I Created a Sanctuary in Marvel

Chapter 194 Loki's Self-Exile

Without hesitation, the Destroyer launched a full-scale attack, with six energy beams shooting out simultaneously from all parts of its body, sealing off all of Thor's escape routes.

Thor simply lifted Mjolnir.

Thunder roared like a dragon as it charged forward.

The energy beam collided with lightning in mid-air, and the shockwave from the explosion ripped off all the windows within three city blocks.

Wanda and Pietro were thrown back, but fortunately they were caught by a gentle red magic before they hit the ground.

When the smoke cleared, Thor was still standing in the same spot, completely unharmed.

Loki.

"If you're watching, let's talk."

Saul's voice echoed like thunder over New York.

The Destroyer did not respond.

The runes on its chest began to rearrange themselves in an unusual way, a variation of runic magic that only Loki could use.

The armor's power is increasing rapidly; Loki is clearly channeling more divine power into Asgard.

"He wanted to destroy the whole of Manhattan."

Wanda gasped that she was too exhausted to fight any longer.

Thor's expression turned serious.

He could sense that the energy within the Destroyer was breaking through a critical point; if it were to erupt completely here, half of New York would be reduced to ashes.

"Evacuate everyone."

"The farther the better."

Saul said to Fury, who had arrived.

"What are you planning to do?"

"Frey asked."

Thor did not answer.

He lifted Mjolnir, and the dark clouds in the sky began to swirl, forming a huge vortex of thunder.

Lightning cascaded down like a waterfall, pouring into the hammer and flowing throughout his entire body.

This is an attack that risks everything.

The Destroyer has also completed its energy charge.

Its entire body turned reddish-gold, the surrounding air ionized due to the high temperature, and the asphalt on the street began to melt.

The next second, Thor and Destroyer attacked simultaneously.

Thor wielded Mjolnir, summoning all the lightning in the world, transforming it into a pillar of lightning a hundred meters in diameter.

The Destroyer concentrated all its energy into a single point and fired a beam of blazing white light.

Two world-destroying forces collided in mid-air.

The greatest sound is the silence! The sound has exceeded the limits of human hearing.

Pure light engulfed all the blocks of Midtown Manhattan.

People in the distance could only see an ever-expanding sphere of light and two opposing figures at its center.

Wanda used her last strength to protect herself and her brother, and chaos magic formed a barrier around them.

Through the blinding light, she saw Thor's figure retreating little by little. The Destroyer's power was still increasing, while Thor's newly restored divine power was clearly not yet at its peak.

"He can't hold on any longer."

Pietro said through gritted teeth.

"You can't look at it."

"Although we've used up a lot of our power on that suit of armor, it's still something Thor can't handle right now."

Wanda managed to stand up.

With the Chaos Magic empowering her cosmos, Wanda's power surpasses that of Thor at present.

If she and Pietro hadn't exhausted the power of the Destroyer Armor and Loki, Thor would have died five times over.

"Buzz!"

The crimson chaos magic spread once more, silently reaching behind the Destroyer armor.

And it spread along the earth to the body of the Destroyer Armor!

"asshole!"

Loki sensed something amiss with the Destroyer armor.

It's clear that if just a little more divine power were injected, Thor could be completely defeated.

But his divine power faltered as he looked at Thor, who was about to be killed.

Ye Feng's words came to mind.

"Think about what kind of person you want to become—"

In the end, he did not release any more divine power, and instead gradually cut off his own supply of divine power.

As the chaos magic spread, the energy fluctuations within the Destroyer's body suddenly became disordered.

Its attack paused for a fleeting moment, though only for a fraction of a second, but that was enough to be fatal in a battle of this magnitude.

Thor did not miss this opportunity.

He poured all his divine power into Mjolnir, and the pillar of lightning suddenly expanded, completely engulfing the Destroyer's beam and striking the armor itself.

The Destroyer was pierced by lightning.

It stood frozen in place, its eyes flickering, and the runes within its body extinguished one by one.

In the end, it turned into a pile of inactive metal and collapsed with a crash.

The thunder subsided, and the dark clouds dispersed.

Thor knelt on one knee, with Mjolnir supporting his body.

That last attack almost exhausted all his strength.

Wanda and Pietro walked up to him.

"What just happened?"

"I clearly feel that the Destroyer Armor still has some power left."

Wanda asked.

Thor looked up at the sky, as if he could see the direction of Asgard.

"It's Loki."

"At the last moment, he withdrew his divine power."

He said in a low voice.

Faraway Asgard, the Golden Palace and Treasury.

Loki knelt on the ground, while Gungnir, the Spear of Eternity, lay to one side.

His hands were charred black, a backlash from the excessive output of divine power that was forcibly interrupted.

In the water mirror before him, the scene of the New York streets was reflected: Saul was still alive, and the Destroyer had been defeated.

Why————

Why can't I bring myself to do it?

Loki looked at his trembling hands.

In that instant, just as the Destroyer was about to overwhelm Thor, he saw the emotion in his brother's eyes—not anger, not hatred, but sadness and—understanding.

"idiot."

Loki muttered curses under his breath, it was unclear whether he was cursing Thor or himself.

He stood up and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

The doors to the vault slowly opened, and the Asgardian guards rushed in. Clearly, Heimdall had lifted the restrictions.

Loki did not resist.

He looked at the guards rushing in, at their wary but hesitant eyes, and suddenly laughed.

"Take me to Odin."

"I have something to say to my father."

New York, as dawn breaks.

Above the ruins, Thor, accompanied by Fury and the twins, watched the fading glow of the Rainbow Bridge in the sky.

Will Loki come back?

Wanda asked.

"I don't know, but next time we meet, I hope we can have a real talk, instead of just talking through the Destroyer armor."

Thor gripped Mjolnir tightly.

In the distance, rescue teams have already begun their work.

In Asgard, Frigga sat beside Odin.

Odin has now fallen into eternal slumber.

If Odin's eternal slumber is interrupted, his lifespan will be greatly shortened.

This is something no one wants to see.

"Mother----"

Loki approached the two of them, and seeing Frigga's tearful eyes, he hesitated to speak.

"Why did you stop?"

Frigga looked at Loki.

The actions of Odin's Vault and the deployment of the Destroyer Armor did not escape her notice.

As the Queen of Asgard and a princess of the Vanir gods, her power ranks among the top in Asgard.

Currently, in Asgard, besides Odin, she is the strongest.

"Because someone told me to think clearly about what kind of god I really want to become."

"I've thought it through."

"Even if I weren't the king of Asgard, I could still surpass Thor."

"To become the strongest being in Asgard."

Loki's expression was completely calm at this moment.

"Even if they are banished from Asgard, is that still the case?"

Frigga looked at Loki.

This time his actions were too drastic.

Anyone who plots to murder the king's heir, even if he is the second prince of Asgard, will absolutely not escape punishment.

"nature."

"I will prove in my own way that I am better than Thor!"

Loki seemed to have resolved some inner conflict, and surprisingly, he smiled at that moment.

"very good."

"Then, in my capacity as Queen of Asgard, I declare: Loki!"

"You have been banished from Asgard."

Frigg's majestic voice echoed within Odin's bedchamber.

A tear slid down Odin's cheek.

However, no one saw it.

"But I tell you, my child, in the name of a mother."

"This will always be your home."

Frigga's voice softened as she looked at the child she had raised, her eyes filled with reluctance.

"Don't worry, Mother, I'll be fine."

Loki smiled.

"You may take the Box of Ice with you."

"But I must tell you that the Frost Giants' most treasured artifact, the Box of Ice, can stimulate the bloodline within you."

""

"It has its pros and cons."

"If you can completely assimilate the artifact, the Box of Ice, your power will increase dramatically."

"Don't be fooled by Laufey."

"In his eyes, there is only ambition, not family affection."

"Even if you are his child, as long as you have no use to him, you should understand your fate without me having to tell you."

Frigga added.

Loki nodded upon hearing this, then turned and left Odin's chambers.

They walked towards the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard.

"Where do you want to go?"

Heimdall, standing beside Loki, made a rare sarcastic remark.

His eyes were full of satisfaction.

The second prince, who had never been very mature, had changed from his previous self.

"The universe is so vast, we should go out and explore it, shouldn't we?"

Loki smiled.

As the Rainbow Bridge shimmered with light, Loki's figure vanished from the spot.

"Bon Voyage----"

Heimdall said in a low voice.

At the same time, the Rainbow Bridge flashed again, and Thor's figure appeared in Asgard.

Where's Loki?

As soon as Thor stepped off the Rainbow Bridge, he couldn't wait to ask.

"He was banished by the goddess Frigga."

"I don't know his whereabouts either."

Heimdall did not tell Solrock his whereabouts.

"Loki!"

Thor couldn't help but tighten his grip on Mjolnir's hand.

"However, there's something I need to tell you."

"If you don't work hard, Loki will surpass you."

Seeing Thor's sorrowful expression, Heimdall couldn't help but speak up.

"Are you kidding me?"

"I'll lose to Loki?"

Sure enough, those words successfully helped Saul pull himself out of his grief.

"Go, Asgard needs you now."

Heimdall smiled upon seeing this.

He then quickly reverted to his original form, transforming once again into the guardian deity of the Nine Realms.

Earth----

"He actually chose self-exile."

"It seems he did heed what I said."

Ye Feng paused in stroking the cat.

Since Loki has chosen self-exile, it's worth trying to reconnect with him.

He was still quite interested in things like Infinity Stones.

But he didn't want to meet Thanos.

This guy says he's chosen by fate, and in some ways, he's not wrong—
