Darkseid, the Strongest New God (2)
"That is?!"
"It's Stephen!"
During the ongoing global live stream, the figure of the Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange, was clearly visible to people around the world.
The crimson magic rope moved with effortless grace, slicing through the air. In the blink of an eye, it was already aimed at Loki's face, which was filled with a wicked smile!
"Now, we should be able to pinpoint Loki's location." Upon seeing Strange, Tony Stark, who had been diligently studying magic for a long time and had already made some progress, immediately made a strangely shaped hand gesture.
In his soul form, he is theoretically a pure energy body, which gives him a unique advantage in studying certain aspects of magic.
"What?" Bruce Banner asked, puzzled.
"Tony, I think you'd better hurry up, if you can really locate it." Tony Stark, who was about to explain further, was stopped. Pepper, who had reminded him, flipped the laptop screen. On the screen, Stephen Strange, who should have been fighting Loki for three hundred rounds, was now facing a woman holding a shield in one hand, wielding a golden rope in the other, and with a longsword at her waist.
Tony had met someone from another universe before, back in the Sanctum Sanctorum.
Damn it!
The power this woman possesses is too extraordinary.
Forced into retreat by the Lasso of Truth and the Bracers of Might, Strange rolled on the ground to narrowly avoid Loki's sneak attack. His gaze lingered on Diana for a long time, his expression extremely solemn.
"I remember you, the current Sorcerer Supreme of Earth, don't you?"
On the Vibranium throne, Loki clapped his hands and sighed, his eyes filled with admiration for Strange.
He had previously considered his teamwork with Wonder Woman Diana to be flawless, but the man in front of him had completely disrupted it.
Although the man looked disheveled, he had genuinely resolved the situation.
"You have tremendous potential, whether in magic or other areas."
"And Lord Darkseid has always been willing to grant the requests of warriors with potential."
"How about it?"
Want to join us?
Loki extended an invitation to Strange to join his crew, either for the sake of a live show or to impress Darkseid.
"You are you, and I am me, Loki."
"If you can't beat them, join them?"
"I can't do that."
A playful glint appeared at the corner of Strange's mouth, and his mocking gaze caused the smile on Loki's face to gradually freeze.
"It's a pity you won't have the chance to see Lord Darkseid." With a gaze as cold as if looking at a dead man, Loki casually pointed, and the ground around the altar suddenly cracked open. A silver cross, as tall as a person, slowly rose next to the blood-red cross where Steve Rogers' corpse was hanging, until it was parallel to it.
"Superior."
Loki waved his hand, and the Justice League thugs, devoid of any sense of chivalry, swarmed forward!
As the evil god of Asgard, Loki, who had fought alongside Thor in countless battles, had no concept of a fair one-on-one duel.
Anyway, he had already gone through the motions and completed the recruitment task assigned to him by Darkseid. No one could find fault with it.
"You will destroy this universe, Loki!"
The rotating crimson magic circle caused Strange's figure to vanish from his original spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already in front of the bronze gate in the air.
A chilling wind, seeping through the crack in the door, accompanied by the dark, hoarse roar of the Parademons, seeped into Strange's mind.
Boom!
The Qingming Festival was lost in an instant, and before Strange could even activate his sealing magic, he had already fallen from the sky...
"Innocent."
Loki, looking completely at ease, sat back down on his Vibranium throne, legs crossed, his eyes full of disdain.
Darkseid's portal is not something a mere Earthling like you can touch.
Overestimating one's abilities—
Just as Superman Clark's Heat Vision was about to pierce through Strange's body, another red magic circle suddenly appeared in the void, "swallowing" the Heat Vision that was enough to end Strange's life.
"Who?!"
Loki, seated on his throne, raised an eyebrow, his gaze sweeping across the surrounding wasteland.
Then he saw a figure that had given him nightmares before Beckett — the Hulk.
"Roar!!!"
The colossal figure descended from the sky, roaring as its righteous Iron Fist, fueled by rage, swung towards the dazed Loki.
Bang!
The Vibranium throne remained unscathed, but Loki vanished without a trace during Hulk's attack.
"It... it was a success?"
All the Earthlings in front of the screen looked at each other in disbelief. The previously arrogant Loki was gone just like that?
"The Hulk, and Tony Stark?"
Who is that guy with the bow and arrow behind them?
"Wait, shouldn't we be wondering why Tony Stark can fly without the Iron Man Armor?"
The live broadcast of the Wakanda wasteland, featuring the highly recognizable face of Tony Stark, finally stirred up a wave of excitement in the hearts of people around the world.
The first man on Earth to announce himself as a superhero at a media conference, Iron Man who flies around the world saving the world.
This is far more shocking than Captain America, who hasn't appeared in decades.
After all, who knows if that Captain America is real or fake?
Not to mention that Captain America Steve Rogers has virtually no fame outside of the United States.
Tony Stark is different.
This is a superhero who wears armor and makes his face all over the world.
"Is everyone here?"
Loki, who was prepared, landed slowly and looked at the three people who appeared in front of him with great interest.
Tony Stark catches Strange;
He held a bow and arrow, aiming at Hawkeye and the Hulk who was charging towards him.
Thump!
A dull thud echoed as Superman Clark reappeared before Hulk, becoming his opponent.
This time, however, Hulk is not a weakling that Clark can defeat with a wave of his hand.
His eyes, blazing with fury, seemed to be declaring to the whole world that he was the most powerful one!
"Roar!!!"
Call out!
Hawkeye fired his explosive arrow immediately, the tip aimed directly at Loki's head!
Call out!
A green arrow shot out from behind Loki and collided with the arrow shot by Hawkeye.
There are still people here?!
Hawkeye's expression tightened, and his sharp, eagle-like gaze fell on the man who walked out from behind Loki.
A green hood concealed his face, and behind his tight-fitting combat suit was a quiver full of arrows. In his hand, he held a composite bow crafted from money.
"Let me introduce you to Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow."
"Just like you, I'm also a skilled archer."
Loki patted Oliver Quinn on the broad shoulder and looked at Hawkeye with amusement. "Oh, right, there's one more person, I think you should know him too."
A flash of light appeared from the rectangular box, and a graceful figure appeared right behind Oliver Queen, the Green Arrow.
"Natasha?!" Hawkeye's eyes widened.
He had assumed Natasha had died in that sudden explosion, but now he'd found her with Loki's men?!
"There are many more things that can surprise you."
"Since you're here, don't leave."
"Hang it on the cross and look at it slowly."
Loki's smile grew increasingly sinister, and with a flick of his finger, several more silver crosses burst forth from the ground, parallel to the blood-red cross bearing Steve Rogers.
The ancient bronze gate beneath the vast sky opened a little further outward, defying the restrictions of the rules.
