In just two or three minutes, the people of Manhattan seemed to have been transported from the great United States to a war zone in the Middle East, experiencing firsthand what it means to be caught in a hail of bullets.

“Shit… So this is the war Cao was talking about…” Inside the Osborne Building, Gwen’s pretty face was filled with shock.

A few days ago, Cao Gui told her about this and suggested that she go away to hide, for example, to Miami to reunite with her parents and brothers.

But Gwen refused. Cao Gui didn't intend to leave, so she didn't want to leave either. Besides, she wasn't someone who couldn't even kill a chicken. Cao Gui was quite helpless about this and almost knocked her unconscious and sent her away, but in the end he didn't do it.

Gwen lightly touched the ground and quickly returned to her laboratory, where she donned the armor she always carried with her.

……

Stark Tower, armory.

This is where Tony removes her armor.

Loki stood atop the hill, watching the Chitauri soldiers rush past him, listening to the cries and screams of the mortals below, and a smile crept onto his lips once more:

"In this world, I am the only king, and all nine worlds will submit to me for eternity."

"And now... let's start with Midgard!"

"Hahaha!"

"Loki."

A calm voice sounded behind him, startling Loki. He immediately turned around and saw a masked man in black robes with a strange smile on his face.

"It's you!?"

Loki's pupils suddenly contracted, and his relaxed expression instantly turned alert. He hadn't forgotten how this man had utterly thrashed him in the desert.

If not... wait? A desert?

Thinking about this, Loki finally realized:

"Hehehe, this isn't a desert, your abilities won't be of much use here."

Having figured this out, Loki immediately sneered, "Last time you only won because you didn't have the advantage of timing or location. This time, let's see how much strength you still have!"

With this thought in mind, Loki pointed his spear forward and said coldly, "Midgardians, this planet will be under the rule of me, Loki Odinson, from this day forward."

"From this day forward, I shall be the King of Midgard!"

"Submit to me, and I will forgive your past transgressions. Be my vanguard and atone for your past sins of offending the king!"

"Hehehe..." Cao Gui sneered, slowly raising his right fist. A dense Armament Haki wrapped around it, instantly revealing a ferocious killing intent.

Seeing this, Loki's face suddenly turned ferocious: "Since you are unwilling to submit to me... then you shall die!"

Bang!

Loki stomped his foot hard, the powerful recoil leaving a deep footprint on the hard armor-removing platform, and his pale green figure suddenly rose higher.

With a soft hum, the scepter and spear in his hand suddenly lit up, a faint blue light clinging to the spear, and surging energy roared up. With a hum, the spear slashed down fiercely at Cao Gui's forehead.

Loki's handsome face was filled with murderous intent; anyone who dared to stand in his way of becoming king had to die!

Crackling sounds!

On his right hand, which was wrapped in Armament Haki, tiny arcs of electricity flickered, with blue and purple sparks moving erratically.

Facing Loki's scepter descending with all its might, Cao Gui lightly touched the ground with his foot, concentrated all his strength in his right fist, and unleashed a powerful punch.

Clang!

Bang!

The golden spear suddenly slashed down, and Cao Gui was instantly split in two. However, Loki's face showed no joy, but rather fear.

In his perception, he did not experience the exhilarating feeling of splitting flesh and blood, nor the obstructive feeling of severing bones.

At the same time, Cao Gui's fist, crackling with electricity and black domineering aura, arrived like a thunderclap.

Danger! !

Loki was horrified, but it was too late...

boom!!

As if an endless thunderbolt had exploded in his mind, Loki's handsome face twisted endlessly, his uneven teeth grinding together, and his face was being pounded by fists until it was a mess.

"drink!"

Cao Gui roared and thrust his fist forward, unleashing all his surging power.

Bang!

Loki's neck was torn and stretched by a tremendous force, and the terrifying force acted on his right cheek, sending his entire body flying backward.

Boom boom boom!

Below, amidst the towering skyscrapers of New York, clouds of dust erupted one after another, and countless reinforced concrete walls were smashed open by Loki.

Finally, he crashed into the rubble, unconscious, his eyes rolled back, staring silently at the sky, making an incomprehensible "Ee-ee" sound.

"Loki, repeat what you just said. What kind of king do you want to be?"

Seeing Loki unconscious, Cao Gui sneered and slowly withdrew his punch.

Chapter 316 Is Thor alright?

Huhuhu~

Just then, a rapid whistling sound came from the horizon, and a figure in a red cloak descended from the sky, landing on the armor-removing platform where Loki had been standing.

"You bastard!" Thor pointed his hammer forward, his eyes blazing with fury. "You killed my companions, my friends, and you dare to show your face in front of me like this?!"

"I not only killed those two Asgardians," Cao Gui said, pointing to Loki, who was contemplating life amidst the ruins below, and chuckled.

"I also hit your brother."

"How are you? Happy? No need to thank me, I'm always easy to talk to."

"Damn it!" Thor's blond hair danced wildly, his face contorted with rage.

"You bastard! You hit him so hard! I've never even hit my brother like that!"

"Thor, calm down. Our first priority is to deal with the Chitauri army..." Steve shouted through the headset.

The four of them had arrived in their Quinjet fighters and were clearing out the Zeta Swiss soldiers on Sixth Avenue and Park Street.

But before he could finish speaking, Thor raised his hammer high, and in an instant, a whirlwind raged, lightning flashed and thunder roared, and silvery-white lightning flashed and roared in the sky.

"Today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!" Thor's eyes flashed with brilliant lightning, and he swung down the Mjolnir he had raised high.

Boom!

A massive, silvery-white lightning bolt, as thick as an adult's arm, suddenly struck down from the sky, enveloping Cao Gui from all directions.

Two blocks away, atop the Osborne Tower, Gwen threw two pumpkin bombs, wiping out two squads of Chitauri soldiers. Expanding the battlefield, she noticed the distant Stark Tower, where lightning flashed.

Although she knew that Cao Gui had the ability to control lightning, Gwen couldn't help but worry when she saw Thor's attack.

"I don't care who you are, today, your head will be placed on the altar of my Valhalla in Asgard!"

Thor brandished his meow hammer, his face contorted with rage and ferocity, resembling a lion king in a fit of fury.

Rumble!!

Boundless lightning crashed down, striking Cao Gui precisely. In an instant, dazzling silver-white lightning burst forth from where Cao Gui was floating, like a second sun rising over New York.

Such a terrifying phenomenon caused even ordinary people fleeing for their lives, nypd in battle, and Chitauri unleashing their full power to stop and watch.

Crackling sounds!

Thick, molten lava crackled with electric snakes, and the crackling of lightning echoed like a torrential downpour. Then, the lightning, which resembled a small sun, began to shrink rapidly.

In just a few breaths, lightning gathered on a black hand, slowly contracting along the arm until only a noisy arc of electricity, like the chirping of birds, remained in the palm.

"That's all?" Cao Gui chuckled, his contemptuous laughter like steel needles piercing the heart of the Asgardian crown prince.

"This...this is impossible! Impossible!" Thor's expression froze, then turned to disbelief, before he roared:

"How could you possibly be alright?! How could you be immune to lightning?!"

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! You were clearly the one controlling the sand last time!"

On Park Street, the four Avengers looked completely bewildered. Wasn't that masked man a werewolf? How come he wasn't afraid of lightning? And what did Thor mean by controlling the sand last time?

"Uh... kids, could you explain this to this old man?" Steve scratched his head... but couldn't find it, so he could only scratch his own American-style buttocks.

He began to suspect that he had been asleep for not seventy years, but seven thousand years, otherwise how could New Yorkers have evolved to use lightning?

The remaining three, including Peter, were equally bewildered, especially Peter, who had no idea that a Thor comparable to the God of Thunder of Asgard had appeared in his city... Thor?

The top of Stark Tower.

"Ha, the gods of Asgard..." Cao Gui sneered, his right palm clenching suddenly, crackling arcs of electricity emanating outwards and then wrapping around Cao Gui's arm.

"He can't even use lightning, yet he calls himself Thor?"

"You..." Thor's expression changed drastically. The electrical charges in the air were rapidly gathering, a sign that a lightning attack was imminent.

The next moment, Cao Gui waved his right hand, and a surge of lightning suddenly leaped out, transforming into a giant silver-white lightning wolf in mid-air. Its blood-red maw opened wide, revealing its sharp fangs, and its yellowish-brown beast eyes contained a chilling light.

In a flash, the Thunder Wolf struck Thor's shoulder with lightning speed.

Crackling sounds!

Rumble!

In an instant, lightning flashed and thunder roared on the armor removal platform, bursting forth with intense lightning. Countless electric snakes flickered and stretched out, relentlessly bombarding the Stark Tower.

"Aaaaaaahh ...

Amidst the lightning, Thor's agonizing howl echoed, and faintly, a dark shadow seemed to twist within it.

Down on the street, Steve, who had just taken down two minions, looked up and immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Do you think... Thor will be alright?"

“Uh…” Peter Parker, dressed in red and blue battle suits, reached out and ripped off a flying vehicle, quickly killing the Chitauri soldiers. He was about to say a few good words for Thor.

But just then, with a "whoosh," an object flew out of the lightning, trailing a long plume of white smoke behind it.
