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

……

The next day.

Yu Mu's villa site now seems to have become an exhibition center for cosmic wonders.

The Tesseract, "borrowed" from S.H.I.E.L.D., was quietly suspended in mid-air, emitting a deep and mesmerizing blue halo.

It's like a captured miniature star, and every fluctuation in its light is like the universe breathing.

For the first time, the members of the Illuminati were in such close proximity to the legendary Infinity Stone.

"Oh My God……"

Tony Stark was practically lying on the energy shield, his eyes beneath his armor visor burning with an unprecedentedly fervent flame.

Countless invisible data streams emerged from his armor, attempting to analyze the structure of the cube. However, the moment those data streams touched the Rubik's Cube's halo, they vanished without a trace, like a mud ox sinking into the sea.

"Incredible! This is not the energy structure of our dimension at all! The energy it contains... is infinite! Truly infinite!"

Jarvis's calm voice sounded in his helmet: "Sir, data stream overload, underlying logic is being rewritten, it is recommended to stop parsing immediately."

Tony ignored him, muttering to himself like a drunkard talking in his sleep or a believer on a pilgrimage.

"True gods never bother to abide by the physical laws set by mortals."

"But we have locked 'God' in a cage today."

Queen Emma, ​​the White Queen, elegantly held a glass of red wine. She did not approach, but simply closed her eyes and used her powerful spiritual energy to perceive things from afar.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of seriousness appeared on her beautiful face.

"I can't feel 'thought,' but I can feel 'will.'"

"An ancient, vast, and pure spatial will. It is like a boundless ocean, and any spiritual power that tries to peer into it will be instantly assimilated and submerged."

Emma opened her eyes, and in her gaze toward Yu Mu, there was a hint of awe that she herself was unaware of.

How unfathomable is the soul of this man who can manipulate such a terrifying thing with ease?

Gwen and Felicia are like curious kittens; they can feel the oppressive energy, yet are drawn to its ultimate beauty.

Frank and Morbius stood silently in the shadows.

From that eerie blue light, they sensed the purest form of destruction.

It is an ultimate power capable of reducing everything to nothingness, easily erasing even the fires of hell.

Just as everyone was awestruck by the power of the Cosmic Cube, Yu Mu walked over leisurely.

He reached out and, in that ethereal blue halo, casually picked up the Cosmic Cube, as if it were an ordinary apple from a fruit bowl.

Then, to everyone's astonishment, his jaw nearly dropping, he walked toward Loki, who was tied up in the corner like a dead dog.

Yu Mu wore a sly, innocent smile.

He crouched down and casually stuffed the Tesseract, a cosmic cube capable of triggering an interstellar war, into Loki's arms.

"Take it."

Yu Mu's voice was understated.

"Activate it."

In an instant, the air in the entire villa complex seemed to freeze.

crazy!

This was the only thought in the minds of everyone in the Illuminati.

They went to great lengths, risking being blasted to smithereens by S.H.I.E.L.D., to finally obtain this cosmic treasure, only to... Yu Mu then handed it over to the enemy?

Or is it Loki, a cunning and habitual liar?

"Yu...Yu Mu?" Tony's lips twitched. He felt like his brain's CPU had completely burned out. "Are you sure you're not kidding? This is Loki! The God of Lies of Asgard! If you give him the Space Stone, he'll be at the ends of the universe the next second, then come back with an army of Chitauri and wipe us all out!"

This makes no sense at all!

This is a million times more absurd than trying to block an energy cannon with a sticker!

Even the White Queen Emma could no longer maintain her elegance. She tried to read Yu Mu's thoughts, but her attempts only yielded a calm, spectator-like pleasure.

It was as if everything happening before his eyes was part of his perfect script.

This feeling made Emma's heart flutter like never before.

The unknown is the scariest thing.

Yu Mu is the "unknown" itself.

Gwen looked at Yu Mu with concern. Although she trusted him unconditionally, this action was simply too incomprehensible.

"If you let him activate the Cosmic Cube, he'll escape."

Loki was also stunned.

He looked at the Cosmic Cube in his arms, which exuded a cool touch and boundless energy, and then looked up at Yu Mu, who was smiling in front of him. A chill ran down his spine and straight to the top of his head.

A tremendous storm raged within him!

What does this mean?

What is this devil trying to do?!

This is a trap! An even more vicious and cruel trap!

Perhaps, the moment he activates the Cosmic Cube, he will be torn to pieces by that violent spatial energy?

Or perhaps this thing is actually a bomb disguised as a Tesseract?

Countless terrifying thoughts flashed through Loki's mind, each one sending chills down his spine.

He was scared, he was really scared.

In the face of this man, his proud schemes and wisdom seemed like the scribbles of a three-year-old child—childish and laughable.

But... if he's not activated, he'll die.

Activation... perhaps there's still a glimmer of hope?

The allure of freedom ultimately triumphed over the fear of the unknown.

"good!"

Loki gritted his teeth, a mad, resolute glint in his eyes.

He used all his strength to pour his divine power into the Cosmic Cube!

Om-!

A blinding blue light erupted instantly, forming a massive spatial wormhole that completely engulfed Loki's figure.

As the light faded, Loki, along with the Tesseract, vanished completely.

"See? I told you he could run!" Tony shrugged, a "I knew it" look on his face.

Gwen couldn't help but ask, "Yu Mu, why...why are we doing this?"

Yu Mu simply waved his hand, signaling everyone to calm down, and his smile became even more playful.

"A true chess player never worries that his pieces will escape the board."

"He will only guide it to where it is meant to be."

"Now, the show is just beginning. Everyone, sit down and watch the show quietly."

……

An unnamed, desolate desert.

Space tore open, and Loki's figure tumbled out of the wormhole in a sorry state, landing face-first in the dirt.

"Pah! Pah! Pah!"

Loki spat out a mouthful of sand and scrambled to his feet.

He looked around blankly at the endless yellow sand dunes, and then saw the Cosmic Cube rolling not far away.

The next second, he was stunned.

Immediately afterwards, a surge of ecstasy welled up in his heart, and he could no longer contain himself, throwing his head back and letting out a maniacal laugh!

"Haha...hahahaha!"

"I escaped! I really escaped!"

He succeeded!

He escaped from that devil's clutches!

Although he didn't know what that bastard Yu Mu was up to, he was now free!

Loki ran and rolled on the sand like a madman, breathing in the dusty air and feeling the scorching sun on his body.

He had never felt that the taste of freedom was so sweet!

He lay exhausted on the sand, gazing at the clear blue sky above him, feeling as if he had been reborn.

However, he did not notice.

From the sand behind him, a mechanical snake, entirely black with ancient runes engraved on its scales, silently emerged.

It was Yu Mu's mechanical creation—the [Red Serpent].

Its pair of snake eyes, flashing red light, were coldly watching the "god" who was still reveling in false freedom.

Inside its body, it also carries a "black hole sticker," ensuring that Yu Mu, who is far away in New York, can arrive at any time.

Loki thought he had escaped from the Five Finger Mountain.

Little did he know, he had simply jumped from Yu Mu's left hand to Yu Mu's right hand.

Just as Loki was calming down from his ecstasy and preparing to pick up the Tesseract to plan his future revenge,

A sudden change has occurred!

Suddenly, several orange, sparkling circular portals lit up in the space in front of him.

Men and women dressed in uniform and carrying unusual batons emerged from the door and surrounded him.

The leader, a Black woman with a stern face, glanced at a strange device in her hand before fixing her gaze on the bewildered Loki.

"Time anomaly confirmed." Her voice was devoid of any emotion.

Loki frowned, looking warily at the uninvited guests: "Who are you? What nonsense are you spouting?"

He could sense that there was no energy fluctuation from this group of people, yet they gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

It's as if they don't belong to this world.

The Black woman completely ignored his question, simply looking up at him with the gaze one would give an "object," and continued to pronounce in a businesslike tone:

"On behalf of the Time Mutation Administration, I hereby formally arrest you on charges of violating the sacred timeline."

"Loki Odinson!"
