Chapter 144: Dark Elf Invasion

In Loki's cell, a brutal and relentless assault was taking place.

Loki felt as though he was back in the days when he was routinely beaten, but this time it was a mixed match. The difference was that Sif had been replaced by the more aggressive Jane Foster.

"This one is for New York!" Jane declared as she landed a slap, finding her hands growing tired.

"It's one thing to disrespect your older brother, but how dare you show such disregard for your mother?" Thor was attacking from all directions.

Frigga did not intervene; Loki had gone too far and deserved the punishment.

Thor created a portal: "Jane, you and the queen should return first. I need to discuss things with Loki." He sent them both away.

"She's not my mother! You're not my brother!" Loki roared angrily. His outburst sounded more like the cry of a victim than a strong condemnation, and it only made Thor's attacks more intense...

"Hmph..." Thor rubbed his sore arms and complained, "I'm done beating you for now. I'm exhausted—beating people is hard work..."

Loki's expression was one of intense anger.

"Alright, we're not in a good mood today, and we can't have a meaningful discussion. I'll deal with you another time."

Thor turned and left... Meanwhile, he remained hidden in the shadows, observing a burly dark elf in the cell opposite Loki. It was clear that this dark elf was about to become a cursed warrior.

"Hello, I'm Jane Foster, Thor's girlfriend from Earth..." Jane said nervously to Frigga.

Unlike Odin, who saw her as a potential new goddess, Frigga's gaze was more focused on her future daughter-in-law.

"Thor, you scoundrel, you don't even accompany your parents when they visit!"

"Don't be nervous, my dear. Thor has told me about you, and I am aware of your experiences together."

A loud noise interrupted them.

"Is something wrong with the prison?"

"Thor is still there, and there shouldn't be any major issues."

Inside the prison, the cursed warrior suddenly broke out, smashed through the prison gate, and released a large number of prisoners.

Most of these prisoners were vicious and malevolent, and their sudden freedom led to an immediate riot. They rushed towards the door, which was blocked by Thor.

"If you go back to your cell now... forget it, it's too crowded. Just make some room."

Thor punched the prisoner in front of him, smashing his helmet and forehead with a single blow.

The prisoners were terrified by his decisive action, but soon, they surged forward in a desperate mob, including the cursed warrior.

As for Jane, Thor wasn't worried. Firstly, the cursed warrior was being held back, and secondly, Jane's strength was comparable to his own during the original events.

Loki watched the scene in silence. His brother once again displayed his cunning, effectively managing both the confrontation and the enforcement.

Thor, who had been hiding in the shadows, deliberately waited for the prisoners to riot before making his appearance.

On the Bifrost, Heimdallr suddenly sensed an unidentified flying object approaching.

He swiftly climbed a nearby tower, leaped onto an invisible object, and struck it with his guardian sword.

The invisible object revealed itself as a black fighter plane unlike any seen before.

As a warrior nation, Asgard's response was swift. Almost immediately after the fighter plane appeared, alarms began to sound.

Realizing that the stealth attack had failed, the dark elves no longer hid their presence. Countless black fighter planes surged to confront Asgard's forces.

On one side, there was a hasty counterattack; on the other, a meticulously planned assault. The two sides were evenly matched, with Asgard's strength and readiness on full display.

Heimdallr recognized that halting the dark elf invasion was becoming increasingly difficult. He raced to the Bifrost control room, raised the guardian sword, and prepared to activate the switch to open the protective shield around the Golden Hall.

If the protective shield was activated and Thor could hold back the cursed warriors from destroying the shield generator, the dark elves' invasion would end in failure.

At that point, they would face Asgard, which would have fully unleashed its military might. A steel torrent of countless fighter planes and spaceships would overwhelm any enemy.

At that moment, a dark elf fighter suddenly changed direction and hurtled towards Heimdallr. The dark elf pilot shouted an incomprehensible slogan.

Caught off guard by the incoming fighter plane, Heimdallr was knocked aside. The guardian sword fell from his grasp before he could insert it into the switch.
