Chapter 144: Loki in Action
In the center of the ground floor of the two-story apartment, a magic circle was drawn on the floor. The central design of the circle emitted a blazing white light, illuminating the surrounding runes in a web-like brilliance.
The soul flames summoned by Tiger Lee in this area had not completely extinguished; some continued to burn in the corners, not truly scorching anything but rapidly causing them to wither and decay. This was also the reason why the building had collapsed so quickly under Hatsune Miku's shockwave.
As Sato Ryuseki moved closer, Tiger Lee grew increasingly anxious. Although he did not know the Japanese man's intentions, he understood one thing: since we are opponents, I cannot allow you to make any moves.
Moreover, Sato Ryuseki was approaching the magic circle, clearly planning to do something.
Transformed into Nerathus, Tiger Lee strode forward. Each step of his massive form caused the ground to tremble and emit a rumbling sound. In front of him, Hatsune Miku appeared delicate and fragile by comparison.
Of course, whatever Tiger Lee intended to do would be obstructed by Hatsune.
This time, Hatsune Miku shouted loudly, summoning a spinning green magic circle in each hand. She then pushed forward, creating a transparent magical wall that stood directly in front of Tiger Lee.
Tiger Lee was a complete brute.
Seeing the obstruction, he simply raised his enormous Battle Axe and without hesitation began to chop at it.
The air was filled with the sound of heavy impacts against glass.
The Doll Version Hatsune's power was not that strong; after just a few strikes, the wide magical wall began to crack with alarming fissures.
Behind this wall, at the center of the magic circle, Sato Ryuseki was pulling out a blue Cosmic Cube from his Main God wristwatch space.
The moment this object appeared, it drew nearly everyone's attention. The Cosmic Cube, an Infinity Stone, always captured attention wherever and whenever it appeared.
Bai Luo's eyes narrowed dangerously. He believed that Nick Fury aboard the Aircraft Carrier was likely even more excited than he was—after all, everything stemmed from this Cosmic Cube.
Loki had already handed this Cosmic Cube over to Sato Ryuseki. At that moment, standing aside, Loki's gaze was heavy as if he had no intention of intervening.
With the appearance of the Cosmic Cube, the last hidden Reincarnator from the Buddha Light Team could no longer remain still and struck with thunderous force.
But...
In the first moment of Paitun's attack, Bai Luo saw nothing unusual in the scene that unfolded. All she noticed was something flickering faintly in front of Sato Ryuseki, and then his figure suddenly shifted to the side. In an instant, a burst of blood erupted from his right shoulder—a deep gash.
This attack clearly caught Sato Ryuseki off guard. A certain triggered defensive mechanism surrounding him absorbed most of the force, and his evasive maneuver successfully prevented the blade from striking a vital spot.
Nevertheless, amidst this chaos, Sato Ryuseki lost grip on the Cosmic Cube, which tumbled several times before rolling into a corner. Strangely, the magic circle reacted to the Cosmic Cube, with its runes lighting up one by one at the point of impact. The glow seemed almost alive, swirling around the Cosmic Cube as if it intended to consume it.
From Sato Ryuseki's failure to hold onto such an important item, it was evident that he was indeed an ordinary person without any special abilities; otherwise, he wouldn't have let go of the Cosmic Cube in such a frantic moment.
This scene was clearly unexpected for both Sato Ryuseki and even Bai Luo.
The ability of this Paitun was surprisingly that of an assassin!
It seemed that she had been in a completely invisible state until her sudden strike revealed her presence. The tall figure of Paitun slowly became visible, and not far away, the massive Tiger Lee let out a terrifying laugh.
Instead of rushing to retrieve the Cosmic Cube, Paitun understood the principle of eliminating threats first. She raised her hand and drew a finely crafted pistol from her waist, aiming it directly at him.
This pistol was unlike any weapon known; when she fired, it produced a thunderous sound akin to cannon fire. If this shot hit, Sato Ryuseki would undoubtedly meet his end.
When she chose to strike, it was always with lethal intent.
But...
At that moment, the future figure of Doll Version Hatsune in the air suddenly vanished. In the next instant, she appeared as if teleporting right in front of Sato Ryuseki, using her body and simple defensive techniques to block the shot.
However, her hastily constructed defense proved too fragile; her body took a direct hit, creating a massive cavity without any blood flowing out, adding an eerie sense of surrealism to her expressionless visage.
Yet this attack, potent enough to kill an ordinary person, failed to take her life. She raised her hand, and brilliant white light erupted from it. This light spread out like a web behind her, forming an impenetrable shield that tightly protected Sato Ryuseki within its confines.
From within this protective barrier came Sato Ryuseki's command: "At all costs, retrieve the Cosmic Cube!"
On the other side, Paitun, who had missed her strike, was not one to back down. She immediately whipped her head around and charged toward the Cosmic Cube that had fallen to the ground nearby.
However, before she could get close, a beam of light came rushing in and sent her flying. Taking advantage of the moment when Hatsune Miku was being held back by Tiger Lee, a figure dressed in green with golden goat horns slowly floated in from the other side and landed steadily next to the Cosmic Cube.
This person was none other than Loki.
He had been waiting for this moment and finally chose to make his move.
At that moment, a cold smile appeared on Loki's pale, handsome face. "It seems... you all have your own plans!"
He bent down and reached out, directly picking up the Cosmic Cube.
In the crowd, both Tiger Lee and Paitun changed color in shock. However, not far away, Sato Ryuseki, who was behind a white shield, looked even more panicked. He shouted, " Loki ... handing it over to me is your best choice!"
