I sparked a mysterious resurgence in Marvel.

Chapter 440 Fricca's Decision

of course.

Aside from the fear of Ragnarok, only Lorelei herself knows how much of her ambiguous and complex emotions towards Arryn were mixed in.

After all, with Lorelei's beauty and abilities, it wouldn't be difficult for her to escape Asgard and find a new place to stay if she really wanted to.

of course.

Even if she finds a new foothold, Lorelei still needs to fend off the pursuers from Asgard.

After all, Asgard, who value honor above all else, has always been ruthless in its pursuit of traitors.

Thinking of this, Erin looked at Lorelei thoughtfully and said, "So... you came to me?"

Is that strange?

Lorelei chuckled and said, "Since I'm leaving, I naturally have to choose the safest place."

"The Vanir gods of Vanaheim and the dwarves of Wat Ahlheim are getting too close to Asgard. If they are discovered going to these two places, they might report us directly to Asgard."

"The light elves of Alfheim are too proud; dealing with them is really not a good choice."

"Jotunheim and Muspelheim (the Land of Fire) are one of ice and one of fire. I don't want to suffer in such extreme environments."

"Wat Alheim (the Dark Realm) is a dark and barren land, and there may even be hidden dark elves waiting to take revenge on Asgard. It is not a wise choice for an Asgardian to go there."

"As for the underworld of Hell, ruled by the dead, heh heh, I don't want to die yet."

"After going through all these options, haven't you realized that Midgard is actually the most suitable choice for me? As the largest world in the Nine Realms, Midgard has abundant material resources to meet my daily needs."

"Moreover, with the rise of the Sorcerer Supreme, Asgard's influence over Midgard has long been reduced to zero. With the Bifrost now damaged, going to that world is the safest option for me, and it's also easier to hide."

At this point, Lorelei glanced at Erin and said, "Of course, most importantly, I can see you often in Midgard."

········

Meanwhile, Lorelei and Erin were having a private conversation in the [Private Space].

Amidst the banquet, the sound of hearts breaking seemed to echo.

When Lorelei's suitors saw that she had turned on the switch to "private space" and was sharing a room with that pretty boy from Midgard, their faces turned extremely ugly.

Tony Stark, who had deliberately lagged behind Arryn by a few minutes, couldn't help but curl his lip upon seeing this scene.

That's it.

Saying it's okay? You're kidding me.

After mentally complaining, Tony wandered around the banquet and then walked to the center of the banquet, where the dwarves were drinking like water.

Since that little guy Erin is unreliable, let him take on the important task of returning to Earth.

soon.

Through Tony's deliberate efforts to befriend him.

A lone dwarf befriended Tony Stark, a fellow lover of fine wine and with his own unique understanding of forging.

·······

On the other side...

Thor, who originally intended to introduce the dwarf king Eitrich to Arryn, saw Lorelei, who had previously seemed to have some disagreements with Arryn, and this time took the initiative to pull Arryn into a [private space].

He was so embarrassed that he froze on the spot.

Good guy.

When did the relationship between these two guys develop to this point?

Is it progressing that fast?

but.

I remember that Erin had a girlfriend on Earth, didn't he?

Silently, I labeled Erin as untrustworthy in certain aspects of his character.

Thor decided to keep his girlfriend Jane away from Erin from now on.

Behind Thor.

Eitre, the dwarf king who was waiting for Thor to introduce him to the Asgardian mage who could cleanse him of his corruption, suddenly stopped in his tracks when Thor appeared.

Somewhat puzzled, he asked, "What's wrong, Thor?"

"Well, there's been a slight mishap, so I might have to wait a little while before I can introduce you to Erin."

Upon hearing this...

Thinking something had happened, the dwarf king Eitrich's face immediately turned serious, and he asked anxiously, "What happened?"

Looking at the solemn and serious expression on the face of the dwarf king, Etri.

Thor said somewhat awkwardly, "It's nothing serious. Just now, a beautiful lady pulled my friend into the [private space], so... you know what I mean."

[Private space]?

King Eitri, the dwarf who was not very familiar with the word at first, quickly understood its special meaning in Asgard from the discussions of the surrounding crowd.

It turned out to be the case.

The dwarf king breathed a sigh of relief after figuring out the truth, but he was also somewhat amused and exasperated.

"Youth is wonderful."

After making a remark, King Eitrich of the Dwarves pulled Thor back to the center of the banquet to drink together.

Although King Etrigue could ask Thor to help open the door to the "private space" in the corner of the banquet hall, he would only do so if he were insane.

I came here to ask for help, not to make enemies.

If I were to ruin a beautiful encounter for that Midgard mage, who knows if the young man would hold a grudge against me?

and.

It's just a matter of waiting a little longer.

Having endured so many days, he could still wait for a while.

·······

In another palace.

Loki, who had not yet set off for the banquet with Queen Fricka, curled his lips into a mocking smile upon hearing the news.

"Private space?"

"Heh heh, it seems our Asgardian rose is already eager to find herself a new home."

"Well, that's not surprising, considering that this Rose of Asgard was also one of the people who knew the outcome of the great battle a month ago."

Speaking of it.

Loki shrugged at Frieza, the queen who had changed into another outfit and was heading to the adjacent banquet hall to entertain the dwarf king.

"I have said it before, you and Father are too kind."

"Even if we can't control her or restrict her movements, we must erase her memory. Otherwise, if she really leaks the news of her father's death, it will be too late for us to regret it."

Upon hearing this, Queen Fricka shook her head and said, "Loki, you're being too sensitive. Maybe it's just a perfectly normal date. After all, that little guy Erin is very handsome."

"Moreover, Lorelei is very smart. She can see how much we value Erin. This time, approaching Erin might also be an investment she's making in advance."

Lorelei, the goddess of beauty, has a history of deliberately getting close to people in high positions of power or promising young people.

Because, after hearing that Lorelei had taken the initiative to lead Erin into the [private space].

Aside from being slightly surprised by Lorelei's choice, pop diva Fricca didn't actually think too much about it at first.

but.

Loki's words, however, gave Fricca a sense of foreboding.

Before Loki could speak, Fricka changed the subject, saying, "But you're right, we can't show Lorelei unlimited mercy just because she's a member of the Asgardian gods."

"We cannot gamble the fate of Asgard with Lorelei's loyalty to Asgard, so..."

"After this banquet, I will place him under house arrest in a safe place."

Loki, who had initially thought that Frick would continue to be lenient with Lorelei, smiled slightly after hearing Frick's final decision.

"A wise choice. I assure you, Mother, you will not regret your decision today."

"However, compared to simple imprisonment, I believe that using the [Mind Scepter] to seal Lorelei's mind would undoubtedly be safer."

Although the gods of Asgard possess a more resilient will and stronger mental resistance than ordinary people, Loki was still confident that he could place a seal deep within her heart to prevent news of Odin's death from leaking out of Lorelei's mouth.

Since obtaining the Mind Scepter, Loki has spent a lot of time studying it.

Furthermore, the Chitauri's earlier activation of the Mind Scepter's backdoor allowed Loki to seize upon a weakness, enabling him to gain an even deeper level of control over the Mind Scepter.

now.

Even if the Chitauri have a backup plan, it won't be easy for them to lure Loki into that special dream again.

In addition to that.

Loki also discovered a deep-seated mark left by the Chitauri deep within the Mind Scepter. Once that mark is destroyed, the Chitauri, and even Thanos behind them, will no longer be able to control their position through the Mind Scepter.

of course.

It won't be easy for Loki to erase the mark that can leave a trace on the Mind Stone now.

However, compared to erasing the mark at the bottom of the [Mind Scepter], sealing someone's memories for a period of time is much easier.

Even if that person is a god of Asgard.

After watching Loki remain silent for a few seconds, Frika finally nodded.

·······

At this moment, Erin, inside the [private space], had no idea what had happened outside while he was talking to Lorelei.

Having confirmed that Lorelei was not lying and roughly figured out Lorelei's purpose, Erin finally looked slowly at the Siren's Love in front of her, whose steam had dissipated considerably.

Erin did not immediately drink the Siren's Love, a drink said to drive countless people mad and make them infatuated.

Instead, he took out the lucky coin, which was imbued with a lot of his own spirituality, from his spatial ring.

Although he had figured out Lorelei's purpose, Erin was not sure if this fickle woman would harm him.

Especially this glass of wine that she had personally served, Erin dared not drink it lightly.

So, he wanted to have his fortune told.

Is this Siren's Love drink harmful to me?

After silently counting to seven in his mind, Erin gently blew on the lucky coin he was holding between his palms.

Immediately afterwards, Erin flicked his finger lightly.

"Ding!"

Accompanied by a pleasant sound.

The coin, gleaming with spiritual light, was tossed from Erin's fingertips and tumbled in mid-air.

Each flip of the coin brings it closer to the spirit world.

pat!

When the lucky coin with the portrait printed on it came into Erin's view.

With a flick of his wrist, Erin put the lucky coin back into his spatial ring.

"This is... divination? Interesting."

As the coin flipped, Lorelei seemed to sense a mysterious power descending upon her, and a glint of light appeared in her eyes. She seemed surprised that Erin possessed such a mysterious ability.

But what is this guy divining at this moment?

Before Lorelei could even show any doubt.

next second.

He then saw Erin raise the glass of Siren's Love, which was emitting a misty aroma, and gently pour it into his mouth.

After a slight pause.

Lorelei instantly understood what Erin had just divined.

"Damn it, just how little does this guy trust me?"

Lorelei, who had never been treated like this before, gritted her teeth and glared at Erin, whose eyes were slightly narrowed and who seemed to be enjoying himself.

I wanted to shove the wine glass in front of this guy over the shoulder.

He splashed his own homemade Siren's Love wine right in the face of this clueless guy.

·······

The moment that pale blue liquid touches the taste buds.

ups and downs······

The various flavors, mixed together yet distinct in layers, exploded on Erin's tongue.

Followed by.

A slightly cool sensation spread rapidly through Erin's mouth along the tip of his tongue and then surged into his mind.

The rich aroma of wine, seemingly containing a blend of sour, sweet, bitter, and spicy notes, intertwined in Erin's mind, as if taking him on a journey through a hazy, beautiful love that was both unattainable and poignant.

Stimulated by this "love," Erin's mental energy became more active than ever before, as if the soil had been nourished by love.

Ok?

Subconsciously.

With his eyes slightly narrowed, Erin began to practice the [Cosmic Brain Meditation Method].

hum!

In an instant, the "soil" nourished by that siren's love was rapidly extracted with a large amount of nutrients under the operation of the [Cosmic Brain Meditation Method].

Then it transformed into wisps of misty energy, merging into Ailin's spiritual power.

It quickly enhanced Erin's mental strength by a small amount.

After experiencing the effects of the Siren's Love, Erin's eyes lit up slightly.

Then, in one gulp, he poured all the remaining pale blue liquid in the glass into his mouth.

Followed by.

Accompanied by the aroma that almost exploded in her mouth, Erin's mental energy quickly became active under the hazy deception of love.

Meanwhile, the "Cosmic Brain Meditation Method" was constantly operating in Erin's mind.

At this moment, it transforms into a ruthless harvesting machine, reaping indiscriminately and extracting the precious nutrients.
