Loki’s departure from Thor was swift. Just as he reached the edge of the Bifrost, Thor managed to grab hold of Loki’s hand. Below them lay an endless waterfall plunging into the vertical abyss of the boundless cosmic sea. Without the protective energy of the Bifrost’s teleportation, anyone falling would face dire consequences.
As the pivotal link connecting Asgard to the universe, the end of the Bifrost provided a direct exit from Asgard into the cosmos.
However, without the Bifrost’s protective teleportation energy, even god-like beings such as Thor and his comrades might face misfortune during their descent. Therefore, at this mont, Thor had no choice but to tightly grasp Loki’s hand.
“Loki! Hold on tight, don’t let go!” Thor couldn’t help but shout as he saw Loki slipping slowly from his grasp.
Although Loki had spent his entire life pranking Thor and had even left him battered and bruised on nurous occasions, Loki was still Thor’s brother.
No matter how significant Loki’s mistakes had been, Thor loved him as a brother and hoped for his redemption. So, when Loki was on the verge of plumting into the endless starry expanse, Thor couldn’t bring himself to let go.
However, despite Thor’s firm grip, Loki, dangling from his arm, showed no intention of being rescued. First, he glanced down at the surging seawater below and the boundless galaxies further below, and then he lifted his head to look at Thor. In that gaze, there was no fear, only the sa calmness and a hint of disdain.
“Loki, you…”
Seeing Loki’s expression, Thor was puzzled. How could Loki still be like this at this mont? Moreover, Loki didn’t seem to want to be pulled up by Thor at all.
Exhale!
“Phantom Knight! Hurry, lend a hand!”
Loki slipped down a bit more, and Thor was on the verge of losing his grip. It was at this mont that Thor finally rembered he had teammates, and he shouted for their help. However, after Thor’s call for help, the expected assistance did not materialize.
Just as Thor called out for help, Loki, who was held by him, finally revealed a change in his expression. The previously calm face now displayed a wider smirk of disdain. Seeing Loki’s smirk, Thor suddenly seed to understand sothing.
At that mont when Thor was lost in thought, Loki, who was being held by him, suddenly lost his weight. Then, Loki dissolved into a golden light. It was an illusion, and Loki was a master at it.
Seeing this, Thor finally snapped out of his stupor. As he angrily rose to his feet, there was already the sound of a scuffle coming from the direction of the Bifrost control center.
It seed that Loki, who had successfully tricked Thor with his illusion, ultimately aid to enter the Bifrost control center. Right now, he was probably engaged in a battle with the Phantom Knight who stood in his way.
As Thor tightly gripped the hamr of the God of Thunder and turned around, he saw two figures in the high sky outside the Bifrost control center colliding violently.
Then, Loki, who had nearly brought tears to Thor’s eyes monts ago, took advantage of the collision’s force and flew directly into the Bifrost control room, eluding the others’ attempts to stop him.
Swish!
Thor, witnessing this scene, swung his hamr and rushed into the Bifrost control room. Between Thor’s charge and Loki’s entry, Phantom Knight, who had just clashed with Loki, had already rushed in ahead of him. Spider-Man and the others followed, but their expressions were rather strange.
Buzzing!
As Thor entered the Bifrost control room, he saw that Loki had already activated the teleportation channel. However, he was blocked by Phantom Knight and had not yet entered the teleportation portal. As Thor approached, Loki was engaged in a fierce battle with Phantom Knight.
Crash!
In a fierce clash, Phantom Knight was kicked away by Loki with great force. As Phantom Knight was sent flying, he happened to land in the direction Thor was rushing towards, allowing Thor to catch him with ease.
This brief act of catching Phantom Knight enabled Loki to approach the teleportation channel.
Glancing back at Thor, Loki’s expression remained calm. However, this ti, Thor did not see the usual disdain in Loki’s eyes but rather a different, unreadable expression. The next mont, just as Thor released Phantom Knight to pounce at Loki again, Loki had already entered the teleportation channel and vanished in an instant.
Whoosh!
Thor, who couldn’t teleport alongside Loki, could only watch helplessly as the teleportation channel rapidly dissipated, and Loki left Asgard. Once again, Loki had outsmarted him.
“Damn it! Loki!!” Faced with the disappearing teleportation channel, Thor cursed helplessly.
The Bifrost only revealed the destination to the one who initiated the teleportation; it didn’t retain any mory of the location. Therefore, Thor had no idea where Loki had been teleported to this ti, and it was impossible to reopen the portal to pursue him.
Despite the chaos Loki had caused during his brief takeover of Asgard in the past month, Thor had hoped to see Loki imprisoned in the most secure cell in Asgard. Thor knew that releasing Loki would potentially lead to more trouble in the future, given Loki’s mischievous nature.
“Phantom Knight! Are you okay?”
As Thor simred in anger over Loki’s escape, Spider-Man and the others rushed in and gathered around the Phantom Knight, expressing their concern. Lin Rui simply waved his hand silently.
Although Loki had not held back in their fight just now, Lin Rui had grown significantly in strength, and being kicked in the chest had left him a bit breathless but otherwise unhard.
“Phantom Knight, why did you…”
“Hush!”
Seeing that Lin Rui was unhard, Peter tried to ask sothing quietly but was interrupted by Lin Rui. Lin Rui knew what Peter wanted to ask, but now was not the ti for those questions.
“Phantom Knight, Loki has escaped! This ti, I thank you all for your help; otherwise, who knows what kind of chaos Loki would have caused in Asgard!” While still intermittently frustrated over Loki’s escape, Thor approached and spoke deeply to Lin Rui.
“Well, although we couldn’t capture him, at least we managed to drive him out of Asgard. As long as you remain vigilant, Loki shouldn’t pose any further threats to Asgard.” Lin Rui nodded and replied.
In their recent skirmish with Loki, Lin Rui had co to realize that Loki was still playing his role as the male protagonist seriously. Thus, he had been doing his best to cooperate, which explained why he had “accidentally” struck Thor earlier.
