"Sir?"
At that moment, Coulson, who was assigned to monitor Thor and confirm his identity, received a call from Fury.
"Coulson! There's been another strong energy fluctuation at your location, do you know what happened?"
"It's Thor's friends from Asgard. Four of them came this time. From the situation, it looks like they came to find Thor."
Coulson learned the news when Sif and the others contacted Thor.
Thor didn't hide anything from Coulson, since Coulson had already introduced their organization to him, and as an ally who also protected the world, Thor accepted their help to get settled on Earth faster.
He just hadn't expected that Sif would really come to Earth to find him, bring news that Odin wasn't dead, and on top of that, attract the Destroyer.
"What did Thor say? Did he decide to go back?" asked Fury.
In truth, he hoped that Thor would stay on Earth.
"I don't know yet, they're still talking."
"Fine, when it's over, the result—"
"Sir!"
At that moment, his agents interrupted Fury.
"What's happening?" Fury looked down.
"Sir! Someone else is coming to Earth again! Same location!!"
The agent looked at the same fluctuation signals and shouted.
"Coulson! Did you hear that? Go check it out!"
Fury furrowed his brow inwardly is this Thor situation going to become a huge mess?
"Understood!" Coulson nodded.
So, how many more people are coming to Earth?
Thor really was becoming a major problem!
Result: before they even managed to reach Thor, a battle had already broken out in the town streets.
A tall, silver-armored creature appeared on the street.
"That's the Destroyer?!"
"How dare Loki!?"
"Has he lost his mind!?"
Sif and the others were shocked; they hadn't expected that Loki would really send the Destroyer after them!
What does that mean?
Is he really planning to kill even Thor!?
"Huh? A robot? Is it strong?" Tony asked curiously, walking up to the window.
"Very strong!" Thor replied seriously.
"Really? I'll go test it out!"
Tony didn't believe it and said he wanted to test the strength of that robot!
After all, he was Iron Man!!
"Tony, don't rush in!" Thor tried to stop him.
But it was no use. Tony's personality had always been stubborn, very few people other than Potts could reason with him.
So Tony put on his upgraded portable suit and flew out.
"Let's go too! This is our Asgardian matter, we can't allow innocent people to get hurt!"
Thor said and was the first to run out.
"Wait for us!!"
...
"Stop! Earth isn't a place you can just come and go as you please, not even you, gods!"
Tony landed in front of the Destroyer to stop it from continuing its destruction of the town.
"Earthling. Die."
Loki, sitting on Asgard's golden throne, uttered indifferently.
He didn't care in the slightest about the lives of people on this exile world.
Well, except for Alaric.
The Destroyer's mask opened and fired a shockwave at Tony.
Tony veered sharply to the side and barely dodged it!
"Very well, war it is!"
After saying that, Tony activated the weapons systems on his suit and fired several mini-missiles.
Flames and smoke enveloped the Destroyer, and the powerful blast forced it to take several steps back.
But soon Tony realized that the Destroyer hadn't taken even the slightest damage, not a single scratch!
"Let's go help too!"
Sif and the others quickly joined the fight against the Destroyer.
Thor anxiously watched from afar.
"Loki… you really want to kill me?"
...
"You really won't help?"
Loki asked again through the projection.
"You really want me to get involved?"
Loki fell silent.
"Then be quiet." Alaric rolled his eyes.
"Alaric, can Thor handle it?" Jane asked anxiously.
"He can."
"Why do you trust Thor so much?" Loki couldn't help but ask.
"You think even I don't have the qualifications to inherit the God-King's throne?!"
"I don't know whether you have the qualifications or not, and it's not up to me. But the reason I trust Thor is because he's much simpler than you."
Alaric explained.
"..."
Loki blinked, you could've just said Thor is a fool, right?
But why do you trust a fool more than me?
"Loki, don't see Thor as just some idiot, careless, uninterested in the throne, and only loving to fight. That's exactly why he received Mjolnir's recognition."
"You could say that, aside from flaws like arrogance and pride, Thor has almost every virtue."
"You are burdened with too many thoughts, you love scheming, avoiding risks, planning everything, and because of that you lack the courage to charge straight ahead, that's the difference between you and Thor."
Alaric said seriously to Loki.
Sometimes those simple-minded 'fools with pure hearts' have a special kind of charisma.
Even if they fall and suffer defeats, there are always people who want to believe in them and support them.
And Thor was exactly that kind of person.
Loki, after hearing this, fell into deep thought.
Ring ring ring.
Suddenly, Alaric's phone rang.
"Don't tell me it's Fury again…" Alaric frowned.
But since he didn't have anything better to do anyway, he answered.
"Hello?"
"Alaric!"
A clear, sweet female voice came from the other side, surprising Alaric.
"Gwen? Why are you calling?" Alaric was taken aback.
"I'm in front of your door! But no one's answering, aren't you home?"
Gwen, dressed casually with a backpack on her back, stood in front of the temple door, boredly kicking pebbles.
Jane, who was across from Alaric, overheard the voice and raised an eyebrow.
"I'm not in New York right now, I've got some things to take care of. Do you need something?"
"Can't I come to see you even if I don't need anything?" Gwen pouted and asked sadly.
"Ahem, of course you can, you're always welcome, I was just asking out of curiosity since I'm not home at the moment."
Alaric glanced at Jane who had come closer to eavesdrop and felt a bit awkward.
"It's nothing urgent, I'll wait for you to come back, you finish up what you're doing first!"
"Okay, I'll probably be back today, I'll find you then."
"Alright! See you later!"
"Bye~"
Alaric hung up the phone.
"Who was that?" Jane asked curiously.
"You know Spider-Woman?"
"Spider-Woman? Never heard of her." Jane shook her head.
Lately she had been buried in writing her thesis, not following the news.
Even Darcy hadn't had time to slack off and check the headlines.
"She's a new hero who's appeared recently. She met me once and became a fan, so I gave her my contact. I guess that's why she came today."
Alaric explained.
"Ooh~ is she pretty?"
Alaric: ???
Loki: Alaric likes pretty women?!
