Marvel's Venom, starting with a Hydra undercover agent.

“From childhood to adulthood, Odin has never treated me as his son. He only cares about you and only cares about you.”

“I grew up in your shadow, and I will never forget that you were the one who threw me into the abyss.”

"I should be the king! I should have been the king! I am more suited to be king than you!!!"

“But Odin, you only ever see yourself, only that muscle-bound guy! He never acknowledges my efforts! Everything I’ve done!”

"Family?! To hell with them!"

Loki spoke louder and louder until he was even roaring.

"Since he's unwilling to admit it, then I'll fight for it myself. I'm going to be a true king! This earth is mine!"

"It is an honor for the people of Earth to be ruled by a god. They should feel happy because they will be bathed in the glory of the god!" Loki turned around and said loudly to Thor.

"How could you have become like this?" Thor was clearly unable to accept Loki's declaration.

He couldn't understand why, in such a short time, his younger brother, who was originally a bit mischievous but still very dear to him, had become someone he barely recognized.

"You can't conquer the Earth with these methods; you'll only bring fear and bloodshed." Thor disagreed with Loki's views.

Hearing Thor's naive words, Loki scoffed disdainfully, "You really are brainless."

"Who told you these things? Odin? Do you know what kind of person he used to be?"

"Why do you think Asgard is responsible for maintaining peace in the Nine Realms? Do you think Asgard wins over its enemies with love?"

"You are Thor! The Thor who conquers the Nine Realms and upholds the glory of Asgard!"

"To be honest, I prefer your brave and courageous self to your current cowardly and soft-hearted state. Although you weren't very bright, at least you were straightforward when you killed people."

Thor was completely outmaneuvered in his argument with Loki; his already limited mind was now even more unable to process what he was saying.

Seeing Loki's righteous indignation and unrepentant attitude, Thor, wielding his hammer, said sternly with some reluctance, "Since you are so stubborn, I will have no choice but to use some harsher methods."

“A tough approach? Don’t be ridiculous.” Loki said, gesturing for Thor to look around.

"This isn't Asgard. Shouldn't you ask the Earthlings for their opinion before you make a move?"

Two jet-black Quinjet fighters flew rapidly towards them and stopped in mid-air not far away, their guns and weapons all poised to fire, posing a menacing threat.

“Thor, we’ve been in contact before. I believe you have a friendly attitude towards Earth, and we have no ill intentions towards you. So please lay down your weapons and cooperate with us in our investigation at S.H.I.E.L.D.,” Coulson said to Thor over the radio.

Upon hearing Coulson's broadcast, Thor paused for a moment, then continued waving his hammer and said, "I know I have no ill intentions towards Earth, but Loki is my brother. I will handle this matter. You should just stay away."

Clearly, although he held a friendly attitude towards Earth, he still considered Loki to be part of Asgard and that it was up to him to deal with him.

In short, Thor's attitude towards Earth is friendly, but he doesn't really respect Earth's sovereignty, or rather, he does respect it, but only to a certain extent.

Asgard is the ruler of the Nine Realms, so Earth is also under Asgard's jurisdiction. They had contact in ancient times, and Asgard even fought the Frost Giants on Earth, which is why there are myths and legends about Loki, Odin, and Thor on Earth.

Chapter 300, This is Earth

"My foolish brother, you're still so rude. This is Earth, after all. They've already spoken, how can you be so disrespectful of their opinions?" Loki said to Thor with a sarcastic smile.

His purpose in saying this was all too obvious, and he made no attempt to conceal it; even Thor understood it instantly.

But while he understood, Thor didn't think there was anything wrong with his actions. As he had said before, he was the God of Thunder of Asgard, and Earth was one of the Nine Realms that Asgard considered to be under its jurisdiction. Loki's affairs were Odin's family matters and no one else needed to interfere.

"Stop showing off your words. I was going to go easy on you, but now you'd better be prepared," Thor said, swinging Mjolnir.

Seeing the scene before him, Loki glanced at the Quinjet, which remained unmoved and silent, and then dark green magical energy surged from his body.

As soon as Thor finished speaking, he immediately swung Mjolnir and charged towards Loki.

Blue arcs of electricity danced in the dim night sky, more dazzling than the occasional glimpse of moonlight.

Clusters of dark clouds gathered together, blocking out the remaining moonlight. As Thor's hammer was summoned, several huge arcs of electricity shot out from the clouds and blasted towards Loki.

Loki dodged and weaved, transforming into wisps of green mist as he skillfully evaded the lightning strikes.

At this moment, Coulson, aboard the Quinjet, turned to look at Holm, who was calmly watching the scene unfold, and said, "Do we need to do something? Although his words are indeed meant to sow discord, this is Earth after all."

Coulson's words made Rogers and Daisy turn to look at Holm as well, as they also had different opinions about the current situation.

Rogers, being more old-fashioned, leaned towards Coulson's idea, believing that this was, after all, Earth, and that Thor and Loki's behavior was indeed somewhat disrespectful to Earth, so they should at least show some remorse.

Daisy's thinking was simpler; she thought either approach was acceptable, and the most important thing was to see what Holm ultimately chose.

Sensing their gazes, Holm glanced at them, then waved his hand and said, "It's alright, let them fight if they want to. We'll clean up the mess after they're done, and teach them a lesson then. It's the same thing."

"If we don't let them release all their energy, what if they start making a fuss again later? If we're going to do it, we'll do it right the first time."

Upon hearing Holm's reply, Coulson and Daisy both laughed. Holm certainly had the ability to say that. Although they had never seen him fight these Asgardians before, since he was able to take down Loki today, he should be able to handle it without any problems.

Rogers was speechless upon hearing this, because he often heard others say the same thing during their morning workouts, except that the object of their words was not a person, but an energetic dog. Holm's actions truly resembled walking a dog.

Thinking of this, Rogers glanced at Holm again, but seeing that the other was still leisurely watching the show, he could only smile and remain silent.

Since the director had spoken, they could only do as Holm had said: wait for the two of them to release their energy, and they would eventually tire themselves out.

Anyway, there's no one in the forest around here, so I'm not afraid that innocent people will be harmed.

They were just watching the show, observing how these two self-proclaimed gods would fight, and gathering intelligence to better prepare for what was to come.

Under the night sky, thunder roared and unleashed its power at Thor's command, while Loki dodged and weaved, giving Thor no chance.

As Loki dodged, he cursed Holm inwardly, unable to understand how these Earthlings could be so tasteless.

He's already said all that, so why are these people still unmoved?

Don't they have any dignity? They just let the two of them fight like that.

Damn it, it's all because this is a forest with hardly anyone around. If the battlefield were in a city, Hom and the others definitely wouldn't be as safe as they are now.

He should have been the one to reap the benefits, watching Thor and the Earth faction argue and fight. But now, he's become the fighter, while the Earth faction is just watching the show.

Weak and cunning Earthlings, not tough at all, pshaw!

"Enough! Thor! I can admit defeat and go back to Asgard with you, as long as you take care of these Earthlings." Loki roared at Thor, a flash of lightning passing through his eyes.

He was already exhausted. The battle with Holm had drained his strength, and he was now barely holding on. Even his robes were scorched by Thor's lightning.

Upon hearing Loki's shout, Thor stopped what he was doing, jumped in front of Loki, and tried to take him away by lifting his clothes.

"If you dare lie to me, I'll throw you back here again." Thor said, swinging Mjolnir as he prepared to take off.

Just as he was about to throw the hammer and let it carry him away, a deep blue energy fell from the sky and struck Thor's hammer directly, interrupting Thor's movement.

"Ha! You come and go as you please? Sorry, Loki, you can't take him with you now." Under the hazy moonlight, Holm held his scepter and spoke coldly to Thor and Loki below.

Loki is indeed quick-witted; with just a casual promise, he put Thor and Earth at odds again.

Looks like there's no chance to watch the show anymore; it's their turn to take the stage.

Upon hearing Holm's words, Thor retorted sharply, "Loki is my brother, Odin's son, and the prince of Asgard. His affairs should be resolved by me."

"I know he has designs on Earth, but that's enough. He will receive a fair trial after returning to Asgard..."

"Shh!" Before Thor could finish speaking, Holm put a finger to his lips to silence him.

"Although he hasn't had time to do anything yet, it's only because I'm here. I need time to figure out if he has any other plans, so as to avoid any other problems."

"He needs to be placed under our custody and interrogation until we confirm that his threat to Earth has been eliminated."

Hearing Holm's words, Thor looked at him solemnly, his eyes filled with authority, and said again, "I said, he is the prince of Asgard, he is Odin's son, he..."

"Enough!" Before Thor could finish speaking, Holm interrupted him with a frown. "I don't want to hear that stupid title again. I don't care whose son he is, this is Earth!"

Chapter 301, Let's See the Strength

Hearing Holm's blunt words, Thor grinned. He was indeed kind to Earth, but he was even more determined to uphold the honor of Asgard.

“I understand what you mean,” Thor said, swinging his hammer again. “Let me see if you have the strength to back up your demands.”

A thunderbolt even more violent than before descended from the sky, carrying a chilling and majestic aura.

Seeing Thor poised to attack, Holm also released black venom, enveloping him and instantly entering battle mode.

"I will leave you with an unforgettable memory," Holm said in a hoarse voice.

The next second, a bolt of deep blue lightning shot directly toward Holm as Thor swung his hammer.

The scepter in Holm's hand was now coated in venom, turning it black and gold, a far cry from its previous opulence, now exuding an eeriness and a chilling aura.

An energy cannon shot out from the gem at the top, meeting and dissipating with Thor's lightning in mid-air.

While blocking the lightning, Holm quickly moved behind Thor and swung his scepter, which had transformed into a greatsword, straight at Thor's neck.

The broad, black blade, like a ferocious beast, lunged straight for Thor's neck.

Seeing this, Thor quickly crouched down, letting the blade glide over his head, and then swung his hammer at Holm's abdomen.

Upon seeing this attack, Holm did not retreat but instead met it head-on, letting the hammer smash into his abdomen.

This frank and unusual attitude left Saul somewhat bewildered, but it wasn't long before he fully experienced what it meant to be treacherous in society.

His hammer, crackling with lightning and immense force, should have sent Holm flying, but upon contact with Holm's body, it vanished without a trace, its wrist encased and immobilized by a thick, black liquid.

I pierced his body! No! It was his body that bit my hand and the hammer!

This was the first time Thor, a veteran of countless battles, had encountered such a situation, and his eyes widened in surprise. For a moment, he thought he had smashed through his opponent's body, but he quickly realized that this was a characteristic of his opponent and hurriedly pulled his hand away forcefully.

"How could I let you escape so easily? You're so powerful that even I'm a little numb from the shock." Venom emerged from Holm's shoulder and spoke to Thor, causing Thor's eyes, which had just returned to normal, to widen again.

At the same time, the venom that emerged also split open a huge mouth full of sharp teeth. This huge mouth curled up with an evil smile, looking extremely terrifying.

"What is this thing..." Thor was still amazed by the existence of Venom when, in the next second, Holm grabbed him by the neck, slammed him into the ground.

Loki, who was standing nearby, clenched his fist secretly after seeing this scene. That's it, let Thor taste the same kind of beating he just got.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" Holm mercilessly lifted Thor up and slammed him down. At the same time, venom gripped Thor's right hand and hammer tightly in his abdomen, giving him no chance to pull his hand out and fight back.

On the Quinjet in mid-air, Coulson and his companions looked at the situation below, each with their own thoughts.

Daisy was confident in Holm's abilities, so she wasn't too surprised to see this situation; in fact, she felt quite relieved.

Coulson was slightly surprised and moved. Holm had dealt with many troublesome opponents before, such as the previous beating of the Abomination, so he was not surprised by the violent scene below.

He just hadn't expected Holm's strength to seem to have improved again. They had just witnessed the power of that Thor; the sky full of lightning did inspire awe and fear. But even such a powerful god was still being beaten down.

The person most shocked was Rogers, a veteran in his nineties who had just been revived. In his time, he was already among the top combatants in human history.

When he woke up after sleeping for seventy years, he hadn't even adapted to the rapid progress of science and society when gods from mythology appeared before him, displaying an unparalleled demeanor that he had never dared to imagine.
