Chapter 320: The Fourth Power of Ethics (Part 2)

When Nick walked in wearing a red elk sweater, Strange snapped his fingers and said, "Hey, man, you're much more fashionable than the last one."

Nick paused and asked, "Who? Captain?"

"Yeah, his red and green sweater is really bad."

"I asked him to choose one between the two, and he chose the red and green one." Nick lowered his head, stretched out his sweater, took a look at the pattern on it, and said, "To be honest, I like the one he's wearing."

"Did you use yourself as a model when purchasing these clothes? Haven't you ever thought about how disastrous it would be for white people to wear it?" Schiller stood up, took out another cup from the cupboard, and asked while pouring wine for Nick.

Nick walked to the sofa and sat down. He shook his head and said in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter. No one will wear it except me and the captain. Since no one wears it, you can buy any color."

"I think it's because this old-fashioned color is the cheapest? When you take them away from the clothing factory, they have to pay you for cleaning."

"Don't say that. This is my charge for winter reimbursement. If you didn't ask me to come here, I would still be busy with the statistics of 12,000 Christmas gifts per person..."

After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Loki sitting on the sofa, and then asked: "Who is this lady..."

"She is Loki."

"Oh..." Nick made a long sound and said, "Interesting."

"Aren't you surprised?" Strange asked him.

"A little, but I can't express my opinion. I am the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I can only remain silent on sensitive issues such as gender and transgender people."

"Come on, take away the bug you hid on Steve's clothes before you say that." Schiller glanced at him and said.

Nick waved his hand and said, "We are also responsible for supernatural events on Earth. It is normal for special agents on missions to have communication devices that can contact the headquarters at any time, right?"

"Did you hear what we said before?"

"I only heard the first version of the story, but I guess there should be a hidden version?" Nick tilted his head and nodded to Loki.

Strange briefly introduced the current situation to Nick. Schiller put the wine glass in front of Nick. Nick took a sip of wine and said, "Okay, I roughly figured it out. The plan and the accident have jointly led to the current situation, but generally speaking, it is still within the plan."

Loki nodded, lit the cigar, put it in his mouth, and then looked at Schiller who had just sat down and said, "When you suggested to me to make trouble and test Odin's attitude, I had some ideas."

"Only Thor would make trouble without thinking, or he really made trouble, but I didn't."

"If one day, I make trouble, it must be part of my plan, and this time is no exception." Loki smiled.

"Besides, Thor and his stupid friends can only cause minor troubles. No matter how many times they cause trouble, it's not a big deal. It has no effect except making people laugh at their stupidity."...

"But I won't do that. If I want to cause trouble, I will make a big noise, the kind that will make the whole universe boil..." Loki's tone was filled with the evil and madness unique to the evil god. She said, "I won't make the father of the gods angry, I will only shock him."

"You can just say that you want to beat your brother in causing trouble." Schiller concluded.

"Well, there are reasons for this, but it's not the main reason." Loki shook her head and continued, "When I decided to make some noise, I found that this was a good opportunity to kill three birds with one stone."

"Thor has not made any progress since he was exiled to Earth. He needs a chance to wake up."

"When I learned that I was not Odin's biological son, I suspected that there was a conspiracy, but I couldn't prove it. I needed a chance to test Odin's attitude."

"After the father of the gods fell asleep, some people were ready to coerce Thor, and Odin also needed a chance to suppress them..."

"I will put these three "Now it seems that your goal has been achieved." Strange thought for a while and said, "Thor has awakened and obtained the new priesthood of light. You are not killed by Odin now, which means that he still loves you very much, and the group of people who want to guide Thor should have surfaced..." "Yes, but there is one more thing. I deliberately sent Thor to Sakaar to delay him. He will only get in the way here, and without him, I can continue my plan." "Actually, you didn't plan to go to Sakaar, right?" Schiller asked. "Loki sighed and said, "Yes, but if you don't give Thor a little stimulation, he doesn't know when he can awaken." "I said why you ran to the lair of Gao Tianzun alone without divine power. It turns out that you are using a self-torture trick..."

"It's not a self-torture trick. I know that the High Lord dare not kill me." Loki rested his elbow on the armrest of the sofa, then put his fingers on his head and continued, "I didn't expect Thor to get a new priesthood of light, but this is a good thing. In the subsequent plans, Asgard will have more initiative because of this."

"You still didn't say what you are going to do next?" Strange looked at him.

"Don't worry, how is the business of the Sanctuary recently?"

"You still have the nerve to mention this? During the time you disappeared, I was almost crazy busy. Do you still remember that this is actually a joint industry? All the work is done by me. Is this reasonable?"

"Okay, then it seems that you should be very skilled in the business. Let me ask you a question..." Loki took a puff of cigar, exhaled the smoke, and then said, "Now, the Lord of the Underworld is looking for me all over the world, trying to kill me, and the God of Light is also looking for me all over the world, trying to protect me."

"The two of them hate each other, and the new hatred and old hatred are superimposed together. As long as I appear, they will definitely start fighting."

"Then the question is, we now know that a war between the cosmic demons is about to happen, and the conflict between the Kingdom of Death and the life force of the World Tree must be huge. What should the Sanctuary do?"...

Strange touched his chin and said, "Well... mediate?"

Nick shook his head and answered first: "We need to warn and tell other cosmic demons that we are going to fight."

"Are we going to deter them? Announce to the universe that Asgard is still very powerful. Even the hidden Hela and Balder can make such a big fuss, so no one dares to question Odin's majesty..." Strange understood quickly.

"That's right." Nick continued, "Sometimes, internal competition not only consumes power, but also deters the outside world. The strength shown in the civil war can make some forces dare not act rashly."

"And this will also shake the situation within Asgard. Thor has obtained the new power of light and is destined to become the new king of Asgard. But at this time, Balder, the former heir to the God King, made a high-profile appearance, and with him also appeared the princess of Asgard, Hela..."

"The position of the heir, which was originally unshakable, suddenly has the possibility of being shaken. This will trigger a major reshuffle within Asgard. I can use this turmoil to reorganize the forces within Asgard and even pave the way for the reform of the social structure in the future." Loki concluded.

Strange clapped his hands lightly and said to Loki, "The God of Deception is worthy of his reputation."

"In this plan, you have achieved all your goals, including awakening Thor, testing Odin, and disrupting the current situation in Asgard..."

"The only problem is, how should Balder and Hela fight? Hela negotiated with you, but Balder did not. Do you want Hela to play a fake match?"

"Why not? Anyway, even if she beat Balder, she can't beat Odin, and she will have to return to the Land of the Dead sooner or later. Then both sides will suffer losses, and they will retreat temporarily and return to the Land of the Dead to recuperate. Isn't this a good scenario?"

"In fact, I think this plan can be improved a little bit." At this time, Schiller suddenly spoke up, and the other three focused their attention on him.

"How about we really fight?"

"What do you mean?" Nick stared at Schiller and asked, and he was the first to smell a different smell.

Schiller looked at Strange and said, "You mentioned before that your Sanctum Sanctorum has created a magic broadcast that can send messages to all the demons in the universe. Can it send messages to only some demons?

"Of course, even if you don't use the broadcast, you can just use the customer service."

"Okay, then the distinguished customers who joined our premium membership before should get the latest cosmic news..."

"What do you mean?" Strange frowned and looked at Schiller.

"What I mean is that Balder and Hela have to fight anyway, so why don't we choose a place with more demons in the universe and really start a war."

"Before starting this war, we will use the broadcast to send the demons who have recharged the premium membership in the Sanctum Sanctorum a message that the war is about to start and ask them to take refuge. Then we will start fighting. Those who are alive are members of the Sanctum Sanctorum, and those who are dead are member gifts. How about it? "

The other three looked at each other, and before they could speak, Schiller added: "Of course, I know what you are worried about. It's nothing more than not having a wide enough range, not enough manpower, not enough lethality, and not being able to get many membership gifts to pay for the cost..."...

"But it doesn't matter. Don't we still have the most distinguished platinum members? Call them and start the war together. It's normal for so many powerful cosmic demons to fight at the same time, from Centauri to Purgatory Nebula, from the Eternal Kingdom to the edge of hell, right?"

"At the same time, the Sanctuary, which has a strong sense of cosmic responsibility and upholds the spirit of humanitarianism, has opened a rapid evacuation channel. Those who are willing to join as members can evacuate, and those who don't join are all gifts from nature."

"How much you can grab during the fight depends on your ability. When you come back after the fight, the protection fee collected will be divided according to the membership level..."

"Of course, this may be a bit messy. After all, it is difficult to measure the contribution of the war with numbers."

"Why not keep this part of the funds in the Holy of Holies as their joint investment? We will give them dividends on schedule. If you want more dividends, you can make additional investments. The more you invest, the more you get..."

"Then integrate the equity structure, set up a board of directors, and let shareholders vote to hire professional managers to divide the universe into large galaxy areas, large nebula areas, etc., and then set up branches, hire managers, and adapt to local conditions..."

"... Ahem, I've said too much. relationship, let's follow the ten thousand year plan first... Oh, wait, I forgot..."

Schiller looked around the three people and said, "You three can live forever, right? But, unfortunately, I'm an ordinary person, so I'm afraid..."

"Don't say anything, ten sets of infinite serum, this is the highest price I can offer."

"One hundred sets, otherwise no deal."

Nick stared at Schiller with his one eye and said, "Deal."

Schiller smiled, raised his glass and said, "Cheers to the universe."

The other three people had different expressions, but they all raised their glasses and said tacitly, "...Cheers to the universe."
