American comics start with asking Iron Man a question.

Although the limited information prevents us from drawing a definitive conclusion, at least there are clues to follow.

Loki's decision to invade Earth was likely due to his failure to seize the throne in Asgard, leading him to target Earth as a means of venting his frustration.

Thinking about this, a certain idea in Nick Fury's mind became even more resolute.

Earth is still too weak.

Even a dispute between princes of the divine realm, so small as to be so weak, could bring about the destruction of Earth!

This situation must be broken!

"I have seen worlds you have never seen. During my exile, Heaven saw the true power of the Rubik's Cube! When I master it..."

Loki's voice continued, and he began to sound triumphant.

"Who showed you this? Who's behind it all?" Thor asked Loki with a serious expression.

"I am the king!" Loki roared excitedly.

"Stop dreaming! Hand over the Tesseract and abandon these ridiculous dreams!" Thor yelled at Loki.

“It’s not with me.” Loki shook his head. “You need the Rubik’s Cube to take me back, but it’s gone, and I don’t know where it is.”

"Listen to me, little brother!" Thor pointed at Loki with a serious expression, "I..."

Whoosh!

But before Lei Shenhua could finish speaking, several dazzling lights pierced the dark night sky, streaking across the sky like shooting stars.

Iron Man flew over from a distance, tackled Thor, and sent him flying.

The two of them fell from the mountainside to the bottom of the cliff.

"Try touching me again!" Thor got up from the ground and glared at Iron Man.

"Then don't touch my stuff!" Iron Man wasn't intimidated at all.

Everyone knows who this "thing" is referring to; it's clearly the prisoner of war, Loki.

A god from Asgard, whom Iron Man calls "something"?

This arrogance and haughtiness are very much like Iron Man's.

"Do you know who you're talking to?" Thor was furious.

"Uh...a stage actor? Does your mother know you stole her shawl?" Iron Man said sarcastically.

Nick Fury and Black Widow couldn't help but shake their heads repeatedly, utterly speechless. Iron Man, are you sure you're not here to cause trouble?

They figured that even if they were put in Thor's position, they wouldn't be able to resist wanting to punch Iron Man.

"Sir, I'm starting to think that letting Stark join the Avengers might have been a mistake?" Black Widow couldn't help but tease.

"Am I wrong? Doesn't he look like a stage actor?" Iron Man shrugged, looking completely unconcerned.

"Mind your own business, Iron Man!" Thor said sternly to Iron Man. "Loki will be judged by Asgard!"

"As long as he hands over the Rubik's Cube, you can have whatever you want, but until then, you'd better not get in the way!" After saying these two sentences to Thor, Iron Man turned and left.

Judging from their appearance, they're planning to capture Loki.

But Thor is, after all, a prince of Asgard. How could he possibly tolerate being so harshly criticized by an Earthling?

Moreover, Thor would never allow Iron Man to take Loki away right under his nose.

He swung the hammer directly at Iron Man, smashing him away with a bang.

"Ok!"

Even the arrogant Iron Man wouldn't just sit idly by after being hit. He unleashed an energy shockwave from his palm, striking Thor directly.

Thor was also blasted away and crashed hard into a big tree.

Then Iron Man suddenly leaped into the air and kicked Thor, sending him flying and snapping a large tree behind him in half.

Such an attack would have killed most people instantly, but Thor was completely unaffected and unharmed.

He nonchalantly got up and began a fierce battle with Iron Man.

Thor's power was undeniably revealed during this process.

He was able to fight the Iron Man suit hand-to-hand with his bare hands, deforming the Iron Man suit's arm with his bare hands and smashing a large dent into the Iron Man suit's helmet with his head.

He can also summon lightning with his hammer at will, controlling the lightning to attack Iron Man.

Incredibly powerful.

"Is this Thor? He truly lives up to his reputation as a being from Asgard." Black Widow was completely stunned; she had never seen anyone so powerful before.

“It is very impressive.” Nick Fury nodded, but his expression remained unchanged. “But I have seen even more impressive ones.”

Thor is powerful, that's for sure, but he's still far behind Captain Marvel.

"He was able to fight me on equal terms, which isn't bad," Iron Man also gave a high evaluation.

Indeed, when Iron Man says something like "not too bad," it's definitely a high compliment.

Boom boom boom!

Bang bang bang!

Iron Man and Thor fought their battle from the ground to the sky, and then over mountains—it was incredibly intense and spectacular.

However, just as the two were locked in fierce combat, a shield flew over from the side and struck both Thor and Iron Man, separating them.

Then, like Thor's hammer, the shield, after such a complex turn, actually flew back on its own.

The laws of physics seem to not exist.

It was grabbed by someone.

But then they saw Captain America standing high up on a tree branch, looking down at them.

"That's enough, both of you! Stop it!"

Captain America spoke to Thor and the other man, then jumped down from the high tree branch.

He walked up to the two men, gazed at Thor, and asked in a deep voice, "What is your purpose in coming here?"

"I'm here to stop Loki's plot!" Thor said in a deep voice.

"Then prove it to me! Put down your hammer!" Captain America said to Thor.

"That's not a good idea, he loves his hammer so much..." Even at this point, Iron Man was still being irreverent, complaining from the side.

boom!

But before he could finish speaking, Iron Man was smashed away by Thor's hammer.

"You want me to put down my hammer?"

Thor also seemed to have a fiery temper. He glared at Captain America, leaped several meters into the air, and slammed down on Captain America's head.

Captain America, however, swung his shield upwards at the crucial moment, directly blocking Thor's hammer.

when!

A deep, resonant metallic sound lingered, and a terrifying energy suddenly erupted.

Thor was immediately thrown away, and swathes of trees around him were knocked down by the energy shock.

A flat area had been cleared out of the woods.

This shows how terrifying that power was.

"Have you all had enough?" Captain America said after the group struggled to their feet.

The group looked at each other and agreed to a temporary truce.

The scene ends here.

Chapter 042 This is an interstellar feud

"Alright, let's analyze the video we just watched."

After the analysis finished playing, everyone looked away. Nick Fury then spoke to Iron Man and Black Widow.

Before the two could speak, Nick Fury took the initiative to summarize.

"I think a question that we've been concerned about for a long time—Loki's motivation for invading Earth in alliance with the Chitauri—has been resolved, at least to some extent."

"Before Thor came to Earth, he thought Loki was dead and the Bifrost in Asgard was broken. Based on this, it can be inferred that a war must have broken out in Asgard."

"Loki must have been involved in this war."

"And Loki keeps saying that he should have been king, so could this war be a war between Loki and Thor for the throne?"

"Loki lost in this war, and he came to rule the Earth to 'satisfy his inferiority complex'?"

Black Widow and Iron Man both nodded; judging from the visuals, it was indeed very likely that this was the case.

"In any case, Loki's invasion of Earth should be seen as a continuation of the feud between Asgard and the Realm of Gods," Black Widow declared definitively.

"The only good news is that we can confirm Thor's attitude towards Earth," Nick Fury shrugged. "It seems that this Thor really likes Earth."

“And… Thor looks much more powerful than Loki,” Black Widow added.

The battle between Loki and Thor has been shown to everyone. Although Loki's performance was somewhat underwhelming, Thor's power still left a very deep impression on everyone.

With physical strength comparable to steel armor, the ability to fly, and the power to control lightning... it certainly meets everyone's expectations of a god.

In terms of expressiveness, Loki is indeed a bit weaker.

This can also be seen from Loki's failure to seize the throne.

“He’s probably much dumber too,” Iron Man added casually. “Thor looks like the kind of guy who’s all brawn and no brains.”

Nick Fury: "..."

Black Widow: "..."

What should we do if they feel the same way?
