Chapter 640: I Take Not Finding Tomorrow as the Price

"..............."

Regarding the current double-level reversal, Loki was silent for a moment.

He lowered his head, his disheveled hair covering his face, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Then he burst into laughter again.

"Hahaha!"

He lifted his head, pointing at Yu Lin, his pale face full of smug radiance.

"I had long anticipated that you would anticipate that I anticipated what you would do!"

"So you were fooled by me again!"

As the words fell, the Throne exploded.

It didn't crack slowly; it burst from within, like an egg crushed underfoot!

Fragments sprayed in all directions, the pure white space began to collapse, cracks spreading from the Throne outward like a dense spiderweb!

Loki's form also shattered, starting from his feet, cracking like porcelain, the fragments floating in the air without falling.

Then everything began to reassemble!

Space twisted violently, the scenes switching wildly!

They stood on a high mountain, a bottomless abyss beneath their feet, wind pouring in from all sides.

The next second, they stood by the sea, huge waves slamming the rocks, the spray salty on their faces!

The next second, they stood before the Golden Palace of Asgard, the colonnades gleaming with Golden Light under the sun, Silver Vine Flowers sprouting from the cracks of the stone steps!

The next second, they stood on a modern city's street, Neihong lights flickering overhead, cars whizzing past them!

The next second, they stood in a more ancient era, the earth still barren, no vegetation, no buildings, only gray rocks and black soil!

Until.

The scene finally stopped.

They stood on a plain of gray sand and stone, low-hanging clouds, flames burning in the distance, massive waves rolling, stars falling.

The air was filled with the scent of blood and char.

Twilight of the Gods battlefield!!

Loki's laughter came from all directions, with no source, no direction.

"Yu Lin!"

"I fooled you! I didn't do anything!"

"Yu Lin, keep busy! Hahaha!"

The laughter grew farther, lighter, finally dissipating into the wind.

But.

Ahead, on the Twilight of the Gods battlefield, a Loki was dueling Heimdall.

That Loki wore tattered robes, his hair a mess, his face covered in scars.

He brandished a short blade, thrusting at Heimdall, who sidestepped, his golden sword sweeping across.

Neither of them noticed the two spectators on this side.

Yu Lin watched the scene, tugging at his mouth corner.

"You're invincible," he said, turning his head toward Haila: "Shall we go?"

Haila nodded: "Your call."

Yu Lin stepped toward the battlefield.

Haila followed behind him. They passed the warring Gods, the fallen heroic warriors, the ruins consumed by flame.

No one saw them, no one avoided them, no one noticed their presence.

They moved like two gusts of wind, crossing the battlefield.

The two kept walking.

Until they reached Asgard, stood before the palace gates, passed the fallen colonnades and shattered dome, and arrived before Aoding's Supreme Throne.

The Throne still stood there.

"Hmm."

Yu Lin raised his hand and slapped outward.

The Supreme Throne shattered, fragments spraying, turning in the air into tiny Light Dots that vanished!

Then, he waved toward the center of those fragments and smiled:

"Hi."

Deep within the space, Loki sat in a void.

Loki's true form had actually been hidden inside the Supreme Throne all along, secretly observing Yu Lin, using the Throne's concealment and his Deception Law.............

He sat deep in the space, watching the outside situation.

Although he couldn't observe Yu Lin directly, he had ways to watch from other angles!

"Yu Lin, I don't believe you can find me."

He whispered, a smile at his mouth. "I've borrowed power from my future self; this time, I will win—"

Bang!

A huge sound roared from behind!

Loki's grin froze on his face. He turned his head.

Yu Lin stood before him, his hand still in the slapping pose, palm pressed against the barrier woven by the Deception Law.

The barrier trembled, cracks spreading from his palm outward like fissures on ice.

Yu Lin waved at him:

"Hi."

Loki:................

"How did you find me?"

"This is impossible!"

Looking at the utterly astonished Loki.

Yu Lin's face showed a wicked smile like Loki's, and he replied:

"I traded the inability to find you tomorrow for the ability to find you today."

Loki:..................

"You're cheating!"

"I........."

Yu Lin waved his hand to interrupt him: "All right, all right."

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"You really just want to mess with me?"

Upon hearing that.

Loki sighed: "It's not entirely that."

"Do you know that my future self replaced Aoding and became the God King?"

"Originally my ending wasn't like this; because of your arrival, the future is full of uncertainty."

"In the end, all that uncertainty turned into certainty."

"Although I'm willing, I still feel a bit resentful, after all it feels like I'm being forced!"

"And to walk this path, some conditions are needed to achieve the final goal.............."

"For example."

He looked at Yu Lin and gave a bitter smile:

"I chose to successfully deceive you once in exchange for a chance to reach the summit!"

"It's just a shame.......... now it seems there's no chance."

"I'll just honestly be my God King."

He let out a long sigh.

Yu Lin listened, instantly feeling utterly amused, and rubbed his forehead: "You really are opposing me."

"Forget it."

"Wait until later to give you a chance."

"So now, can we call it off?"

Seeing that the situation is lost,

Loki could only rise helplessly.

"All right, all right."

Loki stood up, he raised his hand and the Deception Law spread from his palm like rippling water.

The false scenery outside peeled away layer by layer; mountains, seas, Asgard............. all turned into fragments and scattered.

The Twilight of the Gods battlefield retreated into the mural; the mural retreated onto the wall of the ruins; the ruins retreated deep into the forest.

Everything returned to normal.

Yu Lin and Haila stood in front of the Wooden House of the Enna Family.

Loki walked past them toward the setting sun.

Yu Lin glanced; Loki walked under the twilight, his silhouette growing farther and fainter.

As if having experienced twilight.

Only he.

"After all that, I still couldn't deceive you—how boring."

His voice drifted from ahead, carrying that usual laziness.

"I'm leaving."

Yu Lin watched him walk away until he disappeared, then turned his head to look at Haila.

"If you're free later, pay more attention to your father."

"This guy is just a tsundere."

Haila watched the direction Loki disappeared, silent for a moment.

"Fine. I'm leaving too."

She stepped forward, one step out, her figure merging into the air and disappearing.

Yu Lin turned around, just about to head for the wooden house.

Loki's voice sounded in his ear, soft, with a laugh.

"Those words just now were also deceiving you."

"Nothing can force me; only whether I want to, and my Path of the God King isn't like that!"

"Yu Lin, you believed me, right? Hahaha."

Yu Lin's steps paused.

He stood at the doorway, hand on the door panel, not turning back.

The night wind blew in, carrying the scent of the distant forest and the smell of earth.

He smiled slightly: "Laid out so much..........."

"This time, I really got fooled by you, ah, this..........."

"I fooled you! My Power of the God King is like this!"

"............. Loki, you wait for me!"
