**Chapter 10: The Infinity Gauntlet**
Nagi slowly descended from the high altitude.
In his left hand, he carried Mjolnir, the symbol of the Thunder God's power.
In his right hand, he held Gungnir, the eternal spear symbolizing the supreme authority of the Allfather.
That Galick Gun just now not only blasted away the energy of the Bifrost.
It also shook this divine spear, which was inserted into the console, flying out.
It just happened to be caught by Nagi effortlessly.
"This is the Eternal Spear?"
Nagi twirled the spear casually, the golden tip tracing a sharp arc in the air.
"The material is not bad, much better than those scraps of copper and iron on Earth."
"It's just a bit light; even using it as a toothpick feels too thin."
Hearing this.
Thor, who had just recovered from his shock on the side, instantly had an extremely colorful expression on his face.
Toothpick?
That is Gungnir!
It is a causal weapon that never misses!
It is the symbol of the Lord of the Nine Realms!
"That... Powerhouse..."
Thor looked at Nagi's stance of "this stuff belongs to me now" and walked forward, bracing himself.
"Thank you for taking action to stop the disaster and saving Jotunheim and Asgard."
"But... Mjolnir and Gungnir, those belong to Asgard..."
"Belong to what?"
Nagi glanced at him sideways, interrupting Thor's words.
"Are they your treasures?"
"Mortal! Put down the weapons!"
At this time, Sif and the Warriors Three not far away also supported each other and surrounded him.
Although all of them were injured and could barely stand.
Seeing their country's protective artifacts being played with by an outsider.
That sense of honor engraved in their bones still made them unable to resist shouting.
"Those are the God King's weapons! Only the Allfather is qualified to hold them!"
"Mortal, don't think you can act recklessly in the Realm of Gods just because you have some power!"
Volstagg clutched his chest, blowing his beard and staring.
Looking at this group of warriors who couldn't even stand steadily, Nagi couldn't help but sneer.
"Some power?"
"I just saved all your lives and saved the Bifrost."
"Collecting two trophies, is that excessive?"
Everyone was speechless.
Indeed.
If not for Nagi, the Bifrost might have exploded by now.
Logically speaking, all of Asgard owed him a favor.
But those were weapons of the gods!
How could they fall into the hands of a mortal?
Just when Thor was struggling with how to euphemistically ask for the things back.
*Clang—!*
Two crisp sounds.
Mjolnir and the Eternal Spear were tossed onto the ground by Nagi casually, like throwing trash.
"Alright, stop putting on that face like your father died."
Nagi clapped his hands, looking disgusted.
"These two fire pokers, I really don't care for them."
"Apart from being a bit harder, there's nothing special about them. Carrying them is just cumbersome."
Thor, Sif, and the others were instantly dumbfounded.
Don't care for them?
Cumbersome?
These were divine artifacts that countless people dreamed of!
In this man's eyes, were they actually no different from stones on the roadside?
This was too hurtful to a god!
"However..."
Nagi changed the subject, his gaze passing over everyone, cast toward a certain direction deep in the Golden Palace.
There was Odin's underground vault.
"Since I'm here, I can't return empty-handed."
"I don't want these two pieces of junk, but I remember there seems to be a glove in your vault that looks somewhat pleasing to the eye."
Hearing the word "glove."
Thor's face changed drastically.
Of course, he knew what Nagi was talking about.
The Infinity Gauntlet!
Although Father King never mentioned the origin of that thing, he could feel the ominous aura contained in it.
"No! That is..."
Thor just wanted to stop him.
*Whoosh—!*
A gust of wind blew past.
Nagi's figure had already disappeared from the spot.
Leaving only a faint sentence echoing in the air:
"I am not discussing with you; I am just notifying you."
"This... he went in just like that?"
Fandral swallowed, watching the streak of light disappear in the direction of the Golden Palace.
"Are we going to stop him?"
Sif smiled bitterly, pointing at her thigh which was still oozing blood.
Then pointing at Heimdall next to her, who had started rolling his eyes.
"Stop him with what?"
"Catch his fist with our faces?"
Thor clenched his fist, then released it weakly.
He picked up Mjolnir from the ground.
That familiar touch allowed him to regain a little bit of confidence.
But thinking of Nagi's earth-shattering strike just now.
This little bit of confidence shattered into pieces instantly.
"Let him go..."
Thor sighed.
"After all, he helped us. It's just a glove, let him take it."
...
Odin's Vault.
This place was heavily guarded and full of traps.
But in front of Nagi, who possessed absolute power, all of this was useless.
Nagi didn't even move his hands against those guard soldiers.
Just the wave of Ki generated by his explosive aura pasted them all on the wall, impossible to pry off.
Walking into the vault.
A dazzling array of divine artifacts came into view.
The Casket of Ancient Winters, emitting a gloomy blue cold air.
The Tablet of Life and Time, covered with mysterious characters.
Even a giant eyeball, the Warlock's Eye.
But Nagi turned a blind eye to all of these.
He walked straight to a display stand in the vault.
There, a golden metal gauntlet was placed.
Inlaid with six gems of different colors.
The Infinity Gauntlet!
"Heh, that old geezer Odin, insisting on putting some fake gems on the real gauntlet."
Nagi picked up the gauntlet and unceremoniously reached out to pry.
*Click! Click!*
The six "Infinity Stones" inlaid on it were all pried off by him like prying plastic beads.
Thrown casually onto the ground.
Although these things were fake, the material of the gauntlet itself was genuine Uru metal.
And it was a mold meticulously crafted by the Dwarf King.
As long as he found the real Infinity Stones later and inlaid them, it would be the genuine article!
"The Tesseract isn't here..."
Nagi looked around.
At this point in time, the Space Stone was still being studied by S.H.I.E.L.D.
He had to wait until the end of *The Avengers* for Thor to take the Tesseract back to Asgard.
"No rush."
"Someone will deliver it to my door anyway."
Nagi put the empty Infinity Gauntlet on his right hand and tried clenching his fist.
Although it was a bit big, the gauntlet seemed to have an adaptive function and soon fitted his hand shape.
"Not bad."
Nagi nodded in satisfaction.
His figure flashed, disappearing from the vault again.
...
Bifrost entrance.
When Nagi appeared again, Thor was trying to wake up the unconscious Loki.
Loki was smashed quite badly by Nagi's "Hulk smash" and was still rolling his eyes.
Seeing Nagi return with that glittering golden gauntlet on his hand.
Thor's heart twitched violently.
But he didn't dare say anything.
"Wake up, stop playing dead."
Nagi walked forward and grabbed the back of Loki's collar like holding a dead dog.
Lifting him entirely to the edge of the Bifrost.
Below was the bottomless abyss of the universe.
That was the void rift leading to unknown dimensions.
The violent shaking finally allowed Loki to recover a trace of consciousness.
When he saw the endless abyss beneath his feet, his originally pale face instantly became even paler.
"You... what are you doing?!"
"Let go of me! I am a God! I am the King of Asgard!"
Loki struggled in terror, but in Nagi's hand, his strength was as weak as a baby's.
"What are you going to do to him?!"
Thor was shocked seeing this and hurriedly raised his hammer.
"Although he made mistakes, he is my brother! He is the Prince of Asgard!"
"He should be judged by Father King after he wakes up! Lock him in the dungeon!"
"Judgment?"
Nagi sneered, looking back at Thor.
"Your Asgardian laws can govern civilians, govern enemies."
"But can they govern the royal family?"
"Lock him in the dungeon? What kind of punishment is that for him? Is that letting him go on vacation?"
"No... I..." Thor was speechless.
Indeed, in Asgard, even if Loki committed a monstrous mistake, he would likely just be under house arrest for a few hundred years.
"Since you, the older brother, can't do it, then let him go where he should go."
Nagi glanced at Loki in his hand.
At this time, although Loki's eyes were full of fear.
But after hearing Nagi's words, a weird, successful smile actually curled up at the corner of his mouth.
He knew what falling down meant.
It meant he would come into contact with Thanos.
It meant he would gain stronger power and make a comeback!
"Looks like you are ready."
Nagi keenly caught that smile of Loki's.
But he didn't care.
Even, this was the result he wanted.
If he didn't throw this guy down to take advanced studies with Thanos, who would deliver the Mind Stone to Earth?
Who would open the Chitauri invasion instance?
Without an instance, where would the missions come from?
Without missions, where would the rewards come from?
As a mature System Host, one must learn to raise the BOSS oneself!
"Since you want to go, then get lost!"
Nagi let go of his hand.
"No!!!"
Thor let out a heart-wrenching roar and pounced over violently.
But he only grabbed a trace of the corner of Loki's clothes fluttering in the air.
Loki's figure fell rapidly, swallowed by that endless void.
The moment before he disappeared.
That sinister gaze, full of vengeful intent, was deeply engraved in Thor's mind.
"Loki!!!"
Thor knelt by the edge of the Bifrost, letting out a painful roar.
"Alright, stop howling."
"He won't die."
"Scourges last for a thousand years; this saying applies in the universe too."
Nagi glanced at Thor, who was still in grief.
Then looked at Heimdall, who was busy repairing the console over there.
The Asgard instance was considered cleared.
Rewards obtained, divine artifact swiped, BOSS released.
It was time to go back.
"Hey, golden eyes."
Nagi walked to Heimdall and kicked the console.
"Still usable? Send me back to Earth."
Heimdall clutched his wound, taking a deep look at this mysterious and powerful man.
He knew that Asgard owed this man a huge favor today.
Although he took the Infinity Gauntlet and threw the Second Prince into the abyss.
"Yes... the portal can barely open one more time."
Heimdall pulled out the Guardian Sword with difficulty and inserted it into the slot again.
"Where are you going? Still New Mexico?"
"No."
Nagi shook his head.
He remembered that in just these few days.
That green fatty would stage a demolition war with an earth-yellow monster in New York.
That was another good opportunity to farm missions!
"Send me to New York."
*Hum—!*
The light of the Bifrost lit up again.
Nagi's figure instantly disappeared into the pillar of light.
Leaving only the group of Asgardian gods, staring at that empty spot, speechless for a long time.
