Chapter 198 The Death of Old Loki
After the Shiba Inu Thor's body was absorbed by Little Groot, it turned into starlight and disappeared.
Only a collar with a recording was left.
Old Loki said that this was a way for the Asgardians to give back to the universe.
They came from the universe, and after death and the disappearance of their power, they would return to the universe.
At Little Groot's insistence, they dug a small pit in the shelter and buried the collar in it.
Groot personally drew a dog head on the tombstone.
And Little Groot, his potential is already extremely strong. If their race evolves to the end, they can eventually become a magical existence like the World Tree.
But the probability of this is extremely low. I don't know how far the little guy who absorbed Thor's power can grow in the end.
Qin Xiao is very much looking forward to this, but seeing that the little guy's body size has not changed at all, his origin should be much stronger than before, in other words, the upper limit in the future will also be higher.
One absorbed the power of Thor, one had the origin of the God of Fire from Asgard, and Loki was the blood of the Frost Giants, but his position and magical power also came from Asgard.
With this relationship, the three of them inexplicably became closer and more trusting.
Unfortunately, the old Loki's body was exhausted.
He couldn't hold on for less than ten days.
Before he died, the old Loki held Qin Xiao and Groot's hands and said.
"I'm lucky. I've been either escaping or destroying my whole life. Finally, I mustered up the courage to resist. Then, before I died, I was able to meet you. I felt like I was at home. This is great!"
"So this is what I've always wanted. I've been wanting it since I was very young!"
"I don't know if the two Lokis succeeded, but you two can't live here for the rest of your lives. Find a way to get out and go to the red cloud to see what's inside. Which damn bastard is hiding in there?"
"Father, mother? Thor... I really want to go back to Asgard and take a look. I really want to see you again..."
This time, the tombstone was written by Qin Xiao. He wrote Loki's name on it. After thinking about it, he added an 'old' at the end.
"Don't worry, Loki. If I meet you when you were young, I will beat him up, even if we may not be in the same universe."
Qin Xiao said in front of the tombstone.
"Me... too!"
The little guy standing next to him also spoke softly.
"Groot? When did you learn to speak other words?"
Qin Xiao was quite surprised. The little guy had never had any clues before, so how could he suddenly speak now?
"I am, I don't know, I learned it after absorbing it, but... I'm just not used to it."
Groot spoke a little slowly, and some words might need to be repeated in his mind now, but no matter what, he can finally communicate normally.
God knows how difficult Groot language is. It's too difficult to always say "I am Groot" to express thousands of meanings.
At least after old Loki taught Qin Xiao for a few days, Qin Xiao could only guess what the little guy meant based on his expression and demeanor.
After absorbing that Shiba Inu Thor?
Qin Xiao didn't understand it. Judging from the function of the collar, this Shiba Inu Thor should not be able to speak.
But why did Groot, who had pronunciation problems, speak normally after being absorbed? What is this? Does negative equal positive?
No longer entangled in this problem that he could never figure out, Qin Xiao said to the little guy.
"Groot, I have a way to leave here in a few days, but I may not be able to take you with me. The old man said that he hopes you can also leave here and have your own life. Then there is only one way, go to that red cloud and see what is there?"
"Do you want to leave here? I can help you. We can go to that cloud and take a look."
Little Groot looked at Qin Xiao reluctantly, then looked back at the old Loki's grave and nodded firmly.
...
The void, the wilderness, the coordinates are unknown...
Qin Xiao stood on a small hillside. This side is normal, the void has a gray sky all year round.
And in the distance facing Qin Xiao, a cloud with red light filled the entire sky, and it slowly moved towards this side in an extremely spectacular way.
At the edge of the cloud, Elrios transformed into a ferocious monster head, symbolizing his original ability to devour everything.
As Elrios got closer and closer, the transformed head actually roared like thunder at Qin Xiao.
It seemed that Qin Xiao's behavior of standing alone on the hillside and ignoring it angered it, and it roared at Qin Xiao.
How could Qin Xiao ignore it? It was necessary to stand in a pretentious manner. In fact, Qin Xiao had no confidence in whether he could deal with this cloud that could devour everything.
This was seen from the fact that he chose to come alone when he first came into contact with it, without bringing little Groot.
The only thing that gave him confidence was old Loki's experience with Elrios. According to him, Elrios could not directly devour all the energy in your body.
He relied on his magic to conjure Asgard to tangle with Elrios for a while, helping the pair of mandarin ducks Loki to win a lot of time.
It was this statement that gave Qin Xiao the courage to find out. Anyway, his speed was far faster than Elios, so he could just turn around and run away if he couldn't.
As he spoke, the clouds had already pressed down more than ten meters in front of Qin Xiao. The surging clouds, shining with red light, transformed into a huge skull.
He bit Qin Xiao hard.
Qin Xiao was already prepared to enter the clouds to find out, but this time it was more like a charged attack. Qin Xiao subconsciously raised his hand and spurted a burst of flame towards Elios.
Qin Xiao regretted it as soon as he made the move. Wasn't he giving energy to others in vain? He could just let it devour him and give it a try.
Regret is regret, since the attack has already been sent out anyway, he does not lack this energy.
Next, hold back and let Yun Duo come over and take a look.
Who knew that when the flames came into contact with the clouds, the result would be a big surprise for Qin Xiao.
When the flame comes into contact with the red cloud, it's like it's coming into contact with fuel, as if you were holding a lighter and burning the corner of a large ball of cotton.
The flames quickly spread towards the back. Qin Xiao was stunned and not only burned the skull just now, but also spread directly to a length of at least dozens of meters.
And the flames showed no sign of stopping and spread crazily towards the rear.
The thunderous sound in Elios's body disappeared, replaced by a dull and strange sound, which felt like an adult man whimpering under a quilt.
"Damn it! You don't have to know that my flames are so powerful?"
Qin Xiao looked down at his hands and murmured.
