In the Frost Giant Kingdom, Jotunheim, Loki looked at the primitive palace and the Frost Giant who only wore something around their waists, secretly clenching his fists.
"The resources I spend on one banquet are more than the money in the Frost Giant Kingdom's treasury. I am not some damn primitive tribal prince; I am a prince of Asgard."
Loki would never admit his origins; it was too embarrassing.
Laufey didn't know that the high-foreheaded man in front of him was his son. He sat on the Ice Throne and asked, "Prince of Asgard, what are you doing here?"
"I am here to give you a chance to kill Odin."
Loki said, "You help me kill Thor, and I will let you into Asgard to kill Odin."
Laufey became interested and asked, "Really?"
"Of course it's real. If Odin and Thor don't die, how can I become the King of Asgard?"
Loki said, "After it's done, I will return the Frost Giant' treasure, the Casket of Ancient Winters, to you."
"Odin is truly unfortunate to have a son like you."
Laufey stood up and said, "I accept your terms. I will send my personal guard legion to Earth to kill Thor, and of course, they will be teleported there using your Bifrost Bridge."
"No problem."
Loki nodded and used the Bifrost Bridge to return to Asgard. He sent the Frost Giant to kill Thor, wanting to verify one last time. If Thor really got his hammer back, it would mean that Mephisto was telling the truth.
In that case, Loki could only release Hela and the Great Serpent to fight Odin to the death.
If Thor was killed by the Frost Giant, that would be even better. He would let Laufey into Asgard, ambush and kill him, and then destroy the Frost Giant Kingdom. This way, he would become the true Prince of Asgard.
In Ampute Town, Thor was overjoyed to learn from the Four Warriors that his father was not yet dead. He shouted, "Loki is playing another prank on me! He's gone too far! When I get back, I'll definitely teach him a good lesson."
"Prank?"
Everyone present was bewildered. You call this a prank? Even the most naive person could see that this was a palace conspiracy.
Sif said helplessly, "Thor, I told you long ago that Loki is not a good person."
"Sif, Loki is my brother!"
Thor was a bit displeased. Sif shook her head helplessly. Just then, Coulson's grave voice came through Steve's earpiece: "Captain, a group of ice Aliens has rushed into town. We can't stop them."
Let's push the time back a bit. After the Four Warriors of Asgard arrived, Coulson led a group of Agents and drove to the outskirts of town to study the imprint left by the Bifrost Bridge.
Just then, a seven-colored beam of light descended from the sky. Everyone quickly dodged. When the light beam disappeared, two to three hundred tall, blue Frost Giant dressed like primitives appeared before them. At the very front was a monster with large tusks.
"That dead crow Barton, trouble has really arrived."
Coulson secretly swallowed his saliva. He hid behind the car, holding a loudspeaker and shouting, "Hello…"
The Frost Giant leader had no time for Coulson's nonsense. He directly condensed an ice cone and hurled it at Coulson. Coulson quickly dodged, and the ice cone slammed down, piercing through the car with a bang.
Seeing this, the other Frost Giant rushed towards the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents with their weapons. The Agents quickly opened fire, but their small-caliber pistols couldn't break through the ice armor on the Frost Giant.
Under these circumstances, the battle was naturally one-sided. Soon, several Agents were killed by the Frost Giant. Fortunately, the Frost Giant leader didn't take them seriously and rushed into town with the Ice Beast, searching for Thor.
"Damn it."
Coulson cursed and quickly informed Steve. Steve turned and shouted to Thor, "Thor, a group of ice Aliens has invaded the town. They might be the Frost Giant you mentioned."
"Frost Giant? Damn it, they must be here to kill me."
Thor cursed upon hearing this. He shouted, "I can't implicate you all, Steve, give me a car. I'll lead the Frost Giant away. Sif, you all come with me."
"I'll drive for you."
Steve nodded decisively. As the six of them ran out the door, they saw an Ice Beast rumbling towards them. Cars and pedestrians along the way were all sent flying, and screams filled the air.
"Ice Beast."
Thor's expression changed slightly. The Ice Beast was very troublesome. It was fine when he had his hammer, but the problem was, he didn't have his hammer now.
"Thor, hurry!"
The Four Warriors of Asgard shouted and voluntarily stepped forward to intercept the beast. Unfortunately, their strength was completely insufficient, and they were all sent flying by a single charge from the Ice Beast.
"Sif, Fandral…"
Thor was a hot-headed fellow. Seeing his companions sent flying, he immediately grabbed a nearby iron hammer and rushed up to smash the Ice Beast's leg. The Ice Beast raised its paw and slammed it down hard on him.
At the critical moment, Steve flew over and tackled Thor, narrowly dodging the Ice Beast's claw.
The Ice Beast tried to attack again, but Sif jumped onto its back and deeply plunged her spear into its body. The Ice Beast spun around in pain, continuously smashing into surrounding houses. Townspeople screamed and fled from their homes.
Jane's house was also hit by the beast. She and Selvig ran out, clutching a pile of research materials. Unlike them, Daisy kept filming the Ice Beast with her phone, continuously shouting things like 'Everyone, look!'
Jane shouted in dissatisfaction, "Daisy, are you still live streaming at a time like this?"
"My live stream audience has exceeded ten thousand, Jane! I'm going to be famous! Then, I won't have to serve that old woman who has no boyfriend and is hormonally imbalanced just for academic credits anymore!"
Daisy shouted excitedly, "Wow, over twenty thousand! Wow, Horn TV Station is following me!"
"…"
Jane looked bewildered. The old woman she mentioned who had no boyfriend and was hormonally imbalanced… could it be herself?
"Buddy, you're a bit too impulsive."
Steve pulled Thor up and said helplessly. Thor was about to say something when a group of Frost Giant appeared at the street corner. Seeing Thor, they were very excited. They signaled to each other while condensing ice cones and throwing them forcefully at Thor.
Steve and Thor quickly dodged. The ice cones flew past them, embedding themselves into the bodies of several townspeople, who screamed and fell.
Then, the Frost Giant roared and charged. Steve and Thor quickly picked up nearby shovels and hammers and began fighting them.
Although Steve and Thor were both brave, the numerical disparity was simply too great. Steve, in a moment of carelessness, had his wrist grabbed by a Frost Giant and suffered frostbite.
Thor quickly shouted, "Steve, don't let them grab you! They can control ice power."
Steve kicked away the Frost Giant in front of him and complained, "You could have told me earlier next time."
At this moment, Hawkeye Barton arrived with the Agents. Seeing the situation was dire, he immediately drew his bow and shot arrows, helping Steve and Thor fend off the Frost Giant.
"Run!"
The battle terrified the townspeople, who scattered in all directions. The approaching Frost Giant, seeing people in their way, unceremoniously cut them down.
The Frost Giant' physiques were several times stronger than Earth humans, and they could control ice power. Ordinary Earth humans were no match for them.
"Wasting souls is not a good habit."
Andrew shook his head, pulling the townspeople into an illusion, and at the same time commanded, "Peace Knights, move out."
Then, Andrew closed his eyes and used his magic to search every part of Ampute Town. He was looking for Mephisto; the other party wanted to fish in troubled waters and would definitely be watching this battle.
Whether Mephisto's projection personally arrived or he used magic to monitor remotely, he would leave traces. Andrew would find him eventually.
Following Andrew's command, the Inverted Cross spaceship appeared in the sky. Immediately after, a large number of robots descended, transferring the townspeople who had signed contracts.
Bang! Howard's black mech landed next to Steve. While firing pulse cannons to repel the charging Frost Giant, he excitedly shouted to Steve, "Captain, we can fight side-by-side again!"
"Excuse me, who are you?"
Steve got up and asked a bit awkwardly. Howard laughed heartily: "Captain, that's not fair. I used to introduce beautiful women to you every day."
Steve said, "Besides Bucky, I don't remember anyone introducing beautiful women to me. I only remember a guy named Howard who always stole the beautiful women around me. Uh, except for Carter, he couldn't get her."
"...I also hate that guy Howard. He's as unreliable as his son."
Howard felt very awkward. Then, he threw the shield on his body to Steve and said, "Just make do with this for now. Your shield is at S.H.I.E.L.D."
Captain America's shield is made of Adamantium and Vibranium, making it indestructible. This differs from the movie universe's pure Vibranium shield.
"I like shields."
With the shield in hand, Steve's combat power soared. He wanted to ask Howard who he was, but more and more Frost Giant appeared, so he could only prioritize protecting the powerless Thor.
Thor was very depressed about this. He took an iron hammer and actively fought the Frost Giant. When had Thor ever been protected by others?
Besides Howard, Punisher and Hulk also came down from the spaceship to help. Only Trask was absent—he was building a new base on the moon.
Da da da…
Frank held a large-caliber giant submachine gun and fired wildly at the Frost Giant. Even the Frost Giant were shot, sending ice fragments flying and their bodies shattering.
That wasn't all. Missiles continuously popped out from Frank's back, hitting the Frost Giant with white tails and exploding, instantly blowing the Frost Giant into pieces.
Frank alone was like an army. In a short time, more than a dozen Frost Giant died tragically at his hands, and the Frost Giant' offensive immediately slowed down.
"Soldier, you're very strong."
Steve breathed a sigh of relief and shouted, "Watch your ammo. This battle won't end that quickly."
"Don't worry, his bullets won't run out."
Howard said with envy, jealousy, and hatred. The battle suit plus his Ability made Frank the most terrifying presence on the battlefield.
While speaking, Howard controlled a squad of armed robots to join the battle, and the scene immediately became even more intense.
"Infinite bullets? Is the technology of your era too exaggerated?"
Steve misunderstood. He shook his head and swung his shield, vigorously attacking the charging Frost Giant.
