Shadow of the Beautiful World

On the terrace of the Golden Palace, the queen is talking to her daughter Loki.

They talked a lot, including Loki's own biggest secret, including the journey to the void, including the wrong things Loki did there, including Thor and so on.

It had been a long time since Loki had grown up that they had talked so openly.

All parents are looking forward to their children growing up, having their own lives, and full of expectations for their future, but the troubles of growing up are not only caused by children, but also partly come from the anxiety of parents.

The worst problem is here, only when the children grow up, parents will really understand the cruel reality that the children don't need them anymore.

It was an emotion mixed with loss and parting.

An emotion mingled with pride and pain.

It is not only children who have to learn to let go, but also parents.

I gotta go.

Under the setting sun, Loki hugged his mother, and she patted her mother's back. She saw Tianhou's long gray hair.

The once gentle mother is no longer young, just as Odin has entered the twilight years of his life ahead of schedule. Time is not friendly to humans, and the same is true for Asgardians.

I'm going, mother, I'm leaving here, I'm leaving home, I'm leaving you, I'm leaving Odin, I'm leaving Thor's shadow.

Loki said softly:

I have been shrouded in that shadow for too long. It has become my heart disease. I have tried to resist many times, but every time I will lose miserably. Maybe what you said is right.

My naive provocation is just a joke from my younger brother to Thor, who always thinks about protecting me unconditionally. When he never pays attention to this provocation, I have already lost.

There was a gleam of memory in the eyes of the mischievous god, and there was also a little hatred and relief.

she says:

Thor has something I've never had before. He can always use the dumbest way to defeat my carefully planned plots. It's not because I'm stupid, it's just because... he uses love against me, and I can Give it back to him, there is only malice.

How can malice defeat love?

Rocky let out a self-deprecating or sarcastic laugh, and she said:

How can I beat a person who never hates me? Even if I try to hurt him again and again, it's like a snake trick I played when I was a child. Doesn't Thor really know that the snake is what I became? ?

No, he knows, he's smarter than we imagined, he's just cooperating with me in his way, and wants to play that never-ending game with me.

You know what the worst thing is, Mom.

Rocky buried her head on the queen's shoulder, and she said:

The worst part is that I also indulged in that stupid trick, playing with him again and again.

He just has the ability to dissolve the evil that gushes out of my heart again and again.

I should become an evil god. I have a primordial dark side in my heart, which comes from a bloodline I didn't know, but under his influence, I became a god of mischief...

It's ironic.

Tianhou listened to her daughter's self-report.

When Loki showed the blood of the frost giant just now, she once thought that she was going to lose her daughter.

But now, she no longer has that worry.

Patting Loki on the back, she said:

It's proof that there's a good part of you, Loki, that makes you a better person, better than you ever imagined, and it's proof that your bond with Thor is deeper than you ever imagined.

Don't go, just stay here.

The queen took a deep breath, and she looked at the sleeping god king in the palace, her husband.

She said to Loki:

If you want to be king, if you really want to take on that heavy responsibility, I'll help you.

No.

Loki let go of his mother, who stepped back, wiped her eyes, and said:

I already have a better choice, mother, I have found my own way, this time the battle for the supreme mage is a good opportunity, I don't want to waste my life in Asgard.

she says:

I also want to see more scenery. I am an awkward person. I am chasing a chaotic life. I also want to see more possibilities in my life like Thor.

I'm not going to waste any more time playing a game with Thor that I'll never win.

There are so many interesting stories in this world, why can't I participate in them? I've wasted too much time, it's time to start a new life.

She also looked back at Odin who was sleeping in the palace, and there were more complex lights dancing in her eyes.

she says:

As for the throne, leave it there.

If I get tired of playing, I will come back. It would be even better if Thor can sit on the throne. I am also looking forward to the next time I meet my brother again. I hope that at that time, he will be ready to meet me again. Get ready for another game.

Tianhou looked at her daughter.

She stood on the edge of the terrace, letting the wind blow her long black hair, and her pretty face seemed to have made up her mind.

It is no longer possible to persuade.

Just like looking at the children who have really grown up and are about to travel far in life, all parents can do is to give the last blessing.

Then where are you going?

Tianhou asked:

The first stop of your journey, shouldn't it be time to get ready for the battle for the Supreme Mage you are about to participate in? In my heart, you have never been a person who will take the initiative to admit defeat, Loki.

Of course I won't admit defeat.

Loki grinned and said to his mother:

I'm going to the stars to find the strength that will allow me to win that competition. Didn't Raven say that if everyone has a hole card, then I must have one too.

I'm going to the Southern Galaxy, looking for Thanos, and getting the Soul Stone in his hand.

Loki blinked, she brushed her long hair fluttering in the wind, licked her lips, and said softly:

I guess this will be a great trip, and it would be great if we can play with those dangerous characters in the applause.

———————————

Loki decided to go to the stars to find a more winning power for himself.

But among the stars at that time, there was another guy who was returning to the earth quickly.

Peter Quill.

The free pirate who called himself Star Lord had spent more than 20 years as a human being in the most chaotic business in the Southern Galaxy, and he was still intact, with no missing or extra parts on his body.

This is enough to prove that this guy definitely has two talents, and that his personal luck must be good.

A very lucky man.

But no matter how lucky a guy is, if he keeps desperately looking for death, he will always encounter troubles that he cannot solve by himself, and he will always hand over his life to some dangerous people.

like now...

boom

The beam of the terrifying blue hadron light cannon rubbed against a red bird-winged shuttle, and hit a barren asteroid. This powerful shelling caused the asteroid to disintegrate quickly.

In the state of unbalanced rotation, the star is like a fast-rotating top, peeling off one piece of rock after another from the cracked earth, and flinging it to the surrounding stars.

It's a space chase that dances on the knife's edge.

The two parties to the war were Peter Quill, who was supposed to be alone, but now there was a burdensome Peter Quill, and a whole team of interstellar pirates from the southern galaxy.

That was the group that Quill used to work for, and it was the largest gangster organization in the southern galaxy.

It is worth mentioning that the leader of the interstellar pirate fleet, Yondu the Predator, known to everyone in the Southern Galaxy, is the guy who once took 8-year-old Peter Quill away from the earth.

The same alien pirate with blue skin and weird mechanical fins on his forehead who raised Quill as a baby.

But his purpose of raising Quill was not pure.

How should I put it, perhaps it is more for my own benefit.

You guys are really crazy!

Quill drove a bird-wing-like shuttle painted in red, and shuttled quickly in the vast starry sky.

The ship was almost identical to his previous Miranda.

This is natural.

These bird-wing-shaped spaceships are the standard spaceships of the Yondu Pirates. They are uniformly ordered products from the shipyard on Xandar, and this ship was also named Miranda by Quill. Stolen from the mothership.

Maybe it's more appropriate to call Ming Qiang.

In short, while holding the joystick, Quill yelled at the communication device that was turned on:

Yondu, you lunatic with no brains! I said it all, that damn stone is not in my hands! It was taken away by the Asgardians, and the Asgardians are now on Earth. You directly Go to the earth to grab it! What are you doing chasing me?

You're the one with no conscience!

A hoarse voice sounded from the communicator, together with a shaky holographic projection.

What appeared on the projection was Yondu himself.

The shape of this alien is no different from that of the earthlings, except that the skin is blue, and there is a red, weird mechanical device on the forehead, which looks like Mohawk hair from a distance.

This guy is wearing a dark red leather jacket that matches Quill's style, and there are many angry interstellar pirates behind him.

Yondu put his hips on his hips and screamed to Quill who was frantically fleeing in the pursuit of the pirate fleet:

You little bastard! You have forgotten that I raised you with shit and piss! If I knew you were so heartless now, I should have let my companions eat you! They never tasted The taste of earthlings...

Nimma!

Quill burst into a swear word, he said a little madly:

Normal people don't eat people at all, okay! You raised me just to let you steal money for you... Bastard, don't mention these damn past events, I will say it one last time, Yondu, that stone is not with me!

Then you should stop first.

Yongdu said slowly:

You stop, come to the base camp, let us search and search, if you are really not there, I will let you go, you know, our big family will still welcome you as before.

I stop and I'm dead!

Quill pushed the joystick all the way.

The thrusters at the rear of the red spaceship ignited wildly, as if being punched by a giant. The spaceship screamed and rushed forward, narrowly dodging several beams of light.

Quill gritted his teeth and reset the course on the navigator while operating at the limit.

The destination is set on Earth.

He left the earth more than 10 days ago, which is very different from his original plan.

The reason is that when he visited his hometown in Colorado, he ran into a group of s..l.d. people near Raccoon City. The free interstellar pirates did not change their wandering style on Earth.

He tried to use his charm to hook up with the charming black widow Natasha, but after he failed, he planned to force himself to be the overlord...

This caused some small conflicts between him and the hunks of s..l.d.

The price of this teasing was that he was knocked out with a shield by the legendary hero Steve, and then he was caught and stayed at the Raccoon City base for half a month. After confirming that he was harmless, Commander Hill ordered him to be released.

During that period, Quayle got to know the superheroes well, and his ability to make friends was not covered.

In short, in the end, s..l.d. made up for the ferry ticket for him at the star port of .b, and then sent him out of the country as a gift.

But the journey back to the Southern Milky Way was not safe. The civilian spaceship was robbed by a group of interstellar pirates that descended from the sky just after it flew out of the Kuiper Belt for a few astronomical units.

Quill was shocked to find that the ones who robbed the spaceship were his old friend Yondu and his pirate group.

This group of guys who are desperate for money actually chased the power gem all the way across the galaxy...

The next thing is very simple, Quill was captured, and then, with the help of some prisoners, grabbed a shuttle and escaped.

Fortunately, this place is not far from the solar system, and it is possible to return to the hometown in a short time by relying on a shuttle that cannot perform space jumps. Yondu doesn't know what went crazy, he stubbornly believes that the power gem is in the hands of Quill.

Uh, that's true.

What happened in the Void has spread throughout the galaxy in the past, and many escapees have witnessed the entire process of Quill and the group of hard men fucking the Collector.

In short, this misunderstanding is currently unresolved.

No one knows the style of interstellar pirates better than Quill. Yondu said it nicely, but as long as Quill dares to stop and run away, he will definitely be hit by a hadron cannon.

He must escape!

Earth...

Quill glanced at the interstellar flight suspended on the console, he gritted his teeth and said to Yondu's projection:

For the sake of the past, I warn you, Yondu, Earth is the most dangerous place in the galaxy!

There live monsters who will eat you for breakfast! A whole bunch of monsters who call themselves superheroes, and I'm friends with them!

The entire solar system is their territory...you better not follow!

hehe!

Yondu scoffed at this, he sneered and said:

Don't be funny, Quill, it's not that I haven't been to Earth. That world is just a backward planetary civilization. There is no power in the entire solar system that can resist the predator fleet. Your rhetoric can't fool me!

I also warn you at the end! Stop the ship, or...

Dry!

Quill raised his middle finger rudely towards the projection, and he shouted:

Then come along, you bastards.

I'm going to call my new friends and let those hunks kick your asses!

I'm calling someone now! Just wait for me!
