Chapter 195 - Chapter 195: He shielded everyone in front of him. Holy crap, Loki, are you even human?

"Retreat!! Protect everyone and retreat!!" Lin Huai growled into the communicator. "Thor! Steve! Cover the others and get them out of here! Fast!"As he spoke, he turned and ran without a moment's hesitation.He had to lead this mad dog of an enemy away to create a path of survival for the others."Roar—!"Seeing Lin Huai flee, Algrim let out a roar. He completely ignored Tony, who was preparing to blast him from the side; his massive body turned into a black Shadow, relentlessly pursuing Lin Huai.In the meeting room, a group of politicians who were usually full of themselves fled in terror through another exit under the cover of Natasha and Clinton."Loki! Out of the way!" Thor roared, about to charge forward as he saw Lin Huai being hunted, but his path was blocked by dozens of Loki's illusions that suddenly appeared."Brother, rushing in now will only cause trouble for the Mentor." Loki's true self appeared before Thor, his expression more serious than ever. "That thing's target is him. It won't care about us until it kills him. He's leading the enemy away on purpose to create an opportunity for us.""What opportunity? To watch him get killed before our eyes?" Electricity almost crackled from Thor's eyes."No." Loki shook his head, his green eyes filled with calm analysis. "It's the opportunity to find that Monster's weakness. This is the first lesson the Mentor taught us: 'Observation.' Now, it's time for the second lesson—use your brain, not your hammer."Loki's words caused Thor's anger to subside significantly. Seeing Tony, who was also blocked by the illusions but was calmly thinking of a solution, he finally forced himself to calm down.On the other side, Lin Huai was running for his life through the winding corridors of Buckingham Palace.He didn't dare stop. The thudding footsteps behind him struck his heart with every beat. That persistent feeling of being locked onto left him without even an opportunity to use Flame Leap.This Monster wasn't just a fighter; it also had some kind of rule-based ability that locked onto him and could sense him!During his high-speed sprint, the World in Lin Huai's eyes instantly changed, filled with black and white lines and various colored Spirit Thread.And at the end of his vision, the Cursed Warrior chasing him appeared as a sphere of light he had never seen before.The core of the sphere was the Dark Elves' Cursed Stone, a mass of cold, toxic, pure black—a profound Darkness.But wrapping this black mass was a power Lin Huai had never seen, yet felt somewhat familiar—something older, more chaotic, and more insane! It was a shifting gray Shadow, filled with an aura of tyranny and desolation, faintly resembling the phantom of a giant hound. This was the power that was constantly corroding and devouring his Spirit Thread.Two lethal negative energies were now forced together in a highly unstable manner. At their intersection, right at Algrim's chest, a violently burning energy point had formed, feeling as if it could explode at any moment!That was the weakness!Lin Huai understood instantly.But it was also that energy point that gave this Monster such terrifying strength and resistance. To defeat him, that point had to be shattered.The problem was, how could he accurately hit that protected weakness amidst such frenzied attacks?"Boom!"A wall was smashed to pieces, and Algrim's massive figure charged out of the smoke, blocking Lin Huai's path once again.He didn't speak; there was only the Beast-like sound of heavy breathing and an unstoppable killing intent.Lin Huai braked hard, his body bending backward at a strange angle—like a car drifting through a gutter—to dodge a sweeping strike. The wind from the punch stung his face.He looked at the Monster before him, his mind racing.Got it!"Thor! Loki! Follow my lead!"Lin Huai's voice rang out directly in the minds of the two princes of Asgard through a mental connection."Loki, I need you to create an illusion real and large enough right above his head! It needs to distract him, even if only for a second!""Thor! Prepare your strongest move and wait for my signal!"Just as he finished his orders, Thor and Tony finally shook off the illusions.Loki's eyes lit up upon hearing Lin Huai's plan. Pulling off a grand deception was what he did best."As you wish, Mentor."He raised both hands, and a massive surge of magic soared into the sky.Algrim, who was hunting Lin Huai, suddenly looked up, sensing a massive energy fluctuation.Above the broken roof of Buckingham Palace, the sky was torn open by a giant, iridescent rift.The Bifrost Bridge!Thousands of Golden-armored Heavenly Soldiers, wielding spears and riding pegasi, poured out of the Bifrost Bridge like a golden flood, led by none other than the One-eyed All-Father, Odin!"In the name of Asgard, Judgement upon the invaders!"Odin's majestic voice echoed throughout the heavens and earth.This scene was so realistic and shocking that even a Cursed Warrior created purely for slaughter had his entire attention drawn away by this holy and grand spectacle. He looked up, letting out a confused growl.Now!"Thor!!" Lin Huai's roar exploded through the comms.The God of Thunder, long prepared, poured all his fury and divine power into mjolnir.His eyes lit up with unprecedented electrical sparks, and he charged forward, carrying lightning capable of destroying the World!"For Asgard!!!"With a thunderous roar, Thor's Hammer, trailing World-shattering blue lightning, struck with deadly precision right on the Cursed Warrior's chest—the point of most unstable energy that Lin Huai had locked onto with his spirituality!A muffled "crack" was heard, like glass shattering.The Cursed Warrior, Algrim, looked down in disbelief at his chest, which had been pierced by Thor's Hammer. There, the black cursed power and the gray Loki's flesh were frantically devouring each other and vanishing, while the resulting energy storm tore everything nearby to shreds.He opened his mouth as if he wanted to let out one last roar.But in the end, his massive body collapsed with a boom, smashing a large crater into the ground, completely devoid of life.The ruins suddenly fell silent.Thor panted heavily as he landed from mid-air, the electrical sparks on his body not yet fully dissipated.Loki waved his hand, and the giant illusion in the sky vanished like a bubble, revealing the original gloomy sky; his face was somewhat pale, clearly drained by the effort.Tony retracted his weapons and whistled at the messy scene before him. "Alright, I take back what I said earlier. Next time we have a meeting, we should probably choose an Underground bunker. At least the renovation costs for Buckingham Palace won't be billed to Stark Industries."Lin Huai slowly emerged from the Shadow of the ruins, looking at the corpse still emitting black mist, his face showing no signs of relief.He looked deep into the sky; the battle was far from over.
