Chapter 146: Borrowing Loans with the Entire Earth?! This Won't Do!

~7 min read 1,342 words

, The Genie Starting from Marvel

After leaving the Asgardian Great Library, Loki came to the throne with questions.

Asgard's current operating mode had fallen into a strange situation. Frigga stayed by Odin's side every moment, leading to many things having no one to handle. Loki was also not good at management and could only delegate most of the power, letting those civil servants handle the vast majority of matters; only the most important things would be submitted to Odin here.

If this were the situation on Earth, the top leader doing this would only face a situation of being hollowed out. But Asgard was still okay, because having a big enough fist was a deterrent, and the people below dared not be too reckless.

Hmm? There is an official document?

Loki looked at the document floating in front of him, a bit surprised. This was the only document submitted to Loki in these few short days, indicating that no one in Asgard had the authority to handle this matter, nor did anyone dare to handle it.

Reaching out to open the document, it was a letter written by the Ancient One to Odin...

The Ancient One to Odin!

Loki suddenly perked up and hurried to read it.

Besides some pleasantries without much nutritional value, and some words Loki didn't quite understand, the letter mentioned one thing.

The Ancient One advised Odin that some things unexpected by everyone had happened on Earth, and the current situation was very complex, completely different from when they initially set the plan. Therefore, the Ancient One suggested that Odin modify the original plan and arranged to meet Odin outside of Earth.

The Ancient One's meaning was actually very simple: she didn't want to rashly involve Odin and Asgard in the Genie's game field. In this regard, the Ancient One was still quite principled and didn't intend to pit Odin, who had been an ally for hundreds of years.

However, in Loki's view, what was this? This was definitely great news!

This was important evidence that the Ancient One and Odin were not of one mind!

Rubbing his face, Loki became happy. Also, as the holder of the highest power on a planet, how could the Supreme Sorcerer be willing to be a lackey for other forces?

Moreover, if Hela wanted to announce her return as king to Asgard and the Nine Realms by stepping on Thor on Earth, it would inevitably cause certain damage to Earth. This was definitely something the Ancient One would not want to see, so the conflict between her and the Father King appeared!

The excited Loki rubbed his little hands, took an old official document, and wrote a reply to the Ancient One following the format.

Of course, at this time, Loki did not impersonate Odin or the identity of the Asgardian God King, but wrote the letter in the name of the current first heir.

In the letter, Loki first created an atmosphere of brotherly friendship, expressed concern about Thor's current situation, and hoped that the Ancient One could help support Thor living on Earth. Then, entering the main topic, Loki expressed that he and Asgard were worried about Hela's recovery and hoped that the Ancient One could provide some feedback in this regard.

And Loki also obscurely mentioned in the letter that Midgard was the Midgard of the Midgardians. As a god of Asgard, Loki believed that the Nine Realms should continue to move forward according to their own plans. Asgard's current interference in the Nine Realms was excessive and should not be. Asgard should respect the interests of the Nine Realms and respect the Supreme Sorcerer's leadership over the Nine Realms, rather than oppressing the Nine Realms to make sacrifices in other matters.

The words meant one thing: I, Loki, am different from Odin. I fully respect Midgard and respect the Supreme Sorcerer. We can be equal existences. As long as I successfully ascend to the throne, these promises will become Asgard's policy toward the Nine Realms, not just empty words.

Politics, you know, when winning people over, you can say anything. Whether you follow through after the results are out is another matter. If it really doesn't work, just slap yourself in the face and treat it like passing gas.

Earth, Himalayas, Kamar-Taj, the Ancient One was directing her disciples and all the mages to rebuild Kamar-Taj.

After watching the prologue of the Genie's direction, the Ancient One deeply realized a problem: the spread of the mysterious was inevitable, and sooner or later, all Earthlings would know about things on the mysterious side.

Then the problem came: the Ancient One herself taking a small number of mages to borrow loans in exchange for magical power to maintain the order of the Earth dimension was no problem. If you couldn't pay it back, you could just run away.

But if Earth humans collectively borrowed loans, the problem would be huge. Not to mention the various hidden dangers, the Ancient One didn't even dare to imagine what kind of outrageous impact this behavior would have on Earth's overall ideology. After all, in Kamar-Taj, everyone was encouraged, openly or secretly, to borrow loans and not pay them back.

This was like some villages that relied on wool-gathering from usury to get rich. One or two villages doing this was nothing; saying it out loud was still a matter of fighting violence with violence, using magic against magic, and might even attract the approval of some people. But if a country, a planet, all did this, then it would be finished.

What's more, those demon gods who were borrowed from were not easy characters to deal with. At that time, chaos would be inevitable, and Earth might even be torn apart in this situation, or even directly mortgaged by humans to some top-tier demon god.

Therefore, Earth's magic form must be reformed!

This was also the reason why the Ancient One hadn't participated in the prologue for so long. She was leading this magic reform. In the Ancient One's vision for the future, the path of borrowing loans could be a hidden shortcut, a gray route, but it absolutely could not be the mainstream.

What? You ask why the Ancient One didn't go to the future timeline to take a look and directly copy the settings of her future self?

The Ancient One wanted to, but ever since the Genie appeared, the Time Stone had become a tool that could mobilize time power and construct time loops. The ability to peek at the timeline had been greatly weakened and was basically of no use.

"Teacher, if we don't take that path in the future, do we still have to pay back the previous ones?" Mordo walked to the Ancient One's side and asked in a low voice.

"I don't forbid you from continuing to take that path, but if you intend to give it up, I will solve the problem of the creditors," the Ancient One said very domineeringly. As long as I am alive, there will be at most one big creditor in this world, and that is the one I borrowed from!

Mordo's eyes flickered. "Then what if, we continue to take this path, but want to change direction?"

"You mean dark energy, right? Whatever, the ban is lifted," the Ancient One replied indifferently.

It was forbidden before because contact with the Dark Dimension would be influenced by Dormammu, making it very easy to become a believer of Dormammu.

But now, Dormammu's derivative believers had already taken root in Hydra, and in the future, the number of people on the mysterious side would be very large. It was inevitable that some people would go astray, and the Ancient One couldn't manage it all. She only grasped the general direction now, and establishing the new magic system was the biggest "ban."

Huh? Mordo, listening to these words, was a bit confused. Looking at the Ancient One's departing back, he felt his worldview had been challenged. ===== CHAPTER 147 =====
