"Quiz completed. Now playing the answer analysis!"
Before long, the system's prompt sounded, and a related video began to play on the big screen.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Fierce artillery fire constantly launched from various places, relentlessly bombarding one of the spacecraft.
The initial scene was clearly an aerial chase.
"This is... Asgard?"
Loki's pupils constricted slightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. Could Asgard have been invaded?
Because the spacecraft wreaking havoc over Asgard was not an Asgardian ship at all!
"It's a Dark Elf ship!"
Captain America couldn't help but say in a deep voice.
They had all seen footage of the Dark Elves invading Asgard, so they recognized the ship at a glance.
"Dark Elves? So they really did run rampant in Asgard!" Loki's face began to darken slightly.
Despite knowing his true identity, Loki had always considered himself a son of Odin, a citizen of Asgard!
Seeing Asgard invaded by the Dark Elves in the future naturally filled him with anger.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Asgard's "city defense cannons" on various city walls continuously fired at the Dark Elf ship.
Not only that, but Asgardian ships also chased after it, constantly firing.
But what no one expected was that with a quick cut, the person piloting the Dark Elf ship appeared before everyone.
It was none other than Thor!
And standing beside Thor was Loki!
"This is just brilliant, truly amazing!" Loki stood beside Thor, his voice dripping with sarcasm, "Why don't we just steal the biggest, most conspicuous ship in the universe! Then escape in it!"
"We'll drive it all over the city, crashing into everything, so everyone can see us! So clever, Thor!"
With these two sentences from Loki, everyone understood the general gist of what was happening in Asgard.
It was clear that Thor, for some reason, intended to escape Asgard.
But his escape was too high-profile; he drove the Dark Elf ship recklessly, attracting a torrent of sarcasm from Loki.
"Thor, heh heh!"
The Loki in front of the screen also showed a sneer on his face, "When will he ever learn to use his brain?"
On the screen, Thor, seemingly unable to bear Loki's incessant chatter any longer, punched Loki off the ship.
This made both Loki and everyone present pause, because why would Thor knock Loki out just for a few nagging words?
That wasn't Thor's style!
Indeed.
The next moment, Thor picked up an unconscious woman on the ship and then leaped off the ship himself.
Below, on the river, another small Asgardian ship steadily caught Thor.
Clearly, this was Thor's plan.
That high-profile Dark Elf ship was just a diversion to attract Asgard's attention.
This ship was the one Thor truly intended to use for his escape.
"Surprising." Loki was slightly taken aback, "Thor actually used his brain!"
"Hahahaha!" Laughter came from the screen, and a man in armor stood on the ship, laughing at Loki who had fallen onto the ship, "You're still as elegant as ever, Loki, after being locked up for so long!"
"You tricked me, quite impressive." Loki ignored the armored man and spoke to Thor with a look of surprise.
His expression was almost identical to the Loki in front of the screen.
"As long as you're satisfied." Thor said to Loki without looking back, while tending to Jane Foster, "Keep your promise, take us to the secret passage you mentioned."
—That's right, the woman Thor brought with him was Jane Foster.
Loki didn't say much and began to personally operate the spaceship. During this process, Loki's handcuffs were displayed before everyone.
Loki was actually in handcuffs!
It was unclear what the situation was.
Thus, after shaking off the other pursuing ships, Loki piloted the ship into the vast mountains of Asgard, surprisingly heading towards the mountain itself.
It was as if he had given up on life and wanted to crash to his death.
"Loki!" Thor's face showed a hint of surprise and tension as he called out from the side.
"If it were that easy, everyone would be able to do it." Loki, however, calmly said to Thor.
He just drove the ship and slammed it hard into the mountain.
Crashing into an incredibly narrow fissure!
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
The sides of the ship scraped against the mountain, creating a long trail of intense energy and fire, truly a "perfect fit."
Everyone present couldn't help but glance at Loki, secretly clicking their tongues. This guy was indeed a madman, capable of such crazy things.
If there had been even the slightest deviation, wouldn't it have resulted in a direct crash and death?
How did he manage to squeeze into such a tiny gap?
Such a heart-stopping, life-risking feat, most people wouldn't dare to attempt it.
"Great." The Loki in front of the screen, however, was calm, indicating that this was just a basic maneuver, nothing to be surprised about, "Now, Asgard's secret passage, which only I knew, has been exposed."
This scene thoroughly convinced Loki of the quiz system.
Because that secret passage was indeed known only to him, and he had never told anyone else!
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
On the screen, as the spaceship flew at high speed, a halo similar to the Bifrost teleportation enveloped it.
When the light became extremely dazzling, Thor's spaceship disappeared.
The next moment.
Within a vast, endless, starless, moonless, dark world.
Undoubtedly, it was the Dark World.
Boom!
A spaceship broke through space and burst out, it was Thor and their ship.
At this point, the camera switched.
Thor was seen escorting the handcuffed Loki, along with Jane Foster, the three of them walking unsteadily on a mountain path.
At this moment, a group of figures appeared in the distance.
Loki didn't recognize who those people were, but everyone in front of the screen recognized them all. They were none other than Malekith, the Cursed Warrior, and a group of other Dark Elf leaders.
"Are you ready?" Thor asked Jane Foster with a concerned expression.
Jane Foster still looked visibly nervous, but she nodded.
"I'm ready!" Loki, on the other hand, interjected.
"This lousy plan of yours will eventually get both of us killed!" Immediately after, Loki stood on the mountaintop, looking at Malekith in the distance, and said to Thor.
"Perhaps." Thor stared intently at Malekith, replying without turning his head.
"Do you still not trust me, brother?" Loki extended his hands, signaling Thor to unlock his shackles.
"Would you?" Thor retorted, staring at Loki, but still unlocked Loki's handcuffs.
"No, I wouldn't!" Loki flexed his wrists, then sneered.
He flipped his hand, pulled out a dagger, and plunged it into Thor's abdomen.
"Ugh!"
Thor painfully rolled down the hillside.
Loki also chased after him, a cold expression on his face: "Did you really think I cared about Frigga, or any of you?"
By this time, Malekith had arrived with the Cursed Warrior and his men in front of Thor and Loki, but he didn't interrupt them, just stood by and watched the show.
"All I want is to see you and Odin die at my feet!" Loki roared angrily at Thor.
Thor, struggling on the ground, reached out his hand and began to summon his hammer.
Whoosh!
The hammer, as always, was loyal and reliable, flying towards Thor from a distance.
But just as the hammer was about to reach Thor's hand, Loki, with a swift movement, brought down his dagger and brutally chopped off Thor's right hand, which was summoning the hammer!
Thor clutched his right hand, curled up on the ground, and wailed.
"Is that Thor?"
"Is the acting that realistic?"
Whether it was Loki, Tony Stark, Captain America, or anyone else, their faces showed surprise, as if they didn't recognize him.
If they hadn't known beforehand that Thor was faking it, anyone would have believed this scene was real.
Thor's painful wails, the agonizingly twisted expression on his face, the shocked and despairing look in his eyes—all flowed naturally and seamlessly, without any trace of artifice, truly a performance worthy of an acting award.
"I never would have guessed Thor had such potential!" Black Widow was the first to exclaim in admiration.
Everyone else wholeheartedly agreed.
"Malekith!" Loki's voice rang out, and he grabbed Jane Foster, pushing her roughly in front of Malekith.
"I am Loki of Jotunheim, and I bring you a great gift!" Loki said to Malekith with a serious expression, "My reward is simple: let me watch Asgard turn to ashes."
"He is an enemy of Asgard." The Cursed Warrior said to Malekith after hearing this, "He was also imprisoned in their dungeons."
This sentence conveyed two important pieces of information.
First, Loki was imprisoned by Asgard, which might explain the handcuffs on Loki's hands.
Perhaps Thor brought Loki directly out of prison.
Second, the Cursed Warrior, a Dark Elf, knew who was imprisoned in Asgard's dungeons!
This was clearly not normal.
Considering the Dark Elves' invasion of Asgard had an element of internal breach, it was highly likely that this Cursed Warrior was one of the spies who infiltrated Asgard.
Or the leader in charge of the matter.
And after hearing the Cursed Warrior's words, Malekith lowered his guard, ignored the crippled Thor, and walked over to Jane Foster.
He casually gestured at Jane Foster, and she immediately floated beside Malekith.
Under Malekith's control, the Aether particles lurking within Jane Foster's body all began to emerge from her.
"Loki, now!"
Thor, who had been lying on the ground wailing in pain, suddenly scrambled to his feet and yelled at Loki.
Loki immediately waved his hand at Thor, a flash of light passed over Thor's body, and his severed right hand reappeared.
Immediately after, Thor summoned his hammer, and with a crackle, shot dazzling lightning at the Aether particles temporarily suspended in the air.
During this process, one of Loki's subconscious actions made everyone present look at him with a bit of newfound respect.
Loki immediately rushed towards Jane Foster, shielding her beneath him!
It was a completely natural, subconscious reaction.
This was somewhat different from the cold and ruthless Loki everyone had previously imagined.
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
Under the power of lightning, the Aether particles began to surge wildly, like living things, and then exploded with a bang.
Disappearing.
As the video reached this point, everyone understood the reason why Thor had gone to such great lengths to orchestrate all these events.
Clearly, it was to destroy the Aether.
To destroy the Dark Elves' secret weapon!
And the plan had actually succeeded, which couldn't help but make everyone present look at Thor in a new light. It seemed Thor wasn't just a brute who only knew how to swing his hammer.
The future Thor also knew how to use his brain!
Squeak! Squeak! Squeak! Squeak!
But soon, everyone's expressions changed, because the sound of the Aether actually rang out again.
Could it be... the Aether hadn't been destroyed?
What everyone feared happened: the scattered fragments of the Aether in the air actually re-formed into the Aether, and Malekith absorbed it into his body!
"What exactly is that thing, that even Thor couldn't destroy it!" Loki's face in front of the screen was filled with solemnity.
After absorbing the Aether, Malekith couldn't be bothered with Thor and the others at all, and directly led the Cursed Warrior and his group away.
As if Thor was just an insignificant character.
How could Thor just let Malekith leave?
He swung his hammer and flew towards Malekith.
Bang!
But the Cursed Warrior turned around and punched, instantly sending Thor flying backward.
"Who is this guy?"
Loki was slightly dumbfounded. This guy's combat power was a bit too terrifying, wasn't it?
Needless to say, the Cursed Warrior then led a group of Dark Elves to surround and attack Thor, Loki, and the others, and a great battle erupted between the two sides.
Loki and Thor, the two brothers, fought side by side!
This scene still gave everyone present a strange feeling.
After all, Loki had always been seen as a villain in everyone's eyes.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
In the fierce battle, Thor was quickly knocked to the ground by the Cursed Warrior, who then relentlessly pounded him, leaving him utterly defenseless and in a truly gruesome state.
It looked like Thor was about to be beaten beyond recognition by the Cursed Warrior.
Swoosh!
A long sword directly pierced the Cursed Warrior's chest from behind, entering his back and exiting his front, a truly chilling sight.
But the Cursed Warrior was truly abnormal; he seemed completely unaffected by this fatal blow.
He just turned around and hugged Loki.
Swoosh!
The long sword in the Cursed Warrior's chest also pierced Loki's chest.
Loki then fell limply to the ground.
