Chapter 99 Toby: Oh? You've seen me in my prime?
After the Rainbow Bridge closed, Tony immediately stopped the power output of his armor, which had already reached its limit. He and Loki both released Gungnir from their hands, and with a 'bang,' they were both sent flying backward as if electrocuted!
Peter, who could only watch anxiously the whole time, rushed over to help Tony up, who was covered in smoke after falling. Seeing Tony's right arm, which was charred from the severe overload of energy output, Peter was almost in tears.
"Oh my god, Mr. Stark! Don't die, please don't die! Say something to prove you're not dead, please!"

At that moment, Tony's faceplate opened, and he exhaled a puff of white smoke: "Cough cough, I'm fine, I just took a puff of a new element e-cigarette in there..."
Upon hearing this, Peter excitedly hugged Tony tightly, tears streaming down his face. "That's wonderful! That's wonderful! You didn't die this time, Mr. Stark!"
Tony paused, then patted Peter on the back: "I don't know why you said 'this time,' but thanks anyway, kid!"
After Peter and Tony separated, Peter scratched his head, looking somewhat puzzled.
"I...I don't know either. It's just that seeing how you were just now, I suddenly had the illusion that I had experienced this moment before. Maybe it's because of my spider-sense that I'm too sensitive..."
Tony, however, seemed thoughtful upon hearing this: "Given the unscientific nature of your spider-sense, perhaps this isn't just your imagination, but something that actually happened in a parallel universe..."
Just as Tony and Peter hit it off immediately, and the world rejoiced that the crisis of Earth's invasion had ended thanks to the combined efforts of the superheroes.
Suddenly, Loki, who had also been thrown back, let out a terrified cry.
After standing up, Loki looked at the distorted blue light emanating from his body, his eyes filled with terror as he stared at Tony, demanding, "What did you just do to me? And what's this on me?!"
Upon hearing the sound, Tony and Peter both looked towards Loki.
At this moment, Loki was emitting a flickering blue light, and his body seemed to be ethereal, oscillating between reality and nothingness!
Tony's pupils contracted, and he immediately realized what was happening. He yelled to Peter, "Damn it, kid, grab him! He's disappearing!"
Peter reacted quickly, immediately raising his hand and shooting a web at Loki, trying to grab him!
But it was too late. Just as the claw-like spider silk was about to touch Loki, Loki's figure suddenly disappeared in a twist!
Only a few specks of blue starlight remained in the air as they slowly descended...
Peter looked around nervously, his voice tinged with panic: "OMG, Mr. Stark, I can't sense that guy anymore! It seems he really escaped this time!"
"Only that guy could open the Rainbow Bridge with that spear. He's gone now, and my brother is still in those monsters' territory on the other side. What do we do?!"
Tony didn't reply to Peter immediately. Instead, he looked down at Gungnir, who was still lying quietly on the ground, and fell into deep thought. After a long while, he replied in a deep voice:
"No, maybe he didn't run away on his own, but because of me..."
Peter was taken aback: "Because of you, Mr. Stark, what do you mean by that?"
Tony struggled to his feet, his tattered armor shattering, and grabbed the Asgardian flying ball that was still dutifully providing them with close-up shots in mid-air. After fiddling with it for a few moments, he shut down the live stream and explained to Peter:
"When Toby reminded me of the new element my father left behind, he also told me that the inspiration for the new element came from something my father discovered called the Cosmic Cube, saying that the core of the Cosmic Cube was the embodiment of the rules of this universe..."
"And this new element I created, which is isotopic in energy similar to the Tesseract, likely also possesses extremely strong spatial elements. Therefore, during the activation just now, it accidentally generated spatial quantum entanglement, thus teleporting that bastard Loki to an unknown place..."
"So now we can only find that guy named Thor and ask him if he can control this God-King weapon called Gungnir to reopen the Rainbow Bridge. If that doesn't work, I'll have to try to create a spatial portal myself using the new elements..."
"In short, Peter, I swear, I will bring Toby back!"
After saying that, Tony looked at Peter with a mixture of self-reproach and determination in his eyes.
In Tony's view, he should bear the main responsibility for losing Loki, the "key" to opening the Rainbow Gate!
After all, if he hadn't acted impulsively and forcibly forced Loki to close the portal using the untested energy of the new element reactor, Loki wouldn't have disappeared!
Peter lowered his head and remained silent for a long while, finally shaking his head: "No, it's not entirely your fault. I couldn't help either. That was the last resort, and Toby himself told us that. Maybe he already knew this..."
"But I need to make a few phone calls first. Uncle Ben and Aunt May must have seen the live stream, and I need to calm them down before we go to find Thor together. If that doesn't work, I'll help you research teleportation technology!"
Upon hearing this, Tony patted Peter on the shoulder and exclaimed, "Peter, you're different from your cousin Toby. You're a truly good kid..."
As for Toby...
Pfft——————
On a mountain of corpses made up of frost giants, Toby stood atop a frost behemoth, pulling his massive blade from its head and pointing it at the endless army of frost giants stretching across the icy plains ahead.
"Next round!"
Suddenly, the army of frost giants parted to create a path, and Laufey, whose height had increased from five meters to over ten meters, stepped out. He also pointed the ice blade on his arm, several times larger than Toby's entire body, at Toby atop the mountain of corpses, and roared:
"Human, you shouldn't have chased us all the way to Jotunheim, and you shouldn't have dragged it out for so long. Don't you know that the longer we frost giants stay in the cold lands, the stronger we become? And for someone of royal blood like me, that strength increases exponentially?"
"Now that I'm back in Jotunheim, I've recovered to my full strength. Human, you're doomed!"
Toby stared at the giant Laufey, his face expressionless, his voice colder than the snows of Jotunheim: "Oh? Your prime? So you think this is my prime?"
As he spoke, Toby's physique began to change. First, his height increased dramatically, from two meters to a full five meters, and then his appearance changed.
Although the main body is still silver-gray, the forearms and calves have been transformed into dense purple scales, and the spider pattern on the chest has turned gold!
Finally, Toby's face changed from a normal spider mask with only two eyes to a headgear that looked like a living creature, with crescent-shaped eyes and sharp teeth, making his whole face look ferocious!
At his full potential, Toby's strength also increased exponentially!
Finally, Toby spread his arms, each end extending a several-meter-long blade crackling with purple lightning, and roared at Laufey:
"Come on, Laufey, let me see if you, without the Frostbox, can put any pressure on me when you're at your peak!!!"
