a spearman with luck E. Because he didn't know that although Loki was a mage, it depended on where the mage was from. Asgard's mages being bad at close combat was only relative; they usually used dual blades instead of staves, and each of them had the physique of a barbarian shaman.
Therefore, seeing Hawkeye charging fiercely, Lokicalmly performed a Falling Blossom Palm, followed by a Binding Technique (physical), which rendered Hawkeye immobile.
"You still look a bit spirited," Loki said after examining Hawkeye. Although this archer's stat distribution wasn't great, he seemed experienced enough, so he could still be useful.
Thinking this, Loki used the Mind Stone staff to control Hawkeye. After that, Loki looked at the researchers, as he still needed some professionals to open the door using the Tesseract.
However, while Loki was busy controlling these people, Fury, who was hiding in the corner, had secretly taken the Tesseract. Then, using his racial talent, he perfectly concealed himself in the dark Shadow, slowly moving towards the gate.
Although very unwilling, facing the situation where Lu Yifang, the super hitter, was not present, Fury had no choice but to bow his head and activate his non-African racial talent.
And seeing the gate getting closer and closer, Fury's heart grew more and more excited. Even he hadn't expected his racial talent to be so powerful. And this kind of power was something those European emperors couldn't experience. For the first time, he felt for his... European spies. We will, we will fuck you (haha)! We will, we will fuck you!!!
As Fury was secretly delighted, his phone suddenly rang, instantly bringing Fury back to reality. That feeling was like Ivan Vanko's past extravagant spending, trying to defy fate, but ultimately failing to smuggle himself through.
"Don't take it, I still need to use it," Loki finally turned around and shouted at Fury.
Of course, even without the phone call, Loki, who wasn't blind, could naturally see Fury's sneaky actions. But for some reason, even though he knew the principle of catching the leader first, he subconsciously didn't want to bother with Fury, even letting Fury take the Tesseract. This mysterious power from the Black soil of Africa was so powerful, it truly astonished Loki, the Norse god.
"Before that, can I take a call?" Fury, in despair, looked back at Loki and pulled out his phone from his pocket. However, just as he was about to vent his anger at the phone, his eyes lit up at the sight of "Lu Yifang" on the screen, and his expression turned to one of pleasant surprise.
"Kid, you're not dead?!" Fury answered the phone, and at the same time, his gaze towards Loki became arrogant. Hmph, damn European spy, what's the use of having a divine artifact in your hand? As long as I have Lu Yifang as a cheat, I'll still make you call me Daddy.
"I'm doing fine, nothing serious, how are things on your end?" Lu Yifang's voice came from the phone.
"It's very bad, so get over here right now," Furycommanded into the phone. MMP, I've even used my racial talent, you tell me how urgent it is.
"This... right away, right away. Before that, I have a small problem to solve. How many stops and transfers does it take from the Broadway subway station to your research Base?"
"What did you say, take the subway?" Hearing this, Furywas instantly stunned.
"Alright, the subway is too slow. If you tell me the exact location of the Base, I can fly over," Lu Yifang's somewhat helpless voice came through.
"How would I know that question? I only take planes, I don't fly them. Do you usually ask the pilot which direction to fly when you take a plane?" Fury yelled before hanging up the phone.
"Oh, oh, it seems your reinforcements are a bit far from here," Loki said with a playful smile, having watched the entire scene.
"There's no need to make this a bigger issue, Alien!" At a loss, Fury had no choice but to turn around and, with a serious expression, began to prepare for a verbal confrontation.
"Of course there's a need. I spent such a great price for it. I am Loki from Asgard." Loki gladly accepted the verbal challenge and, with the demeanor of a big boss, began to explain the entire situation, while also subtly framing Odin and his foolish brother.
"I bear a glorious purpose, to conquer your Planet."
"We didn't provoke you," Fury said with a frown.
"Ants don't provoke boots either," Loki said proudly.
"So you're going to stomp us to death?" Fury's brows furrowed even tighter.
"Actually, I bring you good news. I'm here to free you. Freedom is the greatest lie, and I will..."
"Boss, stop talking," Loki had already taken out his manuscript, ready to give a long speech, but was interrupted by Hawkeye.
"What's wrong?" Loki said, annoyed. Ever since he was hammered out of Asgard by that foolish brother, the God of Hammers, he had been fed up with the humiliation of wandering and relying on others during this time.
So, with all these words bottled up inside, do you know how hard it is for someone like me who loves to talk?
"Director Fury is stalling for time. After the Tesseractwas removed, the energy that Lu Yifang had stabilized is now becoming restless again. This place is about to explode. If we stay here, we're finished."
"Then never mind, let's go," Loki said with a regretful nod.
Hawkeye then suddenly pulled out a pistol, shot Fury in the heart, and then, carrying a briefcase, left with Furyand Dr. Selvig.
After the scene quieted down, Fury got up again and looked at his chest. The expression on his face became strange. "Did Hawkeye not fully control himself and go easy, or did his intelligence instantly drop after being controlled? Doesn't he know I wear a bulletproof vest when I sleep? I taught him that you should aim for the head when attacking someone when he first became an Agent."
Of course, Fury also knew that now was not the time to complain. This place was about to explode, and he had to leave immediately.
And just as Fury escaped from underground, if one stood above the research Base, they could see a blue-White light suddenly emerge from the ground, then turn into an Impact, like a tsunami, lifting the entire research Base's ground. And under the guidance of that energy, space began to violently collapse inward, like a black hole, starting to devour all matter.
Countless cracks extended outward, quickly reaching Fury's feet. The next moment, Fury fell. And just then, a hand suddenly grabbed Fury.
It was Agent Coulson, who had returned immediately after arranging for the transfer of important equipment for the evacuation.
"Director, what should we do next?" Coulsonimmediately asked when he got Fury onto the helicopter.
"Immediately initiate rescue, call people to use helicopters to pick up Lu Yifang and his girlfriend, as rescuing with their abilities will be much easier. And then..." Fury looked at Coulson, his expression becoming incredibly serious.
"Do you remember our shelved plan? The stage for superheroes to appear has been built, because from this moment on, we are at war!"
Ch 164
Director, with all due respect, this is simply outrageous." In a hidden room, Fury was reporting to his superiors, the World Security Council. The five large screens in front of him displayed the representatives of the five permanent members behind the World Security Council.
"You actually thought about manipulating a power you can't control," one of the representatives said with a frown.
"Senator, have you ever been in a war? There's no such thing as control in war," Fury calmly retorted. Dealing with these bureaucrats was something Fury was already adept at.
"So you're saying Asgard has declared war on Earth?"
"As far as I know, it's just Loki alone. And his brother Thor is not an enemy, but he's too far away. We can't count on them for help; it's up to us."
"So you've brought back the Avengers Initiative, which had been suspended. We've seen that list, Mr. Director. You have a World-class secret Agent organization, yet you want to entrust humanity's safety to a bunch of freaks. Why don't you just call those Mutants too? Then you could have a freak party." The mocking words of Gideon Malik, the central representative, made several other representatives laugh.
"In fact, I did have that thought. Those Mutants are a considerable force," Fury said, nodding seriously in response to Gideon's mockery.
"Director, that joke isn't funny," Gideon's smile froze upon hearing that.
"Oh, really? Then the reason must be that I'm not joking," Fury said with a serious expression.
"And with all due respect, Senator, what we're facing now isn't some minor internal squabble among humans. Loki is just a sorcerer from Asgard, but without using magic, he single-handedly subdued my most elite Agent. Senator, these aliens are not as easy to deal with as humans, who can be taken care of with just one bullet."
Fury said, sweeping his gaze across each Senatorial representative. "Aliens have already invaded Earth. What we need to do is unite any force within humanity that can be united, yet you are acting like Northerners mocking the skin color of black slaves during the Civil War. With all due respect, those aliens won't respond to your arrogance and slowly distinguish which branch of humanity you belong to."
"So you've decided, Director. Emotional decisions won't win wars," Gideon said with a frown.
"I certainly know that, but a good soldier used properly can," Fury said, then ended the communication and walked out of the room, connecting to another communication.
"Coulson, how are things on your end?" Fury asked, looking at the communication screen.
"Things are going smoothly, Officer," Coulson replied with a rare piece of good news. "I've already notified Tony, and Agent Romanoff has gone to find Dr. Banner. And now Lu Yifang and our national hero are already on the plane."
"Very good. So, Lu Yifang, what did Professor X say?" Fury looked at Lu Yifang.
"We are all humans. At this time, of course, we must stand united. Mutants are very willing to contribute to this matter, and I will definitely give you a surprise then," Lu Yifang said, then muttered to himself, "And it will definitely be a surprise that will astound the entire World."
"So can Professor X help us find Loki?" Fury asked.
"No," Lu Yifang shook his head seriously. "Professor Xhas tried, Loki's scepter is very special and can block Professor X's mental detection."
"Oh, I see. That's truly a shame. I'll be waiting for you at headquarters," Fury said, then ended the communication.
"The Dr. Banner you just mentioned, is he the one who tried to replicate the serum used on me?" When the communication ended, Captain America Steve Rogers, the hero finally dug out after being frozen for 70 years, suddenly looked up and asked.
"Many people have tried. After all, you are the first Super Hero in history, but the results weren't very good. Dr. Banner was the same. Gamma radiation didn't turn out to be the key to unlocking Erskine's original formula as he imagined," Coulson turned around and explained.
"Speaking of that Erskine original formula, I'm quite curious about it too. It's a pity it can't be restored," Lu Yifang said, looking up at this moment. According to Stern's research theory, there's also a type of external gene invasive awakening among Mutants.
Abomination is one such type, Spider-Man is another, and Captain America is also one; he is clearly an enhanced Mutant.
"You are a Mutant. This stuff has no effect on you, because you don't need to do experiments to have greater power than us," Captain America Steve looked at Lu Yifang.
As for Captain America's words, Lu Yifang just smiled mysteriously and did not refute him.
"You know? In my era, although there were legends of Mutants, very few actually appeared in the public eye. I didn't expect that more than half a century later, your numbers would increase so much. Honestly, if the Howling Commandos I led back then had more powerful warriors like you, we wouldn't have fought so hard," Steve said, looking at Lu Yifang with a complex expression.
"We have indeed increased in number now, but ordinary people have also started to fear us; they treat us as outsiders," Lu Yifang said with a self-deprecating smile.
"Have you read Superman? Superman comics should have been out in your era. If one Superman appears on Earth, then he is a hero, but if ten thousand Kryptonians appear, then Superman becomes a threat."
"But you are different from Superman. You are human just like us. We are all equal!" Steve said seriously.
Captain America never represented the American spirit of equality and freedom, not the lies that politicians shouted daily but would never deliver on. Captain America represented the true spirit of equality and freedom. This is what made Captain America truly valuable and why so many people identified with him, because he was never loyal to the United States, but to his inner ideals and spirit. This is the most important reason why he later did not sign the Sokovia Accordsand became a fugitive.
"Fury told me earlier to be prepared because this Worldhas become even stranger. I'd say this World has indeed changed, with some novel people and things appearing, but I think I can still handle it," perhaps feeling the topic was too heavy, Steve suddenly changed the subject, wanting to break the dull atmosphere.
"So I bet him ten U.S. dollars."
"Oh, is that so?" Hearing this, Lu Yifang and Coulsonexchanged glances, both showing playful smiles.
"Then I bet fifty U.S. dollars," Coulson said.
"I'll also bet fifty U.S. dollars, or rather, let's make it a hundred U.S. dollars. Wait, let me see how much I still have on me. I'll bet all…."
"No more bets!" As Lu Yifang was reaching into his pocket, Steve immediately shouted. Coulson and Lu Yifang's expressions, as if they had him cornered, made him feel like he had become a fat lamb.
"Will I lose? It shouldn't be that bad, should it? Do I look that much like an ignorant bumpkin?" Captain Americacouldn't help but mutter to himself.
Ch 165
It is truly my honor to formally meet you," Coulson said, barely containing his excitement after getting acquainted with Captain America.
Coulson was a big fan of Captain America. After spending several years and an unknown amount of money, he finally collected a set of out-of-print Captain America SR cards. Now, if he could get Captain Americato sign every card, this set of out-of-print SR cards would become truly unique. They would be upgraded to the legendary SSR cards that even Europeans could only worship.
Just as Coulson finally managed to shift the topic to his cards and was about to take them out for the upgrade ceremony, the aircraft landed with a bang. "Welcome to S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters!" And this was a certain unlucky person's territory!
"Are we getting off now?" Steve asked calmly.
"Wait a moment, I still have something to do…" Coulsoncaressed the out-of-print cards in his embrace. He still didn't want to miss this excellent opportunity to upgrade them to SSRs.
However, at this moment, Black Widow suddenly walked in. "Coulson, Fury wants to see you immediately."
"O-okay," Coulson froze for a moment, then nodded dejectedly. He had, after all, underestimated the power of a certain unlucky person's aura. Of course, he wouldn't give up. So what if he was working for an unlucky person? Captain America was already here, so there would be plenty of opportunities to upgrade to SSRs later, unless he died. Otherwise, who could stop him from defying fate?
"Greetings, two great heroes. I am Agent Romanoff," Black Widow said, looking at Lu Yifang and Steve, and greeted them kindly.
"Hello," Steve also greeted Black Widow. "Coulsonseemed quite unhappy when he left just now, as if he had something to say but held back. What's wrong with him?"
"Oh, I see. It seems he didn't get your autograph," Black Widow said with a smile. Coulson was a Captain America fan, and everyone familiar with him knew how difficult it was for him to collect that set of cards. It was almost as if he had to use S.H.I.E.L.D. connections to threaten the publisher.
"Yo, Dr. Banner!" At this moment, Lu Yifang also saw a bewildered Bruce Banner not far away. This was their first meeting since the last Abomination incident.
"Oh, it's you!" Banner was stunned when he saw Lu Yifang. Because he had undergone surgery for the Hulksuppression experiment last time, he still retained his memories from when he transformed back from the Hulk.
Upon seeing Lu Yifang, who had once beaten him soundly, Banner immediately… became overjoyed. He enthusiastically walked over and shook Lu Yifang's hand.
"It's so good to see you. I feel much more at ease. Agent Romanoff said your name is Lu Yifang, right? Then, Mr. Lu Yifang, I can confidently put myself in your hands," Banner said earnestly, gripping Lu Yifang's hand tightly.
"Oh, by the way, I've been researching Hulk again recently and found that Hulk does have weaknesses. Of course, these weaknesses are only relative to you. Common human weaknesses, such as the knee joint, lumbar spine, and temples, do not cause much damage to Hulk because Hulk's bones are very thick and hard, and his lower body is very stable.
You need to attack his neck, and also his nose. Hulk's nose is very fragile. Of course, you don't have to hold back; you need to hit him hard. Besides that, there's also…" When Banner pointed to his lower body, he suddenly hesitated, then laughed somewhat awkwardly.
"This is not a weakness, so please ignore this area."
Lu Yifang nodded with a strange look, watching Banner, who was looking at him earnestly as if asking, "Do you understand?"
"Don't worry, it's fine if you don't remember. I've written these things down in a small notebook, you can keep it," Banner said, handing over a somewhat crumpled but neatly written notebook.
When Lu Yifang took the small notebook, it clearly read, "Thirty-Six Tips for Beating the Hulk." This made Lu Yifang's expression even stranger. To so enthusiastically teach others how to beat oneself, perhaps only Bannercould do it.
"I hope you can read it carefully. Also, I heard Iron Man Tony will be coming. To be safe, I need to discuss with him specifically to see if we can research a set of armor specifically designed to beat me," Banner muttered to himself, satisfied.
"Dr. Banner!" Steve also looked over at this moment, and the two enthusiastically greeted each other. Although Steve also knew about the Hulk within Banner, given his personality, he naturally wouldn't treat Banner differently because of it.
"Guys, we should go inside. It's going to be hard to breathe out here soon," Black Widow interrupted their conversation at this moment.
"Are you saying this place will turn into a submarine?" Hearing this, Steve frowned. This was his first time seeing such a massive submarine. It seemed Fury and the others were eager to bet with him because many surprising things had indeed appeared after so many years. But to think this level could impress him was underestimating him too much. For him to be truly convinced, this thing would have to be able to fly.
After this thought flashed through Steve's mind, the sound of high-speed turbine rotation suddenly came, and the carrier also began to shake slightly. Four huge vortices appeared around the carrier, and driven by the four turbine groups, the Airborne Aircraft Carrier had already left the Water.
"You look a bit shocked," Lu Yifang said abruptly to Steve, who was looking around like a curious child, as the group entered the control room.
"I'm fine," Steve laughed awkwardly, while reassuring himself inwardly, "There were planes all over the sky during World War II, so it's reasonable for a flying big ship to appear now. It's no big deal. You know, even high-tech stealth planes have been developed now. If you want me to pay, this big guy would have to be able to go stealth too."
"Officer, the Airborne Aircraft Carrier has reached the designated altitude," Hill reported to Fury at this moment.
"Excellent. Let's disappear," Fury ordered.
The next moment, the surface of the giant Airborne Aircraft Carrier just flickered, and its color began to fade, becoming completely transparent until it merged with the sky, disappearing from everyone's sight on the ground.
"Mr. Steve, you don't seem to be looking too well," Coulson walked over at some point.
"It's fine, can't I just pay?" Looking at Lu Yifang, Coulson, and Fury, who had all gathered around at some point, Captain America reluctantly reached into his pocket, pulled out a wad of tightly packed U.S. dollars, and began distributing money one by one.
Heaven help him, how much pain Steve felt at this moment. Although the money he gambled wasn't much, he had lived frugally since childhood and was a good, thrifty child. The money in his hand was his pension that he had just received from the government this month.
People nowadays are truly wicked; they even scam pensions. Gambling, prostitution, and drugs kill people. At this moment, the righteous Captain America truly understood this truth more deeply through practice.
"Thank you very much." Although it was just a joke, Steve's honest behavior deeply moved Lu Yifang, so he decided to return the favor after accepting a hundred U.S. dollars. "I'll treat you to a meal in the cafeteria for lunch. Anything under a hundred U.S. dollars, order whatever you want."
Captain America: "…"
Fortunately, at this moment, Hill, who was nearby, broke Steve's awkwardness. "Officer, we've used all wirelessly transmittable cameras worldwide and finally found Loki's whereabouts. He's at Königstrasse 28, Stuttgart, Germany. This guy doesn't seem to have any intention of hiding."
"Is that so?" Fury's eyes turned cold upon hearing this. "Lu Yifang, Captain, let that son of a bitch know the power of Earthlings."
Ch 166
At night, in Stuttgart, Germany, at 28 Kuning Street, Loki finally found an element he needed to open the door—Iridium—and handed it to Hawkeye, instructing Hawkeye to take it back to Dr. Selvig.
He, on the other hand, changed into his formal sorcerer's attire, donned a helmet with prominent horns, and swaggered out.
According to his plan, it was time to confront his enemies.
Having made up his mind, Loki herded a group of previously elegant and noble upper-class individuals into the square like ducks.
"Kneel before me!" Using magic, Loki single-handedly surrounded these people.
"Are you deaf? Kneel before me!" Loki struck his staff and roared at them.
Sure enough, under Loki's threat, these people all knelt on the ground, while Loki cleared his throat and began to prepare his speech; he had been very displeased the last time his speech was interrupted, so he wanted to make up for it now.
"How much better this is, returning to your original state; you are merely a group of slaves, do not think that by wearing these seemingly decent clothes, symbolizing freedom and nobility, you can conceal your true nature.
You are born to be ruled; in the end, you will always bow down," Loki eloquently delivered his speech.
However, at this moment, an old man, seemingly oblivious, suddenly stood up stubbornly.
"No one will submit to you; you are merely a pathetic, mad wretch destined to be abandoned."
And the old man's words, however, struck Loki's biggest weakness, so Loki, enraged, immediately raised his staff; he wanted to eliminate this old man as a demonstration.
But just then, a Kun-style Fighter Jet suddenly flew in, and from the plane, a man holding a star-spangled shield suddenly leaped down.
"You know what? I once met a man in Germany who trampled others underfoot; we broke up," Steve said calmly to Loki.
"Oh, it's a U.S. soldier.
You should go with time, and I will send you on your way now."
Loki said, already pointing his staff at Steve, and a beam of energy shot out.
"You've got it backward; let me send you on your way," Steve said, raising his shield.
The energy beam struck the Vibranium shield and was immediately reflected, hitting Loki's shield.
"This shield is quite good," Loki said with a gloomy expression.
"Don't underestimate Earthlings; your attack cannot break my defense," Steve said confidently, shaking his shield.
"Is that so? Then how about trying this?" Loki once again launched an energy Impact with his staff.
"What are you doing?" This time, Steve was anxious because Loki was aiming at his feet.
"Don't you think this shield is a bit small?" Loki pouted.
I'm not an idiot; why would I aim at your shield?
Your shield is only 2.5 feet in diameter; it can't protect your whole body.
So, facing Loki, who didn't play by the rules, Stevesuddenly became flustered, and fortunately, at this moment, Lu Yifang jumped down, and facing the energy cannon Loki fired, he directly slapped it away.
"It's you again!" Loki's expression turned somewhat ugly; this guy in front of him was much harder to deal with.
"You shouldn't have the Tesseract this time, right?" Lu Yifang said, already charging towards Loki, and Lokialso showed a panicked expression, but just as Lu Yifang's hand was about to touch Loki, it suddenly passed through, and the real Loki retreated more than ten meters away.
"This is meaningless!" Lu Yifang turned around and threw out several crescent wind blades.
"Bang!" With a crisp sound, Loki's shield already had several cracks.
At this moment, Captain America also seized the opportunity to rush over, using the Vibranium shield to break Loki's shield, and then Captain America used a shield bash, shield slash, and savage shield ram, a series of shield combos that sent Loki flying.
And even so, Captain America still did not stop his offense, and so Captain America's ultimate move, the flying shield, appeared.
The shield was thrown at a 60-degree angle, hitting Loki's staff, and the vibrating shield bounced back at a 60-degree angle, hitting a building, and finally returned to Captain America's hand with a 60-degree flight arc, forming a perfect equilateral triangle.
And Captain America, after taking the shield, threw it out again, and after the shield hit Loki, it returned to Captain America's hand in a beautiful arc, and Captain America threw it out several times with the same result.
All of this was like art; no one knew that Captain America was actually a master of solid geometry who was proficient in mathematics, and he had endured countless hardships to master this powerful flying shield technique.
And all of this had its rewards, because the sweat he shed in the past allowed him to shed less blood today, allowing him to use his abilities to protect... huh, where did the shield go?
Captain America, who had just stretched out his hand, froze, because his shield was actually suspended in the air, and Loki, who had taken several shield hits, also stood up, and with a wave of his hand, the shield was already in front of him.
Hehe, you're pretty good with the shield, but don't you know I'm a sorcerer?
Do you really think I can't use Gravity Binding (non-physical)?
"So, U.S. soldier, guess if this shield can still fly back into your hand."
Loki smiled coldly and snapped his fingers, and the Vibranium shield flew into the sky at supersonic speed.
But just then, a flash of Fire appeared in the sky, and the Kun-style Fighter Jet in the sky inexplicably began to play some flashy music.
"Everyone, you missed me... holy shit, what was that?!"
The flashy Tony, diving at high speed, suddenly encountered something else flying upwards at supersonic speed, and when he clearly saw that it was Captain America's shield, the shield had already made intimate contact with him.
MMP, you guys are doing this on purpose, right?
Last time Lu Yifang threw a flying knife at me, this time you, Steve, threw a shield at me.
Didn't I just show off for a bit?
Did I provoke you or eat your rice?
Tony, falling at high speed, thought furiously.
But soon he realized he had wronged Captain America, because he noticed that Steve had begun to run rapidly towards his falling position as he fell.
This greatly moved Tony; indeed, Captain America was a good person, just as his father had said.
However, Loki did not intend to let Steve go, but when he was about to use his staff, a Rasengan Shuriken suddenly struck, instantly shattering Loki's shield.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Loki used the Mind Scepter as a shield.
"You are the most dangerous one here; if you touch me, I'm finished.
Did you think I would ignore you?" Loki, who had been pushed back more than ten meters, raised his head and said with a smile to Lu Yifang.
"In fact, you should also pay more attention to other things."
At this moment, Lu Yifang suddenly looked up, his expression somewhat strange as he spoke.
On the other side, Captain America ran at full speed; he had calculated the landing spot, and then he stretched out his hands; he would absolutely not abandon it, and he succeeded; he caught his shield.
As for Iron Man... are you kidding me?
That was a several-hundred-pound iron lump falling from over a hundred meters high; only an idiot would try to catch that guy, huh, it seems there really is one.
When Steve came to his senses, he saw a struggling deity trying to get up beneath Iron Man.
First, Thor's hammer fiercely hammered the Destroyer, and then Fire God caught Tony from a hundred meters in the air.
It must be said that the Asgardian royal family is indeed sturdy and durable.
Ch 167
Don't you guys think something's off?" On the return flight, Steve frowned and said to Lu Yifang and Tony.
"It's perfectly normal for our rock star to surrender obediently after getting a good beating, isn't it? An old man like you, thinking too much will lead to insomnia," Tony turned his head and said indifferently.
"Old man? Insomnia?" Tony's words made even the good-natured Steve frown.
"Alright, I'll rephrase. I shouldn't question your ability to sleep, after all, you've been Captain America Popsicle for 70 years." Tony's tone was still full of fire, as Captain America had chosen his shield over him when given the choice, which made Iron Man a little upset.
He even remembered a time in his childhood when, excited by his father's stories, he enthusiastically told his father, "I'm going to be the man who becomes Captain America."
Steve, however, didn't know that he was facing an arrogant fan who had turned into an anti-fan and desperately needed care and comfort. Annoyed, he had already straightened his face. "Fury never said you'd be joining."
"Yeah, Fury didn't say a lot of things." Hearing this, a somewhat disappointed Tony had already turned his face to the window. He felt like he had spoken a bit too harshly, but he would absolutely not apologize, absolutely not!
Just then, a sudden flash of lightning cut across the sky outside the window, and a deafening thunderclap reached everyone's ears. Loki, who had been sitting upright, instinctively flinched.
"What's wrong? Are you afraid of thunder?" Stevelooked at Loki in confusion.
"I don't like the guy who follows the lightning. You know who I'm talking about, right?" Loki looked at Lu Yifang. He had intentionally been caught, but he didn't want to be dragged back to Asgard by his foolish Otouto.
"He's talking about Thor. I'm quite familiar with him; I've used his hammer," Lu Yifang said calmly.
The lightning in the sky intensified, and at this moment, the sound of a heavy object landing on the top of the plane was heard. The next moment, all the lights inside the plane exploded due to overloaded current, and the precision instruments were also affected.
"It's Thor, he's really here," Lu Yifang looked up and said.
"As expected of Thor, his combat power is so strong." Looking at the lightning-filled sky outside the window, a startled Tony quickly put on his mask.
"Bang bang~!" As the plane shook, the cabin door was forcibly pried open in the darkness, and a disheveled, wild-eyed Shadow vaguely walked in.
"I am Thor, for the glory of Asgard," Thor's majestic voice resonated.
"This is Thor?" Using night vision mode, Tony, who had fully seen Thor's appearance, was stunned.
This person with messy golden hair, a bare chest, a red cape, and a hammer in his hand—is this Thor? It felt like picking up a drunk homeless man from a Russia street and then having him cosplay; there was no difference.
"It doesn't make sense. I'm wearing this upgraded N-generation armor, why would I be afraid of a shirtless homeless man? The lightning just now must have been a coincidence." So, having figured this out, Tony charged forward with full confidence.
"Bang~!" The next moment, Tony was sent flying by a hammer blow.
"Damn, as expected of Thor, his combat power is so strong," Tony, lying on the ground, exclaimed again.
Thor, however, ignored Tony and, picking up his spoils—the evil Otouto—then swung his hammer in a circle and flew off.
From beginning to end, Lu Yifang remained calmly seated, without the slightest movement.
"Hey, you know Thor, why didn't he look at you just now?" Captain America poked Lu Yifang and said.
"He doesn't recognize me with the lights off. Of course, even in the dark, I still recognize his hammer, just like I recognize your shield," Lu Yifang said, spreading his hands.
Hearing this, Captain America instinctively hugged his shield. He didn't know why, but just now he suddenly felt like he was about to lose this beloved old companion who had been with him for seventy years.
"Besides, what if I know him? Do you think this fleeting acquaintance is enough for him to give up forcibly taking his brother and instead choose to sit down and talk with us properly?" Lu Yifang continued to explain.
"If that's the case, then stop him!" Tony yelled as he got up.
"Are you sure?" Lu Yifang looked at Tony upon hearing this. "Although I'm not afraid of Thor, if we fight, this plane will definitely be the first to be destroyed. Isn't it more convenient for us to act if Thor takes Loki out of the plane now? We can catch up to him anyway."
"That actually makes sense," a speechless Tony nodded subconsciously, then regained his composure. Although he had been knocked flying by Thor's hammer, he found that he was not badly hurt after getting back on his feet. So he decided to try again. Having made up his mind, Tony flew out at full speed the next moment.
Seeing this, Lu Yifang also stretched, stood up from his seat, walked to the cabin door, and jumped down. At this moment, Steve also picked up a parachute pack.
"Captain, you'd better not go," Black Widow, who was piloting the plane, turned her head and said, after all, those two could fly.
But Captain America shook his head seriously. Earlier, he had chosen the shield over Tony, though it was a last resort. But as a good man, Captain America still felt some guilt, so how could he possibly let Tony fight alone this time?
Meanwhile, Thor had flown to a cliff and thrown Lokionto the ground. "Tell me, where is the Tesseract?"
"Did you miss me?" Loki, treated roughly, was not angry; instead, he laughed and said, because in his memory, his foolish older brother had always been so crude and clumsy.
"We all thought you were dead," Thor picked Loki up from the ground and instinctively patted the dust off him.
"Really?" Looking into Thor's eyes, Loki's gaze suddenly became complex. "Did you mourn for me?"
"Of course I mourned, and so did our Father."
Loki, who had shown a hint of happiness at the first half of the sentence, immediately darkened after hearing the second half.
"He is your Father," Loki growled, stepping away from Thor. "We are not blood-related."
"But I don't care, Loki. We grew up together. I've always considered you my Otouto. Don't you remember any of this?" Thor said sadly.
"I only remember a Shadow," Loki turned his head, looking at Thor with red eyes. From childhood, Thor's mighty Shadow had always loomed over Loki. Lokiknew that Thor cared for him and protected him forcefully.
But this was not what Loki wanted. What he wanted was to stand shoulder to shoulder with Thor, to walk into the Hall of Heroes together, to receive everyone's recognition and blessings. Then, having proven his abilities, he would have Thor personally crown him.
All of this was impossible. Odin had arranged everything from the beginning. He could not be crowned; he didn't even have a fair chance to compete.
So he chose to resist, but Thor's return from Earth made him lose everything completely.
"Since you want to protect Earth and your loved ones on Earth, then I will take everything you have on Earthaway from you!" Loki, determined to get revenge, growled at Thor.
Ch 168
Son of Odin, I have seen Worlds you know nothing of. During my exile, I gained knowledge and understood the true power of the Tesseract. Once I control it, I can..."
Just as Loki was about to explain the full story to his brother and lay out his ambitious plans, Thor focused on something else that concerned him more.
"Who revealed the Tesseract's power to you? Who do you, this self-proclaimed king, obey?" Thor asked anxiously, gripping Loki. How could he not be anxious? His Otouto, Loki, had actually hooked up with a stranger outside.
"I am already a king!" Loki roared, his sore spot hit.
"But not here." Thor roared back. "Hand over the Tesseract, abandon your wicked ambitions, and…"
Thor's voice softened, even carrying a hint of pleading. "Then come home with your big brother."
Hearing Thor's sincere words, a flicker of hesitation appeared in Loki's eyes, but it quickly turned into resolve. "The Tesseract is not in my hands; I have already moved it."
Upon hearing this, Thor became completely anxious. It was clear that his Otouto was determined to follow that person outside to the very end. No, even if he had to use force, he would tie this evil Otouto and bring him back.
"Listen to your big brother~!" Thor, hammer in hand, was about to start making threats.
But the next moment, a figure suddenly rushed out and directly sent Loki flying. There was no doubt that it was Iron Man Tony, who had arrived at full speed, who had sent Loki flying.
Tony grabbed Loki, pressed him to the ground, and started punching and kicking him, making Loki roar in pain repeatedly.
"Why me~!" Loki, being beaten, was instantly confused. On the plane, it was my foolish brother who sent you flying, so why are you hitting me?
Tony, however, did not speak. Instead, he took out a newly invented high-voltage electric stick and directly inserted it into Loki's body.
Of course, Tony knew it was Thor he needed to take revenge on, but he wasn't an idiot. What if Loki slipped away while he and Thor were fighting to a standstill? So, naturally, he had to beat Loki down first to feel at ease. Of course, there was another important reason… Don't misunderstand, this was absolutely not revenge for being sent flying by Loki using Captain America's shield earlier; Tony shouldn't be a grudge-holding person.
What Tony didn't know, however, was that his actions truly were a form of retaliation against Thor.
"How dare you hit my Otouto?" Seeing Loki being publicly beaten, Thor immediately became shocked and enraged. One must know that when brothers are united, a blow to the younger brother's body pains the older brother's heart.
"And you dare to shock him! No one can shock him but me." So, the roaring Thor swung his hammer in a wide arc, directly sending Tony flying, and the two of them tumbled together onto the grass.
"Move again, and I'll make you regret it." Thor said, pointing his hammer at Tony. "Don't be so ignorant. You can't handle this. Iron Man, Loki will be punished by Asgardian law."
"Oh, are you warning me?" Tony, who already had a bad temper, was certainly not one for negotiations. So, facing Thor's unfriendly tone, he naturally retorted directly.
"Then I'll warn you too: don't touch my stuff, and put down your hammer."
"Your stuff!" The "stuff" Tony was referring to was naturally the Tesseract, but Thor, whose thought process was a bit straightforward, subconsciously looked at Loki on the ground.
"And you want me to even put down my hammer!" The other party immediately demanded he give up the two most important existences in his life, which directly ignited Thor, who had still wanted to ease the tension.
It must be said that Tony's taunting skills were truly MAX. Just a few random words, and he could draw maximum aggro.
"Boom~ Rumble!" The two, with one firing a blast and the other swinging a hammer, fought from the ground to the sky, and then fell back to the ground from the sky.
"Enough, Iron Man, I am Thor, the God of Thunder." Thorsaid, pointing his hammer to the sky. In an instant, the sky lit up with intense lightning.
And seeing the streaks of lightning tearing through the darkness being drawn down from the sky, Thorimmediately felt a bit weak and began to desperately recall the insulation capabilities of his armor.
"Boom~!" Violent lightning struck, causing sparks to fly from the Iron Man armor.
"Ah, truly worthy of the God of Thunder, lightning is so terrifying… Beep beep, power reaching 400%!" Tony, who was about to sigh again, was stunned when he heard the system computer's prompt.
"Oh, this is good!" So Tony immediately went all out, releasing all the suddenly surging energy from his armor in an instant.
And observing Thor being blasted away by the energy wave, Tony's heart immediately filled with joy. It seemed the God of Thunder wasn't invincible after all. As long as he went back and modified his armor, creating an anti-Thor armor, this battle would definitely be a sure win.
While Thor and Iron Man were still entangled, Loki had already gotten up. Although Tony's idea was correct, he still underestimated Loki's recovery ability.
But before Loki could even breathe a sigh of relief, a figure suddenly descended from the sky, kicking Lokisquarely in the face.
"Damn it, why me again~!" This was Loki's only thought before he passed out, his emotions gradually spiraling out of control.
"You are too careless. When talking, you didn't deal with the captive properly. What if he ran away?" Captain America, who arrived late, calmly walked out. At the same time, he sighed inwardly, these people were truly amateur fighters, and there was still much they needed to learn.
Don't misunderstand, Captain America is a good person, so this was absolutely not revenge for Loki using his shield as a dart and making him pick it up earlier; Captain America is truly not a grudge-holding person.
Ch 169
After Loki was brought onto the Airborne Aircraft Carrier, Fury put him into a cage that had been prepared long ago, although originally this cage was not for Loki.
"Let me make this clear, don't think about escaping, because even if you just touch the glass, you will fall from nine thousand meters in the sky, understand?" Furysaid, turning around, speaking with an arrogant expression.
"Now you are the ant, and I am the boot." After saying this, Fury immediately felt much more refreshed. Damn it, he finally got his revenge. You broke my racial talent, the tables have turned, and it's finally my turn to show off.
"Alright, this cage is really good, but it wasn't built for me, was it?" Loki smiled indifferently, then looked at the camera not far away. He knew that Lu Yifang should also be staring at the camera right now.
"Clearly a foolish Beast, yet you try to disguise yourself as a normal person. Is this the reinforcement you called? How desperate you must be." Loki calmly complained and disdained the 'forgiveness reinforcement called by the non-African'.
As for trash talk, who is afraid of whom? Although Lokiwas intentionally captured, he had been inexplicably hit with a triple attack earlier, and at this moment, he was full of anger with nowhere to vent.
"That's right, I am desperate." But facing Loki's taunt, Fury generously admitted it. "You declared war on my World, stole an energy source capable of destroying the World from my hands, so I decided to use any means necessary, and you will pay a heavy price for it."
After saying these words, Fury, who had regained his composure, no longer bothered to waste words on a prisoner. He turned and walked out. At this moment, the expressions of the people watching the monitor screen were varied.
"What a lovable child. If no one wants him, let me strangle him." Banner looked up and said with a "kind" expression. Even if he became foolish and green, he could hear that Loki's remarks just now were directed at him.
Thor's brow furrowed slightly when he heard this, and he was about to speak to declare that this was his brother, but an annoying voice spoke first.
"Don't mind him, Dr. Banner, I think you're awesome when you lose control and turn into the raging Hulk." Tony had already arrived at the Airborne Aircraft Carrier, walking in with Coulson.
"And foolishness or anything like that doesn't apply to you, does it? You're a man with seven doctorates. I had some thoughts about the Tesseract before, but I was disappointed to find, after walking in, that apart from you, there's probably no one here who speaks like a normal person."
When Tony scanned everyone present, his gaze lingered on Steve for a moment before he immediately withdrew it, especially from this Captain Americapopsicle that had been frozen for seventy years, hmph~!
"You call this speaking like a normal person here?" Thor's brow furrowed even tighter at this moment.
"No, we call this showing off. I strongly suggest you strike him with lightning." Lu Yifang said leisurely, propping his legs on the table.
"Don't misunderstand, big guy." Tony was not wearing his Iron Man armor right now, so he was really afraid that the straightforward Thor wouldn't get it, so he quickly explained with his MAX sarcasm-filled mouth. "I'm not just referring to you."
The atmosphere instantly cooled down again. Fortunately, Banner stepped forward at this moment, after all, Tony had just spoken up for him. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Tony, the genius."
"Same here, Dr. Banner." Tony extended his hand amicably. Although he was arrogant, as a genius who had also made significant achievements in the scientific field, he was very willing to set aside his arrogance.
"I always thought it was an insult for a genius like you to be called a foolish Beast without clothes. Even if you really turn into a monster, you should use a more appropriate term, such as a Beast in human clothing." Noticing Banner's smile had frozen, Tony was also taken aback.
"Uh, it seems I used the wrong adjective. My English teacher in boarding school was a physical education teacher. Does that explanation work?"
"My condolences for your physical education teacher, Mr. Tony, who passed away prematurely," Banner said with a stiff face. At this moment, he didn't know why, but he actually missed the Hulk a little. That guy would definitely like this flamboyant genius.
"You seem to have misunderstood, my physical education teacher..."
"Alright, Loki is clearly stalling for time, so let's not help him." Steve tapped the table, forcefully pulling the conversation back from where Tony had derailed it. Damn it, if this guy's broken mouth kept going, the Avengers might not be formed, but an Anti-Rich Alliance would certainly be taking shape.
"Thor, do you know what Loki is really planning?" Stevelooked at Thor.
"I'm not entirely sure, I only know that he has a Chitauriarmy somewhere in the Universe, and he plans to bring this army to invade you, and then in exchange, he should hand over the Tesseract," Thor explained.
"If that's the case, then he needs to build a large portal," Banner interjected at this moment. "That's why he controlled Dr. Selvig and Hawkeye using some unknown method."
"In that case, why did Loki surrender? What is his purpose?" Steve said with a frown.
"I think our main focus should be the Tesseract, not Loki," Banner said with a frown. "This guy is crazy, who knows what this son of a bitch... cough cough, what his purpose is?"
"Hey, watch your language. No matter what Loki is like, he's still from Asgard, and he's my brother." Although Banner wisely stopped his taunt, Thor, who hadn't given up on Loki, still stood up immediately to protect Loki.
Although he often played pranks, was good at deception, and had even plotted a palace coup, Thorbelieved he was a good brother, so of course, he chose to forgive him...
"He killed eighty innocent people in two days!" Black Widow suddenly looked up and said at this moment.
"He's adopted." Thor, after a moment of stunned, changed his statement without hesitation.
"There's not much point in discussing it here with you all. We might as well use this time to look for the Tesseract. Coulson, take Dr. Banner and me to the lab." Tony seemed to have grown tired of this discussion and turned to Coulson.
"Wait a moment, Coulson, before that, come with me first." Hearing this, Lu Yifang suddenly stood up and waved to Coulson.
"Lu Yifang, what's wrong?" Pulled into a corner by Lu Yifang, Coulson asked confusedly.
"Nothing, I'll show you something good." Lu Yifang said, suddenly pulling out a finger-thick golden crystal from his magic ring, and then solemnly placed it in Coulson's hand.
"What is th... cough cough!" Coulson was about to ask when the golden crystal suddenly shattered, and a faint golden mist instantly flowed into Coulson's nose.
"How do you feel?" Lu Yifang looked at Coulson and asked.
"How do I feel?" Coulson said, but subconsciously took a breath. After inhaling the strange gas, he had the illusion that his body had become stronger, and the fatigue from working overtime these past two days was swept away.
"Don't rush, this thing also needs a little time," Lu Yifang said with a smile.
"You still haven't said what this is?" Coulson pressed again.
"If I told you this was 'Non-African Spray', and after spraying it, you'd be a non-African who could never get an SSR in this life, would you believe me?" Lu Yifangsaid with a smile, then turned and left.
Leaving only Coulson blinking in place. He naturally didn't believe Lu Yifang's words. As for whether the smoke was harmful, Coulson never even considered it. He and Lu Yifang had been through life and death together many times, so in the end, Coulson just took it as a small prank by Lu Yifang.
How could I become a non-African? Impossible. Once this matter is successfully concluded, I will go to Captain America for a card autograph to perform my SSR upgrade ritual.
Ch 170
The Airborne Aircraft Carrier was operating at full speed, and everyone on board was busy with their own tasks. At this moment, a figure walked into the cabin where Loki was imprisoned.
"You arrived a little earlier than I expected." Loki turned and looked at Black Widow with a playful expression.
"You knew I would come?" Black Widow asked, staring at Loki.
"That's right, but I originally thought Fury would try some methods to torture me before this, and only when he was completely at a loss would you make your grand entrance, pretending to comfort me and then extracting the information you wanted from me," Loki said with a smile.
In fact, Fury certainly wanted to interrogate Loki with severe torture. As the head of S.H.I.E.L.D., the despicable and dirty methods he could conceive of would definitely far exceed Loki's imagination. But the problem was Thor was here. What if Loki, while being tortured, suddenly said, "Nii-san, it's all my fault. Forgive me, I can't be with you anymore"?
Then, it's not guaranteed that upon seeing this, Thorwould immediately soften, instantly transform into a brother-protecting maniac, and cause a ruckus on the Airborne Aircraft Carrier. All of this was possible.
If Thor wasn't here, then Fury could pretend to be unaware and have Loki dissected, but knowing that Lokiwas the Asgardian Prince, dealing with an alien prince not subject to Earth's laws was undoubtedly very awkward.
"I came because I want to know, what exactly did you do to Barton?" However, Black Widow's words somewhat surprised Loki. This woman wasn't here to seduce him, but to find a lover, which immediately displeased Loki, who had been deprived of love since childhood.
"I merely broadened his mind," Loki said vaguely.
"Then if you succeed, what will happen to his mind?" Black Widow pressed.
"Are you asking that out of love?" Loki said playfully.
"Only children talk about love. I just owe him a favor." So Black Widow sat down and began to tell the story of herself and Barton. Black Widow had done many wrong things in the past, and Barton was originally following Fury's orders to kill her, but in the end, Bartonlet her go and brought her back to S.H.I.E.L.D..
"So it's simple, I owe a debt, and I have to repay it!" Black Widow said with a serious expression.
"Repay a debt? Can you even repay it?" After hearing Black Widow's words, Loki suddenly sneered.
"How many unforgivable things have you done? Do you think saving someone similar to you can change anything? This is a woman's kindness. Begging for forgiveness like a child, how pathetic," Loki growled, his expression turning cold.
Because of Black Widow's words, for some reason, they made him think of himself. When Thor said to him, 'Come home with me, Otouto,' did Loki truly have no thoughts in his heart?
As long as he followed Thor back, the things he had done and his blemishes would undoubtedly fade with time, and he would once again be the second prince of Asgard, the Fire god Otouto hidden behind his big brother Thor.
But Loki was absolutely not such an easily submissive person. Even if he couldn't get forgiveness, he would still do what he wanted to do.
"You lie for liars, you serve as a butcher's knife for killers. You consider yourself extraordinary, pretending to act by your own standards, trying to use that as an excuse for your crimes, but that's a part of you now, something that can never be erased," Loki growled, and rather than mocking Black Widow, he was pointing at himself.
"I'll keep him, to force him to kill you, using the method he knows you fear most, slowly killing you. This is what I'll do: I'll awaken him, let him see his masterpiece, and then when he's screaming in agony, I'll cleave his head open. That way, your souls will be eternally intertwined, wailing in pain. This is what I want. Someone always has to pay the price, ha ha ha... hehe he... ha ha ha!" Lokicovered his face and laughed maniacally.
At the same time, Thor, who was in his room preparing to sleep, suddenly shivered inexplicably. Despite being Thor, he seemed to have a premonition of the future, vaguely seeing a black Shadow holding a cleaver and chopping at his kidney.
"You monster?" Black Widow, startled by Loki's morbid laughter, turned around with a grim expression.
"No, the one you brought is the real monster," Loki said triumphantly. After saying this, he immediately felt much better.
Speaking of which, since he came to Earth, this was the first person who actually listened to him properly.
"So, Banner, that's your plan." Black Widow, who had just seemed frightened, suddenly turned her head and said.
"What?" Loki's expression changed. Having just spoken his mind, he seemed to have accidentally said a little too much.
"Call Fury. Loki's real plan is to lure Banner into transforming inside the Airborne Aircraft Carrier. Don't let Banner leave the laboratory. Also, notify Lu Yifangand Thor to hurry over."
"Tony, Dr. Banner, what are you doing?" When Furyreceived the news and rushed to the laboratory, he saw a paper airplane hit him in the face.
"Shouldn't you be working right now?" Seeing the two playing with paper airplanes, Fury immediately became enraged.
"We've already set up the search model. As soon as there's a result, we'll know," Banner explained.
"But before that, we want to know what 'Phase Two' really is?" Tony said with a playful expression.
"They want to use the Tesseract to create weapons." At this moment, the door suddenly opened, and Stevewalked in with a weapon. During this time, he had quietly infiltrated the armory.
"So, while the entire World is in crisis, you're secretly investigating me. Is that important?" Fury was stunned when he saw this, and his expression immediately turned annoyed.
"Of course it's important. Loki and his Chitauri army were drawn here by the Tesseract," Thor, who had just walked in, said.
"Well, this is all because of you." Fury looked at Thor, explaining that because of the Thor and Mephistoincident, humanity was forced to enter the interstellar era, and he did this for humanity's self-preservation.
However, Fury's words did not convince everyone. Instead, they started arguing back and forth. An atmosphere of suspicion and unease enveloped the entire room.
Lu Yifang, who had walked in with Thor and watched the entire scene, frowned slightly. Although these people had different personalities, they shouldn't have started arguing so easily. And for some reason, being here also made Lu Yifang feel uncomfortable. After scanning the room, Lu Yifang finally pinpointed the source of this discomfort: Loki's scepter, which was placed on the table.
He could feel a faint energy emanating from the scepter at this moment, and it was this energy that was affecting everyone's minds. Lu Yifang instinctively reached for the scepter, but just as his hand was about to touch it, Lu Yifang pulled back.
"Now is not the time. I need to endure a little longer. The Mutant, who has waited for so many years, doesn't lack this bit of time," Lu Yifang muttered to himself after withdrawing his hand.
A violent Impact wave suddenly struck, its power even shaking the entire Airborne Aircraft Carrier. In an instant, the noisy crowd, under this Impact, all sobered up.
Tony and Steve immediately rushed towards the direction of the explosion, while Fury and Black Widowran towards the bridge. As for Thor, he, of course, went to find his wicked Otouto.
The scene immediately became quiet, leaving only Lu Yifang and Banner, who had fallen to the ground. Due to the Impact of the explosion, Banner's body could be seen swelling at a visible rate.
"It seems they really left you for me," Lu Yifang sighed and pulled out the "36 Tips for Beating Hulk" that Banner had given him.
