Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 831 Frost Giant Invasion
Back in Asgard, Loki felt something was off. He was a mage, so he was skilled with daggers, and his Kidney Shot was incredibly powerful. Even Thor praised it. But lately, he felt that daggers were light and unsteady, which was quite unsettling.

A sudden impulse led Loki to the vault to choose a new weapon, but fate compelled him to accidentally touch the icy casket, finally revealing yet another of Odin's secrets.

If Thor's life was a coffee table full of tragedies, then Loki wasn't much better off. All he ever sought was recognition, which he could never attain.

He didn't hate Odin, nor his mother, nor Thor. What he hated was the injustice, the fact that he wasn't given the chance to prove himself and that he could do better. This filled Loki's heart with suppressed anger.

Odin's slumber and Thor's exile gave Loki the illusion that he had found an opportunity to prove himself, but fate led him to discover a truth that had been deliberately concealed.

Holding the Frost Giants' treasured Ice Box, an artifact capable of freezing everything, Loki found it unusually docile. However, as he looked at his pale skin covered in frost, Loki's gaze became increasingly complex.

This was not an illusion, but a reality he had never seen before. In the end, Loki sneered, "This is the reason for the differential treatment?"

Countless schemes and plots flashed through Loki's mind, and he even resolutely wanted to use his own father's life to prove that he was a worthy Asgardian. However, his inner impulses and cold rationality made him reject them one by one.

Loki knew very well that no matter how clever he was, how successful his strategies were, how many casualties he reduced, or how many merits he made, none of them could compare to his simple-minded brother who wielded a hammer, because that was the nature of the Asgardians.

“Let’s do something different this time, my dear brother.” Loki, holding a war serpent in one hand and an iron bear in the other, laughed.

Knowing there would be trouble, Coulson certainly wouldn't take it on himself, nor could he, so he immediately reported it to Nick Fury, who was busy playing hide-and-seek with a house full of snakes and rats. Upon hearing this, he was immediately stunned.

According to Thor, Asgard rules the Nine Realms, which includes Earth. Although it is unknown why the Asgardians have not appeared, it does not mean we can rest easy.

Based on the information revealed by the other party, Nick Fury could confirm that Asgard might not be gods, but it was definitely a powerful interstellar civilization with the ability to project large armies across interstellar distances.

He doesn't believe that an interstellar civilization doesn't have planet-destroying weapons, which means Earth simply can't defeat it.

If you can't beat someone, you have to back down. Even if it's hard to swallow, you have to endure it and say, "It's actually delicious!"

With this in mind, Nick Fury immediately sent Captain America as his bodyguard and reported to the White House to mobilize nearby troops. In any case, he couldn't let Odin's successor on Earth have any problems.

Thor was completely unaware of this. Like a giant baby, he enjoyed the food and liquor provided by the taxpayers. Although the agents who were responsible for keeping him company could not outdrink him, they could always extract some important information from him.

However, despite his poor brainpower, Thor possessed keen instincts. He disliked these people and, relying on his privileges, found the first woman he encountered on Earth and helped her retrieve her equipment. Thus began a relatively peaceful and warm life, filled with unexpected events.

The problem is that this is not what Odin wanted, nor what Loki wanted to see, so he tacitly allowed his second son to send a great gift to Earth: an army of frost giants.

"What exactly are you trying to do?!" Heimdall, who was in charge of guarding the Rainbow Bridge, said with a furrowed brow.

Loki, acting as the acting King of Gods, ordered Heimdall to teleport an army of Frost Giants to Earth. Heimdall assumed Loki intended to use the Frost Giants to kill Thor, but the teleportation target wasn't Thor's location, but rather the vicinity of the Midgardian army. This naturally sparked a great battle between the two sides. Although many died, Heimdall didn't care; what he couldn't understand was why Loki had done this.
"The mighty Thor of Asgard is indulging in romance with human women. It seems my good brother has completely forgotten his identity. Let me awaken his courage and help him rediscover himself." Heimdall stared at Loki for a long time after hearing his words, strongly suspecting that the Loki before him was someone else in disguise, because this was not something the God of Mischief should say.

With Odin asleep and Thor exiled, he could not disobey the other's orders, at least not without endangering Thor's life. Therefore, with a hint of unease, he activated the Bifrost to teleport the Frost Giant to Midgard.

Heimdall didn't care how many people Midgard would die for this; if it could awaken Thor's courage, as Loki had suggested, he felt it would be worthwhile.

Loki was fully aware of Heimdall's thoughts, which fueled his growing anger.

It's always like this: no matter what Saul does or how much trouble she causes, everyone is full of tolerance and expectations for her, while he is always an insignificant little character on the sidelines.

Just as the two were lost in their own thoughts, the Frost Giants, who had inexplicably arrived in Midgard, engaged in a fierce battle with the mold.

After the Devil in New York, the US significantly increased its military spending. However, as those in the know understand, this is like the government's disaster relief grain – it sounds impressive, but in reality, it's barely enough to get half a bowl of thin porridge. As a result, the combat effectiveness of the lower-ranking soldiers remained unchanged, and they were routed by a bunch of frost giants who were even frugal with their animal skins.

Despite their caveman-like appearance, the Frost Giants are actually a powerful magical race. At their peak, even Odin suffered a significant loss, demonstrating their formidable strength.

Even though it has lost its environmental advantages and the clan's treasure, the Frost Box, it is still not something that mere mold can defeat.

Just kidding. Frost giants are several meters tall and have three times the body density of humans. They can easily catch and nibble on land giants like rhinoceroses.

Not only are they physically strong enough to withstand most light weapons, but the Frost Giants can also control ice. They are capable of defense, ranged attacks, and melee combat, with almost no weaknesses. Individually, each of them would be a well-known supervillain. When they form an army, they automatically create an ice domain, and ordinary people will freeze to death just by entering the domain.

Moreover, the U.S. military isn't like a bear; their weapons and equipment weren't designed for use in extremely cold environments, so how can they possibly fight?

Desperate after being routed in a single encounter, the Mold immediately activated the Jericho missiles purchased from Stark Industries, attempting to salvage the situation with this weapon, whose power was second only to the mushroom.

Although the Frost Giants have declined, their long lifespans have allowed many who experienced their peak to survive to this day. Therefore, their civilization has not been completely extinguished, and they naturally know about technological weapons such as missiles, and they don't wait until they are about to be hit before they react.

Several elderly but mentally strong frost giant wizards released astonishing cold air, using the icy domain formed by their legion to unleash a frost storm that blotted out the sky. This caused the Jericho missiles falling from the sky to be much less effective, managing to unleash only 20-30% of their power. But this was nothing to the frost giants, a race of giants.

This is mainly related to Tony's original design. He didn't expect to encounter enemies like the Frost Giants, so he used a traditional locking method, which relies heavily on infrared and radar. However, this method is almost ineffective against Frost Giants, who can create ice storms and whose body temperature is below zero. The missiles were not designed to lock onto the ice sculptures.

Although the reason is known, it doesn't mean the military won't use it as an excuse. After all, Tony is no longer just an arms dealer; he's Iron Man now.

Sure enough, upon learning of the invasion of the mythical Frost Giants, Tony immediately donned his new Iron Man suit and headed to New Mexico, while Natasha also went to the battlefield with the objective of this mission.
