A Marine Admiral in the Marvel Universe

"The main road or this pile of rubble?" Thor snorted, clearly annoyed.

“I sent you to Vanaheim to manage Mother’s homeland, but you not only made a mess of it, you also secretly ran back to Asgard!”

Vanaheim is the home of the Vanir gods. Frigga, the wife of Odin, the king of the gods, came from the Vanir gods and from Vanaheim.

"Hey, wait!" Loki called out:

“I didn’t run back secretly. My father told me to go back, and he also called you. But you were captured by Sutter, and even Heimdall couldn’t find you. You can’t blame me!”

Loki argued, but he completely ignored Thor's accusations: "Vanaheim is a mess? Never heard of it."

This has absolutely nothing to do with the great god Loki.

Because of Cao Gui, Thor learned that Loki was not dead and stopped him from impersonating Odin and giving orders, so Asgard is still quite stable.

Heimdall wasn't forced to flee, and Sif is still guarding Asgard; the entire country is in good order...maybe.

Although there was no Ultron, Thor still dreamed of Ragnarok, went to Muspelheim, defeated Surtur, the leader of the fire giants, and brought his skull back to Asgard.

Thor thought this would stop Ragnarok in his dream, but... the key to Ragnarok wasn't Surtur, but Odin.

After Odin's death, there was no one left in Asgard who could keep order.

Thor is a reckless brute, all he knows is brute force. Compared to a king, he's more like a general. Loki... he's even worse than Thor. At least Thor can stand tall and dignified before the world, while Loki prefers scheming and plotting.

He'd rather talk than act, and resort to underhanded tactics than act honorably. He has none of the grandeur and majesty of a king; he's more like a powerful minister.

Add to that Hela's older sister who only thinks about amplification and slaughter... it's no wonder Asgard is doomed!

"Damn it, what do we do now?" Thor scratched his blond hair in frustration. Should he call for S.H.I.E.L.D.?

No, that's too embarrassing. This is a family matter, not a mission. I can't go to them.

Just as the two brothers were wondering where to find their father, a burst of swirling sparks appeared at Loki's feet, enveloping him.

Thor was completely bewildered by what happened and instinctively thought it was Loki's doing again!

"Loki, what is this? Take it back right now!" Thor shouted. Midgard was not the helpless garbage planet they had imagined. On the contrary, the two brothers had suffered quite a few losses here.

Not only were the two of them beaten black and blue and half-dead, but Thor's two comrades also died in Midgard.

It's dangerous to cause trouble, especially for someone like Loki with a criminal record.

“I didn’t do this…” Loki said cautiously. Of course he knew that, and he had been beaten much worse than Thor.

However, before he could finish speaking, Loki plummeted to the ground with a whoosh and disappeared.

"Wang Defa...?!" Thor couldn't help but exclaim, then stopped abruptly. At the same time Loki disappeared, a small piece of paper appeared on the ground.

Thor's eyes widened. He rubbed the card with his umbrella, and only after confirming there was no danger did he pick it up and see that there was an address on it.

Seeing this, Thor breathed a slight sigh of relief. Loki was not in any danger. Whether it was kidnapping or something else, the other party had no intention of harming Loki.

Moreover, his father is still in Midgard, so no one dares to harm Loki.

After thinking for a moment, Thor didn't hesitate and immediately went to the location on the card. The other party should be a powerful figure hidden in Midgard, who might be of some help in finding his father.

Before long, Thor arrived at the address on the card: 177A Brick Street.

Thor raised his hand and knocked on the door twice. Suddenly, with a whoosh, the space shifted, and he found himself in a slightly dark room. His heart clenched instantly.

Just as I suspected, this person was no ordinary individual; he was able to manipulate space without my noticing.

As the crown prince of Asgard, although he did not study magic, it did not mean that he had never been exposed to magic. He was all too aware of the strength of the spatial barrier on Midgard.

This level of spatial magic is definitely not something an ordinary person can do.

"Son of Thor, Odin..." A voice slowly came from behind. Thor's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously turned around to shield himself with his umbrella.

This is not actually an umbrella, but Mjolnir, his weapon.

In his line of sight, a figure wearing a cloak and floating in the air slowly drifted over. Because it was backlit, Thor could only see the shadow and could not make out the figure’s specific appearance.

Thor curled his lip, thinking, "What a boring, pretentious wizard..."

“Hello, God of Thunder.” Strange glanced at the umbrella in his hand; with his power, he could certainly see through its disguise.

“You can put your umbrella down now,” Strange said with a smile.

Thor felt a sudden urge, and a strange sensation made him subconsciously look down to check, only to find an umbrella stand at his feet.

After a moment's thought, Thor, who was much more mature than before, put his umbrella down.

However, as soon as he put it down, a gentle breeze blew by, and the space suddenly shook. Thor found himself in a bright and spacious hall.

Thor's lips twitched. This was quite a show of force; he was even a little shocked.

"So... there are wizards on Earth now?" Thor asked. "Is there something you need?"

“To be precise, a sorcerer,” Strange said with a smile. “I am Dr. Stephen Strange, and I have some questions for you.”

"Please have a seat."

As soon as the words were spoken, Thor was startled and relaxed his body slightly, letting the other party do as they pleased.

Sure enough, just like before, a breeze swept by, the space suddenly shook, and he found himself on a sofa.

“This is a mage who is proficient in spatial magic…” Thor roughly determined Strange’s identity and was extremely wary. After being beaten by the masked man, he no longer believed that force could solve everything.

Sometimes, these strange and wonderful abilities can accomplish many things that lightning cannot.

Moreover, the guy in front of him, who called himself a cryptic mage, could instantly cast spatial magic without him noticing, so his magical skills were definitely no less than those of his mother and brother.

“I have been monitoring people and things from other worlds because they may be a potential threat to this world.”

Strange said, "There are quite a few people who come to Earth, including one yesterday. I was planning to talk to him today, but I didn't expect you to come."

"That's fine, let's do it together then, anyway, you two seem to have a good relationship."

"Who?" Thor was completely bewildered. An outsider from Earth... he didn't seem to know such a person.

However, before he could finish speaking, Strange's relaxed body suddenly stiffened, then he straightened his back and his expression changed slightly.

"Mystic wizard, what's wrong?" Thor asked in confusion, but just like before, before he could finish speaking, a breeze arose and the space suddenly trembled.

Thor finds himself on the top floor of Stark Tower.

"Aaaaaah—!"

Beside the building, Loki in a black suit screamed as he fell, only to return to the sky through the Spark Gate and fall again. The cycle repeated itself.

"Hey, what are you up to now?" Thor's expression was unfriendly, but he was secretly a little happy. Loki looked pretty unlucky.

"I didn't do this!" Strange said gravely. Mirror Dimension? Who had such power? Who could forcibly pull him into Mirror Dimension?

Before he could finish speaking, the blue portal opened, and Cao Gui walked in, yawning.

------------

Chapter 465 The times haven't changed, but Strange has become arrogant.

"Ah~ the new Supreme Mage, quite bold indeed." Cao Gui yawned and said casually, "I'm curious, what made you decide to attack me?"

Strange's expression stiffened slightly. He thought Cao Gui was just a reckless warrior like Thor. Although he was incredibly powerful, he was helpless against him, who was skilled in spatial magic. However... Cao Gui turned the tables and showed him off.

And another thing... Strange got cocky!

Having joined Kamar-Taj in just six months, he not only healed his hands but also defeated the terrifying dimensional demons, and even inherited the title of Sorcerer Supreme from the Ancient One.

He was a genius to begin with, an extremely arrogant person. Before, it was alright, as he had just stepped into the hall of magic and had some sense of awe. But now... times haven't changed, but Strange has still become arrogant.

Thor glanced at Cao Gui, then at Strange, his eyes filled with amusement and a desire to see more chaos. "Let's start fighting! Let's get this going!"

"New Supreme Mage, you're being a bit tactless," Cao Gui said casually, flicking his finger and gathering invisible spatial power.

Seeing Cao Gui's unfriendly expression, Strange's eyes changed slightly. He formed a hand seal and pushed forward suddenly, causing the rooftop beneath his feet to extend rapidly, catching Loki as he screamed and fell.

With a thud, Loki bounced twice on the rooftop, looked around in shock, then tossed his head, his long hair flying behind him, and roared:

"Damn it! I've been falling for a full 30 minutes!"

As he spoke, he suddenly stood up, crossed his arms, and with a flick of his wrist, two gleaming daggers appeared in his hands.

"Hey! Hey! Loki, relax!" Thor quickly grabbed him and dragged him away from Cao Gui and Strange.

"Let the two of them finish this first, then you can settle accounts with that wizard."

Upon hearing this, Loki, who was burning with rage, instantly calmed down. He always preferred to take advantage of others rather than confront them head-on, and waiting for others to fight to the death before making his move was his favorite fighting style.

“Brother, you’re right…” Loki rarely agreed with Thor, but when he glanced at Cao Gui beside him, he froze and looked confused.

"Loki, what's wrong with you again?" Thor and Loki retreated to the edge of the rooftop. Seeing that his brother's expression was off, Thor quickly asked.

“That person looks familiar…” Loki’s expression suddenly turned serious, his playful and teasing demeanor vanishing in an instant.

“Loki…”

"Don't speak, let me think!" Loki said in a deep voice, but as soon as he finished speaking, Cao Gui's face quickly appeared in his memory.

He actually saw very few in Midgard, and even fewer black-haired black children. His first time in Midgard was... at the place where Mjolnir landed.

"Damn it, it's him!" Loki's expression changed drastically, even showing signs of fear.

"Loki, what are you talking about?" Thor was completely bewildered. What was going on?

“That person was your friend, and I killed him, but he’s not dead,” Loki said urgently in a low voice. When he first came to Midgard, he casually killed a troublesome guy.

They initially thought it was just an ant, but who would have thought it was actually a terrifyingly powerful being.

"???" Thor was still completely bewildered. When did I get a male Midgardian friend like this?

Seeing Thor's expression, Loki's lips twitched. No wonder Volstagg and Fandral died, no wonder he and Thor were beaten so badly. It turned out that the reason for everything was himself.

Realizing this, Loki's face turned pale, and cold sweat instantly broke out. If it weren't for his father watching over them, the two of them would probably be dead already.

"Loki, what happened?" Thor asked hurriedly.

"...It's alright, it's better that you don't know." Loki said weakly, "Brother, let's think about how to get out of here as soon as possible."

“I’m afraid that won’t work,” Thor said. “This should be a mirror space; we can’t get out without spatial magic.”

Loki: "..."

……

On the other side, from the moment Loki fell to the moment Thor dragged him away, only about ten seconds had passed between Cao Gui and Strange.
