As Natasha Romanoff's advice still didn't work, Steve Rogers, worried about a major problem, jumped off the plane just like in the original plot, following Tony Stark into the stormy sky.

The only difference was that this time, Captain America didn't use a parachute, but instead activated the nanoplasmic pulse propulsion unit on the 'Patriot' power armor, following Tony Stark at a speed no less than his.

Faced with this result, Natasha Romanoff, who was well aware of someone's strength, shook her head and turned the plane around to follow.

On the other side, Thor, who had brought his brother Loki to a mountaintop, was having a heated argument with him, driven by deep love and sternness.

Unfortunately, Thor's language skills were no match for Loki's.

As they spoke, not only did he fail to find out the whereabouts of the Cosmic Cube, but he also got quite angry.

"Excuse me, gentlemen," Liu Rui, who suddenly appeared in the air above the mountaintop, waved and said, "Thor, it's been a while."

"It's you!" Thor, who instantly turned his head, recognized the person and said with some surprise, "Indeed, it's been a while. It seems you've become even stronger."

Knowing that this wasn't the time for reminiscing, Liu Rui didn't waste words and said directly:

"Thor, I know you're here for the Cosmic Cube, but you know your brother better than anyone. Expecting him to tell you where the Cosmic Cube is is like asking that guy to predict it for you."

"That guy?" Thor, who was taken aback, then said, "You mean the Seer?"

"Exactly. Apart from him, I can't think of anyone who would know clearly where the Cosmic Cube will appear," Liu Rui, floating in the air, shrugged and said.

If it were anyone else, they would likely doubt the Seer's abilities as described.

But for Thor, the experience in New Mexico gave him a good understanding of the Seer, even though he hadn't met him yet.

As Thor hesitated, Loki, standing nearby, looked at Liu Rui with interest.

"Loki, the former king of Asgard, though the throne wasn't exactly honorable," Liu Rui, meeting his gaze, suddenly smiled and said.

"Dishonorable? I am the true king of Asgard! They betrayed me and pushed me into the abyss!" Loki's face twisted with anger.

"Betrayal?" Liu Rui, shrugging, smiled and said, "When did the offspring of the Frost Giants become eligible for the throne of Asgard?"

"By the way, I heard that if you hadn't deliberately let the Frost Giants into Asgard, your brother would have become king long ago."

"Did the Seer say that?" Loki, who instantly calmed down, asked.

"Yes," Liu Rui nodded and replied.

"What else does he know?" Loki asked.

Liu Rui, who knew that the trickster god was probably already plotting against him the moment they met, smiled and said:

"He knows a lot, for example, about the one you met during your exile."

This time, Loki's face truly changed.

Jokingly, if it weren't for that person's favor, he wouldn't have had this opportunity.

"Are you trying to scare me?" Liu Rui, noticing the uncertainty in Loki's eyes, smiled and said, "The name of that person, in Earth's language, starts with a 'T', right?"

"Who are you!" Realizing that this person indeed knew about Thanos, Loki calmed down.

Liu Rui, who continued to impersonate a character from "Diablo 3," revealed his identity for the first time:

"My name is Imperius Angel, an angel, the Archangel of Valor."

As Liu Rui revealed his identity, a pair of snow-white wings large enough to envelop his entire body soon unfolded in Thor and Loki's sight.

"So, you're not from Earth?" Thor, noticing the sacred aura emanating from him, said.

"More accurately, not entirely," Liu Rui, spreading his wings and then retracting them, continued seriously:

"Thor, come back to S.H.I.E.L.D. with me. Don't waste your time on him; it's useless."

"No! Loki is my brother, and he will listen to my advice," Thor, holding his hammer, shook his head and said.

"Oh, my brother, you are so naive," Loki, standing nearby, laughed and mocked.

"Did you hear that? Even Loki doesn't agree with you. Well, see you later."

Liu Rui, without giving Thor a chance to speak, disappeared with a "Biu~," taking Loki, who hadn't reacted, with him.

"Imperius!!" Thor, holding his hammer, was furious to see his brother disappear before his eyes.

But before he could fly, Thor was knocked away by Iron Man, who dove from the sky.

Meanwhile, Liu Rui, who had disappeared, did not immediately appear on S.H.I.E.L.D.'s helicarrier.

"Where are we?" Loki, who found himself in a cabin floating in Earth's orbit, asked in surprise.

"I know what you're thinking, Loki," Liu Rui, who was well aware of his cunning, said calmly, "This is a temporary space station in Earth's orbit. If you make any sudden moves, this place will fall."

"Shouldn't I be taken to S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Loki, looking out the transparent window at the large blue planet, laughed.

"You will definitely go to S.H.I.E.L.D., but before that, I want to talk to you about something," Liu Rui, understanding his meaning, shrugged and said:

"Of course, you can refuse."

"Why refuse? I'm very interested in what you have to say," Loki, finding a place to sit, smiled.

Looking at his evil smile, Liu Rui, suppressing the urge to kick him, said:

"If you think the Chitauri army can conquer Earth, you'll be disappointed."

"Don't tell me you think S.H.I.E.L.D. can save Earth?" Loki, not taking it seriously, laughed.

"That's right. Even without my help, with your brother and the others, the Chitauri army can't conquer Earth," Liu Rui, ignoring his arrogance, changed the subject:

"But that's not what I want to talk to you about."

"I'm listening," Loki, looking at him, said.

"I want to make a deal with you," Liu Rui, not wanting to waste words, said.

"Did I hear wrong, or did you say wrong?" Loki, tilting his head, stared at him and laughed.

"I need your magic. In return, I will ensure your safety during the invasion of Earth," Liu Rui, ignoring his sarcasm, said straightforwardly.

Faced with this proposal, Loki didn't speak, but the playful look on his face made Liu Rui want to stomp on him.

Seeing that a quick deal was impossible, Liu Rui, feeling annoyed, said:

"I know you are the descendant of the Frost Giant Laufey, grew up in Asgard, and inherited your adoptive mother Frigga's magic."

"During your exile, you met Thanos and learned of the power of the Cosmic Cube."

"Even more, I know that all you've done is just a child trying to get the attention of adults."

"Unfortunately, no matter what you do, you are destined to never become the king of Asgard."

"Even if you could kill your biological father Laufey and the All-Father Odin, you still wouldn't become the king of Asgard."

"In everyone's eyes, you are destined to be a failure, a traitor, cannon fodder, and a laughingstock!!"

"Enough!" Loki, standing up suddenly, said with a twisted face, "I am a god! I am a god of Asgard!!"

"God?" Liu Rui, looking him up and down, sneered, "What a weak god."

At that moment, a message from a satellite monitoring Thor and the others arrived.

Seeing Thor, Iron Man, and Captain America fighting despite his intervention, Liu Rui was speechless:

"Wow, they're still fighting."

But this change in expression was misinterpreted by Loki.

"Alright, we can make a deal," Loki, quickly regaining his composure, said, "But you want my magic just to protect me, which is unfair."

"I just want your ability to change appearance and to summon the Frost Box at will," Liu Rui, not being polite, said.

Loki, quickly understanding what he wanted, smiled and said:

"Alright, but two spells for just my safety is still unfair."

Liu Rui, who wanted to say, "Is your life worth only two spells?" thought of Thor's brother, who hadn't given up on saving him.

The words on the tip of his tongue changed to: "If I add a planet? A civilized planet."

"A planet?" Loki, somewhat surprised, said.

"Yes," Liu Rui nodded and said, "I know you invaded Earth to prove your ability, to show that you can manage a planet, a civilization."

"To prove that your philosophy is right for managing Asgard. If so, I'll give you a civilized planet to manage. How about it?"
