Who's Stronger?

"What... is this?"

Coulson froze when someone appeared out of thin air in the interrogation room.

The one who had appeared was Thor's younger brother.

Loki.

According to the events of Thor, he had come here specifically to deceive Thor.

Before Thor could regain his divine power, Loki would fabricate a lie that Odin had been angered to death by him, then dump all the blame on him. After all, Loki believed that once his reckless brother learned of this, he would surely fly into a helpless rage.

At that point, Thor would completely lose the right to lift Thor's Hammer and remain on Earth forever as a mortal.

That way, no one would be able to compete with him for the throne of Asgard.

But Loki's plan seemed to have gone a little off track. He had been about to turn and leave after saying those things, only to spot an angular monster in the corner as soon as he turned around.

The thing stood silently in the corner, utterly devoid of any sign of life. It looked exceptionally eerie.

The sudden sight of it genuinely startled Loki. He instantly entered a combat stance and reflexively threw a dagger at it.

That was why Thor had asked Loki in confusion what had happened.

But honestly, Loki's direct combat ability really was terrible. The little dagger he threw was like a toy and could not cause any substantial damage to the thing at all.

On the contrary, the angular monster merely moved its right hand and sent Loki stumbling backward.

After being attacked, Loki's illusion naturally failed as well.

That was why Coulson and the other agents discovered him.

But while the agents were still dumbfounded, Fang Mo had already arrived at the interrogation room door. Before anyone could react, he pulled it open and walked inside.

Coulson was briefly stunned, but he quickly came to his senses and hurried after him.

"What kind of day is this? Is there some Nine Realms festival going on?" As soon as he pushed the door open, Fang Mo began speaking. "Why have both of Odin's precious sons come running to Earth?"

As he spoke, Stand-in Steve slowly returned to his side.

"Who are you?"

Loki stared at Fang Mo warily. "No... what exactly are you?"

"My name is Fang Mo."

Fang Mo said directly, "People call me the Fourth Calamity."

"..."

Loki said nothing, merely narrowing his eyes instinctively.

Of course, he did not know Fang Mo. In fact, if not for that angular monster, he would have assumed Fang Mo was an ordinary mortal. But now, it was clear that this guy was anything but ordinary. Loki could not sense the slightest presence from him, yet the more that was the case, the stranger Fang Mo seemed. Loki could not see through him at all.

But facing an opponent head-on was not Loki's style, especially with a whole crowd of troublesome mortals behind Fang Mo.

After considering it, he immediately cast a spell.

Loki left an illusion behind where he stood, while his real body turned invisible and quietly retreated.

However, Fang Mo shared vision with his Stand-in.

Loki could see him, and Fang Mo guessed that was perhaps because Loki's mental energy was especially powerful. But for some reason, Steve could see invisible Loki too. Could it be that Asgardian illusions simply did not work on Steve?

In any case, Fang Mo said impatiently, "All right, quit showing off that little hide-and-seek trick of yours."

"Hm? What?"

Coulson truly could not make sense of it. Wasn't the guy standing right in front of him? He asked strangely, "You... who are you talking to?"

After hearing Fang Mo's words, Loki's movements stiffened slightly.

"You can see him?"

Even Thor, who was sitting there, froze for a moment.

"My Stand-in spotted you ages ago, so stop thinking you can turn invisible and sneak up on me." Fang Mo folded his arms and looked toward Loki's true body. "Seriously, even I'm not sure whether I still have kidneys or not..."

"..."

Loki hesitated upon hearing that, but ultimately dispelled his illusion.

"This..."

Seeing Loki before him turn into an illusion, only for the real Loki to suddenly appear from empty space, Coulson could not help widening his eyes. It was his first time witnessing the strange nature of illusions.

For some reason, a terrifying intuition suddenly welled up within Coulson.

Unlike that delusional patient over there calling himself Thor, he somehow felt that the person before him was the real trouble.

"Um... who is he?"

After thinking it over, Coulson could not help asking Fang Mo.

"Loki, the God of Mischief and Lies," Fang Mo explained. "Don't you Westerners all believe in gods? You've never heard of the famous Loki?"

"This..."

Coulson hesitated. "Most people over here believe in Jesus."

"Oh, I see." Fang Mo nodded, then suddenly asked, "Then let me ask you this: between Odin and Jesus, who do you think is stronger?"

"Huh?"

This time, not only Coulson but even Thor and Loki across from him were stunned. Odin was their father, after all. What was Fang Mo trying to do, discussing their dad's strength right in front of his sons?

"Uh..."

Coulson was dumbfounded too. They were confronting two gods here, and Fang Mo suddenly wanted to discuss this? Was that really appropriate?

But before Coulson could figure out how to phrase his answer, Fang Mo began talking to himself. "Personally, I think Odin should be a little stronger."

"Of course! Father is the Allfather!"

Thor said instinctively.

But he immediately remembered the news of his father's death. His father had supposedly been angered to death by an unworthy son like him, and he fell into grief again. "Father's glory shall endure throughout the Nine Realms..."

"Mm-hmm, so you all think Odin is stronger too, right?"

Fang Mo smiled and nodded, then said directly, "There's actually a reason to say Odin is stronger than Jesus... Look, myths say Odin would kill every Frost Giant in this world, while the Bible says Jesus would kill every unrighteous person in this world. I've seen plenty of unrighteous people, but I haven't seen a single damn Frost Giant."

As he spoke, Fang Mo deliberately smiled at Loki. "Wouldn't you say?"

"..."

Upon hearing the words Frost Giant, Thor and Loki immediately fell silent.

Thor was silent because he thought of how he had privately attacked the Frost Giants, causing Jotunheim and Asgard to stand on the brink of war. His recklessness and lack of filial piety had directly "angered" his father Odin to death. Honestly, he was filled with remorse and guilt now, and had even begun reflecting on his previous atrocious behavior.

It seemed his father had been right. He was a madman, a war maniac whose mind held nothing but glory, someone who did not understand love and peace at all.

But Loki was different.

He fucking felt that Fang Mo was deliberately targeting him.
