Mjolnir slammed heavily into the ground in front of Thor.

The next second, Syd's body moved slightly as he turned around in mid-air.

Amid the stunned gazes of the others, Syd was about to fly away when he suddenly paused, glanced back at Tony and the others, and said mysteriously, "We will meet again."

With that, the sound of him breaking through the air echoed as Syd quickly flew off into the distance, disappearing from their sight.

He's gone just like that?

Tony and the others were left bewildered, confusion settling in their minds.

"We'll meet again?"

What does that mean? Frowning, Tony suddenly recalled something and turned to Thor, asking curiously, "Do you know this guy?"

"Did you recognize who he was just now?"

He was thinking about the words that mysterious figure had said before leaving.

Steve also turned his gaze to Thor, equally puzzled.

In the distance, Loki, who overheard their conversation, narrowed his eyes slightly, and after a moment, memories flashed through his mind, and he suddenly realized something with a shocked expression.

At that moment, Thor glanced at them, slightly excited as he said, "That guy had red light in his hands!"

"I think I know who he is!"

"He might be the one I've been looking for—my kin!"

As he continued speaking, Thor's expression turned anxious, muttering to himself, "He might also be my brother..."

Upon hearing this, Loki's heart was filled with complex emotions—resentment, bitterness...

Tony and Steve, on the other hand, were stunned.

"Brother?"

"That man is your brother?"

Tony asked in surprise.

Thor, calming down from his initial excitement, replied hesitantly, "I'm not sure, but I think so."

"He might also be my father's child. That mysterious divine power—ordinary Asgardians don't have it!"

Hearing this, Tony and Steve exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment in each other's eyes.

Suddenly, Tony asked hesitantly, "That guy who might be your brother, his power is really that strong?"

"Compared to him, your power..."

"Such incredible power..." Tony murmured in amazement.

Although Tony didn't finish his sentence, Thor understood what he was getting at and found himself at a loss for words, feeling embarrassed.

At that moment, he also felt a sense of inadequacy.

"Yeah, why is my power so weak..."

He then thought about his battles with the two Midgardians.

He had struggled even against two mortals...

"If I had his power..."

Thor's eyes were filled with envy.

If he had that kind of power, these two Midgardians wouldn't dare mock him, and even his father would be proud of him! As he continued to think, he recalled the words of that mysterious figure, who might be his brother.

Rune King? Is that really a thing?

Thor looked doubtful.

At that moment, Tony frowned slightly.

He noticed a keyword that Thor had mentioned and muttered, "Red light?"

Prompted by Thor's mention, Tony couldn't help but recall something he had overlooked earlier.

Indeed, when the mysterious figure in black floated into the air, his hands had emitted a faint red glow.

However, due to the overwhelming power and aura of the figure, Tony had dismissed it at the time.

For some reason, the red light felt familiar to Tony. After pondering for a few seconds, something clicked in his mind, and his mouth opened slightly.

"It shouldn't be possible..."

Tony shook his head vigorously, finding his own thoughts amusing.

An Asgardian god, how could he be that white-clad hero, the Omega-level mutant! Tony didn't believe it, thinking he was overthinking.

"It must be a coincidence that the energy just happened to be red..."

The more he thought about it, the more Tony convinced himself.

At that moment, a voice interrupted his thoughts.

"Hey, are you guys done fighting?"

Loki walked out from the shadows with a hint of mockery in his tone.

As Loki approached, both Tony and Steve frowned deeply.

"You didn't run away?" Tony asked suspiciously.

Loki shrugged, "I couldn't just leave you all to face danger alone, could I..."

None of them, not even Thor, believed Loki's words.

The three of them kept a wary eye on Loki.

"What are you up to?" Thor asked suspiciously.

He knew his brother's character better than the two Midgardians did. If Loki didn't have some ulterior motive, he wouldn't have stayed behind. He should have escaped the moment the fight started.

For all he knew, this might just be an illusion left behind...

Thinking of this, Thor paused and quickly stepped forward to punch Loki in the shoulder. When he heard a painful grunt, he finally relaxed.

But at the same time, he grew even more confused.

Although he didn't understand what Loki was up to, they decided to capture him anyway.

After fighting alongside the two Midgardians, Thor glanced at them and decided to cooperate for now.

Just then, Natasha, who had been watching the battle, piloted a jet over to them.

As the jet landed, the three of them forced Loki aboard.

Soon, the sound of the jet's engines roared to life.

Natasha piloted the jet, carrying the group toward the helicarrier floating at an altitude of ten thousand meters.

In the distance, watching the jet fly away, Syd narrowed his eyes and quietly followed.

...

High up in the sky, a massive helicarrier floated silently.

Inside, a squad of soldiers escorted Loki to a holding cell.

Before long, Loki was placed inside a specially designed glass and metal cell.

"If you even so much as scratch that glass..." Nick Fury, clad in his black leather jacket, with his single eye fixed on Loki, warned, "This cage will drop from nine thousand meters straight down, with you inside!"

"Got it?"

As he issued the warning, Nick Fury demonstrated the mechanism for Loki.

Finally, noticing Loki's foot hovering near the glass, he added, "Ant, your foot."

Loki chuckled as he pulled his foot back, "This is quite the design. But I take it, it wasn't made for me, was it?"

Nick Fury gave him a sidelong glance, "The thing it was designed for is much meaner than you."

"I've heard, a raging beast." Loki smiled, "How desperate must you be to have brought such a creature on board to protect you?"

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Dr. Banner, the Hulk.

Nick Fury frowned slightly but didn't respond. Instead, he turned his attention to Thor, Banner, and the others.

"Can you tell me what happened when you captured Loki?"

He had heard from Tony and the others that quite a few things had happened during Loki's capture.
