Chapter 1112: Should be Worried

Even though Loki had indeed destroyed the colossal Iron Man suit, J.A.R.V.I.S.s diagnostics indicated that many of the fallen components had temporarily malfunctioned.

Most of them retained their basic functionality, and they could be recovered, repaired, and put back into use.

Furthermore, given that Tony had created such a ma.s.sive Iron Man suit to counter potential extraterrestrial invasions or to confront a rampaging Hulk, it was unlikely that he would have only prepared one set of armaments.

In the sky above the crater, a shuttle-shaped metal aircraft had been hovering since the appearance of the giant Iron Man suit. This shuttle-shaped craft served as the logistical hub for the giant Iron Man suit, containing at least three sets of interchangeable weapon components.

So, as long as Tony was willing, it wouldnt take him much time to create another giant Iron Man suit. However, now that his Iron Man army had arrived, along with s.h.i.+ELDs forces, Tony felt that he didnt need to deploy all his trump cards.

Um Tony, well the person who dismantled your Iron Man suit did come from Asgard, but this time it wasnt because of something I did! He came over on his own and immediately attacked us, Lin Rui awkwardly explained in response to Tonys questioning.

You messaged that this person was a threat, and it seems his threat level isnt low. Also, didnt you say Asgard is an ally of Earth? Why would this guy who came from there take action against you? Tony continued his rapid approach while questioning Lin Rui.

Initially, Tony had been very skeptical, even hostile, towards extraterrestrial civilizations like Asgard. Especially when they first appeared and took Lin Rui away right from his grasp, only to lose him later. However, during the Dark Elf invasion of Earth, the support from Asgard changed Tonys perspective.

Moreover, after Lin Ruis return and his explanations, Tony set aside his biases against Asgard. Instead, he had developed an interest in this G.o.d-like race, which was different from Earths development. However, Lokis current behavior made Tony wary of this enigmatic realm once again.

Well the situation is quite complicated. Ill explain it to you after this is all over. Right now, lets focus on the immediate issue. Oh, and hes different from Thor. Hes a sorcerer. His strength might not be high, but his magic is quite extraordinary. Dont underestimate him, Lin Rui finally said, vexed by Tonys continued questioning, resorting to an explanation and a warning.

A sorcerer? I see. J.A.R.V.I.S. has already a.n.a.lyzed quite a bit of information. Well handle him. You really cant keep yourself from getting hurt even for three days, huh? Tonys tone softened after Lin Ruis reminder.

Through J.A.R.V.I.S.s scan of the craters condition moments ago, Tony had already seen the sorry state of Lin Rui and Jack. Of course, he didnt know that the injuries that made Lin Rui look so battered were from his clash with Thor, not Loki. However, Lin Rui wouldnt bring that up with Tony.

Yeah, well leave it to you. Be careful, Lin Rui said earnestly as he spotted the dots outside the crater approaching.

Subsequently, Lin Rui temporarily ended the conversation with Tony. However, he remained in communication with J.A.R.V.I.S. This way, he could stay updated on the ongoing battle outside.

As Lin Rui concluded the conversation with Tony, Loki, who had been floating above the crater, had already charged forward. Evidently, he wouldnt wait in one place for the impending attack.

With Loki out of sight, Lin Rui had no intention of lingering at the bottom of the crater. He supported Jack as they approached Thor, who still appeared dazed on the opposite side.

Thunk!

Upon reaching Thors side, Lin Rui placed a hand on his shoulder. Although Lin Ruis touch wasnt forceful, it made Thor start and break his gaze from above.

What?! Why did you do that? Recovering from his daze, Thors eyes finally regained focus, and he blurted out instinctively after Lin Rui had patted him.

What? Dont you have anything to say about the current situation? Thor, thats your brother! Seeing Thors bewildered expression, Lin Rui asked with exasperation.

Well look at me now. Do you think I can do or explain anything? Thor, now fully alert, responded with a sense of resignation upon hearing Lin Ruis words.

While Loki had been battling Jack earlier, Thor had remained relatively calm. He knew Loki wasnt truly serious then, and even if Jack had been injured, it wasnt anything major.

However, the appearance of the giant Iron Man suit had genuinely infuriated Loki. After the battle between the colossal Iron Man suit and Loki, Thor had maintained his dazed expression all the way till now.

On one hand, Thor was taken aback by the giant Iron Man suits ability to suppress Loki. On the other hand, Lokis furious retaliation after being subdued posed a headache for Thor. With Thors current state of recovery, he knew he wouldnt be able to handle Loki when he was both serious and angry.

However, based on the battle between Loki and the giant Iron Man suit earlier, Thor felt that Lokis subsequent confrontations might not be as straightforward.

Well, you cant just stand around here. You have to think of a solution! While I have confidence in my friends, we cant just let this battle keep escalating. The outcome of that fight isnt something we want. Seeing Thors frustrated expression, Lin Rui scolded him.

You saw it too Heimdall didnt respond to my call. Even if I intervene now, Loki wont listen to me. You guys really got him angry. The best solution seems to be summoning the Ancient One. He is the most capable individual to stabilize the current situation, Thor continued, spreading his hands in a gesture of helplessness.

The best way to prevent Loki from causing trouble on Earth was to send him back to Asgard. However, with Heimdall not responding to Thors summons and Bifrost unable to descend, seeking the a.s.sistance of a more powerful figure seemed necessary.

Among the options, the Ancient One was the best candidate to handle the current situation. After all, the Ancient Ones abilities could be compared to Odins in his prime.

Ancient One? If theres really no other way, well have to bite the bullet and seek help. I dont think the Ancient One would truly ignore us, Lin Rui mumbled with a furrowed brow upon hearing Thors words.

Subsequently, Lin Rui and Tony didnt continue with pointless talk in the crater; they began to climb out of it instead.
