Josie doesn't even need to use the Power Stone to deal with Loki at this stage.

"Who are you...? No mortal could possess such power. You are an Eternal!?" Loki asked in horror, his neck stiff as he felt the power binding him.

Although he was a weakling, as the "Number One Mage of the Nine Realms" trained by Frigga, he still had a good eye for talent.

In particular, he had sensed this power emanating from Josie in other places as well, specifically from the Eternals.

As mentioned earlier, the Eternals and the Asgardian gods led by Odin are very familiar with each other.

The two sides once cooperated to repel the Frost Giants' invasion of Earth.

Gilgamesh often drank with Odin.

Even the character Golden Hook in the movie, the Indian guy whom Josie once used as a power bank, mentioned that when Saul was a child, he would always follow Saul around.

Loki, who was raised by Odin alongside Thor from a young age, was no exception.

However, too much time has passed, and in most cases Thor and Loki have forgotten about the Eternals.

However, upon seeing the energy emanating from Josie, long-forgotten memories resurfaced in Loki's mind.

However, the strength that Josie displayed was far greater than that of the Eternals he had in mind.

"No, I am not an Eternal, it's just that my power is somewhat similar!" Josie said leisurely. To be precise, the essence of the power he possesses is no different from that of the Eternal, since both come from the original power of the Celestials. It's just that the Celestial power that Josie possesses is at a higher level than the power of those Celestial creations.

"Um, sir from Earth, I think there must be some misunderstanding between us. Perhaps we can sit down and have a good talk to resolve it." Regardless of whether Josie was an Eternal or not, Loki had already realized that the person in front of him was not what he thought, but just an ordinary Earth native. So, based on the principle that a wise man doesn't fight a losing battle, he immediately backed down and decided to smooth things over for now.

As for what happens next, I believe my muscle-bound older brother will be happy to stand up for me.

This is how Loki and Thor have interacted for the past thousand years.

Loki caused trouble, and Thor stepped in to take the blame.

Unfortunately, what Loki didn't expect was that Josie was all too familiar with his tactics.

There's absolutely no way I'd give him that opportunity.

“I’m sorry, Mr. Tivan, for causing you some trouble, but I do have some things to discuss with this third princess of Asgard, so I’ll take my leave now… You won’t tell anyone about what happened here, will you?” Josie ignored Loki’s request and spoke to the Collector on her own.

What's with the third princess of Asgard? Do Thor and I have a sister?

Wait, is this guy talking about me?

Why the third princess, and not the second princess?

Ugh, this guy actually called me a woman! I'll make sure Thor teaches him a lesson he won't forget, and then he'll die a horrible death.

Upon hearing Josie's words, Loki muttered to himself.

“Ah, of course, Mr. Kahn, please feel free to do so… and you can rest assured that as long as you are within the Nowhere, the Guardian of Asgard will not be able to see what’s happening here!” The Collector nodded very tactfully and revealed a secret to Josie.

In other words, even Heimdall, who possesses the "all-seeing eye," cannot see what is happening here, even in a situation where there is no place to be found.

The reason is simple: the essence of the Land of Nothingness is the head of a Celestial. Even though it has been dead for countless billions of years, it is surrounded by mysterious energy and is an extremely special place in the universe.

What he didn't know was that Josie knew about this from the very beginning.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to provoke Loki here.

Although he already possessed the power of a god and held the Power Stone, he was still wary of the immortal Odin.

However, Loki panicked immediately upon hearing what the Collector said. Damn it, that Collector has no sense of honor!

He was originally hoping that Heimdall could see what was happening here and then notify Thor to come and rescue him, but you're saying that Heimdall can't see this?

Even though he wanted to say something, Josie didn't give him the chance. She casually opened a portal and carried Loki inside like a dead dog.

As the de facto ruler of the Kirin Tor and having maintained ties with Kamar-Taj for so many years, it's perfectly normal for Josie to open a portal.

However, the portals in Kamar-Taj have certain limitations. Generally, they can only open portals to places you have already visited, and there are also limitations on distance, so they are not used very often in the universe.

As for Ned Stark in Spider-Man: Nowhere, who can open portals to the multiverse at will, that's only possible because Strange and Spider-Man broke down the "walls" between the many universes beforehand.

However, if it's a small area like within a planet, this portal is still very convenient to use.

Seeing Josie and Loki leave, the Collector's lips curled into a strange smile.

The three princesses of Asgard? That's quite an apt description.

However, he wasn't idle. Josie was gone, but Margot, Carter, Talonis, and the rest of the group were still there. The Collector immediately instructed the maids to serve everyone drinks and entertain them. Howard the Duck was also released along with them.

Meanwhile, when Josie and Loki reappeared, they were already in the same deserted alleyway they had seen when they arrived at the Land of No Return.

Meanwhile, several aliens were fighting in the alley—the Land of Nothingness was an extremely chaotic place to begin with.

There is only one law here: the property of the great collector must not be harmed.

Besides that, you can do anything as long as you have the ability.

Upon seeing Josie suddenly appear and Loki in his hand, the aliens immediately stopped fighting and prepared to figure out what was going on.

However, Josie clearly didn't give them that chance. She threw Loki to the ground like a helpless little girl, and then a violent purple energy swept through, instantly turning the aliens into ashes.

The scene was so terrifying that Loki almost peed his pants.

Oh no, is this guy really going to kill me?

"What? Our Third Princess, are you scared already?" Josie glanced at Loki and said, but she withdrew her grip on Loki.

Hearing Josie continue to call him the Third Princess, Loki was furious inside, but his face was full of flattery.

"Your Excellency, it was all my fault. I sincerely apologize for what I did!" Seeing that the restraints on his body had been removed, Loki struggled to his feet and bowed to Josie in an extremely sincere tone to apologize.

And you know what? Loki's incredibly sincere demeanor was so convincing that anyone unfamiliar with his character could easily be fooled by this facade.

"Yeah, you apologize now, but when you get back you'll go cry to your brother and father, right?" Josie wasn't buying Loki's act and mocked with a half-smile.

"Hehe, Your Excellency is too kind. Asgard has always held a great deal of respect for a strongman like yourself, and we are happy to make friends with you. I believe that if Your Excellency has the opportunity to visit Asgard, you will certainly receive a warm welcome from my father!" Although Josie had seen through his thoughts and he hated Josie to death, Loki's face remained sincere.

As expected of the God of Deception, his shamelessness alone is something that ordinary people cannot learn.

“Look, this is where you fall short of your brother Thor. You have the ability to cause trouble, but not the strength to resolve it, and you also lack the pride of a king… But perhaps that’s what Odin wants!” Josie sneered, looking at him.

"Heh, I don't understand what you mean!" Faced with Josie's sarcasm, especially the emphasis on his inferiority to Thor, even Loki, with his strong tolerance, couldn't help but twitch his lips.

And that's exactly what Odin wanted, leaving Loki somewhat puzzled.

"Boy, aren't you surprised? Why did your father value Thor more from a young age, grooming him as the first choice to inherit the throne, and even bestowing upon him the treasure of Mjolnir... while you, you have nothing and can only be Thor's foil?" Josie's words, like the whispers of a devil, kept echoing in Loki's mind.

Yeah, why?

Loki began to recall the unfair treatment he had received compared to Thor throughout his life.

Especially the Thor's hammer that Josie mentioned.

Yes, why was such a powerful artifact bestowed only upon Thor? He had nothing but a dagger given to him by his mother.

Even the weapons of the Warriors Three and outsiders like Sif are better than his.

But whenever he delved deeper into this thought, another kind face would appear in his mind.

That's the diva Frigga.

"No, no, it's just that we happened to inherit the mantle of our father and mother respectively, and our mother has always favored me more!" Loki couldn't help but deny.

“Oh, really? But Frigga is just a queen, not a god-king. Her favoritism can't change your situation, can it?” Josie continued with a cold laugh.

"What exactly are you trying to say?" Faced with Josie's relentless pressure, Loki finally snapped, shouting, "Kill me if you want, but don't even think about sowing discord among our family members!"

“Kill you? Why would I kill you? Just because of a little argument? And family… Heh… Haven’t you ever considered the possibility that this family isn’t actually yours?” Josie said, a strange smile appearing on her face.

"No, no, that's impossible! You can't fool me with lies!" Josie's words were like a thunderclap, making Loki's head buzz. He then rushed towards Josie like a madman.

His actions were meaningless, and he was easily subdued by Josie once again!

"Hehe, whether I'm lying or not, you'll know once you verify it yourself... In Odin's treasury, there is an artifact called the Box of Ice. Once you touch it, you'll understand why I'm saying this... Take this, and after you've verified it, you can use it to contact me. Trust me, you'll come looking for me then!" Josie tossed a purple crystal in front of Loki, then bent down and patted Loki's cheek.

After saying that, he opened a portal and returned to the Collector's exhibition hall.

The purple gem he left for Loki was actually a communicator based on arcane magic, capable of communicating over extremely long distances... even farther than ordinary hyperspace communicators.

As Josie left, the energy that had been binding Loki dissipated instantly.

After gaining his freedom, Loki immediately stood up and tried to kick the crystal in front of him away, but stopped just before his foot touched it.

Do I really not belong to that family?

After some hesitation, Loki picked up the crystal.

"Hey, you over there, that's our stuff. Hand it over right now!" Just then, a few alien thugs passed by the alley and saw the amethyst in Loki's hand. Their faces immediately lit up with greedy expressions.

After all, this thing looks shiny and valuable.

"Huh? Is this yours? I'm so sorry, I'll return it to you right away!" Upon hearing the words of the alien thugs, the hesitation on Loki's face vanished instantly, replaced by a cold glint, which quickly turned into a warm smile as he raised the crystal in his hand.

But behind him, a dagger slipped silently from his sleeve into his other hand.

Honestly, anyone dares to bully him.

A few minutes later, Loki's figure had disappeared into the alley, leaving behind only a few corpses with blood gushing from their throats.

At a high vantage point in the Land of Nothingness, Josie watched Loki's departing figure with a satisfied smile on her face.

Hurry up and grow into the "Number One Mage of the Nine Realms," or you won't even be qualified to be a pawn!
