5 Where is it?

A tremendous explosion echoed through the ship's interior. Loki smiled deeply; the plan was going remarkably well. He was still imprisoned in the cell, but it shouldn't be too long before his release. Soon, the monster will be released from his slumber and chaos will begin.

Loki laughed out loud.

"I see you are quite content with your achievements." A voice suddenly echoed in Loki's ears as he spun around, searching for the enemy. There was no one in sight. "I must say, the plan would be quite a conspicuous one if I hadn't interfered."

"Who are you?" Loki asked, all the pleasure disappearing from his expression. How dared anyone interfere with his plan?

"I am God." The voice said loudly as a gigantic creature suddenly manifested in front of the prison. It was entirely green and had strange violet eyes; a monster unknown even to the Asgardian.

On top of the creature, however, stood a person. His shadow loomed over Loki as if he was declaring his dominance. A few more explosions resounded in the air, yet the two gods kept their eyes locked on each other.

"A God? Don't make me laugh!" Loki eventually whispered. A few veins popped out from his forehead. "Who the hell are you?! Are you an avenger my slave hasn't mentioned?!"

"A God doesn't need to answer the questions of mortals," Nagato answered, lingering in the air as he descended to the ground.

"I am the God and future ruler of Asgard! Who are you to call me mortal?" Loki's anger boiled inside him. Not only did someone unknown start interfering with his plans, but he also dared to defy him!

"You are just a fib. A true God doesn't need anyone under their rule." Nagato said, walking towards the floating screen in the room's corner. "A true God can destroy and create by themselves, not using the dirty hands of a human."

"How dare-"

"Enough," Nagato stated in his rural voice, placing his hand on the screen. "Now, I presume you understand the reason I am here."

"What makes you think I will tell you that if I haven't even told them anything?" Loki asked, regaining some of his composure. He was just caught by surprise by the sudden appearance of another enemy. The plan was still going to proceed as earlier.

"As I thought, there is no use in talking with someone like you." Nagato calmly brushed the screen as the prison's gate suddenly rose upwards. Loki reluctantly stepped out, glancing left and right as to understand the current situation. His slave still hasn't stopped the engine of the ship... so this person opened the path of his escape himself? Was he missing something?

"Kneel," Nagato stated, not moving from the place. Loki suddenly felt an immense pressure descending upon his body. He tried to resist, yet only more weight followed.

"What the hell!" Loki shouted, veins popping on his forehead as his gaze fell to the ground. Struggling, he forced his head upwards. The man was silently walking towards him, one hand extended forward.

Now, he truly seemed like a God. No... he seemed more like a Devil.

"Honestly, I am disappointed." Nagato stopped just beside Loki, forcing even more pressure. "I thought another God would share my opinions, yet you are a being even more revolting than a human. Ruling over everything? What a joke."

The pressure has finally subsided, but a knee flew straight towards Loki's face. He shuttled a few feet away from Nagato, blood flowing down his forehead. This kind of power shouldn't be in the hands of a mortal!

"Your brother, however, is even a more disgusting being. Flying and trying to help everyone in need... Does he think of himself a hero?" Nagato continued, calmly marching forth. "I wonder though - if he felt the genuine pain, would he still continue to help others?"

"The genuine pain?" Loki crawled backward, whispering quietly. This man was dangerous. Perhaps even more than his dear brother. Just where the hell did he appear from?

A roar reverberated through the ship, forcing Loki to look around. "The monster has already been unleashed," Nagato mumbled, then locked his eyes on the retreating figure. "I have spent too much time dwelling around."

As his words landed, Nagato appeared beside Loki, grabbing him with his palm and lifting him in the air. "Know pain," Nagato said, then activated one of his powers.

However, Loki's figure dissolved into nothingness as Nagato felt a stab of pain in the back. "You have been playing cool, but what now?" Loki's cheeks curled upwards.

"Nothing." Nagato's figure puffed into smoke and instead was replaced by a piece of steel. Loki's eyes almost fell out from the shock. He glanced backward, but only saw a fist hurling towards him.

Loki, surprised at the strength behind a simple hand, was overpowered away once again. Nagato didn't let the so-called 'God' catch a breath as he appeared beside him and landed another kick on his forehead.

"You are weak," Nagato mumbled, appearing beside Loki again. "Weakness disgusts me." With such words, Nagato placed his hand on the opponent's forehead, activating his powers.

Memories started flooding his mind and Loki's soul began zooming out. Yet, just when Nagato was about to finish his act, a hammer appeared in his sight.

Nagato extended his hand forward as a wave of pressure spread from his palm. However, the hammer didn't budge a bit and hit Nagato in the stomach.

The mysterious weapon pushed him into Loki's cell, and the doors closed immediately. "Don't you dare!" Nagato yelled, but Thor pressed the button on the screen instantly.

Soon, Nagato felt his gravity center shifting up and down. He tried to stabilize in one position, but it was impossible to do. The cell was nearing the ground each second, and Nagato couldn't do anything about it.

Eventually, Nagato just prepared himself to take on the force of the recession. As soon as he hit the ground, Nagato felt his head hitting against the metal. He felt dizzy and oblivious to the fact that most of his bones were broken entirely.

With his body disintegrated into multiple parts, Nagato almost lost consciousness right away. "Almighty push." He mumbled, crashing his broken teeth together.

Instantly, all the rocks and pieces of metal disappeared from his sight as he saw the sun looming over him. Bringing the last bits of his power, Nagato summoned the King Of Hell.

While Nagato's eyes clouded, the King Of Hell wrapped his tongue around him and took him inside his mouth. Soon, Nagato walked out of the darkness with no injuries.

"Damn it." Nagato frowned but tried to keep his emotions under control. It has been a long time since the King Of Hell was needed to be summoned. This somehow unsettled him.

"Who would have thought that Thor's weapon is immune to the Almighty Push." Nagato frowned even more. He has let himself grow weak. Even if this world doesn't hold as much power as his, it's still dangerous to act so carefreely as he did before.

"I will need a better plan." Nagato flew upwards, leaving the area behind bloodied with the blood of a God. "I need to make them feel the pain."
