In American comics: My Traveling Frog steals from all over the world!

Loki was so badly beaten by Yu Mu that he was completely disoriented.

He lay on the ground, his eyes vacant as he stared at the vast, cloudless blue sky.

who am I?

where am I?

Why...why did I come here?

He was clearly just preparing to mock his foolish brother from the perspective of a victor.

He had anticipated countless reactions from Saul: anger, despair, or resentment.

Each one could become the most beautiful embellishment when he was crowned king.

But he never imagined the script would turn out this way.

That man... that black-haired mortal...

Loki's mind was in chaos, and intense pain emanated from every inch of his body, but it paled in comparison to the terror and humiliation deep within his soul.

He didn't even see the other person's movements clearly.

That was not magic, not divine power, and not any kind of energy he could understand.

It was a pure, savage, irrational...power.

Like a star, imbued with will, and then using its full mass to slam into his face.

His prized schemes and meticulously crafted illusions proved as fragile as a thin sheet of paper before that absolute power, easily pierced.

And that man's eyes...

Loki still remembers it to this day.

That wasn't the look you gave an enemy, or the gaze of a god.

That was... the look you give a clown.

It was filled with pity, mockery, and a hint of... impatience.

It was as if his appearance was merely a boring pre-dinner entertainment.

He, the prince of Asgard, the future king of the gods, Loki, the god of mischief, is, in the eyes of a mortal, just a... clown?

This realization was more painful for him than being slammed into the ground a hundred times.

What's even more terrifying is that the man seemed to know everything.

His insight into his own little tricks was by no means accidental.

At this moment, what rose in Loki's heart was no longer anger, but a fear of being completely seen through and having nowhere to hide.

He felt as if he were not facing a person, but a playwright who was high above him, and all his struggles and performances were just a ridiculous footnote written in the playwright's pen.

……

The Ancient One stared intently at Yu Mu, who exuded an aura of languor, her gaze more solemn than ever before.

It's hard to imagine that this seemingly harmless young man just now pinned a deity to the ground and repeatedly beat him like a chick.

She had seen Loki, in the river of time.

Although this god of trickery is not the strongest, his magic and illusions are enough to give most powerful people a headache.

However, in front of Yu Mu, he was like a three-year-old child who had all his toys taken away by a strong adult man and was also severely spanked.

Seems useless.

This is the Ancient One's most direct assessment of Loki at this moment.

But what she cared about even more was Yu Mu.

She agreed to Yu Mu's conditions and initiated time rewind in order to see the true nature of this variable.

But what she saw was a chaos and madness even purer than the Dark Dimension.

He used the cruelest methods to achieve the most ideal result.

He enslaves time and plays with life and death; his actions show no reverence for the law.

He was like a mischievous child who had wandered into a china shop, but he himself was harder than all the china put together.

Now, he has subdued Loki with ease.

Gu Yi knew that the farce in New Mexico had come to an end.

But what Yu Mu unveiled was the prelude to a storm that would sweep across the Nine Realms.

She should go.

Protecting the Earth is her duty.

As for Yu Mu... perhaps, he will become an existence more unpredictable than any other dimensional demon god.

She couldn't stay by his side any longer; it would make her see too much of a future that she shouldn't have seen, a future that had been forcibly reversed.

"I'm leaving things here to you."

Master Gu Yi gave Yu Mu a deep look, but said nothing more.

She casually drew an orange circle of fire, causing ripples in the space, and her figure merged into it and disappeared.

Gu Yi took his leave.

Meanwhile, Thor, who had just regained his divine power and was now wielding Mjolnir, was just beginning to wake up from his daze.

He stared blankly at his younger brother, who had been smashed into the human-shaped crater, his face filled with utter despair.

For some reason, Thor felt not anger at his brother's humiliation, but rather... a sense of relief.

His younger brother had always enjoyed playing pranks and lies on him since he was a child, causing him a lot of suffering.

Today, he finally tasted the bitterness of being crushed by absolute power.

This feeling is even more exhilarating than lifting Mjolnir again!

But then, Thor was overwhelmed with immense shock.

He looked at Yu Mu.

Who exactly is this man?

In the realm of time, the physical strength he displayed has exceeded Thor's understanding of the concept of "mortal".

He even felt that even if he were at the peak of his divine power, he might not be able to defeat him in a pure contest of strength.

And now, he saw through Loki's illusion with ease.

This shows that this guy is not only physically as strong as a monster, but his mental strength, or rather his perception, is also outrageously powerful!

Thor suddenly realized that Yu Mu's help in restoring his divine power might not have been because of any deal.

He just... thought it was fun.

Yes, it's fun.

For him, his own and Banner's awakening, and Loki's appearance, were just an interesting drama.

I have no right to negotiate with him.

Realizing this, Saul felt not humiliated, but rather relieved about his choice.

To be an enemy of such a being... just look at Loki in the pit and you'll know the consequences.

At this moment, Yu Mu dusted off non-existent dust from his body, his black, tousled hair fluttering gently in the breeze, and a faint smile graced his handsome, almost otherworldly face.

His deep eyes calmly swept over Loki, who was questioning his existence in the pit.

"In my theater, Loki, the Joker has no right to add his own scenes."

He spoke calmly, his voice not loud, yet it reached everyone's ears clearly.

"Let me guess, did you make a deal with Laufey, the Frost Giant King, to sneak into Asgard with his men and create a minor crisis while your father is 'asleep'?"

"Then, you'll appear as a savior, 'heroically' repel them, and thus secure your throne?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Loki abruptly lifted his head from the pit, his empty eyes instantly filled with endless horror!

How...how is this possible?!

This plan was the most perfect masterpiece of his life!

His meeting with Laufey took place deep within the frozen ruins of Jotunheim, with absolutely no third person present!

How could this mortal possibly know everything so clearly?!

Could it be... that he is the incarnation of the three Fates?

At this moment, Yu Mu's image in Loki's mind rapidly rose from a terrifying thug to an omniscient, omnipotent, and indescribable terrifying being.

Yu Mu ignored Loki's inner turmoil and turned to Thor, giving him instructions.

"Thor, take your good-for-nothing brother with you, it's time for us to head back to Asgard."

"It's time... to deal with some minor troubles caused by the Frost Giants."

Thor's heart skipped a beat, and he nodded heavily.

He grabbed Loki by the collar as if he were carrying a bag of trash, and led the Illuminati toward the "crash site" that Coulson and his men were surveying, several kilometers away.

That was the focus of Heimdall's gaze, and also the place where the Rainbow Bridge could most easily descend.

Thor arrived at the scorched earth and raised Mjolnir high.

"Heimdall!"

His voice was like rolling thunder, resounding through the sky.

"Open your eyes! Look at me! I, Thor, have returned!"

"Asgard is facing a crisis! Open the Rainbow Bridge!"

As soon as the words were spoken, a seven-colored beam of light tore through the clouds in the sky and crashed down, enveloping everyone within it.

Heimdall gave them permission to go.

Amidst the dazzling light of the Rainbow Bridge, Yu Mu led all the members of the Illuminati, along with Loki, who was treated as a trophy, as they were sucked into the pillar of light and teleported to Asgard, the divine realm deep within the universe.
