While everyone was speaking, Loki had already arrived at the Bifrost control room, holding the Eternal Spear, accompanied by Asgardian soldiers and citizens.

George immediately turned to the group and said, "Thor, you need to delay them as much as possible. Keep them busy for as long as you can.

Steve, you'll take charge of the defense—figure out the best way to hold them off.

I need ten minutes to prepare something big for them!"

With that, George began chanting a spell.

Ever since he acquired the ancient lightning magic from the old one-eyed dark wizard, he had dedicated most of his energy to studying it. This included putting his research into magic across different worlds on hold, focusing all his efforts on mastering this lightning-based ancient magic.

Thanks to his solid magical foundation and having two experienced Aurors to consult, George had finally begun to grasp the magic in the past few days. Now, it was the perfect time to use it.

"Our goal is to hold the control room of the Bifrost and prevent Loki from using it to unleash enough energy to destroy Jotunheim.

So, we'll defend right at the entrance of the control room. They won't dare to use heavy artillery here, as it could damage the Bifrost's control system.

Plus, the Bifrost is not wide enough for them to bring too many people at once. We'll only face five or six soldiers at a time."

Steve, ever the tactical mastermind, quickly identified both the advantages and disadvantages on each side.

The enemy wasn't just powerful because of the Asgardian soldiers, but also because of their more advanced and deadly weaponry, such as the laser cannons stationed in the city.

But as long as they remained near the control room, Loki wouldn't dare to deploy those laser cannons and would have to rely on close combat with his soldiers. Given the Bifrost's limited width, it would actually make it easier to defend.

"When the time comes, I, Logan, the three Valkyrie Warriors, and Sif will hold the line. Tony, you and the others will cover our backs. Banner, don't unleash Hulk just yet.

If we can't hold them, then you can bring Hulk out to help us."

At this moment, everyone fully endorsed Steve's tactical setup, even Tony, who often didn't get along with him.

Tony had realized that this older guy, often referred to by his father, was actually quite capable. And after witnessing Steve wield Mjolnir, Tony had come to trust Steve's character more.

Tony had always found Steve irritating, mainly because his father would constantly compare him to Steve. It used to get on his nerves, and he felt resentful. He used to think Steve wasn't as great as his father made him out to be, believing that a lot of it was just a performance—a false image manufactured by the government, and that deep down, Steve was just a clown.

But after spending time with him recently, Tony saw that, aside from being a bit stiff, Steve had no real flaws.

Meanwhile, as Steve made the tactical plans, Loki, leading his Asgardian citizens, reached the front of the Bifrost control room, where he confronted Thor.

"Heimdall, the three Valkyrie Warriors, and Sif—how dare you defy Father's orders, bringing the exiled Thor back to Asgard, and with so many lowly mortals to boot?

In the name of Asgard's King, I hereby sentence you to treason."

Upon seeing the Bifrost activated at the Asgardian square, Loki immediately realized something was wrong and rushed over with his forces. Seeing Thor confirmed his suspicions, so before Thor could speak, Loki took the initiative, setting the tone for the situation.

"And my dear brother, you should not have returned before Father awoke. That goes against his orders. I won't punish you yet, but I hope you'll return to Midgard, and once Father wakes, I will immediately intercede on your behalf."

"Loki, why did you ally with the Frost Giants? Why did you send Laufey to assassinate Father? Is it really all for the throne?" Thor angrily questioned when he heard Loki's words.

The Asgardian citizens behind Loki murmured among themselves at Thor's accusations.

However, Loki wasn't fazed. As the god of deception and lies, he was a master of speech and performance, and Thor stood no chance against him in this regard.

"Brother, how can you say such things about me? I've never intended to take your throne. It's just that Father is in a deep slumber, and Mother is by his side. Asgard cannot be without a king, so I reluctantly took on the role of regent.

I never planned to steal your throne. Once Father awakens, I'll ask for his blessing so that you can return to claim your rightful place."

"But until then, you cannot return on your own, violating Father's orders just because of a little jealousy."

Loki's sincere acting and his words immediately caused many of Thor's supporters to waver in their convictions.

Furious, Thor shouted, "Loki, don't try to deceive me again. Heimdall and Sif have already told me everything!"

"Oh, it seems I was wrong. Brother, with your character, how could you possibly be jealous over such a trivial matter? It must be Heimdall and the others who have deceived you."

Loki waved his hand dismissively.

"Bring them to me! Capture Heimdall and the others!"

After Loki's twisting of the truth and the fact that he was now wielding the Eternal Spear as the acting king of Asgard, the Asgardian soldiers, though hesitant, still raised their weapons and moved forward.

"Lord Thor, please step aside."

"Everyone, stand back!"

With a booming command, Thor's authority, forged by leading armies for millennia, made the advancing soldiers involuntarily take a few steps back.

"What are you doing? Are you planning to defy orders and betray the kingdom?"

Loki shouted back, aiming the Eternal Spear directly at Thor.

Although he couldn't openly kill Thor, injuring him severely or knocking him unconscious was still an option. Once Thor was down, the Asgardian soldiers would no longer have any reservations.

"Watch out!"

Seeing the imminent danger, Steve quickly moved in front of Thor with his shield, deflecting the blast from the Eternal Spear.

"In the name of the King of Asgard, I command all soldiers to capture them!"

With Loki's enraged command, the Asgardian soldiers no longer hesitated and charged forward, weapons in hand, heading straight for the Bifrost control room.

Without his divine power, Thor was escorted back into the control room by Steve and the others, and the battle began.

Captain America, armed with Mjolnir and his shield, Wolverine, displaying his unbreakable adamantium claws, the three Valkyrie Warriors, and Sif all stood firmly at the entrance of the control room, guarding it.

Tony, using Jarvis' advanced capabilities, skillfully provided long-range support, using various weapons to plug the gaps in the defense.

In no time, not a single Asgardian soldier could break through the line and enter the Bifrost's control room.
