Chapter 37: From picking up trash to collecting trash

"Black Loki gave me two choices, and I'll give you two choices too."

"We surrender."

Before the two choices were even stated, Kid Loki had already learned to jump the gun.

Su Quan accepted their surrender, but he didn't believe they would actually surrender!

Because for a 'Loki', surrender is just a means to preserve oneself or prepare for a backstab; there is absolutely no psychological burden like 'a gentleman can be killed but not humiliated'.

If the enemy is strong, they bow their heads and plot in secret; once an opportunity is found, they will betray without hesitation.

Don't look at how they claim to be the number one mage of the Nine Realms; in reality, most Lokis are assassins, especially with backstabbing skills—they play it very smoothly!

Lokis as 'honest' as Old Loki are rare; it's purely a case of not attending to their proper duties.

Su Quan didn't care if the Lokis in front of him were surrendering sincerely; he wasn't that stupid to believe whatever others said, especially with Lokis!

Appreciation is one thing, but if you set aside the halo of film and television, Loki really doesn't count as a good person worth trusting; their 'good' is only directed at the main timeline Loki and has nothing to do with others.

As long as he is strong enough, their little thoughts of backstabbing him must be buried in their hearts forever, and they wouldn't dare to put them into action.

"My name is Su Quan, the 'Quan' of omniscient and omnipotent! I'm a very easy person to get along with; if you can't get along with me, find the reason yourself."

"At this stage, I won't stay here for long. When I'm not here, you need to collect resources from the outside that can be used. And when I say outside—I don't mean outside the castle!"

Not outside the castle, then that means—outside the Void?!

Old Loki's eyes flickered as he glanced at the indifferent Kid Loki.

He had come here the earliest and stayed the longest; he must have tried every possibility of leaving, which was why he was so calm about the possibility hidden in Su Quan's words.

"You, can you leave the Void?" Old Loki still couldn't help but ask, at worst he would just be disappointed one more time.

"I can."

Su Quan said very casually: "If I couldn't leave the Void, what would be the point of having you collect resources?"

"You had better remember firmly: my name is Su Quan, the 'Quan' of omniscient and omnipotent!"

Omniscient and omnipotent means knowing everything and being able to do anything, including—leaving the Void!

The voice was light, but to Old Loki's ears, it was like a heavy hammer hitting a big drum, shaking him until he couldn't stop trembling.

"Do you have a Time Variance Authority controller?" Kid Loki also felt a glimmer of hope.

The Void is a place you can enter but not leave; only through a Time Variance Authority controller can one leave.

Over the years, people from the Time Variance Authority had been pruned here, but either they didn't carry a controller, or the controller was damaged and unusable.

Su Quan shook his head: "For you, without a controller, you can't leave; for me, this place is my backyard—I come and go as I please."

"Every new king grants amnesty to the world; don't say I didn't give you a chance. Have a fight; the winner, I'll take out for some fresh air, so you can work for me with peace of mind in the future."

Old Loki and Kid Loki looked at each other; Kid Loki said with a kingly demeanor: "I concede, you go."

Old Loki looked at Su Quan, and Su Quan's tone turned cold: "I told you to have a fight."

Black Loki's corpse wasn't even cold yet, and the possibility of leaving the Void was within reach; what to do? They had to fight!

The two Lokis looked at each other again and attacked simultaneously.

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Invisibility (Old Loki)"

"Ding!"

"Combat detected, drop reward: Cold Immunity (Kid Loki)"

Old Loki dropped something again; the ability of invisibility has high practicality whether paired with illusion duplicates or watching a battle.

As expected of the number one mage of the Nine Realms, he has many abilities.

Kid Loki's cold immunity was just so-so; it was just a passive ability, likely from his Frost Giant bloodline.

"Boom!"

The flame sword in Kid Loki's hand was knocked down by Old Loki's magic; the two, without blushing or panting, decided the winner just like that.

Just like the battle between Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao, it was too fake to watch.

Not to mention anything else, this flame sword of Kid Loki's had a significant origin, its power not inferior to Mjolnir.

The Sword of Victory, Loki's exclusive divine sword in early comics; just like Thor summons Mjolnir, Loki can also summon the Sword of Victory.

Kid Loki must have used this sword to kill the Thor of his timeline.

"The sword is not bad. Prepare the supplies you don't need; I'll take them when I come back."

Su Quan stood up and walked over, gave Kid Loki an instruction, grabbed Old Loki, and left the Void.

"Shoo—"

Su Quan didn't take Old Loki back to the Quandou Society, but appeared at the entrance of an alleyway on a street.

"You actually left the Void? Aren't—aren't you afraid I'll run away?" Old Loki looked at Su Quan excitedly.

"You can't outrun me." Su Quan waved his hand and changed Old Loki into a set of ordinary casual clothes.

Strange clothes are too eye-catching; besides, Old Loki's uniform, apart from the gold-and-green color scheme and the tight fit, had another intolerable feature: just like the old version of Superman, he wore his underwear on the outside!
