I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 427

Looking at Loki in front of him, calm and composed, as if he were not himself, who had just mocked and rejected Odin.

Even Thor, who considered himself to know Loki's personality exceptionally well, couldn't help but twitch his lips at this moment.

Odin, on the other hand, was not surprised at all, as if he had expected this scene.

Upon seeing this, Thor, recalling Odin's words just now, couldn't help but ask, "Father, did you foresee all of this?"

Odin, pale-faced, looked at Thor's puzzled expression and smiled, saying, "No, I simply sensed the signal emanating from the Mind Staff in Loki's hand and took the opportunity to release Asgard's communication barrier to the outside world."

"The original owner of the Mind Scepter was Thanos, the ruler of the galaxy. As far as I know, he has never been kind to his defeated subordinates."

As he spoke, Odin glanced at Loki and continued, "Clearly, I guessed right."

Looking at Odin, who made no attempt to hide his true feelings, Loki shrugged and said, "You guessed right. Just now, the Chitauri under Thanos contacted me through some kind of backup plan left on the Mind Scepter. They gave me a good scolding and threatened me to get an Infinity Stone before Thanos's cosmic fleet arrives in the Nine Realms."

"Otherwise, when Thanos's space fleet arrives in the Nine Realms, he will make me, the loser, pay a heavy price."

Upon hearing that Thanos's cosmic fleet was about to arrive in the Nine Realms, Odin suddenly exuded a chilling and murderous aura.

"You're saying Thanos's army is about to arrive in the Nine Realms?"

Despite Odin radiating a terrifying killing intent, Loki nodded calmly and said, "Of course, otherwise why do you think I'd shamelessly come back?"

"For my life?"

"Heh, Thanos may be harsh on his subordinates, but he won't kill me just because of the defeat in the previous war. After all, I had already obtained the Tesseract as agreed and opened the portal."

"If it weren't for those Chitauri being so useless, I would already be the king of Midgard by now."

At this point, Loki slowly straightened up and said, "Since you know Thanos, you must also know what his so-called balance of all things is all about."

"Every time Thanos conquered a planet, he would cruelly slaughter half of its population to maintain what he called the balance of all things."

"While I don't want to become the king of Asgard, I certainly don't want to see the people of Asgard become the targets of Thanos's slaughter."

"I especially don't want anything to happen to my mother."

"Otherwise, why do you think I would have shamelessly come back?"

Loki sneered as he looked at the murderous Odin.

Every time a planet is conquered, half of its population is slaughtered.

What a brutal demon king!

Lorelei and the others standing nearby all turned pale after hearing Loki's description of Thanos.

After all, no normal person would want to face such a terrifying figure.

Even Thor, standing to the side, turned serious upon hearing this.

After discovering that Loki and the Chitauri were working together, Thor specifically asked Heimdall about the Chitauri and Thanos, who was behind them.

Naturally, Thor also learned about Thanos's pursuit of a cruel balance of all things.

To balance the ever-expanding demands of the universe and to rationally allocate its resources, Thanos would cruelly slaughter half the population of each planet he conquered in order to curb population growth and maintain the so-called balance of all things.

Even his purpose in collecting the Infinity Stones was to use their power to wipe out half the population of the entire universe more quickly and easily.

of course.

Rather than the reason of pursuing balance in all things.

Thor is more inclined to believe that Thanos's brutal atrocities of killing half the life on each planet he conquered were intended to intimidate those planets they had conquered and to rule them through bloodshed.

That's why.

When Odin heard from Loki that Thanos and his fleet were about to arrive in the Nine Realms, a sense of regret arose in his heart for the first time.

I should have known better than to send Hela into that explosion that lit up the entire universe.

At least.

With Hela's power and abilities, she could prevent Thanos from invading the Nine Realms after her death.

But now...

It's all too late now.

Reality didn't give Odin a chance to regret it.

"What a pity."

After letting out a soft sigh, Odin looked at Loki before him and said, "Tell me, child, what do you intend to do?"

Loki calmly replied, "We have no choice but to either stop them or surrender. We have no other option but to face Thanos."

At this point, Loki glanced at the large hole in Odin's chest, paused for a moment, and then continued, "Of course, it would be even better if the great King Odin could heal his wounds and then kill Thanos."

"Believe me, when that time comes, countless people will be grateful to you."

Before Loki could finish speaking, Odin shook his head and said, "Don't test me anymore, Loki. I can already hear your grandfather calling me."

As they spoke, Odin was given instructions by Fryka and Thor:

"Frekka, Thor, after my death, you helped Loki impersonate me to stabilize the situation as much as possible..."

After giving instructions to Fryka and Thor, Odin's gaze left his children for the first time, turning to Lorelei, Arryn, and the unfortunate airship pilot standing to the side.

As Odin swept his gaze toward him, the pilot of the airship, who had been bewitched by Lorelei, turned pale with fright, fearing that he would be killed if he overheard such a secret.

With a thud, he knelt directly on the muddy seabed.

"Your Majesty the God-King..."

"What a disgraceful fellow."

Before Odin could speak, Lorelei, the goddess of beauty, disdainfully conjured a purple divine whip and lashed it forcefully at him.

"Snapped!"

After a loud explosion, the airship pilot was knocked unconscious by a whip from the goddess Lorelei.

next second.

The whip lashed back, and before the airship pilot could even regain his senses, he was hoisted to the feet of the goddess Lorelei by the purple, divine whip.

Immediately afterwards, Lorelei's long, slender, white fingers pressed against his face, and then a burst of purple light appeared.

Not long after.

Lorelei, the goddess of beauty, tossed the airship pilot onto the seabed as if he were trash, then bowed her head and respectfully addressed Odin:

"Your Majesty, I have destroyed this guy's recent memories. He will have no idea what happened today."

After hearing today's secret, the unfortunate airship pilot was terrified, and the goddess Lorelei was just as frightened.

As one of the Asgardian gods, Lorelei, the goddess of beauty, understood Odin's terror far better than the ordinary Asgardian warriors.

so······

Before Odin could act, Lorelei, fearing that Odin would kill to silence the witness, took the initiative and erased the pilot's memory.

This gave him a glimmer of hope.

Because the goddess Lorelei knew very well that in giving that driver a chance to live, she was also giving herself a chance to live.

On the other side...

As Lorelei bowed her head, she also perfectly displayed the surging waves of her bosom before Odin.

"Stop with your little tricks, Lorelei. If I wanted to kill you, you would be dead already."

Looking at Lorelei, who was bending over, her voluptuous cleavage perfectly displayed before him, exuding an air of docility and fragility, Odin said calmly:

Odin knew perfectly well what Lorelei was thinking.

However, her worries were destined to be unfounded.

While it's important for Odin to have Loki replace him, he won't resort to violence at this crucial moment.

Although Lorelei's power was not particularly great, Odin did not intend to cause another god in the Asgardian pantheon to fall before his own death.

After scolding Lorelei, Odin turned to Arryn and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for saving my wife, Midgard."

Upon hearing this, Erin calmly replied, "I was entrusted with a task, so I simply did my duty."

Done.

Arlin seemed to sense that Odin had some secret he wanted to tell Thor and the others, so he took the initiative to say, "His Majesty Odin must have a lot to say to his family during this precious time, so I won't disturb you any longer."

"Thanks."

After nodding, Odin gently patted the Pegasus King beside him, then said to Arryn, "Now that the wormhole is closed and the Rainbow Bridge has been destroyed by the dark elves, you may not be able to return to Midgard for the time being."

"In that case, I'll have Lylton take you to the rear of Asgard to rest for a while. Once we find a way, Thor will take you back."

When Erin heard that Odin intended to have King Lylton of Pegasus take him to rest, he was slightly surprised, then readily nodded and said:

"Then thank you, Your Majesty Odin."

Erin doesn't have the skill to fly right now, so having a Pegasus makes it much easier for him to leave the muddy seabed than for Erin to do it himself.

Arlin picked up Jane, who was still unconscious, nodded to Thor not far away, and then jumped onto the back of Lydon, the King of Pegasus, who was standing next to him.

Meanwhile, Erin led his men to mount their horses.

Lorelei, the goddess of beauty who bowed to Odin, took the opportunity to say goodbye, then walked to the side of the towering Pegasus King and asked Erin on Lylton's back, "Mind having one more person?"

Upon hearing this, Erin nodded and said, "Of course I mind."

Arlin's words almost made Lorelei, the goddess of beauty who was exceptionally confident in her charm, doubt whether her charm had lost its effectiveness.

While Lorelei was in a daze, Erin patted the group of Pegasus Kings that were standing next to him.

Immediately, upon receiving Erin's signal, the King of Pegasus abruptly spread its retracted wings and began to run swiftly across the muddy seabed, ignoring the terrain.

However, before King Lydon could run a few steps, Lorelei, the goddess of beauty, regained her senses and leaped onto the broad back of King Lydon's horse.

With a quick movement, she placed one arm around Erin's waist, and with a flick of her still-burning whip, she caught the unfortunate man she had knocked unconscious in the distance and dragged him onto the whip.

"Sorry, I'm not asking for your opinion, Midgard."

As Lorelei, the goddess of beauty, instinctively pressed her soft body against Erin's back as she mounted her horse, a soft, ticklish sound whispered in Erin's ear.

At the same time, a pink aura continuously emanated from Lorelei, attempting to corrupt Erin's consciousness.

They seduced her and made her a puppet of the goddess Lorelei.

After the mental field keenly detected the alluring pink aura, a cold glint flashed in Erin's eyes.

"Ha, I haven't even settled the score with you yet, and you're already causing me trouble."

"However, this is for the best."

The next instant.

The mental field is rotating.

Combined with Arryn's illusion, Lorelei, who had been quite frightened by Odin and whose mind was unsettled, unknowingly fell into the illusion created by Arryn.

As the goddess Lorelei was trapped in an illusion, Erin subtly flicked his fingers, quietly manipulating the spiritual threads of Lorelei.

"Clang!"

As Erin flicked his finger, the spiritual thread connecting Lorelei's head to the void emitted a tremor.

At the moment the spirit thread vibrated, the goddess Lorelei behind Erin also trembled slightly.

but.

It only trembled for a moment.

Although Lorelei's body instinctively sensed something was wrong, her consciousness had already fallen into the illusion constructed by Erin.

···········

Looking at Lorelei, the goddess of beauty, leaving with Erin in the distance.

Loki, standing before Odin, said calmly, "Are we just going to let them leave like that? Lorelei is one thing, but the other guy is a Midgardian. If he gets word of this..."

Upon hearing this, Thor retorted, "In my opinion, Erin is far more reliable than Lorelei. He just saved Mother, while Lorelei..."

At this point, Thor paused suddenly, then looked at Loki with some confusion and said, "Also, wasn't it you who summoned Arryn to deliver a message to the Queen Mother?"

Thor hadn't forgotten why Arryn had asked him to take him to Asgard.

Loki, on the other hand, frowned slightly upon hearing this.

It seems he has no recollection of ever asking Erin to pass on a message to Queen Frikas.

Just as Loki was about to speak, Fricka suddenly glared at him and said, "You two, that's enough. This isn't the time to talk about this."

As she spoke, Frika stepped forward and reached out to support Odin, whose body was swaying slightly and who seemed unable to even stand.
