Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1171: Loki’s Move

Lin Rui and his team, emerging from the E-Grade Spaceship, didn’t pause in front of the two spaceships. Instead, they rapidly advanced toward Dormammu’s location.

In a previous battle, far from Earth, Lin Rui’s team had faced Dormammu with eight people, but now they were reduced to four. However, including Lin Rui, these four individuals showed no sign of fear as they charged forward.

“If… you are indeed just a fragment of Dormammu, then… maybe we have a chance!” Lin Rui silently contemplated as they rushed toward the swirling black mist ahead.

Boom!

In the next moment, a brilliant azure internal energy radiated from Lin Rui. Once again confronting Dormammu, Lin Rui immediately released his domain. With this, Lin Rui’s speed increased, and he charged toward Dormammu.

Simultaneously, Iceman, by Lin Rui’s side, had already left an icy crystal pathway in his path as he headed toward Dormammu. Behind Lin Rui, Thor was enveloped by countless thunderbolts, his speed slightly slower than Lin Rui and Iceman.

As for Loki, he halted in mid-flight. Suspended between the E-Grade Spaceship behind him and Dormammu ahead, Loki’s countenance was no longer as proud. Though his face remained cold, his eyes now held a hint of resignation.

“If it weren’t for the agreement with Ancient One… Ah! Forget it! We must take action!” Loki muttered to himself as he floated in place. In the end, he sighed deeply.

As Loki concluded his self-reflection, his gaze regained determination. Even if there were no agreements between Loki and Ancient One, in the presence of Odin and Thor, Loki could not escape alone, despite being the God of Mischief.

Next, Loki extended his right hand, raising the scepter he had held all along. However, in the next instant, Loki didn’t use the scepter to cast any magic.

Instead, he simply released it, letting the scepter, symbolizing his status as the God of Mischief, float freely in the void, gradually moving farther away from Loki. Facing Dormammu, Loki had abandoned his own scepter!

Humming!

Nevertheless, as the scepter gradually drifted away from Loki, his empty right hand slowly retracted. Subsequently, waves of magical energy emanated from between Loki’s palms. This time, the magic emitted was frigid. Besides life magic, Loki had mastery over ice magic as well.

After a while of emanating these icy magical waves, a frigid ice chest appeared out of thin air between Loki’s hands. If Thor were to look back at this moment, he would surely recognize what Loki held – the Frost Giant’s artifact known as the Casket of Ancient Winters.

During the war between the Frost Giants and Asgard, the leader of the Frost Giants once infiltrated Asgard’s palace to steal this artifact. However, with Loki’s feigned assistance, Laufey ended up escaping with injuries, leaving the Casket of Ancient Winters hidden in Asgard’s treasury.

Before coming to Earth, Loki had brought this Casket of Ancient Winters with him. As a hybrid of the Asgardian gods and the Frost Giants, Loki could fully harness the power of this ice-themed artifact.

Upon revealing the Casket of Ancient Winters, Loki’s normally normal complexion quickly took on an icy blue hue. Aside from appearances, Loki’s skin had turned completely Frost Giant-like.

“Power… it truly intoxicates!” Loki, with his eyes now ice-blue, murmured with a cold light glinting in his eyes, feeling the immense power bestowed by the Casket of Ancient Winters.

Swoosh!

The next moment, Loki had disappeared in the blink of an eye. Almost as soon as Loki vanished, he reappeared before Dormammu as Lin Rui and the others charged forward. However, at this moment, Loki’s hand no longer held the Casket of Ancient Winters.

Loki, who had instantly crossed over to the vicinity of Lin Rui and the others and appeared in front of Dormammu, had a cold, determined gaze. He swiftly raised his right hand, and instead of using the scepter, he quickly swung his fingers downward from above.

Suddenly, a gigantic ice-blue ice blade materialized out of thin air above the swirling black mist that shrouded Dormammu. Then, this ice blade descended from above, cleaving straight through the heart of Dormammu’s dark mist.

“Boom!” As the ice blade entered the black mist, Loki coldly exclaimed.

Pew, Pew, Pew!

Subsequently, the ice blade within the black mist suddenly exploded. Countless tiny ice shards shot out in all directions within Dormammu’s being. Each tiny ice shard carried the frigid power from the Casket of Ancient Winters and continuously sapped away Dormammu’s dark energy as they pierced through him.

The once stabilizing black mist started to undulate again under Loki’s sudden attack, but this time, the undulations were much weaker. Furthermore, within the core of this black mist, Dormammu’s enormous face was about to manifest again.

“Indeed… you are not as powerful as before.” Observing the changes in Dormammu as a result of his attack, Loki muttered coldly.

Upon confirming that the shrunken Dormammu was indeed not as formidable as the colossal Dormammu he had faced previously, Loki unleashed a series of relentless attacks.

Before Lin Rui’s team could reach them, Loki delivered a hundred consecutive strikes, almost piercing Dormammu through with countless ice shards.

As Lin Rui and the others finally approached Dormammu, they witnessed Loki’s outburst and Dormammu being punctured by innumerable ice shards. Thor, although aware that Loki’s true strength far exceeded his mischievous antics, was still astonished by Loki’s ferocity when he got serious.

Lin Rui was similarly surprised by the fact that Loki’s outburst featured ice-based magic, which hinted at something more significant.

After a moment of amazement, Lin Rui’s team launched their attacks on Dormammu. With Lin Rui and Iceman employing their domains and Thor summoning his thunder, they each contributed to depleting Dormammu’s dark energy.

Finally, after Lin Rui’s team had launched their combined assault on Dormammu, his massive face manifested once again. Then, Dormammu fixed his deep yellow eyes on Lin Rui’s team and roared angrily.

“You!… You ants!!”
