Chapter 1113: Collaboration

Phew!

“J.A.R.V.I.S., have you shared the analysis results with Rogers?” Already at the edge of the battlefield, Tony looked at the figure suspended in mid-air ahead of him and asked J.A.R.V.I.S.

“I’ve sent all the target’s data over, and Captain Rogers acknowledges receiving it,” J.A.R.V.I.S. quickly replied to Tony’s inquiry.

“Alright, that’s good. Well then… it’s time for us to let Jackson blow off some steam!”

Swish, Swish, Swish!

Following that, Tony led the dozens of Iron Man suits behind him and charged forward.

However, due to Loki’s use of that mysterious small blade to sever the laser beams and easily breach the defenses of the colossal Iron Man suit earlier, Tony wouldn’t truly rush up to Loki for a face-to-face battle. An Iron Man suit might withstand being stabbed, but Tony Stark’s life was quite valuable.

Meanwhile, above Tony’s Iron Man fleet, SHIELD’s fighter jets had already arrived at the battlefield. After receiving the information provided by J.A.R.V.I.S., Rogers also formulated a corresponding response to this situation.

“Dr. Banner, this time we might need your help. Are you on board?” Standing at the Quinjet’s window and looking down at the charred battlefield below, Captain Rogers turned to Dr. Banner beside him and asked.

“You mean you need the Hulk, right?” Upon hearing Rogers’ words, Dr. Banner posed a question in return.

“Um…”

“Haha, don’t worry. If needed, I’ll have Hulk lend a hand. His mood has been good lately, and he’d be willing to help,” Seeing Rogers somewhat embarrassed, Dr. Banner suddenly chuckled.

“Alright, thanks in advance. Originally, these tasks weren’t meant for you, Dr. Banner,” Captain Rogers expressed his gratitude.

Subsequently, Rogers organized SHIELD’s special ops team to deploy, including the mobile squad that had emerged during the initial response to the Dark Elf invasion.

The first appearance of the mobile squad coincided with the Dark Elves’ attack, and while Dark Elf warriors were formidable, the mobile squad members were also quite skilled, playing a significant role in that battle.

Hence, this time, knowing that the target hailed from the mysterious extraterrestrial realm of Asgard, Rogers brought the mobile squad along. Confronting such superhuman beings, the usual teams would merely become cannon fodder.

Of course, apart from the mobile squad, the Avengers members would also seize the opportunity to take action.

As for Dr. Banner, he would step in when none of the others managed to deal with the target. After all, despite Dr. Banner’s assurance of Hulk’s improved mood, nobody could predict how Hulk would behave in the heat of the moment.

Therefore, as Lin Rui and Tony poked their heads out of the crater, they saw Loki suspended not far away in mid-air. Dozens of Iron Man suits and a mobile squad were swiftly converging on him.

As the Iron Man suits and mobile squad closed in on Loki, a barrage of firepower erupted, instantly shrouding Loki’s location.

Boom, Boom, Boom!

…

“Thor, aren’t you worried? Loki is, after all, your brother.” Leaning against the edge of the crater, Lin Rui looked at the explosions in mid-air and asked Thor beside him.

Hearing Lin Rui’s words, Thor, also leaning at the edge of the crater, gazed calmly at the explosions, “Worried? Considering the pranks Loki has pulled on me since we were young, it’s better not to invest too much emotion in him. Otherwise, you never know when he’ll deceive you.”

“Moreover, even though Loki isn’t… he’s still an Asgardian. We Asgardians are different from your Earthlings since our origins are different. Despite your formidable firepower, you’re still not capable of inflicting lethal damage on him. So, there’s nothing much to worry about.” Faced with Lin Rui’s question, Thor answered in a placid tone.

Hearing Thor’s reply, Lin Rui didn’t disagree. While Thor didn’t explicitly state it, based on what Lin Rui originally knew, he understood the meaning behind Thor’s words.

However, Thor was right. Even with Tony and the others’ formidable firepower, given Loki’s Asgardian physique, they truly had no certainty about the extent of harm they could inflict.

“It seems I still need to worry about my friends…,” Lin Rui’s gaze returned to the explosion-filled sky, his tone turning serious after hearing Thor’s response.

Although Lin Rui was confident in Tony and the others’ capabilities and knew from his memories of the plot that Loki wasn’t typically a match for the Avengers, reality often diverged from what he knew, especially considering the significant differences at play now.

According to the plot Lin Rui was familiar with, in the storyline of “Thor 1,” Loki fell from the Bifrost, later faced countless perils, and even incurred the wrath of the universe’s annihilator, Thanos.

Seeking retribution against Thor, Loki shared information about the Space Stone’s location on Earth with Thanos and even borrowed the assistance of Thanos’ Chitauri soldiers to attack the planet.

However, in the reality Lin Rui was experiencing, Thor’s divine powers hadn’t fully recovered yet, and the Aether had already emerged. The Dark Elves had also made their mark. In other words, the storyline of “Thor 1” was still unfolding, while “Thor 2” had already concluded.

Additionally, Loki’s behavior differed from what Lin Rui had anticipated. Thus, the situation where Loki couldn’t contend with the Avengers, as portrayed in the original plot, might not necessarily hold true in the current reality.

Boom, Boom, Boom!

Thunk!

Just as Lin Rui and Thor chatted at the edge of the crater, a deafening sound suddenly erupted from the center of the explosions in mid-air. Then, a figure dashed out from the fiery explosion.

Apart from Loki, no one else emerged. However, Loki appeared more disheveled now compared to before. Evidently, even though Loki had managed to release defensive magic in time, it hadn’t fully protected him from the fierce onslaught of Tony and the SHIELD mobile squad’s firepower.

With his staff tightly clenched in hand, Loki emerged from the center of the explosion, his gaze sweeping over the surrounding Iron Man suits and mobile operatives. In the next instant, a fierce gleam flashed in Loki’s eyes.

With a swish, Loki vanished on the spot. Almost simultaneously, a figure appeared behind one of the mobile operatives. It was Loki, who had just vanished.

Upon Loki’s disappearance, both the mobile operatives and J.A.R.V.I.S. surrounding him grew vigilant. Therefore, when Loki reappeared behind one of the operatives, the operative’s response was rapid.

He swiftly turned around and unleashed a powerful whip kick at Loki.

Thunk!
