Just arrived at Marvel, the system rewards the Man of Steel

Because he knows better than anyone that it is these seemingly ordinary moments that are the true meaning of what they are fighting for.

He is no longer the lonely time traveler overlooking the chess game. He has a family, concerns, and everything he wants to protect with his life.

And this made him stronger than ever.

Chapter 276 Loki's Defection

Long Island Villa

One afternoon a few months later, tranquility enveloped the beach house.

Since the last time I came back, the Earth and the entire universe have ushered in a rare period of peace.

There is no dimensional invasion, no cosmic collision, as if all the crises have quietly gone away.

The sun is shining and the breeze is gentle.

Next to the villa's infinity pool, Xiao Han was lying comfortably on a beach chair.

He was only wearing a pair of loose beach shorts, letting the warm sunlight pour down on his nearly perfect body.

He closed his eyes and breathed steadily, as if he had fallen into a deep sleep.

But incredible changes were happening around him.

Every ray of sunlight seemed to be given life the moment it touched his skin.

They were no longer simply light and heat, but had transformed into the purest golden energy particles that were almost imperceptible to the naked eye, slowly and continuously seeping into his body.

His skin was tinged with a faint golden glow, and his muscles looked even more angular in the sunlight.

It is not that it becomes larger, but rather gives people an indescribable sense of density, as if it was forged from some kind of substance.

The grass on the beach even grows greener than elsewhere because of the dissipated energy.

Under the parasol nearby, Wanda, Carla, Diana and Gu Ziyun were enjoying a leisurely afternoon tea time.

"Honestly, Diana,"

Kara slurred as she took a bite of the strawberry shortcake that Wanda had conjured out of thin air using chaos magic.

"Your Amazon training methods are so old-fashioned. How about we try sparring on the surface of the sun next time? I guarantee there's more sunlight there."

Diana gracefully lifted her teacup and chuckled at the words.

"If you can promise not to melt my sword, I'd be happy to play along. However, before that, I have to defeat you first."

Gu Ziyun leaned back in the recliner, holding a book on quantum physics, and spoke without raising his head.

"According to the law of conservation of energy, a physical collision on the surface of a star could produce energy aftershocks that could cause small-scale space-time distortions; but unfortunately, we're not worried about that."

The two women rolled their eyes.

What kind of crap literature is this.

Wanda held her chin and looked at Dijiang and Huofeng who were chasing an energy butterfly in the distance, with a gentle smile on her lips.

Her chaos magic is now controlled and no longer the violent force it once was.

Instead, it was as gentle as a gurgling stream, and she could even use it to make exotic flowers that had never been seen in the garden grow.

At this moment, a burst of urgent communication requests broke the silence.

The holographic projection automatically turned on, and Tony Stark's face with his signature smirk appeared on the screen.

"Ladies! And that guy who's photosynthesizing!"

Tony's voice was still full of teasing as always.

"Guess what good news I brought you? No, bad news! Very bad news!"

Xiao Han slowly opened his eyes, and a golden halo flashed in his pupils.

He sat up, picked up a glass of juice and asked lazily.

"Why, is your honeymoon finally over? Or did you invent some new exploding toy and piss Pepper off?"

"It's much more exciting than that!"

Tony's expression grew serious.

"Remember the Asgardian prince you told me about before? That's right, Thor, the God of Thunder, just came to Earth, and was kicked off the Rainbow Bridge."

This news made Wanda and the other girls look confused.

Kicked down?

Xiao Han raised his eyebrows when he heard this, with a teasing tone in his voice.

"Oh? That's good. That foolish son of Asgard finally decided to go out. But who beat him this time? Loki?"

Tony on the other side of the screen rolled his eyes.

"Dude, could you please act a little surprised? Thor said he heard you, but he's too busy to argue with you right now! He's sitting in my lab right now, holding Eddie down with Thor's hammer and tearing a hole through my floor."

"is it?"

Xiao Han took a sip of juice and asked nonchalantly.

"Then what is he doing on Earth? Has Asgard been invaded by some blind fellow again?"

Tony's expression turned serious when he mentioned this.

He took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "The situation is not good, Xiao. Thor said that Loki has defected."

"Defection?"

Wanda frowned, "Isn't he imprisoned in the dungeons of Asgard?"

"Right," Tony nodded.

"But just a few days ago, he escaped using some unknown magic. According to the magical prophecy of Frigga, Queen of Asgard, Loki's target this time is Earth, and he will bring unprecedented disaster to the world."

"The most important thing is." Tony frowned.

"Thor said that according to the clues he tracked, Loki's first destination after leaving Asgard was to find Thanos!"

"Thanos?"

Kara's eyes flickered with interest.

They were very familiar with this name, having just killed one some time ago.

Diana didn't quite understand Loki's strength, so she spoke in a serious tone, "The God of Trickery teaming up with the Tyrant of the Universe? This is definitely not good news."

However, to Tony's surprise, Xiao Han suddenly chuckled after hearing all this.

Tony looked at him in confusion.

"do not worry about it."

Xiao Han waved his hand and lay back on the beach chair without a trace of tension on his face.

"Let him come."

Tony was stunned. "What? Xiao, didn't you hear clearly? It's Loki and Thanos! The purple potato spirit you were talking about! The two of them together are enough to cause a lot of trouble!"

"I heard it very clearly."

Xiao Han's tone was relaxed and carefree.

Is there anything Loki and Thanos need to worry about?

Of course he knew what that meant.

Isn’t this the plot of "Avengers 1"? Loki invades the earth with the mind-scepter given by Thanos and the army of Chitauri.

But in this multiverse, things might be different.

I and Nar had discovered the existence of Emperor Thanos before. This guy must be causing trouble in the multiverse. The Thanos in Xiao Han's universe might even have been wiped out by his more powerful self.

So, which universe's Thanos is Loki looking for? And what kind of disaster will he bring?

"Interesting." Xiao Han thought.

I've already torn the original script into pieces, and now you're forcing yourself to go back to the old ways?

I want to see what kind of drama the director wants to stage this time. Is it to surpass the gods?

Or is it the old Thanos hiding behind the scenes?

Or is it just an ordinary plot?

He looked at Tony's expression on the screen, and the smile on his lips deepened.

This kind of unknown change is much more interesting than the unchanging plot.

"I want to see this god of trickery."

Xiao Han said slowly, with a hint of anticipation in his voice.

"What new tricks can be done this time?"

Chapter 277 Loki's Promise

Tony looked at him with such confidence. Although he was doubtful, his long-standing trust made him choose to believe Xiao Han in the end.

"Okay, now that you say so." Tony sighed.

"The Avengers will be on high alert. But then again, don't you really plan to do something in advance? Like go to Asgard to check the situation?"

"unnecessary."

Xiao Han shook his head, "That would alert the enemy and make the game less fun."

"Game?" Tony's mouth twitched.

"Well, this might just be a game for you. Anyway, I'll keep you informed if anything happens."

The call was disconnected and the villa returned to peace.

Diana walked to Xiao Han, her expression serious: "Xiao, are we not going to do anything?"

"rest assured."

Xiao Han looked at her and gently stroked her face.

"I've seen many versions of Thanos, and this one won't be an exception."

..........

Deep in the Universe

In the boundless darkness dotted with the corpses of stars, a huge throne floats in the void.

Thanos sat quietly on it, wearing heavy golden armor.

His eyes were deep, as if containing the birth and death of the entire universe, and he was calmly gazing at the figure kneeling on one knee below.

Loki Odinson

The God of Trickery, who had just escaped from the cage of Asgard, now suppressed all his arrogance, lowered his head, and respectfully waited for the judgment of the overlord of the universe.

"so."

Thanos' voice was low and slow, without any emotion.

"You came before me, Prince of Asgard, you longed for power, longed for the throne, and even betrayed your brother and father."

"Yes, the great Thanos!"

Loki raised his head, his eyes blazing with ambition.

"I will bring you victory, give you Midgard, and the other Infinity Stones!"

"Infinity Stones?"

The corners of Thanos' mouth curled up in an imperceptible arc.

"Odin's treasury does contain many good things, but why should I trust you? You're a loser who's been defeated repeatedly by your foolish brother."

“Because I know them!”

Loki's voice became urgent. "I understand Midgard's fragility and Odin's arrogance! If you only provide me with an army, I promise to bring the Infinity Stones to you!"
