Chapter 358: Be Careful, Loki
🕑 Added 2025-09-03 02:24:10 +0000 UTCNoah went off to rest, and he didn't need to worry about the remaining matters at all. Loki was a very clever fellow. Although he liked to use his intelligence for petty tricks, especially when he encountered his brother, he would become irrational. But this didn't mean he couldn't think.
Especially when it came to his own affairs, Loki, no matter how foolish, could snap back to reality. After some thought, Loki basically understood one thing:
Thanos had no intention of helping him. He came to Earth purely for the Tesseract. Although the Chitauri would help, after their invasion, there would be nothing left on Earth. Loki wanted to be king to prove himself, but the prerequisite for achieving all this was to ensure there were enough resources, right? Starting in hell mode wasn't impossible, but what idiot would like to do that?
Besides, Earth wasn't truly defenseless. Having met Noah and understood a series of things, Loki knew that ruling
Earth was impossible.
"Are these Chitauri being used to set me up? I'm an Asgardian prince, and Earth has a powerful mage being on par with Father. Bringing a bunch of Chitauri to cause trouble, isn't that just provoking a conflict between the two?"
The more Loki thought, the darker his thoughts became.
Unlike Noah, he didn't know the plot, so he could only speculate based on his own knowledge. And the conclusion he reached made his hands and feet turn cold, even in the heat, the kind of fear that intensified with every thought.
If his actions truly sparked an irreversible conflict, perhaps his father might make some compromises for peace upon hearing of his death, but his brother would definitely do something, and then the outcome would be impossible to predict. It might even genuinely lead to a war between Asgard and Earth! Although in Loki's eyes, Asgard was bound to win, the problem was that Earth had an existence as powerful as his father, so the result would probably only be described as a tragic victory. In such a situation, if someone else gained an advantage" Loki no longer dared to imagine. In any case, Loki had made up his mind: he absolutely could not let such a thing happen, and he absolutely could not reveal his cooperation with Thanos!
"Anyway, that guy is infamous throughout the universe.
People might not believe what he says, and if I change this situation, I might even get rid of a lot of trouble!" With his judgment in mind, Loki knew exactly what he
needed to do now.
So, when Hawkeye and the others quietly came to raid the Helicarrier, they surprisingly found their 'master" directly standing on the helipad waiting for them.
This bizarre scene left Hawkeye and the others completely stunned. Although they were controlled, in reality, only their inner 'subconscious" was made more resolute.
Although Hawkeye and the others were controlled, their other various judgment abilities were still intact. This strange scene even made them wonder if their 'master" had encountered some trouble?
However, they soon discovered that there was no trouble at all, because their 'master" had indeed changed his mind. Although this change was abrupt, the control Hawkeye and the others were under prevented them from resisting. However, perhaps the deeper the control, the stronger the resistance after it was lifted.
In any case, after Loki lifted their control, he was almost attacked by these guys. Of course, their attacks were insignificant to Loki. But this relatively normal event made Loki unconsciously worry even more. He felt he might be a little sensitive, but thinking about how he himself was accidentally made to feel unlike himself, how terrifying that was.
After Hawkeye and the others were freed from Loki's control, they were properly settled. After hearing some explanations from Fury, they understood the current situation, so they didn't go looking for trouble with Loki"in reality, it would have been useless anyway, as they were no match for him. Instead of wasting time, they might as well prepare properly. While aliens felt strange and terrifying to them, having met Loki once, their adaptability was quite good.
Moreover, Hawkeye had already met mages, so he was relatively calm.
"What's the situation with those mages?" In this calm period, Hawkeye quietly found Fury and asked about the mages.
"People who protect Earth." Because Noah was right there, and the current situation was very special, Noah simply lifted Fury's gag order, allowing him to say quite a bit.
"Do you trust them?" Hawkeye still had a pretty bad impression of mages, because the first time he met Noah, he was directly silenced, and even Coulson's guidance didn't help much.
"I won't answer that question for you." Fury shook his head: "You just need to watch and you'll understand that this world is not as simple as we imagine. Sometimes we don't have many choices, so we need to know how to compromise when necessary." Hawkeye silently watched Fury.
After a long while, he finally nodded. This gesture made Fury breathe a sigh of relief. Fury didn't want his image to collapse in front of his subordinates, but what Fury said wasn't a lie. At least when he first met Noah, he had that mindset.
However, it was only after Fury witnessed Noah's teacher eliminate aliens, coupled with a series of interactions, that Fury began to trust Noah more and more. Of course, Fury wouldn't go around proclaiming some things. First, he didn't understand Noah's intentions, and second, he didn't want too many things to become common knowledge.
While Fury was busy comforting the newly returned agents, Loki was ready to depart on the other side. Noah didn't appear to say anything about his departure, but Thor stopped Loki just before he left, clearly having many questions he needed to discuss with Loki.
"I say, do you have something else, Thor?" Loki looked at
Thor with a puzzled expression after being stopped.
"There are some things you need to tell me, Loki." Thor looked at Loki seriously: "That scepter of yours, who gave it to you?"
"You"d better not ask that question." Loki's face also slumped a bit, but he forced a smile and said, "Because this matter is very complicated, and it's not good to say it out loud. Also, when did your brain become so sharp?
Did that sorcerer tell you?"
"It wasn't Noah." Thor shook his head: "Your scepter doesn't have that much power, and you"ve been acting very strangely this time.
Besides, I don't think the Chitauri or you would know that Earth has the Tesseract. I even think you don't even know what the Tesseract is. Tell me what's going on."
Don't assume Thor is truly intellectually deficient.
In the original plot, he already sensed another mastermind behind Loki.
Unfortunately, when he tried to press the matter, Tony Stark interrupted him, and Loki kept changing the subject, so Thor still didn't know that Thanos was behind Loki. The situation was similar this time, but everything had completely deviated. Thor naturally wouldn't miss this opportunity; he wanted to have a good talk with his brother and see what kind of mess he had gotten into.
This Loki's expression was extremely awkward. He stared at Thor for a long time, then finally rubbed his nose: "Alright, I can tell you, but you need to be mentally prepared."
"That's more like it, Loki!" Thor's face immediately softened. He laughed heartily and put an arm around Loki's shoulder: "Who is it? Tell me! I want to see who treated you like this. We'll go get revenge on him if we get a chance!"
"It's Thanos. Oh, by the way, what exactly is the Tesseract?" Loki twitched his lips. He disliked Thor's actions, so he subtly stepped back and then expressionlessly spoke a name. Thor's face stiffened, and even the hand about to pat Loki's shoulder froze: "You
mean Thanos?"
"Yes," Loki nodded.
"That" that Thanos?"
"The Thanos you"re thinking of."
"Damn it! You actually teamed up with him?!"
If not for considering that Loki had changed his ways and somewhat reformed, Thor would have probably exploded. Suppressing his agitated emotions, Thor was then saddened that his brother had actually teamed up with Thanos, looking as if he had seen his cute sister lured away by a bad boy and turned into a delinquent little punk. Loki looked at Thor's emotional shift speechlessly.
Many times, Loki felt somewhat embarrassed to be with Thor.
However, it had to be said that after being subjected to Noah's mental bombardment, Loki indeed thought more deeply. For example, Thor's current gesture, which seemed speechless to him, was it not a gesture of concern? Shaking his head, Loki was unwilling to think about these things any further, and he also didn't want to say anything useless.
"It was just an accident." Loki sighed. Anyway, encountering Thanos was really not something to be happy about, neither the cause nor the result. Especially when Loki thought about how he had actually willingly fallen into the abyss of the universe, how stupid was that?!
"Accident? Damn accident!" Thor grabbed Loki: "Come back to Asgard with me. We'll tell Father about this. I think this guy came here"
"Calm down, idiot!" Loki flung Thor's hand away, then rolled his eyes: "Who told you he's here?"
"But"
"Stop blabbering! Either you take me back now and let that annoying sorcerer remember you forever, or you go fix this mess. You choose!"
"I'll be careful, Loki."
"Of course, I'm not an idiot, especially now that I know some things he didn't want me to know. Oh, by the way, what exactly is the Tesseract?"
