***********************************
Loki was not angry since it had not happened. Watching it was also very beneficial for him to learn from it.Ā
But his smile was cut short by the title that appeared on the screen.
[Famous Scene: Loki Being Shot!]
Loki's smirk froze. His entire body tensed.
He read the words once. Then twice.
And the third time, his hands twitched toward the dagger at his belt.
"I really want to throw the dagger in my hand."
Loki's lips pressed into a thin line.
Oh, you have no idea.
His green eyes flicked to the next line.
"Brother!"
A vein throbbed in Loki's forehead.
Don't call me. Don't look at me. Don't even THINK about me right now.
His heart pounded as he read further.
The landlord has no surplus food! Can you change someone!!!
If this goes on, I will jump directly into the abyss of the universe!
Loki exhaled sharply, his grip on the dagger tightening.
That's it. I'm done.
Behind him, Frigga, standing gracefully on the steps, watched her son's growing frustration. A small smile played on her lips.
My own childā¦ how adorable.
Then the video began.
[In order to close the portal in the skyā¦
Black Widow leaped onto an alien chariot, stealing control from a Chitauri.Ā
And then Loki appeared, riding another chariot while holding the scepter in his hand, looking very arrogant and majestic.
He unleashed blue energy rays, one after another, forcing Black Widow to dodge desperately.
Black Widow hurriedly asked Hawkeye for help.
Black Widow: Barton! Help!]
The moment the name Hawkeye appeared on screen, Loki's expression twisted. His fingers curled into fists. His mind screamed at his future self.
No. No. Do NOT lower your guard!
On the screen
[Hawkeye coolly tapped his quiver, selecting a new arrow. He skillfully drew his bow and released the arrow in one smooth motion.
Loki watched his past self react flawlessly. He caught the arrow in midair, fingers closing around the shaft with ease.
A smug smile curled on his lips. He turned to Hawkeye, his expression practically screaming.
"This is the best you can do?"]
Loki's current self could only stare in horror.
No, you fool. No, no, no, NO!
CHECK THE ARROW! THROW IT! DISPOSE OF IT! DON'T JUSTā
[BOOM!
The arrow exploded right in his past self's hand.
Loki was blown out of the sky, his body flipping and crashing into the Stark Tower like a ragdoll.]
For a moment, silence filled the grand hall of Asgard.
And then...
"PFFTāBAHAHAHAHAHA!!!"
Thor collapsed onto the ground, pounding his fist against the floor. His entire body shook with laughter. "Hah! Loki! The mighty trickster! Bested by a mereā Pfftā EXPLODING ARROW!"
The warriors of Asgard, who had been holding back, erupted in laughter. The sound echoed throughout the golden hall.
Even Odin, seated on his throne, let out a deep chuckle. The great All-Father, king of the gods, found himself unable to suppress his amusement.
Frigga hid her smile behind her hand, but her twinkling eyes betrayed her mirth.
Hela had one perfectly arched eyebrow raised. Her lips curled into a smirkādark, wicked, and amused.
She tilted her head ever so slightly.
"Oh, little brother," She said smoothly, her voice dripping with mockery. "Have you ever heard of the phrase 'opening champagne at halftime'?"
Loki stiffened.
"What?" He growled.
Hela chuckled. "It means celebrating too early."
She gestured to the screen. "And you, dear Loki, celebrated far too early."
Her smirk widened. "You even smiled at the man before the explosion. That's just tragic."
Loki's fingers clenched into fists.
Thor was now rolling on the floor, kicking his legs in the air, laughing so hard he could barely breathe.
Odin, the mighty Allfather, had wiped a single tear of mirth from his eye.
Frigga, amused beyond words, merely shook her head with a fond smile.
Loki stood frozen. His face turned an alarming shade of red.
He inhaled sharply through his nose. And then, he snapped.
"FUTURE ME!!!" Loki roared, gripping his head in both hands. "DO YOU HAVE TO BE SO EMBARRASSING?!"
He wheeled toward Odin, pointing accusingly at his still-laughing brother. "Father! Thor is mocking me! Is this how a prince should behave?!"
Odin merely stroked his beard, amusement still dancing in his eyes. "I see no issue here."
Thor gasped for breath, wiping a tear from his eye.
"Brother, brotherā" He wheezed. "That face you made before the explosionāpriceless!"
Loki gritted his teeth. Curse these mortals. Curse Hawkeye. Curse the future!
He could feel his dignity shattering into a thousand tiny pieces.
And worst of all... the entire kingdom of Asgard had witnessed it.
Every single god and goddess had seen him smugly catch an arrowā¦ only to be blown to pieces seconds later.
At this moment, Loki had never wanted to disappear more.
However, Loki had no idea that worse was yet to come.
On the screen, the picture changed and aĀ new title appeared.
[Famous Scene: I Am a God!]
Loki's heart, which had been battered and bruised by the previous humiliation, instantly soared.
He straightened his back, adjusted his cape, and smirked.
"Brother," He said smugly to Thor, "look at this title. When it comes to gods, it must be you and me."
Thor, still chuckling from Loki's previous misfortune, raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Are you certain?"
Loki waved a hand dramatically. "And if the humans are speaking of who truly embodies the might of a god, then surely it must be you."
Thor grinned. "That's for certain! Then let's watch my performance!"
He folded his arms, expecting a glorious battle scene of himself, something worthy of the title.
The screen lit up.
The hall grew silent, watching in anticipation.
[Loki was hurled through the glass, crashing onto the Stark Tower.
Before he could even breathe, a massive green blur slammed into him.
The impact sent shockwaves through the building.
The glass shattered and debris flew.
Loki's entire body bounced against the floor like a ragdoll caught in a storm.
He barely had time to process what was happening beforeā
THUD.
He was on his back, groaning.
The air was knocked from his lungs.
The monstrous Hulk loomed over him, fists clenched, rage incarnate.
The great Loki was done with this day. His battered form trembled with outrage.
How dare these mortals treat him like this?
ENOUGH.
His temper finally snapped.
With all the regal fury he could muster, Loki shot to his feet, pointed a trembling finger at the Hulk, and unleashed his wrath.
"ENOUGH!! You lowly, inferior creatures!"
"I AM A GOD! AND I WILL NOT BEā"
SMASH.
However, before the words could fully leave his lips, Hulk grabbed him by the legs.
Loki felt his stomach plummet.
His world tilted.
WHAM!
He was swung into the floor.
WHAM!
WHAM!
WHAM!
It did not stop.
Loki was nothing in the hands of the green beast.
His arms flopped, his head snapped back and forth, and his voiceāif he still had oneāwas lost in the thunderous repeated impact of his body against the ground.
Then, as suddenly as it started, it was over.
The final swing sent Loki crashing into the shattered floor, limbs sprawled, his face frozen in pure shock and defeat.
Hulk, towering over his crushed form, snorted.
"Weak God."
Finally, Loki was left with a dull face, staring at the ceiling, unable to let go for a long time.]
Back in Asgard
Silence for one second before everyone burst out laughing.
BAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
Thor was gone. Literally on the ground, rolling. His laughter shook the golden floors of the great hall.
"BY THE NINE! LOKI!! YOU GOTāYOU GOTāHAHA HAHAāTURNED INTO AāAā"
He clutched his stomach, unable to continue.
Seph, who had remained mostly composed throughout the previous humiliations, finally lost it. He pressed a hand to his forehead, shaking his head, his shoulders trembling from barely contained laughter.
Hela, leaning against a pillar, crossed her arms and smirked. "I must admit, I have seen many beatings in my time. But that? That was art."
Odin let out a long sigh and then chuckled.
Frigga, ever the gentle mother, held a hand to her mouth, but her twinkling eyes betrayed her amusement.
The warriors of Asgard completely lost it.
The grand hall was filled with roaring laughter.
And Loki... heĀ wanted to die.
His eye twitched. His hands clenched into fists.
"Why," He muttered under his breath, "Why is it always me?!"
