[On the other side, partly to attract attention and partly because he was in a playful mood, Loki flashed with golden light, and then his armor appeared on his body, exactly the same as the one in the previous illusion.]
235: Captain America: I've already fought one like you.
[Then, in a flash, Loki appeared on the red carpet outside the building. His unusual appearance made him stand out awkwardly from everyone else present.]
Some bewildered individuals on the street, watching the fleeing crowd, didn't know what was happening and tiptoed to look in the direction the crowd was running.
Of course, there were also a group of smarter individuals who knew something bad must have happened, the most likely being the emergence of another evil villain.
Loki walked directly onto the main road, facing a speeding car, and unleashed a blue energy beam from his Mind Scepter, blasting the car away.
"Click-clack~ Ya."
The car, blasted away by Loki, slid relentlessly across the ground, leaving a trail of sparks and lightning.
The crowd, having snapped out of their spectator mood, joined the fleeing crowd.
"Kneel down."
A fleeting golden light flashed, and Loki's figure appeared in the blink of an eye at the front of the fleeing crowd, shouting loudly.

Then, one after another, magical clones of Loki, constructed from magic, appeared around the crowd, herding them like sheep to one place.
"magic!"
Wild Shadow's eyes gleamed as he looked at Loki on the light screen. In his pursuit of power to become a Shadow, he naturally didn't care what he was after. Of all those powers, magic was the one he thought about the most.
But then Yeying thought about it again and realized that wanting to learn magic seemed like a pipe dream.
After all, he was just a mortal; how could he possibly enter the realm of Asgard to learn magic?
However, Loki's words were clearly of no use to these people who were only concerned with running away, and seeing that they wouldn't listen to him, Loki raised his voice and shouted.
"I said!"
"Kneel down!"
As Loki shouted, he stomped his Mind Staff on the ground with a thud, the staff emitting a ghostly blue light.
The previously noisy and chaotic crowd instantly fell silent. Then, as the first person knelt, the rest of the crowd followed suit, kneeling before Loki.
Loki looked at the crowd kneeling before him and a smile of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"It's so simple, isn't this just your nature?"
Loki spoke to the kneeling crowd as he spread his arms, and the crowd readily parted to make way for him.
"This is the essence of human nature: you yearn to be conquered, you are weary of chasing after glamorous freedom, and you have lost the joy of life, becoming lost in the struggle for power."
"Just to gain recognition."
Loki's words seemed to possess a magical power, brainwashing and hypnotizing everyone.
"Hey, this guy's brainwashing talk sounds just like those three sirens."
Rainbow Dash watched Loki giving his personal manifesto in the crowd and remembered the three sirens who had used their singing to bewitch others during their singing competition.
"Now that you mention it, it does look somewhat similar."
Yu Huishuo listened to Rainbow Dash's words and then looked at Loki, who was being salted in the crowd inside the light screen.
"You are born servile, and in the end you will all obediently bow down and submit."
"A bunch of nonsense."
Yukino Yukinoshita listened to Loki's speech and felt that Loki's words were just nonsense and deception.
Yukino Yukino sees no one as born servile; all people are born equal. The idea of dividing people into different classes is arrogance and prejudice.
During Loki's speech, an old man slowly stood up and directly refuted Loki's words.
"No one is born servile, and even if it were true as you say, no one would submit to someone like you."
Loki, upon hearing this, was so angry he laughed and retorted.
"There's no one like me."
"There are plenty of people like you."
"Look at this elder, everyone, I'm going to make an example of him."
Loki, too lazy to waste any more words, simply raised his Mind Scepter and pointed it at the old man who had stood up, intending to make an example of him to deter others from arguing with him. They were just a bunch of monkeys; they just needed to obey him.
The moment the blue beam of energy from Loki's Mind Control Scepter shot out, the old man calmly closed his eyes, awaiting his death.
However, the blue energy beam missed the old man. Just as it was about to strike, a blue figure leaped in front of him, its shield deflecting the beam back at Loki.
Loki was also knocked to the ground by the reflected beam, landing on an innocent person crouching nearby. Loki looked up sharply, wondering who had dared to be so audacious.
The blue figure was none other than Captain Steve Rogers, wearing his modified and upgraded suit.
"You know what? Last time I saw someone trample everyone else underfoot, we ended up facing off with knives."
Captain Rogers, shield in hand, walked towards Loki, saying that he had heard Loki's speech earlier.
"Steve Rogers."
"Heh heh heh, outdated people."
Loki watched as Steve Rogers stood up, saying that he had already learned about Steve Rogers from Hawkeye Shirou—an ancient relic frozen for 70 years.
"I'm not outdated."
Rogers simply replied, and a S.H.I.E.L.D. Falcon fighter jet took off into the air. Black Widow Vermouth pressed the weapon button, and a Gatling gun popped out, aimed at Loki.
"Loki, lay down your weapons and surrender."
[Captain Rogers spoke to Loki, who, being ruthless and taciturn, immediately raised his hand and a blue beam of light shot out from the Mind Scepter, heading towards the Falcon fighter piloted by Black Widow Vermouth in the sky.]

[Black Widow Vermouth, who was prepared, also darted to the side in her Falcon fighter jet. Captain Rogers, seeing Loki make his move, hurled his shield at Loki.]
Captain Rogers' vibranium shield struck Loki's magical armor on the chest with a dull thud, but failed to cause significant damage.
[Then Captain Rogers caught the shield that bounced off Loki and swung it at Loki.]
236:king: It's okay, I still have a backup plan.
Captain Rogers hurled an elbow strike at Loki's face. If Loki were an ordinary person, this elbow strike from Rogers, who had been injected with super-soldier serum, would likely have been fatal.
Loki, momentarily stunned by Captain Rogers's attack, then swung his Mind Staff at him. The blade at the tip of the staff was incredibly sharp, sending chills down one's spine at first glance. The blade whistled through the air, but Captain Rogers reacted swiftly, raising his shield to block Loki's thrust.
However, Captain Rogers underestimated Loki's physical abilities as an Asgardian. He was sent flying backwards, quickly rolling several times on the ground to dissipate the force before warily watching Loki.
[Then Captain Rogers swung his shield at Loki, but the same move had little effect. Loki easily knocked the shield away, and then Captain Rogers rushed forward to engage Loki in hand-to-hand combat.]
Loki swung his Mind Staff halfway down, but Captain Rogers dodged it. Taking advantage of Loki's momentary sway, Captain Rogers punched Loki in the kidneys, but the attack had little effect.
Instead, Loki grabbed him by the lower back and sent him flying with his Mind Control Scepter.
[In less than three rounds, Captain Rogers was defeated by Loki. Loki walked up to Captain Rogers and placed the base of the Mind Scepter on the head of the kneeling Captain Rogers.]
Yu Ishigami: ...
Fujiwara Chika: ...
Silver Imperial Traveler: ...
Kaguya Shinomiya: ...
Iino Yako:……
The five watched in silence as Captain Steve Rogers fought Loki hand-to-hand and was then knocked down by Loki. Suddenly, they remembered what Yu Ishigami had said at the beginning.
"Looks like Nick Fury, Director King, is quite the gentleman, huh?"
Yu Ishigami broke the silence by speaking first. He had only said it casually, but he didn't expect that Captain Rogers would actually go alone without any other agents to assist him.
Black Widow Vermouth is an exception; the weapons on her Falcon fighter jet are practically unusable unless she doesn't care about accidentally injuring Captain Rogers or civilians.
"See? Maybe it's just a plan by Director King of S.H.I.E.L.D., like Loki and Hawkeye Shirou playing a diversionary tactic."
"Can't King and Captain Rogers also use feints?"
After thinking for a moment, Shirogane Miyuki said, "After all, no one wants to believe that King really only sent Captain Rogers to fight Loki."
"Yes, yes, that must be it."
Fujiwara Chika hurriedly echoed, after all, she was the first and the most enthusiastic one when Ishigami Yu first spoke, and now that she was proven wrong, Fujiwara Chika could already imagine how Ishigami Yu would secretly laugh at her.
"Kneel down."
"Don't even think about it!"
Loki, pressing his hand against Captain Rogers' head, said, "How could Captain Rogers possibly agree with Loki?" He dodged Loki's grasp in a flash, then leaped up and delivered a Thomas Flair kick to Loki's face.
Loki was also somewhat stunned by Captain Rogers' Thomas-style spinning kick; it wasn't very damaging, but it was extremely humiliating.
[You know, neither his brother Thor nor his father Odin had ever kicked him in the face, yet now he'd been kicked in the face by a monkey he looked down upon.]
"He moved too fast."
