Chapter 203 Loki Appears

"Two signature Big Mac burger meals, please!"

After ordering two hamburger meals from the owner, who worked part-time at the fast food restaurant, Erin led Thor to a table in the corner of the restaurant and sat down.

After sitting down, Thor, whose complexion seemed much better, said to the clown Erin sitting opposite him, "The Big Mac Burger Set Meal, is that the tavern's signature dish?"

Upon hearing this, the clown Erin nodded: "On the way here, I heard someone say that this restaurant's signature Big Mac burger is pretty good, so I brought you here to try it."

"Is that so? Then I really have to try it! You don't know, I feel so hungry right now I could eat a whole cow!"

Isn't that right?

It has been more than a day since Thor last ate. In addition, his divine power has been sealed by Odin, and then two large tubes of blood were drained by the clown Arryn. Thor is now extremely weak, so it would be strange if he didn't feel hungry.

The burger fast food restaurant on the roadside is always quick to serve food, and since it wasn't mealtime, the proprietress brought out two huge burger meals in no time.

"Two signature Big Mac burger meals, please enjoy."

"Thanks!"

Feeling the enticing aroma wafting to his nose, Thor, who was already starving, thanked them and grabbed the thick, giant hamburger, stuffing it into his mouth and chewing it heartily.

In no time at all, Thor had finished all the food on his plate.

After grabbing a glass of iced cola from the side and taking a swig, Thor's eyes lit up.

"This drink is good, I like it."

After gulping down the cola in his cup, Thor picked up the cup and threw it forcefully to the ground.

Just as the glass in Thor's hand was about to shatter, the clown Erin twitched his fingertips slightly, and a silver thread quickly wrapped around the glass.

It was pulled back from mid-air, saving its tragic life from near destruction.

After placing the cup back on the table, the clown Erin said calmly, "Smashing cups isn't allowed here. In Midgard, unless you're extremely dissatisfied with the chef's cooking, no one usually breaks a cup."

Thor, who had been slightly excited, showed a hint of embarrassment upon hearing this: "I'm sorry, but at a banquet in Asgard, smashing a glass means 'I want another glass,' and it's also a compliment to the chef."

"I know, it's just a difference in customs."

After giving a slight nod, the clown Erin said, "However, if you intend to continue living in Midgard, you'd better change your old habits."

"Living in Midgard—no, although I've angered the Father and been banished to Midgard, I'll return to Asgard and explain to the Father once his anger subsides..."

"go back?"

"If you could go back, that would be wonderful."

At this point, a strange glint flashed in the eyes of the clown Erin as he looked at Thor.

Just then, Thor's stomach, which had just finished a huge Big Mac meal, suddenly rumbled with an old, rumbling sound.

"Mmm, it tastes really good, Joker, my friend. Can I have another one, no, two more?"

Upon hearing this, the clown Erin laughed and said, "Of course."

As he spoke, the clown Erin called out towards the bar, "Two more Big Mac meals for this gentleman, please."

"Thanks!"

Thor thanked the clown Erin upon hearing this.

It must be said that, as the crown prince of Asgard, Thor's personality may be a bit reckless, but when he doesn't act impulsively or get angry, his manners and upbringing are still quite good.

Considering he had just drawn two large vials of Thor's divine blood, the Joker, Arryn, explained some Earth customs and things to be aware of when living on Earth...

Just as Thor began to devour his third hamburger meal, three figures suddenly walked past the fast food restaurant window.

One of the slightly younger women gasped in surprise when she caught sight of Thor devouring his food.

"Oh my god! He's here..."

Hearing the exclamation from outside the window, the clown Erin smiled slightly at Thor and said, "Well, the person who knocked you unconscious last night has arrived. I'm leaving now."

"Hmm? My friend, are you leaving?"

Thor, who was eating heartily, was startled and looked at his first friend whom he had made after being exiled to Midgard with some surprise.

"Of course, just like you, I have a lot of things to do."

As he spoke, the Joker Erin pulled out a wad of US dollars from his pocket and pushed it in front of Thor: "This is Earth's currency. This money should be enough for you to live on Earth for a long time."

Currency on Earth?

Because of his exile, Thor, who might have to live on Earth for a while, did not refuse the clown Arryn's kindness, but instead solemnly thanked him:

"Thank you, Joker. After the Father God forgives my sins, I will hold a grand feast for you in Asgard..."

"Then I'll be waiting for your good news..."

They watched as Jane Volt and her two companions pushed open the restaurant doors and walked in.

The clown Erin rose from his seat, then with a swift movement, disappeared into the shadows of the restaurant right in front of Thor.

But just as the clown Erin was about to disappear completely into the shadows...

A small note suddenly floated out of the clown Erin's hand.

"By the way, my friend, I believe you'll be interested in the message on this piece of paper."

Such a large, living person simply disappeared into a corner of the restaurant without attracting the attention of anyone in the restaurant.

Even Jane Foster and her two companions, who had just entered, seemed completely unaware of all this.

Thor, who had witnessed all of this, couldn't help but exclaim, "What masterful illusion! Is the Joker a magician from Midgard?"

After making a remark.

Thor reached out and caught the note in mid-air.

When his gaze swept over the note in his hand, Thor's expression suddenly changed.

······························

That night.

A torrential downpour hit the town of Puens.

Large raindrops fell from the sky, pattering loudly against the makeshift shed hastily erected by S.H.I.E.L.D.

Meanwhile, the Joker, Erin, who had taken some time to go to Las Cruces next door to resolve his subordinates' arms supply issues, was sitting at a table in the S.H.I.E.L.D. monitoring room.

Holding a bucket of popcorn, he watched with great interest as the surveillance footage showed Thor beating up the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.

Faced with Thor's rich combat experience and physical abilities that far surpass those of Earthlings even with his divine power sealed, the well-trained agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. were as inexperienced and useless as low-paid security guards in a shopping mall.

Of course, this was also related to Coulson's order that no one was allowed to fire.

Otherwise, with Thor's divine power sealed in his body, if he were to be targeted by a barrage of gunfire, he would probably be riddled with bullets.

·····························

This incongruous scene in the monitoring room went unnoticed by anyone.

It seems to be within their sight.

At this moment, the clown Erin, who was eating popcorn on the table, seemed to have never existed.

·····················

soon.

After defeating another tall, black agent.

Covered in mud, Thor tore open a layer of nylon film outside the temporary passage and walked straight up to Mjolnir, "Thor's hammer".

Looking at the "Mjolnir" that appeared in front of him, Thor couldn't hide his smile.

"Hey, old buddy, I've come to find you!"

talking.

Thor reached for the hammer.

at the same time.

From the suspended basket, Hawkeye, who had already pointed his arrow at Thor, spoke into his headset.

"Last chance, sir!"

Having reached the exit of the passageway, Coulson, who had been silently observing everything, narrowed his eyes and said in a deep voice, "Wait, I want to see this..."

next second.

Thor's hand gripped the handle of Mjolnir.

At the same time, Hawkeye, Coulson, and countless S.H.I.E.L.D. agents around them were all watching this scene intently.

After gripping the hammer handle.

Thor began to exert force.

But embarrassingly, just like those who touched Thor's hammer before, Thor's hammer didn't budge under Thor's power.

Upon seeing this, Thor was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously increased the pressure in his hands.

A few seconds later.

Thor went from holding Mjolnir with one hand to holding it with both hands.

Even with Thor's arm muscles bulging, he still couldn't budge Mjolnir in the slightest.

His expression shifted from the initial joy and confidence of finding Thor's hammer to astonishment, disbelief, and a hint of panic...

Boom!

A bolt of lightning ripped through the night sky, instantly illuminating the darkness.

This also made the muddy, soaking wet figure under the rain look even more disheveled.

Thor, his hands gripping the hammer handle tightly, veins bulging on his neck, suddenly raised his head and let out a roar filled with anger, resentment, and despair.

"No!"

A fierce roar echoed through the night sky.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Thor loosened his grip and collapsed to the ground, his eyes vacant.

The torrential rain stung people's faces, but even so, Thor's eyes remained fixed on the night sky.

"How pitiful!"

Apart from the clown Erin, probably no one else present could understand the utter despair that Thor, usually so proud and confident, was feeling at this moment.

The hammer of Thor, which had been with him for almost his entire life and was given to him by his father, had now... abandoned him.

And this also means...

Banished to Earth by Odin, he also lost his status as Thor.

······················

After swallowing the last bite of popcorn, Joker Erin flicked his wrist, and the empty popcorn bucket disappeared from his hand.

After putting away the popcorn bucket.

The Joker, Arryn, smirked slightly, his eyes piercing through the rain as he looked at Loki in the distance. Loki was dressed in a fitted suit, a scarf around his neck, and carrying a black umbrella, walking towards the makeshift base surrounding Thor's hammer.

"It's finally here."

·······························································

Just like the clown Erin.

The S.H.I.E.L.D. agents present were completely unaware of Loki emerging from the rain, and even the various surveillance cameras throughout the base could not capture a single glimpse of him.

of course.

These people do not include the clown, Erin.

It seemed as if it sensed the gaze of the clown, Erin.

Loki, who was walking towards them with an umbrella, paused slightly, then turned his head to look at Arryn the Joker, who was brazenly staring at him from a few dozen meters away.

After a moment of silence, Loki narrowed his eyes slightly and spoke to Arryn:

"Can you see me?"

Is it so hard to see you?

After asking a question in return, the Joker Arryn looked at the evil god Loki in front of him and said, "But you are weaker than I imagined, evil god Loki."

Loki, who had been wearing a slight smile, immediately turned serious upon hearing this.

"Very well, Midgardian, I'll make you understand the price of angering me..."

Loki hadn't finished speaking.

In an instant, a silvery-white thread, manipulated by the clown Erin, wove into a slender giant net, enveloping Erin's right rear.

next second.

A distorted phantom appeared behind Arryn, and then Loki, who should have been dozens of meters in front of Arryn, was suddenly forced to appear from behind the Joker Arryn by the giant silver-white net.

Loki appeared behind the Joker Arryn, a long, narrow dagger gleaming with a sharp, cold light, now in his hand.

If it weren't for the web of resentment and venomous love that forced him to act, Loki, who had secretly infiltrated through illusion, would probably have already plunged the dagger into Arryn the Joker's lower back.

With the dagger's astonishing sharpness and the numerous magical runes engraved on it, even if the clown Erin were to be accidentally stabbed, he would probably have a huge hole pierced in his kidney.

As the figure behind the Joker Arryn appeared, Loki, who was still dozens of meters away from Arryn, disappeared in a flash of light.

When Loki saw that his illusion had been seen through by the Joker Arryn once again, a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

If it could be said that he was seen by the clown Arryn before, it could be attributed to his arrogance and carelessness in the face of these mortals from Midgard, which led to Arryn's discovery.

Now, he has been discovered by the clown Erin once again, and easily forced to reveal his true form.

This goes beyond what can be described as a mere "careless" statement.

Seeing Loki's slight daze, the Joker Arryn's lips curled into a slight smile, and he spoke in an unusually mocking tone:

"Heh, is this all the mighty god Loki has to offer?"
