Chapter 1104

Peter and his group took the underground shuttle and arrived at the basement of the Nord Building that Spider-Man 2099 mentioned.

In a dark basement, Spider-Man 2099 stretched out his finger and pointed upward, saying: "The female Loki you are looking for should be here, but we cannot leave the basement now, because we are all people without identities..."

"Now, the security robots flying in the streets and alleys all belong to the corporation. They will indiscriminately eliminate everyone without identity authentication. Except for some places occupied by freedom fighters, we cannot show our faces anywhere."

After speaking, he turned his gaze to Loki, as if he wanted to see how he would deceive the identity identification system. And Loki, however, appeared confident, his eyes emitting a faint light in the dark room.

He looked up, looked upward, and through the thick walls, his gaze wandered among the crowd on the upper floors. Soon, his gaze froze, and Loki locked onto his target.

He stretched out a hand, and the light emitted from his hand turned into ribbons and drifted out, slowly forming a human figure.

Spider-Man 2099 narrowed his eyes. When the figure took shape, he said with some shock: "Isn't this Fatty Bilkin? He is a famous rascal here. How did you..."

"This is not him, but his clone." After Loki withdrew his hand, the figure in front of him was lifelike, or rather, he was alive to begin with. Even after seeing Spider-Man 2099, he almost jumped up in surprise.

Fatty Bilkin shouted: "Good heavens, Spider-Man, how did you break in? Security! Security!!"

Spider-Man 2099 assumed a defensive posture, but Loki walked up directly and pressed his hand on Fatty Bilkin's forehead. Soon, Fatty Bilkin froze there. After a while, his eyes regained their luster.

He looked at Spider-Man 2099 and said: "Alright, you want to get in, right? I can help you open the elevator access, but I can only pass below the 10th floor."

"No problem, Miracle Lady won't be above the 10th floor either." Spider-Man 2099 said while turning his head to look at Loki, appearing somewhat surprised.

"The clone is completely identical to the main body. What the main body has, he also has. At the same time, the clone will share the main body's consciousness, but can be controlled by me. It is the best lock-picking tool..."

After speaking, Loki lifted his leg and followed Fatty Bilkin toward the door, but Spider-Man 2099 stopped him. He looked into Loki's eyes and said: "You intend to take your daughter with you?"

"She is not an ordinary person; you don't need to worry about her getting hurt." Loki said, but Spider-Man 2099 had no intention of moving aside at all.

"If we encounter others in the corridor, in order not to expose our identities, we will definitely have to take violent measures. Even if your daughter is of the God race and won't be easily hurt, are you sure you want her to see this kind of scene? This is no good for a child..."

"I'm fine!" Helen shouted: "I can go with you, I can also help you fight, I'm very powerful."

Spider-Man 2099 frowned deeply. He even looked at Loki with some vigilance and said: "Are you sure this is your daughter? You shouldn't have been letting her participate in these kinds of things, right?"

He took two steps forward and stood in front of Loki, saying: "Any responsible father would not let such a small child participate in this kind of violent conflict. A father's responsibility is to protect his child. You have to find a safe place for her..."

"She wants to come with me, what can I do?" Loki shrugged and said: "And I think she's quite happy, not scared at all."

"You are too irresponsible..." Spider-Man 2099 looked him up and down and said, "Even a tiger doesn't eat its cubs. Even if you are a God of Mischief, you shouldn't be so irresponsible to your own daughter."

Loki put Helen down, held her hand, and said to Spider-Man 2099: "The gods of Asgard are not as fragile as you think. For Helen, this doesn't count as any danger at all. And, she is a princess of Asgard and needs enough opportunities for tempering."

"Her father is also not you; you don't need to interfere in our affairs."

Spider-Man 2099 withdrew the expression on his face, slowly took two steps back, and said: "Perhaps you are smart enough, and your reason judges that doing this is right."

"However, one day, you will regret it. Love will make you lose all reason."

Loki stared at him, completely unmoved.

After a while, Spider-Man 2099 slowly moved aside. Loki held Helen's hand and walked out of the basement.

With Fatty Bilkin's help, the group successfully arrived at the 9th floor, and very fortunately, they avoided the pedestrians coming and going. In a room at the very end of the 9th-floor corridor, they found the Miracle Lady that Spider-Man 2099 mentioned.

In front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window of the Nord Building stood a slender figure. Hearing movement at the door, she turned her head and then froze in place.

She didn't look like Loki, and she had blonde hair. Her age also looked older than the Radiant Goddess that Loki turned into. If one had to say, her temperament was closer to Helen's.

The two Spider-Men didn't follow Loki in. Loki, holding Helen alone, walked into the spacious office hall. The woman in front of the window was just about to speak, but Loki said: "Ms. Sylvie, hello, I am Loki."

Sylvie in front of the window narrowed her eyes. She looked at Loki and then said: "Time Variance Authority?"

Loki nodded and said: "It seems I guessed right. You have had a long adventure in the timeline and are no longer the little girl you were back then."

"What are you looking for me for?" Sylvie tucked the hair behind her ear and stared at Loki with some vigilance.

"I need your help. The Time Variance Authority has run into some trouble. Those who once let you go might be troubled by that mysterious Director because of your departure..."

Sylvie frowned deeply, but then she revealed an annoyed expression and said: "What does that have to do with me?"

"Don't you intend to save them?" Loki asked: "After all, they also saved you."

"Saved me?" Sylvie's tone revealed a hint of sarcasm: "How did they save me? Handing me a time controller and then telling me to get lost as far as I can—is that called saving me?"

"The Director of the Time Variance Authority intends to interrogate you. If they hadn't sent you away, guess what state you would be in now?" Loki raised an eyebrow and said.

Sylvie looked away and turned to look at the scene outside the glass window. She said: "I guess you should also be one of the Lokis caught by them. Every Loki is a master at playing with the timeline and is the most notorious repeat offender..."

"You should have also put up a fight, like a madman, crying, making a scene, wanting to escape, but you were played in the palm of their hands, looking as miserable as a complete failure." Sylvie's voice revealed a chill.

"But you were a failure to begin with." Sylvie raised her voice and said: "Why don't you think about where you can go if you aren't caught by the Time Variance Authority?"

She turned her head abruptly and stared into Loki's eyes: "Stay in Asgard? Stay in a place that doesn't welcome you at all and will never be your home?"

"And you come to find me now—do you want me to help you return to that group of stupid idiots?"

Loki stared into Sylvie's eyes and said: "It seems the story is more complicated than I imagined. Have you never returned home in all these years?"

"My home? I don't have a home." Sylvie also looked into Loki's eyes and said: "I also don't have parents, no sisters or brothers..."

She lowered her head slightly and began to pace in front of Loki. She said: "I am different from you failures. I won't cry, shout, and want to return to that place that disgusts me to kiss the cold butts of that group of idiots!"

"What are you thinking?" Sylvie looked up into Loki's eyes again and said: "There are many things you don't know."

"Heh, the day before the Time Variance Authority people found me, I just found out that the place where I lived—everything here—does not belong to me."

"I will not inherit anything here. From beginning to end, I was just an outsider. No throne, no status, and I will never receive the same respect as others..."

Sylvie's eyes were full of coldness. She slowly said: "I was also Loki, and every Loki has experienced his dark day. Think about it, how did you spend that day..."

"Are you really as magnanimous as you appear? Really as indifferent as if nothing happened? Really never thought about escaping and abandoning?"

Accompanied by Sylvie's low tone, some vague images appeared in Loki's eyes. It was a sunset in Asgard. He and the equally young Thor ran into the sleeping palace of the Immortal Palace together.

They had played wildly for a day and were so tired they wanted to fall asleep, and at this time, his powerful father and loving mother found them, but what they brought was not the good news of Asgard's victory as in the past.

Or rather, that was good news for Thor, but for Loki, it was his darkest day, which he could never forget.

Because Odin told him that the one who would inherit the throne would be Thor, not Loki, and it would never be Loki.

From then on, he had nothing.

Those magnificent sceneries he had once looked at, the roars of war songs he had heard, every wisp of wind he had touched, every leaf that drifted before his eyes—would no longer belong to him, and would never belong to him again.

From then on, the other three formed a happy family, and behind this family, there was always a lonely ghost wandering outside the happiness of the family and the bustle of the crowd, never to be reborn.

Loki remembered that no one had talked to him about this for many years. Perhaps, except for him, no one remembered this anymore.

For others, this didn't count as a thing at all; it was just a light sentence. But Loki knew that the day he was abandoned was a scar he could never forget and could never let go of.

Helen, holding Loki's hand, suddenly looked up. She felt the trembling of Loki's fingertips, so she called out softly: "Dad!"

Sylvie, standing in front of Loki, had her pupils shrink. She immediately looked at Helen with burning eyes. After seeing her face, which was very similar to Loki's, she stared at Helen and asked: "Are you his daughter?"

Helen raised her face to look at Sylvie and nodded firmly.

Sylvie revealed a sarcastic smile and said to her: "Then take a good look. Look at your father—what kind of failure he is, like a stray dog thrown out..."

The next second, a scream echoed in the empty office hall, slowly pulling Loki's thoughts back.

As soon as he turned his head, he saw Helen biting Sylvie's arm.

And in the next two minutes, she bit her more than six hundred times.
