Chapter 1860: The Madman's Journey (38)

After finishing the business, Loki finally had time to tease another self. He walked to the other self who was pressed to the ground by the spear, squatted down slowly, looked at him with a smile and said: "How do you feel?"

"Who are you?!" Loki, who was lying on the ground, gritted his teeth and said with some difficulty: "You damn fake, where did you take Thor? What on earth are you going to do?!!"

Loki shook his head and said: "I am not a fake, and neither is Thor. We are yourselves in the parallel universe."

Then he stood up and turned to look at Thor. Thor raised his hand and the spear that was pressing Loki flew up. Loki stood up from the ground staggeringly.

"I think we can talk." Loki turned his head and looked at Thor again. After retracting his gaze, he looked at another identical self and said.

Loki's mood was very complicated. He had suffered too many emotional shocks in recent times. First, he learned that he was not Odin's biological son, and then he learned that Odin was actually an invader of Jotunheim. Then he met Thor and himself in the parallel universe.

He also turned his head to look at Thor who was drinking at the bar. His face was so familiar, but his temperament made him feel distant and strange. This strange conflict made him have too many questions to ask.

He watched another self walk over and whispered a few words in Thor's ear very familiarly, as if to confirm something with him. Thor thought for a moment, glanced in his direction and nodded.

This gave Loki a great shock. In addition to the fact that Thor could think, he really couldn't understand why the self in another universe would be so humble to Thor.

Another self walked over and shook his head towards the corridor next to him. Loki followed him, and the two walked together to a room on the left side of the corridor on the right side of the hall.

This looks like a laboratory, but there are two single sofas and a small coffee table by the window. It is also the first time that Loki has seen a window in this strange place. Outside the window is the vast universe and starry sky. It seems that this spaceship is parked at the edge of the Milky Way.

Sitting on the chair, Loki felt a little uncomfortable. He wanted to make himself look not so curious about the answer. He couldn't help but ask: "Are you really us from another universe? I mean, your experience is exactly the same as ours?"

"That depends on when." Loki heard himself from another universe say: "Before Thor went to Earth, our experience should be the same."

"Then you..."

"I am a frost giant."

Loki opened his eyes wide. He didn't know how the other self could say this so calmly. He couldn't help but lean forward and gritted his teeth and said: "The frost giants are the enemies of the Aesir. Odin invaded Jotunheim, killed my biological father, and took away the artifacts of the frost giants."

"Yes, but you know it's not the first time he did this."

Loki was speechless. He didn't feel pain unless the knife cut him. He didn't feel anything wrong when he followed Thor to fight.

Loki relaxed his strength and leaned back to the chair, but the next sentence of his other self made his heart tighten again.

"Unlike you, the Thor in our universe is already the God King of Asgard."

Loki's hand on the coffee table clenched in a second. He didn't dare to look at the expression of the person opposite him. He turned his head away and asked: "What about you? What about his brother?"

"I am the prince of Asgard."

Loki snorted disdainfully and said: "Asgard has never had a prince, and Asgard doesn't need a prince. Is this how you comfort yourself?"

The expected fierce rebuttal did not come. Loki only saw himself nodding and said: "Yes, if the Thor in your universe also awakens so early, it will become "If you become so powerful, you will understand that this is the only way to choose. He will not let you be his enemy, so you can only submit to him."

"I will never do that." Loki leaned his head against the back of the chair, his jaw trembling constantly, and he said: "We are all princes of Asgard, and I have never been taken seriously. I want to take back what I deserve!"

"Then why didn't you do it just now?"

Loki's nails were almost embedded in the flesh. He tried hard to control his arms from shaking. The moment he recalled the strange Thor, his ambitions and all his courage melted like the ice on the lake in March.

Loki wanted to tremble, but he knew he couldn't. He tried his best to stay calm, but there was a sentence that pierced his heart like a sword.

"Because you don't dare." He heard another self say: "You have never been a very courageous person. You are used to protecting yourself and bullying the weak. Therefore, even when you are most angry, you only dare to question Odin, and you dare not deal with him like you deal with Thor."

Loki took a deep breath and said: "Just now, Thor reminded me of Odin. I have only seen such momentum in the father of the gods."

"So you didn't even dare to use your divine power to resist him."

"Is this what you want?" Loki twisted his fingers vigorously, looked at his other self, and asked, "Why don't you...why not..."

At the end, Loki didn't know what he was saying. He wanted to ask why he didn't kill Thor when Thor didn't become so powerful and majestic, but he found that he couldn't say the second half of the sentence.

Until this moment, he just wanted to teach Thor a lesson. He felt that Odin and his son owed him, but his so-called debt collection was more like just wanting them to see how powerful he was.

"If I say I never had a chance to kill him, that would be a complete lie. Even though he has begun to transform, a butterfly in its cocoon is always fragile."

Loki saw another self looking out the window, as if he was recalling something. After a while, he heard him say, "I even asked him to give up on his own initiative. Or maybe he was actually not pursuing anything other than feelings from the beginning to the end. He dared to love and hate, which made people jealous to the point of madness."

"Then you facilitated all this, and became his loyal minister with peace of mind, waiting for Thor to give you glory like a minister waiting for Odin's reward. Did you really want to give up your self-esteem and freedom?"

"Then what are you jealous of?"

Loki could no longer control himself. His Adam's apple trembled violently, and the words of loud rebuttal were already on the tip of his tongue, but on the other side, he pinched his knuckles with his thumb until they turned white.

What was he jealous of? Their closeness? Thor's recognition? The tacit understanding of eye contact? Or was it the balance and stability that could be maintained just by imagining it?

"Have you ever thought that Thor will become like this one day?"

Loki heard a question like a bolt from the blue, but he exhausted all his wisdom and could not find a tenable reason to refute it.

Thor will definitely become the God King of Asgard one day. If he ascends the throne, it proves that he is qualified, and a qualified God King must be powerful, indifferent, and full of majesty, just like the father of the gods.

"Then where should I go?" Loki murmured to himself.

"Are you willing to leave?"

Loki found that in these few short days, he encountered the most unanswerable questions in his life.

"So while Thor is still your silly brother, find a place that can accommodate you even if he becomes the God King. Since you can't leave freely, you don't have many options."

Loki was silent for a long time, then he took a deep breath, looked at himself and said, "Why are you telling me this?"

"I think we can make a deal. S.H.I.E.L.D. is in some trouble. You help them solve it, and we will let you return to Earth and reunite with Thor."

Loki turned his face away again. He tasted the word "reunion" on the tip of his tongue, feeling both hypocritical and warm.

And he seemed to remember something and asked, "What is the curse? Who cursed Thor?"

"The mad Supreme Sorcerer of another universe is our target. Of course, if you are willing to help us, we are also happy to help your brother revenge."

A dark light flashed in Loki's eyes. After a while, he restrained all his emotions, raised his chin and nodded gently.

The sound of "tapping" keyboards continued to ring, and the cold light shone on Natasha's face. Stark, who woke up a few hours ago, said that he had sent the test analysis results to the SHIELD database. Natasha was checking some images on the SHIELD computer.

The photo was a pile of molecular arrangements observed under a high-power magnifying glass. Stark used another color to highlight the wrong places. Natasha squinted and looked over, and clearly saw a trace that looked like a scratch.

After zooming in again, Natasha was shocked to find that it was actually a series of footprints.

The other party looked like he was running desperately. Because the curved bottle mouth was not easy to exert force, he had to step hard, and the traces left were very clear.

Natasha opened her eyes wide, looked away from the screen, looked at the air in front of her and muttered to herself: "Pym particles..."

"Bang!"

Natasha flew out of thin air, rolled on the ground for a few rounds and fell into the corner. She stood up, holding her stomach, and immediately realized who attacked her.

Just as she was about to adjust her center of gravity to fight back, a huge force hit the side of her cheek and knocked her against the door next to her.

Natasha gritted her teeth and pushed the door open, slamming it shut, but the next second, the hard metal security door shattered into pieces.

Natasha didn't have time to think about it, she stretched out her hand to the air next to her and shouted, "Mjolnir!"

As soon as a stream of light passed from the horizon, the glass shattered to the ground with a "crash", and the hammer with a metallic luster fell on Natasha's hand, "crackling, crackling, crackling", and several consecutive lightning strikes illuminated the black spots floating in the air clearly.

"Pim! Come out! I know it's you! Pim! Are you crazy?!!" Natasha roared.

When she thought of another civil war among the Avengers, Natasha was furious. The angry Thor Black Widow recklessly urged the power of Thor until everything around her was charred.

Nick, who came over after hearing the noise, didn't care about his lost property. He looked at Natasha with some concern and asked, "You were attacked. Who did it?"

Natasha sighed and raised the hammer towards Nick who was walking over. Nick was startled and instinctively stretched out his hands to signal Natasha to calm down.

"Why did Dr. Pym do these things?" Natasha looked at Nick coldly and said, "What happened to him? Answer me!"

Nick was stunned for a moment, as if he remembered something and said, "You mean it was Ant-Man who did it? But she..."

Nick put down his hands, stood there in silence for a while and said, "No, it's not Ant-Man, it's not Hope... it's her father, it's her father Hank Pym."
