Chapter 357: Loki: I Would Rather Die Than Open This Mission!
Richest Man: "Could it be that the Odin of this parallel timeline died at this time?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Impossible. If he'd died at this point, where would he get the fate to join the chat group?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "Dying at this point — at best he would've been a minor supporting character, less screen time than Jian Gao."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Impossible, impossible!"
Su Yunqing saw Tony's guess and directly shook her head.
Based on the Marvel movies, Loki might not be the main character, but he was an extremely important role.
Thor and the Avengers both had significant portions.
This amount of fate… hmm?
Why does it feel like even this much fate wouldn't be enough to join the chat group?
Utaha: "Is it just me?"
Utaha: "Why do I feel like even the Loki from the memory replica doesn't have enough fate to join the chat group?"
Fate and a character's screen time in the plot are closely related.
Loki's fate should be far less than the Avengers' core members.
After all, he was just a supporting character.
Ninth Prince of Qin: "Perhaps it's because after Loki's death, his screen time truly began."
Ninth Prince of Qin: "Before I crossed over, there was a Marvel series with Loki as the main character, but I didn't get to watch it."
Ninth Prince of Qin: "It featured Lokis from different timelines."
Ordinary Group Leader: "So this aid mission really might be about Loki dying?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "May Odin protect you, Loki."
Ordinary Group Leader: "Oh wait, Odin's been pawned. Never mind then."
Loki: "...."
No matter how much these people kept talking, he wouldn't believe he was going to die!
At this moment, Su Yunqing also asked in the chat group.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Chat group, can you release the specific mission details?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "The reward doesn't matter, I just want to see how Loki's going to die."
And after Su Yunqing's words fell, a cold mechanical sound rang in everyone's ears.
"Ding, group leader request detected. Mission content has been posted to the mission board."
Everyone also第一时间 went to look at the specific mission content.
[Aid Mission: Chat Group Member Loki's Marvel World]
[Mission Brief: Due to a major divergence in the original worldline, chat group member Loki is facing a death crisis. Because the crisis originates from the native world, the aid mission is being activated for the first time.]
[Mission Requirement: Ensure the survival of chat group member Loki during the war between Asgard and Jotunheim.]
[Mission Reward: To be provided by chat group member Loki himself.]
The mission wasn't long, but the information it revealed dealt severe damage to Loki's heart.
He had thought he was facing some immensely powerful enemy — one even he, after fusing with Odin's bloodline, couldn't defeat, and that would kill him.
And now you're telling him it's frickin' Jotunheim?
Loki: "I am the堂堂 King of Asgard, with pure Odin's bloodline, wielding Gungnir, the greatest mage in the Nine Realms, master of illusions — you're telling me I can't defeat a mere Laufey?"
Loki felt the chat group had treated him with contempt.
What war between Jotunheim and Asgard — this was clearly his fight with Laufey.
Even without joining the chat group, he could have killed Laufey. Now that he'd joined the chat group, was he supposed to die instead?
Heh.
Loki lightly laughed and shook his head.
He was no longer the Loki of the past!
With Odin's bloodline fused in him, under Asgard's favor, entirely new abilities had already been born.
This was a power completely different from Thor's thunder!
Lies!
Reality and falsehood were only a thought apart for him.
To say nothing of a mere Laufey — even one more Surtr would be nothing!
The Coffin of Infinite Winter and the Eternal Flame had both been sold.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Although I feel it's not that simple, @Loki, do you need me to activate the aid mission?"
Although the earlier chat group wasn't very reliable, even可以说是烂得不行, but now the functions were becoming more and more complete. The previous transmigrator missions had made mistakes too.
The chat group shouldn't be issuing missions for no reason.
But for a moment, Su Yunqing couldn't think of what reason could cause Loki to die in a war against Jotunheim.
The Coffin of Infinite Winter was gone, after all.
Loki still had Gungnir in his hand.
Richest Man: "This mission reward being provided by Loki himself is really f***ing骚."
The transmigrator missions at least贴点呢 — this time it's真的什么都没有.
Tony couldn't help but laugh.
Although Loki now had a massive number of points, Tony didn't think he would activate the aid mission.
At least not before Loki ate his humble pie.
After all, setting aside everyone else, the mission's stated opponent was Jotunheim.
If Loki actually activated the mission, wasn't that just admitting he was inferior to Laufey?
And a Laufey without the Coffin of Infinite Winter at that.
As expected.
Facing Su Yunqing's inquiry, Loki directly refused.
Loki: "Aid mission?"
Loki: "I would rather die than activate this mission — I would jump off Asgard itself first!"
Loki: "I'm heading to Jotunheim right now to kill Laufey."
Loki: "I'll let this stupid chat group know exactly how wrong it is!"
After making this big speech in the chat group, Loki, Gungnir in hand and a dismissive smile on his face, stepped into the Bifrost. As Heimdall looked on in confusion, a blinding column of light blazed across the heavens and landed on the frozen ground of Jotunheim.
As the Bifrost's light slowly faded, it revealed Loki, Gungnir in hand, standing there.
"Venī, vīdī, vīcī!"
Loki's battle desire surged without end. As the light faded, he prepared to locate Laufey's palace, then cut him down in front of all the Frost Giants.
Let them see how powerful the new King of Asgard was.
But before Loki could take a single step, he froze solid at what he saw.
Before him stood the very Frost Giant King Laufey he'd been dreaming of — his biological father. And around him was a dense crowd of Frost Giants and Frost Giants beasts stretching as far as the eye could see.
They watched Loki with alert eyes. Every Frost Giant beast opened its fangs, ready on a single command to tear this uninvited intruder apart.
This teleport point seemed off…
Seated on his throne, Laufey looked at Loki's sudden appearance with a hint of surprise, then quickly turned calm.
"The current King of Asgard, descending here — what brings you?"
Laufey said coolly, showing no displeasure at Loki's sudden intrusion.
Loki didn't speak. He just stared blankly at Laufey and the Frost Giants around him. Strangely — on their bodies he saw flickering flames of death.
A power at once deeply familiar and completely unfamiliar.
Familiar because it pulsed in his blood. Unfamiliar because he had never seen it before.
But the power that could make him feel such a bloodline kinship — setting aside the Frost Giant identity — the answer was self-evident.
The Goddess of Death — Hela!
