Lord of Cinder in American Comics

There are still four gems left. Like Thanos, Ash is waiting for his chance. The gems will eventually come to him, and he just needs to accept them.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Ash used his clone to transmit his will to a distant place.

"Interesting. Let me see what's so different about this universe..."

------------

Chapter 439: Asgardian Ambassador: Loki

The changes in the Dark Souls world are obvious to all, but in the real universe, no one has noticed any changes, or rather, those who are capable of noticing them simply don't bother to explain them.

Anderson, who hadn't been seen for a long time, knocked on Ash's office door again.

"Sir, we have something to report!"

"Something's up? The troublemakers have all been taken for medical checkups, what else could be going on? Gwen Stacy is now a NYPD beauty queen, who can possibly take on the police force's firepower plus four green turtles and two spiders?"

Ash stared at the ceiling, speaking listlessly. Anderson walked over and placed a stack of freshly printed, still-warm documents in front of Ash.

Anderson said, "The World Security Council's announcement tells us to go ask Loki what he's doing back on Earth?"

"Who?"

"Sir, Loki. Codename: The Third Princess of Asgard. You're the one who gave him that name."

Ash waved his hand and said, "Leave the alien matter to the Alien Management Office. This isn't our responsibility..."

“Russell also gave us a heads-up, but they still passed the matter on to us. Sir, to be honest, they all know they can't beat Loki…”

Ash smacked his lips, finally realizing that after going through so much, everyone had a clear understanding of his strength.

For Asgard's foremost sorcerer like Loki, numbers are no longer relevant. The truly high-level combatants, lacking the ability to see through illusions and possessing high magic resistance, are simply easy prey for Loki.

Where is he now?

"Uh, it looks like some kind of crab leg ritual is taking place in an open area in Queens..."

Since learning about Frigga's prophecy, Loki has been tirelessly inquiring about the Reality Stone.

Finally, the last record of the gem was found in the library of Asgard.

After Odin's father, Bauer, fought the Dark Elves, he sealed the Dark Elves' most precious artifacts on Earth.

However, when Loki went to the Norse continent to see the former Asgardian settlement, he found nothing except for one of Odin's seals.

After trying for a long time, Loki was unable to break the seal, except for receiving explanations and warnings from Odin.

Now Loki can only place his hopes on his 'good friend', the Greedy One, after all, it was the Greedy One who gave him the clues about the Reality Stone.

So, following his usual method of summoning demons, Loki filled the summoning circle with the name of the Greedy One.

This summoning circle is essentially similar to an old-fashioned telephone line, sending messages to hell or other relay stations, registering them, and then waiting for a response from the other party.

However, Loki did not receive a response from the greedy, but rather from agents of the Bureau of Control.

The current frontline troops of the Control Bureau can no longer be described as agents or soldiers, after all, the Abominations and Punishers charging at the forefront have transcended the realm of normal humans.

I don't know who he learned it from, but Punisher Frank has lost his previous steady and methodical tactics. Now he can take down the enemy in one wave and he will never wait for a second time.

This also reduced the number of prisoners in the Control Bureau's cells, and Warden Anderson gave it a thumbs up.

Abomination and Frank descended from the sky, sending up a massive amount of dirt and disrupting Loki's telephone communications.

Loki's clone appeared next to Frank, his dagger aimed at Frank's waist, but Frank nimbly turned around and stabbed his own dagger into Loki's body instead.

Even as his clone shattered, Loki didn't stop. The staff Frigga had crafted for him was already floating in front of him. A powerful beam of energy shot towards Abomination and Frank.

Abomination spontaneously stepped in front of Frank, his cannon hammer being melted by the energy beam, forcing him to raise both hands to shield himself.

Relying on his powerful physique, Abomination approached Loki step by step.

However, another of Loki's clones appeared behind Abomination, raising his small dagger.

With a clang, Loki's dagger was knocked away by a bullet that seemed to come from nowhere. Loki glanced into the distance, and then the figure vanished.

"The thermal imaging can't detect him!"

Swagger gave a brief report and then used the scope to select the battlefield again.

Braving his way to Loki's side, Abomination lunged at him, but Loki, who was still releasing energy beams, vanished instantly. Abomination misjudged the situation, stumbled, and crashed into the nearby woods.

Facing Loki, perhaps one of the strongest sorcerers in the Marvel Universe, even Abomination and Franky are no match for him.

Loki can fool everyone with just illusions and clones.

"Oh~ you people are really too weak. It seems we really have to rely on that dimensional lord to clean up your mess? What a pitiful fellow, having to play house with weaklings like you..."

Loki, who appeared from the side, glanced back at Abomination behind him, then looked at Frank in front of him. After saying these words, he was stabbed into points of light by Frank's dagger and scattered in all directions.

However, at this moment, Abomination's mind was disturbed by Loki's magic, and he began to punch Frank without restraint. The battle turned into infighting, and Frank could only exchange blows with Abomination.

Knowing Loki's abilities, the Bureau of Control refrained from its usual large-scale operations this time, opting instead to rely on a small, elite force to achieve victory. However, in the face of Loki, these so-called elite forces are merely a match for ordinary, reclusive Earthlings.

After dodging Abomination's punch, Frank slid away between Abomination's legs and quickly pulled a strange wooden object from his pocket.

Like a shriveled grass seed magnified many times, it also has a strange opening on its seed body.

Giant Tree Seeds: The Giant Tree, also known as the "Sentinel Tree," has seeds that can reveal the location of intruders. If used properly, they can be effective against Dark Spirits.

Frank crushed the seed, and a wave of energy spread around him. Abomination shook his muddled head and realized that his teammate was under his fist.

Loki, meanwhile, was sitting at a table and chair in the distance, his staff on the table, his head propped up by his hand, gazing into the distance as if waiting idly.

Looking at the countless infrared marks appearing on his body, Loki put away his staff, shrugged indifferently, and said, "I surrender!"

Inside the control room, Frank looked at the indifferent Loki, Loki's words just now echoing in his mind.

Anderson walked over, patted Frank on the shoulder, and said, "We have to let him go, his lawyer is here..."

Frank was somewhat surprised and asked, "A lawyer? He has a lawyer?"

"Actually, you know his lawyer too; he's someone you can't afford to mess with..."

As soon as Anderson finished speaking, a greedy man dressed in a well-tailored suit, with his hair slicked back and carrying a briefcase, appeared, looking every bit the businessman.

"My client, as Asgard's diplomatic representative, came to survey matters concerning Asgard's private territory. This detention is an insult to him!"

The Asgardian gods have maintained their territories in Northern Europe since ancient times, and their beliefs are deeply rooted in the land. This is an insult to the feelings of the Norse people!

The greedy man approached Loki without any hesitation and tossed his briefcase onto the table. Katcha opened it, took out the documents inside, and stuck them to the glass of the observation room.

Pointing to the document, the Greedy One said, "This is a document personally signed by Odin, the King of Asgard, and Frigga, the Queen of Asgard. It can prove the legality of my client Loki's actions!"

The greedy man pounded on the glass, urging the other side to react.

Frank suppressed his anger, but Anderson placed a hand on his shoulder and said, "This matter has been reported to the World Security Council, and they have agreed to this interpretation. Loki is now legitimate."

Acting within the rules is Ash's consistent standard, as well as the Control Bureau's standard. Within the rules, various means are permissible, but existing rules cannot be broken.

The greedy man's actions were entirely reasonable and legal; in fact, he did go to Asgard to obtain the document from Frigga.

The Asgardian diplomatic ship has entered Earth orbit for an official diplomatic visit.

The World Security Council wouldn't risk offending a superpower over such a trivial matter. Since the other party has already offered a way out, they'll accept it.

"and many more!"

Frank pressed the speaker button; he had just noticed something different about the document.

"You say Loki is a diplomatic envoy, but the documents you presented say 'Loki'?"

The greedy man immediately stopped what he was doing, took out the document he had just taken, and examined its contents repeatedly.

The greedy man's head spun back and forth between the documents and Loki; if he were any faster, he could have taken off on the spot.

Loki's hands were already making a cracking sound as he pinched them, and he understood what it meant. Frigga, as his mother, was also joking along.

The Greedy One sighed and said, "Your illusion magic is getting better and better! This was written by Frigga herself; you didn't want to disappoint her, did you..."

In this situation, the greedy one cannot take him away without proving his identity. The leader of the Control Bureau is now a dimensional lord, and it would be extremely unwise to confront him.

Loki gritted his teeth and dispelled the illusion, revealing a woman with a beautiful figure to everyone.

She looks three-tenths like Loki, except that her ample bosom and incredibly alluring curves make it hard to connect her with the person from before.

'Kacha'

The greedy man somehow produced a Polaroid camera and took a picture of Loki's current appearance.

Seeing Loki practically bursting with anger, the Greedy One waved his hand and said, "This is what your mother wanted. She said she also wanted to see what her other daughter looked like..."

Loki gritted her teeth and said, "This is all because of that damn gift of yours! I'll kill you!"

The greedy man pointed to his surroundings and said, "In this situation, threatening your lawyer is not a good idea, especially since he brought you the information you wanted..."

Loki was somewhat surprised and asked, "You knew?"

“You think my documents are forged? I really did go to Asgard, and Frigga even showed me the portrait of Toria she left behind. Thor and Sif are also starting to prepare for their wedding; they're just waiting for this to be over before they get married.”

"Thor..."

"Don't worry, Thor hasn't left Frigga's side at all. Even if there are any inconveniences, Sif is with Frigga. They're just waiting for you now."

The greedy man extended his finger and touched the restraint on Roki's wrist, causing it to fall onto the table.

Standing at the doorway, the Greedy One turned his head towards Loki and said, "Let's go, we need to hurry..."

------------

Chapter 440: S.H.I.E.L.D. Under Control

Loki followed the Greedy Ones and left the American mainland, flying directly towards Europe.

Along the way, Loki repeatedly asked the Greedy One to remove the effects of the Transformation Ring on her body, but each time the Greedy One would take out a Polaroid camera, casually record what Loki looked like, and then send it to Frigga.

Suppressing her anger and considering that everything still needed the greedy one's help, Loki still didn't plunge the dagger into the greedy one's body.

In the end, Loki concealed his true appearance and transformed into the original Loki.

Loki asked, "Where are you taking me? I've searched all of Northern Europe, and apart from me... apart from the seal that old man Odin set up, there's nothing else..."

The greedy man pulled out two plane tickets, pointed to the destinations on them, and said, "That depends on what your grandfather was thinking back then. The Reality Stone was hidden by your grandfather..."

Loki looked at the ticket and saw that it clearly said 'United Kingdom'.
