"Wait... wait a moment..."
Upon hearing their conversation, Loki also grew a bit nervous. "What are you two doing?"
Fang Mo didn't even bother with him, directly controlling Steve to start excavating the Bifrost.
Whether it was because his mental power wasn't strong enough, or because he hadn't learned magic from Frigga, Thor couldn't see Steve. However, Loki could.
When he saw the angular monster swinging its pickaxe, causing fine cracks to appear on the Bifrost, he was stunned. He quickly realized that these two were willing to destroy the bridge of the Nine Realms, the Bifrost, to prevent Jotunheim from being destroyed.
"Thor! Are you insane!" Loki couldn't help but shout. "If he destroys the Bifrost, you'll never see Jane again!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a snap, and Steve had already dug out a block of the Bifrost. As the shrunken block was absorbed into Steve's body, a voice suddenly sounded in Fang Mo's mind.
[System Notification: Studied the properties of 'Light Bridge'. You have gained download permission for a new mod.]
[System Notification: Light Bridge and Gate mod download initiated.]
"Huh?"
Hearing this voice, Fang Mo was also taken aback.
He had thought the Bifrost couldn't trigger mods. So it turned out you had to pry off a block first? Did that mean other things that didn't trigger mods also needed to be handled this way?
He had been too hasty. He thought just touching them would be enough.
He hadn't expected to actually have to dig them out.
With that thought, Fang Mo decided to try digging all over Asgard next. Of course, he didn't stop working; Steve continued to excavate the Bifrost.
"What... what kind of magic is this?"
Thor looked at the missing piece of the Bifrost with surprise. As mentioned before, he couldn't see Fang Mo's stand-in, so to him, a piece of the Bifrost had just vanished on its own. He was completely bewildered.
And unlike the massive explosion in the original story.
Perhaps due to the precise collection, although Steve had dug out a piece of the Bifrost, it didn't explode. In fact, because the bridge surface had narrowed, the energy beam from the Bifrost's portal had also weakened slightly.
"Brother! How could you let a mortal destroy the Bifrost!"
Seeing this, Loki became even more anxious. If Jotunheim wasn't destroyed, wouldn't all his plans be ruined? When Father woke up and discovered his foolish actions, he would only be even angrier.
With that thought, he impulsively reached into his embrace and pulled out a dagger.
But before Loki could charge forward, Fang Mo simply waved his hand. The Bifrost portal was hit with a bang, creating a large hole, and the heavy Cleaver quickly flew back into his hand.
"..."
Seeing the weapon that could cleave the Destroyer Armor in half, Loki immediately backed down.
Loki believed Thor wouldn't kill him.
But Fang Mo might.
He didn't want to gamble his own life on this Midgardian's temper.
For Steve, the material of the Bifrost wasn't particularly hard, so it didn't take long before it dug through the Bifrost.
With the energy supply cut off, the Bifrost's portal stopped its erratic spinning. The energy beam weakened and disappeared bit by bit, and the crisis in Jotunheim was finally resolved.
"We did it! Fang Mo!"
Seeing the portal stop, Thor became excited. "That's great! We saved a race!"
"Yeah, yeah."
Hearing Thor's words, Fang Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Because of your family's messy affairs, those Frost Giants, who were just hiding in Jotunheim doing nothing, were almost wiped out by you."
"Uh..."
Fang Mo's words made Thor visibly awkward. "It's not entirely our fault."
"Ah, yes, yes, yes."
Fang Mo waved his hand dismissively. "In any case, you should go pull Heimdall's sword out first. Otherwise, I'm afraid this thing will start acting up again later."
"Alright."
Thor didn't think much of it and turned to walk towards the Bifrost portal.
While that was happening, Fang Mo turned to look at Loki.
"..."
Loki felt like he was facing a great enemy as Fang Mo stared at him. "What... what are you going to do?"
"I'm thinking about whether or not to throw you down from here."
Fang Mo smiled faintly.
"I suggest you'd better not," Loki said, clearly nervous upon hearing this. He quickly began to speak. "I am, after all, a prince of Asgard. If you do this, you'll be..."
"An honored hero of Asgard, right?"
Fang Mo wasn't afraid of Loki at all. "Besides, you haven't exactly been a model prince, so banishing you into a spatial rift would be perfectly normal."
"That's not banishment, that's murder," Loki immediately retorted. "Any normal person knows that once you fall into something like that, you can't possibly survive!"
"..."
Fang Mo remained silent, simply staring intently at Loki.
Actually, he hadn't even noticed this point when he was arguing with Nick Fury earlier.
However, now that Loki, who should have fallen into the spatial turbulence, was still alive and kicking right here, Fang Mo finally realized the power of the butterfly effect and his own influence on the plot.
Now, Fang Mo had two paths to choose from.
The first path was to leverage the convenience of the plot and do his best to facilitate the major events of the original work to ensure he could foresee the future.
For example, throwing Loki into the time-space rift and then waiting for him to lead the alien invasion of Earth in Avengers 1.
Of course, there was also a second path, which was to act entirely according to his own will, directly changing the original plot points that he found unpalatable. If he met someone he liked, he'd lend a hand; if he met someone he disliked, he'd catch them and give them a good beating. This would definitely be very satisfying, but the downside was that he would lose his ability to foresee the future.
Both paths had their pros and cons, and Fang Mo hesitated for a moment on how to choose.
"Uh, that..."
Seeing Fang Mo in deep thought, Loki started to panic. Odin was still asleep, and Thor and his mother definitely wouldn't be able to stop this monster. So, he quickly asked, "You're not actually planning to throw me down, are you?"
"What do you think?"
Fang Mo glanced at Loki and retorted.
"Are you serious?" Loki was startled by this and then couldn't help but ask, "No, do we have any enmity between us? Even if I wanted to destroy Jotunheim... that shouldn't concern you, a Midgardian, right?"
"But throwing you down would benefit me."
Having his train of thought interrupted by Loki, Fang Mo decided to stop thinking about it and instead flashed him a smile, "However, considering you're Thor's brother and don't deserve death, I'll give you one last chance."
"What chance?"
Hearing this, Loki quickly tried to grasp this lifeline.
"I'll give you three minutes."
Fang Mo slowly extended three fingers. "Give me a reason not to throw you down. If I find the reason satisfactory, then I'll pretend nothing happened."
