Reborn with Steve Stand

Chapter 45:

Loki, feeling nervous, anxiously interrupted their conversation, asking, "What are your plans?"

Fang Mo completely ignored Loki and took control of Steve, directing him to start digging the Bifrost Bridge.

Thor, lacking the psychic ability or magical training of Frigga, couldn't see Steve, but Loki could perceive his presence.

As Loki witnessed the blocky monster swinging the pickaxe, causing cracks to appear on the Bifrost Bridge, he was momentarily stunned. Soon, he understood their intentionto sacrifice the Bifrost Bridge, the connection between the Nine Realms, in order to save Jotunheim from destruction.

"Thor! Have you lost your mind? If he destroys the Bifrost Bridge, you will never see Jane again!"

Before Loki could finish speaking, a sudden "crack" resonated. Steve had already excavated a piece of the Bifrost Bridge, and as the shrinking block was absorbed into Steve's body, a voice echoed in Fang Mo's mind.

[System Prompt: You have researched the properties of the 'Bifrost Bridge.' Permission granted to download a new module.]

[System Prompt: Downloading the Light Bridge modules.]

"Huh?"

Fang Mo was momentarily stunned upon hearing the voice.

He had assumed that the Bifrost Bridge couldn't trigger any modules, yet it appeared that removing a block was necessary. Did this imply that he had to extract components from other objects to activate their respective modules?

He had acted hastily, presuming that mere contact would suffice.

Now he realized that extraction was required to activate the modules.

With this realization in mind, Fang Mo decided to continue excavating throughout Asgard while Steve proceeded with digging the Bifrost Bridge.

"What kind of magic is this?"

Thor looked at the missing piece of the Bifrost Bridge in astonishment. As previously mentioned, Thor couldn't see Fang Mo's Stand, so in his eyes, a section of the Bifrost Bridge just suddenly vanished on its own. That's why he was puzzled.

Unlike the massive explosion in the original story, Steve's Silk Touch Pickaxe didn't result in an explosion. In fact, as the bridge narrowed, the energy beam between the teleportation points weakened.

"Brother! How could you permit a mortal to destroy the Bifrost Bridge?"

Loki grew even more anxious witnessing this scene. If Jotunheim remained intact, his plan would be ruined. Moreover, when Odin awoke and discovered his actions, he would be infuriated.

With this in mind, Loki impulsively withdrew a dagger from his pocket.

But before Loki could make a move, Fang Mo simply gestured, and with a resounding bang, a large hole appeared in the teleportation area, and the Hellish Cleaver swiftly returned to his hand.

"..."

Upon seeing the weapon capable of splitting the Destroyer in half, Loki immediately backed down.

Loki believed that Thor wouldn't kill him, but Fang Mo's intentions were uncertain.

He didn't want to risk his life against the volatile temperament of this Midgardian.

For Steve, the material of the Bifrost Bridge wasn't particularly tough, so it didn't take him long to break through it.

With the energy supply depleted, the rotation of the teleportation area ceased, and the energy beam gradually weakened and disappeared. The crisis in Jotunheim was finally resolved.

"We did it, Fang Mo!"

Seeing the teleportation area come to a halt, Thor became ecstatic. "Fantastic! We saved an entire race!"

"Yes, yes."

After hearing Thor's words, Fang Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes. "It's because of your family's mess. The Frost Giants in Jotunheim didn't do anything wrong, yet they almost got exterminated because of you."

Thor felt embarrassed by Fang Mo's remarks. "It's not entirely our fault."

"Yeah, that's right."

Fang Mo waved his hand dismissively. "Anyway, you better go and pull out Heimdall's sword. Otherwise, I'm afraid it will go berserk again."

"Alright."

Without much thought, Thor turned and walked towards the teleportation.

During this time, Fang Mo also turned his head to look at Loki.

Loki felt a sense of imminent danger as Fang Mo stared at him. "What... what are you planning to do?"

"I'm wondering if I should throw you down from here," Fang Mo smiled slightly.

"I suggest you not do that." Loki, clearly nervous, quickly started speaking, "After all, I'm the Prince of Asgard. If you do that, it's..."

"It would make you a great hero of Asgard, right?"

Fang Mo wasn't afraid of Loki at all. "Considering the wicked things you've done as a prince, it's normal to throw you into a space rift as an exile."

"That's not an exile, it's murder."

Loki immediately responded, "Any normal person knows that once you fall into that thing, you can't survive!"

Fang Mo remained silent, just staring quietly at Loki.

In fact, he hadn't noticed this before when he was arguing with Nick Fury. However, now, seeing Loki, who should have fallen into the chaotic flow of space, still standing here unscathed, Fang Mo finally realized the power of the butterfly effect and his influence on the plot.

Now, Fang Mo had two paths to choose from.

The first path was to take advantage of the convenience provided by the plot and try to promote the occurrence of major events in the original story as much as possible, ensuring his foresight. For example, throwing Loki into the time rift and waiting for him to lead the alien invasion of Earth in The Avengers.

Of course, there was also the second path, which was to act entirely according to his own will, directly changing those unfavorable plot points, helping those he liked along the way, and giving a good beating to those he disliked. This approach would definitely be satisfying, but the downside was that he would lose the ability to foresee the future.

Both paths had their pros and cons, and Fang Mo hesitated for a moment about which one to choose.

"Well, um..."

Seeing Fang Mo deep in thought, Loki was genuinely worried. Odin was still asleep, and Thor and their mother couldn't stop this monster. So he quickly asked, "You don't really want to throw me down, do you?"

"What do you think?"

Fang Mo glanced at Loki and asked in return.

"Are you serious?" Loki was surprised and then couldn't help but ask, "Do we have any grudges between us? Even if I wanted to destroy Jotunheim... it shouldn't have anything to do with you as a Midgardian, right?"

"But throwing you down would benefit me."

Interrupted by Loki, Fang Mo stopped thinking about these things and simply smiled at him. "However, considering that you're Thor's brother and not deserving of death, I'll give you one last chance."

"What chance?" Loki eagerly tried to seize this lifeline.

"I'll give you three minutes."

Fang Mo slowly extended three fingers. "Give me a reason not to throw you down. If I find it reasonable, I'll pretend nothing happened."
