Chapter 373: Loki Left Dumbfounded
🕑 Added 2025-09-11 03:26:41 +0000 UTCAfter Loki took Goose outside, he felt completely powerless. He actually regretted, a little bit, why he'd had a lapse in judgment and chosen to be exiled to Earth.
If Earth didn't have so many terrifying mages, Loki wouldn't have thought there was any problem but the issue was, Odin probably wouldn't have agreed to it then.
Actually, there was another reason Loki was willing to come to Earth: he wanted to see how these Earth mages had reached their current level. As one of the few mages in Asgard, Loki had practically no rivals among the younger generation. But after coming to Earth, he not only suffered setbacks but also profoundly realized that the gap between himself and these Earth mages seemed truly vast!
Of course, the significant disparity was only with Noah and a selected few, but this was enough to severely impact the incredibly arrogant Loki. Unable to defeat them, unable to compete with them, he decided to learn from them. Loki came with this very intention.
However, upon arriving, Loki sadly discovered that he seemed to genuinely be treated as an errand boy, as these mages would dump all sorts of messy tasks on him! This made Loki curse these mages internally while also feeling helpless, because in this Sanctum, there were two people who could discipline him! Although the others' magical power and level might not be as good as his, their potential was undeniable!
"What kind of devils are these Earthlings?"
And that wasn't all. After Loki had stayed here for a
while, he was horrified to discover that there was even a Flerken in this Sanctum! Dammit! Were these Earthlings really crazy? Why would they put such a dangerous creature in such an undefended place? But what increasingly shattered Loki's worldview was that he discovered this Flerken didn't seem that dangerous?
Especially when it was with that bastard Noah, it was exactly like a pet, always liking to lie on Noah's lap and sleep? Was this really a Flerken and not just a lazy orange cat? If Loki hadn't seen this orange cat named Goose swallow a desolate baby dragon whole, he probably would have genuinely believed he had mistaken the species.
After letting the orange cat loose, Loki was at a loss for what to do, bored. Cleaning wasn't something he needed to do in the magical world; if it really needed doing, one spell could handle it. Going out to buy food? Forget it, Loki couldn't bring himself to do it, and Noah probably wouldn't agree either.
So, after a morning of boredom, a somewhat plump man found Loki: "Are you very bored?"
"What do you think?" Loki rolled his eyes, but still answered honestly: "So idle every day, or being grabbed by you all to look after pets"no, to look after these little ones, do you think I could not be bored?" Loki couldn't beat Wong; that was a fact, so he was very obedient in front of Wong. And he didn't dare say anything about pets in front of Goose; he was genuinely afraid that little creature would suddenly retaliate, and then things would really get messy.
"Is that so?" Wong stroked his chin: "Coincidentally, you've been here for almost a week. Come follow me to tidy up the library."
"What?!" Loki immediately stood up, annoyed: "Tidy up the library? Are you joking?"
"What? You're unwilling?" Wong tilted his head: "If that's the case, then forget it. This was Noah's idea; he said it would be good for you. What a pity"
"Wait, you said it was Noah's idea?" Loki immediately interrupted Wong. He felt something was amiss.
Noah, as a powerful mage, was already deeply ingrained in people's minds, and Loki himself was no exception.
Such a powerful individual would never say something useless. Loki's intelligence was definitely online, although he started to appear a bit foolish whenever his family was brought up. But this didn't prevent him from carefully considering Noah's intentions. Soon, Loki thought of something, and his eyes lit up. Loki remembered Noah saying that when he went to Asgard, he thoroughly examined Asgard's library.
Now that he had come here, and Noah, after leaving him idle for a long time, suddenly made this decision, it made Loki start to ponder deeply. Most crucially, this guy named Wong said this would be good for him!
"Of course, it's Noah's idea." Wong didn't know that Loki's mind had processed so much in such a short time. He simply turned and walked towards the library: "If you want help, follow me. If not, just continue to stand here in a daze."
"Of course I want to." Loki wasn't stupid; he immediately stood up and followed Wong.
The London Sanctum had a very large collection of books, and thanks to Noah, there were also many books on elemental magic. These books were generally better than those collected by other magical organizations, though not all of them, as Noah couldn't put all his personal treasures here. But even these books were enough for many people who came to read them, including Loki.
Asgardian magic was great, no doubt, but Earth's magic was not necessarily inferior; it was an expansion of knowledge, which could be said to be an essential path for mages. Loki disdained overly basic things but was quite obsessed with these elemental magic books. Even when Wong yelled at him several times for not working, he didn't argue, but instead controlled magic to organize the library while reading a book.
Unbeknownst to them, it was already noon. Madame Heffner specifically came to tell them it was time for lunch, which finally brought Loki back to his senses, but he didn't move. He didn't care about eating lunch at all; Asgardian physique was something to be reckoned with, completely fearless.
"Loki, go call Noah for lunch." Wong didn't know what Loki was thinking; he just said it directly.
"Damn it! Can't you see I"m reading?!" Loki said, very dissatisfied: "Besides, I don't plan to eat this unclean, terrible-tasting food with you all!"
"Is that so? But we all grew up eating these things. And just a reminder, Madame Heffner is Noah's closest person, and because of her, Noah has never missed a meal." Wong calmly said while tidying up books: "Finally, I am the librarian of the London Sanctum. If you make me unhappy, you won't be allowed in here again, and what Noah says won't matter."
This was a threat, a blatant threat! But Loki could only helplessly and grudgingly accept it. He couldn't fight, and logically, they clearly weren't swayed by his words. In this situation, even with Loki's silver tongue, there was nothing he could do.
"I understand." Sighing, Loki stood up, returned the book he was just reading to its place, and then went to the laboratory to find Noah. For food made by ordinary people or mages, Loki always tried to avoid eating it as much as possible; even if it tasted good, Loki didn't want to eat too much.
Slowly walking to Noah's laboratory, Loki hadn't even had time to open the door when he suddenly felt a palpitation. This feeling was as if he was facing his father! But this was too different from his father's aura; Loki would never mistake this faint, seemingly integrated into the universe, close to the universe feeling!
"He's reached this step?" Loki thought in a daze. Although he had seen Noah's terrifying form during the battle in New York, to be honest, Noah in that state was very strong, but Loki could feel that he was not as powerful as Thanos, let alone his own father. Loki had very high standards.
Although his own strength wasn't great, as an Asgardian prince, the things he could access were truly unimaginable, especially since his father was a suffocatingly powerful being. He naturally knew what this aura represented, which made Loki's mind somewhat numb. He couldn't understand why Noah, who was clearly still a long way from this stage, could achieve this!
After much deliberation, Loki gritted his teeth and decided to go inside. Slowly pushing open the door, Loki immediately felt a different rhythm. This rhythm was so clear, and although Loki clearly sensed that many things seemed to be missing here, this power was absolutely undeniable!
"How is this possible?!" Loki stared blankly at Noah. At this moment, he was truly wondering if Noah had reached that legendary step! However, Loki quickly noticed some clues, because Noah's power was strong but not hidden, and he quickly judged Noah's current power level. The magic level Noah was currently radiating was Tier Seven in Earth's ranking system.
This level, as Noah had told him, was incomparable to his own father. But at this moment, Noah was actually radiating an aura similar to his father's power, how could Loki not be dumbfounded?
"Calm down, calm down." Loki forced himself to calm down.
At this moment, Noah seemed to have entered a very special state, with a ball of energy hovering around his body. Loki's perception was very sharp, and he immediately judged that the special rhythm was actually coming from these energies!
As these energies continuously fused and intertwined, that rhythm grew stronger and stronger, and Noah's body seemed to have been isolated"he could only be seen, but his aura couldn't be felt. But that cosmic rhythm grew stronger and stronger, and although that sense of reality became more and more obvious, this mass of power completely enveloped Noah like a magical shield, like an independent universe, with Noah standing firm within it!
"What the hell is this thing?!"
