Loki: Shatter, illusion! Is this what you call magic?

"Asgard...Prince?"

Upon hearing this address, Natasha's initial excitement cooled, and a look of wariness appeared in her eyes.

Although she had never directly confronted the people from Asgard, she knew that they had recently been wreaking havoc here.

Her fingers hooked into the belt buckle, ready to activate the transformation she had just deactivated.

"Don't be nervous, Natasha."

A hand gently rested on her shoulder.

Li Ang had somehow walked around the counter, still holding that exquisite teacup in his hand. "As long as you can afford it, everyone who comes to the shop is a customer."

"But manager, this guy's body..." Natasha frowned; Loki's gaze made her very uncomfortable.

"I know, it smells a bit like rats from the sewers."

Li Ang waved his hand, signaling her to step back. "Go sweep the floor. That's an order."

Natasha: "..."

She glared at Li Ang, but in the end, she still angrily grabbed the broom.

Loki's eye twitched slightly as he stood at the doorway.

mouse?

This lowly shopkeeper of Midgard dares to compare his noble god of mischief, the rightful heir of Asgard, to a rat?

If he weren't wary of the shop owner's power, he would have razed this place to the ground with a single stroke of his scepter.

"snort."

Loki suppressed the murderous intent in his eyes, and the illusion magic around him fluctuated.

The once-appropriate suit was gone, replaced by the iconic dark green divine leather armor and an exaggerated pair of golden curved helmets on his head.

Since we've been exposed, there's no need to pretend anymore.

"Mortal, your judgment is not bad."

Loki held his chin high, his ingrained arrogance making him look down on everyone. "As for this woman..."

He glanced at Natasha, who was holding a broom.

"Insects of this caliber are not even worthy of my attention."

Click.

Natasha's broom handle was so tightly squeezed that it cracked.

"Yeah?"

Natasha sneered and tossed the broken broom aside.

"If you're really that strong, why don't you go and challenge your brother with the hammer to a one-on-one fight?"

"Oh, so he just happened to be out of the shop, and you just happened to be here."

This one sentence is a perfect example of how to avoid making a mistake.

Loki's once elegant face flushed red, his expression like that of a cat whose tail had been stepped on.

"Shut up! That muscle-headed idiot has no idea what the art of domination is!"

The energy fluctuations in Loki's Mind Scepter began to stir, but were quickly suppressed by an invisible force.

"If you want to fight, go outside and fight."

Li Ang gently tapped the counter. "Fighting is strictly prohibited in this store. Damaged items will be compensated tenfold."

"I've heard Asgard is teeming with artifacts. I wonder if our God of Mischief has even a single coin in his pocket?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the row of colorful gashapon machines by the wall.

Provocation tactic.

It's a very basic technique, but it works well for Loki right now.

Especially in front of a woman who had just mocked him.

"Money? That kind of thing means nothing to God."

Loki chuckled, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. "But since I'm in your primitive society, I'll do as the Romans do."

He pulled a black card from his pocket and casually tossed it onto the counter.

That's Professor Eric Selvig's pay card.

The poor old professor not only had his mind controlled, but his life savings were also about to be robbed.

"Give me that number... the so-called intermediate gacha, ten times."

Loki straightened his collar.

"readily!"

Li Ang's eyes lit up, and his fingers flew across the POS machine.

Beep! Card swipe successful.

Loki walked up to the gashapon machine in the middle, looking at the colorful plastic balls inside, feeling a sense of absurdity.

He, the great Loki, was actually going to entrust his fate to such a child's toy?

"Luck? That's the excuse of the weak." Loki sneered and pressed the button for a ten-pull.

Snap, gurgle.

Loki raised his hand and opened one, releasing a rich aroma of wine.

[Item: Unlimited Asgardian Mead]

[Description: The taste is acceptable, but drinking too much can easily lead to weight gain, and the bottom of the cup is engraved with the small words "Thor is the strongest."]

Loki stared at the rough wooden goblet in his hand, and when he saw the crooked writing at the bottom of the goblet, the veins on his forehead bulged.

"What kind of garbage is this?! Are you insulting me?!"

Snapped!

The wine glass was smashed on the ground, splashing wine everywhere.

"Look, you're in such a hurry again." Li Ang calmly ate sunflower seeds and watched the show.

Loki gritted his teeth and opened the second, third...

Click!

[Item: A screaming chicken]

[Description: Squeeze it, and it will emit a scream that would drive even the gods mad.]

Loki instinctively pinched it.

"Ooh!!!"

A piercing and mocking scream echoed throughout the shop.

"Pfft," Natasha couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Darcy Louis, standing next to Banner, also covered his mouth, a smile playing on his lips.

Loki's face turned green.

He, the number one mage in the Nine Realms, was holding a yellow rubber chicken in his hand. If this image got out, he could forget about ever sitting on the throne!

Click!

It seemed as if someone had overheard his thoughts and pressed the camera button.

Turning around, I saw it was Li Ang.

Loki: Calm down, calm down, we can't beat this one.

"continue!"

Loki's eyes reddened. He couldn't believe it; he couldn't believe that God's luck would be defeated by a machine!

Click!

【Item: Super Moose Plush Toy】

[Description: With these enormous antlers, you are the king of reindeer!]

Loki's hand trembled as he looked at the moose doll in his hand, which bore a striking resemblance to his helmet.

This is aimed at!

This is definitely targeted!

That shop owner is definitely pulling strings behind the scenes!

"That's enough!"

When Loki finally snapped when the eighth gashapon capsule yielded bubble gum that could only produce heart-shaped bubbles, he lost his temper.

The scepter of the mind points at Li Ang, and blue energy is poised to be unleashed.

"Mortal! You are mocking the gods! I will..."

"Generally speaking, the end of bad luck is the beginning of good luck. Are you sure you don't want to try one last two times?"

Li Ang didn't even look up; he simply pointed to the gashapon machine.

That confident tone made Loki's raging anger catch in his throat.

He stared intently at the machine, as if he were staring at a nemesis he had to defeat.

"it is good."

Loki spat out a single word through gritted teeth, "If these last two attempts are still garbage, I... I'll send all of you employees into the void!"

Click!

hum!

The water-like ripples spread through the air, making the originally dim light appear hazy and illusory.

Under this strange halo, there were no dazzling light effects, only an extremely ordinary Japanese longsword, quietly floating in front of Loki.

The handle is green, the guard is rectangular, and the blade is long and slender like a mirror.

"This is..." Loki frowned and reached out to grasp the hilt of the knife.

boom!

A massive and bizarre flow of information instantly flooded his mind.

It was a power system completely different from Asgardian magic.

【Zanpakuto: Kyoka Suigetsu (Shikai Trial Version - 2 uses remaining)】

[Description: The sword of the Shinigami Aizen Sousuke. Its ability is "Complete Hypnosis," which completely subjugates the senses of anyone who sees the Shikai of Kyoka Suigetsu.]

[Liberation slogan: Shatter, you illusion, you mirage.]

"Complete...hypnosis?"

Loki muttered to himself, his emerald green eyes gradually brightening.

His initial anger vanished without a trace, replaced by a fervent fascination with the priceless treasure.

Dominate the five senses? Deceive everything?

Isn't this the highest level of "trickery" that he has always been pursuing?

In comparison, his previous tricks of creating a few clones with illusions were practically magic shows!

"This knife, can it even deceive the gods?" Loki asked, stroking the cold blade, his voice trembling.

"Theoretically, once the initial release is seen, no one can escape," Li Ang shrugged. "Even Odin, the Allfather."

"Haha...hahahaha!"

Loki couldn't help but let out a low laugh, which grew louder and louder, revealing a hint of madness.

"Good! Excellent! This is what I deserve!"

He couldn't wait to open the last gashapon capsule.

Click.

The capsule toy opened, revealing a dark red test tube of medicine inside.

Gurongi gene serum

[Description: Genes from a warrior race of an ancient civilization. Injection can transform an organism into a Gurongi monster driven solely by bloodlust, significantly enhancing physical strength, regenerative abilities, and the instinct to kill.]

Loki looked at the vial of potion in his hand, which exuded a violent aura, and a crazy plan popped into his mind.

Although the Chitauri army was large in number, their individual combat capabilities were too weak, and they certainly could not defeat Thor.

What if... you gave those alien minions a shot of this?

"Fun toys."

Loki tucked the Mirror Flower Water Moon into his waistband and carefully put away the serum.

He turned around, straightened his cloak which had been disheveled by his earlier outburst, and resumed his elegant yet dangerous gentlemanly demeanor.

However, his hand remained on the mirror image, and his gaze kept drifting towards Li Ang.

"Complete hypnosis? It can even deceive the gods? Then..."
