Shadow of the Beautiful World

It wasn't Odin's idea to send Thor and Loki to the stars to find the Infinity Stones.

In fact, the idea of ​​using the Infinity Stone to end the war was born after seeing her husband being expelled by the Supreme Sorcerer with the Time Stone.

The Infinity Stone was originally just one of the countless illusory legends in this universe.

But now, the Stone of Time has appeared, which means that this legend is true.

As one of the most powerful witches among the stars, Frigga had the idea of ​​pursuing the Infinity Stone almost immediately.

But not for herself.

But for their own country and people.

The Time Stone can expel three Heavenly Fathers at once, so the Power Stone and the Mind Stone are equally powerful.

The reason why these two stones were chosen instead of other infinite stones was because Tianhou had just done a large-scale divination, and the result of the fortune told her that these two stones were the easiest to obtain.

The Time Stone is held by the Supreme Mage, and if Thor and Loki take it, it is death.

As for the space stone, in Tianhou's divination, a mysterious message told her not to touch that stone, it would bring disaster to Asgard.

If she were to find the Reality Stone, she would most likely lose a son.

And to find the Soul Stone, she is likely to lose both sons at the same time.

Tian Hou is proficient in divination, and she is convinced of this result.

After leaving the Great Rune Tower, Loki and Thor went to the arsenal of the Golden Palace together, where they were going to prepare equipment for the journey.

On the way, Loki and Thor chatted, and the relationship between the two did not seem to have become estranged because they hadn't seen each other for a long time.

So, are you going to marry that Jane on Earth?

With his hands behind his back, Loki asked softly:

Does Sif know about this?

she knows.

Thor laughed, and said:

Actually, it was Sif's idea. She didn't want me to leave regrets on earth...Jane will always grow old, and time is not tolerant of her.

He said to his brother:

After you become king, maybe I will come back, or Sif will go to Earth to accompany me.

You bastard!

Loki reached out and hammered on Thor's shoulder. He said half jokingly, half jealously:

Stupid people have stupid blessings. Both girls love you so much. Alas... there is no woman I admire who will give me so much.

It's because your vision is too high.

Thor put his arm around his brother's shoulder, and said:

There are so many noble girls in the Golden Palace who are interested in you, but you just play with them every time, but never talk about your feelings. You are a famous vagabond, I know.

But you'll always settle down, brother.

Thor breathed a sigh of relief, he looked at the bright sun and sky of Asgard, he said:

A man who has a family is perfect.

I don't have much hope for that.

Loki snorted, he didn't want to discuss it.

But the next moment, he said to his brother in a strange way:

Tell me, if I were a woman... would Sif and the others still have a chance?

???

Thor's expression changed.

He let go of the hand holding Loki's shoulder, he thought for a moment, and then said in a strange tone:

What, Loki, you know I'm a doctor on Earth, and I, my same-sex...

What are you thinking!

Loki sneered, and said:

I'm just joking. We grew up together. Don't you know my orientation? I'm normal, okay?

Scared me.

Thor pretended to brush his chest, and he said with an exaggerated smile:

I thought it was only a few months since I hadn't seen each other, and my younger brother became a little unknown to me, hahahaha.

Let's not talk about that.

Loki waved his hand. The handsome mischievous god looked around. He lowered his voice and said to Thor:

The queen mother is hiding something from us!

Um?

Thor's footsteps stopped, and he asked:

What's up?

About Hela.

Rocky says:

Aren't you curious? Why did our sister fall out with our father? Is it really just because of inflated ambition?

Also, since father and mother were able to cover up Hela's matter so well, tell me, will they also cover up other people.

For example, for our other relatives, do their parents really only have three children, us and Hela?

Why do you think so?

Thor asked with a strange expression:

Having a Hela is already amazing. I'm still in a mess. How can you think that we have other brothers and sisters?

Because there is always a weird sculpture on my mother's dressing table!

Loki narrowed his eyes and said:

Do you remember? When we were two kids, we sneaked into my mother's room and played Valkyrie, that sculpture in her dresser cabinet! Golden, angelic sculpture!

Asgard has never had angels, that's something from heaven...

Rocky says:

At that time, we just thought it was a work of art from outside the region, but after the Hela incident came out, I instinctively felt that the sculpture was not simple...

Do you still remember that when we were young, we saw more than one time when our mother stroked the sculpture and shed tears silently?

Yeah, there is.

Thor also nodded, and he said:

I remember it quite clearly, but my mother will definitely not say it, at least not now.

Thor sighed, and said:

And now is not a good time to ask this question, brother. Let's talk about it after we return from the stars and this war is over.

That's right.

Loki shrugged. Thor was right. If the Empress wanted to hide something, then the two brothers would never find out.

After all, their queen mother is the most powerful witch among the stars.

I'll put the reins on the Gritter and Grinder.

In the corridor of the Great Hall of the Golden Palace, Thor said to Loki:

We'll go there in my chariot this time, and Heimdall will send us as close to the stars as possible. At the speed of two goats, we estimate that it will take us a week to reach that void.

Fine.

Loki didn't care about this, although he didn't like Thor's two rude and powerful pets.

But right now, at a time when most of the Zhutian fighter formations are being dispatched to the battlefield, the two brothers can no longer pick and choose.

Because of the strange location of the land of nothingness, there is no way for the Rainbow Bridge to send them directly to their destination.

I'm going to prepare some equipment.

Loki walked towards the arsenal without looking back, and asked:

Are you going to take the Destroyer there this time?

Take it.

Thor thought for a while, and said:

Although I have lost my divine power, I still want to protect you, brother. You are not good at fighting head-on. When you release magic, there must always be someone to buy you time.

I'm better than you now, Thor.

Loki said dissatisfied:

It's my job to protect you now, seriously, don't hold me back this time.

No, brother.

Thor laughed and said:

Never.

boom

The door of the Golden Palace Armory was slowly pushed open.

This is a huge warehouse, full of Asgard style. In the huge palace, there are many obsidian stone pillars, and some weapons and armor are placed on each stone pillar.

In the corner of the warehouse, there are bundles of javelins or spears, large shields and so on.

This place is like a weapon collection hall, the exquisite weapons forged by the dwarf masters of Nidaville are placed here, and can be used by the guards when the Golden Palace is threatened.

Of course, none of the real legendary soldiers will be placed here.

Odin will store those perfect artifacts separately in his own treasury.

At the end of the arsenal, amidst thousands of weapon guards, was the giant silver-white robot armor where the Destroyer that had nearly backstabbed Thor was placed.

This thing was originally placed in the treasure house.

But after it made a mistake, it was moved here.

That thing was the armor that Odin made for the legendary Ragnarok when he was young, but after Odin became stronger and stronger, the Destroyer seemed to lose its original function.

It is said that the God King built a more powerful armor to replace it.

Don't go crazy this time.

Loki walked up to the Destroyer, staring at the silver-white battle armor robot, he said:

I don't want to be hit hard from behind by you...

Then you have to watch your back carefully, God of Mischief.

Just as Loki finished speaking, a gentle voice sounded like a kind reminder from behind him.

Loki reacted swiftly, his figure drifted away for a moment, leaving a vivid phantom on the spot, and his body quietly disappeared in the shadows.

A second later, Loki appeared in the corner of the armory.

He held two ice daggers splashed with frost in his hands, and looked behind the phantom vigilantly.

But there was nothing there.

Are you looking for me?

The voice appeared behind Loki again.

The face of the mischievous god changed drastically. He turned his head and stabbed the sharp dagger behind him, but the stab missed again.

A few meters behind him, the Raven Lord wearing a black robe was standing in front of an obsidian stone pillar, and he was playing with a curved saber in his hand with admiring eyes.

Rune runes are engraved on the sword, which is mixed with Ulu gold. It is exquisite and practical, moderate in weight, and perfectly balanced. It looks like a real battlefield killer.

Unfortunately, the manufacturing process is not top-notch.

Even the wrath halberd that Merlin had before was too powerful, but it would be good to take back the weapons in the arsenal for his subordinates to use.

These exquisite cold weapons from Asgard are much stronger than the hot weapons on Earth.

How...how did you get in here?

Loki looked at Merlin who was playing with the saber. He had only seen Merlin in the projection of the two worlds before. He actually didn't know this weird earthling very well.

It was even more difficult for him to understand how this guy appeared in the arsenal without disturbing the guards of the Golden Palace and his parents.

Moreover, judging from his breath, this guy is no different from an ordinary person.

There was not the slightest breath of magic or power about him.

What you really want to ask is why I made a special trip here to wait for you?

Merlin put down the saber in his hand, his blue eyes glanced at the vigilant Loki, he listened to the voices of Loki's heart, and he recited those voices in full.

Just like a ruthless repeater.

What you really want to know is, did I come to you because of some grudges, wow, kid Rocky, you have offended so many people...

And what you want to know now is, why can I guess every thought in your mind...Huh? Are you actually a frost giant?

Merlin frowned, and he said in surprise:

Then I really underestimated you and Odin.

A look of horror flashed in Loki's eyes.

He is very cunning, and he is very good at language deception, but his strength... At least he is much worse than Merlin.

He backed away, trying to ask for help.

But after taking a few steps back, a hand was placed on his shoulder.

Another Merlin blocked his way out of the armory.

In front of his eyes, Merlin's body took a step forward, like a shining phantom, hundreds of illusory shadows spread all over the entire arsenal at this moment.

Those Merlins who were indistinguishable from the real ones were like cooperating individuals, picking up the weapons in the arsenal and putting them into their magic pockets.

You are also good at using illusions.

Merlin says:

Taste my illusion of vanity, Mr. Loki, I still have the shape of Ikon, I think you are more interested in it.

Orange light extended from all around the weapon arsenal, and with the sound of snapping fingers, a crimson chain of Cytorak overflowed, trapping Loki in place.

And Loki also waved his hand, throwing a magic with green light towards Merlin.

Merlin didn't even look at the attacking magic, he grabbed the book of Emperor Weissandir at his waist with his left hand, just like playing tennis.

With a casual slap, the flying black magic was slapped back on Loki by the Book of Weishandi, which can bounce back black magic.

The poor mischievous god was hit by the black magic he threw one after another, and was entangled in the crimson chain, unable to dodge at all.

In just a few seconds, Loki's body was covered with scars.

Snapped

Merlin's finger was on Loki's forehead, the smile in his eyes disappeared, and in that cold gaze, he said:

Because of your failed conspiracy, my wife has been kept in an evil spirit forever. Treasures like the Winter Box should not be your toys for grandstanding...

Because of your little thought, the scale of this war has been enlarged by at least 5 times...

Your father didn't punish you, perhaps because he saw your 'courage', but Loki, you and I are of the same kind, and I know exactly where your courage comes from.

Your brother is also my friend. For his sake, I won't hurt you.

But I'll teach you a lesson...

An orange halo surged from Merlin's fingertips, like a sealed chain, flowing on Loki's body, and his voice rang in Loki's ears.

He said:

Since you like to joke so much...

Then let me play a joke on you.
