Steve Rogers spoke in a low voice, "I don't think it's that simple. This guy is really strong."

"For an old man like you, your observation skills aren't bad..." Iron Man agreed.

As they conversed, Black Widow, who was piloting the jet, noticed that the sky outside had suddenly darkened, and thunder began to rumble.

Boom! Zzz...

A massive bolt of lightning struck down, accompanied by a deafening thunderclap.

"Where did that lightning come from?"

Natasha sensed something unusual.

The sky was normal just a moment ago, and now there was lightning and thunder?

At this moment, Syd, who was hanging onto the side of the jet, also noticed the strange weather.

"A familiar feeling..."

In an instant, Syd felt a sense of familiarity from the weather.

Whoosh~ A cold wind blew, heralding the coming storm.

Syd immediately activated two layers of Photon Shield.

Even if he were struck by lightning, with his current physique, it wouldn't cause much harm, perhaps just a minor injury and a bit of soot.

Just then, a bolt of lightning, seemingly attracted to him, struck directly toward him.

A flash of white light momentarily blinded him.

Syd ignored the anomaly, keeping his eyes fixed on the distant jet.

As the lightning dissipated, he remained unscathed.

The lightning had been absorbed by the Photon Shield.

Feeling the violent energy within the void space of the shield, Syd stroked his chin, deciding not to let the shield's void space disintegrate it, but to keep it stored.

Maybe he could play with the lightning later?

Come to think of it, Syd did miss the feeling of wielding Mjolnir.

He wondered if now, with his awakened powers, something unusual might happen if he tried to lift it again?

Syd was curious.

As he pondered, the distant jet began to shake due to turbulence.

"What's happening?" Loki asked.

Captain America turned and asked, "Are you afraid of lightning?"

By now, Loki had roughly figured out what was going on and casually explained, "I don't like the guy who controls it."

He looked up at the top of the jet.

Suddenly!

With a loud bang, something hit the top of the jet.

The fuselage shook.

Grabbing his nearby Mark helmet, Tony Stark headed towards the rear of the jet.

"What are you doing?" Steve Rogers asked.

Opening the jet's hatch, Tony Stark had no time to reply as he saw a figure appear at the open door.

Just as he raised his hand to attack, he was sent flying by a hammer blow.

Thor, the God of Thunder, grabbed Loki without saying a word and jumped out of the jet with him.

Shaking his head to clear it, Tony Stark stood up, annoyed. "This guy really knows how to make an entrance."

"Another Asgardian?" Natasha turned to him.

Captain America asked, "Is he on our side?"

"That's not important." Tony Stark glanced at them. "Whether he frees Loki or kills him, the Tesseract is still missing."

As he spoke, he walked towards the open hatch.

Seeing what he intended to do, Steve tried to stop him, "Stark, we need to come up with a plan first."

"The plan is to fight." Stark didn't listen to him at all.

Watching his figure disappear into the clouds, Captain America sighed, grabbed a parachute, and quickly strapped it on.

Black Widow, seeing this, said helplessly, "I can't control him, Captain."

"Neither can I." Captain America finished strapping on the parachute.

At that moment, Natasha remembered something.

Worried that Captain America might underestimate them, she turned and reminded him, "Those two are legendary figures; they're basically gods. Be careful, Captain."

Captain America didn't seem too concerned and casually replied, "There's only one God in this world, and he doesn't dress like that."

Picking up his shield, Steve Rogers ran to the hatch and leaped out.

Soon, the once noisy jet became quiet, leaving only Natasha.

Just when Natasha thought everything had settled, she heard a faint sound.

"Heh heh..."

Huh? Natasha was startled, thinking it might have been her imagination. She instinctively turned to look behind her.

She couldn't believe her eyes when she saw a figure fly off the top of the jet, chasing after Captain America.

"Oh my God..."

In just an instant, Natasha's heart tightened, feeling a sense of terror, as if she had walked into a horror movie.

Someone else was there?

When did that happen? Who was it?

As Natasha was overwhelmed with questions, Syd was floating behind Captain America.

With his control over the nearby light, the area was quite dark, and since there was some distance between them, Captain America didn't notice that someone was following him.

Watching Captain America free-fall rapidly towards the ground, Syd almost couldn't resist flying over and asking him if he was enjoying a sunny stroll.

Shaking his head, dismissing that ridiculous thought, Syd's figure flickered and disappeared from where he was.

Boom! A sonic boom echoed.

Hearing the sonic boom, Captain America's heart tightened, and he instinctively turned his head to look, but he saw nothing, as Syd had already vanished, reappearing a kilometer away.

At this moment, he was speeding towards Iron Man, Thor, and the others.

It didn't take long for him to pass Iron Man, unnoticed, and catch up with Thor, who was holding Loki and Mjolnir, about to land.

Looking at Thor, who was about to land with Loki in one hand and Mjolnir in the other, Syd's right hand twitched, wanting to try summoning Mjolnir.

He wondered, would Mjolnir recognize him or Thor at this moment?

Just then...

Boom! As he approached the ground, Thor threw Loki to the ground.

"Where is the Tesseract?"

Thor demanded.

Loki, lying on the ground, groaned in pain for a moment, then chuckled, "Long time no see, brother."

Thor's tone grew heavier as he angrily said, "Do I look like I'm here for a reunion?"

Loki didn't answer, starting his usual taunting.

"After the Rainbow Bridge was destroyed, do you know how much dark energy Odin had to muster to send you to your beloved Earth?"

"You should be thanking me."

Just as Loki stood up, Thor angrily grabbed him by the throat.

Thor knew that without the Rainbow Bridge, reaching Earth would be difficult.

His mission this time, aside from uncovering the identity of the mysterious figure in white, was to retrieve the Tesseract.

With the Tesseract, the Rainbow Bridge could be quickly repaired.
