Chapter 2691: Hollywood Rhapsody (Part 50)

Strange found the Loki of the past.

To be precise, it was the Loki who hadn't had any intersection with the superheroes of Earth yet, the transparent person and annoying spirit in Thor's team.

The Loki of this period was quite awkward. When he and Thor were still young, neither of them had any serious business. Every day they were fighting chickens and walking dogs. People at most said that the children were energetic, and they didn't pay much attention to those pranks of theirs.

But as they grew older, after the two got rid of their youth and began to lean towards adulthood, the gap in their physical fitness became larger and larger, especially after experiencing the Asgardian royal courses. Most instructors shook their heads and sighed at Loki.

Thor stood out during this period, won unanimous praise from everyone, and soon had a place in the Asgardian army, and even had his own small group not long after.

Because they were brothers, Thor naturally brought Loki along, but the Loki of that period was useless for the front battlefield, inevitably suspected of holding back, with a twisted personality and a poisonous mouth, not very in line with the traditional Asgardian aesthetics, and his relationship with others in the small team was not very good.

As the war continued to expand, Thor became busier and busier, but that was also the time when Loki was most lost. Sometimes Thor was too busy to take care of him, so he tried every means to find a sense of existence in front of Thor. Sometimes he even caused a lot of trouble for Thor, and also made others look down on him more and more.

Strange went to find him, actually to dig a hole for Shiler in advance, because Loki could also be considered a patient who came into contact with Shiler relatively early. Shiler invested a lot of energy in him, and even didn't hesitate to treat Thor and Odin together.

In Strange's view, the more people who restrained Shiler's energy, the better. This way, a greedier kidnapper could be cultivated, and the relationship between him and the superheroes would become more solid.

After experiencing so many things, Strange had discovered a truth that Stark hadn't discovered—Shiler shaped Shiler himself.

Shiler didn't become like this today because of any hidden reasons, but more because he wanted to become like this, so he became what he is now.

Instead of looking for the reason why he became like this in the past, it's better to spend more time laying out the future. He wants to be a doctor, so give him more patients. At least he can find a sense of existence in the process of treatment.

Strange didn't have such a firm sense of justice as Stark. It could be said that some of his moral concepts were also distorted.

Still the same sentence, I'm crazy and this world is crazy, as long as you are firm in one point, people will live very happily. It has never been the case that people who are about to be crazy but not crazy are painful.

Since the pathological state is the ontology, it can never be cured. The more serious the illness, the happier you are. Then it's better to use the time spent looking for a cure to play a patient-doctor role-playing game. At least in this process, everyone is happy.

And it's also hard to say who is the patient and who is the doctor. On the original timeline, the only one who mastered the initiative was Shiler. He was the best doctor who said one thing and did another. He fed on their emotions, but was stingy about paying for the big meal, just greedily and constantly taking.

But this time it's not necessarily the case, Strange thought. He wanted everyone to know that in the future, they would definitely meet a greedy kidnapper who would make it a habit to demand from hostages.

And once the kidnapper becomes dependent, the hostage is not completely without room for bargaining—this is what they deserve.

Only this kind of game with back-and-forth is easier to make people indulge in it. Only then can they be more fully invested and get more happiness. Why not?

Loki and Natasha were both smart people, so Strange didn't need to do any disguise at all, because it was too easy to be seen through. He only needed to find them and tell them the truth. On the day they met Shiler, they would naturally know what to do.

From Strange's memory, Natasha did almost perfectly. She was the only one who killed Shiler. Shiler would be willing to give her this opportunity, which proved that Natasha had something unique in his heart.

Then Loki... Strange thought, Loki was very important because he could be considered Shiler's most perfect work.

There is no doubt that among all of Shiler's patients, Loki's change was the greatest. He was almost guided by Shiler step by step to become what he is today, and the past appearance was almost forgotten by people.

It wasn't until the arrival of other Lokis that everyone remembered that Asgard once had a little prince who was not valued, rather than Prince Loki, who was now powerful and almost became the deputy king of Asgard.

The original process was also good, but the atmosphere between Shiler and Loki always maintained a sense of impartiality, the kind of relationship where even if they danced together at a banquet, it would only make people suspect that they were discussing where to pour those two stomachs of bad water.

So Strange decided to contact Loki in advance. Fortunately, he was now the Supreme Sorcerer, Dormammu gave him a message, and he followed the coordinates and went.

This was a very chaotic area. It looked like locusts had just passed through. Locusts specifically referred to the Asgardian fleet. From the full sky of stellar fragments, one could see that a thrilling boarding battle had just occurred here, and Odin had thrown more than one punch.

Strange had no concept of Asgard's war history and didn't know why they had to fight here, but it didn't prevent him from finding where Thor would probably be based on his experience—the very front of the front line.

This group of reckless men shared a brain. Asgard's war style was to shout "Father of the Gods is above", and then go up and fight wildly. Even the earthworms in the ground had to be dug out and split vertically.

Sure enough, flying all the way along the fragmented stars, in the center of the chaotic energy fluctuations, Strange saw a figure carrying a hammer. At this time, he was chasing a group of blue giants. It looked like these were the victims this time.

Finding Thor was useless. Strange had to find where Thor's team was, but it shouldn't be far. Thor wouldn't allow his team to stay in the rear.

When Strange flew over Thor's head, he deliberately hid his figure, carefully not making any energy fluctuations, but the other side still instinctively looked at where Strange was. The war intuition of reckless men was really terrible.

On a complete small planet about one light-year away from Thor, Strange found his team, about seven or eight people, including three of the Warriors Three of Asgard, and Sif, but he didn't see Loki.

Strange turned seven or eight circles here and didn't find Loki. He was about to doubt whether his inference was problematic. Just when he landed on the surface of a nearby barren planet, he suddenly saw the brilliance of magic flash.

Strange turned his head and saw a handsome young man looking at him with his arms crossed.

"Caught you, damn spy."

With a swish, a flash of magic brilliance flew past Strange's scalp. Strange soared into the air, and his hands lit up with golden rings.

What's wrong with this Loki? Why did he start fighting like his brother? Was he also a reckless man before?

What Strange didn't know was that Loki's way of fighting was already considered gentle. If Thor came, the person hadn't appeared yet, and the thunder had already struck dozens of times.

Strange and Loki fought together. At this time, Strange was no longer the novice mage who had just started. Although he was still not as good as his teacher Ancient One, how many people in the universe could compare to Ancient One? Strange only learned three-tenths of her essence, and he could suppress Loki.

Strange's magic path was mainly open and close. Besides inheriting from his teacher, he was mainly rich and powerful since his debut. He never knew what it meant to save energy. Just smashing with energy could smash ordinary people into the ground, and they couldn't be dug out.

Magic brilliance flashed in Strange's eyes, and countless huge arms appeared behind him again. Each hand was holding a different kind of energy, and he bombarded Loki wildly.

Loki didn't know where this lunatic came from. Now he was alone and didn't bring any artifacts. He couldn't beat him and wanted to run.

Strange wouldn't give him this opportunity. He learned from his teacher's way of letting go to catch, deliberately revealing a flaw, letting a path of life appear in the dense energy encirclement network, but soon it disappeared again, followed by the second, the third.

Loki was cunning by nature and knew this might be a trap, so he didn't rush to run out. Just when he intended to pursue the real flaw, Strange directly buckled an energy cover down and pressed Loki there.

This kind of operation that didn't talk about martial arts made Loki glare at Strange. Strange looked him up and down and found that although his appearance hadn't changed much, the current Loki seemed much greener.

Strange felt it might be a problem of clothing. In his impression, Loki was a person who loved beauty very much. Even whether it was a male body or a female body, he wished he could hang all kinds of jewelry on every place where there was space on his body. Every day he was like that peacock opening its screen, and he had to shake everyone's eyes to count as finished.

But this Loki wore an ordinary dark green robe, and because he just fought, it was a bit dirty. He didn't wear any ornaments on his head, and a head of black hair was scattered. Even the magic wand in his hand only had two gems on it, which was simply shabby to the extreme.

Strange felt that using green to describe it was still a bit restrained, and it could be completely called miserable and down-and-out. How did Loki get into this state?

This was not to blame Strange for feeling strange. On the original timeline, when he first saw Loki, the other party had already been almost choked to death by Odin and sealed the priesthood of the main god. And Thor was demoted to Earth. He was in high spirits, and his clothing and dressing were several times more gorgeous than before, which was not comparable to the down-and-out second prince who was annoying now.

Seeing him like this, Strange couldn't bear to start. He hesitated for a moment, put away the protective cover, and then said, "First of all, I am not a spy. Secondly, there are only two princes in Asgard. Would it kill them to be better to you?" ===== CHAPTER 2692 =====
