Marvel: I became an ancestor by sacrificing offerings.

Loki knelt on the cold ground, the thought of whether or not to use Thanos to eliminate Peter just beginning to cross his mind.

The next second, countless inappropriate images flashed through his mind.

Despite his elaborate schemes, Peter easily thwarted them all in a manner that bordered on humiliation.

Then... came Laufey's tragic death and... her father's face.

"I was wrong."

His father's apology echoed in his ears.

Then there's Thor.

The look of pain on that idiot's face as he lunged to grab his cloak the moment he fell.

Loki's Adam's apple bobbed up and down.

A conflicted expression appeared on his face.

I could indeed join Thanos and have him lead an army to attack Earth.

But what happens after that?

Let's not even talk about whether Thanos could deal with that Earthling who seemed like a monster.

Even if he does win, so what?

Will my father and brother look at me with new respect because of this?

Thinking further, my father is already extremely old. If we lead the Chitauri army to Midgard at this time, will they become greedy and attack Asgard?

The more Loki thought about it, the less he dared to bring it up.

Thanos clearly sensed his hesitation.

But the overlord of Titan did not get angry. He simply reached out and picked up the Mind Scepter next to the armrest of his throne.

The gemstone set at the top of the scepter emitted a faint blue light, and just one glance at it could make one feel a strange attraction.

"I know what you're afraid of."

"But I'm telling you, what you fear is nothing compared to Thanos."

"I can grant you strength."

Thanos casually tossed the Mind Scepter in front of Loki, the sound of metal hitting the ground echoing in the empty hall.

"I may grant you an army."

"I can give you everything you need to get your revenge."

"But if you can't even muster the courage of a warrior in this situation—"

"Then my Titan will no longer welcome you!"

That last sentence is the real killer move.

Loki knew very well what it would mean if he wasn't welcomed by Titan.

During this period of time, he has been wandering and has experienced the coldness and warmth of the world.

If they are not expelled from Titan, and are deemed by the two cosmic overlords to have no value in surviving on their planet.

His future will only be more difficult!

Thinking of this, he subconsciously reached out his hand, his fingertips touching the Scepter of the Mind.

The instant my fingertips touched the surface of the scepter, a cold current shot from my fingertips into my brain.

The emotions he had been trying to suppress were amplified tenfold, a hundredfold in an instant.

anger.

unwilling.

Hey.

There is also a deep-seated inferiority complex.

A fleeting, eerie blue light flashed in the depths of Loki's eyes.

He gripped the scepter tightly and slowly stood up.

"Lord Thanos."

His voice was much calmer than before, even carrying some of his usual composure.

Ebony Maw raised an eyebrow, clearly noticing the change in Loki's condition.

Thanos also became slightly interested and leaned forward slightly.

"explain."

"I can provide you with the coordinates of Earth."

The moment Loki finished speaking, Peter's eerie face reappeared in his mind.

This diminished most of the lofty ambitions that had finally taken root in his heart.

So the words that were about to come out were changed.

"But I have one condition: I will not participate in this attack, and the outcome of this attack, whether successful or not, will have nothing to do with me."

"I can't possibly mess with that monster Peter Parker again!"

"Otherwise, even if he lets me go, my brother and father will never forgive me!"

Upon hearing this, Ebony Maw's face immediately showed displeasure. He was about to reprimand Thanos when Thanos raised his hand to stop him.

In fact, Thanos also wanted to kill Loki immediately at this time.

But he knew he couldn't make a move yet.

This little piece of junk still has a use.

He is the best springboard for his future attack on Asgard.

Therefore, Loki cannot die!

Not only must he not die, but I must also help him gradually eliminate his fear.

Only in this way can he truly make Loki work for him!

With this thought in mind, Thanos stepped down from his throne and walked step by step to Loki.

Loki instinctively took a half step back, but stubbornly refused to retreat any further.

Thanos looked down at him, a slow smile curving his lips.

I understand your fear.

"But your fear proves just one thing."

He reached out and took the Mind Scepter back from Loki, weighing it in his palm.

"There are things on that planet that I should pay attention to personally."

At this point, he patted Loki on the shoulder and said:

"I agree to your terms!"

"Now, give me the coordinates of Earth."

"As for that Midgard man you're worried about—"

Thanos turned around, sat back on his throne, and spoke with an air of dominance:

"You just need to sit here and watch a good show with me."

"Let's see how long that monstrous Earthling you speak of can last against my army."

Loki's lips pressed into a thin line.

The lingering effects of the Mind Scepter were still churning in his mind. The amplified negative emotions were like trash left on the beach after the tide receded; although the tide had gone out, the trash remained.

He really wanted to refuse.

But he also knew very well that he had no right to refuse Thanos.

Moreover...

An idea slowly took shape in his mind.

If Thanos wins, then by following Thanos, at least I won't be a loser.

If Peter wins—

Then he wouldn't have suffered any losses on Thanos's side. Anyway, he didn't do anything personally. At worst, he could just say that he was coerced by Thanos, and Thor and his father wouldn't blame him.

His scheme was so cunning that even he himself found it shameless.

But there's nothing we can do; after all, he's the god of trickery.

What's wrong with the God of Deception using a few tricks?

It's about surviving, nothing to be ashamed of.

"The Milky Way, the third quadrant, the third planet in the solar system."

Finally, Loki closed his eyes and slowly announced the coordinates of Earth.

"very good!"

Thanos nodded in satisfaction.

"Ebony throat".

"Your subordinate is here."

"Pass down the order. Supergiant Star and Black Dwarf Star, each lead two Chitauri capital ships and one flagship, and depart immediately."

"Target—Earth."

Ebony Maw accepted the order and left, while Loki remained kneeling in place, motionless.

Thanos glanced at him and suddenly laughed.

"Don't be nervous, Loki."

"If things go well, you'll be back in Asgard soon."

"As a conqueror."

Loki did not answer.

He just kept his head down, staring intently at his blurry reflection on the ground.

He barely recognized the face in the reflection.

But soon, a violent tremor disrupted his inner hesitation and turmoil.

Those were five Chitauri whale ships, each carrying thousands of fully armed Chitauri soldiers who had conquered countless star systems!

Looking at the fully armed army, Loki unconsciously tightened his grip on his scepter.

I felt the chaotic thoughts in my heart gradually calm down...
