[The footage continues.]
[On the spaceship, looking at the Infinity Gauntlet on his left hand, Thanos said:]
"There are two more stones on Earth."
"Find them, my children, and bring them to me on Titan."
[The Black Order knelt and acknowledged the order.]
[At that moment, Loki suddenly stepped forward and said:]
"If you're going to Earth, you might want a guide. I do have a bit of experience in that arena."
[Thanos sneered:]
"If you consider failure, experience"
[Loki shrugged:]
"I consider experience, experience"
[Then Loki's expression turned serious. He looked at Thanos and said:]
"I! Loki, Prince of Asgard, Odinson…"
"…the rightful king of Jotunheim, the God of Mischief, do hereby pledge to you my undying fidelity…"
[But as he spoke, the restrained Thor could clearly see Loki conjuring a dagger in his left hand with magic.]
[As soon as Loki finished speaking, he suddenly raised the dagger hidden in his left hand and stabbed toward Thanos's throat.]
[But Thanos merely raised the Infinity Gauntlet, and the glow of the Space Stone enveloped Loki's left hand, freezing him in place.]
"Undying?" Thanos grabbed Loki's right hand and sneered. "You should choose your words more carefully."
[Throwing Loki's dagger aside, Thanos used the Gauntlet to grasp Loki by the neck and lifted him into the air.]
[Although Loki struggled desperately, he could not break free from Thanos's grip.]
"You will never be…. a god!" Loki barely managed to utter these words before a "crack" sounded from his neck as Thanos crushed him to death.
"God!"
Loki's mouth gaped, his face full of terror as he stared at the screen.
On the screen, his "self" bled from every orifice, limp and motionless, a scene that shook him to the core and seemed almost unreal.
At that moment, he went blank, almost stunned into stupidity, his brain on the verge of short-circuiting.
Asgardian Palace
When everyone saw Loki fight Thanos with all his might, only to be defeated and killed, they were utterly shocked!
The god who had always been regarded as a schemer, cunning only in trickery, could display such fearlessness in the face of a powerful enemy!
It was truly awe-inspiring!
"Is that really Loki?"
"Unbelievable… such bravery, almost on par with Lord Thor."
"I never expected… Asgard to be hiding such a warrior."
"Loki…"
Queen Frigga's eyes welled with tears as she covered her mouth.
Odin's single eye flashed with a sharp light. He clenched his right fist, then slowly released it.
In his gaze, beyond the pain, there was mainly shock.
All along, Odin had thought this "son" was only capable of minor clever tricks.
Odin could never have imagined that Loki would grow to such a level in the future.
It was like he had become a completely different person!
Seeing Loki's death on the footage—not only did the people in the Asgardian palace feel shocked, even Loki himself was stunned by the scene before him.
At that moment, he could hardly believe his own eyes.
Remember… he was a mage!
A mage, armed with nothing but a dagger, attempting to stab the Thanos who had just smashed Thor and the Hulk.
It was suicide… pure suicide… and nothing else!
The more he thought, the more confused he became. Loki's mind froze, his ability to think vanished, and he could only remain in this chaotic state.
Meanwhile, the live chat room was already buzzing.
[Thor: Sigh, Loki, why are you so foolish? You should have rescued me first, and then we could fight Thanos together.]
[Thor: I never thought that someone who usually seems smart would act even more impulsively than me when the situation is critical.]
[Loki Odinson: What? What did you just say about me?]
Loki's cheeks twitched slightly, and he suddenly felt a surge of frustration.
He, the most cunning god of Asgard, had just been lectured by Thor, whose brain seemed to be made entirely of muscle.
[Thor: But brother, you are truly remarkable. The odds were so overwhelmingly against you, yet you dared to charge forward without hesitation. Such courage deserves a capital "Respect"! ]
[Thor: In future battles, my back will be entrusted to you, hahahaha!]
While praising Loki, Thor had already made up his mind: no matter the cost, he would find that damned purple monster across the universe and… smash his head with Mjolnir!
[Peter Parker: Mr. Loki is truly impressive. My uncle always told me, "With great power comes great responsibility." If someone needs help, we should step up without hesitation.]
[Peter Parker: I didn't fully understand before, but seeing Mr. Loki in action today really taught me a lesson.]
[Loki Odinson: Enough! Thor! And you little brat, all of you shut up. Stop judging me recklessly!]
At that moment, Loki's mind was truly collapsing.
What was happening? Could it be that the Loki on the screen had somehow been infected by Thor's stupidity?
[The footage continues.]
[Thanos threw Loki's corpse in front of Thor and said coldly:]
"No resurrections this time."
[Then, Thanos raised his left hand, the Infinity Gauntlet glowing with the purple light of the Power Stone, sweeping across the entire spaceship.]
[Immediately, the interior of the ship began to crumble.]
[Using the Space Stone, Thanos opened a portal and led the Black Order through it, disappearing from view.]
[Thor broke free from his restraints and crawled onto Loki's body, his face filled with sorrow and pain.]
[With a loud "BOOM," the entire spaceship shattered violently, breaking into countless pieces.]
