Standing right before him, Dominic was relaxed, his casual attitude piercing the proud nerve deep within Loki's heart. This time, Loki was ready and wouldn't be easily provoked again.
"Dominic," Loki chanted softly, his voice cold with a hint of chill, "This time, I will show you what Asgardian magic truly is!" He raised the Mind Stone in his hand, and golden light converged at the tip of the scepter, as if solidifying into a beam of searing energy. As the energy gathered, he softly chanted ancient Asgardian enhancement magic, and a strange chill gradually spread through the air. Frost-like blue magic covered his arms, bringing with it a murderous intent like that of a frozen hell.
"This time, I will personally claim my throne, and you will pay the price for it." Loki's voice was low and oppressive, and behind him, the ice giants of Norse mythology seemed to appear, their biting killing intent enveloping the surroundings like sharp blades.
Seeing this, Dominic still had that casual smile on his face. He lazily raised his hand and said nonchalantly, "Wow, are you really going all out this time? Brother Loki, honestly, this kingly demeanor of yours is quite cliché, but seeing you use so many moves, I'm happy to play along." He stretched his wrists, but a flicker of excitement for battle flashed in his eyes. "Then let me see what tricks you, this 'king,' can pull off."
Loki glared at him, his eyes filled with unyielding killing intent, and said in a low voice, "Mortal! You do not understand the true meaning of this power—only a god is worthy of wielding it!"
Before his words fell, ice magic surged from Loki's hand. Amplified by the Mind Stone, he swung his hand violently, and countless sharp ice blades instantly condensed in the air. These ice blades were not ordinary ice; they contained pure intent to kill, rushing towards Dominic with an ear-piercing sound that tore through the air.
Dominic smiled slightly, not avoiding them at all. Instead, he took a step forward, his eyes filled with immense confidence. Just as the ice blades were about to touch him, he suddenly flashed, moving so fast that he seemed to disappear instantly. The sharp ice blades passed through the afterimages he left behind, bursting in the air, leaving only a cold wreckage on the ground.
"Is that all?" Dominic's voice sounded beside Loki's ear, having clearly moved to his side. A mocking smile played on his lips as he lightly patted Loki's shoulder, his tone dismissive, "You still don't understand, Loki. You and your ice blades aren't very intimidating. These little things are like a boring ice sculpture party."
Loki was furious. He suddenly turned and struck, knocking Dominic's hand away, a hint of killing intent in his eyes. "Don't be impatient, Dominic, this is just the beginning." He raised the scepter and swung it forcefully. The sky was instantly covered by dark energy, and the power of the Mind Stone caused Loki's magic to grow rapidly. He softly chanted a spell, and the ice blades condensed again into a giant ice dragon, circling behind him, heading straight for Dominic with destructive cold.
Dominic nodded slightly, as if showing some interest in the scene. "Wow, upgraded to an ice dragon? Alright, I guess you're trying a little harder." A red light suddenly flashed in his eyes. He leaned slightly forward, and Cyclops's eye beam instantly erupted, hitting the ice dragon head-on. The powerful heat tore the ice dragon into countless fragments, and the shattered ice splattered everywhere like brilliant starlight.
"Do you really think you can defeat a god?" A cold light flickered in Loki's pupils, and the yellow gem on the scepter in his hand became even more dazzling. He flashed and appeared directly in front of Dominic, swinging the Mind Stone down with overwhelming power.
Dominic blocked the scepter's attack with a raised hand, a smile appearing on his lips. "That move of yours looks like a bottle opener." He suddenly increased the force in his hand, blocking Loki's attack, and countered with a swift uppercut. Loki retreated slightly, narrowly dodging the blow, but his expression clearly wasn't discouraged by this.
"It seems that's all you've got." Dominic deliberately stretched, yawning without concealment. "Next time you really want to fight, why not consider some more efficient moves? That way, you can be 'shocking' in just one round."
Loki slowly closed his eyes, adjusting his emotions, and exhaled gently, seemingly calming the fluctuations in his heart. His gaze gradually became stern, and the anger and contempt from before were gone, replaced by a steady kingly demeanor.
"Dominic," he said in a low, firm voice, "Your taunts and frivolous attitude once made me extremely uncomfortable. I even felt disgusted facing someone as flippant as you." He paused slightly, a strange light flashing in his eyes, then changed the subject, his tone filled with stern confidence. "But now I understand. I should thank you. You made me realize that as a king, one should abandon unnecessary anger and maintain their dignity. This is my way, Loki's way—the true posture of a god and a king!"
Dominic raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes. The smile on his lips gradually disappeared, replaced by a hint of grim seriousness. "Hah, now that's more like it, Loki. This version of you is worth me making a move." His voice was cold and devoid of emotion. "Only by defeating you like this can I feel accomplished." As his voice fell, he slowly raised his hand, his eyes filled with chilling indifference, as if every muscle in his body was tensed, concealing a murderous intent.
Dominic's aura suddenly erupted. The surrounding air seemed to tremble violently because of his presence, like an invisible pressure, enveloping the battlefield in his shadow. The chilling pressure was like a cold blade passing by, carrying deadly cold. The surrounding Chitauri warriors seemed to feel the terrifying aura on him and involuntarily retreated.
Loki was also instantly shaken by this powerful presence. His eyes narrowed slightly, but then a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he stood up straight without fear. He recalled countless battles with Thor, the stern gaze of his Father, and the moments when he struggled to find his place among the gods.
"No, no more tricks and mockery!" An unprecedented determination burst forth in Loki's eyes. His figure was enveloped in a faint layer of ice, and the light of the Mind Stone on the scepter became even more intense, as if merging with his power. The strange aura disappeared, replaced by a pure and solemn kingly ice majesty. The surrounding air suddenly dropped in temperature, a thin layer of frost formed on the ground, and a bone-chilling cold permeated the air.
Not far away, Thor, who was fighting the Chitauri, immediately felt the sudden change in Loki. His eyes were filled with shock and disbelief. "This aura... Loki..." His heart trembled. This brother, who was once full of tricks and mockery, was now exuding such pure kingly majesty, making him momentarily unable to discern if the Loki before him was still the cunning god he knew.
"Dominic!" Loki's voice echoed across the battlefield, as if a wave of ice swept in from all directions, carrying irresistible pressure. His gaze was sharp as a blade, and his tone carried immense determination. "I will prove to you that I am not just the god of mischief. I am a king—the true King of Ice!"
Dominic glanced at him indifferently, let out a cold snort, and made no attempt to hide the fighting intent in his eyes. He waved his hand lightly and said coldly, "Then come on, Loki! Let me see today how long this god who calls himself the 'King of Ice' can last."
