Let me show you a new way Chapter 141

The surgery was a success.

Strange left the operating room, feeling a bit tired. He sat alone in the lounge, pressing his temples.

He could feel a dull ache in his left hand, the fatigue in his brain, but he also felt something calling to him.

Then he saw it…

A dazzling cyan light descended from the sky. After circling briefly, it flew into Strange’s chest.

[Intelligent life locked…]

[Stephen Strange from Earth…]

[You possess an infinitely compassionate heart…]

[Welcome to the Blue Lantern Corps…]

In an instant, brilliant cyan light bloomed around Strange. His body was enveloped by a strange energy substance and, subconsciously, molded into a cyan uniform.

A cyan robe appeared on his body, with a large round buckle on the chest. Strange instinctively understood the meaning of the strange pattern depicted on the buckle.

It was compassion.

Strange’s feet slowly lifted from the ground. A peculiar staff emerged from a beam of cyan light, grasped tightly in Strange’s left hand.

He seemed to understand something, to comprehend something.

Strange extended his trembling left hand. The bandages wrapped around it broke off like butterflies, scattering to the ground. His left hand had healed, but the internal nerve damage was irreversible. In his haste to save the patient, he had missed the optimal treatment time for his left hand.

But Strange had no regrets…

He was a doctor; he had sworn to save lives, and he had upheld and acted upon his oath.

With his trembling left hand, Strange gripped the staff tightly. A strong cyan light erupted from his palm, illuminating the entire hospital.

Then he raised the staff high.

[In fearful day, in raging night,]

[With strong hearts full, our souls ignite,]

[When all seems lost in the War of Light,]

[Look to the stars—for hope burns bright!]

Cyan light emanated from the staff. Strange, now clad in a cyan robe, holding a staff, and floating in the air, resembled a legendary sorcerer…

At the lounge door, Christine Palmer stared blankly, mouth agape, at Strange, who was floating in the air, enveloped in cyan light.

“What the f—”

————————

Asgard.

A massive starship hovered in the blue sky.

It was a dark starship, with two streams of light喷射 from the cannons at its front, constantly stabilizing the spatial portal leading to Earth.

However, beneath the starship, two invisible figures soared upwards, steadily approaching the colossal starship in the sky.

“Are you sure we’re okay doing this? I mean, this is a damn starship! I suspect one shot from its main cannon could wipe out half of America!” Dr. Banner said in a hushed voice as he flew.

“Then say less, and I can save a bit of magic, which will effectively reduce our chances of being discovered!” Loki also whispered.

Loki was talented in illusion magic. This talent, unlike his ice magic, wasn’t inherited through bloodline but seemed to be an innate gift, a talent of his soul.

His mother, Queen Frigga, was an exceptionally skilled illusionist. Under Frigga’s tutelage, his illusion skills surpassed hers, especially after reading some of Stark’s spellbooks on Earth, which significantly improved his illusion abilities.

Learning how to deceive technological detection devices was a crucial part of Stark’s research into illusion magic. However, Stark habitually attached these spells to his suits, specifically creating a stealth suit that could fool almost any detection device.

After reading these magic books, Loki combined them with Asgardian magic, elevating his illusion magic to an unprecedented level.

The goal this time was to use illusion magic to stealthily infiltrate the Chitauri starship and find a way to sink it.

If the starship wasn’t completely destroyed, then no matter how hard the heroes on Earth fought, they couldn’t stop the seemingly endless Chitauri cannon fodder.

But as long as the starship was destroyed, without the support of the Mother Box energy within it, the portal would automatically close, and the Chitauri’s biochemical cannon fodder would perish on the spot due to losing contact with the main control computer.

Therefore, while the heroes on Earth were the defense line against the alien invasion, Loki and Banner were the assault team saving Earth.

Dr. Banner wore green armor, slowly flying with the power of his watch, while Loki placed a hand on his shoulder, extending his illusion magic.

Loki flew using his ice-white bracers, which were shapeshifting artifacts modified by Lin Dong, with the raw material being the Frost Giants’ supreme artifact, the Casket of Ancient Winters.

Now, the Casket Bracers had transformed into an even more miraculous form: two small, pure white wings unfurled from the sides of the bracers, and flight magic enveloped Loki, allowing him to fly freely in the sky.

Loki did not carry Gungnir. Although this divine artifact contained immensely powerful energy, Loki had not truly gained Gungnir’s recognition and could not truly harness its inner power. Moreover, because it wasn’t fully acknowledged, this artifact wouldn’t automatically return like Thor’s Mjolnir or his own Casket Bracers. Additionally, it was too large and inconvenient to carry. Loki’s mission this time was stealth, not a rampage, so he had no use for that cumbersome weapon.

Gradually, the two approached the side of the colossal starship. Loki extended a hand, drawing circles on the starship’s steel hull, sensing its thickness with his mental perception, slowly pinpointing a spot, and finally opening a golden portal.

On the other side of the portal was the interior of the giant starship. Loki and Banner quickly flew in and closed the portal.

“Based on our external observations, the starship’s control center should be straight ahead,” Dr. Banner surveyed their surroundings, recalling the starship’s full appearance from their earlier invisible observation outside, and estimating their target location.

Loki nodded and continued to stealthily approach their target. They lowered their bodies, treading lightly. Combined with Loki’s spatial and illusion magic, they truly moved freely within the starship, soon reaching the elevator leading to the control room.

Unfortunately, this was as far as they could go. The corridor walls leading to the control room were made of a special Asgardian metal, clearly mined from the Asgardians they had captured and then further processed.

This mineral could interfere with illusionary invisibility and block mental detection. As soon as they stepped out of the elevator and entered the control room, Loki’s magic would completely失效 within seven seconds.

Loki looked at Banner, and Banner looked at Loki. They stared at each other for a moment, both unsure of what to do.

“Hmm… I have an idea,” Loki suddenly stroked his chin, as if remembering something.

“Let’s play ‘Get Help’!”
