By then, if Loki were to subtly spread the word in the village, Baldr would have no choice but to believe he was the cursed child.
After planting the seeds of doubt, Loki said nothing more to Baldr and rode his horse toward the temple behind the village, under Baldr's self-doubting gaze.
As Loki got closer to the temple, his heart raced, and he felt something within the temple constantly beckoning him.
He knew that it was a connection between himself and his counterpart.
He hadn't experienced this feeling when he was in Azeroth, since he was always in Kalimdor and the Broken Isles, while Loken was always in Northrend, and the distance between them was too great.
In fact, he had this feeling as soon as he approached the village, but it became stronger as he got closer.
He could even sense a feeling of pleasure emanating from the other person.
"Heh heh, I hope you'll still be this happy later!" Loki chuckled, and the tentacle sword appeared in his hand. He then strode into the temple.
This is a temple of Odin.
However, the statue of Odin outside the temple was already in a state of disrepair.
In Loki's view, the entire temple was already shrouded in boundless dark power.
Following the source of the dark power, Loki soon arrived at a basement hidden deep within the temple.
Apart from a black double-eared pot with a rune pasted on it, there was nothing else in the basement.
Without a doubt, the soul of Loki, the evil god of this world, is sealed in this human pot.
"Come, break the seal, and I will grant you boundless power!" A faint voice echoed in my ears.
However, Loki remained unmoved and instead raised his tentacle sword.
"Just a sealed piece of trash... You'd better hand over your power to me!" With a cold snort, Loki's greatsword transformed into several enormous tentacles, completely enveloping the sealing jar and instantly crushing the runes on it.
As the seal shattered, the soul of Loki, the evil god sealed inside the pot, was overjoyed and wanted to rush out and attach itself to Loki.
But the soul had barely appeared when it was bound by those tentacles.
"How is this possible? Who are you?" Loki was astonished that his soul was bound. These tentacles were clearly physical entities, so how could they possibly touch his soul? What terrified him even more was that these tentacles were constantly draining his power.
"Heh heh~ Who am I? Can't you tell? I am you!" Loki sneered as he looked at the purple soul trapped by the tentacles of the Old God.
Chapter 368 The Ancient One Wants to Go on Strike
"As expected, my deduction was correct... In this way, this kid can truly protect himself. I just don't know if he can meet my expectations!" Josie quickly received the message that Loki had conveyed through Hilda, and learned that Loki had completed the absorption of his counterpart in the Saint Seiya world. He was very satisfied.
Of course, although this message was conveyed through Hilda, it certainly couldn't be the truth; it was a pre-arranged code.
Hilda, being intelligent, naturally understood the trickery involved. However, because she owed Josie and Loki a debt of gratitude, and because she would have to rely on Josie for many things later on, she could only turn a blind eye to such underhanded tactics.
Hilda didn't bother with it unless it posed a clear threat to Asgard.
After all, she now needs to face even more troublesome opponents: the Holy Land and the Sea Realm.
With Loki's help, she has only just broken free from Poseidon's control; it's still a long way off before she can truly escape the war between the two main gods.
Therefore, during this process, Josie was not too worried that Hilda would cause too much of an obstacle to Loki's actions in the Saint Seiya world.
Especially now that Loki has absorbed his counterpart from the Saint Seiya world, Josie has even less to worry about.
However, the smooth sailing in the Saint Seiya world could not completely dispel the trace of worry on Josie's face.
This lingering sorrow did not originate from the Saint Seiya world, but from the Ancient One.
Not long ago, the Ancient One conveyed a request to Josie through Abidis—the Supreme Lord, who had been concerned about Earth in the Marvel Universe for hundreds of years, wanted to go on strike.
However, what she wanted to quit was not Josie's job.
Despite Josie's plan to steal the primal power of many gods in the Azeroth universe, the Ancient One will still do everything in her power to accomplish it, as it is what she herself wanted to do.
What she was really planning to quit was her former boss in the Marvel Universe, who was also her biggest backer and the creator god Eternal.
As we all know, the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, is most famous for her ability to not repay her debts, in addition to her immense power and her diligent protection of Earth from invasions from other dimensions over the past few centuries.
Many dimensional demons in the Marvel Universe have suffered greatly from this—of course, this is also the result of the greedy guys' own actions.
The reason why the Ancient One dared to do this, besides her own powerful strength, was that she had a powerful backer who no demon god in any dimension could afford to offend: the creator god Eternity.
But there is also an unavoidable fact here.
That means Eternity itself is also a creditor of the Ancient One, and one that the Ancient One couldn't escape even in death.
After the Ancient One dies, her soul will inevitably go to the side of Eternity to work and repay her debts.
To say that the Ancient One was entirely willing is clearly impossible.
It doesn't seem like the duties of the Sage Supreme. As long as there is a suitable successor, at least there is still a glimmer of hope.
The job of paying off the debts given by Eternity, given the debts owed by the Ancient One, has virtually no end in sight.
Do you really think that the name "Eternity" is just for show?
However, in the past, Gu Yi was powerless against the powerful, so she could only wait for that day to arrive step by step.
Even after learning that Josie possessed the ability to send people to other universes, she didn't give it much thought—because at first, like those gods, she thought that what Josie could connect to was just the multiverse, which was also created eternally.
However, after the Ancient One arrived in Azeroth, she discovered that this unfamiliar universe had absolutely nothing to do with eternity, and her originally calm state of mind began to waver.
Since they've already escaped Eternal's control, why bother going back to be his laborers?
This idea became even more fervent after she came into contact with the Eternal Dragons and Bronze Dragons.
After in-depth research, she discovered that the time system of the Azeroth universe was actually in an extremely chaotic state.
Despite the seemingly monstrous abilities of the Bronze Dragons and the Infinite Dragons, their use of time power is remarkably rudimentary compared to that of the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme who possessed the Time Stone, a cosmic treasure.
Yes, it's low-end.
Don't be fooled by the fact that almost any adult Bronze Dragon or Infinite Dragon is older than the Ancient One; when it comes to understanding and using power, age doesn't always equate to superiority.
In the Marvel Universe, the Ancient One's age is only a fraction of that of the dimensional demons, but how many dimensional demons have managed to get away with it?
In terms of the power of time, let alone the Bronze Dragons, even the Titan Aman'Thul, who granted Nozdormu the power of time, might not have as profound an understanding as the Ancient One.
If Aman'Thul, the High Father of the Pantheon, truly had complete control over the power of time, Sargeras would have had no chance of defeating him.
Moreover, the power of time that Aman'Thul granted to Nozdormu is essentially limited to Azeroth itself.
Once outside of Azeroth, Nozdormu and his offspring are nothing.
Just like in the Warlords of Draenor expansion, the bronze dragon Kairoz wanted to travel to Draenor in a parallel universe 35 years in the past, but he could only do so with the help of external forces.
Moreover, the only place they can reach is Draenor, a planet that is almost "inseparable" from Azeroth.
In the end, he was easily killed by Xiaohou through a clever trick.
So, after spending a year in the Azeroth universe, the Ancient One had already conceived the idea of becoming the God of Time in this universe.
If one could completely control the power of time, let alone Titans, Void Lords, or Eternals, even a top-tier being like Elune would probably be helpless against the Ancient One.
To be honest, if the Ancient One could really do that, it would be an immense help to Josie.
At least back then, Josie could get almost anything she needed from the Azeroth universe through the Ancient One.
However, the drawbacks are also obvious: the Ancient One has run away, and Eternity can't find this deadbeat, so we don't know what he'll do next.
This creator god of the Marvel Universe is so mysterious that no one knows anything about his temperament. Even the Celestials, whom he created, know very little about this father god.
Josie wasn't sure if her interdimensional trading device could fool this person, nor was she sure if this person would discover that she had taken the Ancient One to another universe.
If the other party finds out, Josie will probably have to pay the price for the Ancient One.
So Josie couldn't help but feel conflicted about this matter.
Chapter 369 Thor's Dilemma
The Ancient One's request didn't cause Josie much hesitation.
Because this matter is still too far in the future, it may be decades or even centuries before Eternity discovers the Ancient One's "betrayal".
However, something else has caught Josie's attention right now.
That's because the mage in South America who was keeping an eye on Thor sent a message saying that Thor's current situation is not good.
It has been more than a year since Thor was banished to Earth.
After being rescued by Che Guevara, Saul stayed by the side of this revolutionary.
Having witnessed the suffering of countless South American people during this era and the various shady dealings of the United States in South America, and with Che Guevara by his side to teach him, Saul, having lost his divine powers and fallen to earth, indeed joined Che Guevara's team, just as Josie had predicted.
Moreover, it's unclear whether Saul possessed some kind of aura, but he not only quickly became a key member of Che Guevara's team, but also caused Che Guevara to leave Cuba several years earlier than in the original timeline and begin his campaigns in various Central and South American countries.
Of course, because of the sudden rise of the Kingdom of Austria in this world and its covert support for anti-American and anti-Bear forces around the world, there are many more resistance forces around the world than in the original timeline, which Josie naturally blocked out.
The chaos that plagues the world is all Hydra's fault!
What is the connection between the ouroboros and the Kingdom of Austria?
It was during the past year, following Che Guevara in battles across the country, that Saul's name began to gain international recognition.
Although Thor is now only a mortal, his physique and thousands of years of combat experience are not to be underestimated. Even without divine power, he is not much worse than an ordinary super soldier. The reason he was pinned against the wall by a group of doctors and nurses in the movie is because his emotions have been unstable since his exile.
Now that he has been exiled and has met Chegurava, he has long accepted the fact of his exile, and the fighting power he can exert under these circumstances is naturally incomparable to what it used to be.
Especially now, Thor is no longer just a brute who only knows how to wield cold weapons. He is now very skilled in using all kinds of firearms and can even fly fighter jets. He is a complete rainforest soldier king.
