Chapter 179 Loki's Answer!
Stark realized that with Thor around, it was best not to bring up their suspicions about Loki without solid evidence.

Otherwise, it will only cause a split between the Justice League and Asgard.

Although Thor was only here for the first time and had only fought alongside them once, they were not very familiar with each other.

But it ultimately represents Asgard, Odin, and the Norse pantheon, so these influences must be taken into account!

At least as long as Carrot El doesn't return, Thor is definitely the strongest fighter in the team right now.

I hope that bastard Carrot gets a good beating someday!
"Alright, that's enough for today. Everyone must be very tired."

Iron Man clapped his hands, breaking the somewhat tense atmosphere:

"The post-war relief work in New York has been taken over by that old popsicle sent by Zheng Shu himself."

"Guys, do you know what we should do now?"

"Take a shower, eat, have a get-together!"

"My treat!!!"

Stark waved his hand and said, "I heard there's a really good barbecue restaurant. Although the ground facilities around headquarters were destroyed, the underground buildings are all intact. Let's take a shower first, and then have a meal together."

“After you’ve rested, we can talk about other things. I need to prepare new armor and energy, and clean up the mess after the battle. Natasha will be in charge of the handover with S.H.I.E.L.D. to ensure the Tesseract is not taken away again, and Thor needs to deal with Loki’s matter.”

"Banner, I heard you have a sister who is a lawyer. Could you contact her and see if you can recruit her? We need a lawyer to draft documents to control public opinion."

"Besides dealing with these things, we also have to settle the large number of Namekians who have come to Earth."

“Bick has already taken them to the dormitory building.”

Stark skillfully began directing the group. He and Bruce were both the brains of the Justice League, but their strengths differed. Naturally, Batman wouldn't try to take command from him at this moment.

Moreover, it was obvious to everyone in the group that there was something off between Batman and Thor.

Bruce probably won't give up on the matter of Loki's ownership so easily.

"You guys get together. There's still a lot going on in Gotham. I'm going back. I've already sent the location of the enemy base to my email."

"As for the two people trapped in this attack, it is best to wait until Carrot El returns before dealing with them."

"The entire process has been recorded by computer, and you can view it at any time."

Batman doesn't like these kinds of dinners, although he has changed somewhat after meeting so many people.

But for now, the most comforting food is still eating waffles with Alfred at Wayne Manor.

Moreover, there were messages in the previous communication channels that Gotham was in danger. Now that half of Earth's crisis has been resolved, he has to go back to Gotham to grind.

If he's not around, and those monsters and freaks in Gotham get out, they'll wreak havoc on the world.

"Okay, Bruce, feel free to contact me if you need any help. How are Bulma and the others doing?"

As someone who suffers from anxiety disorder, Tony Stark can understand Batman's constant anxiety.

You should know that Batman's illness was much more serious than his. In the world of The Dark Knight, there was almost no rest, no victory, only rolling, crazy rolling, endless rolling, rolling in any situation, just to have a little bit of a sense of security.

Therefore, Tony did not stop Bruce from leaving. Although this seemed rather heartless and a bit like discarding a used tool, for people like them, perhaps stopping them would be a form of torture, unless they could one day gain a true sense of security.

"No messages have come in, everything is normal."

Bruce glanced back at Stark. Batman, who had been keeping a close eye on the matter, was afraid of making a mistake. Even if he had to fight 100 battles like this, Batman didn't want to face a corrupted Superman.

Therefore, the whereabouts of the Al family are a top secret even within the Justice League.

After discussing it, Iron Man and Batman decided to first place them in the Temple of Celestials, as it would ensure their safety. Then, they would enter the Quantum Realm through the Pym Particles, showing that they had made thorough preparations.

"Be careful, Bruce, we're all here." Natasha walked over and put her hand on Batman's shoulder, giving him a heartfelt warning. Then she used her slingshot to open a portal for him, and the others said their goodbyes to him.

Looking into those sincere, concerned eyes, Bruce felt a little uncomfortable, but he nodded and left.

Seeing Batman leave, everyone quickly got to work in an orderly fashion, taking showers and changing clothes as needed.

They must be in top form to face the upcoming battle.

In fact, just as they had predicted, everything that seemed to have ended was quietly continuing on its course.

Having successfully taken over everything from Dr. Grove and the Red Ribbon Army, Luther quickly returned to his laboratory at his residence. He carefully stroked the glass of the Zod incubation chamber and murmured:

"You've flown too high; you crave humanity, so you need human blood to nourish you."

"This is true for Krypton, and for Earth as well. You must be very resentful, General?"

"Come back soon, Carrot El, god of the new era, I await you."

Right behind him, a whole box of green kryptonite was radiating its own unique light.

The tranquility that followed the dinner party ushered in a peaceful night of sleep. After the dinner, while everyone was resting, Thor went alone to the place where Loki was imprisoned.

Looking at Loki's face through the glass window, he thought it was the first time he had ever seen a look of melancholy on Loki's face. He took a glass of wine, stood in front of him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Your plan failed, you're unhappy."

"There are only the two of us now, can you tell me why?"

“Loki, we’ve been together for thousands of years, I don’t believe you would be that kind of person.”

Upon hearing this, Loki's gaze slowly turned to the soon-to-be new king of Asgard, his eyes filled with mockery, self-deprecation, pity, and comfort. He lowered his head and smiled.

"You've been here for quite a while now. Have you heard about Superman?"

Thor had never seen Loki like this before; there was no sly grin of triumph, no mischievousness after a prank, only worry and sorrow:
"Yes, what's wrong?"

"His power will become a threat to the Father of the Gods."

Loki's words made Thor's heart tighten, and his pupils contracted in shock.

This was an answer he hadn't considered, and it was the most genuine answer Loki gave after stripping away all the pretense of ambition, status, honor, and respect.

That is, he still wanted to do something for Odin, for Asgard, and for that vague and glorious mission.

"You should know that no one can defeat the Father of the Gods."

Thor puffed out his chest and said proudly and righteously that Odin was the faith of all Asgard and the most invincible god in his heart.

"Ah!"

But these words only earned Loki's undisguised sneer. He walked step by step to the glass window and stared at Thor.

Only when their gazes met, reaching the deepest part of each other's pupils, did he mutter softly:
"No need, just being able to defeat you is enough."

Thor was stunned.

For a moment, the hand that gripped Thor's hammer and wielded the silver lightning python trembled slightly.

"Loki."

Looking at Loki, who was now locked in a glass cage, Thor felt an unimaginable pang of pain.

Moved?
Yes, he was very touched!
It turns out that Loki did all this for his brother; he still had the Allfather and Asgard in his heart.
