American comics: Starting with Luke the Maker

“I missed you so much, bro!”

The moment Thor saw Loki, he rushed over and hugged him tightly, almost crushing him. The force of the embrace was so great that Loki could vaguely hear the creaking of his bones.

“Don't force me to stab your kidneys, let go of me first!” Loki gritted his teeth and managed to say in Thor's ear.

“You're still so unreliable, Loki. I thought you would have matured a lot,” Sif said to Loki, clad in full armor, but her tone lacked her usual impatience and contempt.

“Aren't you going to introduce us?” Sif's eyes fell on Sylvie beside Loki, and she asked tentatively.

“Sylvie. Of course, that's the name I gave myself. I think you're familiar with my other name.” Before Loki could introduce her, Sylvie took a step forward and introduced herself, “I am Loki.”

“Loki?” Thor, who had released his brother, heard this familiar name and was momentarily stunned. He looked at his brother with a shocked expression, as if asking if it was true.

Faced with his brother's shocked gaze, Loki nodded with a wicked smile, adding insult to injury: “It's just like you think, Loki, a female Loki.”

“Another universe's you? To be honest, I find her much more pleasant to be around than you.” Sif raised an eyebrow. She didn't like Loki, who was always playing pranks and lying, but was weak in battle. Asgard valued courage and was a race full of martial virtue. Although she was a woman, her fighting power was not to be underestimated even in Asgard. She sensitively sensed the aura of a warrior from the female Loki.

At least this beautiful Loki didn't seem as delicate as her gender suggested.

“What should I call her? Sister?” Thor had a headache. He couldn't even manage one brother, and he already had a sister who opposed him. Now there was another sister. Was this going to drive him crazy?

“Actually, sister-in-law would also work,” Loki said fearlessly.

Thor nodded with a smile, but the smile on his face suddenly froze, as if he had absorbed too much energy for the first time, causing his body to become extremely heavy and unable to move. He froze in place. He looked at his brother with panic.

Sif was also taken aback by Loki's words. It seemed she had never imagined that Loki could have such a strong mentality and unique taste.

“Tell me, it's not what brother thinks,” Thor said in a dry voice, pleadingly asking Loki.

“No, it's exactly what you think,” Loki replied with a mischievous smile, giving Thor's heart another major blow.

“Liking yourself? This is really…” Sif shook her head, not finishing her sentence. But without a doubt, Loki's operation this time had also opened her eyes and shocked her to a certain extent.

But who cares! It was Loki, not Thor, right?

If Thor fell in love with another universe's version of himself, then she would be uneasy.

“I have nothing to do with him.” Sylvie punched Loki in the eye socket, then turned around and declared righteously to Thor and Sif.

Thor looked in astonishment at his brother, who was covering his eye socket, his hand clenching into a fist and then releasing. Logically speaking, if someone beat his brother in front of him, he would definitely have to say something, but what if the person who beat his brother was his sister, another universe's Loki himself? What should he do?

After pondering for a moment, Thor decided to ignore it.

Sif's affection for Sylvie instantly increased. She had wanted to do this for a long time! Of course, she could see that Sylvie was embarrassed and angry, not just simply rejecting him, but what did that matter? So far, the other party was more likely to be recognized by her and arouse her goodwill than Loki.

“How interesting, it seems that the pressure I've given you isn't enough. You can still laugh now.” A proud and cold female voice came from behind.

Thor and the others' expressions changed, and they turned around to see Hela, tall and with a cold face, walking towards them step by step. Beside her was a huge black wolf.

“Why are you here?” Thor subconsciously wanted to reach for his hammer, but the hammer was still in Asgard. Sif and Loki also seemed to have PTSD and instantly took a fighting stance.

“Do you want to fight me here? I don't mind.” Hela ran her hands through her hair, and her hairstyle and clothing immediately changed to a combat posture.

“Enough! Don't embarrass me here.” A heavy reprimand filled with divine power resounded in the minds of Thor and the others, who were on the verge of drawing their swords. Odin, holding his Gungnir, appeared instantly, stopping his children who seemed about to fight.

“Father!” Thor and Loki were overjoyed, as if they had seen reinforcements.

Hela's expression was a little ugly. She wanted to draw her sword against Odin, but from the energy shock just now, she could feel that the other party's strength had leaped again, far exceeding her limit of understanding. This made her restless heart temporarily calm down. Judging from the other party's vitality, although he looked old, the vitality in his perception was like the sun of a young man, vigorous and exuberant. She didn't want to be imprisoned back in the underworld again. Although she would be completely free when Odin died, judging from his vitality, Odin's death was probably a distant wait.

“Your taste is still so bad.” Hela snorted, her combat posture dissolving, and she returned to a gentle appearance. As long as she also mastered the method of increasing her strength, as long as her strength was strong enough, then her rebellion would still come as scheduled.

“Let's go in.” Odin had a headache about the relationship between his children, but later he thought that he had already stepped down, and the divine power of Asgard was no longer under his control, and many of the permissions that belonged to the King of Asgard had also been handed over, so he was relieved.

The affairs of Asgard and the Nine Realms had little to do with him now. He was now somewhat envious of the Ancient One. Although there were conflicts in ideals among the mages of her lineage, everything was still within a controllable range. The young mage who inherited the title of Sorcerer Supreme might not be very smooth and shrewd in handling affairs, but his ability was outstanding enough, and the Ancient One didn't need to worry too much.

Even the Ancient One seemed to have completely let go and really didn't interfere in any of the affairs of the Sorcerer Supreme lineage. But thinking about the methods she was good at, perhaps from the beginning of her resignation, she had already observed everything.

“Long time no see at the meeting, are you all well, my allies?” At the table, Mephisto, wearing a silver-white bone mask, vividly showed the four words 'high-spirited'.

Back then, someone drew him a big pie, and he originally thought it was a project that would take a long time to see returns, but he didn't expect that in just a few decades, the energy bank had already had a basically stable structure and many profitable projects. This made Mephisto once again rejoice in the choice he made back then.

Although the choice he made back then was based on greed.

“Odin, is this your daughter? This is really good.” Another energy humanoid, like a cloud of black mist, sat in another seat, its eyes flashing with colorful light, looking at Hela and the others who were seated behind Odin with satisfaction.

“Nick, the plans and scripts you've submitted recently are not satisfactory. Are you slacking off?” Nightmare, dressed in green, appeared and set his sights on Nick in the other corner. He roared aggressively, “I gave you [money], you can't use those defective products to fool me! My recent dream income has decreased a bit!”

“You're urging too quickly, and the version is updating too fast. I suggest you slow down and give those planners a little breathing room. They're so squeezed that they really have no inspiration left,” Nick, who was named, stood up with a wry smile.

“I don't care, you and Luke promised me!” Nightmare's shrill voice sounded again.

“I'm relieved to see you're still so noisy.” The Ancient One leisurely made tea in her seat, with a satisfied smile on her face. Beside her sat the current Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange. Behind them were the mage groups led by Wang and Mordo, clearly divided into two factions.

“Do you have anything else to deal with? If not, this meeting is about to begin.” Luke's figure appeared in his seat. He put on a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, and his eyes scanned around through the lenses.

The surroundings instantly quieted down, and even Nightmare temporarily sealed his mouth, looking expectantly at Luke, who was holding a stack of documents in his hand.

“This meeting is to make a summary of the past and a plan for the future, including the redistribution of share quotas based on contributions,” Luke said.

Upon hearing this, the participants all became serious for a moment.

“I think you've already seen, or even investigated, that new universe. It's a large universe that has different distinctions from our universe. Although it hasn't been completely developed yet, there's no doubt that its potential is extraordinary and has extraordinary significance for each of us present. The powers it possesses have also solidified the foundation of new energy for the energy bank.

At least the new energy is now dimensionally capable of devouring and assimilating those powers, and is enough to be comparable to legendary powers. For example, Chaos Magic?

I think you should all be clear about the meaning of this, which means that our power will once again gain a substantial climb! For example, Dormammu, you often don't have to look at the face of the Great Lord Cyttorak anymore,” Luke glanced at Dormammu, the energy humanoid, at the end.

“That place is indeed good, and there is also the existence of Hell. If I can annex the Hell there, it will make my Hell dimension more stable and powerful,” Mephisto said with a greedy expression.

“There are also Hell Gods there, you'd better not mess around.” Luke frowned, worried that this guy Mephisto would do something to disrupt the plan out of greed. Although now, with the use of new energy, these demon gods present can mostly maintain their sanity and calmness, but no one can say for sure.

“Of course I won't mess around easily!” Mephisto seemed dissatisfied with Luke's distrust, and he muttered a sentence.

“If your actions cause twists and turns in our plan to develop that universe, then according to the regulations, your shares will be reduced depending on the situation and given to those who solve the trouble,” Luke reminded.

Mephisto froze for a moment and fell silent.

“Because that universe was discovered by Steve Rogers, and I found and established the data framework, the income from that universe should first be allocated to me and the forces of Midgard represented by Steve Rogers, that is, S.H.I.E.L.D. The rest, we discuss the share to be incorporated into the energy bank, and the subsequent division depends on our respective means,” Luke said again.

Everyone had no objection to this. Anyway, no matter what, the energy bank was the big head, and all of their current wealth was mostly tied to the energy bank. The remaining share was like a dividend, which could be used to supplement themselves.

“In addition, I went public through a shell company, rebranded an organization outside a certain timeline, and merged it with the data dimension to form a new organization. I temporarily handed over the management of this organization to Loki of Asgard. But obviously, as this organization grows stronger and stronger, it needs some fresh blood. I hope you can all join and contribute your strength. This kind of effort has benefits. Things that you can't do well in the energy bank can be done with it,” Luke threw out another proposal.

Under the force of time, Mephisto quickly understood the ins and outs of the matter. They didn't care about this, just some power spokespersons. Even without this organization, they would all cast a wide net. This organization was just giving them a choice to divide their wide net into a more targeted net.

And those gradually emerging multiverse coordinates were undoubtedly a rich meal. Although they were not as effective as special universes, with high gains that could upgrade the quality of new energy, they were good in quantity and could be used to cultivate leek fields. After all, new energy required a large number of lives to provide spiritual power. Even if it was just the accumulation of quantity, it was good. At least it could solidify the foundation and spread their energy to every universe they searched.

“He can't do it, I should sit in this position!” Hela stood up from behind Odin and suddenly opened her mouth. After understanding all this, she was instantly moved. Compared to the endless multiverse, a throne of Asgard didn't seem worth caring too much about? Since her silly brother wanted it, then he could have it. She wanted more!

Of course, this was on the premise that she didn't know that Asgard had shares in the energy bank. If she knew, it would be another [I want it all] story.
