Heroes of Marvel-Chapter 1118: Shocking

Pū!

The sharp blade pierced Hulk’s muscular chest, but it couldn’t penetrate the layer of green skin. It only slightly broke through the surface, leaving a shallow mark on Hulk’s chest. If this were an ordinary weapon, it wouldn’t have left the slightest trace on Hulk’s body.

“This can’t be!” Seeing that his small blade couldn’t even puncture the opponent’s skin, the expression on Loki’s face finally changed drastically as he shouted.

While Loki was stunned by the fact that his blade failed to pierce Hulk’s skin, the Hulk, who was tearing through the layers of magical energy, also felt a wave of pain in his chest. Though Loki’s small blade hadn’t breached Hulk’s skin, it continued to exert pressure. Given enough time, it might actually manage to break through.

“Roar!” Feeling the icy sensation in his chest, Hulk let out an angrier roar. 𝒃𝒆𝒅𝙣𝒐𝒗𝙚𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝒎

Rip!

Furthermore, as Hulk’s anger surged, his strength increased significantly. The faint green magical energy barrier that separated him from Loki was rapidly being torn apart. At this point, Hulk had already suppressed Loki above the desert and was about to crash down together with him.

“Impossible! How is this even possible?!” As he witnessed the giant before him tearing through his magical shield, Loki remained astonished.

Humming!

Just as Hulk tore apart the last remnants of the magical energy shield, Loki clenched his staff, preparing to unleash another immensely powerful spell. However, at the moment when intense magical fluctuations emanated from Loki and his staff, Hulk’s massive green arm swiftly extended.

Pū~

His powerful grip shattered the last invisible layer of magical defense in front of Loki. Hulk’s enormous hand reached for Loki.

…

On the dry desert ground, Lin Rui and Thor had been observing the battle in the sky for a while. With Lin Rui and Thor’s keen eyesight, even battles happening hundreds of meters away were clearly visible.

During the moment when Loki used his ultimate move to swiftly neutralize SHIELD’s mobile units and Tony’s Iron Man squad, Lin Rui couldn’t help but feel tense. On the other hand, Thor appeared quite unperturbed, for he understood just how formidable Loki’s power was.

The battle had been favoring Loki until the arrow Hawkeye fired broke through Loki’s defenses. Thor’s expression shifted slightly at that point, but he wasn’t overly concerned.

When Loki thrust his blade into Hawkeye’s chest and kicked him off the flying glider, Thor’s brows furrowed, and he sneakily cast a glance at Lin Rui. Seeing Lin Rui’s changing expression, Thor concluded that Loki’s arrival on Earth had indeed brought calamity.

Nevertheless, though Thor noticed Lin Rui’s distress when Hawkeye was stabbed, he knew from J.A.R.V.I.S.’s notification through Lin Rui’s earpiece that Hawkeye was fine— the blade hadn’t struck his heart, so he wouldn’t die.

“Would Loki actually hold back? After all, those mobile squads from earlier don’t seem to have suffered fatal injuries; they were just severely wounded.” Upon hearing J.A.R.V.I.S.’s reminder, Lin Rui pondered aloud.

Of course, Lin Rui didn’t dwell on it for long. As the battle progressed and Iron Man, who had activated his lifeform energy system, was wiped out alongside Falcon and Rogers, SHIELD finally revealed its trump card. Seeing the colossal figure leaping out of the Quinjet with a furious stance, Lin Rui felt that the battle was approaching its end.

Indeed, as Lin Rui remained composed and Thor looked on in astonishment, Hulk had obliterated Loki’s magical defenses and seized him. Together, they crashed into the desert not far from their position. The violent impact caused a minor tremor in the vicinity, and sand was sent billowing into the air upon impact.

“So… What’s the deal with that big green guy? You guys shouldn’t have something like that, right?” Observing the rising dust ahead, Thor turned to Lin Rui with a genuinely surprised tone.

Although only a few seconds had elapsed from the moment Hulk acted to when he tore through Loki’s magical defenses and smashed him into the ground, Thor noticed Hulk tearing through Loki’s magical barrier with his hands and Loki’s attempt to strike Hulk with the blade.

As a result, Thor was particularly curious about this gigantic green figure. After all, Loki was already one of the most powerful sorcerers in Asgard, surpassing all but the magical prowess of their Queen, Frigga.

Furthermore, Loki’s small blade was a divine tool on par with Thor’s Mj?lnir. If Loki were to strike Thor with that blade, he would definitely be injured— it wouldn’t just leave a few scratches on the skin as it did with Hulk.

“Are you telling me there’s nothing like that? How many Earthlings have you actually met?” Lin Rui raised an eyebrow in response to Thor’s unexpected question.

“Now, are you still unconcerned about Loki? Just now, his defenses were already breached. Let me remind you that this guy, not too long ago, slapped me into a serious injury with a single palm.” After his counter-question, Lin Rui followed up with a reminder.

“That’s true. This guy possesses considerable strength; he clearly outmatches Loki in terms of power and brute force. However, while Loki might get injured, it won’t be anything too severe. Otherwise, he wouldn’t be called the God of Mischief in Asgard. Perhaps that guy he threw into the ground a moment ago was merely an illusion; he’s done things like that before.” After hearing Lin Rui’s reminder, Thor shook his head and responded.

“I’m not sure about the illusion thing…” Seeing how relaxed Thor was, Lin Rui hesitated.

If they had fought for so long and finally managed to bring Loki to this point, only to find out that it was just an illusion, it would be quite disappointing.

However, regardless of the conversation between Lin Rui and Thor, the dust in the location where Hulk grabbed Loki and descended had almost dissipated.

After Hulk smashed into the ground with Loki, a few Iron Man suits, Falcon, and Captain Rogers also joined the scene. Upon spotting Lin Rui’s group on the ground, one of the Iron Man suits quickly flew over.

Huff~

The Iron Man suit landed smoothly before Lin Rui and then, in Lin Rui’s unsurprised gaze, its armor swiftly turned transparent, revealing Tony inside. The semi-mechanical lifeform armor was indeed quite astonishing.

“Tony, how’s Hawkeye?” As Tony walked over, Lin Rui asked about Hawkeye’s condition.

“He’s fine. I don’t know if it’s the difference between your Asgardian physiology and Earthlings’, but that strike didn’t hit his heart. A few days of Recovery Serum, and he’ll be back to bouncing around.” Responding quickly to Lin Rui’s inquiry, Tony cast a sidelong glance at Thor while talking.
