This Guy Is Hopeless

The commotion here immediately drew the attention of nearby S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Coulson arrived upon hearing the news, looking at the chaotic containment room, and asked with uncertainty, "What happened here?"

Du Mu pointed to Loki, who had lost his illusion effect on the ground: "Well, caught another intruder. This one claims to be Loki."

Coulson: "..."

Why do all these lunatics claiming to be gods from Norse mythology keep flocking here?

Yesterday it was the God of Thunder Thor, and today it's the God of Mischief Loki.

Next, will it be Odin, the King of Gods?

When Coulson learned that Loki had used legendary magic, and confirmed it after checking the surveillance, his expression turned grave.

He said in a deep voice, "It seems this matter is far more complex than we imagined. I need to request more support from the Director."

Coulson immediately ordered the agents to firmly secure the unconscious Loki and lock him up alongside Thor.

Just like that, Thor and Loki, these two brothers in misfortune, became cellmates.

Thor didn't mind this at all; in fact, he felt it was quite nice to have Loki by his side.

The disturbance caused by Loki and the magical abilities he displayed soon drew the high attention of Nick Fury, who was far away at headquarters.

He immediately raised the emergency response level and dispatched more personnel to the scene.

Among them was Clint Barton, a Level 7 agent, codenamed Hawkeye!

[NPC: Clint Barton]

[Codename: Hawkeye]

[Favorability: 40]

[Evaluation: Avenger mascot, 100% hit rate, 100% win rate in team battles]

"So, can someone tell me what kind of emergency is worth making a poor guy who was just about to enjoy his vacation fly back across half the globe?"

At this moment, Clint was carrying his beloved compound bow, his face extremely displeased.

He had worked at S.H.I.E.L.D. for so long and finally had a rare vacation, only to be suddenly recalled by Nick Fury for overtime.

One can imagine how much resentment Clint was harboring right now!

That damn one-eyed slave driver!

Coulson explained, "We discovered an extraterrestrial object and two aliens suspected to be gods."

Clint was stunned for a moment.

He had only been on vacation for a few days; had S.H.I.E.L.D.'s scope of operations already expanded to include aliens?

"Clint, long time no see." Du Mu, standing to the side, greeted Clint.

Clint was a bit surprised: "It's you, Du Mu."

He and Du Mu could be considered to have become acquainted through a "fight."

Of course, this wasn't a real fight, just a friendly competition.

Both of them were famous marksmen within S.H.I.E.L.D.

After meeting once, Clint proposed a contest of accuracy, and Du Mu agreed without much thought.

They agreed to use their most proficient weapons, set up a tiny target several hundred meters away, and attack simultaneously based on a timer countdown to see who was faster and more accurate.

Clint naturally took out his bow and arrow. The moment the countdown hit zero, his arrow left the string, hitting the target with precision.

However, he still lost in the end.

The reason was simple.

At that moment, Du Mu suddenly pulled out a rocket launcher and blew up the target area, along with the arrow Clint had fired.

Afterward, this guy actually had the nerve to say it was his most proficient sniper rifle, just with a slightly larger caliber and slightly larger bullets.

Since then, Clint had completely abandoned any thought of competing with Du Mu.

With Clint, the Hawkeye, in charge, Du Mu could continue to slack off and read comic books, occasionally going to chat with Thor to inquire about things beyond Earth.

According to Thor, there are Nine Realms in the universe.

These realms are connected to each other through Yggdrasil, yet they maintain a delicate balance and usually do not interfere with one another.

This includes Midgard, which is the Earth where Du Mu is located, as well as Thor's homeland Asgard, the Frost Giant's Jotunheim, the Dwarf realm Svartalfheim, and so on.

To travel freely between these nine realms, one must possess a trans-dimensional artifact like the Bifrost.

Of course, the vast universe is far more than just these nine realms; there are countless alien races and planetary factions—in short, it is quite complex.

"System, are these all explorable areas?" Du Mu asked.

[Yes, all areas are open, and players can freely explore anywhere.]

"Awesome!"

Du Mu marveled once again at the freedom of this game; he could even explore beyond Earth at will.

He had half-expected the system to pop up with a message saying, "The area ahead can only be explored later."

Night fell.

Du Mu, who was keeping watch over the hammer, suddenly received a notification.

Loki had broken out of prison!

Du Mu rushed to the scene immediately, looking at the grim-faced Coulson and Clint.

"What's the situation?"

Coulson said in a deep voice, "Loki woke up a short while ago. He seems to have used some kind of magic and suddenly vanished from the holding cell."

Du Mu asked, "What about Thor?"

"He's still inside, but he looks a bit off."

Hearing this, Du Mu walked into the holding cell and saw Thor standing there, looking dejected with hollow eyes.

Du Mu asked curiously, "What's wrong, Thor?"

Thor's tone was low and heavy: "Loki has returned to Asgard. He told me that if it weren't for me, Asgard and Jotunheim would never have gone to war, and Father would not have died. All of this is my fault."

"Then why didn't he take you with him?"

"Because Loki has already reached a ceasefire agreement with the Frost Giant."

Thor's voice was filled with bitterness and self-loathing: "But the condition was that I, the culprit who incited the war, must be permanently exiled to Midgard."

Du Mu raised an eyebrow: "But didn't you say you were the heir to the throne?"

Thor's mood sank even further: "Because of my recklessness, Mother has already ceded the throne to Loki. Loki is now the King of Asgard."

"Is that what your little brother told you?"

"Yes."

Du Mu was speechless: "Then how do you know if what he said is true or false?"

Thor said without hesitation: "Loki would never lie to me. He said that while I was in exile, he led the Asgardian army to fight the Frost Giant, charged in and out of Jotunheim seven times, and after wiping out millions of Frost Giant, he reached this agreement with the King of the Frost Giant, Laufey."

Du Mu: "..."

Now I can be one hundred percent sure it's a lie!

Does this Loki really think he's a descendant of the God of War? Wiping out millions of Frost Giant?

That claim is even more absurd than Nick Fury doing a pole dance at S.H.I.E.L.D.!

Du Mu couldn't help but say: "Didn't you notice anything wrong with that?"

Thor nodded heavily and said earnestly: "I noticed. Jotunheim doesn't have that many Frost Giant; Loki must have miscounted."

Du Mu: "..."

Forget it, this guy is beyond saving.
