"Loki?"
"Haven't seen you in many days. Why are you so down and out?"
Luke sized up Loki. The high-quality Asgardian leather, which was originally well-maintained, was now ragged, and even his long horned helmet was nowhere to be seen.
Loki forced a bitter smile, quickly glanced at the distant island, especially the figures of Thor and Odin, and a trace of regret and pain flashed in his eyes.
"Lord Luke, please help me relay this to my Father and Brother: I am sorry to Asgard. That damn Thanos and the Dark Alliance forcibly controlled my mind using the Mind Stone and spied on my memories."
"I barely managed to break free from the mind control and escaped back here while being pursued by the Dark Alliance army."
"The Dark Alliance is poised for action. They have united an unprecedentedly huge army, preparing to divide the Nine Realms, slaughter, and enslave all Earthlings and Asgardians."
"The Dark Alliance? Thanos? The Mind Stone?"
Luke frowned slightly. He had thought there was only the World Coalition Army, but he didn't expect a third party to be involved.
"Tell me everything you know."
Luke was very interested in this Dark Alliance.
They were essentially a walking library of anomalies.
Loki took a deep breath to calm his fluctuating emotions, and told Luke everything that had happened during this period.
Simply put, after Loki fell from the Bifrost Bridge, spatial turbulence accidentally caused him to travel countless light-years to the Chitauri homeworld.
Upholding the supreme glory of Asgard, Loki felt as if many Allfathers possessed him at the time, and he single-handedly defeated tens of thousands of Chitauri troops, becoming invincible and sweeping aside all opposition for a time.
It wasn't until Thanos acted dishonorably, leading the Black Order to intervene, that Loki, after a wave of brutal fighting, was finally overwhelmed, exhausted, and defeated.
Loki originally wanted to use magic to show off to the rustic outsiders, letting them know the power of the Nine Realms' foremost magician.
But he didn't expect Thanos to possess the universal treasure, the Mind Stone, which he used to forcibly control Loki's mind when he was momentarily unprepared.
And thus obtained knowledge of the distribution of power and military capabilities in places like Asgard, Alfheim, Nidavellir, and Earth.
He then controlled Loki to go to Jotunheim and Muspelheim to contact the Giants.
After that, he dispatched him to Earth to steal the Space Stone.
And using the Space Stone, he opened the Tenth Realm, which Loki had once banished: Heaven!
Currently, the Space Stone was in the hands of the Dark Elves, who used the Space Stone to create the Dark Bifrost Bridge.
The Dark Bifrost Bridge possessed the same ability to transport troops regardless of distance as the Bifrost Bridge. Although there were certain differences from the authentic Bifrost Bridge due to technological gaps, making it less stable, it already possessed the capability to rapidly transport military forces.
According to Loki, the official members of the Dark Alliance he currently knew included Malekith, Surtur, Laufey, Thanos, The Creator, Ronan, God Butcher Gorr, and others.
There were also other mysterious members whom even Loki did not know about.
Although he was unclear about their identities, Loki was certain that one of them originated from another Universe.
Many of the secrets the Dark Alliance knew about this matter came from intelligence gathered from other Universes.
For example, the existence of the Tenth Realm, the location of the Space Stone, the resting place of the Dark Elves, and so on.
The main reason Loki fell into Thanos's hands back then was that the opponent had prepared in advance, setting up a massive trap in the Chitauri stronghold.
Thanos personally led his elite forces to oversee the operation.
Otherwise, against just that group of Chitauri, Loki could kill him seven times coming and seven times going without even blinking.
Furthermore, according to Loki, there seemed to be traitors within Earth working for the Dark Alliance.
Seeing Loki's expression, which suggested he was glorious even in defeat, Luke was skeptical of his achievements.
However, the intelligence regarding the Dark Alliance was quite alarming.
The situations on Earth and Asgard were completely exposed in the opponent's eyes.
At least, the events that occurred during the Marvel timeline could not be hidden.
But Luke did not believe the opponent truly knew everything happening here.
The reason was simple: even Luke, who had watched countless films, was unsure of the true situation and event development on Earth.
The so-called Dark Alliance absolutely could not possess clearer intelligence than what he had mastered.
Otherwise, the Dark Alliance would not have waited until now to begin a full-scale invasion.
Seeing Luke deep in thought, Loki worried that he might be underestimating the situation and unaware of its severity.
If it weren't for the fact that he had done too many things against Asgard while his mind was being controlled, he wouldn't be too embarrassed to approach Odin and Thor.
Claiming to be the most suitable candidate for kingship, he was now forced to do too many things that did not fit a king's identity.
He only hoped to atone for his past mistakes by having Luke relay the information.
At the same time, he was genuinely worried about Asgard.
That Dark Alliance was too powerful and terrifying. Without his intelligence, relying solely on Thor and the aging Odin, they would be utterly incapable of resisting.
"Your Excellency Luke, you had best discuss this with my father and the others as soon as possible. If there isn't a better solution, perhaps I can offer some advice."
Loki kept signaling with his eyes for Luke to ask him quickly.
But Luke paid no attention.
What good advice could Loki possibly have?
The super brain has already said to use my super strength, so why bother considering other methods?
Just get the job done!
Loki was extremely anxious.
Seeing this, Luke waited until Thor's miserable cries stopped, then waved his hand and sent Loki in front of Odin.
Odin and Loki stared at each other.
"Loki?" Thor climbed up from the ground, looking at the disheveled Loki with surprise and uncertainty.
However, Odin's expression was far from pleasant. He silently drew the Odinsword, its blade gleaming with cold light.
"Loki, tell me, what good deeds have you done this time!"
Thud!
Loki immediately knelt on the ground. "Dear Father, my dearest Brother, I've been wronged!"
Luke glanced in the direction of Odin and Loki, then began pondering the intelligence Loki had provided.
"According to the Dark Alliance's division, Africa was allocated to Heaven by the Alliance, and Heaven's vanguard has already arrived in Africa and attacked Wakanda?"
"Heh, interesting!"
Luke prepared to make a trip to Africa and drive those bird people out.
...
At the same time, in Eastern Africa, in a remote mountainous area near Somalia.
The underdeveloped agricultural nation of Wakanda was located here.
To outsiders, Wakanda still maintained an agrarian lifestyle, a synonym for poverty and weakness.
They did not even have their own modern armed forces, lacking even AKs and RPGs.
Their primary infantry weapons were spears, and their main battle tanks were rhinos covered in iron armor.
They seemed to be living in a barbaric society from thousands of years ago.
They were so poor that even their African brethren spoke of Wakanda with disdain and mockery, feeling a strong sense of superiority over these African peers.
Yet today, Wakanda, which appeared unremarkable to outsiders, was currently engulfed in a high-tech war far surpassing modern Earth technology.
A group of Angel Legion members flew in the sky, surrounding a Vibranium energy shield that exuded a futuristic, sci-fi style.
Furthermore, in the sky, several Wakandan Talon fighters and Talon Royal aircraft were facing off against the Angel Legion across the protective barrier.
Meanwhile, on a hillside near Wakanda.
A woman wearing golden armor, with long, fiery red, wavy hair cascading to her waist, was gazing at Wakanda, accompanied by several high-ranking female Angels.

(I truly think she has the sexiest design in Marvel. She has Wonder Woman's build and much more strength, and she's an anti-hero.)
"General Angela, according to those people, Wakanda's primary technology is Vibranium technology, and this shield is also generated by Vibranium. With the military strength currently equipped by our vanguard, I fear it will be difficult to breach their defenses."
"Moreover, the equipment they wield is Vibranium gear, which, in terms of practicality, is no worse than the uru metal used by the Asgardians back then."
At the mention of the Asgardians, all the Angels showed expressions of anger.
They wished they could utterly annihilate those bastards who had exiled Heaven for thousands of years!
However, those people had allocated Africa to Heaven, hoping they would trap and eliminate Wakanda.
In return, Odin's family would be handed over to them for personal disposal.
Faced with this condition, the Queen of Heaven agreed without any hesitation.
And she dispatched her carefully trained General Angela to lead the vanguard.
Angela did not possess wings like the rest of her people, nor was she a pure Angel.
But having lived in Heaven since childhood, she was instilled with anti-Asgardian ideology from a young age, viewing Odin and the other Aesir as mortal enemies.
She did not know that the Asgardians she considered mortal enemies were actually her true family.
Because she had another identity: Odin's daughter!
