~10 min read 1,991 words

Thorndon fiddled with his own arms: "Can you not call me that? Loki? It sounds like you're about to die, but you've prepared a huge surprise to overturn Asgard before you die..."

Loki gently squeezed his fist, repeatedly muttering in his heart "he's not my brother" ten thousand times, smiling as he said: "You've already been crowned, you must get used to anyone calling you Your Majesty, Your Majesty."

"Yes, others calling you that is fine, but you calling me that, I truly can't get used to it." Thor spread his hands, saying: "Please, I've already explained this to you, I don't intend to keep you locked up forever..."

"You can do that." Loki looked at him and said: "You have such authority and ability, and I am also doing this to avoid angering you."

Thor looked at him as if he had seen a six-legged toad.

"You said earlier that you and the World Tree had become one." Loki brought up the topic he was interested in: "Exactly how did that happen?"

"This..." Thor hesitated for a moment.

"I don't mean to interrogate you." Loki turned away to pick up a book: "If you feel you can't say it, then don't say it."

"You're still angry, aren't you?" Thor followed him and then said: "I wasn't deliberately hiding it from you, it's just that this matter is too important. If the plan fails, everyone will be killed by Darkseid, I'm a bit worried about you... Well, not telling you immediately after success was indeed my fault."

Loki seemed to be thinking about something. Thor stepped forward again and asked: "What do you think of this plan?"

"Very... bold." Loki said: "You still display your resolute strengths, Your Majesty. In making decisions, you are very decisive, and from the results, it's also good..."

"Can you stop talking like that?" Thor looked somewhat on the verge of collapse: "I said I don't intend to do anything to you, even if you almost destroyed the Nine Realms, even if you released the fire giants, even if you still plan to stir up countless disasters, I am still on your side, Loki. Can't you stop always being this passively resistant?"

"You think my attitude is passive?" Loki also felt he was unreasonable: "It's you insisting on asking my opinion, if you don't want to hear..."

Saying this, Loki took a deep breath and then put on a fake smile: "Otherwise, you go ask the Empress... I mean, Sif, her answer might be more beneficial."

"Can't you stop bringing her up every time we argue?" Thor raised his voice: "I admit, I used to do some foolish things, but those are all in the past..."

Loki realized he simply couldn't communicate with this Thor, but he wanted to clarify the specifics of the World Tree, and couldn't avoid talking to him, so he could only sigh and ask: "Then what about my answer dissatisfies you?"

"Dissatisfied where? In human terms, it seems like you're possessed by a ghost!" Thor shouted at him: "This is the first time after you learned my plan that you haven't mocked me for half an hour!"

Loki's movement paused, no, is this universe this absurd? Even when he and Thor were at their fiercest, he had never mocked Thor for half an hour, the highest record was only five minutes, and that was when they were both over a hundred years old, still little brats, and after growing up, no matter what, they would give each other face.

I thought the confrontation between my central universe self and Thor was already intense enough, but I didn't expect there to be stronger ones, what grudge and resentment do these two have?

"Alright, Loki, I know, you're still angry about me accidentally killing you before..."

"Cough cough cough cough cough!!!" Loki nearly choked to death, what did Thor just say? Did he have an auditory hallucination?

"But you also killed me back then." Thor said: "At that time you were controlling the Destroyer, you almost tore my flesh body to pieces, and at that time the gods had all disappeared, almost delaying my important matter..."

"And you also triggered Ragnarok, if I hadn't obtained the rune power, all of Asgard would have been destroyed by your hands, you even forced me to kill my grandfather, although you later died too, but we can at most be considered even, in the end I still brought you back under the pressure of the Avengers..."

"Wait a moment." Loki covered his forehead and turned away, he first lowered his head to look at himself, then raised his head to look at the entire bedroom's decoration, then turned back to size up Thor from head to toe.

Loki's gaze made Thor feel creepy, he again rubbed his own arms, asking: "What's wrong? Why aren't you speaking?"

"Nothing." Loki said: "If you really like staying here, I can change rooms—how about the dungeon?"

"No no no." Thor said: "You calm down your emotions, I'll come see you again tonight."

After Thor left, Loki couldn't help but rub his brow. Thor's plan, he doesn't evaluate, but his own plan might have been a bit too hasty.

He really didn't expect this universe's Loki to be a pure evil god, having done so many things Loki wouldn't even dare think of, but he didn't expect even more that this universe's Thor is a renowned Beagle owner across the multiverse, how can he tolerate this???

Moreover, Thor has now become a god, capable of controlling the Nine Realms, and his purpose in coming to find Loki is not to settle old scores, but to negotiate reasonably, even appearing as if "your attitude is too good, I can't get used to it."

As the saying goes, every troublesome child has a troublesome parent, but if Thor didn't indulge him, this universe's Loki wouldn't be such an evil god.

Loki compared Thor from the central universe, don't look at how Thor also indulges him, but that's only when principles aren't involved, like when the army is marching and resting, he plays a prank, tricks Thor into stepping on it, Thor returns to the starship in a sorry state, then says he fell himself.

But if Loki dared to obstruct the army's advance and delay the fighter jets, that would definitely warrant punishment, and Loki also knows very well that if Thor doesn't side with him, then absolutely no one would tolerate him, so he also doesn't dare do such things.

This universe is fine, what do you mean Loki triggered Ragnarok?

Loki let out a long sigh, logically speaking, he disguised himself as this universe's Loki, so he should act more like an evil god, but the problem is, he's already been imprisoned, so even if it's for leniency, he should be honest, right? Continuing to cause trouble isn't adding fuel to the fire? This doesn't make sense logically.

However, thinking about it, this evil god Loki not only dares to cause trouble, he even dares to accept the plan of exchanging the prince with a wildcat to run away, Loki can't help but sigh, his courage is truly fat.

Should I cause a disturbance? Loki is thinking, anyway looking at this situation, this universe's Thor won't strike him with lightning, the chance to go mad in the immortal palace is rare, to be precise, he has never dared to go mad in the immortal palace, as the saying goes, since you've come, you might as well.

Meanwhile, on the other side, Thor, who had come out of the bedroom, quickly summoned the Four Warriors.

"I think Loki has gone mad." Thor spoke, and immediately shocked the four people greatly.

Volstagg directly raised his shield, Fandral drew his long sword, Sif looked left and right, Hogan stood silently on guard.

"Where is the enemy?" Fandral looked left and right, "Is it the World Serpent, or the fire giants? He wouldn't have brought that black dragon over, would he???"

"No." Thor said: "There is no enemy, besides, what enemy could I, the current me, not handle? Relax."

Fandral was stunned for a moment, then sheathed his sword: "Sorry, just mentioning Loki makes me nervous, you sure there's nothing wrong?"

"This is exactly what I want to say." Thor gestured for the four to sit down: "Do you know what happened today?"

"You argued with him again." Sif said with a definite tone: "He thinks you want to imprison him for life, or kill him, you're desperately explaining, but he just won't listen, you two had a big argument, at least going back 500 years of old scores..."

"It should have been like that." Thor spread his hands to gesture: "But the terrifying part is, today not only did we not argue, he actually called me 'Your Majesty'!"

"What?!"

"What???"

"You misheard, right???"

"Impossible???"

The four stood up in unison, Volstagg widened his eyes and said: "He won't be dying, will he?"

"I also suspect that." Thor said: "But he looks healthy and vigorous, jumping around, not like someone who's about to die."

"Then he's just trying to trick you again." Sif said.

"Impossible." Fandral looked toward Sif and said: "You still don't know Loki's bad temper? Even if he's trying to trick, he's too lazy to put on an act, anyway Thor will always fall for it."

"Should we also start calling him Your Majesty then?" Volstagg hesitated a bit: "Otherwise we can't let Loki look down on us?"

"Don't." Thor hurried to stop them: "You don't know, that one 'Your Majesty' he shouted has left me feeling dizzy even now, you guys never used to call me 'Your Highness' either?"

"That's also true, we don't care about those empty formalities." Fandral, one hand on his hip, began to think: "I feel like you've imprisoned him too long."

Sif widened her eyes to look at her teammate, Fandral quickly added: "I'm being serious, he once overturned all of Asgard, you also didn't bear to imprison him this long, I feel he's gone crazy from imprisonment."

Sif opened her mouth, she wanted to refute, but found the facts really seem to be like this, Thor's approach to Loki is one of no recourse, causing heavenly disasters, at most just criticizing verbally, this is the first time he's imprisoned him for this long.

"I also have my own considerations." Thor said: "Now on the human side, the Revival Alliance has been established, the superheroes of the two universes have united, you say I should let him out again to cause trouble, wouldn't they beat him to death?"

"That's true." Fandral nodded and said, "But keeping him locked up like this isn't a solution either. With his temper, won't he just anger himself to death?"

"You think he might have truly softened." Sif stroked her chin and said, "You all think about it—Thor has never locked him up this long before. Maybe he's actually scared, so he's putting on a respectful act. This troublemaker is quite good at pretending when he wants to."

"That's possible." Thor sighed and said, "But seeing him like this makes me uneasy. I am his brother—how can he call me Your Majesty?"

After saying that, he sulked and plopped down onto the chair: "I also know this will definitely hurt our feelings, but I have no other choice. If he gets captured by the Rebirth Alliance, he'll be completely finished."

The others exchanged glances. Sif walked over, crossed her arms, and said: "Although I think the possibility is small, you at least need to figure out whether he's truly repentant or just faking it. Otherwise, you should first let him out, then keep an eye on him to see if he causes trouble. Anyway, you now control the Nine Realms entirely—if he causes any trouble, you can just stop him."

Thor sighed, nodded, and said: "Then there's really no other way."
