"I don't want to argue with you about whether Loki is good or bad …"
Saber looked at Heimdall with a hint of impatience in his eyes. "I don't want to argue with you about what is justice and what is axiom."
"An exiled prince colluded with foreign enemies, led an army to attack Earth, and tried to enslave this planet. As an Earthling, killing him is what I should do. If you think I'm wrong … If you think I'm trampling on the so-called dignity of Asgard, the so-called royal power!"
Saber hooked his finger at Heimdall.
"Come on, kill me!"
Heimdall, who was wearing a golden helmet, clenched the heavy sword in his hand. For a moment, he really wanted to swing his sword and slash, but in the end, he forcefully suppressed the idea.
He had a fully armed legion, but so did the other side.
There was also a group of heroes who could stop an invading fleet with a dozen people, but he did not.
"Bastard! Loki is dead, but Saul has always treated you as a friend! "
The irritable Volstagg waved the battle axe in his hand and shouted at Saber, "We also treat you as a friend. Look at what you've done!"
"That's why he's still alive!"
Saber threw out a blunt sentence. "I could have killed him directly, but I spared his life, didn't I?"
This sentence shut Volstagg's mouth. Debate had never been a dwarf's strong suit. In Volstagg's heart, he even felt that Saber's words made sense because he also hated Loki.
"You shouldn't have killed Loki, Saber."
The female general Heve glanced worriedly at Saul, who had been sent to the warship for treatment. She turned her gaze to Saber. "You've gotten yourself into trouble. Odin won't let it go just like that. You can punish him, you can torture him, but you can't kill him. He's still the prince of Asgard in name, and the king of the gods will even start a war because of this."
Heimdall continued:
"At that time, you and your world will not only have to face the garrison from Alfheim, but all the armies of the Nine Worlds will gather together. With all due respect, you may have seen the Chitauri fleet, but the Asgardian army is stronger than it. How will you and your civilization stop all of this?"
"Hehe."
Saber sneered and stared at Heimdall.
"Then tell me, what did Odin ask me to do a few months ago?"
The gatekeeper's expression changed drastically. Saber's sinister voice sounded again. This time, it was in a voice that only Heimdall and the gatekeeper could hear.
"Go back and tell your God King that I have no intention of going to war with Asgard, but if he doesn't let it go and wants to pay the price for the death of a lunatic, I don't mind dragging Asgard down with me. You and I both know what Loki's background is. The so-called prince's identity is just to deceive laymen … My rationality is already very tired, and I urgently want it to rest, really …"
Heimdall's expression became extremely ugly. After a moment, he let out a sigh of relief.
"I will tell everything you said to the God King. What he decides is his business … Saber Hawk, don't do anything stupid. Hila is not trustworthy!"
"If you force me into a dead end, I'll grab onto every straw that can save my life …"
Saber closed his eyes and waved his hand.
"Go back. No one wants to see Hila reappear. He doesn't want to, and neither do I. Leave someone to receive the Tesseract. I want to use it for one last thing."
"Release the blockade and let them go!"
Saber ordered. Lewis picked up the communicator and said something. The Sky-Breaker in the sky slowly retreated, making way for the entrance of the Bifrost. A brilliant beam of light descended from the sky, enveloping Heimdall and his fleet. In the midst of the light, the tense situation suddenly calmed down. The female general Sif stayed on Earth as the representative of Asgard, waiting for the return of the Tesseract.
"Clean up the battlefield! Take everything that can be used and wait for us in Mexico … "
Saber turned back and nodded at Lewis.
"I will bring them all back."
After saying that, his gaze fell on the Black Bat King and Medusa not far away. He glanced at them and then at Sif.
"Let's go. We are going to Gotham."
Five minutes later, a golden portal opened up on the coast of Gotham. The energy riot of the Tesseract had completely changed the ground and mountains here, turning this place into a terrible valley. The sea poured in, forming a small lake with a psychedelic light. It looked very beautiful, but the price of the change was that this land was full of strange energy.
In the past 20 days, there had been at least 7 adventurers who weren't afraid of death that had gotten lost in the vicinity of this lake. The entire place was sparkling with the radiance of the chaotic space. It would take at least 10 years for this place to return to its original state. With the dimensional barrier becoming increasingly damaged, this terrible change to the environment was very likely to be permanent.
Saber threw the Tesseract in his hand to Strange and said in a deep voice, "Don't let this happen again.
"Please don't make another mistake this time. Brother Tan won't be able to handle another mistake."
Dr. Strange nodded. He bent down and began to draw a huge spatial formation. He didn't even raise his head as he spoke.
He did not raise his head and said, "Don't worry, this time I will check it three times … No, five times."
"This used to be a city?"
Medusa, who was supported by Crystal, carefully looked at everything around her. She looked at the wreckage of the fourteen ocean bridges that led to the land that had been cut open. She said in a low voice, "It still looks like a big city."
She turned her head and looked at Saber who was sitting cross-legged by the sea.
"I haven't thanked you yet, Overlord. Thank you for saving me and my husband, as well as our people from the eternal slavery of the Beehive. You are the savior of the Inhumans."
"I'm not. I just killed a lunatic and fulfilled our promise with Crystal. That's all."
Saber looked at the calm sea in front of him and said in a low voice,
"You have a good sister, Your Majesty. Compared to her, my sisters are much more disobedient."
When Crystal heard Seiber's praise, she immediately revealed a happy smile. Medusa also patted her sister's head in a doting manner. Behind him, the exhausted Black Bat King also revealed a smile. The husband and wife used telepathy to understand each other's thoughts. In the end, Medusa opened her mouth to speak.
"The Inhumans will abide by the contract between Crystal and Mr. Charles. We will pass the method of activating the Inhumans with the Teregan Crystal to you, but we don't wish for this method to be leaked. Also, thank you for finding the four crystals for us."
Medusa paused and said in a heavier tone.
"From today onwards, unless there are special circumstances, the Inhumans will be Utopia's best friends. In the name of the royal family, we hereby make this promise."
Saber was not overjoyed. He just waved his hand.
"What you need is far more than just eliminating Hive. What you need is a change in social civilization. Of course, this is your internal matter. I won't interfere. I want to talk to you about something else."
He waved at Black Bat King and Medusa. The two supreme rulers of the Inhumans hesitated for a moment before walking to Saber's side. They sat on the edge of the cliff and looked at the calm sea in the distance. Then, they heard Saber say,
"The Inhumans aren't ready to live in harmony with human civilization, right? It's said that you've never thought of joining human civilization? "
"Yes, that's right."
Medusa spoke on behalf of Black Bat King.
"In ancient traditions, this is to prevent the loss of young Inhumans. As the times progressed, we discovered that the self-destructive tendencies of humans became more and more serious. Although we also came from the human race, this doesn't mean that we have to place our hopes of reproduction on the hesitation of humans. Therefore, from then on, Attilan began to distance itself from human society."
"You're right. We've never thought of integrating into this civilization."
Black Bat King, who was free from Hive's control, returned to his usual silence. He nodded in agreement with Medusa's words.
"Very good. It's similar to what I thought."
Saber snapped his fingers. "Humans are the most xenophobic race. From this point of view, Inhumans and Mutants can stand on the same front. We are natural allies. Although there are no more obstacles in the establishment of Utopia, I have to leave them a way out. I have an alternate world in my hands. I can share it with you. At least before Attilan's restoration is completed, you don't have to worry about being surrounded and targeted by humans."
"An alternate world?"
Medusa was a little confused. "Is this a symbolic statement or a realistic statement?"
"The latter!"
Saber said in a deep voice. "With just one last step, I can turn it into a livable world, and no other race will come back to disturb it. That is the real place where my ideal Utopia exists. Of course, I'm just suggesting. You'll see it with your own eyes soon. When the time comes, you'll naturally prove that what I said is true."
"What's the price?"
Medusa asked. Black Bat King also stared at Saber. In the face of this inquisitive gaze, Saber shrugged.
"Since I've chosen a new home, I naturally have to do my part to protect it. That world is very big. The planet's diameter is a third larger than Earth's. It's impossible to rely on Mutants to explore the entire world. I'm willing to share it with my friends, and I need my friends to do their part to protect it. Maybe we can form a joint government of Mutants and Inhumans. When that time comes, no matter how chaotic Earth is, it will have nothing to do with us."
"That will be a real, new world!"
This sentence made Medusa and Black Bat King fall silent. Obviously, such a big matter could not be decided immediately. So, after a few seconds, Medusa spoke.
"We need time to convince the ministers of the parliament. But if we can see everything you described with our own eyes, it might not be a big problem. Just like you said, Inhumans and Mutants are natural allies when facing humans."
"Okay, I'll give you time."
Saber nodded. Behind them, Strange placed the Tesseract on the shining magic circle. Crystal stood by the side and watched this scene curiously. With Doctor Strange's complicated incantations and changing hand seals, the entire magic circle was completely activated. The next moment, the power of the Tesseract was extracted and poured into the magic circle bit by bit.
A scarlet light shone above the sea. The spatial seal that Loki had placed in the sky through the Tesseract was slowly unraveled. The rift between the Demon Realm and the real world once again appeared on the surface of the sea. However, the current Gotham was far from the original city.
Through a layer of scarlet light, Saber could even see that the city had been cut open from the periphery and turned into a hexagonal city. A dark green magic halo shone above the city, providing it with the power to float. The uneven foundation below the city was also reinforced layer by layer, shining with the light of steel.
Like a broken city glued together by steel and magic, only one-third of the original area of Gotham was left. The rest was corroded bit by bit by the wind of the void in the spatial rift. In that environment, one could imagine what kind of terrible environment the people of the entire city were living in.
"Look, this is everything that Loki left for us! Sif. "
Saber stood up, clapped his hands, and pointed at the dead city that was moving out of the spatial rift bit by bit. Sif's eyes widened at this moment. She had no idea what Loki had done on Earth. Now, it seemed that Loki … had died without regrets.
Saber placed his left hand on the female general's shoulder and said in a low voice, "Tell your king what happened.
"Go back and tell your king everything you've seen. If he thinks that the life of his adopted son is more precious than the lives of three million people on Earth, then let him come. I may not be his match, but I believe that once the war starts, the surviving warriors in this city will be very willing to multiply all the suffering that Loki has brought to them tenfold and return it all to your Asgard!"
"Okay."
Sif was speechless and could only nod silently.
Saber turned around and looked at the city that had broken through the spatial rift and appeared in the sky. At the edge of the city, the members of The Devil Gang and the survivors stood there and cheered.
Some people threw their hats into the sky, some people knelt on the ground in gratitude, and more people just roared without any meaning. They just wanted to vent their sadness and joy.
Catherine, Emma, and the other girls were chattering as they rode on the pegasus Rogan. They were the first to leave the floating city. Rogan also seemed to yearn for the bright light and air. It flapped its wings and flew quickly in the sky with the girls. Saber waved at them. He raised his head and looked at the higher part of Gotham.
There, Batman, dressed in black, stood on a stone pillar. His wide black cloak covered his body like an omnipresent silent guardian. His eyes also saw Saber. His figure disappeared at the top, and a black bat slowly fell into the city.
Saber knew that it was him greeting him … He had done everything that he had promised him. In Saber's absence, he had protected this city that was on the verge of destruction very well.
"Gotham … is back! Home … is back! "
