Chapter 322

Loki's gender is fluid?

It doesn't matter, Hela's sexual orientation is also fluid.

Originally, Hela was just chasing for fun. Anyway, she was idle alone in the Underworld, and it was quite interesting to chase this little prince of Asgard, which was a kind of alternative revenge on Odin.

But as soon as Loki changed, Hela's anger came up.

Don't forget, Hela is also from an orthodox Asgardian background. In her view, any Asgardian male is extremely repulsive to turning into a woman. Hela has also learned a lot about that deep-rooted chauvinism.

She didn't know Loki's weird situation in Asgard and his very subtle psychology, so in Hela's view, Loki's move was simply saying: I would rather eat shit than go to bed with you.

This is simply denying Hela's personal charm and attraction in its entirety. No woman can take this provocation, let alone the once incomparably proud Princess of Asgard. So, Hela was angry.

You turned into a woman? It doesn't matter, I can turn into a man.

So, when the girl Loki met Hela again, she found that the opposite was no longer a sexy woman in a cloak, but a male Underworld King Hela wearing dark green armor, holding a long spear, and commanding an army of skeletons...

Although it is a bit infringing on Hades, Hela doesn't care at all. Hela, who has been blinded by anger, just wants to kill Loki.

"An angry Lord of the Underworld will bring huge trouble." Loki sat on the sofa in the reception room and said helplessly: "That will no longer be the small trouble before. If he is caught by him, I will be dead..."

Strange was speechless and said: "You really don't have the qualifications to say that Thor causes trouble every day. You don't make a sound, but you make a blockbuster!"

"Then how do you plan to avoid the hunt?" Peter asked.

Loki's tone was very helpless: "I have no way, I can only leave Earth with the help of the divine power in my body, looking for a place to avoid Hela's hunt..."

"The light divine power Thor put in my body has a natural guiding effect, which will guide me to the place where the death power of the Nine Realms is the thinnest. Here, it will not be invaded by Hela."

"And the place where the death power is the thinnest is the place where the life power is the most concentrated. Just like this, I came to the vicinity of the World Tree..."

"The World Tree is the existence that holds up the Nine Realms. It is more like an abstract concept, not a tree, and has no concrete image, but there is indeed a place called the core of the World Tree..."

"There, there is a giant tree embodied by concepts. I followed the guidance of light power to come under the tree. After arriving there, I understood that this is a place Hela can never invade."

Loki sighed again and said: "But you also know that I can't be trapped there forever. Even if I can hide for a while, I can't hide for a lifetime."

"Initial Evolution"

"When I approached the World Tree, I found that besides the Nine Realms supported by its branches, there was another new branch, where incomparable life and vitality were condensed. I knew that it should be able to help me resist Hela, so I broke off that new branch..."

"Wait!" Strange interrupted him and said: "You mean, you broke off a branch of a giant tree that supports the Nine Realms???"

"My God! Why didn't Odin hack you to death with a thunderbolt?! Aren't you afraid that the Nine Realms will collapse?!!!"

Loki glanced at Strange and said: "I am not an apprentice like you who has only been studying magic for a few days. I am very sure that the new branch is independent of the Nine Realms. Even if it is broken off by me, it will not have any impact on the structure of the universe."

"Then why do you say you poked a big disaster?" Steve asked with some confusion: "The only thing that can be called causing trouble is this, right?"

"After all, you and Hela didn't really happen anything, and he didn't really invade Earth. Even if you played a chase, it doesn't count as anything for the whole universe, right?"

"This is what I'm going to say next. Just after I broke off that new branch, the development of things exceeded my imagination..."

In a mysterious space filled with white fog, a towering giant tree rose from the ground, and the boundless canopy occupied the sky of the entire space. Countless branches were drawn, and each leaf in it was a tiny universe. This is the incarnation of the World Tree.

There was a green grassland at the roots of the giant tree, and there were springs and lakes on one side of the giant tree. The black-haired girl reached out and broke off one of the branches full of life power.

Suddenly, this branch flew out of the girl's hand. After a burst of white light, a handsome man in a white robe appeared in front of Loki.

His whole person was shrouded in hazy brilliance. He performed an ancient Asgardian ritual to Loki and said: "Hello, I am Baldur, the God of Light. You woke me up, is there anything?"... Wait!"

The person who called himself Baldur suddenly walked closer for two steps, staring at Loki, his tone was a bit confused: "... Familiar power, are you that new God of Light?"

His originally somewhat cold and distant expression suddenly became soft. The look in his eyes looking at Loki also carried a tenderness and love that Loki could not understand.

Loki didn't understand who he was at all. Just when she wanted to open her mouth to ask, Baldur stared at her and sighed: "... I didn't expect that the new king who recast the power of light would be the little princess of Asgard..."

"Have you heard my name? Your Highness?"

Loki shook her head. Baldur let out another sigh that was almost non-existent. He said: "I am your brother, Odin's true eldest son, and also the former God of Light..."

"However, I am not Odin's biological son, but a new branch he broke off from the World Tree."

Baldur's tone carried the tone of ancient Asgardian language. His tone was ups and downs, like reading a gorgeous epic.

"On the day the great Lord of Asgard took over the throne, he made a promise to his beautiful fiancée. On the day they became husband and wife, he would break off a new branch from the highest tree in the world as a gift to celebrate their new marriage..."

"On the day they held their wedding, Odin came under the World Tree and made a wish to the World Tree, hoping that it could grow a new branch as a gift for him to send to the Queen. The World Tree satisfied him, so I was born..."

"He broke me off from the World Tree, decorated it with nine beautiful flowers grown in Asgard into a wreath, and wore it on the Queen's head, symbolizing their unwavering love and the responsibility and honor of jointly ruling Asgard..."

"The Queen was very moved. She said to the God King, 'This wreath condenses the wishes of Asgardians for love, it should be our first child'. So, Baldur was born from the new branch of the World Tree and became the eldest son of the God King..."

"I am the incarnation of the World Tree's life and vitality, representing the joy of spring and rebirth. So, I became the God of Light of Asgard, in charge of all light and rebirth."

Speaking of this, Baldur's tone gradually lowered, like a cheerful piece of music moving towards the final chapter.

"Odin once promised me that he would bring vitality to every corner of the universe, let the branches of the World Tree take root and sprout in the Nine Realms, and let all life here have spring."

"But with more and more wars in Asgard, what it brought was not vitality, but destruction. The vitality became less and less, but the power of destruction became more and more. That power was constantly eroding me, making me weak..."

"The Queen was very sad about this, because she foresaw that the day Asgard was crowned in the entire universe was the day I died."

"My weakness and the Queen's tears made Odin begin to waver. He began to reflect on the meaning of this war and destruction, so he stopped the conquest and intended to rule the Nine Realms by peaceful means..."

"But he still failed to stop the arrival of the last war."

"Hela, that is, my sister, the Princess of Asgard, she has lost her mind in the continuous conquest, believing that destruction is the only answer in the universe..."

"She broke out in a fierce war with Odin, and the destructive power of this war became the last straw that crushed me. I lost all my power, turned back into the branches of the World Tree, and returned to my origin."

"The God King and the Queen were incomparably sad. They could not explain to everyone in Asgard where their eldest son and successor, who was full of expectations, had gone. So, they suppressed Hela and erased my existence."

"Only some people who were not affected by the divine power of the God King Odin still remembered my existence, and you... another princess of Asgard after Hela, you control the power completely opposite to your sister, which is a new kind of light power."

"On the World Tree, I was briefly affected by the breath of this power, and the moment this light power truly touched me, I was awakened again."

"Your Highness, those who hold the power of light must be the new king of Asgard."

"In the past, I was the possessor of the power of light, so I would be the successor to the throne, and now, you have a brand new power of light, then you will be the next God King..."

Loki looked at Baldur's eyes full of tenderness and love. At this moment, she suddenly felt a sense of destiny, as if everything was a coincidence arranged.

Once, Odin came to the World Tree and broke off a new branch. In the vibrant Asgard, Baldur became the eldest prince and successor, sending vitality to the Nine Realms.

Hela, who was born next, became the culprit who killed her brother. She became the opposite of life and vitality, representing death and destruction.

And now, Thor, who mastered the new light power, became the well-deserved successor of Asgard.

And she, because of a series of coincidences, became a princess. Then, is she also going to carry the power of destruction and death to kill her brother?

Why does everything look like a destined reincarnation?

Why is it that every time there is a vacancy in this story, there will be a series of coincidences that push a suitable person to this position?

Loki thought, is constant rebirth and destruction really an unavoidable fate of Asgard?

Just as Loki was thinking about this question, Shiler spoke to interrupt her. Shiler asked: "So, what exactly did you cause?"

Loki said slowly: "Baldur discovered the death breath Hela left on me, he thought Hela was going to kill me, so..."

The four people sitting on the sofa looked at Loki together. Loki said with a very stiff tone: "The God of Light and the God of Death, because of me... went to war."
