Li Chengfeng and Dr. Liang Liang walked out of the Warden's building side by side, but they didn't see any signs of a fight.
Instead, they saw the three Asgardian siblings studying the giant lying on the ground.
"By Odin! Is this thing really human? I've never heard of a Midgardian human growing to this height."
"My dear brother, if you haven't seen it before, don't shout and reveal your ignorance. It's like Thor entering New York City; look at how ignorant you are!"
"Both of you shut up! Did you forget what I just taught you!?"
Hela at this moment was neither like a goddess nor an elder sister, but a resolute commander, teaching her young soldiers how to deal with various enemies encountered in cosmic warfare.
"When facing an enemy with overly strong defense and endurance, you either accumulate enough power to unleash a full-strength attack that surpasses their defense, breaking through a single point to shatter the whole."
"Or, use the advantage of speed and magic to focus attacks on weak organs!"
"Once you're on the battlefield, don't think of yourself as a god!"
Hela's teachings could be said to be strict and effective. Loki had been disciplined by Hela in this state for nearly a month, so he was naturally used to it by now.
But Thor, who had only recently reunited with his family, clearly hadn't had enough beatings, and actually retorted, sticking out his neck:
"What my elder sister said is different! You… didn't you still call yourself 'Death Goddess' every time you hit me!?"
However, this question was taken over by Li Chengfeng.
"Nonsense, when your sister was beating you, she didn't consider it going to war at all."
That was domestic violence!
Of course she had to bring out the name of Death Goddess to suppress you!
Thor was so squeezed by Li Chengfeng's words that he tried to open his mouth several times to say something, but finally gave up.
By Odin!
It was one thing to be unable to defeat his elder sister, who was a thousand years older, but it seemed he was no match for this so-called "FBI agent" from Midgard either…
Plus, he had been imprisoned for so long by a powerful Dimensional Devil God!
Midgard was too complicated; he wanted to go back to Asgard.
It wasn't that he was scared, he just missed his Mother, Frigga.
Loki chuckled stealthily.
He was all too familiar with that expression on Thor's face.
Now, Thor's worldview had been completely shattered by repeated beatings and was beginning to be rebuilt from the ruins.
He had worn the same expression when he was getting beaten up.
Regarding this matter, Loki actually had a secret, even Li Chengfeng didn't know about it.
Li Chengfeng only knew that he was directly sent flying by the Kansas Big Guy and finally captured alive by Dr. Doom in the green robe.
But he didn't know that he had suffered more than just those two beatings.
The Kansas Big Guy's punch directly hammered him from Metropolis to New York.
If that was a physical Iron Fist.
Then what he endured in New York was a magical obliteration.
After an hour of freefall, he was finally thrown into Latveria.
Thinking of this, all the hairs on Loki's body stood on end.
He had to become stronger!
Even just to get by comfortably on Earth, he had to change this passive situation of getting beaten wherever he went.
But as for Thor's brain, let him slowly figure it out, ha!
"So, this on the ground is the body you previously abandoned?"
Li Chengfeng asked Dr. Liang Liang.
"That's right, it was originally just a thin and not very tall man. I never expected that the power of that 'Red Tank' could make someone so burly and strong. I wish I had known earlier, I would have tried it. I've never experienced a body this strong."
Li Chengfeng frowned, not because he had any issues with Dr. Liang Liang, but because the face beneath the Red Tank's helmet seemed somewhat familiar…
That's not right?
How could Red Tank possibly be exhausted and fall to the ground!?
"Hela, what happened to him? How did he lose his combat ability and end up lying here? What's the situation?"
"It seems you dealt with the source of that scarlet, strange power… and you successfully manipulated it?" Hela looked at Li Chengfeng, who had changed color, with some surprise. "I could feel that in that instant, the sense of distortion in this space instantly vanished, and then this thing calling itself 'Setorak' lost its Heavenly Father-level power, leaving behind a phrase 'Playtime's over,' and then it became like this."
Li Chengfeng nodded.
Because Red Tank's original soul was occupied and destroyed by a trace of Setorak's consciousness, and then, due to Setorak's departure, it completely became an empty shell.
It didn't revert to its original state simply because it was still wearing Setorak's matching armor.
"So, my dear God Queen, you still haven't answered me, did your Green Lantern Ring undergo a mutation, or did you find another color of Lantern Ring?"
"My God King, please allow me to introduce you, this is the Red Lantern, wielding the red of rage."
Li Chengfeng, with a flourish, held the Lantern Furnace forward, and then…
Nothing happened.
"Huh?"
Li Chengfeng was stunned.
Had he been wrong in his judgment all this time?
The Red Lantern Corps placed before Hela, yet no reaction?
That shouldn't be right!?
Generally, being treated as a crown prince, marshal, or even a comrade by one's own father for thousands of years, and then being betrayed by the father and sealed on Midgard for thousands of years.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say there's monstrous hatred, right?
You know, in a certain messed-up Universe, there's a similar character who made his father sit on a golden toilet for life, unable to get off, only able to pass the time by playing with that broken speaker every day!
But why was there… no reaction at all in front of Hela?
But Li Chengfeng wasn't the kind of idiot who would get stuck in a rut just because he couldn't understand something.
He firmly believed in one saying:
There's nothing difficult in the World, as long as you're willing to give up.
Whatever.
Instead, his attention was immediately drawn to the "empty shell" of the Red Tank on the ground.
Even though it had swelled to over four meters tall and its face was somewhat distorted, it felt strangely familiar.
Li Chengfeng reached out to remove the Red Tank's iconic hemispherical helmet, but unexpectedly, the last trace of red light on the empty shell was absorbed by the Red Lantern Ring.
Subsequently, the armor turned to dust, and the swollen, distorted body returned to its original state.
Li Chengfeng wiped his face.
Good heavens.
Isn't this T-bag, whom he had mentioned several times before the mission began?
What kind of World line convergence is this?
Starting with complaining about T-bag, ending with complaining about T-bag.
And in between, where does it have anything to do with Prison Break!?
Oh right, it actually does.
Thor, that big oaf, really did break out of prison.
