Chapter 188. New Mexico (Part2)

On one side, Loki was thrown into confusion and self-doubt by the unimaginable scene before him, while on the other side, the researcher silently picked up Mjolnir from the crater, not with a look of surprise but with a look of having expected it.

"Sure enough, with the power of [Imagine Breaker], not even Mjolnir is immune."

There was no mistaking it. It was none other than Ryan, or should we say his clone. He appeared at the base.

Of course, if it was just a simple Multi-Form clone. Even if it possessed a quarter of [Tien Shinhan's] power, it would be impossible to lift the Mjolnir.

The reason why Mjolnir could be easily picked up was actually the power of the B-level card, [Kamijou Touma] that he had drawn before. In fact, as a character card rated B by the system, [Kamijou Touma] had quite an odd ability.

Purely in terms of combat power, [Kamijou Touma]'s ability may not even be capable of beating an ordinary human. To put it politely, [Ip Man], who was only a D-level card, could easily defeat [Kamijou Touma], who was a B-level card, in combat.

However, the fact that [Kamijou Touma] was recognised by the system as a B-level character card, along with [Drunken Sword Immortal] and [Master Roshi], was due to his ability called [Imagine Breaker].

"The extraordinary ability to make all powers disappear, regardless of good or evil."

Ryan speculated that if it wasn't for the fact that [Kamijou Touma] itself was too fragile as the host of the ability, perhaps the character's level could have risen further.

Of course, although the ability [Imagine Breaker] was powerful, it wasn't really as invulnerable as the description said. Not to mention the fact that the power was limited to one hand and had to be activated by contact. If the power of [Imagine Breaker] really came into contact with a force that struck from all sides, it wouldn't be able to do much.

The other thing was that the [Imagine Breaker]'s nullification targeted only supernatural forces such as magic and didn't have a single effect on modern weapons. In short, although the effect of the ability seemed very lofty, claiming to eliminate all unnatural powers. But in fact, the [Imagine Breaker] ability was extremely limited, and the effect wasn't comprehensive, so it could only be used as a special means.

Having said that, just looking at the current situation, [Imagine Breaker] was quite powerful.

Using the [Imagine Breaker] ability, Ryan directly nullified all of Odin's sealing magic on Mjolnir. No one could lift the hammer but Thor, but he easily picked it up.

In the Royal Palace of Valaskjalf.

Odin, who had been sleeping, frowned slightly, sensing an unknown twist in his arrangement.

.......

Du du du ――

"Something's wrong!!"

On the other side of the base, when a sharp alarm sounded, Agent Coulson and Hawkeye looked at each other and then ran to the location of the hammer at the centre of the base.

Since the hammer appeared in the crater, many organisations had secretly approached the place to steal it. And that's why Fury made it a point to send Hawkeye over.

...

Bowing his head and fiddling with Mjolnir, Ryan immediately noticed the conspicuous reputation points prompt in the system panel.

He reacted and noticed he wasn't the only one who was an intruder in the base.

"How on earth did you do it?!"

After removing his illusion, Loki looked at Ryan and the hammer in his hand. He asked, "A mere mortal can actually pick up the hammer? "

"The mystery of magic lies in secrecy. Exposing it will make it boring."

Looking at Loki, who suddenly appeared in front of him, Ryan's expression was bland, the corners of his mouth slightly curled under his mask.

"You're going to tell me everything..."

Ignoring the panicked crowd around him, Loki's face took on a cold expression as he raised his hands and gathered a surge of icy magical powers in his hands. A bone-chilling chill started to emerge inside the base, and many researchers found that frost started to form from their temples. Without being able to help themselves, they wrapped their arms around themselves and shivered.

"After I freeze you into a block of ice."

The corners of Loki's lips hooked up in a cold smile as he looked at Ryan and chuckled.

In the next moment, ice magic surged out from his hand.

"What?!"

Rushing towards the location of the hammer, Agent Coulson couldn't hide the surprise on his face when he saw Loki using ice magic when he arrived.

'Maybe I should've insisted on the vacation when Fury told me to come here. ' Looking at Loki's magic and then down at the bow in his hand, Clint silently lamented in his mind. However, he still aimed his arrow at Loki, who was still in front of the crater.

Faced with Loki's powerful and dangerous ice magic, Ryan didn't make any evasive moves. He just lifted his palm, which was holding Mjolnir, and extended a finger and aimed at the frost that was coming towards him. In the next instant, the frost gathered in front of him disappeared, just like snow melting in spring.

"Huh?!"

[Reputation points from Loki Laufeyson +500]

Looking down and feeling his magical powers were gone, the expression on his face turned even more bewildered.

He glanced up at Ryan across the room and, disbelievingly, re-casted his magic.

However, the result was still the same as before.

"Mortal! What did you do? Why isn't my magic working?"

Standing atop the stairs, Hawkeye watched the events unfold below. The moment he noticed Loki's magic failing, he loosened his fingers, and with a sharp crack, the arrow in his hand flew towards the crater.

Loki raised his hand and caught the flying arrow.

Loki looked at Hawkeye on the stairs and fired a frost spell.

"Can anyone catch an arrow these days?"

Looking at the arrows firmly grasped in Loki's hand, Hawkeye spat out some words before nimbly leaping out of the way of the ice magic attack.

Although Hawkeye escaped the attack, the cold magic shot still froze his previous location, covering everything in frost.

Seeing that his magic had worked, Loki slightly frowned; since there was no problem with his magic, the problematic one was the guy who appeared out of nowhere. Recalling what had happened before, his opponent also broke through Mjolnir's seal and picked it up.

Loki's face took on a dangerous look as he glanced across at Ryan, "Who the hel are you?"
