I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 426 Father God, do you still stand by what you just said?

what!

And this kind of operation?

Upon hearing this, Loki's eyes flickered for a moment before he decisively said, "I refuse."

"The throne of Asgard? That sounds incredibly tempting!"

Loki gave a mocking smile, staring at Odin and sneering, "But what does all this have to do with me, a sinner wanted by Asgard?"

Loki.

Before Loki could finish speaking, Fricka, who was standing to the side, anxiously cried out, "Please, don't argue with your father at a time like this."

"Fighting spirit?"

At this moment, the "Joker" disguised as Loki seemed to have completely immersed himself in Loki's identity. His emotions were completely ignited by Fricka's words of fighting spirit, and he could no longer maintain his signature fake smile.

"Am I just being stubborn? Do you really understand me? Is the throne of Asgard truly what I want?"

Before Frieza and Odin could answer, Loki replied to himself, "No, you have never truly understood me."

As he spoke, Loki suddenly suppressed his excited expression and regained his composure.

Loki glanced at the completely closed wormholes in the sky, dusted himself off, and said, "Alright, if Your Majesty the Great King of the Gods has nothing else to say, then forgive this sinner for taking my leave."

"Of course, if you don't want me to leave, you can send someone to arrest me and lock me in the dungeon of the Celestial Palace at any time."

At this point, Loki seemed to remember something and said in a slightly smug tone:

"Oh, sorry, it seems there are no more celestial palaces now."

Asgard's palace was razed to the ground by the terrifying aftershocks of the battle between Odin and Malekith.

Given Loki's personality...

Everyone interpreted Loki's words as a provocation against Odin, the king of the gods.

Is Loki really that brave?

Lorelei, the goddess of beauty, was astonished upon witnessing this scene. Her alluring eyes, which seemed to bewitch all beings, were filled with surprise.

It was as if I had gotten to know Loki all over again.

Loki.

Amidst Fryka's fierce shout, Thor, standing beside Odin, shamelessly retorted:

"Father, Loki seems to have hit his head during the battle. He's talking nonsense right now. You know, he's always wanted to be the king of Asgard."

"In fact, I also think that Loki would be more suitable to be the king of Asgard than I am. He is well-versed in the art of ruling, and I am ashamed to admit that I am not as good as him..."

Although Thor still harbors a deep resentment towards Loki for mercilessly killing the Warriors Three of Asgard.

But for Asgard, for his family and other friends.

Thor was able to suppress his anger towards Loki.

Upon seeing the large hole in Odin's chest and learning that Odin had sacrificed his divine power to save him and his mother, Thor matured considerably.

Because Thor knew that from now on, no one would be able to stand behind him and shelter him from the wind and rain.

From this day forward, Thor lost a wise and great father.

And Asgard will lose its greatest king in history.

Once news of Odin's death spreads, the schemers and ambitious individuals in the Nine Realms, who were intimidated by Odin's power, will surely stir up trouble once again.

At that time, the Nine Realms, which had finally stabilized, will inevitably be turbulent and turbulent.

Having lost Odin's protection and having seized a large amount of resources from the nine worlds, Asgard, as the leader of the nine realms, naturally became the primary target of schemers and ambitious individuals.

This is why Odin wanted Loki to impersonate him and become the King of Asgard, and why he had Fryka and Thor assist Loki.

Because as long as Odin is alive, the schemers in the Nine Realms, and even the universe, will not dare to truly attack Asgard.

Even if they guessed that Odin might have paid a huge price at this moment, it was still the same.

This is the power of Odin, the king of the gods, to intimidate the nine realms and even the entire universe.

all of these.

Thor was well aware of this as well.

Therefore, Thor did not object to Odin's arrangement at all, and even took the initiative to explain on Loki's behalf, even if Odin promised the throne of Asgard to Loki in front of him at the end.

As Thor himself said, he knew that Loki was more adept at ruling and more skilled at dealing with intrigue and scheming than he was.

at this time.

Loki, who is adept at dealing with all kinds of conspiracies and tricks, would be better able to protect Asgard than if he himself were to sit on the throne.

just.

Thor was interrupted by Loki's sneer before he could finish speaking: "I don't need anyone's pity, especially yours."

Done.

Loki pulled hard with both hands and with a "pop" pulled the Mind Scepter out of the rock.

"Goodbye, Mother."

After giving Fricka an elegant and impeccable farewell, Loki turned his back and walked away into the distance without looking back.

"Loki..."

Thor shouted, and seeing that Loki didn't react at all, he immediately turned to Odin and said, "I'll go and bring Loki back..."

"No."

Raising a hand to stop the anxious Thor, Odin's single remaining eye flashed with wisdom before he said with unwavering certainty, "Loki will be back soon."

"Before that, I have something to tell you."

Looking at Thor, who seemed to have grown a lot all of a sudden, Odin's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.

While looking at Thor with a look of satisfaction, Odin, who was nearing the end of his life, subtly moved his right hand.

Using his remaining divine power, Odin silently used his authority to open a small crack in a massive barrier that covered all of Asgard.

The instant Odin broke the seal, the blue gem at the tip of Loki's Mind Scepter seemed to flash with a faint blue light.

·······

Odin's subtle movements were extremely discreet.

If you don't look closely, no one will be able to notice it.

However, all of this was observed by a pair of dark eyes.

Sensing the subtle fluctuation that had just occurred, Erin's eyes flickered.

"This feeling... Did Odin just do something?"

Just as Erin was pondering what exactly that fluctuation that had touched his spirituality was,

the other side.

Loki, with his back to Odin, hadn't gone very far.

A flash of blue light suddenly appeared on the scepter in his hand.

Under the blue light, Loki felt a mysterious force constantly pulling at his consciousness, trying to draw him into a special dream.

Followed by.

An overwhelming weariness instantly washed over Loki, causing him to involuntarily close his eyes.

"Um?"

Almost the instant he closed his eyes, Loki sensed the energy trying to pull him into a deep sleep and invade his body, and he suddenly woke up from his dream.

Who is plotting against me with this force?

Wait a minute, this power seems to be coming from the Mind Scepter, and the Mind Scepter's current apparent owner is Loki...

Loki's mind stirred, and he immediately changed his appearance, even in his dream, he became Loki.

At the same time, Loki's consciousness tightened, trying to prevent anyone from interpreting his thoughts through his scattered ideas, while also constantly testing that strange power.

After a few attempts, Loki discovered even more of the strangeness of this peculiar dream.

"Interesting, is this a special way of using the Mind Scepter?"

This is different from a normal dream.

At this moment, Loki had clearly regained consciousness, but he was unable to break free from the dream and truly wake up through several conventional means.

of course.

This is simply because conventional methods fail to bring him to his senses.

With a surge of spiritual energy, guided by the power of his mind, Loki was now able to subtly sense and manipulate his body outside the dream.

As long as Loki manipulates his external self, releases the Mind Scepter, and cuts off the mental power that is constantly flowing into his body through the Mind Scepter, he can regain consciousness.

"However, since we're already here, how can we not introduce ourselves to the owner of this place?"

Loki waited patiently.

His consciousness was quickly drawn to a dim world.

However, this dim world was as if it were covered by a filter, making it exceptionally blurry.

Followed by.

The blurry black mist before Loki's eyes coalesced into a vague figure whose appearance he couldn't discern.

Only through the dark mist could one vaguely sense the ferocity of that figure.

Loki's eyes narrowed slightly, and the rune of [Despair Gaze] flickered faintly in his mind, as if ready to unleash a powerful attack at any moment.

but.

Before the [Disappointing Gaze] rune could truly erupt, the ferocious figure in front of Loki began to hurl insults at him.

"Foolish, arrogant Asgardian, you piece of trash have betrayed that man's trust and ruined everything."

"Damn piece of trash! If it weren't for you, we Chitauri wouldn't have been punished by that lord, you arrogant fool..."

Amidst the barrage of curses from that blurry, ferocious figure.

Chitauri?

Loki, having caught a key word, connected it to the Mind Scepter that had led him into this dreamlike space, and instantly understood the other party's identity.

The Chitauri, Thanos's henchmen, who once cooperated with Loki to launch an attack on Earth.

Loki silently pricked up his ears and, without making a sound, gleaned a considerable amount of information from the figure's string of insults.

I waited for quite a while.

Only after the other party finished that long string of insults, without any repetition, did they finally finish.

Ah!

After all this cursing, it seems that these Chitauri are having a tough time under Thanos's command after their failed mission to invade Earth!

While silently complaining in my heart.

Loki, however, remained expressionless on the surface.

After the other person finished hurling insults, he coldly said, "Are you done? If not, you can continue, but I'd like to remind you that time is running out."

"Oh, and one more thing, shouldn't you be more blamed than me for that failed intrusion?"

"After all, I opened the portal as planned, but you were utterly defeated by the natives on Earth. Oh, right, it seems you were also scared away by the abominations of the gods in the end."

At the end, Loki clicked his tongue twice in a highly sarcastic tone.

Having quickly escaped the dream, Loki showed no fear whatsoever at the menacing figure.

Ever since that blurry, menacing figure appeared, Loki has noticed that the power preventing him from leaving this special dream is being consumed at a visible rate.

However, the energy flow emanating from the [Scepter of the Mind] is constantly decreasing.

At this rate, continue.

Regardless of whether the sudden outburst of the Mind Scepter that drew me into this dream world was a Chitauri contingency plan or some other secret technique, it wouldn't last long.

Loki didn't think the other party had gone to such lengths, even revealing their hidden trump card within the Mind Scepter, just to give him a piece of their mind.

Ok.

To be precise.

The other person wasn't cursing them, but rather another Loki who had failed to invade Earth, resulting in them being punished by Thanos.

Thinking about this, Loki felt even calmer.

After he finished speaking, Loki even had time to examine this strange dream and think about how he could create a similar dream.

There's no reason why Loki, a man of great stature, couldn't do what the Chitauri could.

"you······"

The fierce figure who had been mocked by Loki was so enraged by Loki's words that his chest heaved violently.

In just a few seconds.

The fierce figure, who was about to continue cursing, had its blurry face change color several times.

"Hmph, despicable Asgardians."

After letting out a cold snort, and feeling the weakening connection between himself and this dream space, the fierce figure took a deep breath and said in a cold voice, "I hope you'll still be this tough when I appear before you."

Ok?

Upon hearing this, Loki's expression changed slightly, and he said, "You know where I am?"

"certainly."

Seemingly noticing the hint of surprise on Loki's face, the fierce figure sneered, "Is that so difficult? If we couldn't even pinpoint your location, why would we entrust such a priceless treasure as the Mind Scepter to an Asgardian like you?"

"Hmph, don't waste our time with your ignorance."

"The Reality Stone has appeared. That lord has ordered you to seize it at all costs."

"If this mission fails again, when we reach the Nine Realms, you will know what true suffering is..."

"...Zzzzz..."

"Remember, complete...the mission..."

Amidst a series of buzzing sounds, Loki instantly regained consciousness.

······

Not long after.

Loki, who had turned to leave, suddenly reappeared before Thor could react, standing in front of Odin.

Then, to Thor's astonishment, he smiled and said:

"Father God, do you still stand by what you said?"
