Chapter 1859: The Madman's Journey (Thirty-Seven)

Loki was not locked up in a room alone. There was a lifting device in the hall. Stark had just raised the cage, so he was like an animal in a zoo, being watched by everyone in the hall.

The railings of the energy cage used the energy circuit in the devouring engine, and the strength was very high. Loki kept hammering the railings, but the railings did not move.

Although he found that the Thor in front of him was different from the one he knew, he just thought that Thor might have changed after going to the earth, so he still bit the bullet and shouted: "Damn Thor! You dare to set a trap for me, you will never get the recognition of the father of the gods, you will never..."

With a "swish", the energy railing disappeared.

Loki looked at the only barrier between him and Thor disappeared in disbelief, and then he found that the cage railings protected himself.

The pressure of facing Thor directly was extremely great, even more than when Loki faced Odin alone. Thor just stared at him coldly, and Loki's vicious words were all stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a word.

"You...you..." Loki seemed a little confused, even a little terrified, and he reacted after a few seconds.

Not long ago, he learned the secret of his life from Odin. He questioned the father of the gods with anger and grievance, and now this emotion has not dissipated.

Feeling Thor's cold attitude, Loki couldn't help but get even more angry. Could it be that they didn't even pretend? Could it be that they couldn't wait to kill him, just like they killed Laufey?

"Thor, no matter what tricks you play, I will let you know how powerful I am!" Loki said sternly. His instinct of self-preservation was fully aroused. He tried to use a more aggressive attitude to make the other party retreat. "You should be ashamed of what you did. You made a scene in Jotunheim and brought shame to Asgard. The father of the gods will not forgive you!!!"

"I know why I made a scene in Jotunheim, and you should know better than me, Loki." Thor just said calmly: "Another little prank of yours, don't do it again."

"Why do you order me?!"

"Swoosh-bang!"

A spear appeared behind Loki, accompanied by a sharp sound of breaking through the air. The spear drew a graceful arc in the air, like a golf swing, and knocked Loki to the ground from behind with a "bang".

Loki was stunned. He instinctively wanted to get up. The next second, the spear was across his neck, pressing him to the ground, making Loki's profile tightly against the cold floor.

Tears flashed in Loki's eyes. He had never been treated so brutally by Thor. The biggest conflict between them was just a quarrel in front of the three warriors of Asgard. Even if Loki disrupted Thor's battle plan, Thor would never reprimand him in front of the soldiers.

But now in front of so many strangers, Thor didn't want to talk to him any more, as if he was just an ordinary soldier who made a mistake in the barracks. This was a very Asgardian treatment.

In front of the father of the gods, first ask whether to surrender, then ask who is right and who is wrong. No matter what kind of lawsuit, as long as it comes to Odin, there can be no reasonable party, because disturbing the king of gods is a great offense.

Now Thor gave Loki this illusion. He continued the instinct he had developed in Asgard since he was born. He didn't dare to argue with Thor why he came here and why he was locked in a cage. He instinctively felt that he had to pay for the anger of the strong.

"Thor...Thor!" Loki clenched his fists, then opened them again, looking nervously at the ground in front of him. The veins on the back of his hands were clearly visible. He almost begged: "Thor, let me go, Thor..."

The cold touch of the spear against his neck made him start to fear, but what scared him even more was that Thor knew what he had done in Jotunheim and knew that all this was actually his conspiracy, but he was no longer angry. This was not revenge at all. He seemed to just dislike him for being noisy.

This feeling made Loki feel like his heart was torn apart.

"Swish", a green figure appeared in the hall. Loki widened his eyes and watched another identical self walking towards Thor.

The other Loki who suddenly appeared put away his staff, bent down and touched Thor's forehead with his head. In the etiquette of Asgard, this meant that he was about to bring bad news and he needed to ask Thor for forgiveness.

Thor reached out and touched Loki's shoulder, asking him to speak directly. Loki shook his head, sighed, and said, "Let him run away. Natasha is dealing with the other murderer."

"So there are indeed two murderers?"

Loki nodded, and he recalled what happened when he just left the Devouring Engine and went to the Earth in this universe.

Seeing the abnormality of Thor in this universe, Loki immediately teleported to Thor's side and checked Thor, but the magic check had no effect, so Loki had a little doubt.

Compared with Thor, Loki is more proficient in magic. He has many ways to make people go crazy in pain but cannot find any external injuries, such as magic curses.

Loki suspected that Thor was cursed, but he needed to find out what kind of curse it was, so he came to Asgard, and he needed to find out Thor's whereabouts recently.

Everything in Asgard could not escape Heimdall's eyes, but Loki was also the real Loki. Heimdall just wondered why Loki went in and out of Asgard so frequently, but he did not stop this later Loki.

So Loki staged a trick in Odin's palace. The moment he made a strong light, he bound the Loki of this universe with his power, sent back the Devouring Engine, and pretended to be the Loki of this universe and left Odin's palace.

He first came to Thor's bedroom, and asked several warriors in the martial arts field who were on good terms with Thor. They said that the biggest trouble Thor had caused recently was to go to Jotunheim to make a big fuss, and he had not left Asgard except for that.

Then the problem must have appeared in the Giant Country. Loki came to Jotunheim and met his so-called biological father Laufey.

In fact, Loki had seen Laufey in his own universe, but he knew more than Loki in this universe. Odin did not tell Loki in this universe that Loki was actually abandoned by the Frost Giants. Otherwise, Odin would not have picked him up and raised him.

In this case, Loki had no feelings for Laufey. The long set of words that Laufey prepared to alienate Loki and Odin were not used at all. Loki knocked him out with a staff.

Loki explored the surroundings and indeed found a trace of abnormality. There was a strange power that did not belong to the Frost Giants surrounding the palace. It seemed that someone else came here before him, and it was possible that they came earlier than Thor.

Loki suspected that Laufey was affected, so he did not trust him at all, but there was no one else to ask for information, so he woke Laufey up.

Loki didn't listen to a word of Laufey's so-called feud, but he keenly captured the key information. Laufey repeatedly mentioned that the "Ice Box", the treasure of the Frost Giants, was taken away by Odin, and Loki should take it back.

Loki knew that the Ice Box that Laufey mentioned was in Odin's treasury, but when he sneaked into Odin's treasury to get the Ice Box, he found that the power of the artifact disappeared.

Loki immediately made a guess that someone had influenced Laufey's mind, learned the information about the Ice Box from him, sneaked into Odin's treasury and stole the energy.

Combined with the abnormality of Thor in this universe, it is not difficult to guess that the opponent's next target is likely to be Thor's hammer.

Loki's first reaction was of course to find the Ancient One. After all, the Supreme Sorcerer is the Supreme Sorcerer in any universe. Now there is a strange guy on Earth, and the Ancient One must be responsible.

But after coming to Kamar-Taj, Loki learned that the Ancient One was investigating the murderer of his eldest disciple and was not on Earth at the moment.

After much inquiry from Loki, he learned that the next Supreme Sorcerer Stephen Strange had died mysteriously a few months ago. He had turned into a mummy, and all his energy and vitality had been drained.

Loki immediately thought of the previous multiverse Strange serial murder case. It seemed that this universe was also one of the victims.

Then it was not difficult to see who was behind the scenes. He even didn't let go of the energy in the artifact. Black Strange might have been chased to the end by a group of Ancient Ones.

In this case, Loki certainly couldn't let him succeed. On a dark and windy night, he came to the office of the director of S.H.I.E.L.D. and met Nick Fury.

He didn't tell his origins, but said that he came here in search of Thor's hammer and planned to make a deal with humans.

Nick called Natasha here, but Natasha was actually Loki's own. The two visitors from other universes sang the same tune and formulated a fishing plan for the mastermind behind the scenes.

Loki guessed that the mastermind was not strong enough to directly absorb the power of all the artifacts, otherwise so many artifacts in Odin's treasury would not have survived.

Loki, who had come into contact with artifacts, knew that most artifacts had fixed owners, and the owners of the artifacts would seal them. Only when the seal was lifted could the power be used at will.

The mastermind was able to obtain the power of the Ice Box, most likely with permission from the unconscious Laufey, and he was staring at Thor because he wanted to steal the energy of Thor's hammer when Thor was recognized by Thor and the seal of Thor was lifted.

Loki and Nick reached an agreement that Loki would completely lift the seal of Thor's hammer so that anyone could pick it up. Humans could use this power to solve their own problems, but they had to cooperate with Loki to set up a scheme and pretend to let Thor get recognition, so as to trick the thief out.

Loki, who knows Thor better, thought that the Thor in this universe might ask SHIELD to try to get Thor's hammer, but they never thought that Thor would choose to sneak into SHIELD to cause trouble for Natasha.

This is not in line with Thor's upright character at all, and it also makes Loki more vigilant about the mastermind behind the scenes. It seems that he is very good at influencing other people's minds.

Nick found Thor and his men had come to SHIELD, so he had to make an emergency dispatch. The three warriors of Asgard and Thor were not good at infiltration. With their stealth skills, it was impossible for them to get to the bottom of the SHIELD agent's apartment building without being discovered. It was just that Nick had said hello and asked the agents not to stop them.

Nick didn't have time to notify Natasha, but fortunately Natasha responded quickly and sang a double act with Loki.

Just when the purple light flashed on Thor's arm, Loki immediately raised his staff and a ray of light hit Thor's arm.

Thor was directly knocked away, but this force was very cunning. Instead of fleeing to the outside, it hit Thor's heart again, and Thor began to roll on the ground in pain again.

"...That's what happened." Loki lowered his eyes and said, "It might be a materialized curse, but he took Thor as a hostage, and Thor has now lost his divine power and cannot resist. I hesitated for two seconds, and I was a step late, so he ran away."
