Chapter 225 Loki (Part 2)
At the entrance of the SHIELD laboratory, Loki looked at Eddie and said, "You mean, you want to use my body to devour another symbiote?"
Venom said directly, "I can give you 30% of my power as my rent. Believe me, it's already a lot."
He turned his head and glanced at the riot in the laboratory and said, "The energy left in him should be very pure now..."
"I refuse." Loki answered very straightforwardly.
There is no special reason, and it is not because he does not want this energy, but because Loki and most people with his personality are skeptics. They do not want another intelligent life to enter their brains.
Venom was not surprised at all. He just continued, "One of my hosts used to be Tony Stark. He became the only one with magical power and infinite wisdom. You should have heard of it..."
"Don't you want to feel that wisdom?"
Loki was silent. People with his personality do have a common trait, that is, absolute confidence in their own wisdom.
As a participant in the whole process of Nar serving food, Loki certainly knew about Stark's deeds. As a wizard, he had a much better understanding of mystical knowledge than humans. He knew very well that the deposit energy from the demon god that Stark got was not enough to upgrade any single cosmic creature, so the only problem might be Stark's extraordinary wisdom.
People like them are very strange. On the one hand, they think they are the smartest people in the universe, and on the other hand, they are curious about the wisdom of other smart people. Loki had to admit that he was moved.
"Among my hosts, there is another person whose wisdom is not inferior to Stark. Although I can't say his name, I think he won't disappoint you." Venom added another weight.
The phantom demon next to him looked at Loki's moved expression. She really wanted to remind Loki that Venom had played with shit before, but she felt that it was not easy to say it.
"You are a god, your physical fitness can accept two symbiotes parasitizing in your body at the same time, and you are also a mage, with a mental barrier that can resist the attack of the chaotic power on your mind..."
"You will not suffer any losses, but you can experience the peak wisdom of the human race. How about it? Are you interested?"
"If you asked me this question two months ago, when I had not yet come to Earth, I would give you a negative answer, but recently, I have seen the magic of the human species, so I am really curious..."
The words that Phantom Demon wanted to dissuade Loki were already on the tip of her tongue, but Venom glanced at her, and finally she closed her mouth and said nothing.
Venom's method of changing hosts is very simple. He controlled Eddie to put one hand on Loki's shoulder, and then Eddie twitched, and then Loki instinctively raised his head and took two steps back.
He heard Venom's voice ringing in his heart: "...Huh???"
"What's wrong?" Loki asked.
"No... nothing." Venom's voice still had some doubts that had not yet dissipated. Loki then asked him: "What should I do next?"
"I need to adapt to the host's body. We'll come back in a few days."
After saying this, Venom fell silent. Loki could not feel that there was another symbiote in his body at all. After leaving the SHIELD base and returning to the streets of Manhattan, Loki was about to use the ability to teleport when Venom's voice sounded again: "Don't teleport, let's walk back."
"Is this a special habit of your race?"
"No, it's just that this is good for your mental health, because next, I'm going to read your physical examination report."
"Physical examination? Symbiotes also have this function?"
"This is the most basic function of symbiotes, but I generally don't feedback the report to users, because for humans, knowing how many cells their bodies are made of is meaningless,"
"It doesn't make sense for the Aesir either." Loki replied him.
"That's the problem."
"What?"
"Aesir..."
"What happened to the Aesir?"
"I'm curious." Venom's tone was complicated. He asked, "What on earth has made you firmly believe that you are an Aesir for so many years?"
"I..." Loki felt that he did not understand the grammar of this symbiote. He asked, "What do you mean? What do you mean I think I am an Aesir?"
"This is a euphemism." Venom's voice echoed in Loki's mind: "My conclusion is that you are not an Aesir."
"...What did you say???" Loki stopped and asked in shock and confusion.
"The symbiote has suffered a thunder attack from the Aesir. This attack caused fatal damage to most of the symbiotes, and also made us engrave this power in our gene pool."
"I just made a detailed comparison and confirmed that you are definitely not an Aesir."
"What are you talking about?" Loki asked in disbelief.
"You'd better believe my conclusion. This is the innate talent of the symbiote. We are the most accurate physical examination machine in the universe."
"I feel the emotions that you are unwilling to admit, but there are already clues even in the superficial memory."
"Your physique is very weak, and you are far behind your peers. You don't have the innate strong power of the Aesir, and you can't lift those artifacts such as giant hammers and heavy swords..."
"Whether it's physique, strength or personality, don't you feel that you are a little out of place?"
Loki froze. He raised his hand, and after a few seconds, he put it down again, turned around and walked back, his steps were a little stiff.
On the streets of Manhattan, even though summer has passed, the midday sun is still very strong. Loki walked in the middle of the pedestrian path, and didn't even hide in the shadows at the edge of the building.
He once laughed at humans who don't have magic and waste most of their lives on the road, but now he finds that walking is not just a process of rushing to a destination, especially when you don't have a destination at all.
Loki didn't know where he was going, but he kept walking forward, just like he became a tiny black dot in every dusk of Asgard, crossing the bridge in front of the Asgard gate and passing through one arch after another.
In his memory, the road to Asgard was always very long, because it was the only area in Asgard where magic teleportation was not allowed. In his childhood, he had complained countless times that this long walk wasted his life.
But he didn't know when he started to enjoy this process, and even hoped that this process would be longer, so that he would never enter the gate of Asgard and face the person he least wanted to face.
What made him feel even more absurd was that at this moment, the only thing that could bring him some comfort was the process of walking down to earth like a mortal.
Time always passed quickly when thinking, and before he knew it, Loki had actually walked to the door of the apartment. He looked back and found that he was indeed walking on an ordinary street, not the magnificent and magnificent bridge of Asgard. What he was facing now was just the unit door of an apartment, not the entrance of Asgard.
The elevator door opened, and footsteps echoed in the empty corridor. The sound of the key being inserted into the lock was a little abrupt. When the door was pushed open, Thor, who was standing in front of the French window fiddling with the electric clothes hanger, turned around and saw Loki standing outside the door. He asked, "Why are you back at this time? Aren't you going to work?"
The sunlight outside the window made Thor's back appear haloed, just like the halo on Odin's throne. Loki closed his eyes in confusion. He took two steps forward, then held the wall and half-knelt down, just like he often did when he met Odin.
Thor showed a panic expression. He hurried over and asked, "What's wrong with you? You...wait, your divine power has not been deprived, you shouldn't be sick, right? Why..."
Just as he took out his mobile phone to make a call, Loki stood up, pushed Thor away, and walked into his bedroom, closing the door with a "bang".
Thor was a little confused. He mumbled a few words and continued to fiddle with his clothes.
Loki put one hand on the door, trembling all over. He took a few deep breaths, then dragged his heavy steps to sit on the bed and leaned against the bed.
"What are you still doubting?" Venom's voice sounded in Loki's mind: "According to my current feeling, your wisdom is indeed very outstanding, so it should not be difficult to find those clues in daily life."
"Or, have you really deceived yourself so well that you can be at ease as a duck among chickens?"
"No, I'm just thinking..." Loki's voice contained complex emotions.
Loki's Adam's apple moved while leaning against the head of the bed, and he looked up at the ceiling.
A very obvious fact is that if he is not an Aesir, then Odin cannot be his biological father, and Thor cannot be his biological brother.
Loki did not doubt why his physical condition was so poor, but he did not dare to ask Odin, the father of the gods, and his mother Frigga always explained to him that this was congenital deficiency and he was unlucky.
Loki didn't know how he convinced himself with such a flawed reason, but in his memory, there were more complaints about injustice and jealousy of Thor.
When he was searching for his memory, he dug out the fragments hidden in the corner. All the children were willing to play with Thor because he could always lift the biggest stone. In the duel competition, he could only stand in the last row and watch from afar, because he knew he would not have the opportunity to play.
"I tasted a hint of revenge in your emotions, but there were too many impurities mixed in. It tasted bad and I didn't like it." Venom's voice suddenly became a little trembling. He said: "Revenge should be pure. What did you mix into it?"
Loki ignored him. After recovering from the initial shock, Loki's mood became more complicated. If you say that Odin's biased actions in the past have been explained, what happened recently?
Loki thought about it in confusion and found that he didn't do anything special, but he and Thor were treated completely oppositely.
While Thor was thrown on the earth, without weapons, without divine power, and suffering from hunger and cold, Loki was standing among countless cosmic demons. Odin introduced him to those demons as his son, the prince of Asgard, and the most talented and potential wizard in the nine realms.
Then Odin left him a place on the power channel, and then simply began to instill those powers into him. In the end, he even gave him a position of a true god, and he was the first true god position among his peers.
Loki never dreamed that he would receive this honor. Even if Thor was not counted, there were too many excellent warriors among his peers in Asgard. They charged in front, blocked the enemy behind, and were loyal to Odin. They were the mainstay of Asgard's future.
There are some reasons why Loki still stays on Earth until now, and he doesn't want to face these people. He can imagine the questioning look they give him, as if he is a thief who stole the honor that originally belonged to Thor.
In fact, not only them, but Loki himself also has doubts.
