American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

Didn't Loki surrender during the Battle of New York?

The ones who surrendered weren't even dark elf leaders like Malekith, but just a few humans!

As Loki himself said, his surrender was not just a simple surrender, but a scheme to dismantle the Avengers from within, and he had a much bigger plan.

Therefore, option A is not considered problematic by most people.

You can't say that surrendering with ulterior motives doesn't constitute surrender.

"Acting with Thor? Oh, that's unlikely." When his gaze fell on option B, Loki immediately shook his head.

First of all, given their personalities, such a thing would never happen; Thor's way of solving problems is always reckless.

Use a hammer to smash everything.

It's impossible to use acting, a method that requires mental effort.

That's only one aspect.

Not to mention, Loki's true identity has now been revealed; he now knows that he is not Odin's son, but the son of the Frost Giant King.

Not long ago, they sent the Destroyer down to Midgard to try to kill Thor, and almost used the Bifrost to destroy Jotunheim.

Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, Loki knew that his secret release of the Frost Giants into Asgard would soon be exposed.

Given all that he has done, he would be sentenced to death in Asgard, or at the very least, spend the rest of his life in prison.

After all that happened, his relationship with Thor deteriorated to a freezing point, and they were absolutely on opposite sides.

How could the two possibly cooperate against an enemy?

"Pretending to agree to Thor's request, then betraying him at the last minute? That's my style! My usual style!" Loki immediately ruled out option B and then turned his attention to option C.

"That's Thor's usual style. Every time I use this same trick, Thor falls for it!"

Everyone around them agreed.

When the Rainbow Bridge broke, Thor showed everyone how easily Loki could trick him; Loki could fool him with a single, utterly despicable lie.

Option C is definitely possible.

"Take advantage of the opportunity and kill Thor decisively?" Loki paused for a moment, then said, "That's not my style."

Although in everyone's eyes, Loki is a ruthless and heartless executioner who would even kill his own brother, and a psychopath.

But only Loki himself knew that he had no intention of killing Thor.

What he sought was always very simple: fairness!

Loki hoped that Odin, Frigga, Heimdall, and other Asgardians would treat him as they would Thor, rather than as if he weren't Odin's biological son.

Although he was not Odin's biological son.

Although he did send the Destroyer down to the mortal realm to kill Thor not long ago, it was just a momentary impulse, nothing more!

Imagine Loki had just ascended the throne of Asgard, and all the people of Asgard should have obeyed Loki's orders, but what happened?

His prestige was not even comparable to that of Thor, who had been stripped of his divine power and exiled to Midgard!

It was one thing to deal with his good friends in Asgard, but even someone as powerful and influential as Heimdall was outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, secretly conspiring to bring Thor back and replace him.

How could Loki not be furious?

He only decided to kill Thor in a fit of anger.

Otherwise, he had already seen Thor in the mortal realm before, so why didn't he take action then?

Chapter 170 Scary! Thor can use his brain now!

After Loki's analysis, he quickly eliminated options B and D, leaving only options A and C.

So, was it a surrender, or a deliberate attempt to trick Thor?

After a moment's thought, Loki made his choice and said to the big screen, "I choose C!"

While surrendering is in line with Loki's style, the title states that Loki surrendered as soon as Thor brought him to the Dark World. Here's a crucial adjective: "just."

What is the Dark World?

That's a dead star!

That wasn't a place Loki was familiar with.

Therefore, when Loki arrives in a completely unfamiliar place, the first thing he should do is figure out the situation before deciding whether to surrender or take any other strategy.

Every conspiracy, or rather, any strategy, has one prerequisite: sufficient intelligence support.

It doesn't make much sense to decide to surrender so soon after arriving in the dark world.

Therefore, comparing the two, it seems more reasonable to have tricked Thor.

After answering, Loki wore a confident, faint smile as he awaited the system's reward.

But the next moment, Loki's smile froze.

[Incorrect answer!]

The system immediately provided feedback.

[The respondent, Rocky Odinson, will be punished by having ten years of his lifespan removed. Execution immediately!]

Upon hearing the system's notification, Loki immediately sensed that something was missing from his body—clearly, it was the missing ten years of lifespan.

Loki's expression stiffened slightly, turning somewhat unpleasant. He didn't care about ten years of lifespan at all; after all, he was a god, with a long lifespan to speak of.

But Loki lost face by answering incorrectly twice in a row.

"Thanks, Loki, for eliminating one option for us," Tony Stark added, his usual sassy tone only adding, "and it was a very deceptive one at that."

“Tin Man, this isn’t fair!” Loki said to Tony Stark with a long face. “You knew all the information, but you didn’t tell me anything.”

"Fairness? What right do people who invade Earth without cause have to talk about fairness?" Tony Stark couldn't help but sneer.

"Alright, Loki has finished answering. Now it's our turn to answer this question. Let's discuss it," Captain America said, glancing at everyone and speaking seriously.

"Now we still have three options: A, B, and D, but I think we can rule out A because I don't think Loki would be that stupid."

Captain America also shared his analysis.

"Stupid?" Loki was taken aback, then looked at Captain America with a serious expression. "It seems you do have some information that I don't know about."

“When the Dark Elves invaded Asgard, Frigga didn’t know Malekith at all. So it’s clear that Thor and Loki’s fight against Malekith happened after the Dark Elves invaded Asgard.”

Captain America ignored Loki and continued talking.

Everyone present nodded in agreement; this point was quite obvious.

If Thor and Loki had clashed with Malekith in the Dark World, how could Frigga not recognize him?

“We all know that Malekith killed Thor’s mother, Frigga, when he invaded Asgard…”

"Soldier, what did you say?" Loki's voice suddenly rose an octave, and a chilling aura emanated from him. "My mother was murdered in the future? By that Malekith?"

Loki immediately became excited and was unable to remain calm.

“Yes.” Captain America glanced at Loki for a moment and nodded. “The quiz system has shown similar footage before. The dark elves invaded Asgard and killed Frigga.”

"Is that so?" Loki replied coldly, his eyes flashing, and no one knew what he was thinking.

“We’ve all seen the footage. Although Malekith left a lot of mess in Asgard, they eventually escaped. This shows that the Dark Elves’ power at the time was insufficient to defeat Asgard.”

"So, given that Asgard clearly had the upper hand, would Malekith really believe that an Asgardian prince would travel all the way to the Dark World to surrender by cutting off another prince's arm?"

"Not to mention, Malekith also killed the prince's mother."

“The captain is right.” Nick Fury nodded in agreement. “It’s practically as if something’s wrong is written all over his face. Malekith wouldn’t believe it if he had even a shred of brains.”

"And our god of cunning and trickery could not possibly have been unaware of this, and thus did something so foolish."

Option A was eliminated without much controversy.

Now only options B and D remain. If we filter them one more time, the answer to the question will be revealed.

However, at the moment, no one can think of any direct relevant clues to support their judgment on these two options.

We can only deduce and guess based on what we already know.

"Thor and Loki teaming up to act? I have to say, I can't even imagine this scene. This is not Thor's style at all."

Black Widow thought about it carefully and immediately shook her head.

Thor, that muscle-bound guy who's always yelling and calling for his dad, could he possibly handle something as delicate as acting?

Others also found the scene unimaginable, as the style was completely out of place.

“D seems more reasonable,” Hawkeye Barton chimed in. “Loki sent men to kill Thor last time, but they failed.”

This undeniable fact has proven to everyone that Loki did indeed intend to kill Thor!

As everyone has analyzed this far, the answer is gradually becoming clear: D has a much higher chance of winning than B.

Option B lacks direct factual support and is inconsistent with Thor's style. In contrast, option D is more logical and supported by relevant facts.

Everyone knows how to choose.

"Wait a moment!"

But at that moment, Tony Stark suddenly remembered something.

He suddenly stared directly at Loki: "Even if you Asgardians are gods, if your hands are cut off, they won't grow back, right?"

“Why should I tell you, Tin Man?” Loki said with a sneer.

You won't share any intelligence with me, but you want to get intelligence from me? What are you thinking?

“How about this, we make a deal: you answer this question, and I can answer one of yours later,” Tony Stark said calmly to Loki.

“That sounds fair.” Loki thought for a moment and agreed.

Anyway, the information Tony Stark asked about wasn't anything too important.

“Even if the hand of the Asgardian god were cut off, it wouldn’t grow back,” Loki then said to Tony Stark.

“Just as I thought!” Tony Stark nodded. “Thor once said that Odin lost an eye in the war against the Frost Giants, but even now, Odin still only has one eye. What does that make you think, everyone?”
