Chapter 236 God of Fraud

Chaos, darkness, coldness, these are all Thor's feelings. After a pain that tore his body apart, he woke up. When he found himself regaining consciousness, he was overwhelmed by the horrible despair and pain.

Thor was lying on a wasteland. He tried to open his eyes. There was a hazy white mist in front of him, and then there was a faint halo. He felt his lips were cracked, his whole body was in pain, and there was a strong smell of blood between his breaths.

Is Loki dead?

Loki... is dead.

He saw with his own eyes that Loki was hit by the light of the Rainbow Bridge and then returned to the World Tree.

He also saw with his own eyes that his priesthood was taken away, which meant that Loki's body was indeed destroyed, and the last action he made before his death was to infuse his priesthood and divine power into himself.

Thor lay there, feeling a cluster of blazing flames beating in his chest. He didn't know whether it was Loki's priesthood or his anger.

What killed Loki was the Rainbow Bridge, Asgard's most powerful weapon.

And the one who manipulated him was Heimdall.

Thinking of this fact, Thor felt that his soul was in pain as if it was about to break apart.

He knew very well that Heimdall's most important job was to guard the Rainbow Bridge, and it was impossible for anyone to cross him and activate the Rainbow Bridge to attack Loki.

Heimdall killed Loki, Thor was unwilling to admit it, but he knew that this was the fact.

Thor didn't want to think about what caused all this, but he also knew that he understood it all.

Thor always knew that the Asgardians didn't like Loki, and could even say that they were very contemptuous and disgusted with him. They were even dissatisfied with their compliance with the rules of the Father of the Gods to salute Loki, because they felt that Loki was a person without a sense of honor and was not worthy of being a member of Asgard.

Thor knew that his brother was sensitive and suspicious, and he had felt resentful several times when the Asgardians ignored him.

Thor thought that he had indulged all this and indulged the endless suspicion and contempt of Loki by other people in Asgard.

He thought of what Loki said to him. Did these people really not consider the struggle for power and profit in their actions? Just because he was the future heir of Asgard, they could treat another prince who had no right of inheritance like this? Imagine him as an enemy, be on guard against him all the time, and speculate about him with the greatest malice?

Then, do they also have the utilitarianism of fighting for their own interests in their admiration for themselves?

Thor lay on the ground, his mind began to be a little scattered, but at the same time, he began to associate constantly. If he had strangled Loki's neck today, would Heimdall dare to activate the rainbow bridge to attack him?

He didn't dare, Thor said to himself in his heart, Heimdall certainly didn't dare to do this, because he was the future heir of Asgard, and Loki was just an unappreciated prince.

This was the most important reason for all these tragedies. Thor closed his eyes, and his breathing became heavier and heavier. He thought, the Asgardians were dissatisfied with Loki and ignored him, and Loki resented the injustice of the father of the gods and other people in Asgard, and what did he do?

I did nothing.

When the seeds of contradiction were planted, he was complacent about his honor and military exploits. When the contradictions accumulated deeper and deeper, he was proud of others' praise for his bravery.

Many people and many things played in front of Thor's eyes. He and all his peers in Asgard were brothers. They always praised him with a smile, went hunting for him, brought fresh fruits, and served fine wine.

The face of Odin, the father of the gods, flashed in Thor's eyes again. In his impression, Odin had never expressed satisfaction with this, and Odin had never praised Thor's reputation among the people of Asgard.

Perhaps Odin knew long ago that there were too many insincere compliments in this world. Once indulged in them, he would become arrogant and arrogant.

When did he start to become like this?

Thor began to recall that he followed Odin to fight outside, and the praise of his subordinates and the compliments of his predecessors surrounded him. The voices became louder and louder, and began to lift his soul higher and higher, making him feel that he was omnipotent and deserved it.

Will there be sincere praise among these people? Perhaps there are, and there must be someone who is proud of his bravery and fighting skills.

But whether this is really a submission to his military strength and leadership, or whether it is believed that this kind of fighting skills will bring more honor to themselves and their families, no one knows.

Thor suddenly felt a little ridiculous. He used to be so addicted to this kind of praise, like a dog chasing a bone. They can manipulate his emotions at will by moving their mouths effortlessly, making him complacent and ignoring many things that should not be ignored.

The praise of subjects and subordinates can win the king a smile, but Thor found that he actually regarded this smile as the ultimate goal.

With endless regret and sorrow, Thor's consciousness was shrouded in a layer of black mist, and then slowly sank into deeper darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a drop of cold rain fell on his face, and the slight itch of a feather brushing against his cheek made Thor open his eyes from the haze.

His breathing was very weak, and he heard a shrill voice saying, "He's awake, he's awake!"

Thor tried to breathe, opened his eyes and looked over. The sun shone on his face, making him feel waves of heat coming at him. At this time, a huge wing stretched out in front of his face, blocking the sun for him. A bird's face came up to his face and asked, "Are you awake? Who are you? Why are you here?"

Thor heard that it seemed to be speaking the common language of a certain edge galaxy, but Thor could understand some of it. He said, "Where is this...?"

"This is the edge of the Woka Red Ring. How did you fall here?"

"What is the Woka Red Ring...?"

"Oh, I see! You are also a criminal who was exiled here, right? This is Sakaar, the star of the Tianlu system's Taiyo system The main planet, of course, people in the universe prefer to call this place Sakaar garbage dump.

Sakaar?

Thor's mind was in chaos. After a long time, he recalled that he had passed by here with the father of the gods before, so he could understand some of the common language here.

He opened his cracked lips and looked at the sky. The sky here was completely different from the earth. It was covered with a layer of light green. There was a huge planet with star rings hanging in the sky. The sun also seemed bigger and the sunlight was more toxic.

The sun was getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes, and the white light was getting more and more dazzling, gradually occupying the entire field of vision, and the eyes were pale.

With a "click", the white light disappeared, the switch of the desk lamp was turned off, and Schiller sat beside the bed and said: "So why did you throw him to Sakaar?"

"Of course it's because that place is really suitable for him. "

A voice came from the hospital bed, but no body was seen. What was a little scary was that Loki's head was resting on the pillow, but his body was full of starlight.

It's not accurate to say it was starlight, because all the stars were stuck together by black mucus. His body was like a big net made of symbionts. The black mucus was trying to climb and move, collecting the power of those stars and weaving them into a body again.

Schiller held a cup of coffee and said, "I wanted to pour you a cup, but now you have no digestive organs, so forget it."

Schiller and Loki looked at Loki's body together. Loki laughed. Schiller said, "You are still in the mood to laugh?"

"Of course I am in the mood to laugh. I can guess what that idiot is thinking now."

"He must feel that he is stupid. How could he believe the words that those people praised him before? He must feel that he is a clown and take the least important things so seriously."

"Honor, honor..." Loki sighed and said, "Who gives honor to whom? "

The door hinge rang, and Strange walked in. He looked at Loki and said, "If I knew your plan was so risky, I would never take Thor with me."

"Risky? Well, I admit that I had a little gambling element, but obviously, I bet right."

"Tell me about your plan from the beginning. I think you really need an audience now."

Loki smiled again, he seemed very relaxed, and then began his story.

"Thor's biggest problem is that he is too addicted to the fictitious sense of honor and mission. He has never figured out one thing, that is, who gives honor to whom?"

"The father of the gods stands on the highest throne. Whoever he gives honor to is a brave warrior of Asgard, but Thor is just the opposite. Everyone praises him as the bravest warrior of Asgard, so he thinks it is true."

"The Aesir is a very strange race. "Loki's tone was somewhat sarcastic and a little emotional: "They are born warlike, but they are unwilling to admit that it is the violent gene in their bones that makes them want to start wars all the time."

"So, they want to put a hypocritical coat on the war, calling it honor and mission, but in fact they are just indulging in the pleasure of victory and conquest."

"If a king can't understand this, he will never rule the Aesir, but obviously, the father of the gods has done well enough."

"He regards war as a bone thrown to the dog, and uses honor and mission as chains and collars to drive the warriors of Asgard to fight for him, and at the same time regards him as the most wise king, willingly being ruled by him and grabbing the fruits of victory for him."

"But Thor doesn't understand this. He chases bones with the dogs instead of being a person holding a chain and throwing bones."

"If he continues like this, he will be deceived by honor and lead Asgard to the abyss of destruction. "

"His trust in the Asgardians is based on their flattery of him, but the All-Father never needs the flattery of the Asgardians, he only needs them to fight bravely for him."

"What is the ultimate purpose of the All-Father throwing Thor to the earth? To make him learn humility? To make him learn kindness?"

"No, no king needs these things. Besides, although I often laugh at Thor, I have to admit that he is actually a good person, kind enough, even a little too kind, which makes him look stupid."

"The Father of the Gods wants him to understand that any flattery from anyone in Asgard, all the so-called honor and mission, are meaningless."

"Without enough power and weapons, he can only live a hard and poor life like an ordinary earthling."

"When he wakes up from that false sense of honor, he may embark on the road to becoming a true king."

"Why did he go to Jotunheim to make a scene? Because he was worried that the disturbance at the ceremony might cause his image in the hearts of the Asgardians to plummet. He was worried that the Asgardians would no longer respect him as much, and he was worried that this accident might make him unable to convince the people."

"But the Father of the Gods never used image, face or a certain example to convince the people. "We all know this. In fact, in addition to Thor himself, many bystanders can see that he has put the cart before the horse, but this may also be related to his father's education of him. Odin made up a set of honor rhetoric and deceived his son." "You want him to realize this and wake up from these false honors, so you played a trick of self-torture?" "But I don't understand." Strange looked at Loki and said, "How did you achieve all this?" "This is the simplest. Sif and those three idiots don't trust me at all. You can only say that they hate me very much. Heimdall seems to be neutral, but I know he is very suspicious of me." "I deliberately did it under their noses Downstairs, running back and forth in several warehouses, banging and beating, acting suspiciously.

"I grew up with Sif and the others. To be fair, I know they are simple-minded and rarely think about twists and turns. What is surprising is that they don't think I am a threat. They may just think I want to play some pranks or something."

"But their families are different. Sif's two brothers are deputy captains of the fleet. The other three have two elders who are close ministers in front of Odin's throne, and one is the deputy commander of the palace guards..."

"They have always kept a close eye on me, because what they can't accept the most is that I have any possibility of getting promoted, because everyone knows that once I get promoted, they will definitely have no war to fight. , Asgard will take a completely different path. "

"These Aesir have already engraved violence and war in their bones. They will never accept such a result, so they will definitely instill this concept in their children. They must keep an eye on me and don't let me threaten Thor in any way. "

"Thor is the king they want, and I am not."

"Originally, this was an established fact, but recently, the attitude of the Father of the Gods is a little subtle..."

"Indeed, he knocked Thor down to the mortal world, and then gave you a priesthood of a true god, and it was the first among your peers."

"I can imagine how they tossed and turned to figure out the psychology of the Father of the Gods, and just when they wanted to test it, the Father of the Gods fell asleep."

"Just at this point, I sneaked in and out of the warehouses, pretending to want to murder Thor with conspiracy and trickery, and they would unite like headless flies to discuss what I was going to do and whether I would really threaten Thor. ”

“In this way, I attracted most of the attention of this group of people, including Heimdall who was guarding the Rainbow Bridge.”

“Heimdall is the only one in Asgard who has the right to activate the Rainbow Bridge except the Father of the Gods. Even the Queen of Gods Frigga and the Grand Commander of the Palace Guards do not have this right.

“So you brought the Destroyer to the Earth, and then pretended to kill Thor and his companions to attract the Rainbow Bridge to attack you, but aren’t you afraid that the Rainbow Bridge will really kill you?”

“So I said, I have a gambling element.” Loki’s eyes flashed with a crazy color, but his tone was very calm. At this time, he was more like the famous god of fraud in the universe.

"I know Heimdall a little bit. He is a relatively conservative Asgardian. That is to say, although he supports Thor, he is just suspicious of me, not strongly opposed."

"In short, he doesn't hate me, but thinks I am not suitable to be the heir of Asgard. When I was doing business in the universe some time ago, I frequently used the Rainbow Bridge, and he didn't say anything."

"So I am sure that even if he remotely controls the Rainbow Bridge to attack me, he will definitely control the power and will not really kill me, but just stop me from hurting Thor."

"But you performed the "Death of Loki" in front of Thor."

"Yes, I have to thank him for this." Loki lowered his head and looked at the venom in his body. Venom was busy at the moment and had no time to answer them. Loki said himself: "Before, when this symbiote came to me, he said that he wanted to devour his kind, and his kind had the most refined power of Nar in their bodies."

"After adapting to my body, he started his plan, but he found that it was not that simple. The symbiote named Riot had been resisting with the power of Gnar, and Venom had no good way to destroy him."

"If we fight head-on, the final outcome may be a lose-lose situation. Riot will consume all the power left by Gnar, and Venom will get nothing."

"I understand." Strange sighed and said, "So you two are in cahoots?"

"This is mutually beneficial. Venom put Riot into my body, and then when the Rainbow Bridge attacked me, he used it to withstand most of the damage. This can not only weaken Riot's power, but also block damage for me."

"Then how did you do this?"

"The Rainbow Bridge is Asgard's most powerful weapon. Even at the lowest output, it is enough to seriously injure me, but this effect is not explosive enough and may not stimulate Thor. I must show him a real death scene. "

"So, when the Rainbow Bridge attacked me, I let Venom attack Riot at the same time. The two symbiotes fought in my body. I don't know if you understand the process of their battle..."

"I understand that in just one second, they can launch an army battle in every cell of yours, and the effect is almost the same as igniting a huge nuclear bomb in every cell of yours..."

"Yes, the battle between Venom and Riot destroyed almost all of my body, and also let Thor see a real death scene."

"You should have other purposes, such as your divine power and priesthood?"

"Yes, after my previous investigation..." Loki sighed and said, "I found that I may not be suitable for the priesthood of the God of Fire."

"But Asgard's priesthood system is a very magical thing. Once chosen, it can never be changed. An Asgardian with a legitimate priesthood can hardly change his priesthood, except for one possibility, that is death, or infinitely close to death. "

"At that moment, the venom sealed my consciousness and then dissolved my body, which deceived the World Tree and made it think that I was dead, so my power and priesthood were extracted from my body."

"When my consciousness returned, I took the initiative to pour my power and priesthood into Thor's body, and I could rebuild and change to a more suitable priesthood."

"So, the two of you can get three shares of power and priesthood. How did the World Tree give birth to such a genius like you?" Schiller also said with a smile.

Strange said with some sigh: "The people of Asgard used praise and boasting to weave a web of lies for Thor, and you, the God of Lies, died to expose this lie..."

"So..." The three looked at each other and smiled.

"...Please find out the area of ​​Thor's psychological shadow at this time. ”

Yesterday, I saw that the reward for the monthly ticket activity was to update more chapters. In order to avoid updating more chapters, I decisively entered an impossible number (I thought), 10,000 monthly tickets.

But when I woke up today, I found that it was more than 4,000.

My eyes went dark.
