Who tricked You? I was really caught by a terrifying guy back then, okay?! I was stuck in that magic-suppressing cell for a whole year!"
Loki got angry as soon as he heard his brother's words.
Although he used to fool Thor with "the boy who cried wolf" pranks, and probably will continue to do so in the future.
But the one time he sent a distress signal, he was genuinely asking for help!
That was communication across the Universe!
Who would bother to make such a useless thing to fool their own silly older brother?
"And You didn't come to save me either! Look! We saved You!"
After hearing this, Li Chengfeng, as shameless as he was, felt that Loki's expression this time was a bit too ugly.
Since Thor was in Midgard at that moment, it meant that even though he still suspected it might be another prank from Loki, the God of Mischief, after receiving his brother's distress signal, he only thought about it in his mind.
His body, however, was incredibly honest.
He immediately rushed from Asgard to Earth, fearing that something might really happen to his brother.
Sob, sob, sob, he really is a good brother who cares for his younger brother.

Thor didn't notice Li Chengfeng's ambiguous and teasing gaze; instead, he continued to say to Loki with indignation:
"You were imprisoned for a whole year? And in a magic-suppressing cage? Then look at me, I was also imprisoned in this place for a year!"
"Look at these magic circles specifically for divinity! Fifty of them stacked together! I can only accumulate a tiny bit of power and resonate with mjolnir at the fixed time of 10 PM every day, barely moving a tiny bit outside this magic circle!"
"And You! My brother! One of the most excellent magicians in the entire Nine Realms, how can I believe that this magic circle and cage were not prepared by You for me!"
Li Chengfeng understood roughly at this point.
The matter was simple: Thor rushed from Asgard to rescue someone, but ended up trapped himself, believing for a year that his brother was behind it.
Now that he saw his brother, he realized he had been wrong, and his brother had genuinely asked for help.
So, although he was still complaining to his brother, he felt incredibly relaxed, even happy, inside.
This time… his brother finally hadn't lied to him again.
After possessing the Ancestral Green Lantern Ring, although he could only control Will Green Light, his perception of other emotions had also become much sharper.
Li Chengfeng could actually feel that Thor was extremely joyful at this moment, even temporarily forgetting that he was only wearing shorts.
Truly… these two brothers, besides not looking alike, had the exact same tsundere stubbornness.
Thinking of this, Li Chengfeng turned his attention back to Hela.
If tsundere was a family trait, would this tall, mature woman also have such a contrasting charm?
Tsundere might go out of style, but it would always be effective.
And at this moment, this Asgardian Goddess was intently examining the magic circle that Li Chengfeng had destroyed.
"Divinity Countermeasure, magic Suppression, Body Weakening, Nightmare Cycle…"
"How is it, Hela, what have You found?"
"Except for the magic circle used for Divinity Countermeasure, the others are normal magic circles, with nothing strange about them. The key is this magic circle that counters divinity; without this thing, even this blonde weakling could quickly escape the predicament. Although I don't know the origin of this Divinity Countermeasure, I can confirm that it was definitely not created by a magician, but by some higher existence."
Hela turned around, frowning, and walked towards Li Chengfeng…
Once again, she stepped over Thor's backside.
This time, Thor was already awake!
"Hey! You woman are so rude! I am Thor Odinson, the first child of Odin, the All-Father, the God of Thunder of Asgard, the future King of Asgard!"
Hela looked at her golden-haired, foolish younger brother, who knew nothing, and couldn't help but frown.
"The first child? The future King of Asgard?" Hela snorted, "Do You think You are the first person to hear that promise?"
"What is… what is the meaning of this? Who exactly are You?"
"My foolish little brother, You know nothing, Thor Odinson!"
The moment Li Chengfeng heard this, he felt a surge of energy in his chest that wouldn't go up or down.
Finally, he found the best target for his frustration.
Even though Loki had already sensed something was wrong when he saw Li Chengfeng looking around, he was still a step too slow and was grabbed by the shoulder by the "God Queen" designated by his elder sister.
"My dear God Queen My Lord, how may I be of service to You?" Loki tried to break free while changing the subject, "Oh, Wanda and Pietro, those two little ones are still waiting for me! And Harley, we all ran to the portal, aren't You afraid she'll lead the Wanda siblings astray?"
"Is escaping useful now? When Hela proposed to train You all, I warned You many times…" The hand gripping Loki's shoulder continued to apply pressure, even Loki, with his Asgardian physique, found it hard to bear, "Don't let Hela get addicted to phones and social media anymore! Listen to what she just said! It's all Naruto and Game of Thrones, what a mess!"
"God Queen My Lord, listen to my explanation, You know what Big Sister's temper is like. As the decisive Asgardian Crown Prince and Grand Army Commander, if I had the ability and guts to control her, would I have been tricked and threatened by You into signing a 250-year employment contract!?"
Loki also felt wronged. Despite his usual demeanor, in Hela's eyes, he was nothing.
If he behaved well, he was a good brother who only followed his Big Sister's lead.
Once he had rebellious thoughts, he was merely a Frost Giant hybrid.
So, make him supervise Hela?
He would rather attend the psychological counseling sessions that Harley Quinn, that lunatic, held within the Federal Bureau of Investigation every day!
It was only because of his nature as the God of Mischief, his physical constitution, and his grasp of human nature that he was basically immune to mental illness.
Otherwise, he would have to find a way to get a mental illness, to truly get some mental peace.
While Loki was getting his comeuppance from Li Chengfeng, Thor on the other side also started to lose his temper.
"What!? You mean, You are actually my elder sister? The true first child of Odin, the All-Father? The Commander of the Asgardian Army and the Crown Prince of Asgard? No! You heretic Loki! Do not try to deceive me!"
"Hmph, it seems peace has lasted too long. That old man Odin actually managed to raise such a… simple and foolish heir, it seems he truly is old."
Hela had been observing Thor repeatedly, thinking for a long time, but couldn't understand how this person could sit on her former throne as Crown Prince.
Yet, from his personality, Hela actually quite liked this blood-related younger brother. In her past command, there were many warriors as simple yet valiant as Thor.
Even she never disliked such people.
But if someone with this personality became the King of Asgard…
That would be a disaster for the entire Asgard.
In Hela's eyes, Thor, at least the current Thor.
Simply did not have the magnanimity to become a "King."
"Shut up! Even if You truly are my elder sister! I will not allow You to insult Odin, the All-Father!"
As Thor spoke, he forced his still weakened body, using all his strength to raise one hand.
Li Chengfeng saw Thor's movement and silently shifted to the side.
Damn it, this guy doesn't look where he's going when he summons his hammer!
He didn't want to be randomly hit by a hammer.
Besides, he didn't need to solve this; mjolnir's previous Master was standing right here, so what was there to fear?
However, it was Thor summoning Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor, that made Li Chengfeng remember that there were three guys waiting to be thrown into the Federal Bureau of Investigation jail outside.
Although no one was watching them, given their condition and the threats Li Chengfeng had made, they were probably still waiting obediently in place…
Or maybe not so obediently, perhaps Mick Rory was still beating Constantine, who knows.
This time, Constantine really messed up big time.
"Go, bring everyone together, this armed training is over." Li Chengfeng raised his chin at Loki, "After they come, control those three criminals outside."
"Huh? What criminals? You still have time to catch thieves, do You?"
"As an Agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it is my duty to combat crime… And this thief was trying to steal your family's ancestral big hammer, as the party involved, how about You bow to me as a thank You gift?"
"You're crazy!"
Loki rolled his eyes, turned, and went back to the other side of the portal, bringing back the still-lying-down Wanda siblings and Harley Quinn.
The moment the portal closed, everyone just happened to see a war hammer, forged from the core of a dead star, slice through the air, flying directly towards a golden-haired strong man wearing only shorts.
Thor was about to touch Mjolnir, the Hammer of Thor!
Just like Hela, Goddess of Death, standing on the land of Asgard, she would regain her peak glory from back then.
If Thor held the Hammer of Thor, the power sealed within the hammer by Odin's spell would immediately begin to flow back into Thor.
This was also why Thor was mocked as "God of Hammers" in the early days; essentially, his abilities were too powerful and he couldn't perfectly control them.
So, for Thor, mjolnir was both a weapon, a limiter, and an instant-acting Phoenix healing pack.
But…
A slender, well-defined hand, however, was quicker, firmly gripping mjolnir's hammerhead.
Thor's already upturned lips completely froze.
Many years later, Thor Odinson, the All-Father, would always recall this day, clutching his head with both hands and howling at the sky…
"Two inches!"
"Only two inches short!"
