Peter Parker glanced at Loki and carefully asked...
"Um... Mr Stark, what did you mean by what you just said?"
His voice was very low, but in the live streaming room, Peter's words still spread with ease.
Loki stood still, but his heart was secretly sighing.
'Sure enough, you can't help yourself...'
"Haha ..."
In the face of Peter's question, Tony raised his voice and spoke without concern...
"It's very simple. The Loki on-screen is now the King of Asgard, with great power in his hands."
"But his position isn't stable."
"Just look at the warriors. Asgard still has a lot of people who refuse to obey him."
"In that case, as soon as Thor returns to Asgard, Loki's rule will probably collapse."
Hearing that, Natasha thoughtfully said...
"Even in the face of such a threat, Loki still didn't choose to kill Thor. To be honest, this really surprised me a little."
"Haha, this may be brotherhood."
In Tony's voice, there was also a touch of lament.
As an only child, Tony was sent to boarding school from childhood, and his parents died in a traffic accident later on. So, he grew up alone.
Because of that, seeing Thor and Loki get along in the video, Tony's heart actually had a bit of envy.
Feeling the eyes of the crowd gathered on him again, Loki hummed somewhat uncomfortably and spoke with an arrogant expression...
"Humph. Anyway, that guy has neither divine power nor the hammer; he should stay on Earth. Why would there be a need to kill him?"
Tony laughed at that...
"That's a lot of lip service."
"Even if Thor had no power, he's still Odin's first-born son. In the eyes of many, if they get hold of him, they can use him against you."
Hearing that, Loki's face darkened.
It wasn't until recently that he realised that he had no friends within Asgard.
On the contrary, in addition to the Warriors Three, Sif and others, Thor was very popular among the people of Asgard!
Far better than his unpleasant younger brother.
Thinking of that, there was a vague sense of despair growing in Loki's heart.
Deep down, he still regarded Asgard as his home and the place where he belonged.
But looking at the screen, even without Thor, people wouldn't easily accept him as King!
At this time, Thor shouted in the chat group.
[Thor: I don't quite understand it, but I get it, Loki. You still have me in your heart! Haha.]
[Loki Odinson: Shut up! Fool! Don't say such embarrassing things!]
[Thor: My dear brother, what's so embarrassing? Hahaha ...]
[Stephen Strange: I think ... you two don't seem to be related by blood, right? In that case, I think you might as well ...]
[Loki Odinson: Shut up! Shameless mortal, how dare you even try to think you understand the words of gods?!]
[Wanda Maximoff: What? What were you talking about?]
[Master Mordo: Well, it's something ... young girls shouldn't understand for now.]
[Stephen Strange: Master Mordo, I didn't think you would understand such things.]
[Master Mordo: Strange, do you think we, in Kamar Taj ... are barbarians living in the mountains?]
[The video continued]
[After leaving Thor, Loki used invisible magic and went to the place where the hammer was.]
[Looking at the hammer that was glued to the ground, Loki's eyes flashed. He reached for the handle of the hammer.]
[He pulled once, no response. Then, he tried a bit harder, still no response.]
[Like the previous Thor, Loki finally stretched out his hands with all his might. But the hammer seemed to take root on the ground and remained motionless.]
[After several attempts, Loki finally gave up. He adjusted his clothes and turned to leave the camp.]
[At this moment, the picture on-screen suddenly turned. It went from Earth to Jotunheim.]
[Loki was alone and arrived at Laufey's palace.]
[Seeing the small man in a green robe, Laufey coldly issued an order...]
["Kill him ~."]
[Loki wasn't afraid at all but instead asked...]
["After all I've done for you?"]
[Laufey listened thoughtfully and said...]
["So, you're the one who showed us the way into Asgard..."]
"What?"
Hearing that, Odin was horrified.
Before, he couldn't figure out how the three Frost Giants could fool everyone's eyes and invade Asgard's treasury.
Now, he finally understood.
'Loki, what exactly do you want?'
Odin's eyes suddenly turned sharp.
'Are you trying to ruin Thor's coronation? Or ...'
Meanwhile, in the live streaming room, Loki swallowed, and his heart was jumping uncontrollably.
The secret of his collusion with the Frost Giants was exposed.
But ... even after the penny dropped, the panic in Loki's heart increased, instead of decreasing.
He had a hunch about the self in the video, having come all the way to Jotunheim and had revealed the secret to Laufey as soon as it came up. 'It seems like it wasn't just a small scheme.'
But the most terrible thing was that Thor and Odin had seen his collusion with the Frost Giant!
'What could be worse than that?'
Just when Loki thought things couldn't get any worse, the video on-screen changed again.
[Loki spoke with a smile...]
["It was just a bit of fun, really... To ruin my brother's big day."]
["And to protect the realm from his idiotic rule for a while longer."]
[Thor: What?! You were the one who let those Frost Giants in!]
[Thor: Loki, even if you like mischief, this is too much!]
[Thor: Besides, how is my rule idiotic? I am the eldest son of Odin, the God of Thunder!]
[Stephen Strange: Ugh, with an older brother like you, I'm starting to feel sorry for Loki now.]
[Tony Stark: If I were in Loki's position, maybe I would let the Frost Giants in too.]
[Natasha Romanoff: Yeah, it would really be a disaster for the country if the God of Hammers was really allowed to be the King of Asgard.]
[Natasha Romanoff: Believe me, I have first-hand experience on how bad rulers can ruin a country.]
[Nick Fury: Natasha, keep quiet. We aren't going to interfere with the matters of the gods.]
Looking at Thor, who was yelling in the chat group, Loki's heart was pounding. He didn't have time to pay attention to it and stared at the screen in front of him without blinking.
[The video continued.]
[Laufey smiled, then looked at Loki and said, "I will hear you."]
[Loki slowly spoke with a cold face...]
["I will conceal you, and a handful of your soldiers, lead you into Odin's chambers, and you can slay him where he lies."]
[Laufey coldly asked...]
["Why not kill him yourself?"]
[Loki's face revealed his trademark evil smile...]
["I suspect ... that the Asgardians wouldn't take kindly to a King who had murdered his predecessor."]
["Once Odin is dead, I will return the Casket to you."]
[Hearing the Casket of Ancient Winters mentioned, Laufey suddenly stood up from the throne.]
[Loki's voice, like the devil's whisper, continued to echo in his ears...]
["And you can return Jotunheim to all its glory."]
["I ... Accept!"]
[Not only could he kill his old enemy, but he could also get the Frost Giants' ancient relic, that had been lost for nearly a thousand years.]
[Laufey agreed without thinking much about it.]
'Why?!'
In Asgard, Frigga exclaimed in disbelief.
Then, her legs felt weak, and she suddenly fell to the ground, covering her face crying uncontrollably.
As the wife of the King of the Nine Realms, Frigga definitely wasn't weak, and she was also the one who taught Loki magic.
But this scene in front of her... The shock was so great that she couldn't keep calm!
Loki, her son, tried to kill her husband!
"!!!"
Sitting on the throne, Odin's face instantly turned livid, and his fist unconsciously balled up.
'This... actually happened!'
Looking at the screen, where Loki and Laufey conspired with each other and discussed how to kill him, Odin only felt his heart tighten. Even the white beard on his chin couldn't help but slightly tremble.
'Could it be that after 1000 years of nurturing, it was still no match for the bloodline of the Frost Giants?'
'Or ... Is Asgard's throne really so tempting to Loki that he wouldn't hesitate to kill his father?'
Thinking of that, Odin suddenly felt very tired.
He had raised these sons for over 1000 years. One became an iron-headed fool who knew nothing but fighting.
And the other one, for the sake of power and status, wouldn't hesitate to kill his own father!
'Am I such a failure as a God-King and as a father?'
In the otherworldly live steaming room.
It was silent.
As if some kind of mute switch was turned on, there was pin-drop silence in the live room!
Everyone stared at Loki, their gazes containing shock, horror, disbelief, and many other emotions. It was as if this person had suddenly turned into a monster.
"Gulp..."
Loki involuntarily swallowed.
At this moment, he only felt cold. It was as if his body was buried in ice, and the cold sweat on his forehead couldn't stop.
'What should I do?'
The other universe's self, as if possessed by a ghost, actually went to collude with his biological father Laufey ... to assassinate Odin!
Whether this assassination was successful or not, the fact that it was exposed, for Loki, was basically equal to social death.
'What should I do when I get back to Asgard?'
'Or, should I go back?'
'After seeing that scene, next time Odin sees me, would he arrest me without a second thought?'
'Or, simply beat me to death?'
Loki's mind was in such a mess he almost cried out.
Thor shouted in the chat group again.
[Thor: Loki, you're crazy! How dare you do this to Father? He is your father.]
[Master Mordo: Well, this is indeed a tragedy. But I'll be honest, technically speaking, the big blue guy, Laufey, is Loki's father.]
[Thor: Get out of here, you shameless human! I didn't ask you!]
[Master Mordo: ...]
[Thor: Loki, I know, what's on that screen is another universe, but you have to tell me honestly that you have no similar thoughts, right?]
[Thor: If you want the throne, it doesn't matter, I'll give it to you. But you mustn't do anything to Father!]
[Loki Odinson: Thor, you bastard! Shut your mouth!]
Looking at Thor's unconcerned statement in the group, Loki only felt a 'buzz' in his head, as if he had been hit hard. At the same time, some kind of fury rose in his heart.
'Thor, this idiot, is he trying to kill me?'
'Originally, what happened on the screen happened in another universe, but you're talking as if I'm actually planning on killing Father!'
'If Father saw it, how could he ignore it?'
"What a great provocateur."
Natasha couldn't help but wonder...
"Thor is simply planting doubt for Loki. Maybe, his usual silly appearance is fake..."
Strange shook his head and softly chuckled...
"No, I can safely say that Thor is nothing more than a common fool."
"Hahaha..."
Tony laughed out loud, looked at Natasha and spoke with a contemptuous expression...
"That's what's wrong with you spies, too much suspicion. No matter what happens, you'd think it's a conspiracy."
"You ..."
Staring at the two men in front of her, looking indifferent and laughing at her, Natasha almost stomped her feet in anger.
And just as Loki was lost in despair, the screen suddenly paused.
Then, the voice of the system rang out.
[New Quiz start!]
[Question: Why did Loki ask Laufey to assassinate Odin?]
[A. Loki wants to kill Odin to secure his throne.]
[B. Loki wants Laufey to kill Odin first and then kill Laufey. Killing two birds with one stone.]
[C. Loki wants to kill Laufey when he invades Asgard so that he could be a hero that saved Odin and could launch a counterattack to take Jotunheim in a fair manner!]
[Please start answering! Each person in the live streaming room has only one chance to answer.]
[Those who answer correctly will receive broadcast points, as well as random rewards.]
[Random rewards may originate from countless alternate worlds.]
[Failure to answer the question will trigger an unknown penalty!]
"What ... what?"
From Thor to Loki to Odin, seeing these three options, almost everyone was blown away.
