Asgard was a monarchy. Although it had advanced civilization and technology, since it was a monarchy, it must have retained some characteristics that belonged to the monarchy. For example, the king would live in the palace, the royal family enjoyed special privileges, and … the king's frightening cage.
Of course, the Asgardians were a cosmic civilization, and they had many ways to get the information they needed from prisoners. Torture had long ceased to exist, but those who could be locked in Odin's cell were notorious and dangerous people from the Nine Realms.
For example, the dark elves in the deepest cage, the mad dwarf engineer, the undead warriors of the Kingdom of the Dead, and the war criminals and heinous slaughterers from various planets, as well as some of the criminals within Asgard itself … Don't underestimate them. When an Asgardian with divine power and a lifespan of 5,000 years planned to commit a crime, the damage he could cause was definitely more terrible than an ordinary person.
But recently, a very important person had come to this cage where almost no one had really escaped.
"Loki, my brother, are you going to continue to be in a stalemate with us?"
Saul stood in front of the yellow seal wall, as if through glass, and looked at Loki, who was leisurely sitting in the cell and reading a book. Compared to the pain and sadness on Saul's face, the second prince in the cage was as elegant as a real galactic noble. Compared to the other prisoners, Loki more or less received preferential treatment. He had a set of tables and chairs, a decent bed, and some books that he had specially requested to relieve his boredom. Other than that, there was nothing in the cell.
In the face of Saul's question, Loki acted as if he hadn't heard it at all. He shook his head and looked at the extremely boring "A Brief History of Asgard" in his hand. He seemed to be enjoying it. This uncooperative and unangry response made Saul, who had come to see him, look ugly.
It wasn't until Saul's anger could no longer be suppressed that Loki suddenly raised his head and looked at his brother.
"Has the new king come to inspect his prisoners? Or are you going to exercise your power now and directly execute me here? So that a traitor who murdered his family will die in prison? "
"Bastard! How could you have such thoughts! "
Saul's voice became irritable. He stared at Loki and said loudly, "You bastard, you broke my mother's heart!"
"She's not my mother!"
The peaceful Loki suddenly flew into a rage at this moment. The book in his hand was ruthlessly smashed onto the yellow light screen in front of him. His originally calm face flashed with a crazed expression, like a truly enraged beast. He bared his teeth at Saul outside the cage.
"You don't know anything! Saul, you don't know anything! Lies! All of this is a lie. Don't even think about deceiving me! "
"Are you crazy? What nonsense are you talking about? "
Saul's eyes widened. He looked at the imprisoned Loki with an incredulous expression. "What nonsense are you talking about? I don't know why you have to kill me and lure the Frost Giants into Asgard, but! Loki, what you did wrong can't change mother's love for you. She begged father time and time again, otherwise you would have been exiled by now, and even... You should apologize to her! "
"Oh? Apologize? "
Loki's expression became sarcastic again. He played with his fingers and asked, "In what name? Saul Odinson, in what name should I apologize to the great Queen Frigga? "
"You are her son. You are my brother. You are the son of Odin!"
Saul said righteously. "The same blood flows in our bodies. No matter how many mistakes you have made, you can't..."
His words were quickly interrupted because Saul saw the changes in Loki's body. He still had that mocking smile on his face, but his skin slowly turned from the color of Asgard to a dark blue that was similar to the ice of the deep sea. There were also three special dark red emblems on his forehead. Saul couldn't have mistaken that symbol for anything else.
That was... the symbol of the Frost Giant nobles.
"Do we really have the same blood flowing in our bodies?"
Loki's voice became tactful and sarcastic. He laughed. "Are you sure about this? Saul, do you really know everything that happened to me? Do you think I want to kill you just because I'm jealous of you? How stupid! "
His hands were heavily shackled. He stretched out his fingers with difficulty, turned his upper body forward, and pointed at Saul, who was pale and slowly retreating, through the pale yellow light curtain.
"You and I... have never been the same! From the beginning, we have been different! "
Loki saw the shock and confusion in Saul's eyes. He regarded it as a kind of ridicule and contempt for himself. He did not explain anything. He just waved his hand, came back to his senses, sat back in his chair, and picked up another book to read.
"Go back, King Saul of Asgard. Next time you show your kindness, don't forget to get the facts straight. You see, I don't need your pity at all. I have been your enemy from the beginning. I have to be worthy of my bloodline, don't I?"
"It shouldn't be like this! It shouldn't be like this … "
Saul took a few steps back in a daze. The scene in front of him was so horrifying that his big heart could not bear it. He took a deep breath and took another step back. Looking at Loki's back, he wanted to say something, but in the end, he just turned his head quietly and walked out of the cell. Hearing Saul's footsteps getting farther and farther away, Loki's handsome face was expressionless. He was like a person who was really addicted to reading and no longer paid attention to everything around him.
However, the moment his finger flipped over a new page of the 'Geography of the Nine Realms', Loki's brows suddenly furrowed.
Because the words on this page were not right!
As a real straight-A student growing up, Loki could recite this boring planetary geography book in front of him backwards. But the words that appeared in front of him now were all words he had never seen before. And when he focused his attention on it, the words in front of him suddenly moved strangely, as if black ants on the ground were running around in some kind of disturbance. The words on the page in front of him also began to distort and reorganize. Finally, in Loki's eyes, they reorganized into another sentence.
"Deceiver, you have nowhere to go?"
Seeing this title, Loki took a deep breath. He knew who was behind this strangeness because in his memory, there was only one existence who called him Deceiver.
He thought for a moment, reached out his hand, and wrote a reply on the page in front of him:
"So what if I am? So what if I'm not? "
Soon, in the blank space at the bottom of the page, another line of words appeared:
"I don't like to guess riddles, but I can give you another way. Remember this address and come to me. I will give you power that you can't even imagine. No matter what you want to do … without power, it's impossible!"
A sneaky smile appeared on Loki's face. He seemed to treat this as a fun game. He reached out his hand and continued to write on the page:
"But I'm locked up … I can't go to the appointment. What a pitiful encounter, isn't it?"
"Hehe, if you can be locked up by Odin, it can only prove that you're nothing more than that. Little Bug Loki, you and I both know what you want. I will only tell you that under this starry sky, only I can give you everything you want, whether it's destruction or revenge."
The line of words jumped on the page in a strange way. The moment the last word ended, a flame-shaped symbol appeared on the page. After a flash of light, Loki suddenly woke up from the table. He raised his head and looked around. It was still the same cell. Nothing had changed except for the book in his hand.
Loki turned the page to the previous page. It once again turned into the words he was familiar with. The previous abnormality seemed to have never happened.
"Little bug? Hmph. "
Loki snorted, stood up, and walked to the front of the pale yellow energy wall. He closed his eyes slightly: "What a big tone."
As soon as he finished speaking, the yellow wall in front of him suddenly shrank and disappeared in an instant, as if it had never appeared. This scene made Loki's eyes shrink, but in the next moment, he gritted his teeth and turned around to look at the room that was decorated very comfortably.
It was as comfortable as the side hall of the Golden Palace.
"But there's only a cage there."
He said in a low voice, his hands shaking. In less than 10 seconds, the heavy handcuffs and shackles fell to the ground. Loki moved his limbs with a relaxed expression. He strolled to the front of the control entrance of the dungeon. As a former prince, he had been here more than once. He knew the layout of the mechanisms here better than anyone else.
"Loki wants freedom. No one doesn't love freedom."
His fingers tapped on the control panel a few times. He looked at the cells in front of him that had their yellow shields turned off. He looked at the prisoners of different shapes and races. When the gazes of these galactic scum fell on him, he spread his hands and said softly, "I'm sorry, but I don't know what's going on.
"Now, cheer, King Loki, and mercifully grant you … Freedom!"
That night, Asgard, which had just restored order, was in chaos. The scum and bastards who should have been obliterated in time returned to their own world. The chaos and aftermath they brought had not been completely eliminated until 10 years later.
On the other side, Earth, northeast of the European continent.
The temperature on the ice sheet naturally couldn't be expected to be comfortable. In fact, if an ordinary person didn't wear winter clothes, they would probably be frozen in the first three hours after entering this place. Looking from afar, on the snow-white ice sheet, the cold wind was like a knife, blowing the weak falling snow everywhere. There was no doubt that it was just as it looked on the surface. This place was a forbidden zone for life with few people.
Earth's civilization was flourishing. It had been several centuries since the last great geographical discovery, but unfortunately, there were always some places on this planet that were not suitable for human habitation. With the current level of Earth's civilization, there was still nothing they could do about the willfulness of nature.
However, the cold could not stop the pace of exploration. At least for those who were really strong, this cold of more than ten degrees below zero was nothing.
However, on the eve of the arrival of the age of chaos, on this ice sheet, the fatal factor was not just the cold. In the past seven months, there had been at least 14 confirmed traces of abnormal creatures, from huge frost giants to charming ice fairies. Nearly a thousand years after the end of the ancient times, the creatures in those stories had once again appeared on this land in the extreme north. No one knew whether this was a good thing or a bad thing.
A black shadow slowly landed on the ground amidst the drifting snowflakes in the sky. It was like a small plane landing, blowing away the layers of snow on the ground. The black majestic heavenly warhorse's thick hooves stepped on the ice sheet. This majestic creature raised its head and let out a resounding cry. The black-clothed knight on its back turned over and dismounted. He threw out two clean carrots as a reward for this long journey.
"Oh, this is really a damned place."
Saber stood in the snow, looking left and right at the vast expanse of white world. He stretched out his hand and patted the neck of the warhorse behind him, "Ruogen, go and play. Don't eat too much meat, don't scare those ordinary people."
"Huhuhu"
The Heavenly Warhorse used its huge head to nudge Sai Bo's arm. Then, it flapped its wings and soared into the sky, creating a huge snowstorm. When the snowstorm subsided, its master had already disappeared from where he stood.
The ground was bare, not a single footprint could be seen. It was like the beginning of a scary ghost story.
