Chapter 299 Dark Elves Awaken
Wattheim.
A country of infinite darkness.
This is the dimension where the dark elves live, but it has long been a ruined scene. Under the cover of darkness, only ruins remain of the outlines of the temples, as if they were forgotten corners after the eternal night of time.
This place is indeed forgotten.
For thousands of years, no one has set foot on this desolate land. Deathly silence shrouds the eternal night of this planet. The wailing wind sweeps across the wilderness and wanders through the ruins.
But today, this world without nothing seems to have suddenly become lively.
The former owner has returned and has welcomed several visitors.
Inside the ruins temple, a huge sarcophagus opened by itself. Inside the sarcophagus, a man wearing black armor and with pale and sharp cheeks opened his bright red eyes.
He is Malekith, the king of the dark elves who ruled the dark world thousands of years ago.
Malekith was not very tall. He walked out of the erected sarcophagus and looked lonely at the empty temple. Then he raised his head with a hateful and cold expression: "You can't stop me, Bor."
"When I take back everything that belongs to me, the Nine Realms will be shrouded in darkness again. When that happens, I will make the entire God's Realm pay the price for what you have done!"
Thousands of years ago, Malekith created the Aether particles in order to rule the Nine Realms.
In other words, he got the Reality Stone from somewhere and successfully found a way to use it, transforming the powerful stone into the form of ether.
The power of the gem, which would destroy the planet even if it came into contact with it, became a power that anyone could use thanks to his ability.
As long as you get close to ether, it will attach itself to the body of a living being like blood, giving the carrier of ether the powerful power to change reality.
With this power, plus the moment when the nine kingdoms converge, Malekith has the ability to plunge all dimensions into darkness and defeat any enemy, becoming the true lord of the nine realms!
However, before his plan could be implemented, the ether particles were taken away by the rainbow ball.
The king of the gods at that time was Odin's father, Bor Brisen.
He stole Malekith's Aether particles and launched a war against the world of dark elves. Without the Aether particles, Malekith was no match for the powerful God's Realm. After the defeat, he and a large number of dark elves were sealed by Bor and have been sleeping ever since.
“But everything has changed!”
Malekith clenched his fists in hatred. There was no doubt that the power of the seal had weakened. Even Bor's divine power could not be eternal. From the last time the nine realms were connected until this moment, Malekith had waited too long, so long that even the World Tree had been reincarnated. Soon, the nine realms would be united again, and his chance would be fleeting.
but……
"It seems to be a little earlier than I thought."
Malekith was a little strange.
Although he had anticipated this day, some mistakes still occurred. The sealed divine power was not simply exhausted by time, but there were deeper reasons that made Bor's remaining power no longer pure.
Although a little surprised, Malekith did not think too much about it. Thousands of years were enough to change a lot of things. What's more, the sooner he woke up, the more preparations he could make.
The first thing he had to do was to awaken his former people and give birth to a new race of dark elves.
Malekith began to try to connect his power with the World Tree.
At this moment, this "dead" dimension seemed to have regained life, and those dusty dark elves began to wake up.
If you look at it from a macro perspective, you can notice that on the branch of the World Tree, the dead branch that originally belonged to Watheim began to absorb vitality from the World Tree again. Infinite power poured into it, irrigating Watheim.
But soon, he realized something was wrong, and the power that was trying to connect with the World Tree suddenly ceased.
Malekith suddenly opened his eyes, with an expression of astonishment and surprise on his face.
"The energy of the World Tree has changed?"
How could this be?
He was stunned.
Malekith had anticipated that the world would be very different in five thousand years. He thought that Bor was most likely dead, and even Bor's son might be dying. But he never dreamed that the power contained in the World Tree would actually change?
what is the problem?
Who has such great power that can shake the foundation of the World Tree?
Did someone defeat the God-King of Asgard?
Malekith could never have imagined that it was the God-King of Asgard who took the initiative to transplant the soil of the World Tree to Regidomon and poured the vitality of heavenly energy into the three springs.
But Malekith could sense that this was not a bad thing.
He became excited. The Heavenly Energy was insignificant in the vast energy of the World Tree, and it did not change the trajectory of the World Tree's operation, but it brought new vitality to the World Tree like an organic fertilizer.
This is a good thing!
Malekith realized that as long as his plan succeeded, he would be able to occupy the more powerful World Tree and obtain the tenth world outside the nine worlds - the Celestial Energy World!
"No, it should be the eleventh realm."
He shook his head.
As an ancient being, Malekith knew that the original Nine Realms had ten dimensions, but later the tenth realm was pulled into nothingness.
Now, the new tenth realm has emerged, bringing with it the new and vigorous power that makes him salivate.
Malekith was not wary of this power.
The fusion of the heavenly energy and the power of the world tree is not a bad thing for him. He doesn't have to worry about anything even if he fuses the heavenly energy with his own power.
If you are really worried, the World Tree itself was planted by Odin and his other two brothers.
He didn't have to worry about where this power came from, even if it came from some dimensional demon.
Malekith was well aware of the lending methods of the dimensional demons. Once the power was loaned out, it was not up to them to take it back. Only when the person who possessed the power died would the energy return on its own.
This is also why it is almost impossible for a demon to lend his power to the Asgardians.
Everyone knows that once Odin dies, it will definitely be a huge profit, but the problem is that when you lend your power to Odin, it is not certain who will die in the end.
They will ride on horses and hold the gun you gave them to kill you, the creditor, first. Not only will they not have to repay the loan, but they can also take all your energy for themselves.
In fact, this is pretty much the current situation of Ancient One.
The bald woman just took advantage of all the messy dimensional demons she got hold of. Originally, those dimensional demons were very happy, thinking that they had snatched away Vishanti's believers, and they would get rich after the woman died.
Unexpectedly, after Gu Yi borrowed more and more, his own capital was more than what the banks lent him.
Now, they wanted to go and collect the debt, but they were beaten back by Gu Yi.
Malekith doesn't know Ancient One, but he knows that as long as his plan succeeds, the World Tree will be his, and this new dimension will also be his!
Still be careful though.
After all, in five thousand years, even the World Tree had problems, and no one knew what had happened to Asgard.
At this moment, there was a noise outside the temple. The awakened dark elves gathered and knelt down to pay their respects to their king.
And...two outsiders.
"Lord Malekith, we have brought two unexpected guests."
Several dark wizards knelt before Malekith, waiting for his order.
"Outsiders?"
Malekith was stunned. He couldn't imagine that there were outsiders in Watheim, which was almost forgotten by the world. However, he was not very worried. As the king of Watheim, although he was not like Hela, who was immortal as long as she was in her own dimension, his strength would be greatly enhanced.
Here, he is not afraid of anyone. Even Bor, who is holding a divine weapon, can only seal him instead of killing him.
This is also the reason why Malekith wants to bring all the worlds into darkness. When the dark world covers the nine kingdoms, his power will be invincible!
"Bring it up!"
He waved his hand, and after a while, several dark wizards came over with two people.
Malekith originally thought that the two men were in the same group, but it turned out that they were not. Both sides looked at each other warily, as if they were both wondering why someone other than themselves would come to see Malekith.
And one of those two people was Loki.
After learning about the Dark Elves from Bant, Loki returned to Asgard and discussed the matter of the Dark Elves with Odin.
The father and son formed a united front and decided to train Thor together. Odin wanted to train his son, while Loki simply wanted to watch his brother suffer and then stab him a few times to get a feel for it.
However, to arrange Thor properly, he could not ignore another main actor - the dark elf.
Loki did not understand them, so he asked Odin.
However, Odin actually didn't know much about Malekith. Although he was born when Bor defeated Malekith, he focused more of his energy on fighting the fire demon Surtur and the giants. At that time, he was not even older than Thor and had a more irritable personality.
So, Loki decided to come to Malekith himself to obtain information.
As for being a traitor, he is very familiar with it.
But what I didn't expect was that there was another group of people who also had their eyes on Malekith.
As he walked, he was looking at the guy who was almost parallel to him. He had a shark-like fin on his head, sunken cheeks, and a wide robe on his body. He looked a bit like a native of Watheim.
Sai Feng recognized Loki at the first sight.
He has never seen Loki, but Thanos has information about Loki.
Vilgax naturally knew everything about how Thanos destroyed the Earth and what happened at the hands of the Celestial Beings.
"This person is from the Tiangong Association."
After Saifeng recognized Loki, he decided not to reveal any information about Vilgax.
Now, he needs to think about how to start his speech.
The two people were thinking about their own things, and in the blink of an eye they were brought in front of Malekith. Malekith didn't bother to care about the relationship between them and asked coldly.
"Who are you two?"
He gave one of his men a look, and then a tall, ferocious humanoid monster walked out.
At first glance, the monster looked a bit like Black Dwarf, but it gave off a much stronger sense of oppression than Black Dwarf. Its strong body seemed indestructible, and the curved horns on its head looked like a demon from hell.
This is the Cursed Warrior, also known as Kurse.
He is the most powerful warrior in Watheim, and even has several times the strength of Thor.
Just standing there, the oppressive feeling of the cursed warriors was enough to suffocate.
Loki had no doubt that if his answer did not satisfy the other party, this guy would rush up and twist his neck like a twist.
However, the more times like this happened, the braver Loki behaved.
To be honest, he quite enjoyed the feeling of dancing on the edge of a knife.
It would be a sense of accomplishment to deceive such a powerful guy. Otherwise, he might as well go to Earth and perform acrobatics in front of the mortals.
He took a step forward and bowed slightly to Malekith like a gentleman.
"Let me introduce myself--" he said.
"My name is Loki Odinson, the son of Odin, the current king of Asgard."
Before he could finish his words, he felt a dark energy rushing towards him like a gust of wind. Malekith's face instantly turned gloomy, and the momentum of the cursed warrior instantly crushed towards him, as if to tear him to pieces!
It can be said that the cursed warrior did not kill him immediately because Malekith was almost amused by Loki's identity.
Son of Odin?
Isn't he the prince of Asgard?
Malekith was so angry that he looked at Loki with a strange look.
Is this person a fool?
How could a prince from an enemy country run to another country to die?
Precisely because Loki's behavior was too outrageous, he did not take action immediately. Instead, he walked down a few steps from the ruined throne, came in front of Loki, leaned over and grabbed Loki's throat.
Loki did not resist.
"Son of Odin, what brings you here to die?" he asked coldly.
Loki was not flustered. Instead, he raised his head and smiled, his dark green hair swaying. "I have come to pledge my loyalty to you, to destroy Asgard, and to kill Odin."
Malekith didn't expect to hear such an answer. He was stunned for a moment, but soon sneered again.
"You're lying to me!"
"You are Odin's son, how could you possibly submit to me?"
"You don't know this," Loki slowly raised his arm, and then an ice-blue box appeared in his hand.
"Ice Box!"
Malekith recognized what it was at a glance, and even more so recognized Loki's blue-green skin that was beginning to change.
"You're not an Asgardian, you're a frost giant!"
