Chapter 235: God of Fraud
Chaos, darkness, coldness, these are all Thor's feelings. After a pain that tore his body apart, he woke up. When he found himself regaining consciousness, he was overwhelmed by the horrible despair and pain.
Thor was lying on a wasteland. He tried to open his eyes. There was a hazy white mist in front of him, and then there was a faint halo. He felt his lips were chapped, his whole body was in pain, and there was a strong smell of blood between his breaths.
Is Loki dead?
Loki... is dead.
He saw with his own eyes that Loki was hit by the light of the Rainbow Bridge and then returned to the World Tree.
He also saw with his own eyes that his priesthood was taken away, which meant that Loki's body was indeed destroyed, and the last action he made before his death was to infuse his priesthood and divine power into himself.
Thor lay there, feeling a cluster of blazing flames beating in his chest. He didn't know whether it was Loki's priesthood or from his anger.
What killed Loki was the Rainbow Bridge, Asgard's most powerful weapon.
And the one who manipulated him was Heimdall.
Thinking of this fact, Thor felt that his soul was in pain as if it was about to break apart.
He knew very well that Heimdall's most important job was to guard the Rainbow Bridge, and it was impossible for anyone to cross him and activate the Rainbow Bridge to attack Loki.
Heimdall killed Loki, Thor was unwilling to admit it, but he knew that this was the fact.
Thor didn't want to think about what caused all this, but he also knew that he understood it all.
Thor always knew that the Asgardians didn't like Loki, and could even say that they were very contemptuous and disgusted with him. They were even dissatisfied with their compliance with the rules of the Father of the Gods to salute Loki, because they felt that Loki was a person without a sense of honor and was not worthy of being a member of Asgard.
Thor knew that his brother was sensitive and suspicious, and he had felt resentful several times when the Asgardians ignored him.
Thor thought that he had indulged all this and indulged the endless suspicion and contempt of Loki by other people in Asgard.
He thought of what Loki said to him. Did these people really not consider the struggle for power and profit in their actions? Just because he was the future heir of Asgard, they could treat another prince who had no right of inheritance like this? Imagine him as an enemy, be on guard against him all the time, and speculate about him with the greatest malice?
Then, do they also have the utilitarianism of fighting for their own interests in their admiration for themselves?
Thor lay on the ground, his mind began to be a little scattered, but at the same time, he began to associate constantly. If he had strangled Loki's neck today, would Heimdall dare to activate the rainbow bridge to attack him?
He didn't dare, Thor said to himself in his heart, Heimdall certainly didn't dare to do this, because he was the future heir of Asgard, and Loki was just an unappreciated prince.
This was the most important reason for all these tragedies. Thor closed his eyes, and his breathing became heavier and heavier. He thought, the Asgardians were dissatisfied with Loki and ignored him, and Loki resented the injustice of the father of the gods and other people in Asgard, and what did he do?
I did nothing.
When the seeds of contradiction were planted, he was complacent about his honor and military exploits. When the contradictions accumulated deeper and deeper, he was proud of other people's praise for his bravery.
Many people and many things played in front of Thor's eyes. He and all his peers in Asgard were brothers. They always praised him with a smile, went hunting for him, brought fresh fruits, and served fine wine.
The face of Odin, the father of the gods, flashed in Thor's eyes again. In his impression, Odin had never expressed satisfaction with this, and Odin had never praised Thor's reputation among the people of Asgard.
Perhaps Odin knew long ago that there were too many insincere compliments in this world. Once indulged in them, he would become arrogant and arrogant.
When did he start to become like this?
Thor began to recall that he followed Odin to fight outside, and the praise of his subordinates and the compliments of his predecessors surrounded him. The voices became louder and louder, and began to lift his soul higher and higher, making him feel that he was omnipotent and deserved it.
Will there be sincere praise among these people? Perhaps there are, and there must be someone who is proud of his bravery and fighting skills.
But whether this is really a submission to his military strength and leadership, or thinking that this kind of fighting skills will bring more honor to themselves and their families, no one knows.
Thor suddenly felt a little ridiculous. He used to be so addicted to this kind of praise, like a dog chasing a bone. They can manipulate his emotions at will by moving their mouths effortlessly, making him complacent and ignoring many things that should not be ignored.
The praise of subjects and subordinates can win the king a smile, but Thor found that he actually regarded this smile as the ultimate goal.
With endless regret and sorrow, Thor's consciousness was shrouded in a layer of black fog, and then slowly sank into a deeper darkness. After an unknown amount of time, a drop of cold rain fell on his face, and the slight tickle of a feather brushing against his cheek made Thor open his eyes from the haze.
His breathing was very weak, and he heard a shrill voice saying, "He's awake, he's awake!"
Thor tried to breathe hard, opened his eyes and looked over. The sun shone on his face, making him feel waves of heat. At this time, a huge wing stretched out in front of his face, blocking the sun for him. A bird's face came to his face and asked: "Are you awake? Who are you? Why are you here?"

Thor heard that it seemed to be speaking the common language of a certain edge galaxy, but Thor could understand some of it. He said: "Where is this...?"
"This is the edge of the Woka Red Ring. How did you fall here?"
"What is the Woka Red Ring...?"
"Oh, I understand! You are also a criminal who was exiled here, right? This is Sakaar, the main planet of the Tyyo galaxy in the Tianlu system. Of course, people in the universe prefer to call this place Sakaar garbage dump.
Sakaar?
Thor's mind was in chaos. After a long time, he remembered that he had followed the crowd before. The Father of God passed by here, so he could understand some of the common language here.
He opened his cracked lips and looked at the sky. The sky here was completely different from the earth, covered with a layer of light green. There was a huge planet with star rings hanging in the sky, and the sun also seemed bigger and the sunlight was more scorching.
The sun was getting bigger and bigger in front of his eyes, and the white light was getting more and more dazzling, gradually occupying the entire field of vision, and the eyes were pale.
With a "click", the white light disappeared, the switch of the desk lamp was turned off, and Schiller sat beside the bed and said: "So why did you throw him to Saka?"
"Of course it's because that place is really suitable for him. "
A voice came from the hospital bed, but no body was seen. What was a little scary was that Loki's head was resting on the pillow, but his body was full of starlight.
It's not accurate to say it was starlight, because all the stars were glued together by black mucus. His body was like a big net made of symbionts. The black mucus was trying to climb and move, collecting the power of those stars and weaving them into a body again.
Schiller held a cup of coffee and said, "I wanted to pour you a cup, but now you have no digestive organs, so forget it."
Schiller and Loki looked at Loki's body together. Loki laughed. Schiller said, "You are still in the mood to laugh?"
"Of course I am in the mood to laugh. I can guess what that idiot is thinking now."
"He must feel that he is stupid. How could he believe the words that those people praised him before? He must feel that he is a clown and take the least important things so seriously."
"Honor, honor..." Loki sighed and said, "Who gives honor to whom? "
The door hinge rang, and Strange walked in. He looked at Loki and said, "If I knew your plan was so risky, I would never take Thor with me."
"Risky? Well, I admit that I had a little gambling element, but obviously, I bet right."
"Tell me about your plan from the beginning. I think you really need an audience now."
Loki smiled again, he seemed very relaxed, and then began his story.
"Thor's biggest problem is that he is too addicted to the fictitious sense of honor and mission. He has never figured out one thing, that is, who gives honor to whom?"
"The father of the gods stands on the highest throne. Whoever he gives honor to is a brave warrior of Asgard, but Thor is just the opposite. Everyone praises him as the bravest warrior of Asgard, so he thinks it is true."
"The Aesir is really a very strange race. "Loki's tone was somewhat sarcastic and a little emotional: "They are born warlike, but they are unwilling to admit that it is the violent gene in their bones that makes them want to start wars all the time. "
"So, they want to put a hypocritical coat on the war, calling it honor and mission, but in fact they are just indulging in the pleasure of victory and conquest. "
"If a king cannot understand this, he will never be able to rule the Aesir, but obviously, the father of the gods has done well enough. "
"He regards war as a bone thrown to the dog, and uses honor and mission as chains and collars to drive the warriors of Asgard to fight for him, and at the same time regards him as the most wise king, willingly being ruled by him and grabbing the fruits of victory for him. "
"But Thor does not understand this. He chases bones with the group of dogs, instead of being a person holding a chain and throwing bones. "
"If he continues like this, he will be deceived by honor and lead Asgard to the abyss of destruction. "
"His trust in the Asgardians is based on their flattery of him, but the All-Father never needs the flattery of the Asgardians. He only needs them to fight bravely for him."
"What is the ultimate purpose of the All-Father throwing Thor to Earth? To make him learn humility? To make him learn kindness?"
"No, no king needs these things. Besides, although I often laugh at Thor, I have to admit that he is actually a good man, kind enough, even a little too kind, which makes him look stupid."
"The All-Father wants him to understand that any flattery from anyone in Asgard, all those so-called honors and missions, are meaningless."
"Without enough power and weapons, he can only live a hard and poor life like an ordinary earthling."<
"Only when he wakes up from that false sense of honor can he embark on the path to a true king."
"Why did he go to Jotunheim to make a fuss? It's because he was worried. He was worried that the turmoil at the ceremony might plummet his image in the hearts of the Asgardians. He was worried that the Asgardians would not If he continues to respect him like that, he is worried that this kind of accident may make him unconvinced."
"But the father of the gods has never used any image, face, or ceremony to convince the public. No one has ever dared to question his majesty."
"We all know this. In fact, except for Thor himself, many onlookers can see that he has put the cart before the horse, but this may also have something to do with his father's education. Odin made up a set of rhetoric about a sense of honor. And then he deceived his son as well.”
"You planned to make him realize this and wake up from these false sense of honor, so you played a cruel trick?"
"But I don't understand something." Strange looked at Loki and said, "How did you achieve all this?"
"This is the simplest. Sif and those three idiots don't have any deep trust in me. You can only say that they are very annoying. Heimdall seems to be neutral, but in fact I know that he is very suspicious of me."
"I deliberately ran back and forth among several warehouses under their noses, knocking and acting suspiciously."
"Sif and I also grew up together. To be fair, I know that they are relatively simple-minded and rarely think about twists and turns. What's surprising is that they don't think I'm a threat. Maybe they don't think I'm a threat. I just thought I was trying to do some mischief or something.”
"But their family members are different. Sif's two brothers are both deputy captains of the fleet. Among the other three, two elders in the family are close ministers in front of Odin's throne, and one is the deputy commander of the palace guard. …”
"They have always watched me closely, because the most unacceptable thing they can't accept is that I have any possibility of ascending to the throne, because everyone knows that once I ascend to the throne, they will have absolutely no battles to fight, and Asgard will be on the path to success. A completely different path.”
"This group of Asa protoss has violence and war engraved in their bones. They will never accept such a result, so they will definitely instill this concept in their children. They must keep an eye on me and don't let me pose any threat. Possibility to Thor.”
"Thor is the king they want, and I am not."
"Originally, this was an established fact, but recently, the attitude of the father of the gods has been a bit subtle..."
"Indeed, he knocked Thor down to the mortal world, and then gave you the priesthood of a true god, and he was the first among your generation."
"I can imagine how they tossed and turned to try to figure out the psychology of the Father of the Gods, and just when they wanted to test it, the Father of the Gods fell asleep."
"At this point, I sneak in and out of various warehouses, pretending to be plotting against Thor, and they will join together like headless flies to discuss what I want to do. , will it really threaten Thor?"
"In this way, I attracted most of the attention of this group of people, including Heimdall who was guarding the Bifrost."
"Heimdall is the only person in Asgard, besides the Father of the Gods, who has the right to activate the Rainbow Bridge. Even God Queen Frigga and the Commander-in-Chief of the Palace Guard do not have this right.
"So you brought the Destroyer to Earth, and then pretended to kill Thor and his friends, attracting the Bifrost to attack you, but aren't you afraid that the Bifrost will actually kill you?"
"So I said, I have gambling elements." Loki's eyes flashed with a hint of madness, but his tone was calm. At this time, he looked more like the god of fraud who is famous throughout the universe.
"I know something about Heimdall. He is a relatively conservative Asgardian. In other words, although he supports Thor, he only has doubts about me, not strong opposition."
"To put it simply, he doesn't hate me, he just thinks that I am not suitable to be the heir of Asgard. Some time ago, when I was running business in the universe, I frequently used the Rainbow Bridge, but he didn't say anything."
"So I'm sure that even if he remotely controls the Rainbow Bridge to attack me, he will definitely control the force and not really kill me, but just stop me from harming Thor,"
"But you performed a 'Death of Loki' in front of Thor."
"Yes, I have to thank him for this." Loki lowered his head and looked at Venom in his body. Venom was busy at the moment and had no time to answer their words. Loki said to himself: "Before, this symbiote When he came to me, he said he wanted to devour his own kind, and his kind contained the most essence of Gnar's power."
""After adapting to my body, he started his plan, but he found that this matter was not that simple. The power of the symbiote called Riot, Etonar, had been resisting, and there was nothing good about the venom. method to eliminate him. "
"If there is a head-to-head confrontation, the final outcome may be that both sides will suffer losses. The riot will consume all the power that Gnar left for him, and Venom will gain nothing."
"I understand." Strange sighed and said, "So you two are working together?"
"This is mutual benefit. The venom put the riot into my body, and then used it to withstand most of the damage when the Rainbow Bridge attacked me. This can not only weaken the power of the riot, but also block the damage for me. "
"Then how did you end up like this?"
"The Rainbow Bridge is the most powerful weapon in Asgard. Even the lowest output is enough to seriously injure me. However, the effect is not explosive enough and may not be able to stimulate Thor. I must perform a real death for him." on site."
"So, when the Rainbow Bridge attacked me, I asked Venom to attack the rioters at the same time, and the two symbiotes fought inside my body. I don't know if you understand the process of their fight..."
"I understand that in just one second, they can launch an army battle in every cell of yours. The effect is almost the same as igniting a huge nuclear bomb in every cell of yours..."
"Yes, the battle between Venom and Riot destroyed almost all of my body, and allowed Thor to see a real death scene."
"You should have other purposes, such as your divine power and priesthood?"
"Yes, after my previous investigation..." Loki sighed and said, "I found that I may not be suitable for the priesthood of Vulcan."
"But Asgard's priesthood system is a very magical thing. Once chosen, it can never be changed. An Asgardian with the priesthood of a true god can hardly change his priesthood. There is only one possibility, and that is death or infinite life. Close to death."
"At that moment, the venom sealed my consciousness and then melted my body. This deceived the World Tree into thinking that I was dead, so my divine power and priesthood were taken out of my body."
"When my consciousness returned, I took the initiative to pour power and priesthood into Thor's body, and I could rebuild it and change it to a more suitable priesthood."
"So, you two can get three divine powers and priesthoods. How did World Tree give birth to such a genius like you?" Schiller also said with a smile.
Strange said with some sigh: "Everyone in Asgard used praise and boast to weave a web of lies for Thor, but as the God of Lies, you died trying to expose this lie..."
"Then..." The three of them looked at each other and smiled.
"...Please ask for the area of Thor's psychological shadow at this time."
------Digression-----
Yesterday, I saw that the reward for the monthly ticket activity was additional updates. In order to avoid additional updates, I very decisively entered an impossible figure (I thought), 10,000 monthly tickets.
As a result, I woke up today and saw that it was more than 4,000.
His eyes went dark.
