Chapter 5004: Advance to Progress York Advance (Forty)
Those green pupils gradually became unfocused, Loki was losing his vitality. Thor's violent divine power completely scattered his soul, even his bodily form could no longer be maintained, gradually disappearing, returning to the World Tree.
Loki, standing by the door, was stunned. He watched with his own eyes as Thor killed his own brother, a horrifying scene that had never appeared even in his nightmares. The shock response caused his power to go berserk, even tearing a rift in the spatial barrier controlled by Thor.
"Stop him!!!" Natasha's angry shout, rushing out, rang in everyone's ears.
But Thor seemed to have been stimulated by something, he looked toward Loki by the door and said: "Again your conspiracy, right? Want to stimulate me with fake death?! Loki, you are truly incorrigible!"
The entire Nine Realms pressed toward Loki, and the dazed Loki couldn't ascend in time, his face instantly turned pale. Until lightning flashed, a long spear wrapped in violent Lei Ting power shot straight at Thor's face.
At that moment, it seemed as if time had slowed. The lightning-flashing spear enlarged in Thor's eyes filled with rage. Captain America, Spider-Man, Black Widow, Superman, Wonder Woman and other superheroes gradually turned horrified.
That unmatched violent Lei Ting almost broke through the World Tree's blockade, as if it wanted to pierce the entire universe. The spatial barrier trembled more and more violently, as if it would shatter in an instant.
But just as the spear's tip was about to touch Thor's forehead, the Lei Ting dissipated, all things fell silent. That icy killing intent and immense power shook Thor awake, he shook his head and looked at Loki lying on the ground.
Another Thor stood before Loki, and Sif reached out to help Loki up. Loki also shook his head, he tightly gripped Sif's arm, striving to calm himself down.
"This is not your brother." King Thor said, "You have mistaken the person."
The Thor of this universe was somewhat bewildered. Loki took a deep breath and said: "I am Loki of the central universe, I told you before, I and your brother made a deal, we swapped identities, why didn't you notice?"
Thor opened his mouth, actually he had noticed. He noticed this Loki was too gentle, completely unlike his brother, but because the former Loki had too many evil deeds, he often pretended to be gentle to deceive him, he thought this was just another prank.
Or perhaps he was also overly careless, because he had become the true god of the Nine Realms, he felt nothing could escape his eyes, even knowing there were visitors from other universes, he had not considered this possibility.
"Alright." He straightened his body, "Then where is my dear brother?"
He turned his head, looking at the place where Loki had died. And the Loki supported by Sif trembled even more: "You killed him."
"That's impossible." Thor turned to look at him and said, "That was probably just his avatar, just to provoke me, make me go berserk at the Revival Alliance headquarters, or make me hurt you, ruin our universe's reputation."
Loki opened his mouth, he could not deny this possibility either. And King Thor asked: "You can control the Nine Realms, can't you feel where he is?"
"He is not in the Nine Realms, either he left, or he found a way to hide." Thor sighed deeply, "I admit I was somewhat impulsive, but if he were really this easy to kill, then he wouldn't be Loki."
"You two madmen!" Loki gritted his teeth and cursed, "You don't even care about killing each other?! Are you really brothers?!"
Loki was somewhat embarrassed, because it was obvious, only he had been hurt in this matter. These two lunatics kept killing each other, not taking it seriously, only he was frightened badly.
But obviously the facts were not like that, for afterward, Carter running down from upstairs hit everyone like a train.
"You damn bastards, what the hell are you doing?! Carter's roar was deafening, "You! I don't care what grudge you have with your brother, don't come here causing trouble! You! Figure out which universe you're from, stop meddling here! And you! Put away that broken gun, this is not your place to run wild!!!"
"He frightened my brother." King Thor said, "Is this how you treat guests?"
"Then I ask you, he was looking for his brother, why did your brother come here?" Carter pointed directly at the heart of the matter, "If he weren't idle and insisted on swapping identities, how would this mess have happened?!"
"Sarah." Captain America hurried forward, "This is just a misunderstanding, also no serious consequences, today isn't there still other guests' visiting activities? You go attend to your business first."
"Steve Rogers!" Carter coldly shouted Captain America's full name, "Just because you only know how to smooth things over, Richards will do that kind of thing. This time you still want to muddy the waters, then the final result won't be much better than last time!"
Captain America opened his mouth, for a moment he didn't know how to rebut, he could only say: "But we can't just expel everyone because of such an accidental event. Because of Reed, we expelled the mad scientists from Earth, now do we have to expel all Asgardians and even aliens? This won't work."
"This is not a reason to let them loose." Carter said, "If expulsion doesn't work, then manage, at least make them know they can't act recklessly!"
"I will talk to them." Captain America said, "You go attend to your business first, or is receiving guests more important."
Carter gave him a deep look, turned and left. Captain America watched her back, fell silent for a while, then turned to these Asgardians and said: "No matter what the truth is, no one can cause trouble at the Revival Alliance headquarters. If it's an internal Asgardian problem, please solve it yourselves, this time we won't pursue it, next time we might not be so lenient."
"I still want to ask you." Thor looked at Loki and said, "Why did you run to the Revival Alliance? If you had directly gone to find your brother, I would just know you aren't my brother."
"You overestimate your own emotional control ability." Loki said, "I lured you to my brother's place, it would only make you two fight, then destroy Progress York City."
Captain America gripped his shield tightly, he immediately said: "You did the right thing. Next time if anything happens, come find us immediately for mediation, definitely don't fight yourselves."
His words were slightly contradictory front to back, but actually there was no problem, causing trouble without distinguishing right from wrong is not allowed, coming to mediate is of course the best solution.
"I know." Loki said, "This time is my fault, I didn't expect our two universes to be so different, otherwise I wouldn't have thought of this impersonation plan."
"You go back first." King Thor said, "Sif, first send Loki back, I have matters to discuss with my isotope."
Sif nodded, supported Loki and left. Thor widened his eyes, he had never in his life seen a remorseful Loki, Loki's stubborn mouth, even if the fire giants burned all of Asgard, the only thing left would be Loki's mouth.
Moreover, letting Sif send Loki back, would the two really not fight? Thor was genuinely curious, how did the central universe's Thor manage these two.
"What do you want to talk to me about?" He looked at King Thor and asked.
"I want to suggest you see a psychologist." King Thor looked at him and said, "Have you noticed your emotions are especially unstable?"
"Where is it unstable?"
"Why did you attack Loki?"
"I didn't know that was your brother……"
"Even if it was your brother, why did you attack him?"
"He wanted to attack me first." Thor explained, "I thought it was my brother, he inexplicably ran to the World Tree's root system, even wanted to touch the World Tree's roots, I and the World Tree are symbiotic, threatening the World Tree is threatening me, I could only strike first."
"You are too irrational." King Thor said, "If you observed a bit more carefully, you would find, Loki's before and after changes are great, investigating a bit would reveal the person swap. Even if you didn't notice, you kept him confined, he also had no chance to tamper, even touching the World Tree's roots wouldn't necessarily harm you, why rush to kill him?"
"You don't understand him at all." Thor shook off his hand, turned away and said, "I simply cannot control him, even if I confined him, he might run out, find a new power, completely destroy everything I now possess."
"Even if you have already become the true god of the Nine Realms?"
"True god? If I truly were a god, how would I not know they swapped identities. How did your brother enter Loki's bedroom, how did my brother leave, I can't even control these……"
King Thor gazed at this face identical to his own, sighed slowly and said: "Odin never told you, all divine powers need firm belief as support, did he?"
"He did say so." Thor also looked at his other self, "But I don't know what belief I have, I have never truly controlled anything, my life, emotions, Asgard, the Nine Realms, and Loki, everything I've experienced is beyond my expectation."
"Do you think you can control everything?" Thor countered, "Why don't you think the current situation is your brother's doing? If he hadn't devised this plan, if he hadn't done what he did under the World Tree's roots, I wouldn't have gone mad rushing here, why don't you think this is his conspiracy?"
"I only know, he would absolutely not devise a conspiracy with the element of Thor killing Loki." King Thor said, "You frightened him badly."
"What if he is pretending?" Thor asked, "He is the god of lies and deceit, he can disguise himself as anything, all his fear and helplessness are just to confuse you."
"Then what is the purpose?" King Thor asked.
"No purpose needed, he just likes to fool you." Thor said, "He likes to play everyone in the palm of his hand, his true feelings toward you cannot conceal his vicious nature."
"Then why did you bring him back?"
"He always comes back." Thor shifted his gaze, surveyed the surroundings, "As long as I am alive, he will appear like a curse, endlessly, bringing lies and disasters. I have killed him several times, but he never truly dies."
"Sometimes I wonder if he really exists, or perhaps everything is my doing, and he is merely my imagined illusion to escape reality, the dark side I keep fleeing from."
King Thor said no more, he took out a business card and slipped it into Thor's pocket: "Go see a doctor."
Having said that, he left.
