Faced with Thor’s thunderous strike, Loki, who was half-kneeling on the Bifrost, silently drew his dagger. Odin’s staff had been taken by Thor and the Phantom Knight during the month-long battles, but it hadn’t significantly diminished Loki’s combat prowess.
Loki’s own dagger was also of divine weapon caliber, and it wouldn’t be easily outmatched by Mjölnir. However, one was meant for covert attacks, while the other was for direct confrontations. Although their levels were the same, trying to block Thor’s hammer with a simple dagger was an impossible feat for Loki.
Boom!
So, in a resounding impact, Thor’s hammer didn’t strike Loki but instead slammed hard into the Bifrost. As for Loki, at the moment when Thor descended, he swiftly moved backward a distance and then instantly phased into the Bifrost. He thrust his dagger fiercely toward Thor’s chest as Thor struck the Bifrost.
Of course, Thor had been prepared for Loki’s little trick from the beginning. Although he couldn’t use his hammer to block in time, Thor managed to evade this surprise attack with a quick sidestep. Then, he forcefully pulled the hammer out of the Bifrost and swung it towards Loki.
Crash!
Loki was once again sent flying and crashed heavily onto the Bifrost. He slid a considerable distance on the Bifrost until he came to a stop near the end.
At this point, behind Loki lay the control nexus of the Bifrost, but the superhero team led by Phantom Knight from Earth was blocking his last escape route. Given Loki’s current condition, it was impossible for him to break through and activate the Bifrost for teleportation.
Beneath Loki on the Bifrost was the end of the Endless Sea of Asgard, with seawater seemingly descending from nowhere, forming a ninety-degree super waterfall. The translucent seawater surged and roared as it fell into the boundless cosmos below, creating a breathtaking spectacle akin to a galaxy descending from the heavens.
With Thor advancing step by step in the front and Phantom Knight blocking the way in the rear, Loki seemed to have no choice but to surrender. However, Loki, who had risen from the ground, simply took off his crooked helmet and tossed it aside.
After rolling a few times on the ground, the helmet, representing Loki’s proud identity, fell into the boundless ocean and eventually dropped into the infinite cosmos along with the water.
Seeing Loki’s actions, Thor didn’t say anything more. He continued to approach, and Loki’s consistent attitude indicated his intentions very clearly. This time, for the sake of Mother Frigga’s face, Thor would spare Loki’s life.
Sizzle!
Under the radiant light on the Bifrost, the thunderous aura emanating from Thor appeared even more intense. In contrast, Loki, who stood facing Thor, no longer exuded the same formidable presence he had earlier.
Besides the dagger in his hand, Loki’s magic cloak had suffered considerable damage. At this point, aside from maintaining his usual noble and composed expression, Loki didn’t seem to have any more tricks up his sleeve.
“Phantom Knight… We’ve come to this point, why hasn’t Loki surrendered yet?” As the two brothers finally approached each other, Spider-Man Peter quietly asked the Phantom Knight beside him.
Among the Earth superhero alliance that had come to Asgard to assist Thor at his request, Spider-Man was included, and this fulfilled Lin Rui’s earlier promise to show him the sights of Asgard.
Peter had truly broadened his horizons during his time in Asgard, and his multiple battles with Loki had expedited his growth. However, with the current situation unfolding before him, Peter felt that Loki should surrender.
“Everyone has different goals. Perhaps, for you, this is already a dead-end. But for Loki, surrendering might not be the end of the line for him.” Lin Rui sighed quietly in his heart and gave a simple reply.
“Is that so?… But, I feel like… If Loki stopped plotting against his own people and used his intelligence and power to rule Asgard, he would be more than capable. At least, he can outsmart Thor in terms of intellect.”
“Shh…”
Just as Peter finished speaking, Jack next to him raised his hand to stop him from continuing. They had come to help Thor restore order, not to express admiration for their enemy or a usurper.
Although they had found Loki impressive in various aspects during this month, this was an internal matter of Asgard, and their role was to align themselves with Thor and do what they were supposed to do after joining his team.
“I understand…” Realizing he shouldn’t be saying these things right now, Peter muttered quietly and kept his mouth shut.
As Peter fell silent, Thor had already reached Loki’s side. It seemed like Loki’s bid for power was about to come to an end. Everyone from Earth was watching the two of them closely, but in Lin Rui’s eyes, there was a glint that the others didn’t possess.
“Loki! It’s all over now!”
Boom!
Silver Mjölnir, accompanied by a sky full of thunder, descended upon Loki, and a gigantic flower suddenly appeared in front of Loki on the Bifrost. Faced with Thor’s final blow, the massive flower created by Loki opened its petals and swallowed the thunderstorm.
However, the flower shattered moments later, and the remaining thunderbolts continued their assault on Loki, who had no other means of defense.
Crash!
This time, Loki didn’t evade; he endured Thor’s strike head-on. Feeling the pain coursing through his entire body from the power of the God of Thunder, Loki gritted his teeth and refrained from spitting out the blood welling up in his chest.
He continued to raise his head to gaze at Thor, who appeared to have the victory within his grasp, and a touch of bitterness welled up in Loki’s heart.
Swish!
Next, Loki raised his hand and hurled the only dagger he had towards Thor. Undoubtedly, this blatant attack was directly intercepted by Thor. However, instead of controlling the dagger to return to his hand, Loki remained in place as if waiting for Thor’s next attack.
Finally, Thor stood before Loki, just like they used to face each other with laughter and mischief. However, this time, Thor didn’t see the same joy and mischief in Loki’s eyes that they once shared.
Crash!
Another strike of Mjölnir came down, and Thor angrily knocked Loki down once again, the expression of disdain still visible on Loki’s face. Based on past experiences, Thor knew that as long as Loki hadn’t completely lost his resistance, he might still be playing tricks.
However, this time, Loki didn’t play a trick on Thor. After rolling a few times on the ground, Loki made no resistance and fell from the edge of the Bifrost.
Noticing that Loki had indeed fallen, Thor’s expression changed, and he quickly lunged forward to reach him.
