Heroes of Marvel

Chapter 1121: Carrying Off

…

Ten minutes later, following a golden blink of light, Wong and his group of Sorcerers departed with Loki, who was still shackled. Although both Captain Rogers and Tony were very reluctant to hand Loki over to Wong’s group, the latter had better reasons and more formidable power.

When Wong initially requested to take Loki, Captain Rogers had refused. While he didn’t regard Sorcerers with the same disdain as Jack did, his opinion was still fairly neutral.

However, Wong explained that Sorcerers had always had connections with Asgard. Given that Loki’s arrival on Earth should have been communicated with Sorcerers beforehand, it made sense that Sorcerers should handle the situation.

Although they had arrived after Loki had been subdued and shackled, just as they intervened when Kaecilius severely injured Lin Rui.

Faced with Wong’s explanation, Tony was the first to reject it, clearly stating that they wouldn’t hand Loki over. Similarly, SHIELD, representing them on the surface, wouldn’t agree either. Thus, a standoff emerged.

Even Lin Rui’s intervention couldn’t resolve the issue. Thor, on the other hand, leaned towards letting the Sorcerers take Loki. At the very least, the Ancient One and Odin had some rapport, and they had the strength to keep Loki in check.

Thor was truly concerned that if Loki stayed in SHIELD, he might break out the next day and wreak havoc, even destroying Washington.

Therefore, when both sides couldn’t reach a consensus, conflict became inevitable. However, before Tony and the others could react, numerous golden magical chains suddenly emerged from the desert beneath them, immobilizing them completely.

“Roar! Hulk!!…”

Swoosh!

Just as Hulk shattered the magical chains binding him, a magical portal appeared beneath him, directly transporting him away. Afterward, Wong and his group calmly picked up Loki from the ground and left, right before Tony and the others’ eyes.

As the last sorcerer entered the magical portal, the golden circle disappeared rapidly before Rogers and the others. In the instant the magical portal vanished, the golden magical chains that had imprisoned them also shattered into golden lights, and Tony and the others regained their freedom.

“These Sorcerers!! I’m growing more and more irritated by them!” Tony swiped his hand, dispersing the golden dots of light around him, and grumbled with an unpleasant expression.

Tony had always been excessively proud and arrogant. Although he had improved significantly after becoming Iron Man and shouldered many significant responsibilities, some things were ingrained. However, Tony’s pride held no weight among Sorcerers. To them, all other Earthlings were essentially the same.

“Tony, let it go. After all, Loki is trouble. Letting them take him might be a good thing for us. Otherwise, who knows, Loki might destroy SHIELD headquarters tomorrow. Don’t underestimate him.” Seeing Tony and Captain Rogers both looking displeased, Lin Rui tried to defuse the tension.

“So what if he’s trouble? I like to solve those troubles. I don’t need others worrying about it for me! Besides, even if SHIELD can’t hold him, Stark Industry can.” Upon hearing Lin Rui’s words, Tony retorted without mincing his words.

“Well…” Since Loki had been taken away by Wong’s group, there was no point in saying more. They had to accept this outcome.

Clatter, Clatter, Clatter!

“Where’s Loki?! Where did you take Loki!?”

While Tony and the others were displeased by Loki being taken away by Sorcerers, Thor, who had been smacked away by Hulk, finally returned. However, despite Thor’s return, he didn’t find Loki anywhere; even the colossal Hulk who’d swatted him was nowhere to be seen.

“Jackson! Where’s Loki?” With no one answering his question, Thor marched up to Lin Rui.

“Thor, Loki was taken away by Sorcerers. He’s no longer under our control,” Lin Rui explained helplessly, seeing Thor’s anger.

“Sorcerers? Ancient One took Loki away?” Thor’s tone softened as he continued to inquire upon hearing Lin Rui’s response.

“Ancient One didn’t come, but he must have sent those Sorcerers to take Loki away.”

“If Loki has been taken to the Sorcerers’ side… there shouldn’t be any issues…” Confirming that Loki had been taken by Sorcerers, Thor blinked his eyes a few times and muttered to himself.

While SHIELD might not have been able to contain Loki due to his unique identity, Sorcerers were a different matter. With the presence of Ancient Onesorcerer(s), Loki wouldn’t cause trouble. Moreover, being taken away by Ancient Onesorcerer(s), even if he was locked up or given a scolding, wouldn’t be a particularly embarrassing ordeal for Loki. At most, it would be akin to an elder giving him guidance.

“Well, where’s that big guy then? I want a one-on-one with him!” Since Loki was no longer around, Thor decided to let go of that matter and focused on finding Hulk, who had smacked him away earlier.

“Um… he…” Hearing that Thor was looking for Hulk, Lin Rui wasn’t sure how to respond. After all, he didn’t know where Wong had sent Hulk.

Buzzing!

Swoosh!

Just as Lin Rui was grappling with how to answer Thor, a golden magical portal suddenly appeared in the air nearby. Following that, Hulk emerged directly from within the portal, dropping onto the desert ground with a thud.

Upon Hulk’s reappearance, Rogers and the others turned their attention to him. Amid their gazes, Hulk’s massive form rapidly shrank on the sandy surface, eventually transforming back into Dr. Banner.

Struggling within the sand pit for a few moments, Dr. Banner, looking rather disheveled, pulled himself out of the pit with his “divine tool,” his oversized pants, in his hands. Google seaʀᴄh (f)ir(e).nᴇt

“Dr. Banner?! Are you alright?” Seeing Hulk’s transformation back into Dr. Banner, Captain Rogers hurried over and asked with concern.

“I’m fine… just a bit dizzy… felt like I was in freefall from a high place for a while, falling for a long time, almost like a dream,” Dr. Banner said as he shook his head in response to Rogers’ inquiry, seeming somewhat unclear about what had just happened.

“Um… you were indeed in freefall, but that’s all over now. Hulk did well this time.” Seeing Dr. Banner’s puzzled expression, Captain Rogers awkwardly explained.

“Is that so? I think I need a rest.” Clearly not fully recovered, Dr. Banner sat down on the desert ground while clutching his oversized pants.

Just as Dr. Banner settled down, someone approached.
