Chapter 212: God's Descent! (Part II)

Loki prided himself on being a god. He was actually very arrogant and rarely showed a humble attitude to anyone other than Odin, especially looking down on ordinary humans and unwilling to say half a sentence more to them, for which he was often lectured by Odin.

But the current situation was that Strange had become Loki's client, and Loki had to start explaining the plan to him in detail.

"Asgard rules the entire Nine Realms. Any movement here cannot be hidden from the All-Father. Not long ago, a symbiote carrying the seed of power of the God of Symbiotes, Knull, wanted to sneak into the Nine Realms."

Loki said while watching Odin's expression to judge the correctness of his deduction.

"At that time, the All-Father had already discovered him, but in order to figure out Knull's movements, the All-Father intended to wait until the seed of power erupted itself before dealing with it."

"Afterward, the symbiote organization Agents of the Cosmos visited Asgard, claiming they wanted to hunt down traitors of their race. The All-Father mercifully agreed to their request and let a symbiote of the Agents of the Cosmos enter Earth of the Nine Realms."

"During this time, we did a little business with some dimensional lords."

Loki turned his head again and glanced at Odin's expression, finding that he didn't have any dissatisfied expression, so he continued: "The dimensional lords submitted deposits to us, and we preliminarily finalized the rate of return with most of the demons."

At this time, Strange said: "I know about this part. Actually, it's only missing the last few, and all contracts have been signed."

"But relying on human fraud... I mean wisdom, is not enough to make these cunning dimensional lords invest heavily. Most of them are just holding a tentative attitude..."

Loki raised his tone slightly: "These demons with infinite lifespans are actually more cunning and cautious than imagined. Without seeing real returns, no matter how flowery the words are, they won't truly take the bait."

"Therefore, the All-Father and the Sorcerer Supreme believe that we must let them taste a little sweetness first."

"Only when these demons get tangible returns will they truly participate in this plan, instead of holding the banner of investment and letting humans provide consultant services without interruption."

"Indeed, I can feel that most of the demons calling the Sanctum Sanctorum now are just to have a consultant team. The deposits they paid don't count for much to them, but they can have a staff group that provides suggestions to them anytime, anywhere..."

Loki nodded, signaling that Strange was right.

"This kind of interest relationship is neither enough for humans to benefit from the transaction, nor enough for Asgard to obtain sufficient profits. If we can't further deepen the transaction, we are all busy for nothing."

"So, I have been looking for a source of power that can serve as a breakthrough in the universe under the order of the All-Father."

"But just at this time, that symbiote carrying Knull's seed of power erupted. The ancient demon Knull, who had been imprisoned on the planet Klyntar for a long time, wanted to project power to Earth."

"According to the intelligence I just learned in the Andromeda Nebula, Knull seems to be looking for a special symbiote, but regardless, he intends to open a power passage between the planet Klyntar and Earth."

At this time, the slightly anxious expression on Strange's face disappeared. He raised his eyebrows and said: "Just what we want, right?"

Loki nodded and said: "Indeed, but the All-Father believes that just projecting power through a narrow power passage cannot satisfy the needs of so many people like dimensional lords, Earth, and Asgard."

"So..."

"So just now, I went to the Andromeda Nebula under the order of the All-Father to carry out some minor survey work."

"There is a question..." Strange asked somewhat puzzled: "Is that Knull on planet Klyntar strong? If he really breaks out of prison and comes to Earth, do we really have the certainty to eat him?"

"Knull is indeed very strong." At this time, Odin spoke, his voice low and thick, carrying a majesty that others could not question: "He might be the oldest creature in this universe. The power he possesses is the chaos power of the universe's origin."

"He was born in the initial darkness of the universe. When he was awakened by the voice of the Celestials creating life, he denied this creation, believing that everything should return to chaos. Thus, he used an All-Black Necrosword drawn from the chaos of the universe to kill a member of the Celestials."

The Ancient One continued Odin's words and explained to Strange: "The Celestials are an extremely powerful cosmic deity. They interfere with the development of various civilizations in the universe and use various civilizations for experiments."

"Many years ago, the Celestials visited Earth several times." Odin's voice fell into memory: "All the god races on Earth combined were not their opponents."

"But even if the Celestials were so powerful, Knull still killed one of them. The Celestials who went to retaliate could not completely kill Knull. They could only defeat Knull and then throw him back into chaos."

"As long as darkness and chaos still exist in this universe, then Knull is immortal forever."

Strange was very interested in these cosmic wonders, but he also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it. He asked: "Since Knull is so powerful, we still take the initiative to provoke him, this..."

At this time, Odin and the Ancient One both showed a somewhat strange expression. They looked at each other, and Odin spoke first: "Knull's power is indeed very powerful, and it can even be said to be the most original power of the universe. The power status of other demons is all below him."

"But the only problem is that ancient creatures born in chaos and darkness are not very good at using their brains."

The Ancient One added: "Chaos represents nothingness and madness. For creatures with this attribute, no matter how powerful they are, their behavior is crazy and illogical."

"He has no purpose, no logic. The only way of existence for chaotic creatures is to let the universe return to chaos and darkness."

"It is precisely because of their chaos and madness that they don't consider too much when doing many things."

Strange heard the Ancient One's subtle hint. Simply put, Knull didn't have much of a brain.

But Strange felt this made a lot of sense, because thinking and wisdom themselves are order. Behind any crazy behavior of intelligent creatures, there is their own logic. If there really is a creature whose existence and purpose are anti-order, then it is destined that it cannot have too high wisdom.

Or rather, his wisdom is too advanced, and for the whole universe, it is too early.

Strange touched his forehead. He suddenly discovered that if this is the case, Knull is the best target.

Ancient, powerful, chaotic, crazy, not very good at using his brain, and because he has been locked up for too long, he can't keep up with the version rhythm. If we don't pit him, who do we pit?

"Wait, Mordo just told me that Earth's defense system has been broken through?" Strange looked at the Ancient One.

"Mordo's wording is a bit conservative, but he has always been like this." The Ancient One said very calmly while sitting in her seat: "From the moment the seed of power began to erupt, Earth's magic defense system has never been opened."

156n.

"But if Knull really descends, Earth is afraid..."

Loki shook his head and explained to Strange: "You can rest assured about this. I just came back from Andromeda. The cage imprisoning Knull is very solid. It is unlikely that his main body will escape. Only power can come."

"And the projection of power is like a pipe." Loki gestured with his hand and said: "At the end of the planet Klyntar where Knull is located, the entrance of the pipe was just expanded by me, allowing Knull to output power more quickly and efficiently."

"And the pipe opening at Earth's end was expanded by the Sorcerer Supreme. She removed Earth's magic defense system and even actively guided Knull's power to project accurately."

"Knull, born in chaos, will naturally want to use this power to defeat all enemies in front of him after projecting the power over, eroding this piece of the universe with darkness and chaos, just like he did before."

"And if he can't do it, then he will increase the input of power. Knull, born in chaos and darkness, will not understand what tactical detours and strategic retreats are. He will only want to use his powerful power to erode the universe."

"So as long as we can hold him back, we can let him continuously project power here?" Strange continued.

"But is it a bit too risky for us to choose this location on Earth? Earth is full of fragile ordinary humans. Not to mention Knull's dark power, they have no resistance to magic."

Loki shook his head and continued to explain to Strange: "Choosing the exit of the pipe on Earth doesn't mean that Knull's power can definitely descend directly to Earth."

"It's still the principle of this pipe. Although the exit of the pipe is on Earth, the dimensional lords participating in this plan will punch one hole after another on the path of this pipe, and then divide the power belonging to Knull from the holes they punched."

Strange suddenly realized. Loki continued: "In this way, almost no power will be able to fall to Earth."

"What you said is also a bit conservative." The Ancient One's voice came: "Judging by the appetite of that group of participants, it means there will be no power at all that can be transmitted to Earth."

"But..." What Strange wanted to ask was, what benefits can humans get? And the Ancient One seemed to see what he wanted to ask and said directly: "Now the initiative is in our hands, so we also have a very special right."

"What is it?"

"We can decide the location of their holes in the pipe."

Strange widened his eyes. He understood what the Ancient One wanted to do at once.

Simply put, this pipe is docked from planet Klyntar to Earth, with Knull as the output end and Earth as the receiving end.

Although this process cannot be explained by simple three-dimensional space, there is one rule that remains unchanged, and that is that power will have loss during the process from the output end to the receiving end.

This means that the closer the position of intercepting power is to the output end, the purer the power that can be intercepted, and the closer the position is to Earth, you can only drink the soup left by others.

Asgard and Earth joined forces to set up a trap. Asgard sent people to widen the output end, and Earth's Sorcerer Supreme was responsible for opening the receiving end. After these two parties held the exit and entrance respectively, they had the right to decide the seating arrangement.

The further forward the seat, the greater the return, but if you want a good seat, you naturally have to increase investment.

And most importantly, the rules of this investment game have changed from equal distribution to auction.

You don't have to sit in the front, as long as you are further forward than others. You also don't have to be further forward than everyone else, as long as you are further forward than your opponent.

The Ancient One smiled and said to Strange: "The next thing is to bid. They will be here soon."

Strange shrugged and said: "Alright, it seems the staff of the Sanctum Sanctorum have to work overtime again."

Then, he took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.

"It seems the staff of S. H. I. E. L. D. have to work overtime again." In S. H. I. E. L. D.'s office, Schiller took the cigarette Nick lit and said to him with a smile.

"Strange's call is quite timely, but you should have guessed some of it in advance, right?" Nick asked him.

"Indeed."

"Do you intend to go with the flow?"

"No, I intend to add an engine to the ship." ===== CHAPTER 213 =====
