"Bang!"
Before he could finish, the golden hammer in Black Loki's hand shattered explosively!
"Are you from Dunhuang? So many murals!" Su Quan's eyes were bloodshot, and he was feeling somewhat displeased.
It only dropped 5 points; he really was unlucky!
The fastest to react among the remaining Lokis turned out to be Crocodile Loki, which quietly reached Su Quan's side and directly leaped high, its blood-garnished jaws biting fiercely at Su Quan's arm.
"Crack!"
The iron-hard arm caused Crocodile Loki's teeth, which were like small daggers, to shatter instantly.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Super Strength (Crocodile Loki)"
What about Black Loki? Look at the others; even an alligator could drop Super Strength, and then look at you, bragging to the high heavens only to drop 5 points. Have you no shame?
Su Quan casually tossed Crocodile Loki away.
"You're so arrogant, is there an Animal Protection Association protecting you?"
Ignoring the squealing and squawking Crocodile Loki, Su Quan whooshed right in front of Elderly Loki.
A-Train's super speed wasn't considered the fastest among speedsters, but to scare Loki, it was more than enough!
Elderly Loki had never expected Su Quan to be able to reach such a degree of speed. Seeing him suddenly appear right in his face, green magical light lit up on both of his hands, and he instinctively lashed out with magical energy.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Create Illusion (Elderly Loki)"
Item acquired!
Su Quan felt a wave of joy, dodging the magical energy and directly creating an illusionary double to take his place while he himself arrived behind Black Loki.
Bzzzz-- A scorching ray pierced in from the back and out through the forehead.
Don't look at how righteously indignant Black Loki had been when accusing Elderly Loki just moments ago; in reality, this fellow was the biggest, and only, double-agent among the Old, Weak, Sick, and Disabled.
In Loki's solo series, he had once secretly contacted President Loki in order to get rid of Kid Loki and seize the throne.
President Loki also wanted this throne, so how could he let Black Loki have it? The final outcome could be easily imagined!
Su Quan gave a gentle shove, and Black Loki, eyes wide, tumbled heavily to the ground.
Elderly Loki created a double to confuse Su Quan and quietly prepared to launch a sneak attack, only to see another Su Quan actually run clean through Black Loki's head from behind!
How was this possible?!
Elderly Loki had preconceptions and assumed that Su Quan was also a Loki, but Su Quan had used crimson heat rays, making him feel that his judgment might be wrong.
Because no matter which version of Loki it was, the color of their magical energy was always green--
Yet just now, Su Quan had used Loki's signature illusionary double, leaving Elderly Loki temporarily unable to judge.
Four Lokis: one had broken teeth, one had lost his life, and while the remaining strongest Elderly Loki and Kid Loki still held the numerical advantage, they felt they had little chance of winning.
This fellow was simply too bizarre.
The ray that pierced Black Loki, the body strength that shattered Crocodile Loki's teeth, and the blinding speed that they simply couldn't react to—these non-"Loki" methods made them feel extremely troublesome!
Kid Loki pointed at the throne and spoke in a steady voice, "We'll let you have that seat. Can we maintain peace?"
Su Quan walked toward the symbolic throne, speaking as he moved, "Peace is not: 'Don't hit me,' nor is it: 'Don't let him hit me.' Much less is it: 'Go ahead and hit me while I don't fight back.' Peace is: 'You dare try hitting me, motherfucker?'"
He sat down with a commanding air, looking down at Kid Loki and Elderly Loki. "With your combat strength, I'm afraid you'll collapse before I even use any effort. I suggest you just surrender."

"Black Loki gave me two choices, and I'll give you two choices as well."
"We surrender."
Su Quan hadn't even stated what the two choices were yet, but Kid Loki had already learned how to buzz in with an answer.
Su Quan accepted their surrender, but he didn't believe they would actually surrender!
Because to a "Loki," surrender was merely a means to preserve oneself or prepare for a backstab, entirely devoid of psychological burdens like "death before dishonor."
When the enemy was strong, they bowed their heads and plotted in secret; the moment an opportunity arose, they would betray without the slightest hesitation.
Don't look at how they claimed to be the First Sorcerer of the Nine Realms; in reality, most Lokis were assassins, especially when it came to backstabbing skills—they played those exceptionally well!
Lokis as "down-to-earth" as Elderly Loki were rare, purely belonging to the category of slacking off from their proper duties.
Su Quan didn't care whether the Lokis before him were truly surrendering or not. He wasn't foolish enough to believe whatever people said, especially when it came to a Loki!
Appreciation was appreciation, but stripped of their film and television halos, Lokis really couldn't be considered trustworthy good guys. Their so-called goodness only applied to the Main Timeline Loki and had nothing to do with anyone else.
As long as he was strong enough, their little schemes to backstab him would have to remain buried at the bottom of their hearts forever, never daring to be put into action.
"My name is Su Quan, Quan as in Omniscient & Omnipotent! I'm a very easy person to get along with; if we don't get along well, find the cause in yourself."
"I won't be staying here for long at the current stage. When I'm not here, you need to collect usable resources from outside. When I say outside—I don't mean outside the castle!"
Not outside the castle, then that meant--outside the void?!
Elderly Loki gave a flickering-eyed glance toward the unmoved Kid Loki.
He had arrived here the earliest and the longest, and he should have tried every possible means of leaving, which was why he was so calm about the possibilities hidden in Su Quan's words.
"You, can you leave the void?" Elderly Loki still couldn't hold back and asked, figured the worst that could happen was another disappointment.
"I can."
Su Quan said very casually, "If I couldn't leave the void, what would be the point of having you collect resources?"
"You'd better remember this firmly: my name is Su Quan, Quan as in Omniscient & Omnipotent!"
Omniscient & Omnipotent meant knowing everything and being able to do anything, including--leaving the void!
The tone of his voice was light and airy, but heard in Elderly Loki's ears, it was like a heavy hammer striking a great drum, vibrating him to his core.
"Do you have a Time Variance Authority controller?" Kid Loki also raised a sliver of hope.
The void was a place one could enter but never leave; the only way out was through a Time Variance Authority controller.
Over so many years, people from the Time Variance Authority had also been pruned in, but either they weren't carrying a controller, or the controllers were damaged and unusable.
Su Quan shook his head. "Without a controller, it's impossible for you to leave. For me, this place is my back garden; I come when I want, and I go when I please."
"A new king's ascension always calls for a general amnesty. Don't say I didn't give you a chance: have a fight. The one who wins, I'll take outside for some fresh air, and it'll also let you work diligently for me in the future."
Elderly Loki and Kid Loki exchanged a glance, and Kid Loki said with a regal bearing, "I concede. You go ahead."
Elderly Loki looked at Su Quan, whose tone grew increasingly cold. "I told you to have a fight."
Black Loki's corpse hadn't even cooled through yet, and the possibility of leaving the void was right within reach. What could they do? They had no choice but to fight!
The two Lokis exchanged another glance and struck out simultaneously.
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Invisibility (Elderly Loki)"
"Ding!"
"Combat detected, drop reward: Cold Immunity (Kid Loki)"
Elderly Loki dropped an item again; the ability of invisibility had very high practicality whether paired with illusionary doubles or watching battles.
As expected of the First Sorcerer of the Nine Realms, he had plenty of abilities.
Kid Loki's cold immunity was so-so, merely a passive ability that should have come from his Frost Giant bloodline.
"Bang!"
The flame sword in Kid Loki's hand was knocked down by Elderly Loki's magic, and the two of them, neither breathing hard nor flushing red, thus decided the victor.
Just like the fight between Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, the fakes were too unsightly to watch.
Apart from anything else, this flame sword of Kid Loki's had quite a big background, with power rivalling Thor's hammer.
The Sword of Victory, Loki's exclusive divine sword in early comics; much like Thor summoning Thor's hammer, Loki could also summon the Sword of Victory.
Kid Loki must have used this sword to kill the Thor of his timeline.
"Good sword. Get the supplies you don't need ready; I'll take them when I come back."
Su Quan stood up, walked over, gave Kid Loki those instructions, and grabbed Elderly Loki, leaving the void.
Whoosh--
Su Quan didn't bring Elderly Loki back to Nato Tong, instead appearing at the entrance of a street-side alley.
"We really did leave the void... aren't you--aren't you afraid I'll run away?" Elderly Loki looked at Su Quan excitedly.
"You can't outrun me." Su Quan waved his hand and transfigured a set of ordinary casual clothes for Elderly Loki.
Eccentric clothing drew too much attention, and besides, aside from the gold-and-green color scheme and tight fit, Elderly Loki's uniform had another intolerable characteristic: just like the old version of Superman, he wore his underwear on the outside!
