"God?!"
The group of armed soldiers exchanged glances and burst into laughter.
"We're after you, you damn god!"
The man with the mustache pointed his gun directly at Loki's chest, his finger hovering over the trigger, and coldly shouted, "If you don't want your noble body riddled with bullets, then obediently raise your hands!"
Loki stared coldly at the arrogant mortals with a grim expression.
He released his illusion on the spot, while his real body quietly Invisibility and walked towards them.
Loki's phantom asked in a deep voice, "Who are you? Why have you come looking for me? And what is this so-called Time Prisoner you're talking about?"
The man with the mustache said impatiently, "You talk too much! I'll count to three, and if you don't surrender, you die!"
"...1..."
"...2..."
Loki's true form appeared before the mustachioed man, looking at him mockingly, and drew a dagger with his right hand.
"...3...!"
"Shoot him! Kill him!"
After counting, the man with the mustache decisively ordered the guns to fire.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
More than a dozen Energy Ray instantly struck Loki's illusion.
The illusion's face revealed a mocking smile, and with a 'pop,' it vanished like a bubble.
The man with the mustache's expression changed slightly. "Attention everyone! The Time Prisoner has used his supernatural abilities to hide. Activate your Energy Detection Device. Once you find him, shoot him immediately!"
"Yes!"
His men raised their hands and pressed a button on their Bracer.
'Sizzle~'
A Sphere device with numerous Hive- like holes automatically flies up from their Bracer.
The Honeycomb Sphere Device flew into the air and suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterwards, countless Deep Blue Ray shot out from the Hive holes.
These rays intertwine to form a dense, Three-Dimensional Network.
When Loki's true form was struck by the Deep Blue Ray, the Concealment Magic covering his body was instantly shattered.
The man with the mustache was startled when he saw Loki standing less than a meter away.
"Fuck! He's here!"
He instinctively turned his gun around and fired a shot directly at Loki.
Loki swiftly raised his dagger, blocking the Energy Ray.
But the next second, his expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly dropped the dagger in his hand.
'Sizzle~~'
The dagger instantly disintegrated into a cloud of blue particles.
Loki glanced at the guns in the hands of these mortals with great apprehension, no longer daring to underestimate them.
The man with the mustache aimed at Loki and repeatedly pulled the trigger, shouting urgently, "Fire! Kill him now!"
Loki quickly cast several Protective Magic in front of him, then his body trembled slightly.
Then, a dozen or so Energy Ray broke down the Protective Magic into blue particles, which struck Loki's body.
'Mwah~'
Loki's body vanished into nothingness once more.
Immediately afterwards, dozens of Loki suddenly appeared.
They raised their hands, laughing, and said, "Foolish mortals, let's play a little game! If you can find my true form, I'll obediently surrender!"
Seeing this, the man with the mustache immediately raised his right fist. "Everyone assemble! Be prepared for him to use some unknown supernatural ability!"
His men immediately rallied around him and quickly gathered together.
Loki sneered, "If you don't act soon, this game is going to be lost!"
As he spoke, more and more Loki visions appeared.
Moments later, hundreds of Loki scattered and surrounded Mustache and the other heat-seekers.
Cold sweat instantly streamed down the mustache's forehead.
He muttered to himself, "Fuck! How the hell am I supposed to catch this?!"
At that moment, Loki's illusions raised their right hands and began to gather energy.
"Offending the majesty of God must be punished!"
"Beware, foolish mortals. The punishment of the gods has begun..."
Upon hearing this, the man with the mustache shouted sharply, "Full defense! Prepare for the attack!"
They quickly raised their arms, and a Spherical Transparent Protective Shield instantly took shape.
'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'
Hundreds of Flame Ray engulfed the man with the mustache and his companions.
The man with the mustache stared intently at the protective shield in front of him, praying that it would protect him.
But the next second, he froze in shock.
Those terrifying-looking Flame Ray vanished the instant they touched the spherical protective shield.
"An illusion... an illusion?!"
The man with the mustache immediately realized he'd been tricked!
He roared furiously, "Fuck! This bastard tricked us! Deactivate the protective shield and find this bastard! I'm going to kill him with my own hands!"
The Spherical Transparent Protective Shield was retracted, and Mustache and his men frantically pulled the triggers on the hundreds of Loki.
'Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!'
Loki's illusions vanished one after another.
But before each illusion vanishes, it utters a mocking remark. "Foolish mortals, you know nothing of the power of the gods!"
Enraged, the man with the mustache roared, "Ah!!! Bastard! Kill him! Kill him!"
Soon, all the hundreds of Loki illusions were shot down!
The man with the mustache looked at the devastated forest, his face turning ashen.
"Damn it, he got away!"
The subordinate beside him opened his Tablet, quickly typed in a few characters, and then exclaimed excitedly, "Captain Layton, our Tracking System has recorded that guy's energy fluctuations!"
"Really?!" The man with the mustache snatched the Tablet, saw an unnamed energy data displayed on the screen, and happily patted him on the shoulder. "Well done!"
The subordinate immediately smiled obsequiously, "It's all thanks to the captain; it's because you've always taught us so well!"
Seeing this, some of the other subordinates showed envy, some frowned in displeasure, and some simply ignored it...
The man with the mustache glanced at him in surprise, then smiled and nodded, "I remember your name is... Beto?"
Beto nodded hurriedly and said, "Captain Layton has a good memory! I am Agent Beto Flaman."
The man with the mustache looked smug. He shoved the Tablet back into Beto's arms and said, "Agent Beto, activate tracking mode immediately and find out where this escaped bastard is!"
"Yes, Captain Layton!" Beto tapped rapidly on the Tablet.
"Beep!"
A sound came from the Tablet, and the energy model representing Loki instantly lit up.
The Map on the screen expanded rapidly, and a bright red dot suddenly appeared ten kilometers away.
"Captain Layton, I've found him!"
The man with the mustache waved his hand and commanded, "Chase after them!"
A Space Portal opened, and they filed in.
Meanwhile, Loki, having slipped away unnoticed, raced swiftly through the forest.
His mind kept replaying the strange group of soldiers who had suddenly appeared, wondering why they had suddenly targeted him.
And... is Mother safe? Shouldn't I be dead?
I clearly made a pact with the Lord of Evil Spirits, so why wasn't my soul taken away by Lord of Evil Spirits after I died? Instead, I ended up in this unfamiliar forest.
What kind of place is this?!
Just as Loki's mind was racing with a thousand thoughts, a woman's voice suddenly rang in his ears.
"Stop running, you idiot!"
