Chapter 2695: Hollywood Rhapsody (Part 54)

~10 min read 1,987 words

Throughout history, as long as they are biological beings with humanity, they are mostly very similar. Where there are people, there are struggles. The more power is concentrated upwards, the more concentrated it is in the hands of a few people, the more intense the struggle.

Because the bigger the cake on the upper level, the more likely they are to win big with small, even if they pay a lot, it's not a loss if they only rub a little cake residue. If they succeed, it's a wealth that pours into the sky, so why not take a risk?

Countless changes of dynasties in history are like this, which proves that this is an inevitable law of human nature, and no one can be vulgar. Asgard is not human, but they are also biological beings with humanity.

Maybe some people think that such struggles don't exist in Asgard because there are too few people and the strength gap is too large. But in fact, four or five small families separated from an ordinary family can fight until their heads are broken and blood flows. No matter how simple the interpersonal relationship in Asgard is, it is at least an interstellar empire.

Facts also prove that this kind of risk is not completely non-existent. Not to mention anything else, Loki jumping up and down in the original plot, can't say that the chaos and destruction of Asgard later have nothing to do with him, right?

The strength gap between him and Odin and Thor is more than a chasm, and it's Dark Elves, Thanos, and gems. This shows that as long as subjective initiative is full, there are plenty of ways.

This proves that the royal family of Asgard is similar to all royal families in the world, at least in terms of internal crises. Even if the population composition is simple and there are no tiger-watching royal relatives, these two sons are enough to give people a headache.

But now there is a very abnormal situation. Indeed, because Loki cannot inherit, Odin's tolerance for him is relatively high, but no matter how high it is, it is impossible to be high to this extent.

This is the front line. They are still fighting. The extent of Loki jumping up and down has completely exceeded the range that any commander can accept. But if his intelligence is normal, Loki should be questioned in a small dark room now, instead of lying on the bed brushing his phone like this.

Taking a step back, at least we have to ask clearly what is going on with that mysterious person who suddenly appeared, where he came from, what he has to do with Thor, whether it will affect the fleet's subsequent advance, and whether it will bring any danger to Asgard.

This is what any commander with a clear mind and normal intelligence should do. And like the current scene of completely ignoring it, if Odin and other generals were so careless and stupid, then no matter how strong the Asgardian Protoss were, they would have been played to death ten thousand times long ago.

But no one asked.

It's as if a pair of invisible hands pressed the skip button, and this matter just passed like this, as if it had never happened.

Shiler felt a thick sense of incongruity. How is Loki the dragon-proud sky in the novel, any unreasonable actions he makes will be forcibly smoothed out, and the people around him are also forcibly lowered in intelligence, right?

He raised his own question, and Loki showed an evil smile typical of pranks again. He bounced up from the bed and said, "I'll show you, and you'll know."

After saying that, he quietly pushed open the door of his room—he wasn't even locked in the house, there were no guards at the door, and there weren't many people on the ship, as if Loki wasn't a time bomb at all.

After slipping into the corridor, Loki looked left and right, recalled, and walked in one direction. He knocked on the door, and Heimdall opened it.

Heimdall looked him up and down and asked, "What's wrong?"

"I have something to tell you, it's about the mysterious person just now, the one Thor called the remnant of the Star-Falling Spirit race."

Heimdall frowned slightly, but still let Loki in. He looked at Loki's sitting action and said, "Is your injury okay? Do you want to call the doctor to see it again?"

"I wasn't injured... Forget it, Thor refused to give you the footage of him fighting that mysterious person, right?"

"That's right, he insisted that it was the remnant of the Star-Falling Spirit race, but I think it's not. Some magic energy on his armor is a bit like a cosmic demon, I smelled the breath of some dark existence, and that's not like the Spirit race at all."

"To tell you the truth, the reason I left the team was because I sensed that breath. You know my magic sense of smell is very sensitive. That guy is very strange, with four or five kinds of demon energy on him..."

Heimdall increased his vigilance. He sat opposite Loki and said, "Did you see his appearance? Can you judge which race it is?"

"Um..." Loki suddenly pondered, sitting in place and dragging his voice without speaking, seemingly having an answer, but unwilling to say it.

Heimdall was also an impatient person, or rather, there was no one in Asgard who wasn't impatient. He leaned his body forward, stared at Loki's eyes and said, "Since you know, say it quickly!"

"What do you want him to say?" Thor's roar appeared behind Heimdall. Heimdall turned his head and saw Thor's gloomy face.

"I said, that's the remnant of the Star-Falling Spirit race, he hates me for destroying their planet, so he came to find me, what else do you have to ask?!"

Looking at the bright warning in Thor's eyes, Heimdall was also a bit angry. He stood up and said, "You know it's not, do you know that you are reporting false military information?! If he brings any danger to the fleet..."

"If he brings any danger to the fleet, I will bear it alone! This is not the reason for you to call Loki here to inquire! You know his injury hasn't healed yet!"

"He said he wasn't injured at all!"

"It was you who told you that the doctor told you he was injured!"

"I..." Heimdall was almost choked to death. He turned his head and stared angrily at Loki, knowing that he had been tricked again, but still unwillingly said, "Thor, you are simply absurd, do you know that you are joking with Asgard's honor?! If there is any mistake..."

"There won't be any mistake." Thor interrupted Heimdall and said, "I value Asgard's honor more than you. Loki, go back to the room, don't come out."

Loki walked away slowly again.

Immediately after, a fierce quarrel broke out in the room. It was probably that Heimdall felt Thor was unreasonable, Thor believed he could bear all consequences and solve all troubles, and firmly did not allow Heimdall to question this matter again.

Shiler now understood why everyone on the fleet had this attitude. In matters involving Loki, Thor was simply like a mad dog, biting whoever he saw. No one could reason with Thor in this biased state, and could only avoid his edge.

No wonder it is said that the biggest second prince party is the eldest prince. If he were an Asgardian, he wouldn't ask either, and in the end, he would be neither inside nor outside.

Then Shiler understood again and said, "So this is the root of why you are hated. Relying on Thor's partiality, you jump up and down. They are so angry that they want to beat you, and you hide behind Thor, watching Thor beat them until their heads are full of bags. It would be strange if you were popular."

Then Shiler asked with some confusion, "Does Thor really not know that you are actually not as innocent as you look on the surface?"

"Of course he knows." Loki said, "The strange thing is that he always treats me and him as a community of interests. He thinks that maintaining my interests is maintaining his, so if I make a mistake, he doesn't think about correcting me, but thinks about how to cover it up."

Shiler shook his head and said, "Very strange psychology. I have always believed that there will never be a person in this world who treats another person as his community of interests, even between the closest parents and children. They will always have differences."

"Of course." Loki's tone suddenly lowered and said, "It's just that Thor and I haven't reached that day yet."

"What are your differences?"

"Of course it's Asgard." Loki said, "Thor is destined to coexist with Asgard. I can do anything, but once I want to truly destroy Asgard, the two of us will never be able to stand together again."

Shiler nodded, thinking of many stories in comics and movies. This pair of brothers didn't break up until the edge of Asgard's destruction, and as long as Loki showed a little intention to repent, Thor would forget all his previous mistakes and wish he could sing a song of "My door is always open" on the spot, welcoming his brother back.

Shiler didn't know how Thor grew up like this. This couldn't be explained by simple guilt and compensation psychology. It was more like naturally treating Loki as a part of himself. Blood relationship and family relationship are really wonderful.

"However..." Loki showed a cunning smile again and said, "The me at this point in time originally could only rely on Thor, but now it's not necessarily."

"You mean Shi Difen?"

"Shi Difen has always been a very extreme person." Loki said, "The things he determines won't change easily, just like he now thinks I'm being bullied, then everyone in Asgard is a sinner, and he will try every means to change all this."

"Do you think your brother's goodness to you has a possessive component?" Shiler pointed out the key and said, "You want to test whether this goodness is exclusive? Because actually, you are still struggling with whose feelings for each other are higher."

"Shut up, Doctor!" Loki gritted his teeth and said, "I will never believe your ghost talk that you don't have mind reading!"

"I really don't." Shiler's tone carried a gloating smile and said, "Actually, I am also very curious. The more intense people's feelings are, the harder it is to avoid being extreme. The more extreme, the harder it is to separate from keywords like control, possession, and exclusivity."

"From common sense, Thor's feelings for you are intense to this extent, so it's impossible not to have a tendency to possess. Once there is a competitor, the development of the situation may become very difficult to control. Are you sure you want to try?"

"Don't worry, I have backed up the original timeline. What we are in now is equivalent to a tributary of time." Loki grinned and said, "Since the Supreme Sorcerer has stolen from the guard and traveled through time himself, if the timeline is broken, isn't he the ready-made scapegoat?"

Shiler also laughed and said, "I can't wait to hear the roar of that black one-eyed dragon. Giving Shi Difen a lesson is not too much, right?"

Stark, who was reading here, looked up at Strange opposite with some sympathy. He now knew why Strange's face was so ugly. Nick Fury, not to mention anything else, still didn't lose his old profession of scolding people.

But why, Stark looked at Loki next to him again, thinking, as the culprit, why is your face so ugly? ===== CHAPTER 2696 =====
