The sky was still raining, and Arthur was clapping his hands with a sense of unique pleasure under the rain.
The Eye of Horus was quietly in operation, observing Thor's situation…
Since Odin had once intimidated him with sheer force, Arthur had noticed that his manipulation of colorless energy had become increasingly proficient.
Not only could he project it outward to create something like an umbrella to keep himself from getting drenched, but he could also use it to intimidate people… like that sudden "Moon-Fang Heaven Piercer (Getsuga Tenshō)."
Of course, these were just Arthur's own experiments. The so-called "Moon-Fang Heaven Piercer (Getsuga Tenshō)" had no real harm and was merely a bit of a bluff.
However, the application of The Eye of Horus had reached further limits. At a distance of about five hundred meters from Thor, using The Eye of Horus was effortless.
With nearly four hundred colorless small crystals, it was worth capturing for a while.
But the significant haul from the green items reminded Arthur of the weapons he had retrieved from Yondu's warehouse.
At the time, he prioritized Disassembling purple items. The guns tagged as "green" were only collected without being Disassembled.
Later, when the purple items were not yet Disassembled and the Disassembler had upgraded, these green items hadn't had their turn… Arthur thought he might as well Disassemble these items when he had the chance.
During his time back on Earth, it seemed unlikely that there would be much more to gain.
Purple items would probably need to be searched for in space.
He had left too quickly before, without much preparation.
But after finishing up the unfinished tasks on Earth, he could plan another trip to space.
Perhaps he could indulge in some smashing and grabbing…
"Hopefully, Odin will let me use their Bifrost then."
Arthur mused, having heard that this device could send someone to any corner of the universe— whether it was true or just hype remained to be seen.
As he was thinking about this, a new figure appeared in The Eye of Horus.
Standing before Thor was a young man in a suit and scarf, who had suddenly materialized with no warning.
"Loki…"
Arthur's clapping slowed down as he considered the situation.
After observing for a while, Arthur saw that Loki was only talking and not taking any action, which relieved him.
These two brothers had a tumultuous relationship, from Thor's first film to Avengers: Infinity War, full of complex emotions.
Honestly, Arthur wasn't too worried about Loki killing Thor right now. It didn't fit Loki's character…
And deep down, Arthur always felt that Loki had never truly intended to kill Thor… perhaps that was true love!
After a moment of mental commentary, the brothers finished their conversation.
Thor was tearful, looking very sad.
Arthur used The Eye of Horus to locate Loki, finding him attempting to lift Mjolnir.
However, like Arthur, Loki found Mjolnir unmoving.
"Tsk, tsk…"
Arthur shook his head and looked up to see a young man in a suit standing in front of him: "A marvelous gaze, an interesting spell I've never seen before. What is this?"
After a brief pause, Arthur asked, "Is this… your real self, or a clone?"
"What does it matter?" Loki maintained a smile: "I mean you no harm."
"Then tell me, if I were to attack you now, would you be able to retaliate?"
"Mortal… do not press your luck!" Loki's expression darkened.
Arthur grinned: "It seems you can't resist!"
Loki took a deep breath and looked at Arthur calmly: "I know why you are here. You and my father… had a pact!"
Arthur had already drawn a pistol, but after thinking it over, he decided the noise would be too loud and switched to the two-handed sword.
Loki's eyelids twitched as he frowned and said, "I believe we could also make a pact— a pact that would grant you even more."
Arthur looked up at Loki and said with a smile, "That's tempting. So, you have three seconds to speak."
"You!"
"One second!" Arthur held up a finger.
"All you need to do is let my brother, stay on Earth forever…"
Arthur clicked his finger again: "Two seconds…"
"The Divine Weapons from the Asgardian vault, you can choose five!"
Before Loki could finish, Arthur suddenly lunged forward, swinging his large sword with a gust of wind, heading straight for Loki.
"You dare!!!!" Loki roared in anger!
Thunder seemed to rumble overhead, and a heavy pressure descended instantly!
However, as the sword's edge passed, everything was split in two, including Loki's form… but the next moment, Arthur suddenly felt a void in his hand. The once-hard, cold sword hilt had turned greasy and slippery. He looked over in shock to find that the two-handed sword had transformed into a viper, hissing and trying to bite his hand!
In his moment of surprise, Arthur focused his mind, and the colorless energy flowed, causing the snake to turn back into the two-handed sword!
"Interesting!"
Arthur looked up sharply and saw Loki, who had just been split in two, standing there again: "What kind of magic is this?"
"Why don't we exchange? You tell me yours, and I'll tell you mine!"
"My mother told me not to trust strangers…"
As the words fell, Arthur's form vanished from the spot, and Loki's figure also disappeared!
Loki was equally elusive…
After three Blinks in quick succession, Arthur sighed and reappeared: "Isn't this just like a broken lightbulb? Is it even interesting?"
"It seems not…"
Loki spoke, suddenly looking up at Arthur with a cunning expression!
In the next second, a mysterious force tried to invade his body. Arthur's expression changed, and with a sweep of his colorless energy, the force was instantly dispelled. He stared at Loki in confusion.
Loki was equally baffled: "What did you do?"
"…I should be asking that question!"
Arthur let out a sigh, and with a thought, The Eye of Horus appeared above him, monitoring in a full 360-degree view!
Loki pondered for a moment, then suddenly looked up at Arthur's head and said with a wry smile: "This is unfair."
"Unfair, you say? You're a god… and I'm a human!" Arthur shrugged and said, "So, this is fair."
"Well, it seems our agreement cannot be fulfilled."
Loki sighed and said: "It's a pity. I hope that when we meet next time, you will make the right choice."
With that, his figure completely vanished.

Capítulo 172: MD-Chapter 171 Can Cars Be Disassembled Now?
The Eye of Horus scanned the surroundings in the void. Once it was confirmed that Loki had truly left, Arthur finally breathed a sigh of relief. The Eye's surveillance ability had always had the power to see through illusions, but without opponents like Loki in the past, that function had remained unused.
It wasn't until Arthur faced Loki that he remembered this particular function of the Eye Of Horus, prompting him to quickly summon the Eye of Horus. The Second Prince of Asgard was no simple opponent— not only could he vaguely sense the presence of the Eye, but he also seemed to understand its capabilities.
As a result, Loki chose not to continue the fight and retreated. After all, he was only a projection, and his means were limited. The Eye of Horus appeared to have a subtle suppressing effect on many of his abilities, making his withdrawal a wise decision.
Still, even with that in mind, Arthur had to admit that this Loki was far stronger than what was portrayed in the movies. His bizarre magic was difficult to defend against. If his real body had been there, Loki's close-combat abilities would likely have been formidable as well.
Although they hadn't engaged in a full fight and despite the fact that the movie wasn't a reliable source of reference, Arthur could tell from Loki's actions that he was certainly both skilled in magic and combat.
"Looks like I'm not the only one in this world who's a master of both magic and combat!" Arthur muttered to himself.
At some point, the rain overhead had stopped, and Arthur began to reflect on the brief confrontation. The fight had been short, and most of their moves were mere tests of each other's abilities.
Arthur hadn't even used his trump cards— like his superhuman strength, energy blasts, or his "Abomination" attack. But considering that Loki was just a projection, Arthur wondered how a fight would play out if Loki's real body was present and he unleashed all his hidden cards.
After pondering for a while, Arthur realized there was no clear answer. The Marvel universe wasn't like cultivation novels where power levels are obvious— where you could say, "I'm at the Nascent Soul stage, and you're at the Core Formation stage," and everyone would know who's stronger.
In Marvel, power wasn't always clearly defined. You might get beaten badly one day, but in another situation, you could rise to victory. A person's combat strength was influenced by their state, mindset, battle spirit, and even their goals.
Every living being had hidden cards to play, especially these gods with unfathomable depths.
Thor, with his straightforward nature, was probably the easiest to gauge. But figures like Odin and Loki? Their strength felt vague, like a mist— you could sense they were powerful, very powerful, but no one could gauge how powerful they exactly were.
If you had the guts, you could try to find out by fighting them. If not, you'd just have to keep guessing…
Arthur sat there, contemplating all of this, then recalled Loki's words to him. He chuckled bitterly. He didn't believe a single word from the God of Mischief— not even a punctuation mark.
Odin, with his status, couldn't afford to lie; his pride wouldn't allow it. But Loki, lying would be a second nature to him. That was as normal as breathing for him. If he ever stopped lying, that would be the real shocker.
Without knowing the truth, it would be easy to be deceived by Loki. But Arthur was always on high alert when dealing with him. This trickster could betray you without a second thought. One moment, he'd be speaking with sincerity, full of emotion and logic, and the next, he'd be selling you out.
Loki's ability to switch goals seamlessly, leaving no trace, was truly something else.
Using the Eye of Horus, Arthur scanned the surroundings again to make sure Loki hadn't returned. After confirming this, he redirected the Eye toward Thor, where he saw Thor being escorted out by Phil Coulson. Standing at the entrance was a middle-aged man, gratefully thanking them.
"Hmm..." Arthur rubbed his nose, realizing that his rainy night adventure was probably coming to an end.
He recalled this scene from the movie— where the middle-aged man pretended that Thor was his colleague, even going so far as to forge credentials. Coulson quickly saw through it but decided to release Thor anyway, assigning surveillance to him.
Classic SHIELD move: let the bait run to catch the big fish. But Coulson probably never imagined that the fish they'd catch wouldn't be human— it would be a god.
As Arthur processed the events in his mind, a slight smile formed on his lips.
...
Two cars left the makeshift SHIELD base. The first belonged to the middle-aged man, and the second to SHIELD. However, the driver of the second car had no idea there was an unexpected guest in the trunk.
Arthur, awkwardly curled up in the back, muttered, "This is really cramped..."
Using the Eye of Horus, he tracked the middle-aged man's car ahead.
That man was no ordinary person either. His name was Erik Selvig, the mentor of Thor's soon-to-be girlfriend and an expert in astrophysics and quantum physics. He was said to have been friends with Banner before the Hulk's emergence caused them to lose contact.
After reviewing the man's background in his mind, Arthur started feeling bored. It looked like he would be stuck in the trunk for the entire journey. He pulled out his phone to pass the time and noticed a few messages from Lily that evening.
She enthusiastically shared details about her dinner, which made Arthur even hungrier. Suddenly, he realized he hadn't eaten all day. Seeing that it was already past midnight, he sent Lily a teasing message reminding her to get up for a midnight bathroom trip.
Then, he tucked his phone into the Disassembler space and began disassembling the green-labeled weapons he had stored there.
As Arthur disassembled, his thoughts wandered. The Disassembler was now at Beginner Level 3, but what would come after that?
"With the higher level, I should be able to disassemble more items, right? But I'll need to experiment to find out... Hmm, I wonder if I could disassemble a car?"
With that thought in mind, Arthur patted the trunk's base. To his surprise...
**[Would you like to disassemble this vehicle (Blue)?]**
"It actually works? I couldn't do this before! What could I get from disassembling a car?"
Arthur blinked in surprise, resisting the urge to disassemble the vehicle. After all, there were still two SHIELD agents sitting in the front. Disassembling the car now? He'd heard of self-driving cars, but driving without a car altogether? That wouldn't end well.
Plus, the car was only of blue quality. The results from disassembling it probably wouldn't be worth much.
"But still, I'm curious— what would I get from disassembling it?"
Arthur blinked again, realizing something else. His pat on the car had been an instinctive move, but the Disassembler was already in operation at the time. Could it be that he could add items to it while it was running?
