A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"Who...who are you?" Loki's lips trembled, and blood began to seep from his waist, quickly staining the sand blade that had cut him in half red.

Snapped!

Cao Gui placed one hand on Loki's head, activating the Reincarnation Erosion. Instantly, Loki's entire face changed from flesh-colored to bluish-brown, and then from bluish-brown to grayish-white.

In just a few breaths, Loki was completely dried up and turned into a desiccated corpse.

His skin was as dry as dried paper, and his entire body was a deathly gray-white.

"No! Loki!" Thor cried, picking up Fandral's rapier and throwing it straight at Cao Gui.

However, they were stopped by the sand wall that rose up beneath Cao Gui's feet.

However, Cao Gui, hidden behind the mask, frowned deeply. Loki was the god of lies and trickery; how could he die so easily...?

With a slight exertion of his five fingers, Cao Gui crushed Loki's head in his hand.

With a bang, Loki's head exploded into a pile of dust, and instead of a spine and trachea, his neck was covered in a pile of metal pieces.

puppet!?

A sense of alarm rose in Cao Gui's mind, and his body instantly turned into sand and became transparent.

But just then, a bone-chilling cold suddenly struck from his side, and Loki, holding the Box of Ice, grinned as he unleashed the chill on Cao Gui.

"You've destroyed one of my puppets, Midgard, you can't escape now!" Loki's body turned into a bluish-brown color resembling a frost giant. Only in this state could he unleash the full power of the Casket of Ice.

However, Cao Gui was still one step ahead; Loki's attack arrived too late, just as he finished transforming into his elemental form.

As the yellow sand swirled, Cao Gui raised his right hand and suddenly brought it down, his entire right arm instantly transforming into an arc-shaped blade that slashed towards Loki's neck.

Crescent-shaped sand dunes!

"!!!"

Loki's pupils suddenly contracted; for some reason, he felt the threat of death within the crescent-shaped sand blade.

He now has two choices: either fight to the death, withstand the attack, and freeze his opponent; or follow his heart and decisively dodge.

Loki chose the second option and immediately withdrew.

However, it was too late; the arc-shaped sand blade grazed his right arm.

Whoosh!

Loki appeared several meters away, his forehead drenched in cold sweat. His entire right forearm was nothing but grayish-white skin and bones, resembling a dried-up corpse.

On the other side, half of Cao Gui's body was sealed in ice, but with a gentle wave of his robes, that half of his body turned into yellow sand and flew out of the ice, slowly gathering onto Cao Gui's body.

"Damn it... Thor, how did you manage to mess with this guy?" Loki gritted his teeth, his withered, pale right hand pressed against the Ice Box, slowly absorbing its power.

If he weren't a Frost Giant, his entire arm might have been useless.

Chapter 281 We're Even (Third Update)

On the other side, Cao Gui raised his hand and waved, sending up yellow sand that swept up the wreckage of the Destroyer armor that had fallen to the side.

"System, redeem, confirm!"

After completing the process, Cao Gui received another 50 million merit points. Although this was half of the 100 million he received the first time, 50 million merit points was still a huge sum for him.

The wreckage of those two Destroyer armors alone had already made him a fortune on this trip.

What follows is a matter of personal grudges!

Cao Gui slowly raised his eyes, a flash of red light in them. It was time to avenge that fatal blow!

"Damn it!" Loki's face darkened. He was used to attacking from behind, and he thought that this time the advantage was in his hands, and he was going to have a fair and square fight to end Thor's life.

Unexpectedly, a roadblock appeared out of nowhere... no, it was clearly a man-eating tiger.

This guy didn't come to save Thor, he came to kill him. And now, this guy wants to kill him too!

"Thor, how did you manage to mess with this guy?" Loki gritted his teeth. If only he had known... if only he had brought the Spear of Eternity!

“I don’t know, but he clearly wants to kill you,” Thor said, his eyes wide with displeasure.

"Damn it... I hate head-on combat the most." Loki gripped the dagger, his Adam's apple bobbing slightly.

"Thor, son of Odin, the king of the gods? Loki, son of Laufey, the frost giant of Jotunheim?" Cao Gui moved lightly on the sand, slowly approaching.

"Hehehe, I'm very curious, how did you two become such good brothers?"

"What?" Thor was shocked, then flew into a rage, "You bastard, who are you? Why are you spreading such rumors?"

Loki's face was ashen, filled with murderous intent. This guy had actually revealed his biggest secret; he deserved to die!

Despite being a frost giant, Loki sees himself as an Aesir god, and all his actions are for the sake of Asgard, not Jotunheim.

"Hehehe..." Cao Gui sneered, took a step forward, and swung his right hand back to turn into sand, then slashed forward.

Clang!

Like a sharp blade being drawn from its sheath, the crisp sound of metal clashing instantly echoed throughout the town.

Four enormous sand blades suddenly materialized, their sharp, cold light piercing towards the six Asgardians.

Desert Diamond Sword!

Crocodile's ultimate attack!

"Shit..." Loki's murderous intent, which had just risen, vanished instantly; the power of that strike chilled him to the bone.

When did the Midgards produce such a powerful individual? And one who is so hostile towards them.

"Damn it, there's no way to hide now..." Loki clasped his hands together and pulled, and the icy blue Box of Ice appeared instantly.

Buzz!

Loki's body emitted an icy blue light, and his normal human skin quickly disappeared, replaced by a textured blue-brown skin.

"A Frost Giant?" Thor was shocked. So what the masked man said was true; Loki really was Laufey, the Frost Giant King.

boom!

An icy blue light burst forth from the Ice Box, and a bone-chilling cold instantly surged toward the four Vajra Sand Blades.

Click click click!

In an instant, the four Vajra Sand Blades that had been slashing down turned into a huge block of ice, which fell to the ground with a thud, landing not far in front of Loki.

"That was close... I almost died..." Loki was drenched in cold sweat.

However, before he could even finish celebrating, his feet suddenly went weak. Looking closely, he saw that the ground beneath him had turned into a whirlpool of quicksand, churning and swirling. The sand had already swallowed his ankles and was slowly engulfing him.

Desert sunflower!

Cao Gui turned his right hand into sand and pressed it onto the ground. This move, Desert Sunflower, not only swallowed Loki, but also Thor, Sif, Fandral, and the others behind him.

"Damn it!" Vostagg yelled. "Hogan, come with me and throw them out!"

"it is good!"

Vostagg grabbed Fandral with his intact left arm, then yelled and threw him away.

On the other side, Hogan also threw Thor and Sif out, one in each hand.

In the quicksand vortex, only Loki, Volstagg, and Hogan remained.

“This can’t go on…” Loki gritted his teeth, lifted the Box of Ice and pressed it down into the quicksand.

Instantly, an icy blue light shone, and Loki froze the entire quicksand vortex, including himself, Volstagg, and Hogan.

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. This guy really went all out, even freezing those two people as well.

Crack crack crack... Bang!

Loki broke free from the ice on his body and leaped out of the quicksand vortex.

Cao Gui sneered and continued to urge the desert sunflowers to grow.

Loki breathed a sigh of relief after escaping the quicksand vortex, but then he heard the sound of ice cracking behind him. Loki turned around to look.

All they could see was the swirling, churning quicksand slowly engulfing the heads of Vostagg and Hogan.

Immediately afterwards, with two soft "plop" sounds, two blossoms of blood stained the yellow sand and ice.

"No! Hogan! Volstagg!" Thor's eyes were bloodshot, but he could do nothing but watch helplessly as his two comrades died.

Hey~

[The host has killed the Asgardian warrior Volstagg, completing a "Destroy Evil" quest. Reward: 1 Merit Points, 5 Experience Points.]

[The host has killed Hogan, an Asgardian warrior, completing a "Destroy Evil" quest. Reward: 1 Merit Points, 5 Experience Points.]

Cao Gui raised an eyebrow. So few? Or did these two not make any major mistakes?

"Brother, I'm sorry," Loki said, catching his breath. "That was the only way I could think of to escape."

"Help me kill him." Thor clenched his fists and growled in a low voice, his eyes bloodshot.

“I can’t beat him… fine, since you’re my brother.” Loki was about to refuse, but Thor’s look made him swallow his words.

Moreover, he was also involved in the deaths of those two people.

He couldn't deny that.

"Hehehe... How terrifying." Cao Gui chuckled twice, lightly tapping his feet as he drifted slowly through wisps of yellow sand.

"I never imagined that the prince of Asgard would want to kill me. What an honor!"

Before he could finish speaking, a flash of green light appeared before his eyes, and three Lokis suddenly appeared beside him, each holding a dagger and aiming for Cao Gui's eyes.

He held the Ice Box in one hand, which emitted a faint blue light.

A red light flashed in Cao Gui's eyes as he scanned his surroundings with his Observation Haki. He couldn't use his eyes to perceive the world while fighting the God of Lies.

With a flick of his wrist, Cao Gui unleashed the crescent-shaped sand dune once more, ignoring the three Lokis attacking him from the side, and slashed directly at a void on his right.

Clang!

A spark flashed in the void as Loki launched himself from the empty space, retreating repeatedly to dodge the arc-shaped sand dune.

He had witnessed the power of this thing; if his body were hit, he would truly become a dried-up corpse.
