The next second.

Loki's body, like a bowling ball, was smashed and flew out.

Bang.

After collapsing a thick brick wall, Loki's figure was buried in a pile of collapsed ruins.

Lifting a fragment of the brick wall above his head, Loki crawled out of the rubble, wiped a trace of blood from the corner of his mouth, and looked at Erin's target, full of piercing killing intent.

"Despicable fellow, you're looking for death!"

Caught off guard, I felt that I was overshadowed by Ai Lin's "small means".

After coming to Earth this time, Loki, who had suffered a lot of losses, no longer dared to be careless.

Loki, who made an angry look on his face, felt a twelve-point spirit in his heart, and even his left hand, which was facing away from Aylin, used his body to cover it and summoned the Ice Crate.

I plan to use the power of the Ice Crate to deal with this abominable Mage Midgard in one fell swoop.

Although in Loki's heart, he preferred the unpredictable psychic scepter that could play with people's hearts, but in dealing with this group of savage Midgardians, Loki found that the power of ice brought by the Ice Crate was more useful.

Therefore, in the strange environment of mirror space, Loki, who had just been overshadowed by Erin, did not hesitate to summon another hole card of his own.

·················

The moment Loki summoned the Ice Crate.

Time in the mirror space is frozen as if the pause button has been pressed.

In this frozen time, only the Ancient One, who had the Eye of Agamotto hanging on his chest, was unaffected, and when everyone was frozen, under the light of the brilliant green light, he walked out of the shadow of the corner of the wall on the side.

At this time, at the center of Gu Yi's eyebrows, a black lotus mark loomed.

Under the influence of the black lotus imprint, the ancient one, who walked out of the shadows on the side, looked at Loki with a touch of murderous intent in his eyes.

For this evil god who started the New York War in the future and caused heavy casualties to the earth, as the guardian of the earth, the ancient one, has no good feelings.

Looking down at Loki, who was half-squatting on the ground, just when the killing intent in Gu Yi's eyes became more and more intense, a trace of clarity once again occupied Gu Yi's eyes.

And the black lotus mark in the center of her eyebrows also silently disappeared in the center of Gu Yi's eyebrows again.

"Now is not the time to do anything to this guy."

After muttering to himself as if he were talking to himself, the Ancient One leaned over and took the ice crate that Loki had just summoned behind him.

Come to Erin, who is also frozen in time.

The ancient one made a seal with one hand, and used a method to mark the back of Ai Lin's eyebrows.

Frozen in time, Arryn shook violently as if his soul had left his body.

Under the pull of that time seal, it didn't take long.

Erin was pulled out of the freeze of time.

After sobering up, Ai Lin saw the ancient one who suddenly appeared in front of him, and his body tensed subconsciously.

However, it didn't take long for Erin to notice the difference around her.

"Ancient One Mage, you're really scaring me."

By controlling his muscles, heart and other organs, Erin made a relieved appearance, turned around and glanced at the surrounding environment that was frozen in time and space, and the unresponsive Loki not far away.

In a slightly shocking tone, he said, "Is this time frozen?" What a powerful ability. ”

This time, there was not a trace of falsehood in Erin's voice.

Although I have known the horror of the power of time for a long time, any conjecture is not as shocking as experiencing it firsthand.

Under this kind of power, the power that he was proud of did not play the slightest role, and just like Loki, he was directly frozen in place.

It's scary.

In Erin's emotion, the ancient one stroked the eyes of Agomoto on his chest, shook his head and said: "Time is a taboo, anyone who peeps at time will eventually pay the price, I ······ It won't be an exception. ”

It seems to be a warning, and it seems to be after saying a word with emotion.

The Ancient One handed the Ice Crate in his hand to Erin.

"This is the treasure of the Frost Giants, the Ice Crate containing the power of the frozen stars, and the treasure that Loki brought from Odin's treasury, I gave it to you, so the rest will be handed over to you."

The moment he took over the Ice Crate from Gu Yi's hand, Erin felt a piercing chill spread along the Ice Crate towards his palm.

Under this biting cold current, Erin's body, which had undergone several transformations and had surpassed the limits of mortals, was instantly frozen and stiffened.

The right hand holding the ice crate formed a layer of frost.

"The Ice Crate is the treasure of the Frost Giant Clan, if you don't have the blood of the Frost Giant Royal Clan, it's better not to touch it directly with your hands."

As soon as the Ancient One's words fell, he just wanted to turn Erin's right hand back into the ancient one before he touched the Ice Crate through time rewind, but he found that Erin's body in front of him had become thin by the way.

In an instant, it became a lifelike paper figure.

After seeing this scene, a trace of surprise flashed in Gu Yi's eyes, and then he turned his head to look at Ai Lin, who had reappeared not far away.

"Interesting."

The golden light in his eyes flashed, as if he understood something, and after shaking his head, he withdrew his intention to make a move.

And the other side.

Through the paper man stand-in, Ai Lin, who got rid of the terrifying cold current just now, looked at the paper man stand-in that was frozen into an ice sculpture not far away, and subconsciously shivered.

"What a terrifying power!"

Seeing that Erin didn't have the slightest intention of stepping forward to touch the Ice Crate again.

Seeing this, Gu Yi had no choice but to reach out and place a magic seal on the body of the Ice Treasure Crate.

From the paper man's body, the Ancient One, who re-removed the Ice Crate, threw it to Erin, and said, "I have placed a seal on the Ice Crate, and now you can take it." After that, if you want to use the power of the Ice Crate, just break the seal I have placed. ”

"The spell to break the seal is 'Naongudo', but if you want to reseal the Ice Crate after you break the seal, you will have to figure out how to do it yourself."

While listening to Gu Yi's words, after taking the ice crate that was thrown by Gu Yi, Erin nodded: "That's enough." ”

Although the ice crate that had been regained was still cold and piercing, the terrifying chill seemed to be locked by the magic seal of the Ancient One, and it never spread along Erin's right hand again.

After playing with the icy blue luster ice crate in his hand for a moment, Erin nodded towards the ancient one.

"Next, leave it to me."

As soon as Erin's words fell, the Ancient One disappeared into the shadows of a building.

And immediately after, the frozen time in the mirror space also flowed again.

·········

Well.

Loki who has just summoned an ice crate.

The lowered eyelids, just a hint of a smile, but directly stiffened in place.

Well.

Feeling the chill that had just appeared in his palm, after it suddenly disappeared, Loki put his left hand behind his back and subconsciously pinched it.

"Smack!"

Loki, who scratched at the air twice and didn't catch the ice crate at all, couldn't care about anything anymore, and turned to look at his left hand behind his back.

When he saw his empty palm.

Just now, there was a hint of excitement in my heart, just like 10,000 grass and mud horses galloping past, extremely complicated.

Damn it.

Where's my Ice Crate?

How could my ice crate suddenly disappear when I was so big?

Obviously I'm ······

Just as Loki was frantically looking for the traces of the Ice Crate, Erin, who was opposite Loki, suddenly said, "Hey, are you looking for this?" ”

Loki, who heard the voice, subconsciously turned his head to look at Erin.

The next second.

His gaze was drawn to the icy crate in Erin's hand that shone with an icy blue sheen.

"How could it be in your hands? Damn thief, give me back my stuff. ”

After seeing that his treasure was stolen by Erin unknowingly, Loki directly raised the spiritual scepter in his hand and sent a light blue spiritual energy wave towards Erin.

But before that psychic energy wave hit, Erin, who had been expected for a long time, instantly appeared dozens of meters away.

Easily dodged Loki's attack.

Loki, who missed the blow, did not stop, but went crazy and fired waves of energy towards Erin.

However, none of these attacks hit Aylin.

After a while.

Wait for Loki's offensive to slow down a bit.

After calculating the rapidly decreasing stand-in paper figures on his body, Erin said lightly: "Don't waste your efforts, you can't beat me." And I'm not a thief. ”

Loki sneered when he heard this: "Heh, if it's not a thief, what is that thing in your hand." ”

"That's what you say!" After deliberately playing with the ice crate in his hand, Erin's face turned cold and said, "Of course, this is the reward for my original prophecy. Since some prince of Asgard is going to pay his debts, I don't mind taking it myself. ”

After speaking.

With a flick of his wrist, Erin directly received the Ice Crate into the Ring of Greed.

After putting away the Ice Crate, Erin said to Loki again, "For the sake of this Ice Crate, I'll give you another piece of news for free!" ”

"In the near future, because of one of your malice, Furica, the queen of the world who cares about you the most, paid the price with her life."

Will Furica die?

How can it be?

Looking at the thief in front of him who had stolen the Ice Crate, a sneer appeared on Roger's face, but just as he was about to refute, in his mind, he suddenly recalled Erin's accurate and incredible prophecy before.

Come to think of it.

Loki hesitated slightly.

Could it really be that something could have happened to my mother?

How is this possible? Mother lives in the heavily guarded Asgard all the year round and never goes out, plus Odin and Tony, a simple-minded fool with developed limbs, how could something happen to him.

As for their own malice, it is even more unlikely.

He will shoot at Thor, and he may also shoot at Odin, but he can't do it against Furica.

Although Loki told himself again and again in his heart that Erin's prophecy could not be true.

But in his heart, there was an ominous premonition.

It was as if a voice was telling him that Arryn's prophecy was about to come true.

No.

No way.

Just when Loki looked up again, trying to grab the mage of Midgard by the neck and tell him that his prophecy was wrong.

Loki suddenly found out.

In front of him, there was no trace of the Mage Midgard for a long time.

Even the eerily silent space before has returned to normal at some point.

And he was back in the abandoned factory.

Listening to the conversation between Hawkeye Clinton and Dr. Servig behind him, in a trance, Loki almost thought that everything he had just experienced was an illusion.

No.

Not an illusion.

Loki, who summoned the Ice Crate several times to no avail, walked out of the abandoned factory with a gloomy face, and then walked in front of the wall he had just "crashed" with his memory.

Looking at the intact wall in front of him, Loki stood in front of it, falling silent.

Because he was too hard, Loki, who was holding the right hand of the Mind Scepter, was a little whitish, and said indignantly in his heart.

"Mage of Midgard, I remember you."

"But I'll prove it, I'll prove your bullshit prophecies wrong."

"This time, I won't fail again."

Loki, who silently swore an oath in his heart.

After returning to the abandoned factory again, without saying a word, he commanded a large number of people whose minds had been controlled by the Mind Scepter to change positions.

Converted this temporary base in an abandoned factory into a more secluded safe house for S.H.I.E.L.D.

········

The other side.

Let Erin take the ice crate from Loki's body, and guide everything back to the Ancient One.

After sending Erin back to Chinatown, he once again stepped into a golden-red portal that burst into sparks.

watched the figure of the ancient one disappear in front of his eyes.

After tossing for most of the night, Erin took a slightly heavy step and returned to his home.

Just entered the room.

Some excited mobs appeared in front of Erin and told Erin that a spatial energy wanted to invade the house, but was blocked by the ability of the [Broken Anchor].

After touching the little monster's smooth head, Erin said, "I already know, you did a good job this time." ”

After complimenting the little monster.

Erin took the Ice Crate to the third floor.

Although he was used by the ancient one this time and became a tool for the other party to weaken Loki, in terms of results, he made a lot of money this time.

As the treasure inherited by the Frost Giants, the Ice Crate is not as good as the Infinity Stones, but it is also one of the few treasures in the Marvel Universe.
