Turning around, Lorelei looked up at Jiraiya, her gaze meeting his. Jiraiya's eyes briefly lowered to the pale skin before him, and he said:
"Then let's deal with her and completely eliminate the threat."
Lorelei shook her head as she looked at Jiraiya, "Many of Asgard's enemies have died because they underestimated Sif."
"You cannot make the same mistake. You don't understand her."
Jiraiya nodded, "True, I don't understand her!"
At that moment, a Rasengan formed in Jiraiya's hand, "But I believe that even Asgardians, if killed, will still die."
He then dispersed the Rasengan.
Lorelei leaned into Jiraiya's arms, resting her head on his chest, her voice filled with affection as she said, "Jiraiya, you are the strongest man I've ever seen."
Jiraiya replied, "I will protect you."
A gentle smile appeared on Lorelei's face as she heard his words.
…
Meanwhile-
Selene, who had been knocked unconscious by Shisui Uchiha, had already woken up. Her wound on her abdomen had fully healed, but she felt very weak.
She felt the debris around her and didn't immediately try to escape.
Instead, she began to dig downwards with her hands. She needed to get to the base to inform Lord Charles about the changes that had occurred here.
…
Elsewhere-
Sif led the S.H.I.E.L.D. team to the entrance of Charles agency.
At this point, the crowd that had gathered at Lorelei's command had already dispersed.
After all, ordinary people no longer served much purpose for her and didn't need to be near her anymore.
Sif, wielding a weapon, stood before the door of the agency. May, accompanied by a group of female agents, fully armed, followed behind her.
With a powerful kick, Sif slammed into the door of Charles agency. However, instead of the door being broken open, golden magical runes suddenly appeared on the door, blocking her attack.
After the previous two attacks on the agency, it had been heavily protected by magic, with the door's defense level being particularly high.
Even Sif wouldn't be able to break it down with a single kick.
A moment of embarrassment flashed across Sif's face, though those behind her didn't notice.
"No wonder it's the agency of the Supreme Merlin. It's completely surrounded by defensive magic."
Sif took a couple of steps forward and grabbed the door handle, pushing it open.
This time, there was no magical defense system, and the door swung open easily. Sif, with her sword and shield in hand, stepped inside first, followed by May and the other S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
However, Sif was unaware that the moment her kick landed, it triggered the defensive enchantment and an alarm had gone off within the agency.
Upon learning of the intruders, Michael ordered a werewolf to notify Lorelei and then led a group to intercept the intruders.
Sif immediately shouted as she saw the men before her, "Where is Lorelei?"
Michael responded by shouting, "Tear them apart!"
May and the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents immediately took aim and pulled the triggers.
"Tap tap tap tap!"
A barrage of freezing bullets was fired towards the group inside the agency. These bullets wouldn't cause fatal harm, only rendering their targets immobile.
Before the action, Coulson had instructed that those under Lorelei's control were not true enemies; the priority was to disable their ability to fight, not kill them.
Moreover, this was Charles agency, and everyone here was Charles's subordinate. If S.H.I.E.L.D. were to kill them, it would certainly result in retaliation from Charles.
Even if someone died, it would have to be from the hands of Sif. Coulson would not allow S.H.I.E.L.D. to be put at risk.
As the bullets were fired, Michael swiftly dodged them.
"Roar!"
With a furious roar, Michael transformed into his werewolf form and charged towards Sif.
Some of the servants in the agency fell to the ground after being hit by the freezing bullets, losing their ability to move.
However, a werewolf squad stationed to guard the area transformed and began leaping through the lobby, attacking the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"Ah!"
A scream echoed as a S.H.I.E.L.D. agent was grabbed by the leg by a werewolf and thrown across the room.
May, seeing the werewolves before her, had a serious expression on her face.
She glanced at Sif, who was engaged with Michael, and quickly moved to intercept the attacks of two werewolves.
"Zila~"
Sif blocked Michael's claw strike with her shield. While the shield wasn't damaged, it made a sharp sound upon impact.
"Bang!"
Sif delivered a powerful kick to Michael, sending him flying across the room.
At that moment, another werewolf attempted a sneak attack. Sif slammed her shield into the werewolf, knocking it away.
As a renowned warrior of Asgard, these werewolves were no match for Sif.
All the werewolves trying to block her were swiftly dealt with, greatly easing May's burden.
Just then, Uchiha Obito, who had arrived, threw several kunai at Sif while simultaneously unleashing a large fireball at her.
"Fire Style: Fireball Jutsu!"
Facing the incoming flames, Sif swiftly leapt into the air, dodging the fireball.
Shisui Uchiha, arriving just in time, saw Obito's attack and drew his short sword, preparing to move.
Although he was no longer under Lorelei's control, Shisui didn't want his fellow Uchiha, Obito, to be hurt. The woman in front of them had shown no sign of weakness in her physical combat abilities.
…
Upstairs in the agency-
A werewolf rushed up and knocked on the door.
"Master, there's trouble! Enemies have invaded!"
The door opened, revealing Jiraiya already dressed in his battle attire. Lorelei had also changed into combat clothes.
"Who are they?" Jiraiya asked.
The werewolf reported, "S.H.I.E.L.D. agents, along with a medieval warrior woman wearing armor and wielding a sword and shield."
Upon hearing the werewolf's description, Lorelei spoke angrily, "Damn it, I didn't expect Sif to find us so quickly."
Jiraiya flexed his wrist and said, "Let me go deal with her."
Lorelei looked at him, then replied, "I'll go with you."
Without hesitation, she followed Jiraiya as they both exited the room, heading towards the second-floor lobby where the battle was taking place.
