Marvel's Hogwarts Wizard

Chapter 176 Loki's Trap (First Update)

Actually, after their identities were exposed, killing Coulson and Barton would have been the best course of action.

Although Jerry isn't exactly a good person, he has his own bottom line, so he used a forgetting spell to temporarily make the two of them forget the clip of Jerry's true appearance that they had just seen.

At the same time, a false memory spell was used to fill in the gaps, changing the scene where Loki used magic to break his illusion-transformation spell to one where Loki hit them with magic, causing them to faint.

However, this is not without its hidden dangers.

The forgetting spell can indeed make people forget their memories, but this is not absolute. If the brain of the person under the spell is strongly stimulated later, it is still possible to remember them again.

The crucial point is that Loki, who knew his true appearance, escaped, which was a ticking time bomb!

But for now, this is the only way.

He never thought he could hide his identity forever, but not now. This sudden exposure will catch him off guard.

Just as Jerry's spell was completed, Nick Fury arrived with a large number of S.H.I.E.L.D. agents:

"What... what exactly is going on?"

"Thor's brother Loki has appeared, but he doesn't seem friendly towards us!"

Jerry quietly cast a resurrection spell on Coulson and Barton, then explained to Fury with a serious expression.

At this moment, Coulson and Barton also woke up due to the resurrection spell.

Half an hour later, in the base command center.

After listening to the reports from Jerry, Coulson, and Barton, Fury fell into deep thought.

"Do you feel like something's not right?"

"Something's definitely not right. Loki's appearance and his current behavior are quite different from what Thor described!"

Coulson nodded in agreement.

"I think you should call Thor over and ask him again. Loki can't possibly come here without meeting his brother, and I think Thor's unusual mood might be related to Loki!"

Jerry suggested.

Now, Loki's appearance completely proves that Asgard does exist. However, if Loki is the new king of Asgard, Earth is in danger, given his previous attitude.

"Coulson, go and ask Mr. Saul to come over for a talk!"

Fury accepted Jerry's offer.

"What? Loki attacked you? Oh, it's all my fault. It must be that Father's passing saddened him, which is why he took his anger out on you. He may like to play pranks, but he's not that bad!"

In the base's conference room, Thor's face was filled with remorse after learning the whole story.

At this moment, Jerry frowned:

"Mr. Thor, what did you say? What happened to your father, Odin?"

"Actually, Loki came to Midgard this time to see me one last time. My father died from exhaustion due to the pressure of the impending war between Asgard and Jotunheim."

To stop the war, I, as the instigator of this, must be banished here forever; only then will Jotunheim be willing to give up!

Thor explained with a sorrowful expression.

He felt that Loki must have been in a terrible mood after seeing him for the last time, knowing that the two brothers would never see each other again, which led to his conflict with the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

"Mr. Thor, did your brother Loki tell you all this?"

Coulson stepped forward and asked a question.

Thor nodded, his tone sincere:

"If Loki has caused you any trouble, as his brother, I apologize on his behalf! As the maintainers of order in the Nine Realms, Asgard also has the responsibility to protect you, the weak humans."

"Uh, it's alright, Mr. Saul. You should go back and rest. Please accept my condolences regarding your father's passing."

Nick Fury narrowed his single eye, his tone carrying a hint of meaning.

After Thor left the room, Nick Fury looked at Coulson:

What do you think?

"I don't think Mr. Saul's brother is as good as he claims, and if we follow Saul's account and set aside his emotional factors, just analyze the whole incident itself, it seems more like a trap!"

As a top agent, Coulson certainly doesn't lack analytical skills.

Moreover, those involved are often blinded by their own perspective, while bystanders see things more clearly. Thor, being at the center of the events and trusting his brother Loki too much, was often led astray in a daze.

Of course, it's also possible that he himself isn't very bright, and even if he wasn't directly involved, he might not understand the truth of the matter.

In Coulson's view, from the day Thor ascended the throne and the Frost Giants attacked the Asgardian Vaults, to Thor impulsively leading his men to Jotunheim to start a war.

And then being banished to Earth by Odin—this series of events doesn't seem like a coincidence at all.

It's more like a carefully laid trap targeting Thor's impulsive nature, and the ultimate beneficiary of the trap is Loki, who has now obtained the throne of Asgard.

Fury nodded as he listened to Coulson's explanation, clearly agreeing with Coulson's reasoning.

"Given Loki's attitude, if he were to actually become the king of Asgard, things would be in serious trouble!"

In Fury's view, Loki's behavior did not seem to place humans on an equal footing, and if the speculation is true, Loki must be an ambitious person. It is hard to imagine that he would still be as friendly as before after becoming the Queen of Asgard.

"Miss Wizard, do you have any suggestions?"

At this moment, Fury turned his gaze to Jerry, who was deep in thought. Ever since Thor left the room, Jerry had been pondering something.

"No, I'm not a secret agent, and I'm not good at intelligence analysis. I'm only good at magic. If you find that Loki again, let me know, and I'll use magic to help you deal with him!"

Jerry waved his hand, no longer listening to Fury and Coulson's plans, and left the meeting room first.

He knew that Coulson's analysis was correct; at the very least, Odin certainly didn't die from excessive stress as Loki had suggested.

That's absolutely ridiculous!

If Odin's death was the reason for his demise, how much could Thor still trust him? But because of the pressure of war with the Frost Giants? Only Thor would believe him.

And if he remembered correctly, the reason Thor was able to return to Earth from Asgard in Avengers was because Odin used his power to send him back.

Jerry's main concern now is whether Loki is still on Earth or has already returned to Asgard, and how to find him or kill him to keep his true identity from being discovered for the time being.

So instead of listening to Coulson and Fury analyze things back and forth, why not go find Thor, build a rapport, and try to get some information about Loki?

Moreover, Loki probably won't let Thor off so easily; there will definitely be more to come. Otherwise, the Rainbow Bridge connecting the Nine Realms wouldn't have been damaged in Avengers 1, and Loki wouldn't have been banished to the universe.
