"There are sorcerers on Earth too?"
Loki was very surprised; he had been to Earth more than once, but this was the first time he had encountered a spellcaster.
But he simply scoffed at what Fang Yuan had said.
"A mere thief who relies on sneak attacks dares to tell me what to do?"
Loki, annoyed by Fang Yuan making him trip earlier, directly pulled out his two daggers and charged straight at him.
"Are you really a mage?"
Fang Yuan quipped. Ignoring the charging Loki, he turned and raised his hand into mid-air.
He held his index and middle fingers out like a pair of scissors and made a gesture in the air, precisely catching a dagger between them.
Loki's figure was revealed, his face filled with shock.
He had specifically used his signature Cloning Spell, using an Illusion to draw Fang Yuan's attention while he himself turned invisible for a sneak attack.
But this combo, which had worked every time against Thor, was thwarted by a sorcerer from Earth.
Wait... a sorcerer?
Loki's brow furrowed deeply. What kind of sorcerer catches a blade with two fingers?
"Naughty."
The corner of Fang Yuan's mouth curled slightly. After equipping the [Homelander Template], he applied force with his fingers instantly... Loki's dagger didn't budge... He failed to show off.
Loki's daggers were specially crafted divine weapons that could easily pierce through Thor's divine protection; they weren't something that could be crushed by mere brute force.
Fang Yuan's expression didn't change, preventing Loki from noticing anything was wrong. Since he couldn't break it, he simply yanked it toward himself. The dagger flew out of Loki's hand, achieving the goal of disarming him anyway.
"You're not a very traditional sorcerer," Fang Yuan remarked.
Knowing one or two signature spells and then engaging in melee combat with cold weapons—Loki's style was exactly the same as the sorcerers of Kamar-Taj.
However, Loki wasn't the berserker-type sorcerer seen in Kamar-Taj; he was more of an assassin-mage. Once restricted by Fang Yuan, he was at his mercy, just like now.
Fang Yuan pummeled Loki with a series of Military Boxing strikes until he was dizzy, then continued, "How can you be a sorcerer without being proficient in hand-to-hand combat?"
A sigh seemed to echo from Gandalf.
"Enough!"
magic power erupted from Loki, allowing him to break free from Fang Yuan's control. He stood there, disheveled and panting heavily.
"Human sorcerer, you dare to desecrate a god!" Loki shouted. "I will launch the armies of Asgard and level Earth to the ground!"
"And then your brother will find out his father isn't dead, and that you've been lying to him about everything?" Fang Yuan's single sentence left Loki speechless.
His expression shifted between anger and uncertainty. Although Thor had been stripped of his divine power, Loki knew the All-Father couldn't have truly abandoned him; otherwise, he wouldn't have thrown Mjolnir down as well.
So Loki was indeed afraid that Thor would discover his schemes and stop him before he could succeed.
He forced himself to calm down, smoothing his messy hair while glaring at Fang Yuan.
An argument is an argument, why bring parents into it!
Once his reason returned, Loki finally pondered Fang Yuan's words carefully, and he began to get a sense of things—
This person was a bad seed!
"What do you want?" he asked.
"To plot for the world with you!" Fang Yuan replied.
In layman's terms, it meant: I help you rule Asgard, and you give me half the world.
"I can help you keep Thor on Earth forever, ignorant of the truth. I can ensure Odin sleeps eternally. Any generals in Asgard who refuse to obey you will be eliminated, helping you secure your throne!"
Fang Yuan proposed his "grand plan."
"In exchange for all this, you only need to open up Asgard's technology and resources to me."
"It's a very fair deal!"
Loki was silent for a moment, then shook his head decisively.
"No!"
Of course Loki wouldn't agree. His core motivation for wanting to be king wasn't power, but to be noticed. Fang Yuan's suggestion of eliminating dissenters went against his wishes.
If everyone he cared about was killed, who would be left to notice him?
Even knowing that Odin wasn't his biological father, Loki still viewed him as such.
After all, a thousand years of upbringing was no joke.
Upon receiving a clear rejection, a satisfied smile suddenly bloomed on Fang Yuan's face. "Hmm, I knew you could still be saved. You're not purely evil!"
"Those words just now were merely a test for you!"
Loki's shocked expression betrayed his confusion.
A test?
That's the part that's fake, right?
Loki's subconscious told him that it was only because he hadn't agreed; if he had, this person really would have followed through.
"A test? What a pity. I thought it was real and considered it for a long time," Loki forced out a witty remark.
Fang Yuan sighed. "Yes, it's a pity you actually refused."
Loki's face was covered in black lines.
You said it was fake, so what's with that disappointed tone?
"Who exactly are you?" Loki couldn't help but ask.
"I am Fang Yuan, but you can also call me the Black King."
Fang Yuan pulled out an invitation.
"I'm here to invite you to join my Vought Corporation. We at Vought are experts at helping people get noticed."
He began painting a grand picture. "Imagine, with our help, the people of the Divine Realm shouting 'King Loki,' your deeds being sung throughout the Nine Realms, and being greeted with sincerity wherever you go. How happy would you be then?"
Loki was indeed drawn in by the scene Fang Yuan described, but he quickly shook his head to break the Illusion.
"I am already the King of Asgard. I have no need for your flattery!" Loki said stubbornly.
"Alright, then I'll ask again when you've fallen on hard times."
Fang Yuan shrugged, indicating he didn't mind. He had just come to get acquainted and leave a preliminary impression on Loki.
Loki's expression stiffened.
You're the one who's fallen on hard times! I am the King of Asgard, how could I fall on hard times?
If he weren't unable to defeat Fang Yuan, he would have definitely tried to reason with him with his fists.
"Once I've secured my position as King of Asgard, I will definitely avenge today's humiliation!" Loki resolved in his heart.
"But I suggest you don't kill Laufey. After all, you have to leave yourself a way out," Fang Yuan suddenly added.
Loki struggled to hide his shock. He hadn't told anyone about his plan; how did Fang Yuan know?
"Since when does the King of Asgard need you to butt in?"
He glared fiercely at Fang Yuan and quickly left without looking back.
This person was too strange. If he couldn't win, couldn't he at least hide?
After finishing with the younger brother, Fang Yuan went over to the older brother, Thor.
By this time, Jane's group of three had just finished their checks and arrived outside Thor's interrogation room.
Coulson received them personally.
Seeing Coulson, the villain who had just robbed them, Jane and Selvig didn't look pleased. Seeing this, Daisy also made a fierce expression.
Because they were brought by Fang Yuan and he had heard they had a connection with Thor, Coulson immediately knew Fang Yuan's intention, so he took the initiative to say, "Professor Selvig, Dr. Foster, your equipment is very useful. Once we're done using it, it will be returned to you."
"If you two are interested, you could even join S.H.I.E.L.D.'s research department!"
"No thanks. We'll be lucky if we just get it back," Jane was the first to refuse.
Professor Selvig also shook his head. He didn't like dealing with officials unless there was a project extremely worth researching.
"Let's go, let's see our new friend," Fang Yuan said as he walked over.
Because Fang Yuan had helped them get their equipment back, the three of them had a much better attitude toward him, with Jane even walking at the front.
At this moment, Thor was still immersed in the grief of his father's death. Hearing movement, he looked up, and his eyes regained some light when he saw Jane.
"You... were also captured?" he asked.
Thor frowned. "How could they do this?"
"No, we came here of our own accord," Jane explained immediately. "I... we wanted to see if you were okay."
Thor felt a warmth in his heart. He was currently in exile, and the concern from Jane's group moved him deeply.
"Oh, this is Fang Yuan. He's the one who brought us here," Jane introduced Fang Yuan.
Hearing that it was Fang Yuan who allowed Jane and the others to visit him, the simple-minded Thor immediately squeezed out a smile. "Thank you."
Fang Yuan waved it off. "You're welcome. Actually, I just wanted to prove to you that we mean no harm."
"Ask whatever you want to ask," Thor said directly.
He was finally willing to cooperate with S.H.I.E.L.D.'s interrogation.
But Fang Yuan spoke up with something surprising: "You are Thor of Asgard, right?"
Jane's group looked like they had seen a ghost, astonished that someone from an Agent organization would say something so unscientific.
Although they knew there was something extraordinary about Thor, they ultimately believed in science more.
Thor was also very shocked; he hadn't expected Fang Yuan to know his identity.
After being on Earth for two days, Thor had realized that this place wasn't like other parts of the Nine Realms that knew of Asgard's fame. He had originally planned to live here in exile under an assumed name.
"There are still Asgardians on Earth now. S.H.I.E.L.D. might not be very clear on it, but we are not unfamiliar with them," Fang Yuan explained simply.
"Wait, aren't you from S.H.I.E.L.D.?" Daisy asked quickly.
"But I have another identity."
Fang Yuan smiled and raised his hand to draw a circle, directly summoning a sparking Portal. On the other side of the door was the entrance to a tavern.
"Care for a drink?" He tilted his head toward Thor.
"Of course!"
At the mention of this, Thor was no longer sleepy.
Jane and the other two looked at each other; something like a Portal truly shattered their understanding of reality.
"A magician! Fang is actually a magician!" Daisy cried out, and Fang Yuan became more and more attractive in her eyes.
So the three of them also hurriedly followed.
As it turned out, ordinary people were indeed weaklings when it came to drinking; Jane's group was soon out for the count.
But Thor was also drunk after several kegs of beer. Even without his divine power, his physical constitution was extraordinary, but one can be intoxicated by sorrow as much as by wine.
Under the influence of alcohol, Thor poured out all his experiences, grievances, and pain during this period to Fang Yuan, crying until his tears and snot were a mess.
How considerate Fang Yuan was. While being a qualified listener, he also constantly comforted Thor, saying understanding words that moved Thor beyond description.
"Fang Yuan understands me!" — This was Thor's inner thought.
The effect was also very significant. The next day, after sobering up from the heavy drinking session, Thor and Fang Yuan were already walking with their arms around each other's shoulders, calling each other brothers.
"To think that Earth also has a sorcerer organization like Kamar-Taj. No wonder Asgard rarely comes to Earth, yet Earth remains stable," Thor remarked.
"It's a pity I can't return to Asgard now."
Thor was a simple-minded, single-cell organism; after venting, he accepted his current situation.
Fang Yuan took the opportunity to offer a "well-intentioned" suggestion: "Since you'll be living on Earth from now on, Thor, why don't you come to my company and be a star? It'll make everyone love you, and there'll be endless beer every day."
Thor's eyes lit up. "Are you serious?"
"Serious!"
