Chapter 180 Loki Wants to Join Arkham! Thor and Loki's Sincere Conversation!

Seeing this, Loki took a deep breath. There was nothing more he could say.

Since the moment he left Asgard, he had nothing left to say to the people there.

His loneliness, his anger, his mental torment—he had no one to confide in.

He even reconsidered and was surprised to find that he couldn't find a single friend in Asgard besides Thor!

Loki felt betrayed by the home he cherished. Jealousy stemmed from pride, and revenge from desire, but all those grievances were so vulnerable in the face of love!
Even amidst the extreme torment of living under a lie about her origins, what remains most unforgettable are the countless moments from the past 1000 years.

He had fallen into the abyss of hell in the wormhole of time and space, a despair he had never experienced as a prince. He brushed with death several times in the darkest corner of the universe, wandering alone in those chaotic and riotous territories, associating with conspirators and drinking poison with vicious demons.

But so what?
He is Loki, from Asgard. He will never be a lackey of any overlord, not Thanos, not Darkseid!
If possible, use intrigue to scheme and plot against all of this.

If you can, deceive the world with lies.

Everything he did was driven by one motivation: Asgard.

If he has any regrets or any real desires he still wants to pursue, it is to achieve true independence!
To truly leave Asgard, to step out of the protection and shadow of the Allfather.

As a child, perhaps one can only be considered independent when one truly leaves home.

Since he couldn't be the head of the household, he should move to a nearby place and become a neighbor.

He had no intention of carrying out this plan at all, until Loki encountered Lex Luthor while trying to escape Darkseid.

That was a guy even he found terrifyingly intelligent, and he had to admit that he had convinced Loki with his ideas.

If God has a stance, then He is not omnipotent; if God is omnipotent, then He has absolutely no stance and will not favor either side.

Having a stance means that even the gods will take sides and make choices, whether it's Odin or Carrot!
God is unfair; God never stands on the side of fairness!
This also means that they could be enemies.

Thor opened his mouth, choked for a long time as if a fishbone was stuck in his throat, and finally fell silent:

"We are not enemies."

Loki stared at him, enunciating each word clearly, a smile spreading across his face, a flicker of reminiscence in his eyes:

“My brother, we have been fighting for 1000 years and have faced many enemies. You have killed more than twice that number. We have also seen many good people turn bad.”

"Kryptonians are also immortal beings. As long as he lives, the Father of the Gods may still be the Father of the Gods, but you will never be the true king of the Nine Realms!"

"Let's not talk about anything else, just talk about those superheroes."

"What respect did they ever have for you?"

"Is the reason for this because of the strange and unusual abilities they acquired?"

Is it because they consider you a friend or comrade-in-arms?

"No!"

Loki's eyes changed instantly, and he exhaled a chilling breath: "It's because of Superman!"

"It's because of Superman that they aren't afraid of you! They aren't afraid of Asgard!"

Upon hearing this, Thor, unusually, did not refute Loki. Instead, he looked at Loki with a clear and sincere gaze and solemnly said:
Even if it's as you say, I don't care.

"But I promise you I'll wait for him to come back, and I'll challenge him to a duel between men!"

Loki's eyes were filled with disappointment; he didn't know whether to be happy for his sincerity or to mourn his foolishness.

Even the weakest human being knows that one cannot allow another to sleep soundly beside one's bed!

"Even human history books record that generals who have made great contributions and threaten their rulers will be killed, and generals who hold military power will inevitably be removed."

"Sol, you are not a king, and you will never see things with the mindset of a king."

Upon hearing this, Thor downed the wine in his glass in one gulp, but this time he didn't smash it. Instead, he quietly placed it aside with Earthly etiquette.
"Do you know Loki? I don't care about the throne anymore."

"I don't care whether that guy named Carrot threatens my position."

“A monarch means responsibility. You are right. I would never think like a monarch, and of course I cannot bear such responsibility.”

Thor took Loki's words to heart. If it were the same hothead he used to be, spouting about the glory of the gods and the nobility of Asgard, he would have gone to fight Carrot without hesitation!
Even if he were in the depths of the universe, he could travel across it using the Rainbow Bridge.

But by this time, he had already experienced wandering during his time on Earth and had come to understand what responsibility and commitment meant.

If Loki's fears come true, and Carrot El truly turns to the dark side and slaughters Asgard! If he truly becomes their enemy!
Thor will absolutely fight him to the very last moment! He'll fight Superman to the death!
But as long as that moment hasn't arrived, he will hold on tightly and cherish this friendship from Earth forever. Odin would surely want him to do the same.

The words echoed in the night wind, and the scene fell into a stalemate.

In the still air, you could hear Loki's panting; in the brightly lit night, you could see the sincerity in Thor's eyes.

After a long while, Loki suddenly raised his head, looked at him, and said, "I have a request."

"what?"

"I'm not going back to Asgard."

Thorn's expression immediately turned displeased. He assumed Loki was still sulking with them, unaware that Loki was now a war criminal on Earth. Apart from Asgard, no one would offer him refuge, and who knew what he would face if he remained on Earth.
"That's impossible! No matter what happens, you will always be the prince of Asgard!"

"Even if it's a trial, we must return to Asgard!"

Upon hearing this, Loki couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that Thor still couldn't understand that if he were to be imprisoned and sent back in this capacity, it would be nothing short of a humiliation for him.

Wealth and honor do not return to their hometown, just like walking in brocade at night.

Returning home in shackles is akin to being slowly sliced ​​to death.

"Then come with me to Arkham."

A deep voice behind him startled Thor. As soon as he turned around, he saw the persistent bat-man standing there, having been eavesdropping for quite some time.

"What the hell???"

"Bruce, what are you doing here???"

Thor turned around in surprise, his eyes widening in shock as he looked Bruce up and down in disbelief to make sure it was a real person.

and many more!

What's Batman doing here?

Didn't he already go back to Gotham?

Why would I be here in the middle of the night?
Seeing Thor's expression, Loki immediately guessed what had happened and burst into hearty laughter:

"Hahahaha, this is really funny."

"What did I just say, dear brother? See? He's been on guard against you the whole time!!"

Thor realized what was happening, his face darkened, and he summoned Mjolnir, pointing it at Bruce and asking:
"Batman, what do you mean by this?"

Batman glanced at Loki; now that he had chosen to step forward, there was no need to hide it anymore.

In fact, it was precisely because he overheard their conversation that Batman's impression of Thor and Loki improved, and he also gained the confidence to take Loki away.

“I told him to come with me to Arkham.”

“He doesn’t want to go back, and you’re worried that he’ll be manipulated by Zheng Shu outside, so his best option is to come to Gotham with me.”

“That’s a place beyond Zheng Shu’s reach, a paradise for criminals and madmen like him.”

Thor's chest heaved, and veins bulged on his forehead.
"You planned this all along, didn't you?"

“You knew I would disagree, so you came secretly and created the illusion that Loki had disappeared.”

"Stark suggested a get-together during the day, so you pretended to leave to lower everyone's guard, then sneak in and steal someone when the defenses were at their weakest?"

Looking at that sneaky Batman, even Thor, who was completely clueless, could guess what was going on.

Besides, as the successor of Asgard, how could Thor really be brainless? It's just that he doesn't use his brain most of the time. After all, he also has an external brain, which occasionally rebels and pokes at him.

"Yes."

Batman looked at him expressionlessly, acknowledging it.

"boom!"

The next second, a bolt of lightning, accompanied by the booming sound of a hammer striking, struck straight down.

Ten thousand days a day, five watches a night, and he's made something of himself.
