Shadow of the Beautiful World

That madman!

In the hotel in the void, Thor gulped down a glass of weird beer, then smashed the glass in his hand on the table.

Uh, yes, there is a hotel in this damn place.

Because of the recent activity of collectors, the place of nothingness that no one paid attention to has become lively, and people with dreams of getting rich come here continuously.

Not only did it provide collectors with enough available manpower, but it also gave birth to the most primitive economy in this ghost place.

Where there are people, there are hotels. This is the most basic truth.

Because the power gem passed by this place 2 days later, Thor and Loki booked a room in this hotel and planned to take a risk.

See if they're lucky enough to return home with a gem that ends the war.

But now, in addition to recharging their energy, the brothers also face another trouble.

He actually wants to treat the two of us as collectibles!

Thor gritted his teeth and took another big gulp of wine. He didn't say a word to Loki, who was sitting in front of the mirror combing his hair, and said:

If I still hold Mjolnir in my hand, I will definitely knock him on the head! I swear, I swear in the name of Odin! That neurotic lunatic is humiliating us!

It's not really a humiliation.

Compared to Thor's anger when he felt offended, Loki was very rational.

The beautiful girl leaned back on the chair and checked her hands casually. In the handbag she carried with her, a pack of ladies' cigarettes bought from Manhattan fell into her hands.

With one hand on the chair and a cigarette in the other, the graceful Loki said to Thor:

Perhaps in his view, this is nothing more than a normal thing.

You just saw that lunatic, I mean, in the life treasure house of the collector, there are all kinds of lives, orphans of those races, you also saw that that person is indeed collecting unique lives

Especially the duck with the pants on, Howard the Duck, right? You've seen it on Earth too.

That's just a projection.

Thor waved his hand and said:

When S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't collapsed, I saw that duck at Pegasus Base once. It had been to Earth and left that world, but it was caught by collectors for some reason, and it became It's become a collectible.

This kind of behavior of using life as a collection is really too bad!

Thor grabbed his glass angrily, and said:

If Merlin saw it, he would definitely beat that guy hard.

Don't mention that name in front of me!

When she heard the name Merlin, Loki's expression became much darker. She put out the cigarette in the ashtray, and walked behind Thor with her long legs.

Like the violent sister every older brother encounters, pounding Thor's head with his fist.

Okay, I was wrong, stop! It hurts!

Thor held his head in embarrassment and shouted to Loki:

I won't say it, well, I shouldn't mention it.

You idiot!

Loki took a step back, she rubbed her sore wrist, she walked to the glass window of the hotel, she looked at the noisy city night scene below, which was completely different from Asgard.

She thought for a few seconds, then turned to Thor and said:

Is it true what the collector said? If one of us was sent to him as a collection, would he tell us where the other gems are?

How do you want me to answer this question for you?

Thor leaned back on the chair. In the dim light of the room, he held the wine glass and looked at Loki's slender and pleasing back with an admiring gaze.

I have to say that my younger brother is really

Ah, damn it!

How can you have such a dirty idea!

Thor slapped himself sharply.

This movement woke up Loki who was thinking. She looked back at Thor who was buried in drinking, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of her mouth with green lipstick.

she says:

I do think, maybe this is an opportunity, Thor.

Um?

Thor asked in surprise:

What's the meaning?

I mean, if the Infinity Stones are really as powerful as the collectors say, then maybe the curse on me can also be solved with them, and this is just the first step!

With a bright gleam in Loki's beautiful large eyes, she said:

Just think, we can stop wars with one gem.

Father was defeated by the Supreme Mage with one gem. If we can collect two or three, Asgard will never have the disaster of war again!

Supported by infinite gems, it belongs to the king's majesty!

Loki's fingers clenched in the air, and she said:

Jortunheim, the frost giants, those grievances that have lasted for thousands of years, everything will be properly resolved, even you! Thor, you have lost your divine power, and Mjolnir has abandoned you, but it doesn't matter!

she says:

As long as we find the right gemstone for you, you can become Thor again! Yes, even more powerful than the Godhead of Thor

I think you are dazzled by power!

Thor snorted, completely uninterested in the bright future Loki described, and said:

You, mother, father, and Sif, Vostagg and the others, you always think that it is unacceptable for me to lose the hammer. It must be very painful.

It's true, it was painful at first, and I was in that kind of despair for a while.

Thor picked up the wine glass and put it in front of his eyes. He looked at the amber liquid shaking in the glass and said:

You've had it, over 1,500 years, it's been with you from a time you've forgotten, it's like a part of you you're proud of, you're proud of it.

You take its requirements as the criterion of your life, and put it within your reach every day when you go to sleep, just like a little boy who is unwilling to give up a new toy.

The first thing you do when you open your eyes the next day is hold it and see if it still recognizes you.

But is that life? Brother, Rocky

Thor looked back at Loki, with an indescribably chic and relieved look in his blue eyes, and he asked:

Life bound by a warhammer, under its command, keeps joining one battle after another, and takes battles for granted.

You enjoy that power, you think it's yours, and it will always be yours.

The thought that you're going to lose it, that imagining makes you breathless, overwhelmed. Is that life?

that is not!

Thor raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

He patted the table happily, and said to Loki who was silent beside him:

I thought I'd be heartbroken to lose it, Odin, Thor can't lift his own hammer, he's not Thor! He's a piece of shit!

He spoke exaggeratedly, and then laughed again.

He was silent for a few seconds, then said softly:

No, Loki, I don't feel that pain now.

It abandoned me, which made me very disappointed, but after the pain, I learned to accept the new life, embrace the new world, enjoy every morning of myself, enjoy every minute and every second of being with my lover.

I laugh when I should laugh, cry when I should, I am no longer bound by the rules of a warhammer, I don't need to force myself to be a hero of justice

I am me, I am me! The real me.

Thor laughed, and said to Loki:

I no longer live as Thor, the god of thunder, and I am not endorsed by Warhammer. What I lose is not everything. What I lose is the shackles, the shackles of power, which prevent me from living well.

He looked at Loki with a smile, and said:

Seriously, which normal person would regard the hammer as his mission? Which normal person would be so crazy about war? And which normal person would be so irritable?

Don't be fooled by power, Loki, I am your biggest and truest lesson. Having a godhead is a cruel dream, and there is always a time to wake up from the dream.

You should also learn not to blindly hold the hammer that doesn't belong to you, and then let it ruin your life. You are the one who will be king in the future. Never do that!

Thor stretched out his finger and pointed to his head.

He said:

Your intelligence, which I have never possessed, is your greatest weapon.

Odin is on board.

Loki was dazed for a few seconds, then covered his face, and said in a tangle:

When did you start, you can actually preach to me? You are very open-minded now, Thor, but I have bad news for you.

Um?

Thor looked at Loki, who shrugged and said:

You've got something added to your drink, and after about 30 seconds you'll fall into a coma, but it won't hurt your body.

With a wide, bright smile on Loki's pretty face, she said:

I have carefully considered the collector's suggestion, and I think it is very good. I will give you to him as a collection and get the information I need from him.

But don't be afraid, brother.

She reached out and touched Thor's dull face, and said:

That lunatic can barter. After I save Asgard, I will exchange you with an infinite gem and make a small sacrifice for my hometown.

Why are you doing this?

Thor felt the paralysis coming from his body, he looked at his sister with an incredible look, and he said:

Would you rather believe a madman than me?

No no no no.

Loki stretched out his hand and lifted Thor, who was unable to move, from the chair.

Uh, princess hugs.

A big beauty holding a handsome guy like this, to be honest, it's quite eye-catching.

As she walked forward, amidst the sound of high-heeled boots stomping on the ground, Loki looked into Thor's eyes, and she said:

I trust you, especially after you gave up your right of inheritance, I trust you very much, but Thor, you always say that it will not be so easy for me to become king in the future.

In our family, there are many secrets that you don't know. Everyone hides it from you to protect you, and I am the same. What I want to tell you is that I also hope to become a king and a son that makes my parents proud.

But even now, as long as I look up, I can still see those shadows.

Loki pursed her lips, and she said:

Belongs to your shadow.

I must come out of your shadow, and I must earn the approval and respect of the people.

I must be like you, do something for them, save them, learn from you, and become a responsible person.

At Niflheim, I almost screwed up, but this time I won't.

Loki put Thor on the bed.

She quickly wrapped Thor up with a sheet, like packing.

She winked at Thor, and said:

When I save Asgard, I will come back to pick you up, I swear in the name of Odin, I will wrong you to stay in the collector's cage for a while, trust me, Thor, I will not let you down .”

Rocky

Thor's will was a little fuzzy, he looked at Loki, and he said with difficulty:

Don't look for danger you can't handle

Go to sleep, brother.

Loki leaned down, and in the smell of perfume, she kissed Thor's forehead lightly.

She looked into Thor's face, and she said softly:

You will always be the best brother.

The space gem is hidden on Earth, in the secret base of S.H.I.E.L.D., er, no, the Eye of the Sky, and you can easily get it.

The Soul Stone is hidden on a planet called Vormir, guarded by an evil spirit captured by the gem, oh yes, that soul comes from Earth, tsk tsk, what a weird place, isn't it?

The Soul Stone is very arrogant. It needs you to prove that you are qualified to own it. You have to sacrifice your most precious soul to get it in exchange for a soul. What a little bitch.

The last is the gem of reality, which is hidden in the cracks of many worlds, and was sealed by your grandfather Boer the Great himself.

You can't get it now, and no one can get it in this world, but with the arrival of the celestial sphere convergence, the barriers of the worlds will be opened, and at that time, the reality gem will become very active.

In the collector's treasure house of life, the collector walked around a glass cage a few times in amazement. He looked at Thor who fainted in the cage with satisfaction in his eyes.

He chattered to the expressionless Loki standing aside:

But having gems is not enough.

Gems represent power. Powerful power requires a material carrier, and you also need to prepare a carrier for the gems. Since you have sent me two of the best collections, I will tell you another piece of information.

The Collector said to Loki:

The dwarves of Nidaville have the ability to forge such a carrier. I heard that you Asgardians have a good relationship with them, so you can get it easily.

Do you have any other questions?

Gone.

Loki recorded the whereabouts of several gems in detail. She looked back at Thor in the cage, and she said to the collector:

We agreed, you must take good care of my brother, and at the right time, I will exchange him for an infinite gem.

If my brother loses weight by then, or gets hurt

No!

The collector waved his hand, and he promised:

I have always cherished my collection very much, especially such a rare, valuable, and rare collection. The situation you said is impossible.

Go, Ms. Rocky, collecting gems is a difficult journey, you should start now

Oh, by the way, are you sure you don't need me to help you undo that curse? Although it's a bit troublesome, it's not impossible.

forget it.

Loki stroked her black hair and walked towards the door. She said quite chicly:

I suddenly feel like I am now

fine.
