Li Ang: Get ready to fly! Loki: I'm so angry I'm shivering!

"It seems you are quite satisfied."

Li Ang held his teacup and gently blew on the floating green tea leaves.

"Now that the deal is done, are you planning to spend the night here, or get out of here before the rain stops?"

Loki chuckled softly, then suddenly drew his sword from his waist, the long blade pointing diagonally at the ground, his posture both elegant and unrestrained.

"Shopkeeper, you may be a good businessman, but you have made the biggest mistake."

Loki's pupils reflected the chilling glint of a blade. "That's how a greedy god was given a weapon he couldn't refuse."

"Oh?" Li Ang put down his teacup. "For example?"

"For example, right now, shatter, you illusion, you mirage!"

With a low groan from Loki, the air in the entire shop was instantly sucked away.

Then, like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, it creates wild, rippling waves.

Ding.

That was the sound of a blade returning to its sheath, yet it resonated deep within everyone's soul.

"what!"

Natasha, who had been holding a broom and intending to watch the show, suddenly screamed. Her eyes went unfocused and became empty and filled with fear.

In her eyes, the cozy gashapon shop had disappeared, replaced by a red room.

Countless expressionless coaches walked towards her, holding blood-stained whips, the air thick with the smell of formaldehyde.

That was a nightmare buried deep in her heart.

"No...don't come any closer!"

Natasha's body trembled. She even forgot to transform and instinctively huddled in the corner, frantically waving the broom in her hand.

On the other hand, Banner's situation was even worse.

The honest man's skin turned green, his size increased, and his eyes were filled with fear and anger.

What he saw was not a red house, but a sky full of gods and Buddhas.

Those golden Buddhas were glaring at him angrily, each chant sounding like a judgment on his sins.

"Hulk, I refuse!" Hulk's teeth chattered, and the brocade robe on his body let out a series of mournful cries.

The two enhanced employees, faced with the illusory nature of the Shikai, were as fragile as two blank sheets of paper, their reason instantly torn apart.

Loki watched this scene and laughed without restraint.

The thrill of manipulating others almost made him groan.

He finally fixed his gaze on Li Ang.

According to the plan, the mysterious shop owner should now be kneeling on the ground, weeping bitterly, or offering his loyalty, just like the female agent.

However, when Loki saw Li Ang's condition, his smile froze.

The man behind the counter remained in the same position, sitting steadily on the swivel chair.

He showed no fear; in fact, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate under the counter and cracked them open with practiced ease.

crunch.

Li Ang spat the sunflower seed shells into the trash can.

"this one?"

Li Ang dusted off his hands, looked up, and his dark eyes were clear as a mirror, showing no signs of being hypnotized.

"impossible!"

Loki's elegance vanished, and the Mirror Flower Water Moon in his hand trembled once more.

"You absolutely witnessed the initial release! You said no one can escape the complete hypnosis of illusion, not even the Father of the Gods!"

"Don't compare me to that old man, Bitden."

Leon stretched lazily, somewhat bored. "Loki, I thought that as a god, you should at least know some rules."

"None of the abilities I gained at this store have any effect on me."

"Kneel down!" Loki roared, his longsword transforming into a blur as he slashed down fiercely at Li Ang.

Just as the blade was only three centimeters away from Li Ang's forehead, time seemed to stand still.

A dark red streak of light flashed past Li Ang.

The originally sharp and incomparably powerful Mirror Flower Water Moon emitted a mournful sound like shattered glass the moment it touched Li Ang's aura.

Click!

That was the sound of the phantom shattering.

Loki felt a pressure ten times more terrifying than Odin's rebounding back along the hilt of his sword.

The feeling was like a toddler trying to smash a towering mountain with a plastic toy hammer.

"puff!"

Loki's chest caved in an inch, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood. His body flew backward and slammed hard against the wooden door of the shop.

But he couldn't stop.

The backlash was like a drill, frantically churning his nerves.

His eyes were bloodshot, and blood was oozing from his nose and ears.

What broke his heart even more was that a hideous crack had appeared on the blade of the Mirror Flower Water Moon sword in his hand.

Do you want to dance too?

Li Ang put down his teacup and slowly stood up.

"Store...store manager..."

Loki managed to squeeze out a few words, his eyes filled with extreme fear, the fervor in them long since replaced by sheer terror.

He regretted it.

Why did he provoke this monster?

You won't have a chance to drink this cup of tea.

Li Ang walked up to Loki, looking down at him with no pity in his eyes.

"Weak God."

Li Ang snapped his fingers lightly.

hum!

The entire gashapon shop space was violently crumpled by an invisible giant hand, and then instantly flattened out.

Before Loki could react, he was struck in the abdomen by an irresistible force.

Bang!

The gashapon shop's door suddenly sprang open without warning.

Loki was thrown out like trash, tracing a pathetic arc through the air before flying toward a desolate planet.

Boom!

With a dull thud, the god of mischief crashed face down onto the ground.

Several passing Chitauri soldiers stopped and watched the man struggle in the puddle.

"What are you looking at! Get away from me! You lowly reptiles!"

Loki scrambled out of the mud, half his face now covered in mud, the other half contorted in a grimace.

He didn't bother wiping away the bloodstains and hurriedly picked up the Gurongi serum from the muddy water.

He looked up at the rapidly dissipating gashapon shop, the resentment in his eyes solidifying into a tangible form.

"Li Ang... a man from the Central Court..."

Loki trembled as he sheathed the half-finished mirror image.

The humiliation and anger had completely driven him to lose his mind.

He gripped the dark red serum in his hand, glanced at the several Zeta Swiss soldiers peering curiously from the shadows not far away, and a cruel smile appeared on his lips.

"Do you want to... become gods?"

With those words gone, he vanished into the shadows, carrying with him his lingering arrogance.

……

Inside the shop.

Snapped!

Li Ang snapped his fingers.

"Still not awake? If you don't wake up soon, tonight's midnight snack is canceled."

The soft sound was like a thunderclap, shattering the gloom that had been lingering in their senses.

"Ha... Hoo!"

Natasha was panting heavily, her whole body was soaked in cold sweat, and her red hair was stuck to her temples, making her look extremely disheveled.

She looked around with lingering fear and realized that she was still in the store, still clutching the broken broom in her hand.

"What was that just now...?"

She turned to look at Banner and found him leaning weakly against the counter, his eyes filled with fear.

Don't worry, you'll get used to it.

Li Ang sat back down in his swivel chair and continued to calmly drink his tea.

Natasha opened her mouth, but could only manage a bitter smile.

She looked down at the Kamen Rider belt in her hand.

She originally thought that with this power she could do whatever she wanted on the battlefield, but just now in front of Loki, she didn't even have a chance to make a move.

"Manager, I suddenly feel..."

Natasha looked at Li Ang with a serious expression, "Two million US dollars really isn't enough."

"It's a good thing to be aware of things."

"Sweep the floor first, Natasha."

Li Ang smiled and said, "Oh, by the way, remember to deduct the cost of the floor you damaged from your first month's salary."

Natasha: "..."

She swore that this shopkeeper was far more evil than Loki, who wanted to rule the world!

……

at the same time.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. Project Pegasus underground laboratory, located far away in Washington, D.C.

Nick sat in front of a pile of sophisticated instruments, his single eye filled with solemnity.

Just now, the Cosmic Cube, which had been running smoothly, suddenly erupted with an unprecedented energy surge.

"The data isn't out yet, Hill?"

"Sir, the peak energy level is impossible to estimate!"

Agent Hill frantically typed on the keyboard, "It's connecting...it's forcibly establishing coordinates that don't belong to this galaxy!"

In the center of the laboratory, Professor Eric, who had been staring at the Rubik's Cube, suddenly stopped what he was doing.

He slowly turned around.

Those once wise eyes had turned a bizarre green.

A stiff smile appeared on his lips, and a hoarse sound, not his own, escaped his throat:

"The door...is open."

boom!

A blue beam of light shot into the sky, piercing through the earth's crust.

Inside the gashapon shop, Li Ang paused slightly in the teacup he was holding.

He turned his head to look at the distant horizon outside the window, where a flash of blue light disappeared in an instant.

"Has it started?"

"System upgrade!"

"Looks like we need some more exciting local specialties here."
