Chapter 1082 Father and Son (XI)
"That was the most glorious era of Asgard..."
Loki's tone was full of pride, and as he slowly told the story, Mobius, who had read these stories countless times, could not help but immerse himself in them.
"Thousands of sails competed, and thousands of people bowed their heads. Wherever the guns pointed, it was justice. Asgard's fleet traveled to every corner of the universe. Everyone knew the reputation of the Father of the Gods. A civilization that originated on the planet's ocean finally rode the wind and waves in the sea of stars..."
"In that prosperous golden age, no god in Asgard was not proud of our strength. Similarly, no one realized that the root of the disaster had gradually emerged..."
"Hela was born in that era. She was the jewel in the crown and the pride of heaven protected by the giant wave fleet."
"Perhaps, you think that Thor is the most like Odin, but in fact, before Odin never mentioned Hela again, he told everyone that Hela would be the future queen of Asgard."
"This eldest princess inherited all the father of the gods. 's advantages, strong, powerful, with a natural war mind, able to intimidate the generals under her command and make them fight for her sincerely. "
"At that time, almost everyone felt that Hela represented a more prosperous and glorious future for Asgard."
"But when the princess really grew up, Odin realized that Asgard was about to face a doomed end."
"After endless destruction and conquest, there is the inevitable Ragnarok. Whether we stop or not, we will die, but Odin knows that he must try to stop this chariot."
"So, Hela's existence became a tragedy. She is a queen born for aggression and destruction, but Odin doesn't want her to drive a horse-drawn chariot and lead Asgard to hit Ragnarok head-on."
Loki lowered his head, pursed his lips, and finally revealed a trace of pain in his expression. He asked himself and answered: "Is this Odin's fault? Maybe it is. Is this Hela's fault? Maybe it is, but the most innocent one is Hela's mother Frigga."
"The war between father and daughter is inevitable. No matter who wins in the end, Frigga can only be heartbroken."
"This is a scar she will never forget. Her first child, her daughter full of expectations, can only be locked in a desolate country forever because of this doomed tragedy."
Mobius's eyebrows trembled, and he was obviously moved. Loki continued:
"Perhaps you will wonder why there are so few female Loki in such a vast universe?"
"This is actually because the father of the gods will never allow a prince who should have taken responsibility to escape his responsibility by becoming a goddess. Odin will be ashamed of this."
"But the reason why he allowed me to do this is because this is almost the only way to make up for Frigga's inner trauma." Loki once again looked at Mobius' face, looked at him intently, and said:
"Odin, Thor and I are trying our best to weave a beautiful dream for a heartbroken mother, a strong and responsible husband, a successful son who inherits the family business, a sensible, obedient, gentle and beautiful daughter... We give her everything she wants."
Loki's eyes became a little dull. Even if Mobius didn't ask, he said to himself: "But we all know that dreams will always be broken one day."
"Ragnarok is like a sharp blade hanging over our heads. Under such great pressure, the drama of fatherly love and filial piety can't be played for too long."
"I know that I must do something to turn the tide with Thor. Thor thinks so too. "But I have no status, I can't show my strengths, every second I delay, the pressure is greater." "And the reason why I have no status is that Asgard has never had a prince. All the gods who ascended the throne killed their fathers and brothers, and only by being alone can they have the most powerful rule." "And now, this tradition and rule has become our shackles." Loki closed his eyes in some pain, and said: "I can be Thor's minister, a loser, a dog for him to drive, but I can't be his brother, because we can't remind people why other gods don't have brothers." "I don't have time to play a sensible and obedient but inactive prince in front of Frigga." "I need power to save the entire Asgard with Thor, so that we can all survive, instead of letting Frigga die in her dream. "
Mobius stretched out his hands to cover his face, and said: "Because you know that I have nothing to do with the universe you are in, so you dare to tell me this, right?"
"I should have asked you to leave just now!" Mobius' tone revealed pain: "You successfully transferred your emotional pressure to me. Why does every royal family have so many shitty things?"
Loki smiled, as if he was mocking himself, and said: "Even if every royal family has such a plot, Asgard must be the most bloody one among them."
Mobius stretched out his hand and gestured in front of himself, as if he wanted to say something, but he felt that words could not express it well. He thought hard for a while, and then said:
"Actually, what you mean is that you hope to have more power so that you can show your strengths, help your brother survive Ragnarok, and save everyone."
"But if you really get more power, it will not only shake the prestige of the royal family, but also Thor's rule?"
Mobius took a deep breath and said, "What if you stand behind the scenes?"
"We are doing this now." Loki shook his head and said, "But it is still not enough. Asgard has too few people available, but there are too many problems to take into account. It is still ruled in a traditional way, and the efficiency is too low. .”
“The excessive degree of centralization makes Asgard invincible in wars. The God King is the only brain of Asgard. Wherever he points, the fleet will fire. No one will object, and no one dares to object…”
“But such a system is not suitable for Asgard during the peaceful rule. We need economy, culture, and diplomacy, not just firing. Even if we have to fire, it is only as a means of diplomatic deterrence. We need to learn to seize benefits in a civilized way.”
“On the one hand, reducing destruction can extend our probation time. On the other hand, the resources accumulated through internal development and external exchanges will become our capital to fight against Ragnarok.”
“The era of martial rule has passed, and the successor prepared for that era is People can no longer take into account many aspects of civil governance, but if they want to break tradition and promote talents, they will inevitably encounter great resistance..."
"And the biggest resistance is Odin."
After hearing this, Mobius looked around, stretched out a hand and said: "Wait a minute! ... Guards! Guards! Close the door! Make sure no one comes in!"
After that, he sat there and swallowed his saliva, looked at Loki and said: "I promise that I will not leave this room after saying this, don't look at me with the eyes of a dead person, I swear..."
After that, he grabbed his hair and said a little collapsed: "Why didn't I just leave? ! Why did I bring up this topic? ! ! "
"Damn it, I thought those Lokis were crazy enough! But they are the craziest , but he refused to plead guilty, and you actually want to... You are not serious, are you? ! "
Looking at his reaction, Loki suddenly showed a playful smile, and Mobius was stunned there. Then, he opened his eyes wide, slapped the table angrily, and said: "Damn it! You are playing tricks on me! ! "
"How about it, have you seen the power of the God of Fraud? Since I met that damn psychiatrist, I have learned from him that as long as I am more serious and crazier than you, you will feel afraid... The atmosphere is very important. "
Mobius gritted his teeth and stared at him. Soon, he reacted and looked at a device on his waist. He took off the machine, patted it with his hand, and said puzzledly: "What's the matter? Why didn't it ring? Could it be broken?"
"Is this your lie detector?" Loki smiled and took a puff of cigarette, saying: "If it is, then it is not broken, because what I said is true. "
"... Do you really want to kill Odin? "Mobius stared at him.
Loki shook his head and said, "What kind of idiot would want to kill Odin? Let's not talk about the importance of such a great king to Asgard, how can I kill Odin?"
"Uh..." Mobius was choked. He was about to say that if he could be promoted to above the universe, then maybe it would be possible, but he remembered what Loki told him, that she only had status but no power.
"In fact, I don't know what Odin thinks." Loki put his hand on the armrest and said, "But I am pessimistic about this."
"If Thor gave me power and status, it would be like saying that Odin was a cruel and ruthless person who didn't love his father and brothers. If he was dead, it would be nothing, but he is still alive now."
"Odin is a person who never admits his mistakes. "Loki shook her head, her black hair covered half of her cheeks again, making her look very decadent.
"Frigga avoided Thor and wanted us to talk. I don't know, my soft-hearted and affectionate mother, is she hoping that her stubborn and cold husband will shake his attitude, or is she hoping that after he refuses, he can say something to comfort me?"
"You...you really don't plan to talk to him?" Mobius's facial features wrinkled together again, obviously thinking that this matter is really difficult to solve. He said: "Or, test his attitude...what if?"
"Anyone can talk to him about this, but I can't." Loki shook her head and said:
"My biological father is his enemy. He can pick me up and raise me to this age. Can I still say to him, 'What you gave me is not enough', 'You don't love me if you don't let me share the power of your biological son'?'"
"I would rather contradict him, make him furious, and then scold me. ”
Loki turned her head to one side, but Mobius slowly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I always thought that Frigga was your biggest weakness, but I didn't expect..."
Loki took a deep breath and said in an unbelievable tone:
"The method taught by the psychiatrist is correct."
"Just now, I contradicted him in front of his wife, but he did nothing except scolding me a few times."
"This is why I would rather run away and go to jail than ask him for anything."
