Chapter 22:
"Who? Who is coming?"
Hearing Loki's words, Captain America couldn't help but tease.
"Don't tell me you're afraid of thunder?"
"I just don't really like the guy who's about to bring the thunder."
The Quinjet flew straight into the black thunderclouds.
"Boom!"
"What was that sound just now? What's above our heads?"
Black Widow, who was piloting the jet, looked uneasily at everyone in the cabin and asked.
As for the identity of the newcomer, at this moment only Loki and Alex Chen knew.
A pale bolt of lightning tore through the dark sky, illuminating half of it.
The son of the God-King in Norse mythology — Thor, the God of Thunder!
Iron Man didn't care who was coming. He silently put on his helmet and pressed the button to open the cabin door.
Before Captain America could react, he saw a burly figure land firmly on the cabin door panel.
Tony reacted first. He raised the repulsor in his palm, preparing to fire at the intruder.
But Thor was faster. A bolt of lightning struck Tony directly, sending him flying backward and incidentally knocking into Captain America as well.
Thor didn't care about the others. He walked straight to Loki, roughly grabbed him, and dragged him out of the Quinjet.
Tony and Captain America hurriedly got back on their feet.
"Damn it, another Asgardian? What does he want? Does he want to kill Loki?"
Black Widow saw Thor actually drag Loki out of the Quinjet and couldn't help but cry out in alarm.
"No, I don't know who he is either. Whether he wants to kill Loki or let him go, the Cosmic Cube is gone anyway."
Tony said angrily.
"Tony, calm down. He's one of us."
Tony ignored Captain America's words and jumped straight out of the Quinjet to give chase.
Captain America shook his head helplessly, grabbed a parachute from the nearby rack, and followed.
Thor brought Loki to the top of a cliff and threw him heavily onto the ground upon landing.
After standing up, Loki patted the dust off his clothes and looked at Thor with a mocking expression.
"Thor, long time no see?"
Hearing this, Thor kicked Loki hard in the abdomen.
"What? You don't want to see me?"
Seeing Loki's "dead pig not afraid of boiling water" attitude, Thor knew he couldn't persuade him anymore.
"Bastard, do you think I came here to catch up with you?"
"Tell me quickly — where exactly did you hide the Cosmic Cube?"
Thor walked forward angrily, grabbed Loki by the collar, and lifted him up.
"Hahahaha, hahahaha. I already told you, that thing has been hidden by me."
Loki looked at Thor up close and suddenly laughed out loud.
"Bastard, speak!"
"I just won't say it. What are you going to do about it? I want to see what you can do to me."
"Bastard!"
"Slap!"
"Scum!"
Thor raised his hand and slapped Loki hard across the right cheek, making Loki dizzy and seeing stars.
"Ah, my teeth! My teeth! Damn bastard!"
"I said it — that's mine! It's mine! Why did you take it away!"
"What?"
"My kingdom, my status, everything that should have belonged to me has now been taken by you."
Loki looked coldly at Thor in front of him, showing no sign of backing down.
Thor also looked coldly at Loki, wishing he could tear him apart.
But Thor couldn't do it. The person in front of him was his brother.
Just as Thor wanted to say something more, Tony suddenly rushed over at high speed and slammed into Thor, knocking him off the cliff.
Soon Thor stood up and said coldly to Tony:
"Hey, tin man, listen up. If I were you, I would never appear here. I would stay where I belong."
As he spoke, Thor swung Mjolnir and smashed it toward Tony.
"Bang!"
Tony, along with his armor, was hit by a powerful impact and crashed straight through the tree trunk behind him.
Tony was also enraged by Thor's attack.
He got up and countered with a repulsor beam, sending Thor flying.
Thor raised Mjolnir in his hand and summoned lightning from the sky, striking heavily toward Tony.
However, what neither of them expected was that this strike caused no damage to Tony's armor. Instead, the armor received a 400% charge.
Tony instructed Jarvis to concentrate all 400% of the armor's energy into his palms and chest, then fired three wrist-thick repulsor beams in response to Thor.
Thor hadn't expected to suffer such a setback here.
A trace of anger appeared on his originally relaxed face. After standing up, the two clashed fiercely once again.
They exchanged punches and kicks in brutal close combat.
"Bang! Bang!"
Two explosion sounds echoed through the sky.
While Thor and Tony were fighting fiercely, Captain America ran all the way to the edge of the cliff.
"Damn it, how did it come to this?"
Looking at the rolling clouds and mist in the valley and the deep crater created by their fight, he couldn't help but curse.
Just as Tony and Thor were fighting intensely, Captain America threw his shield to stop the two of them.
"Have you had enough? Our goals are the same. Why are you still making such a fuss?"
Hearing Captain America's words, Tony couldn't help but complain:
"If this hammer-swinging brute hadn't been so rude and taken my people away, I wouldn't be bothering with someone like him."
"What did you say? If you dare say one more word about my hammer, do you believe I'll smash your tin can to pieces right now?"
"Enough!"
Captain America looked helplessly at the two hotheads in front of him and could only take the lead in grabbing Loki and heading back. He no longer cared whether the two would continue fighting.
After all, the main goal this time was to bring Loki back to S.H.I.E.L.D. and question him about the Cosmic Cube's whereabouts.
Seeing this, Tony and Thor stopped their entanglement and together walked toward the Quinjet that had just landed outside the valley.
"Hmph!"
Loki snorted coldly and said nothing more.
"Loki, do you really think I can't do anything to you?"
Thor glared coldly at Loki, his eyes radiating cold light.
"What do you want?"
To prevent Thor from going berserk again and taking Loki away, Captain America timely interrupted:
"Alright, let's get on the plane."
Once they were on the Quinjet, Thor still didn't give up and tried to persuade Loki.
"Loki, you are my brother. Your matters are my matters. I hope you stop causing trouble."
"Me causing trouble?"
"Fine. Since you put it that way, I have nothing more to say. When I get the Cosmic Cube and obtain power strong enough to overturn all of Asgard, I will personally send you on your way and personally take back everything that belongs to me — including all the exclusion and discrimination I've suffered over the years. I will repay you twofold!"
Loki said viciously.
