Heroes of Marvel Chapter 1099: Loki?

Chapter 1099: Loki?

Originally, the reason why Lin Rui suddenly proposed to fight Tony was still related to the affairs of the Sorcerers. Lin Rui wanted to see how far Thor’s strength had progressed, and if Thor’s power had become strong enough, Lin Rui might consider seeking Thor’s help for the crisis faced by the Sorcerers.

However, at the moment, although Thor had defeated Lin Rui, his displayed strength was still far from posing a threat to Dormammu. Therefore, Lin Rui truly had to give up getting involved in the matters of the Sorcerers.

Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Thor’s expression changed slightly. Obviously, Thor was somewhat concerned about Lin Rui saying that his strength was insufficient. However, Thor also understood that, with his current awakened powers, he truly couldn’t deal with someone on Dormammu’s level.

“Jackson, why do you keep helping the Sorcerers?” When Thor’s expression changed, Jack, who had just helped Lin Rui up, couldn’t help but ask.

If we were to talk about the relations.h.i.+p between Jack, who had studied magic with Dr. Strange and Wong, and the Sorcerers, it should be closer. However, due to the incident of Lin Rui being seriously injured, Jack had cut off contact with the Sorcerers.

While Lin Rui’s companions had all severed their ties with the Sorcerers for his sake, Lin Rui was still thinking about how to help them, and that was something Jack couldn’t understand.

“Well… I have my reasons. Besides, if something really happens to the Sorcerers, Earth’s fate won’t be good either.” Hearing Jack’s question, Lin Rui could only offer a simple explanation.

Lin Rui also knew that his eager efforts to help the Sorcerers would surely seem strange to his companions. But he couldn’t tell them that it was all because of the system’s mainline mission. So, he could only explain it this way.

“Jackson, if you really want to help them, I can ask Asgard to provide some a.s.sistance.” After Lin Rui’s explanation, Tony thought for a moment and spoke up.

Earlier, when they were at the apartment, Thor had only listened to what Lin Rui said about the Sorcerers but hadn’t thought about helping them. Now that Thor knew the reason why Lin Rui had suddenly asked him to fight, he had some other thoughts about Lin Rui’s apparent dilemma in wanting to help the Sorcerers.

After all, although Thor’s strength hadn’t fully recovered yet, there were individuals in Asgard even stronger than him.

“Huh?! How did I not think of that before!” Upon hearing Thor’s words, Lin Rui’s eyes lit up with surprise, and he called out in delight.

Indeed, Lin Rui hadn’t considered seeking Asgard’s help before, as he had never thought of coming to chat with Thor until today. But hearing Thor’s words now, Lin Rui suddenly felt hopeful. If Asgard was willing to lend a hand, he believed they would have a much stronger force to deal with Dormammu.

“Will Asgard really help?” After the excitement, Lin Rui looked at Thor again and asked earnestly.

“Uh… They should… After all, I also…” Hearing Lin Rui’s further inquiry, Thor became somewhat uncertain, but he still gave an answer.

Bang!

However, just as Thor was halfway through his reply, he suddenly collapsed on the ground as if he had been struck by something. Seeing this scene before him, Lin Rui was stunned for a moment and looked at Jack, who was right in front of him.

There were only three people present, and with Lin Rui being severely injured and unable to move, the only one who could silently knock Thor back down was Jack.

“It wasn’t me…” Noticing Lin Rui looking at him with a strange expression, Jack gave an equally odd explanation.

“Then who…?”

Hoo!

Just as Lin Rui and Jack were puzzled about why Thor suddenly plunged his head into the ground, the now upright Thor quickly pulled his head out and shook off the shattered crystals that had been crushed on his forehead. Then, he climbed back up from the ground.

“Loki! Are you up to your usual mischief again?!” Standing up, Thor glared with anger as his gaze scanned around the large crater while loudly shouting.

The sudden incident where Thor’s head was slammed into the ground wasn’t Jack acting secretly, nor was it Thor inexplicably diving headfirst. Instead, it was an ambush by a force Thor had been familiar with since childhood— the second prince of Asgard, the G.o.d of Mischief: Loki!

“Loki? Who is that?”

“Loki?! Is he here?”

Faced with Thor’s sudden angry shout, Jack and Lin Rui had completely different reactions. Jack had no idea who Loki was, while Lin Rui was already very familiar with the name. Moreover, there was a hint of wariness in his heart. Back when Lin Rui’s strength wasn’t strong enough, he had been warned by Loki.

Although Lin Rui’s strength had greatly improved now, he still didn’t think he could defeat the G.o.d of Mischief. The critical point was that his current condition was not good, and if Loki were to cause trouble for him, the current Thor wouldn’t be able to stop him either.

As for Jack, Lin Rui didn’t have much hope for him either. So, after Thor shouted out that name, Lin Rui was already rapidly contemplating how to deal with Loki if he really showed up.

Bang!

While Lin Rui and Jack had different expressions and were looking around just like Thor, the upright Thor was suddenly struck by something inexplicably again. However, this time, Thor seemed to be prepared. Although he was. .h.i.t, he didn’t fall and only swayed a bit. Moreover, after being hit, Thor retaliated.

Zzzap!

As Thor stumbled, a faint glimmer of electricity flickered in his eyes, and he quickly swung his hand, releasing two arcs of electricity toward the two directions in the crater. Obviously, Thor judged that the person who ambushed him was in one of those two directions.

Bang! Bang!

The next moment, the two arcs of electricity struck the bottom of the crater again, creating two smaller craters. However, no enemy appeared there. It seemed that the result of his attack didn’t come as a surprise to Thor. He stood upright once more, his gaze sharp as he looked around, and more arcs of electricity began to surge from his body.

“Indeed… Thor hasn’t fully unleashed his strength yet…” Seeing Thor’s sudden reaction, Lin Rui, who had also stood up with Jack’s help, felt somewhat helpless and commented.

Crackling!

Without finding the enemy’s whereabouts, Thor’s lightning gradually dispersed in all directions.

The atmosphere became tense as everyone remained on guard, not knowing when Loki would make his move. The antic.i.p.ation of a battle against the G.o.d of Mischief filled the air, and the trio of heroes prepared themselves for whatever challenge might come their way.

The situation had taken an unexpected turn, and they could only wait and brace themselves for the confrontation that was about to unfold.
