At the ship's dock in the barren Nowhere, Loki looked at Thor standing in front of him, inwardly cursing Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf for being useless.
Knowing Thor's power, he didn't dare delay after returning to the platform, immediately piloting the ship out.
But just as the ship took off, Thor's Thunder Blade came crashing down from afar, smashing the ship down.
Then lightning struck, completely destroying the ship.
"Long time no see, brother!"
Looking at the furious Thor, Loki's face was full of smiles, showing no sign of wanting to fight.
Thor stepped forward and grabbed Loki's collar.
"You damned bastard, I thought you were really dead. Do you know how heartbroken my father and I were?"
"Correction, it's your father."
Loki forcefully pulled Thor's hand off his collar.
"He must have told you about my origins. I'm not your brother at all; I'm just an abandoned baby of the Frost Giants!"
Thor was silent for a moment upon hearing this, but he quickly raised his head and said seriously,
"That doesn't matter. We were both raised by him. We fought together, played together, isn't that enough?"
"But I've always lived in your shadow." Loki's eyes flickered.
This sentence made Thor fall silent again.
"No matter what, I will take you home, even if it means… kidnapping you!"
Finally, he sighed helplessly.
But before he could make a move, he suddenly felt a dagger in his lower back.
"Brother, you're still so naive."
The Loki in front of Thor slowly disappeared, and the real Loki behind him had already plunged a dagger into his lower back.
It turned out that Loki's words were just to distract Thor, making it easier for him to use illusion magic and stealth to launch a sneak attack.
"Loki!"
Thor unleashed a powerful burst of lightning, blasting Loki away and slamming him into a spaceship.
What to do when your little brother is disobedient? A good beating will do.
Thor approached Loki, preparing to give his brat a good, loving lesson to bring him to his senses.
Suddenly, he was slammed into by a gigantic, six-armed monster, and then swarmed towards him from all sides.
"I'm here."
Loki gracefully rose, replying to Thor, and was then sucked up by a giant, donut-shaped spaceship that had appeared above him.
"Why are you alone? Where are Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf?"
Inside the spaceship, an elderly, dark-skinned alien looked at Loki and asked.
He had received orders from Ebony Maw to steer the spaceship into the Nowhere to retrieve Loki.
Seeing Loki being attacked, he released a small contingent of his Vanguard to intercept the enemies attacking Loki.
However, when he sent a request for further action to Ebony Maw, he found he couldn't contact him.
So he could only ask Loki, who had received the request.
'Most likely, they are dead.'
Loki thought to himself, of course, he couldn't say this aloud.
When Ebony Maw saw him off, he hadn't done anything.
He couldn't place all his hopes on others; he left a surveillance spell behind, which happened to witness Goku's support.
Although he had just removed the surveillance spell because of dealing with Thor and couldn't see the outcome, he didn't believe Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf could stop that freakish little boy from Midgard.
Even the Destroyer and Fangfei, the Frost Giant King, wielding the Ancient Winter Coffin and at full power, were no match for that little boy.
"I don't know either. Ebony Maw told you to take me to see Thanos first."
"But… Lord Ebony Maw and Lord Black Dwarf haven't returned yet."
The dark-skinned alien hesitated.
Loki raised an eyebrow: "Then you stay here. Find another ship to take me to see Thanos. You should know how important my matter is. If you delay, I don't think you'll want your head either."
To be honest, he had a feeling that Thanos's vanguard might not be able to stop the boy and his greatly strengthened brother, Thor.
"This… alright."
The dark-skinned alien thought for a moment, then nodded, arranging for someone to take Loki away from the ship alone.
He couldn't contact Lord Ebony Maw now, but he knew that the most important thing about this mission was to bring Loki back to see Lord Thanos.
So letting Loki leave first wasn't a problem.
Once the Outriders dealt with those who dared to defy Thanos, they could catch Ebony Maw and then give chase.
Above the giant donut-shaped spaceship, smaller spaceships quietly departed.
Loki stood before the glass of a small spaceship, looking at the constantly rising lightning below, muttering:
"Thor, what I've lost, I will take back with my own hands."
Below, Thor wielded Mjolnir, its electricity at full power, blasting away the terrifying Outriders with either magnetic attacks or cleaving them in two.
However, there were too many Outriders, and their vitality was extremely tenacious.
He killed one, two appeared; he killed two, four appeared; he killed four, eight appeared—he simply couldn't kill them all in a short time.
This prevented him from rushing into the giant donut-shaped spaceship in the sky to find Loki.
Fortunately, just as he was getting anxious, Goku appeared, apparating with Ebony Maw and Black Dwarf.
"Thor, is this the food you bought?"
Goku looked around at the six-armed monsters, their flesh charred and emitting a delicious aroma, and his mouth watered slightly.
The kind people who had treated him to a meal earlier had only given him about half his usual portion.
Now, the monsters laid out before him all looked firm and meaty, undoubtedly top-quality ingredients.
"Goku, can you shoot that big guy in the sky down!"
Thor hurled Mjolnir, sending all the approaching Vanguard flying, and pointed to the donut-shaped spaceship in the sky.
Shoot down the spaceship first to prevent Loki from escaping; after clearing out these small fries, then find Loki.
Goku looked at the donut-shaped spaceship in the sky and nodded. This wasn't difficult.
"Total Concentration Breathing - Breath of Ki, Form of Concentration!"
Goku raised his right hand and forcefully breathed towards the giant donut-shaped object in the sky.
A terrifying blade of air shot into the sky.
Then, the donut-shaped spaceship swiftly split in two, falling to the sides.
It had been almost fourteen months since he started learning gravity magic from Zeref.
If his initial base strength when he opened the white space was one, then after a year and a half of training, his base strength had doubled to two.
This refers to base strength, excluding the effects of Breath of Ki, Giant Magic, and the Great Ape transformation.
Fourteen months of focused training in gravity magic had directly raised his base strength to a terrifying level.
Therefore, he only needed to use Breath of Ki to unleash a few forms to easily sever the giant spaceship containing advanced technology.
