American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

"Stark, what's on your mind?" Nick Fury asked, looking at Tony Stark with his one eye.

"I've given you such an obvious warning, and you still haven't thought of it?" Tony Stark shook his head slightly. "Thor's hand!"

"Thor appeared in the Endgame, and his hand was intact!"

After Tony Stark said that, everyone present suddenly understood.

"Thor said that the nine celestial bodies will converge in two or three years, which means Malekith's invasion of Asgard will be in two or three years," Captain America continued, picking up where Tony Stark left off.

"Thor lost his mother in that battle, and given his nature, he couldn't possibly wait long."

"That means Thor will soon go to the underworld to settle scores with Malekith!"

"The final battle, however, will not happen for more than a decade!"

So Thor didn't lose his hand at all!

The question clearly states that Thor's hand was cut off, so why didn't Thor lose his own hand?

The answer has already surfaced.

"This is Loki and Thor putting on an act to deceive Malekith!" Hawkeye Barton's eyes lit up as he gave the answer.

“Well,” Black Widow couldn’t help but chuckle and tease, “it seems Thor has grown up in the future.”

With that, Black Widow glanced at everyone present and asked, "Next, who will answer this question?"

“I’m out!” Tony Stark shook his head first, indicating his refusal. “I don’t really understand what the Sunflower Acupuncture Technique is, but it’s obviously not a technological skill. I’m more interested in technological rewards.”

"'Acupoint striking' and 'Lingbo Weibu'—judging from their names, these should be skills from the Chinese martial arts genre. They must be quite impressive skills!"

Nick Fury glanced at the big screen and noticed something from the naming alone. "Stark, are you sure you're not interested?"

“I think I’ll pass. Whoever is interested can answer.” Tony Stark continued to shake his head.

While skill-based rewards are appealing, their suitability depends on the individual. Based on extensive experience with answering questions, the effectiveness of skill-based rewards varies from person to person.

Characters with superhuman physical abilities, like Captain America and Thor, can use any skill in creative ways.

But for someone with an ordinary physique like him, it's better to forget about it.

It's far less effective than high technology or some rare materials.

After Tony Stark withdrew, only Captain America, Black Widow, and Nick Fury remained unanswered questions.

After a brief discussion, everyone decided that Captain America would answer the question.

Everyone's thinking was similar to Tony Stark's: this kind of reward, which is similar to the Chinese martial arts technique of Lingbo Weibu, would naturally be most valuable if placed in Captain America's hands.

After all, Tony Stark had already told everyone that this thing required physical exertion.

Who on the scene has the stamina to match Captain America?

"I choose B!" Captain America didn't waste any words and immediately gave his answer to the big screen.

[Correct answer!]

[Congratulations to Steve Rogers for winning the reward skill "Sunflower Acupuncture Technique"!]

A cluster of relevant information immediately appeared in Captain America's mind, and a look of great surprise immediately appeared on his face.

“It seems to be a very good skill,” Loki immediately remarked.

"It's not bad at all," Captain America nodded. "It's just a pity it's useless to you."

"Is that so?" Loki raised an eyebrow, a smug look on his face. "Don't be discouraged, after all, I am a god!"

"Captain, what's this skill for?"

Upon hearing that it was useless against Loki, Black Widow couldn't help but ask curiously from the side.

"Simply put, I can freeze you by pressing two acupoints on your body," Captain America explained to Black Widow after a moment's thought.

Because the underlying principles are too complex, involving a vast and profound system of knowledge such as acupoints, qi and blood, and internal energy, Black Widow and her group would not be able to understand them unless they were directly instilled into them like a system.

"Acupoints? What are those?" Nick Fury couldn't help but glance at Captain America with his one eye and ask.

"It is something that exists in the human body, but it only exists in the theory of traditional Chinese medicine and does not exist in the theory of Western medicine."

Captain America said to Nick Fury.

"Freeze people in place? That's practically magic!" Black Widow exclaimed in amazement. It was simply too incredible!

"Let me guess, is this skill like my Lingbo Weibu, which requires internal energy, but you don't have that, so it requires physical energy?"

Although Tony Stark asked a question, his tone was quite certain, after all, he himself was a living example.

“That’s right!” Captain America nodded. “That’s why this skill is basically only effective against ordinary people. It’s not very useful against those with enhanced abilities, and it’s also not very effective against people with strong physical abilities.”

Even so, this skill is still very useful for Captain America.

For example, when he was being beaten up by a group of Hydras inside the Tri-Wing Building, if he had this Sunflower Acupuncture Technique, he wouldn't have had to go through so much trouble.

The problem can be solved by one person clicking a few times.

Of course, what Captain America said is not very useful for those with enhanced abilities, and it is only a general statement. The specifics depend on the actual situation.

Because some enhanced individuals have abnormally strong bodies, they require a lot of Captain America's stamina. When the amount of stamina required reaches a certain level, the cost-effectiveness becomes somewhat low.

For example, when facing true gods like Loki and Thor, Captain America couldn't do anything even after exhausting all his strength.

In short, it cannot be generalized.

Overall, however, this skill is indeed a very good skill.

Chapter 171 Loki: I was killed while saving Thor!?

[The quiz is complete. Answer explanations will now be played!]

Shortly after, a system notification sounded, and a related video began to play on the big screen.

shhhhhh!

Intense artillery fire continued to rain down from all directions, relentlessly bombarding one of the spaceships.

The opening scene was clearly an aerial chase.

"This is...Asgard?"

Loki's pupils contracted slightly, and a solemn expression appeared on his face. Could it be that Asgard had been invaded?

Because that spaceship that was wreaking havoc in the skies above Asgard was not an Asgardian spaceship at all!

"It's a Dark Elf spaceship!"

Captain America couldn't help but speak in a deep voice.

They had all seen footage of the Dark Elves invading Asgard, so they recognized the spaceship immediately.

"Dark Elves? So they really are running rampant in Asgard!" Loki's face began to darken slightly.

Despite knowing his true identity, Loki has always believed himself to be Odin's son and a citizen of Asgard!

Seeing Asgard being invaded by the dark elves in the future fills him with rage.

shhhhhh!

The "defense cannons" erected on the walls of Asgard continuously fired at the dark elf's spaceship.

Not only that, but Asgardian ships also came out in pursuit, constantly firing at it.

But what no one expected was that the scene would switch to reveal the person piloting the Dark Elf spaceship.

That was none other than Thor!

Standing right next to Thor was Loki!

"This is fantastic, absolutely amazing!" Loki stood beside Thor, taunting him repeatedly. "Why don't we just steal the biggest and most conspicuous spaceship in the universe! Then we can escape in it!"

"We drove it all over town, crashing into everything in sight, making sure everyone saw us! Thor was so clever!"

With Loki's two sentences, everyone roughly understood what had happened in Asgard.

It is clear that Thor, for some unknown reason, intends to flee Asgard.

However, their escape was too high-profile; they drove their dark elf spaceship recklessly, drawing a barrage of taunts from Loki.

"Thor, haha!"

Loki, watching from the screen, also wore a mocking expression. "When will he ever learn to use his brain?"

On the screen, Thor, seemingly unable to bear Loki's incessant chatter any longer, punched Loki off the spaceship.

This surprised Loki and everyone else present, because Loki was killed after just a few words of chatter.

This is not like Thor at all!

really.

The next moment, Thor picked up a girl who was unconscious on the spaceship and then jumped off the spaceship himself.

Meanwhile, on the river below, another small Asgardian spaceship caught Thor safely.

Clearly, this is Thor's plan.

That conspicuous dark elf ship was merely a way for him to draw Asgard's attention.

This spaceship is what Thor actually uses to escape.

"Surprisingly," Loki said, slightly surprised. "Thor has actually started using his brain!"

"Hehehe!" A loud laugh came from the screen, and a man in full armor stood on the spaceship, laughing at Loki who had fallen onto the spaceship, "After being locked up in the prison for so long, you are still so elegant, Loki!"

“You lied to me, that’s pretty impressive.” Loki ignored the armored man and looked at Thor with surprise.

His expression was almost identical to Loki's on screen.

“As long as you’re satisfied.” Thor said to Loki without turning his head, while taking care of Jane Foster. “Keep your promise and take us to the secret passage you mentioned.”

—Yes, the woman Thor brought with him was Jane Foster.

Loki didn't say much and began to take control of the spaceship himself. During this process, the shackles on Loki's hands were revealed to everyone.

Loki was actually handcuffed!
