Heroes of Marvel-Chapter 1109: Angry Loki

Swoosh!

“I… am a God of Asgard!!… You insects of Midgard!” Loki, back in midair, fixed his furious gaze on the shrunken Iron Man suit ahead, his voice laced with anger. At this point, he had nearly abandoned his lofty identity as a member of the Asgardian royal family.

“Target locked! Full firepower!” In the face of Loki’s roar, J.A.R.V.I.S. exhibited no reaction, merely locking onto the now-smaller Loki before launching another assault.

Humming!

Boom!

As J.A.R.V.I.S.’s voice echoed within the suit, the enlarged chest cannon on the colossal Iron Man suit’s chest discharged a thigh-thick, brilliant white laser beam after a brief charging period.

Given the laser beam’s velocity at such close range, Loki had no chance to dodge. However, Loki, driven by fury, appeared uninterested in evading.

Despite being subjected to J.A.R.V.I.S.’s devastating barrage moments ago, he still retained his rationality. As the energy response emanated from the chest of the colossal Iron Man suit, Loki’s eyes flickered, and he swung his right hand.

Whoosh!

As the searing laser beam hurtled toward Loki, a shadow shot rapidly from Loki’s previously empty hand. In slow-motion, one could observe that this shadow was none other than a silver short blade, resembling a dagger.

The speed at which this dagger was launched was nearly on par with that of the laser beam, and in an instant, both collided.

Sizzle, Sizzle, Sizzle!

In a typical scenario, a seemingly ordinary small knife like this one would have instantly melted away under the force of such a high-powered laser beam. However, reality proved quite different.

After the dazzling laser beam made contact with Loki’s blade, which had intercepted it head-on, the energy beam composed entirely of pure energy appeared to split open like flowing water, dividing into two miraculous streams and shooting in opposite directions.

The split laser beams, cut by Loki’s extraordinary knife, whizzed past Loki on either side, vanishing into the endless expanse of the Sahara Desert.

Meanwhile, Loki remained coldly focused on his blade, which continued to cleave through the laser beam, heading straight for the colossal Iron Man suit behind him. If this pattern persisted, the blade could indeed slice through the chest plate’s energy reactor.

While the Iron Man suit boasted multiple energy reactors apart from the one in its chest, destroying even one would certainly deal a considerable blow. Therefore, as Loki’s miraculous blade cleaved the laser beam, J.A.R.V.I.S. quickly responded.

Amidst a series of rapid clicking noises, the chest plate of the colossal Iron Man suit rapidly transformed, resulting in two layers of alloy plates interposing themselves before its chest.

Whoosh!

Just as the dual-layer defense alloy plates materialized, and the laser beam came to a halt, the shadowy projectile was already upon them.

Thud! In a single motion, the incredibly fast-moving shadow plunged directly into the thick alloy plates, disappearing from view. In the next moment, the shadow emerged from the back of the colossal Iron Man suit.

Astonishingly, the two additional layers of impromptu defense conjured by J.A.R.V.I.S. proved incapable of stopping this silver short blade in the slightest. Thus, the suit that could withstand countless heavy firepower assaults was impaled by a simple dagger.

Whoosh!

The silver dagger, having pierced through the Iron Man suit, quickly traced a circle behind the suit before speeding back to Loki’s side, where he gently raised his right hand to grasp it.

However, Loki’s expression hadn’t improved much. Despite his recent attack managing to shatter the immensely powerful laser beam and even penetrating the colossal Iron Man suit, Loki sensed no sign of life from within the pierced armor.

In essence, this colossal entity was nothing more than a pure weapon. Even if Loki were to break it into pieces, it wouldn’t pose the slightest threat to those attacking it. This realization fueled Loki’s anger even more. He had actually suffered a disadvantage at the hands of an empty shell!

“Very well!! Truly fantastic! I, a God, not only face disdain in this wretched realm of Midgard but now I’m also being outwitted by an empty husk!” Loki, retrieving his dagger, seemed utterly flabbergasted. He gazed at the motionless Iron Man suit before him and burst into mocking laughter.

Drip, Drip, Drip!

Just as Loki finished speaking, the two layers of alloy plates in front of the Iron Man suit’s chest, pierced by the silver dagger, emitted a faint sound of cracking. In the center of the chest, an almost imperceptible tiny crack emerged.

Moreover, within these alloy layers, the glow from the energy reactor nestled in the Iron Man suit’s chest dimmed after a few blinks.

Evidently, Loki’s recent action had indeed resulted in the destruction of the energy reactor within the Iron Man suit’s chest. However, given Tony’s upgrades to the Iron Man suit, even the destruction of this chest reactor wouldn’t deal a lethal blow to the suit.

Moreover, under J.A.R.V.I.S.’s swift reaction, the energy reactor, displaying signs of an impending explosion, stabilized quite rapidly.

“Unable to assess attack method, energy attack effects unknown, altering strategy.” Although Loki’s silver dagger had penetrated the Iron Man suit directly, the Advanced AI, J.A.R.V.I.S., displayed not the slightest trace of fear. After quick calculations and judgments, it opted for an alternative combat approach.

Swish! Swish!

Hence, just as Loki erupted into laughter and fury, the colossal Iron Man suit across from him swung both its robust arms outwards. In response, two cold-glinting alloy longswords materialized in the Iron Man suit’s hands.

Pu!

As the dual blades appeared in its hands, Iron Man suit’s jet thrusters on its back and feet surged in power. In the next instant, the suit vanished from its original position, hurtling towards Loki.

After Loki easily neutralized and countered the laser beam attack, J.A.R.V.I.S. astonishingly chose to engage Loki in close combat, abandoning its inherent ranged firepower advantage in favor of using cold weaponry!

Confronted with the seemingly unscathed colossal Iron Man suit charging at him, Loki’s brow furrowed in irritation. As a noble sorcerer, Loki despised close combat, especially against such an empty weapon shell.

However, with his illusion magic rendered ineffective, Loki had been forced into this situation. In the following moment, Loki’s dagger vanished from his grip, yet his right hand still extended forward.

Exhale!

As the gargantuan Iron Man suit bore down on him, refusing to evade, the staff he had been unexpectedly disarmed of moments ago magically returned to his hand. Just before the Iron Man suit collided with Loki, the staff had returned to its rightful place.

Swoosh, swoosh!

The instant the staff returned to Loki’s grasp, the Iron Man suit before him swung its arms, crossed, in a cleaving motion toward him.

Boom!
