Marvel: Killing Makes You Stronger

Chapter 243: Failed Mission



Chapter 243: Failed Mission

From the very beginning, Loki's plan to establish the foundational strategic objective of hunting down Thanos was this.

Thus, the objective was achieved, and Bella even managed to destroy one of Thanos's fleets.

From a strategic perspective, as a king, Loki should be pleased.

However, Loki is not yet a king, or rather, he has not ascended to the throne. Although his character and mindset have matured, he still retains a part of his original personality.

Loki has never been a generous person.

On the contrary, he is somewhat petty.

Thanos's various actions humiliated Loki, especially as Thanos managed to escape multiple times despite being pursued by five people, which further shamed him.

Thus, Loki is very angry, extremely angry.

However, he did not blame Thor, Wanda, or others. Leaving Thor aside, he found the rest to be satisfactory in terms of identity, power, and character, considering them his only friends.

Moreover, he participated fully in this battle, and everyone exerted their efforts.

In the siege of Thanos, Wanda, Bella, and Pietro's contributions were perhaps even more significant than his own.

If he were to blame them, what would that make him?

So, Loki directed his fury towards the Grandmaster. If it weren't for this damned guy, Thanos wouldn't have escaped.

Standing beside Thor, looking out of the floor-to-ceiling window at the "Devil's Anus" ahead, Loki gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence: "Grandmaster, he is courting death. He must pay for what he has done."

"His foolishness let an enemy that Asgard should have judged escape."

Loki had marked the Grandmaster as an enemy.

He was already contemplating how to kill the Grandmaster. Loki knew that with his current strength and Asgard's situation, killing the Grandmaster wouldn't be easy, but Loki was always confident. Even without Wanda and the others' help,

He and his brother Thor would soon grow to the level of Celestial.

Once they reached the Celestial level, their strong foundational abilities would make their combat power soar to unimaginable heights, and they would undoubtedly wage war against the Grandmaster.

Additionally, they could announce to the universe that even without Odin, Asgard still has Loki and Thor, who have grown into kings.

"It's really troublesome. If that guy really escapes, it will be difficult for us to continue the pursuit."

Bella frowned.

She usually appeared quiet and gentle, without any aggressive demeanor, but this did not mean she was so docile. Underneath her gentle character, she harbored a spirit of adventure and thrill.

After experiencing so much and elevating her life level,

She was well-versed in and adapted to these higher-level game rules.

The strong are the strong, the enemy is the enemy, and there is no mercy. If someone is an enemy, they must be physically eliminated. Thus, when hunting Thanos, she did not hold back at all.

Various violent elemental magics fully demonstrated the remote artillery role Bi Xiao attributed to her.

The overwhelming, fast, and violent magic left Thanos with no way out. Several times when Thanos tried to counterattack, he was forced back by her elemental spells.

Thanos even considered killing Bella first, but not only were there Thor, Loki, and others besieging him, but Bella herself was also comprehensively strengthened in terms of life level, speed, strength, etc., not inferior to Thanos. Plus, her vast elemental magic, defense, retreat, and countermeasures were abundant.

Thanos hated Bella immensely but was helpless. It can be imagined how ruthless Bella was.

Bella wasn't stubborn, but if she marked someone as an enemy, she would ensure their complete destruction. If not, she considered it a failure.

This attitude was mainly influenced by Bi Xiao.

Bi Xiao's philosophy was always to either raise or annihilate the enemy, with no middle ground.

This tradition subtly influenced the others as well.

From Bella's perspective, Thanos was not particularly troublesome. After all, in this siege, she didn't even summon her Angewomon. Her main goal was to hone her life level through this battle.

Looking far ahead, the Angewomon was too overpowered at the sub-Celestial level. If she summoned it, Thanos wouldn't even have the chance to escape.

A charge from the Angewomon wasn't something a sub-Celestial could react to.

It would be a complete crush.

Thus, Bella and Wanda didn't regard Thanos as an exceptionally high-level threat. Even in a one-on-one fight, they wouldn't fear him.

...

However, what made Thanos troublesome was his scheming nature and the fact that he now possessed the Power Stone.

Combined with his exhibited characteristics, he was a considerable nuisance.

This made Bella somewhat regretful.

This siege battle was essentially a failure.

"This guy is indeed hard to deal with. So, what do we do next?" Pietro, with his hands behind his head, looked relaxed. The chase after Thanos had given him the thrill of battle and pursuit, and his interest in this interstellar journey hadn't waned.

Whether to continue or go home, he didn't mind. Of course, if they continued, that would be better.

He was in no hurry to return.

"Thor, Loki, what about you?" Wanda didn't answer Pietro's question but looked at Thor and Loki.

Thor and Loki glanced at each other, and the former spoke: "The Nine Realms are still relatively peaceful, but we must first return to report this mission to Father. We will follow Father's orders."

They had permission to pursue Thanos.

Failing to capture him, they needed to report the progress, and Odin would decide the next steps. Though they were princes, they couldn't act solely on their own will.

Hearing this, Wanda nodded: "Then you go back first. We might wander in the universe for a while longer.”
