Chapter 198 Loki: I'm starting to miss my dad! (Updated today)
Endless thick clouds gathered.
The sky above New York was swirling in a vortex, with pale blue lightning roaring and lightning striking down like the inverted branches of the World Tree.
The thunder, lightning and storms seemed to be celebrating the birth of the new god.
And in the center of the thunder and lightning was Loki holding Thor in his arms.
At this moment, the silver Thor's armor was fitting tightly onto his body. It seemed as if the armor was specially made for him and it fit him so perfectly.
The hammer of Thor, which he had been unable to shake in the past, now seemed as light as a feather in his hand.
Feeling a powerful force he had never experienced before, infinite divine power boiled in his body, and lightning flowed in his blood vessels - at this moment, he was the God of Thunder!
This is what Rocky has always dreamed of.
But at this moment it couldn't bring him any joy.
Because the cost of lifting the hammer was too heavy, so heavy that he could not accept it.
"No matter what changes you make, it won't help."
Ebony Maw looked at Loki, and after being briefly shocked by Loki becoming the God of Thunder, he quickly regained his composure.
"Be careful, Ebonymaw."
The superstar reminded.
But Ebony Maw didn't take it seriously.
Holding the gem in his hand is equivalent to grasping the truth of the world, and there is nothing worth his fear.
Even at this moment, Ebony Maw already had a thought of resisting Thanos deep in his heart, but considering the superstars who also had gems, he still hid this idea deep in his heart.
He was like this to Thanos, and he was even more contemptuous of Loki.
A few minutes ago, Loki was still a stinky rat that allowed him to manipulate him. What would it matter even if he picked up a hammer?
"Why are you angry, Loki?" Ebony Maw sneered.
Loki ignored Ebony Maw.
He was now as silent as a thundercloud collapsing in the sky.
Everyone could see that a terrible storm was about to sweep the city, but he kept silent. The depressing atmosphere made it difficult to breathe.
Then, Loki gently put Thor down, brushed his palm across Thor's cheek, and the cold current instantly froze Thor's body.
After doing all this, Loki stood up and glared at Ebony Maw.
Ebony Maw continued, "Asgard, who calls himself a god, is nothing more than a pathetic creature who thinks highly of himself."
"Even the son of Odin would die in such a humiliating way—"
boom! ! !
In an instant, a strong wind blew up!
The red cloak behind Loki rose high into the sky against the wind, like the divine fire he had ignited.
It is his unquenchable anger!
"Shut up!"
He clenched his five fingers holding the hammer, and lightning flashed in his eyes as he looked at Ebony Maw!
Swish! !
The electric eyes are compelling!
Lightning flashed, and Ebony Maw was also startled by Loki's sudden attack.
But he reacted quickly, and with a wave of his arm, the white ice and snow rising from the ground instantly formed a wall in front of him.
boom! !
The lightning shattered the ice before Ebonymaw could even breathe a sigh of relief.
Then, a shadow faster than lightning came towards them!
Wrapped in angry thunder, Mjolnir was like a ray of silver divine light piercing the darkness. Carrying Loki's infinite anger, it instantly hit Ebony Maw's chest.
In an instant, Ebony Maw felt as if he was hit by a star core.
The heavy force almost crushed his fragile body.
In fact, if he had not activated the power of the Space Stone in time to create a barrier on his body to isolate Thor's hammer.
This blow was enough to turn his body into powder in the thunder!
But even so, Ebony Maw was directly knocked away by Loki's move, crashing into several blocks of buildings and being buried under the rubble.
Ebony Maw felt as if all the bones in his body were broken.
And now he couldn't move, because Thor's hammer was pressing down on him like the Buddha's mantra on the Five Finger Mountain.
He was about to use the power of the Rubik's Cube to send the hammer away, but at this time, the angry Loki had already descended from the sky with lightning.
Boom! ! !
Loki stepped on Ebony Maw's arm, interrupting his spell.
Then he bent down, and his fists tinged with lightning hit Ebony Maw like a pile driver.
"How dare you kill Thor!"
"How dare you kill my brother!"
Loki seemed to have gone completely crazy and attacked Ebony Maw with all his might.
It would be more accurate to say that he was venting his anger rather than fighting.
Angry at Ebony Maw's actions, but also angry at his own weakness.
Every punch he landed was accompanied by a terrible thunder.
Under the attack of the angry Loki, Ebony Maw had no ability to fight back for a while, but the light and energy of the gem protected him and prevented him from dying tragically.
But he is still outputting.
"Under the Void Throne of the great Thanos, you said with your own mouth that you wanted to kill your brother. I helped you, you should thank me."
"Shut up!"
Loki punched Ebony Maw into the foundation.
"Are you worthy of the name of Thor?!"
Ebony Maw:? ? ?
I didn't mention it!
But no matter what, Loki's anger at this moment can no longer be stopped.
Even the energy shield formed by Ebony Maw using the energy of the Rubik's Cube began to crack under his fierce attack.
The lightning was like a ferocious poisonous snake. It opened its bloody mouth, tore Ebony Maw's protective shield into pieces, and then bit his flesh and blood.
"what--"
Ebony Maw suddenly felt extreme pain, and his sinister eyes became dangerous and malicious.
Ebony Maw didn't understand why so much time had passed and neither the supergiant nor the black dwarf had come to support him.
But what he didn't know was that the two of them had also encountered the enemy.
After smashing the War Lord's head with a punch, Hulk rushed into the ice and snow storm and came to the supergiant and the black dwarf.
This disrupted the rhythm of the superstar who originally wanted to support Ebony Maw because of the appearance of Hulk.
Unlike Proxima Midnight, another female member of the Black Ops, Supergiant lacks the strength to fight head-on. Faced with an enemy like the Hulk, she was caught off guard and suffered a loss in the first encounter.
Black Dwarf, who originally wanted to support and help her, was easily dealt with by Hulk.
Black dwarf, so weak!
Ebony Maw was not aware of these things and had no time to care about them at the moment.
Killing Loki is his top priority now.
He struggled to push his arm towards Loki's chest, and a powerful burst of telekinesis instantly knocked Loki away.
Then, he immediately activated the power of the gem, and the dark blue energy opened a space tunnel behind him, and then freed Ebony Maw from the seal of Mjolnir.
The hammer was left lying powerlessly on the ground.
Loki, who was knocked flying, stood firm in the air. The lightning snakes that burst out from his body instantly devoured several Chitauri soldiers who happened to be nearby.
But he didn't care at all.
He just wants to avenge Thor!
Soon, he found Ebonymaw in the streets covered with thick ice and snow.
The ugly wizard had a hideous face, like a charred corpse that had crawled out of the flames of hell. He looked at Loki with resentment and hatred.
Obviously, both of them wanted the other to die!
Loki said nothing. He clenched his fists and dived towards Ebony Maw like diving.
Infinite divine power burst out from his body, and the passing strong wind made the bright red cloak flutter!
He's like Superman!
Facing Loki's attack, Ebony Maw, who had slowly recovered, was no longer tired of dealing with it.
His eyes darkened slightly and he raised his hand towards the void.
Then, his god-like power instantly appeared before Loki's eyes.
boom! ! !
At this moment, the whole of New York was shaking violently as if an earthquake had occurred, and the energy of the Cosmic Cube completely enveloped the city like ripples.
Then, Loki saw the street where Ebony Maw was, instantly falling towards the abyss underground.
or……
All the buildings in the entire block rose from the ground in an instant under the power of Ebony Maw!
It was as if a number of divine spears pierced the sky!
At this moment, the entire city seemed to have become a plaything in Ebony Maw's hands, at his mercy.
Ebonymaw was very satisfied with this.
"See, Loki? This is the power of God!"
"You should surrender to me!"
He roared loudly, and as the passionate voice rang out, all the buildings, along with their foundations, that were pulled up by the power of Ebony Maw, suddenly rushed towards Loki in the sky like a series of speeding trains!
In Avengers 3, Thanos used the Power Stone to control gravity, pulled in a satellite, and smashed it heavily towards Tony.
And now, Ebony Maw is doing much the same.
This battle attracted everyone's attention.
To be honest, no one, whether it was the heroes or those hiding in the shelter, could ignore the scene that Ebony Maw created at this moment.
The buildings were floating in the air like building blocks discarded in space, and anyone who saw them would think they were dreaming.
Tony cursed: "If enemies like this come again, Stark Group will go bankrupt!"
You know, as the big boss among the Avengers, Tony has been responsible for paying the Avengers' salaries, as well as cleaning up after all the damages and compensations.
But Ebony Maw destroyed several city blocks with just one move, and maybe in a while, he would be able to make all the buildings fall to the ground like toothpicks.
"No, I have to ask Primus to pay some money too!"
Tony was so angry that his teeth were itching.
He doesn't care about money, he just doesn't want to pay for it alone.
"How much can it cost?" T'Challa thought it was no big deal. "Wakanda will pay for it!"
In terms of personal assets alone, T'Challa has about five times more than Tony. If Wakanda's vibranium is included, his wealth must be more than trillions.
This little bit of money is just a drop in the bucket.
The perspective returns to Loki.
The building that was crashing towards him like a deformed train instantly blocked Loki's vision. He wanted to dodge, but the building was crashing towards him too fast.
He didn't even have time to react before he was hit directly.
Boom boom boom! ! !
One building is followed by another.
In an instant, a spherical object composed of countless buildings appeared in the sky above New York City.
Like a giant sea urchin, the buildings of different heights acted like nails, trapping Loki from different directions.
All I can say is that we Marvel people have our own Chibaku Tensei.
Ebony Maw couldn't help but be amazed at such powerful strength.
"This is the power that a god should have!"
He said excitedly.
With these Infinity Stones, who can be his opponent?
Even Thanos can’t do that!
he thinks.
He is indeed loyal to Thanos, and keeps killing in pursuit of his destiny.
But with the Infinity Stones, why not become Destiny yourself?
Ebonymaw, an old rebel.
It’s a pity that this time, his ambition will be buried forever.
Because at this moment Loki has triggered Thor's passive ability——
Miss dad!
In the huge sphere suspended in the sky, under the blockade and compression of the power of the Space Stone, Loki could not move at all, let alone break free.
He could feel that the buildings were constantly compressed inwards under the influence of the Rubik's Cube, squeezing his body as if they wanted to crush him completely.
If this continues, not to mention his body, even the space at this moment may collapse completely, and then form a terrible black hole, swallowing up the earth!
Loki was in great pain.
The armor on his body began to break.
But what tormented him more than the physical torture was the self-blame in his heart.
I am so useless.
Thor died at the hands of Ebony Maw in order to save him, but what about him?
He picked up Thor's hammer, but brought disgrace upon the name of Thor.
He was no match for Ebony Maw who was holding the gem, and Thor's sacrifice became a joke.
Loki was thinking, if the person who died just now was not Thor but himself, and the person who raised the hammer now was not himself but Thor, the other party would definitely be able to do better than him!
Because Thor is always invincible.
Loki thought.
But it's too late to say anything now.
Both Thor and himself have reached the end.
Loki felt his soul slowly losing consciousness, and as darkness spread before his eyes, a light lit up in the distance ahead.
He felt the call of Valhalla.
In that light, Odin, wearing armor, rode an eight-legged Pegasus, holding the Spear of Eternity, and stepped on the light of the rainbow.
For the first time since his exile, Loki basked in the light of the Rainbow Bridge.
Looking at the tall and majestic man in front of him, Loki felt extremely complicated.
He was angry at Odin for hiding the truth and giving him unnecessary expectations, and he was ashamed of what he had done, not to mention that now he was stealing everything from his brother...
What would he do?
Will he take off his armor just like he took away Thor's divine power?
Loki didn't know that he was feeling very uneasy.
Until this old man, who looked like he was dying, walked up to him and looked at him with his one eye.
Loki felt as if his soul was being roasted on fire and was in agony.
He exhaled heavily and was about to say something when he was interrupted by Odin.
Odin opened his arms and embraced Loki.
"Loki!"
"my son……"
"I'm proud of you!"
At this moment, all of Loki's defenses and resentment seemed to collapse completely, like a sculpture in the desert, blown away by a gust of wind.
He kept shaking his head, trying to break free from Odin's arms.
"But I am not your son..."
But he was not blaming Odin, but blaming the unfairness of fate.
He was telling himself that all of this was never what he deserved. He didn't deserve Thor's hammer, didn't deserve to be the prince of Asgard, and even less deserved to be Odin's son.
In response to Loki's self-denial, Odin kindly wiped away his tears.
"Don't let your mother hear this, or she will be so sad that she won't be able to eat."
Suddenly, Loki burst into tears.
Odin lowered his head and said sadly: "I'm sorry, my son... I always put my eyes on Thor and ignored you..."
The father whispered an apology to his child.
If Hela saw this scene, she would definitely think that the Odin in front of her must be fake, someone else impersonating him.
My grumpy old father couldn't have been so loving.
Loki kept shaking his head. At this moment, all his past complaints were no longer important.
"Let's go home, Dad."
But Odin rejected him.
"You'll be coming home kid, but not now."
He waved his hand, and Ebony Maw's face appeared in the dark space.
Only then did Loki remember that he still had an enemy to deal with.
But soon, he became frustrated again, shaking his head and saying, "I lost, Dad. I am no match for him."
"That's because you haven't truly accepted your power."
Odin said.
"You are a child of both Asgard and Jotunheim. There is nothing to be ashamed of having the blood of the Frost Giants flowing in your body, my son."
"You can become the common king of Asgard and Jotunheim."
"I...become the king of Asgard?"
"I?"
Loki was so surprised that he didn't know what to do.
"But I can't. I'm not qualified... No one will recognize me..."
"Of course you do," Odin interrupted, speaking seriously.
"You've proven you're worthy!"
"Because I lifted Thor's hammer?"
Odin shook his head and pointed his finger at Loki's heart: "No, because you are ready to become a king."
"Like the Midgardian said, what matters is what kind of person you decide to be, not the hammer's choice. You don't have to worry about it. He is not a Sakaar, but he can become the son of Sakaar. So can you."
"You all know..."
Odin stroked Loki's head lovingly and said, "I have only one eye, but I can certainly see what has happened to my child."
"But there will definitely be more dangerous enemies waiting for you on the road ahead, and you can only carry them on your own."
Odin's gaze looked into the depths of the darkness, and he seemed to see very far away.
The past, the future, and the present moment.
"Okay, kid, wake up, defeat the enemy, and then go back to Asgard with Thor. As long as you are there, Thor will not die."
"Then I will crown you with my own hands."
Thanks to Daerb for the 500-point reward.
There is only one update today. Let me take a break. I have been too tired recently. It took me a whole day to write these. It seems that my brain needs a rest.
Tomorrow we will resume normal three updates
