Chapter 4205

~11 min read 2,066 words

The news of Loki being arrested for destroying the Skrull hatchery made the front page of the Interstellar News Network the next morning. The interstellar society was in an uproar.

What is called "breaking ground on the head of Tai Sui"? What is called "hitting a snake at its seven inches"? What is called arrogance, what is called brazenness? Even if Loki was a notorious liar in the past, now, everyone mentions his name with a word of admiration.

That's right, Loki, who is usually best at slipping away, didn't run at all this time. Using Asgard's iconic weapon, the thunder power that everyone knows, and his status as an Asgardian Prince, he rushed into the heart of the Skrull Empire without any cover, destroyed the Skrulls' new population for the next ten-plus years, and then just stood there, waiting for people to catch him.

This can no longer be described as brazen. Even the bravest Asgardian warrior would at most fantasize about how many robots they could annihilate in a frontal battle, just like breaking the bridge of a Skrull's nose; Loki, on the other hand, used a Flying Thunder God followed by a super assassination, almost gouging out the kidney of the Skrull Empire.

Schiller sat in the tavern reading the newspaper. And whenever there is such shocking news, the tavern is the best place to discuss gossip. And just as the Cross-2 was lifted from control, the construction workers swarmed into the tavern, each with a beer, and began to chat about this matter.

In the past, when they were in the territory of the three major empires, they didn't dare to speak so freely; after all, if things went wrong, some camera would have filmed them. But being in the galaxy, there was no need to worry about the three major empires anymore, and they could talk about it at length.

And most of the views were schadenfreude. The three major empires rarely have true fanatics; for so many years, they haven't done fewer bad things in private, and no one is blind. Finally catching an opportunity to mock them severely, the interstellar society almost immediately fell into an ocean of joy.

Of course, the lingering power of the three major empires remains, and everyone only dared to be happy in private. However, the nature of Loki doing this and the final verdict are indeed very worthy of discussion.

Early the next morning, Polaris rushed down from upstairs like a rocket, shouting: "Schiller!!!!!"

"Heard you, why are you shouting so loudly?" Schiller poured a cup of honey water for Polaris and then said, "You drank so much yesterday, doesn't your head hurt this morning?"

Polaris seemed to have just reacted, her facial features wrinkled together, she waved her hand and said: "Oh my god, it would be better if you didn't mention it; the moment you mention it, I feel my head hurts a lot."

She picked up the honey water, gulped it down, wiped her mouth, sat on the bar counter, and then said: "Did you see the news? Loki did a big thing this time. Oh my god, he actually blew up the Skrull Empire's hatchery! That's their lifeline!"

"Saw it," Schiller said, "But actually, this isn't the most troublesome thing; the most troublesome thing is that he didn't run after doing bad things..."

"Yeah, I was just about to ask you," Polaris said, "Even if that place is the Skrulls' home, he shouldn't be unable to escape, right? His ability to escape is very powerful; my dad might not even be able to catch him."

"He did it on purpose," Schiller said, "If he just blew up a hatchery, with the Skrulls' technology, how much time would it take to rebuild? It's nothing more than losing some population. But if he doesn't run, the Skrulls have to catch him first, then lock him up, and then study how to judge him. The key is that they might not be able to judge him, and there's still a lot of bickering to be done."

"Oh, I see, this is just dragging out the Skrulls' time." Polaris snapped her fingers and said, "But whether this matter can be judged is not up to them. If this isn't handled well, the Skrulls and Asgard will have to fight another battle."

"Hey, by the way," Polaris seemed to have just remembered, "Loki was caught, why didn't Thor react? According to his previous temper, wouldn't he rush directly to the Skrull Empire's capital to demand someone?"

"Of course it's because the two of them agreed. If they take military means, it won't drag on for long; they must take legal procedures and sue to the Interstellar Court, so that they can involve the most energy."

"Also," Polaris nodded and said, "Then what if the Skrulls want to have a military duel with them?"

"Do you think they are stupid? Who would plan to have a military duel with Asgardians? They didn't win last time; if they lose again, this empire would truly be finished."

"Just thinking about it, you know how difficult they are," Peter walked down from upstairs and said, "If they declare war directly, they can't win; if they don't declare war, it's very embarrassing; taking legal channels is exactly what Loki wants; not taking legal channels, they don't dare to execute him privately. Loki really gave them a difficult problem. But they also deserve it."

"I'm just afraid they will retaliate in kind," Polaris said with some worry, "We can destroy their hatchery, maybe they can also... But we weren't hatched from eggs, and Earth isn't afraid of them either."

The Arkham Knight also walked downstairs, sleepy-eyed, and said: "I've been hearing you talk about aliens early in the morning, what happened to them again?"

Polaris excitedly told him the whole process of the matter, and the Arkham Knight said with some surprise: "You mean a huge empire like that, their members are oviparous?"

"That's right, but that's not strange either. Think about it, if dinosaurs had developed a civilization back then, we would be oviparous now too."

"Uh..." The Arkham Knight didn't know where to refute for a moment.

"But actually, the Skrulls should still have some backup egg sheaths," Schiller said, "It's just that the thawing procedure might be more troublesome, and they have to rebuild the hatchery. The key is that they still don't know how Loki mixed in. Before the security loopholes are solved, they probably won't dare to hatch eggs either. In short, it's troublesome."

"Now they shouldn't be in the mood to make trouble in the galaxy," Peter said, "But there is also the possibility of aggravated retaliation. What do you think? Doctor?"

"They won't give up attacking our portals. The mess Loki made just makes them stop thinking of other conspiracies; as for those jammers, we still have to find them ourselves."

Just as they were talking, they suddenly heard the sound of a large spaceship engine. Several people looked out the window and saw a huge cargo ship parked near this planet.

Not long after, a team of people walked in. The leader was Star-Lord, followed by several members of the Guardians of the Galaxy. After walking in, Star-Lord first stepped forward to shake hands with Schiller, and then sat down boldly.

"The goods are here," Star-Lord said, "We ransacked the Skrulls' armed base near Spartax, and then found a cargo ship and transported everything over."

"Has the trouble over there been resolved?"

"Pretty much, it was at a critical moment, but then something happened to their capital, and they had to withdraw their troops in a hurry. The Spartax Empire didn't get any benefits, but didn't suffer any losses either; it can be considered as having survived this disaster."

"Thank you for your hard work, are you in a hurry to use this cargo ship?"

"Not in a hurry, this is a Spartax cargo ship. We did them such a big favor, borrowing a ship is only right. You can use it as much as you want."

"Okay, Peter, help me send a message in the group; anyone who needs equipment support, come to the tavern in Centaurus. We got a batch of good weapons, just right for dealing with robots."

"Oh, by the way," Star-Lord said, "These weapons haven't been cleaned yet; I mean, the control programs are still the Skrull Empire's, and there might be backdoors inside, so you'd better find someone to clean them."

"Don't worry, when you drove the cargo ship over, Jarvis had already cleaned it from inside out." Schiller served beer to the members of the Guardians of the Galaxy and then said, "Yondu brought the Ravager team over; if you have time, go see him."

"How did he come over?" Star-Lord said with some surprise, "I don't know how many times I persuaded him to move over before, but he wouldn't do it no matter what. How did you persuade him?"

"Reasoning with him." Schiller said with a smile, "He should be studying the underground casino with the Grandmaster right now; not far from here, you can see the entrance."

Upon hearing that Yondu had also come, Star-Lord couldn't sit still either, hurriedly finished his beer, and pulled the others to run outside.

Less than half an hour after they left, another team of people rushed over; it was the Robins from Schiller's universe. They teamed up with Scarlet Spider and Riley, and the few of them got along quite well.

"It must have been you, right?" Tim looked at Schiller without blinking and said.

"What do you mean?"

"Of course, the attack on the Skrull capital. I don't believe it was all Loki's idea. Of course, I'm not saying he's a good person, but such a big commotion must have been caused by you."

"You underestimate him too much; Loki has always been good at making a big splash." Schiller began to serve dishes according to their order list and then said, "Besides, the two major empires attacked Asgard back then; it's normal for Loki to want to get back at them..."

"Then who spread the rumors about him and the Sorcerer Supreme?"

Polaris next to him spat out a mouthful of wine.

"You mean him and the Sorcerer Supreme? But they... oh, wait... it seems... hmm, I mean... actually... oh my god! They... oh my god!"

"Just a trick to escape," Schiller put away the beer glass Polaris finished, put it in the sink, and then said, "If a person's brother is the God King of Asgard, and the ambiguous object is the Sorcerer Supreme, if you were a member of the jury, how would you judge?"

"I don't think this is a trick Loki would come up with," Tim sneered and then said, "First of all, if a person's brother is the God King of Asgard, his partner could never be the Sorcerer Supreme. Thor would absolutely never agree to Loki having any relationship with Strange other than as partners, absolutely impossible. So this rumor could never have been spread by Loki."

"Wait," Polaris interrupted and then said, "Why would Thor disagree?"

"Because if Loki were hurt in this relationship, Thor might not be able to protect him, and Strange looks very much like the kind of person who would let his lover get hurt."

"Oh my god," Polaris said, "So the love and hate in our universe are not inferior either."

She said while glancing at the Arkham Knight. The Arkham Knight just took a sip of coffee and then said: "You just found out? I haven't asked you what's going on with Magneto and Professor X yet."

"That's a bit too complicated," Polaris said, "You and Batman have only known each other for a few years, but they have loved and killed each other for half their lives, and that's not even counting the time travel; I can't explain it clearly."

"Then couldn't it have been spread by Strange?" Schiller asked again, "Maybe he wanted to use this method to save Loki."

"Do you want to hear what you're saying? If the Sorcerer Supreme wanted to save someone, would he need to spread rumors?"

Just as they were talking, the tavern door was kicked open with a bang, and a figure in a red cloak arrived in an instant.

"Schiller!!!!!"
