Chapitre 45: Chapter 41. Loki's Arrival (Part 2)
"Watch your tongue, mortal of Midgard. I am now the King of Asgard, which means I am your king as well," Loki pulled out a dagger, holding it at the ready.
"People don't need such feudal relics, and I don't consider you worthy of the Asgardian crown. In my opinion, your brother is a better fit," Noah replied, knowing that the comparison with Thor would enrage Loki.
As expected, Loki's face twisted with fury, but then he smirked.
"You will see soon enough if I am worthy," he said, casting a green flash toward Noah.
However, the effect Loki expected did not occur. The dagger was stopped, caught between Noah's fingers.
Noah dropped the dagger to the ground and, looking at Loki with a mocking smile, said, "Is that all?"
"I see you're no ordinary mortal," Loki smirked back. Green magic gleamed in his hands as he fired two magical blasts toward Noah.
Noah stretched out his hand, and the magical blasts halted in midair before him. Clenching his fist, he dissipated the magic, letting it fade into the wind. He didn't lower his hand, bending his ring and pinky fingers while extending his index and middle fingers forward. With a motion, two blades of wind sliced through the air toward Loki.
Loki's face contorted, but he managed to shift out of the way, narrowly dodging the attack. The wind cut through iron bars, leaving clean, sharp edges, causing nearby agents to alert others over the radio.
Realizing that his surprise attack had failed, Loki understood that this opponent was no simple man. With a smirk, he said:
"Impressive, mortal. If you kneel before me now, I may show mercy and spare you."
Loki raised his hands, looking at Noah with arrogance. At the same time, the shadows from the buildings behind Noah began to shift, forming silhouettes of Loki quietly creeping toward him.
"Boom!"
A loud thud echoed as Noah's magic spread into the ground, kicking up dust and scattering the shadows.
"Is that all you can do, King of Asgard? Cheap tricks?" Noah said, breaking Loki's spell. He then drew an electric blade, known as Statikk Shiv.
Noah raised the blade, pointing it forward. Lightning surged from the weapon, striking Loki, causing him to convulse and shimmer with electric sparks.
The lightning didn't last long, its power dampened by Loki's magic and resilience, as well as Noah holding back his full strength.
"Damn you! How dare you attack me with lightning!" Loki roared as he regained his composure. He was enraged, as he despised lightning above all else. Such an insult was unforgivable for the great king of Asgard!
Loki altered his form, creating nine clones. The area became crowded with so many Lokis.
"Now, mortal, how will you handle this? Can you tell which one is real?" All nine Lokis approached Noah, brandishing magical daggers.
Noah stepped back, avoiding the strike of one Loki, and directed his blade at one of the duplicates. It vanished. He then conjured a protective shield (Resolve Rune) to block the blows of two other Lokis. He quickly realized that Loki's clones could deal damage, indicating they were somewhat real.
The remaining Lokis threw their daggers at Noah and immediately summoned new ones, continuing the assault. The daggers, laced with green magic, flew at Noah with tremendous speed. But Noah summoned a magical whirlwind (Yasuo's Wind Wall), surrounding himself and deflecting the daggers. The whirlwind then dissipated, transforming into cutting blades, destroying all of Loki's clones.
The field returned to its former quiet state, with only one Loki standing opposite Noah.
"For a mortal, your strength is impressive," Loki, standing still, applauded, smiling.
"And for a god, your power is underwhelming…" Noah began to respond, but then caught Loki's hand as the trickster tried to strike from behind.
The Loki in front of him vanished, and the real Loki appeared behind Noah, his face twisted with rage as he tried to free his hand.
"These are your tricks, God of Mischief? They seem like childish pranks," Noah held Loki's hand firmly. From the beginning, Loki hadn't been able to hide from him. His powerful magic allowed him to sense Loki's presence all along, and he had been toying with him the entire time.
"Let go, mortal! You insult a god!" Loki struggled to break free, using the strength of his Frost Giant blood, but to no avail. Even Captain America couldn't compare to Loki's strength, but Noah, empowered by the Resolve Rune, was even stronger.
"A god? Such a weak god. Now, let's see how you like your favorite electric therapy," Noah raised his hand holding the Statikk Shiv, and the sky clouded over again. Thunder rumbled as a storm front, conjured by Noah's magic, gathered above them.
Loki's face twisted in terror as he sensed the deadly threat of the incoming lightning. His body tensed, instincts screaming of danger. Desperate to escape, he used telekinesis and the strength of his Frost Giant heritage, but it was all in vain. As the lightning was about to strike, Loki shouted:
"Heimdall!"
Far away in Asgard, Heimdall had been carefully observing everything. At first, he had been watching Thor's movements, but then he noticed Loki. This puzzled him, as Loki hadn't requested the activation of the Bifrost to travel to Earth. How had he gotten there? Heimdall remembered the Frost Giants who had breached Asgard under mysterious circumstances.
There was no time to ponder further. As the rightful King of Asgard, Loki could not be allowed to perish on Earth. Heimdall activated the Bifrost, and a brilliant light shot toward Earth.
Noah sensed the approaching power and released Loki, shifting aside with the help of Flash.
Just as Noah moved away, the sky erupted with a bright, seven-colored light that descended upon Loki. When Coulson and the agents finally arrived, they saw only the fading remnants of the rainbow light and the disappearing traces of magic.
