In the mage's sanctuary in New York, Loki was feeling the power of the Cosmic Cube in his hand.
He looked cautious and frowned slightly.
There was still a scornful smile on his face.
Even though the person standing in front of him at this time is his extremely beloved mother.
“Loki, you are treading on a dangerous path.”
Frigga's voice was trembling, as if she was afraid that if she spoke a little louder, Loki would be frightened and open the dangerous box.
The Cosmic Cube is just the shell of a gem, although it also possesses powerful and almost unbelievable power.
But that is only part of the gem after all.
Any contempt for the unknown will bring about bad consequences. This is a truth that every powerful mage will understand on the road to seeking "power".
And those who never learn to fear the unknown, most of them become dolls in the hands of death, forever losing the qualification to continue exploring the powerful.
“Mother, you never told me that I was supposed to be the child of a frost giant.
But it doesn’t matter, I don’t seem to care about it that much now.”
Loki smiled, but made no move or thought to step forward and hug his mother.
Those who enjoy playing pranks are naturally wary of others.
Perhaps what he was guarding against was not malice, but Loki would still use malice to infer other people.
No matter how close or distant the relationship is, he has long been accustomed to this.
Of course, it may be that you are confident.
Only those who are full of love will be tolerant, most of the time.
"Loki, put down that dangerous thing in your hand first, and I will tell you everything you want to know, as long as I can give the answer."
Frigga's voice continued to tremble, as if it was filled with some inexplicable compassion.
Looking at his mother's behavior, Loki's expression became a little strange.
Have you been pitied?
Loki felt somewhat dissatisfied in his heart.
In the past years, both Odin and Frigga have always had some differences in their treatment of him and Thor.
Every time Thor makes a fool of himself, his father and mother will try their best to tolerate him.
Loki, who made no mistakes, seemed to be a transparent person.
Perhaps...it's better to make a mistake and be the center of attention than to be ignored like this?
Loki didn’t know when he had this idea, but it seemed a bit late to talk about it now.
“Mother, I want to know, if I leave you forever, how long will you miss me? One thousand years, or two thousand years? Or until the end of the world, the moment when time turns to ashes?”
Loki asked, his expression a little erratic.
The voice also became hollow.
Loki's body is no longer empty, but has an indescribable aura, as if he is hesitating about what choice to make at the most dangerous moment about the future.
“Loki…”
Frigga's expression finally changed at this time, and she looked at the son she was most worried about with a look of disbelief.
Thor has matured, and she finally let go of her worries during this period of observation.
Although Frigga would also feel sad for Tyr's passing, she had no regrets at all.
There are all kinds of prophecies among the Asa clan, which are things that the king of the gods obtained after leveraging a little bit of power over fate.
This practice did not start with Odin, it was even before Kur, even before Bor.①
So the Aesir will not feel sad about death most of the time, because most of them have already made such preparations.
But correspondingly, their love will only become stronger before the fateful day comes.
It is even more elusive.
“Mother, you were once a powerful mage who competed for the title of Supreme Mage, so what do you understand in everything that the world shows?
Is it true that the most powerful spell is ‘love’? Or are you just succumbing to Teacher Gu Yi’s more powerful spell?”
Loki’s words were not mocking, but they were ridiculing.
Loki is very relaxed now.
Even the hand holding the Rubik's Cube was slowly brought over.
He was not nervous at all.
Don’t even care at all.
Just like what is in his hand is a worthless tea cup, he will not destroy it deliberately, but he will not pay much attention to it either.
“Loki, have you come this far?”
Frigga had a hint of surprise on her face.
But he quickly returned to his usual self.
Loki has become stronger, which is worthy of celebration. But this also means that Loki will bear a more important burden, getting closer to the moment that is destined to end.
“I seem to hear another voice saying that as long as I master one magic, all the magic in the world will become a toy in my hands. But I don’t trust that voice, but can I trust you? Mother?”
Loki emphasized the word "mother", but no matter how solemn Loki looked, there was a sense of nonchalance.
Perhaps he can no longer free himself from such an inherent impression.
And not many people will care about all this.
But the Cosmic Cube in his hand emitted a dazzling light at this moment, and Frigga wanted to stop it, but she could do nothing.
Loki is no less than her, and as a mother, she cannot stop her son in dangerous ways.
Loki is no longer a child. To be as powerful as he is now, Loki has grown up too much and is no longer the smart and mischievous child that Frigga faced with a smile.
Frigga only hesitated for a moment, and then a kind smile appeared on her face.
She believed that her son already had a plan, and she also believed that Loki would not step into a dirty river at such a critical time.
…
In the SHIELD conference room, after Nick Fury shouted, everyone looked at him.
Constantine curled his lips, he was not interested in Nick Fury at all.
Perhaps this is a guy who deserves respect, but his behavior is not very popular.
Even Constantine, a guy who has no bottom line, doesn’t think much of Nick Fury’s actions.
"who are you?"
Rumlow shook his head and looked at Nick Fury in front of him.
He didn’t know that Nick Fury’s real body looked like this, so it was only natural for him to ask such a question.
Rumlow asked the question that many people wanted to ask, but he was the only one in this place who would ask such a thing without any scruples.
The other agents had more or less guessed Nick Fury's identity, so naturally they would not feel uncomfortable asking their superiors.
“I’m just a veteran left after the war in that guy’s mouth. Of course, I am also Nick Fury.”
Nick Fury walked directly to the chair of the meeting and supported his upper body with his hands.
A sharp light flashed through his one eye, and he looked a little dazzling at this moment.
Occupying a favorable position can better control the development of the next situation.
Just when Nick Fury finally figured out what he was going to say next, the alarm device on his body that was always monitoring the energy fluctuations of the Cosmic Cube made a piercing beep!
Nick Fury's face turned dark in an instant, as if he was his own life substitute.
During this period, he was so busy that his feet never touched the ground!
“Fuck Fuck!”
Nick Fury said his catchphrase, and then began to set up his work amidst the strange looks of everyone present.
According to his experience, when the Cosmic Cube is activated, it only means that a world-destroying Titan has taken action!
Now is not the time to continue talking about dangers that have not yet occurred, but the time to prepare for battle to protect countless ordinary people on this planet!
