Chapter 1106

A golden light flashed, and a bright orange portal appeared in the dark alley of the city. When two big and one small figures appeared together, they looked a bit like a family of three.

However, obviously, the atmosphere of this family was not very good. Loki, holding Helen, looked around at the environment nearby and said: "It looks like this is not within the Nine Realms. Where did you open the portal?"

Sylvie snorted coldly and said: "Opening a portal within the Nine Realms—are you afraid Odin won't be able to find you?"

After speaking, she walked out of the alley one step ahead of Loki, and while walking forward, she said: "Even if I have left home for so many years, Asgard shouldn't have had any major changes. Odin's authority remains, and no one should think of taking advantage of her."

Hearing the personal pronoun Sylvie used, Loki raised an eyebrow. He asked with some curiosity: "In this world of yours, Odin and Thor are both female?"

Sylvie waved her hand, seeming to be annoyed by this topic. It looked like more than one Loki had asked her this question. She answered somewhat perfunctorily: "This universe is a matriarchal society. You'd better put away those stupid prejudices of yours, otherwise, I won't be able to save you..."

Unexpectedly, Loki revealed a brilliant smile. Soon after, Sylvie discovered that a group of bright light appeared behind her.

When she looked back, she saw a soft white light emanating from Loki's body. After the light disappeared, a black-haired girl appeared in place. She looked much younger than Sylvie. Judging by human appearance, she should be no more than 20 years old.

Loki's appearance was very beautiful, with innocence and coldness coexisting. If the temperament revealed on Sylvie was more of strength and vicissitudes, like a tree struggling to grow from barren land, then Loki was like a seedling carefully cared for in a castle garden, exquisite and carrying a trace of fragility.

Sylvie widened her eyes. When Loki walked up, she still couldn't believe it and reached out to touch her, wanting to see if this was an illusion created by Loki.

But actually, Sylvie's magical talent had long told her that this was not a simple illusion spell. Just now, the extension process of Loki had no power fluctuations at all, appearing profound and mysterious.

Loki tilted her head slightly, looked at Sylvie, and said: "Perhaps the Time Variance Authority told you that you are the only female Loki in all universes, but the facts are clearly not so."

"You..." Sylvie was clearly somewhat shocked, but Loki smiled, brushed her long black hair, and led Helen forward. The three of them, two big and one small, left the alley.

Loki looked up at the starry sky. From the structure of the star map, she judged that this might be the territory of the Shi'ar Empire, so she said: "Are you planning to borrow the free transfer station here to transmit to the vicinity of the Nine Realms?"

"Do you have any better way?" Sylvie slowly restrained her emotions, beckoned to Loki, and said: "I once worked as a civil servant in the Shi'ar Empire in other universes and know this place quite well. Let's go, let's go handle the identity first, and then find an intermediary."

Sylvie tried hard to suppress the complex emotions in her heart and led Loki to a nearby office.

The Shi'ar Empire is a multi-racial commercial empire. It is a mixed bag here, with many foreign populations, so there are alien registration offices almost everywhere.

Sylvie once worked here and naturally knew the ropes. They casually made up a humanoid race identity, received a temporary identity certificate, and then found a transfer intermediary company.

"Hello, I am Sylvie. This is our temporary identity certificate. We want to transmit to the edge of the Nine Realms." Sylvie handed the identity certificates of herself, Loki, and Helen to the clerk in the counter.

Soon, a clerk wearing the formal attire of the Shi'ar Empire led them into the office. After pouring tea for Sylvie, he said very friendly: "Are you newcomers?"

"That's right. As a foreign population with newly handled identity certificates, we should be able to use the free point transmission once, right?" Sylvie appeared familiar with the road. She said: "I have friends who once worked here... I know the precautions, you don't need to emphasize them."

The intermediary nodded and said: "Since that's the case, I won't say much more. Arno! Arno!... Go get them two passes. Children are free."

Soon, an alien with four legs, half-man and half-horse, brought two passes. After Sylvie took the passes from his hand, she was surprised and let out an "Eh."

"The transfer station of the Shi'ar Empire to the Nine Realms shouldn't be near the Kuiper Belt? What's going on with Centaurus? And this dimension is also wrong... Since when is this near the Nine Realms?"

The intermediary revealed a surprised expression. He stared straight at Sylvie and said: "My God, you wouldn't be one of those long-lived species that sleeps for thousands of years, would you?"

Loki and Sylvie looked at each other and both felt that something was wrong. The intermediary covered his forehead and said: "Alright, it seems you really are..."

"Don't you all know? Asgard launched the largest millennial war and won. The Kree Empire has been annexed by Asgard. In the current universe, the three major empires are the Shi'ar Empire, the Skrull Empire, and the Asgard Empire..."

Sylvie frowned deeply, appearing very unbelievable. As soon as the intermediary saw her expression, he knew that if he didn't explain it clearly to her, something would definitely happen, so he asked: "What are you going to the Nine Realms for?"

Sylvie was somewhat hesitant, but Loki walked up and said: "We are going to visit relatives. We have a relative who also married into the Vanir. You know, they like to intermarry with long-lived species."

"The place where my sister and I work is relatively remote. We haven't come out for thousands of years. We really didn't know that such a big thing happened in the universe... You must tell us what happened recently. If we go over without knowing anything and offend someone, it will be troublesome..."

The intermediary sighed deeply, invited the two to sit on the sofa, and said: "You long-lived species are really something. You hole up in one place for thousands of years at every turn, and you dare to transmit over rashly without knowing what happened in the universe."

"Forget it. Seeing that it's not easy for you to bring a child alone, if you want to find the Vanir, transmitting to the edge won't work. The territory that originally belonged to the Kree Empire has all been taken over by Asgard. It's too far to find the Vanir from the edge..."

"What exactly is going on?" Sylvie pretended to be calm, but anyone could hear the anxiety in her tone. The intermediary shook his head and said:

"I'll tell you the most important thing you should pay attention to first. The current ruler of Asgard is Thor. You should have heard of her—she is the former eldest princess, now the Queen of Asgard."

"About 2,000 years ago, Thor defeated her mother Odin and became the new Queen of Asgard. After she ascended to the throne, she immediately started the Second Millennium War of the Universe..."

"This war was much more tragic than the previous war between the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire. Both sides almost invaded each other's capitals, but in the end, Queen Thor, with her powerful strength, made the final decision, killed the ruler of the Kree Empire, the Supreme Intelligence, and completely destroyed their capital..."

"Asgard didn't get any benefits in this war either. They had too few people and couldn't completely control the territory of the Kree Empire, nor could they plunder many resources. It can only be said that both sides suffered."

Loki and Sylvie were both stunned. Both were clearly somewhat shocked. But Loki was the first to react. She looked at the intermediary and asked: "Did the other two major empires have no action?"

"The Skrull Empire wanted to take advantage of the fire..." The intermediary frowned and said: "But who dares to provoke Thor? She used a bolt of lightning to smash the capital star of the Kree Empire into powder. She is completely crazy."

"But... but why did they fight?" Sylvie still appeared unbelievable. She said: "In the last few hundred years of Odin's reign, didn't he already intend to put away weapons and release the horses?"

The intermediary sighed heavily and said: "The royal family's business—who can say clearly?"

Looking at his expression, Loki knew there must be hidden secrets. However, at this time, the intermediary stood up and said: "I have other clients. You two take the passes and transmit directly to the territory of the Vanir. It is open for trade there."

"After you get there, remember not to call the new Queen by her name directly. Her temper is not good. If you don't want to be struck to death by lightning, keep quiet..."

The intermediary waved his hand at them and then left on his own. Loki and Sylvie looked at each other, both seeing anxiety and confusion in each other's eyes.

The two hurried to the transfer station. Because the Shi'ar Empire is a commercial empire, their free portal is the largest in the universe. And because they are willing to let all races use their portal, the daily throughput here is very large.

Loki and Sylvie queued for several hours. In the gap of queuing, Sylvie kept muttering, as if she were telling Loki, and also as if she were comforting herself.

"Thor is not that kind of person at all. I know... I know her temper is a bit bad. She has been like this since she was a child, but she is actually... My sister is a quite gentle person. How could she usurp the throne?"

"And she is not a person who likes to create slaughter for no reason. Even if Odin is ruthless again, she shouldn't..."

Sylvie was clearly somewhat panicked. It could be very clearly seen that she actually didn't care about Odin at all; she just couldn't understand Thor's current situation, so she felt very anxious.

Loki didn't even need to mention their bet just now; he already knew that Sylvie, like him, valued Thor the most.

He couldn't help but recall that in the hundreds of years before the dark day, he and Thor were almost inseparable.

At that time, they were still young, didn't need to go to the battlefield, and had no homework to do. Every day was just traveling around.

Because Thor was older, knew more about various places, and had an outgoing personality, she was very likable, so she was the one who took Loki to play everywhere.

At that time, the Asgardians had no prejudice against the two of them and carefully cared for these two little princes. It was just that at that time, Loki's personality was more introverted and he was not good at socializing with others. Many times when trouble was caused, it was Thor who helped him settle it.

If one looks at Loki's life from the beginning, perhaps the dividing line was not the day Odin decided on the succession, although, on that day, Loki felt sad and disappointed, feeling that his parents were biased.

But what made Loki feel even sadder was that from then on, Thor didn't have so much time to accompany him. She had to temper her martial arts, learn how to govern the country, cultivate feelings with several other little partners, and occasionally follow the army to go on an expedition.

Loki knew that he was indeed abandoned, but it wasn't abandoned by Odin. Or rather, it didn't matter if Odin abandoned him; the All-Father was very busy anyway and had no time to accompany him at all.

Loki was abandoned by the brother who was inseparable from him, grew up together, and had the best feelings.

And in his memory, the darkest moment of the darkest day was in the sunset of Asgard, Odin holding Thor, walking across the long Immortal Palace Bridge.

And Loki, standing alone at the bridgehead, watched them leave.
