In Loki's thousand years of memories, he'd never been this excited before.
Not even ascending the throne of Asgard, not even joining the chat group — nothing came close to how he felt right now.
The look of utter disbelief on Thor's face the instant he saw Loki pick up Mjolnir — that expression like he'd just been cuckolded — it was so satisfying!
Ordinary Group Leader: "I so want to see that expression!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "That envious face directed at me! Grin turns sinister.jpg"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Was that what you looked like at the time?"
Su Yunqing posted the classic Masked Rider W-Source meme. Loki glanced at it and touched his face with a hint of doubt.
He hadn't made that creepy a face at the time, had he?
Probably...
Richest Man: "Lifting Mjolnir right in front of Thor — I can picture Thor's expression perfectly."
Utaha: "Thor's devotion to Mjolnir is legendary."
Utaha: "Later he even let other people try lifting it."
Utaha: "I strongly suspect he was laughing internally every time they failed."
Richest Man: "Cut the suspect part — and it's not hidden laughter, he was already laughing out loud."
Richest Man: "Otherwise he wouldn't have instantly suppressed his expression when he saw Captain Mjolnir make it quiver, questioning whether his eyes were playing tricks on him."
Simulterrain: "If Captain Mjolnir had just gone ahead and lifted Mjolnir without worrying about Thor's feelings, that expression would have been something."
Utaha: "Turns out nobody expected Captain Mjolnir had secretly trained a whole combo with it. Hamburger.jpg"
Indeed.
If Captain America hadn't,最后一场战斗带着雷神之锤给灭霸来了一套连招,估计谁也没想到灯塔队长雷神之锤用的这么熟练.
It definitely wasn't the first time he'd used it. While Thor wasn't looking, Mjolnir had probably been wielded dozens of times already.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Even in the end when Stormbreaker existed, Thor's heart still belonged to Mjolnir!"
Simulterrain: "Didn't expect Loki could actually lift Mjolnir though."
Simulterrain: "Shouldn't he have been unable to pick it up?"
No wonder Daigu was puzzled — in the memory replica, Loki had never once lifted Mjolnir. When he'd transformed into Odin, even Thor used Mjolnir to test him, and Loki had surrendered at the last moment.
From the narrative, it was clear Loki couldn't lift Mjolnir.
So how was he lifting it now?
Ninth Prince of Qin: "Come to think of it, there's a deleted scene from the second Thor movie."
Ninth Prince of Qin: "Loki, imprisoned and still unwilling to accept his defeat, dreaming of becoming king — then imagining himself raising Mjolnir high."
Ninth Prince of Qin: "Why Mjolnir specifically, and not Gungnir?"
By every measure of status, Gungnir — the weapon Odin carried — should have been the more fitting symbol.
Loki: "Well..."
How should he know what his future self was thinking?
Ordinary Group Leader: "Isn't it obvious?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Was the throne of Asgard actually what mattered to Loki?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "No!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "He wanted to see Thor's face when he lost the contest for the throne."
Ordinary Group Leader: "He imagined himself taking the throne, and Mjolnir — his weapon — rising to acknowledge him."
Ordinary Group Leader: "More than any throne or Mjolnir, what Loki wanted was that exact expression on Thor's face!"
Ordinary Group Leader: "@Loki, how satisfying was it?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Seeing Thor's face like you'd just cuckolded him."
Su Yunqing teased Loki.
Loki didn't entirely agree with her framing — but the reality was undeniable.
Loki: "Hell yes it was satisfying!"
The throne? Give it away. That expression on Thor's face was a thousand times better.
Child of Nature: "Have you all been discussing the wrong topic?"
Baixuan watched the chat group veer from the Aid Mission straight into how to give Thor the horns, and spoke up flatly.
Loki: "Right!"
Loki: "Shouldn't we be discussing why I can lift Mjolnir in the first place?"
Loki: "I, the rightful King of Asgard, of pure Odin's bloodline, God-King Loki — lifting a mere hammer should be effortless!"
He was, after all, the very embodiment of justice and virtue!
What?
You say I pawned Odin, usurped the throne, committed acts of filial impiety?
Does that change that I'm a just and virtuous person?
As for kindness?
Wasn't he kind enough?
Just look at what inheritors of human kingdoms did to the siblings who had the ability to claim the throne!
He merely said in front of Thor that he had failed Odin's trust and had yet to find his true power — then casually produced Gungnir, lifted Mjolnir, and demolished Thor's spirit.
Had he actually done anything to Thor?
No.
He was moved by his own goodness.
As for being acknowledged by Mjolnir?
Ridiculous!
He was now pure Odin's bloodline, recognized by Asgard itself. Did a measly hammer think it could defy the heavens!
Simulterrain: "...."
The Most Ancient Godslayer: "It's impressive you can say all that with a straight face."
Was this what they got for calling him the God of Lies?
Ordinary Group Leader: "Ahem"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Back to business for real"
Ordinary Group Leader: "This Aid Mission is something we've never encountered before."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Seems different from a Transmigrator Crisis — it's not showing up in the mission function menu either."
Child of Nature: "An Aid Mission might not involve a transmigrator at all. The danger could come from someone in Loki's own world."
Child of Nature: "Otherwise the first transmigrator mission wouldn't have been a transmigrator mission — it would have been an Aid Mission."
Given the strength of that one — Uncle Jiu wouldn't have survived without them.
But even that was still a Transmigrator Mission, not an Aid Mission.
Ordinary Group Leader: "So Loki might be facing a threat from someone in his own world?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Seriously? He was fine until the fourth movie — makes no sense he'd die faster now that he's gotten stronger."
Su Yunqing found that hard to believe.
He was fine before joining the chat group. No way joining the chat group made him die faster.
Besides — what had Loki even done?
Other than joining the chat group, temporarily pawning Odin, cleaning out the entire Odin's Vault, and redeeming the Odin's Bloodline — he hadn't done anything!
So why was he suddenly about to die?
