Chapter 62 - The Three Strikes

Upon hearing Heisenberg's words, Loki's expression remained unchanged.

His bewildered look almost made Heisenberg feel sorry for him.

Of course, beyond the pity, Heisenberg wanted to laugh. Loki's clueless expression was hilariously entertaining.

He stood there, utterly confused, for a full six or seven seconds.

Who knows what he was thinking, until his eyes regained their spark, and he roared at Heisenberg,

"How dare you treat your god this way!!!"

"Heh, still got the energy to be arrogant?"

Facing Loki's roar, Heisenberg leaned in, casually grabbing Loki's collar.

But Loki's body instantly faded, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on a street over fifty meters away.

At this point, Loki's face was filled with anger. He clapped his hands, instantly brushing off the dust from his body.

Simultaneously, his disheveled clothes and crooked helmet returned to normal.

After tidying himself up, Loki glared at Heisenberg and roared,

"God of Midgard, do you think the Prince of Asgard would fall so easily?!

Earlier, I was merely caught off guard, and you got lucky with that sneak attack!

Now, I'll show you the true power of a god!"

As the words left his mouth, Loki pointed the Scepter directly at Heisenberg.

Brilliant blue light shot forth, heading straight for Heisenberg's chest.

Facing Loki's attack, Heisenberg stood his ground, intrigued.

He allowed Loki's energy beam to strike his chest.

In an instant, Heisenberg's shirt showed a circular tear.

The damn energy had actually penetrated Heisenberg's bio-force field, damaging his clothes!

To put this in perspective, even the Hulk couldn't damage Heisenberg's clothes protected by the bio-force field, but Loki had done it!

Or rather, the Space Stone absorbed into the Scepter had caused spatial fluctuations in Heisenberg's bio-force field, disrupting its balance of forces.

Realizing this, Heisenberg smiled at the stunned Loki.

"You actually damaged my clothes. Not bad!"

Hearing this, Loki's face turned pale with anger, his jaw clenching tightly.

Because he'd seen Heisenberg's exposed skin!

It was completely unharmed!!!

This result left Loki stunned, raising the Scepter and measuring the distance, feeling a headache coming on.

I used eighty percent of my power, and all I did was damage his clothes…?!

In an instant, Loki regretted coming to Midgard!

Why would such a backward place have someone so monstrous?!

He and Thor had fought countless times, though never seriously, but they knew each other's strengths.

Thor was indeed stronger, but not this strong!

This god among men was at least several times stronger than Thor!

Maybe even ten times!!!

This wasn't a fair fight!!!

Even my father might struggle against him!!!

Thus, Loki stood speechless, mouth open but unable to speak for half a day.

Seeing Loki's state, Heisenberg chuckled.

"Realized the gap between us?"

As he spoke, the sand and soil around his feet began to float.

It was a sign of his bio-force field reactivating.

Then, Heisenberg extended his right hand.

He rubbed his exposed chest, then ripped his already damaged shirt open!

He floated about twenty centimeters above the ground, his hair swaying gently with the force field's flow.

Most of his torn shirt fell away, leaving only fragments caught in his belt.

If a true DC comics fan were here, they'd notice:

Aside from hair and skin color, Heisenberg now resembled the comic's super Kryptonian, Hal Jordan.

Though Loki didn't know who Hal was, he understood Heisenberg's strength.

If not for magic sustaining his body, Loki would be dealing with broken ribs!

He was an Asgardian god, yet Heisenberg's punch had broken his ribs.

It was unbelievable!

But no matter the shock, Loki maintained his composure.

So, upon hearing Heisenberg's question, Loki smiled.

"Shib… Wet… Eez…"

He spread his hands, still smiling.

"What a surprise! I didn't expect Midgard to have someone as strong as you!

I must admit, though we've only clashed once, your strength has earned my respect, friend!"

He spoke, slowly approaching Heisenberg.

"But I can't understand why someone as strong as you hasn't ruled Midgard.

Trust me, no matter your current life, ruling this planet would make it infinitely better!

So, I formally invite you.

If the Asgardian me and the Midgardian you join forces, our vision will surpass the Nine Realms!

This planet will be just the start of our conquest, and our footsteps will exceed your imagination!

To prove my sincerity, I'll share my treasured Scepter with you.

I've already obtained the Space Stone from Midgard, so the Mind Stone isn't as crucial to me!

If you don't know what the Mind Stone is, feel its power yourself.

Don't worry about tricks; I'll throw the Scepter to you. Just catch it, and you'll feel its might and my sincerity!"

He spoke seriously, and as his words ended, he threw the Scepter toward Heisenberg!

Watching the Scepter fly toward him, Heisenberg didn't reach out. He seemed to have an idea.

The subsequent events confirmed his guess. In Heisenberg's superhuman senses…

The moment the Scepter left Loki's hand, the figure left behind was just a shadow.

The real Loki quickly turned invisible, following the Scepter as it flew toward Heisenberg!

As the Scepter fell near Heisenberg, the invisible Loki caught it mid-air.

Though surprised Heisenberg didn't catch the Scepter, Loki didn't care. He thought he'd fooled Heisenberg's eyes!

He grabbed the Scepter, pressing it against Heisenberg's chest.

Then, he revealed himself, bursting into laughter.

High above, in the sky carrier, Hill watched in shock!

Having seen Loki control Natasha in the video, Hill knew the Scepter's power!

She knew Heisenberg was a Kryptonian, Superman from the comics.

But even if Heisenberg was Superman, Superman's magic resistance and mental fortitude…

Hill was terrified. If Heisenberg were controlled and turned against Earth, the planet would be defenseless!

Sharing Hill's concern, Loki was triumphant, arrogantly roaring,

"Indeed, you have great power, and I have unmatched wisdom. We should join forces!

Now, let your power become mine, and together we'll conquer the Nine Realms, Heisenberg of Midgard!

I'll use your strength to rule the Nine Realms, defeat my foolish brother and father, but first, you'll pay for insulting me!

Kneel!!!"

He shouted, his neck veins bulging with excitement.

He channeled the Scepter's power, instantly attempting to control Heisenberg…

Control…

"Hmm?"

Watching Heisenberg's unchanged pupils, feeling his mind untouched…

Loki was stunned again…

He tilted his head, incredulous, pressing the Scepter against Heisenberg's chest again.

Clang!

This time, he used more force, the Scepter and Heisenberg's chest producing a metallic clang.

"This… This…!!!"

In that moment, Loki felt his youth slipping away…

He wanted to return to Asgard…

Meanwhile, Heisenberg, under countless anxious gazes, coldly lifted his right hand, gripping Loki's neck.

"Your tricks seem ineffective, but I liked your last line."

Heisenberg spoke, lifting Loki and slamming him to the ground!

Boom!

After the shockwave, the crater deepened, and the affected area widened.

About two hundred meters away, some brave citizens hadn't fled, watching Heisenberg's display.

But now, they covered their ears and closed their eyes.

When they reopened them, Heisenberg was speaking to the seemingly powerless Loki.

Heisenberg said,

"What did you say last?

Kneel?

Since you like making people kneel, why not try it yourself?"

As he spoke, Heisenberg's pupils emitted scorching heat.

The heat vision accurately struck beside Loki, instantly creating a pool of molten lava!

Facing such blatant threats, Loki closed his mouth, stunned, and struggled to his feet.

He showed no shame, even a hint of joy, saying to Heisenberg,

"Your power is astonishing, Lord Heisenberg.

Even the Mind Stone, one of the Infinity Stones, couldn't sway your resolute heart.

Against such greatness, I can never win.

A wise man knows when to choose, and I make my choice.

I'll be your pawn, serving you!

Loki, the unworthy Prince of Asgard, is honored to serve you!"

Loki spoke, suddenly kneeling before Heisenberg.

But Heisenberg finally showed a hint of surprise.

You think he was surprised by Loki's submission?

Of course not!

He thought,

"Damn, first a sneak attack with bravado, then a treasure offering for a sneak attack, now a fake surrender for a sneak attack. Is this the legendary Loki's Three Strikes?"

Thinking this, he reached out, grabbing at the air before him!

Loki's kneeling figure faded again, but Heisenberg's hand accurately gripped the wrist of Loki's dagger-wielding hand.

"You only know sneak attacks?"

Heisenberg mocked, then floated up.

He twisted his waist and hips, instantly whipping the pitiful Loki like a rag doll!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In mere moments,

New York's Central Square was littered with Loki's imprints…
