Loki's face instantly turned ashen, a surge of anger brewing in his heart, as if he had been severely provoked. A god of Asgard, being toyed with by this seemingly mortal guy! He suppressed his inner fury, slightly raised his chin, took an elegant step, and coldly asked, "Just who are you?"
Dominic sneered, crossed his arms, and replied proudly, "Who am I? Then remember this, I am the 'Homelander,' the Guardian, the invincible, the savior above mortals—"
Before he finished speaking, Loki disdainfully raised his hand and let out a cold snort, inwardly scoffing: The more people like to flaunt titles, the more hypocritical they seem! He waved at Dominic, elegantly unleashing a magical attack. A beam of green energy shot from his fingertips, coiling around Dominic like a venomous snake.
Dominic's disdainful smile deepened. He casually deflected the energy, his eyes full of confidence: "Challenging me? You certainly have courage, Loki." He strode forward, raised his hand, and repelled Loki's energy, forcing Loki to retreat again and again. The two fought from inside the tavern to outside the door. The tavern door slammed open with a bang, startling several passersby who scattered and fled.
Just then, Loki slightly narrowed his eyes, raised his hand, and conjured an illusion. Dozens of Loki simultaneously appeared around them, letting out cold, low chuckles: "Your so-called 'Homelander' is nothing special. Surrender to me, and I can spare your life." His voice was laced with mockery, echoing around them.
Dominic raised an eyebrow, all the subtle sounds buzzing in his ears. He sneered and activated his Cyclops, effortlessly and accurately pinpointing the real Loki. A Cyclops beam suddenly tore through the air, hitting its target with a single strike.
Loki cursed under his breath, "Damn it!" He staggered back, gritting his teeth and flashing away, instantly transforming into ice-blue elemental magic. The surrounding temperature plummeted, and a bone-chilling coldness rose from the ground. Loki's ice element quickly condensed into an ice wall, enveloping Dominic, attempting to trap him within.
Dominic smiled slightly, a wild arc forming on his lips, and loudly recited:
"The wind rolls the clouds in but an instant, mountains and rivers tremble with but a wave of the hand!"
As his voice fell, the ice wall instantly shattered into countless fragments, scattering everywhere. He strode towards Loki, saying with a full smile, "Your little tricks, can they really stop me?"
Loki gritted his teeth and continued to cast magic. The surrounding air suddenly became distorted, darkness and illusions constantly flickering into existence, his figure like a wisp of elusive mist. Just as he was triumphantly preparing to unleash more illusory interference on Dominic, his vision suddenly blurred—Dominic had appeared before him with astonishing speed!
"Bang!" Dominic raised his hand and delivered a heavy punch, hitting Loki directly in the face, followed by a barrage of consecutive blows, each punch filled with power. Loki didn't even have a chance to react. He was thoroughly beaten back and forth by Dominic, even his elegant demeanor completely gone. The scene was utterly brutal.
"Is this your 'godly' ability? I haven't even warmed up yet!" Dominic sneered as he continued to punch, each blow whistling through the air.
At this moment, Thor finally ran out of the tavern and witnessed Dominic beating up his brother. Although he was a little worried, seeing Loki being thrashed, a strange sense of satisfaction couldn't help but surface in his heart. He couldn't help but nod and softly muttered to himself, "Hmm... it seems... quite good."
"Stop, stop, stop, stop!" Loki raised his hand in a panicked gesture, green energy beams wildly flailing in the air, trying to block Dominic's relentless heavy blows, his eyes showing obvious panic.
Dominic snorted, slowing his movements but not actually stopping. Instead, he spoke with his usual arrogant tone, "Interrupt me? Do you know I am the 'Homelander,' the Guardian, the savior, the symbol of invincibility—"
Loki struggled to regain his balance, glaring coldly at Dominic, but every time he tried to retort, he was met with Dominic's even more spirited "heroic declarations," a barrage of titles raining down on his ears, truly "lethal."
"I, the Homelander, hate being interrupted the most. Listen up, Loki—this lesson you're getting today far exceeds your godly salary."
Loki's chest heaved violently. He took a few difficult deep breaths, a cold, resolute glint flashing in his eyes. He laid down a harsh threat, his voice filled with the fury of being completely provoked: "You will regret this, mortal." Before his words finished, his fingers quickly formed a series of runes, muttering low incantations under his breath. Finally, with a malevolent smile, he stared at Dominic and angrily called out, "Rainbow Bridge, take me away!"
Following Loki's summons, a dazzling light suddenly streaked across the sky. The brilliant Rainbow Bridge quickly formed in the air, shimmering with sacred and captivating radiance. Seeing this, Thor instantly realized his chance had come. He immediately disregarded the standoff between Dominic and Loki, strode over, spread his arms towards the sky, and shouted, "Heimdall! Take me back! Heimdall! I am your Thor! I—" He anxiously waved towards the sky, as if afraid of missing the chance to return home.
However, Heimdall was clearly unimpressed by this "fallen Thor." Thor's shouts received no response. He could only stand helplessly to the side, watching longingly as the light from the Rainbow Bridge grew brighter.
Loki glanced at Thor triumphantly, with a hint of a challenging smile: "It seems, brother, you still need to work harder. The Rainbow Bridge isn't available just by calling."
Thor's face flushed at his words, and he was about to retort when the light of the Rainbow Bridge finally shone on Loki, slowly enveloping him.
Just before being teleported away, Loki shot a vicious glare at Dominic, sneering, "Mortal, you are merely an ant lifted onto a pedestal. I will return."
Dominic gave a cold smile, crossed his arms over his chest, and challenged him, utterly unmoved, "Anytime, Prince Loki, but next time you'll need to prepare some more decent tricks."
Loki gritted his teeth, gave Dominic a cold glance, and then transformed into a flash of light, carried away from Earth by the Rainbow Bridge.
Thor's eyes were distant, his face full of melancholy as he knelt on the dusty ground. The dust slowly covered his shoulders. He muttered to himself, "Father, how... how can I prove myself again... Hammer... family honor..." His voice grew lower and lower, as if sinking into deep self-doubt.
Dominic stood to the side, watching the scene with interest, and couldn't help but quirk his mouth. He turned and shrugged towards "a certain direction," casually spreading his hands, as if speaking to someone: "Look, this is the mighty Thor of Asgard, reduced to a philosopher on Earth. If this were made into a movie, maybe people would actually buy tickets and find it quite interesting." He paused, then sighed slightly, showing a look of helplessness, "Speaking of which, does this 'hero's defeat' sound a bit cliché? But honestly, watching him 'find himself' in the sand, it does have a certain charm."
He deliberately tilted his head again, as if "observing" something, his gaze carrying a hint of teasing: "Oh, you think so too? I thought I was seeing things. As expected, this is our lovely Thor, isn't it? When he falls, he just squats down to reflect on life. Truly... 'endearing.'"
