Chapter 198: One Cut
Loki looked at this scene, and all his reluctance and grievances finally turned into a bitter smile. He realized that in this journey of redemption and understanding, he should perhaps move forward with a completely new attitude. So, he sorted out his emotions and decided to win the trust and understanding of the woman who had slapped him in the face with a more mature and sincere attitude. "Okay, let's start from this moment and rewrite our story." He swore in his heart, with an unprecedented light flashing in his eyes. In the space-time rift intertwined with ancient magic and unknown forces, Loki thought that everything was calm and was ready to quietly exit. The female warrior Sif was like the brightest comet in the night sky. With lightning speed, she gently placed her frost sword on the side of Loki's neck. There was only a ray of moonlight between the cold blade tip and the warm skin - 0.01 cm, which was the subtle boundary between life and death. Loki's heart suddenly tightened, as if he had glimpsed his shaky position in the Asgard court.
"Loki, if you dare take a step of betrayal, the tip of this sword will be the music of your end." Sif's words were like the cold winter wind, biting and resolute.
Facing this sudden threat, Loki not only did not retreat, but on the edge of the abyss of despair, he bloomed a sly smile, in which was hidden trickery and self-mockery: "Once upon a time, I held the most precious family bond in the world, but I easily waved it away like dust. But please believe that at this moment, I have reflected deeply. On the road ahead, I will prove with my actions that I am more worthy of the trust and expectations than anyone else." After that, he gently pushed away Sif's sword with an elegant posture that was almost like dancing. His figure flashed, and like a ghost in the mist, he penetrated Sif's defense line, leaving a string of silver bell-like laughter echoing in the air.
However, fate always seems to play tricks on people. Just as Loki was about to escape, a burly, bearded dwarf named Volstagg suddenly appeared, like a mountain giant from an ancient legend. He stood on tiptoe and placed a huge battle axe firmly on Loki's shoulder. The air was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
"If you dare to be disloyal in the slightest, I..." Volstagg was interrupted by Loki before he could finish his threat.
"What can you do? It's nothing more than a single blow." Loki looked down at the loyal warrior, his eyes revealing a bit of disdain and helplessness. "However, I advise you to give up your position to the warriors queuing behind you, or simply don't get involved in this meaningless contest."
Volstagg was bewildered, obviously not expecting Loki to respond in this way. The air around him froze instantly.
At this moment, Thor walked into the hall with an irresistible kingly aura. Lu Yifang and Luna had been waiting for a long time. What Luna was holding in her arms was not an ordinary object, but an ice-blue cube larger than a basketball - the Ice Box, the legendary heart of Ymir, which exuded a heart-pounding chill.
"It seems that you have found the source of that power." Thor saw through Luna's secret at a glance.
"Time waits for no one. If we don't take it now, when will we take it?" Lu Yifang smiled meaningfully.
Loki interrupted, looking around as if searching for something: "So, where is our means of transportation to escape from here?"
Thor chuckled and pointed to a corner of the hall, where a dark elf blade warship that had broken through the barrier of time and space was parked. Its sharp edge shone with a deadly light under the refraction of light. "It is our Noah's Ark." Thor said, striding towards the warship, ready to start a new journey.
