"You better not be lying to me."
"I hate it when people lie to me."
Loki said as he walked, watching the guy step onto the void. He thought the guy would fall, but unexpectedly, a rock appeared and formed a step.
"My lord, I have brought him."
After Loki followed the man for a while, they reached a huge rock platform. As soon as they got on the platform, the man knelt down on one knee.
"Kneel down."
Before Loki could react, he felt an invisible force pressing down on him, forcing him to his knees.
After Loki knelt down, he felt the force disappear, but knowing there were powerful figures present, he didn't get up, only slightly raising his head.
In the center of the rocky platform stood a massive throne, upon which sat a figure with purple skin, clad in golden armor.
With just a slight glance, Loki felt immense pressure emanating from him, a feeling he had only ever experienced with his father.
"This person's strength is not much weaker than my father's!"
"Isn't he much weaker than Odin?"
L felt that his guess that he went first might be correct, but since he was not much weaker than Odin, why not take advantage of Odin's slumber?
"In other words, besides Odin, there is another figure that makes him wary."
And beside that throne were five men, each with their own unique appearance.
The first one on the left is the largest; he's no shorter than any of the Frost Giants. He wears a thin, black robe, and his exposed skin looks like an unbreakable boulder.
"This guy is like the Hulk."
Natsuki Subaru looked at the tall figure that appeared on the screen, which was just like the Hulk, except that the Hulk was only wearing underwear and not holding anything.
Next to the tall man was a weasel-faced fellow wearing a black cloak, holding a gleaming battle blade; he looked like the Grim Reaper.
The one on the far left was a guy with horns on his head, blue skin, and a long spear in his hand. Loki felt that the way that guy looked at him was the same as the way that pointy-faced guy looked at prey.
"A couple killer?"
Kasumigaoka Utaha looked at the two guys in the light screen and for some reason, she felt at first glance that the two guys were a couple.
The first one on the right is a guy dressed in a suit who looks like an octopus without tentacles; that's the guy who made Loki kneel down.
The one on the far right was a blue-skinned woman wearing a silver cloak. Loki felt as if his entire being was laid bare before her, with no secrets left to hide.
The man in the silver cloak was also holding a scepter.
"That is the Scepter of the Mind."
As someone who had seen "The Avengers," Minoru Kageno immediately recognized that the guy was holding the Mind Scepter.
【"very good."】
"Loki, son of Odin."
"I know you."
"I know what you crave."
The person on the throne, Thanos, spoke to Loki, who was kneeling there.
"I can help you; I will send troops to assist you."
"But you also have to help me get something."
"Once this is done, you can rule as king on that planet."
【"no problem."】
"What will we use to attack that planet?"
Loki agreed to the man's proposal. As for refusal, Loki could sense that, setting aside the person on the throne, even the five men beside him were not people he could easily deal with.
[He's now trapped, like a turtle in a jar; he has no right to refuse. Loki fears that if he did refuse, he might really be dead.]
"I want you to attack Midgard, which is Earth, and seize the Cosmic Cube there."
Loki paused for a moment upon hearing the man's words, not because he was unaware of the place or what he was supposed to take.
[Quietly, it was precisely because he knew Loki that he was stunned; Earth was a backward planet that his brother Thor had banished after being stripped of his divine powers.]
Loki also knew that the Tesseract was something from the Asgardian vaults, but he didn't know why it had disappeared.
"What, is there a problem?"
"No problem with temperature. I will present you with the Cosmic Cube after I conquer Earth."
Loki, being a man who knows how to judge things appropriately, agreed.
[And it's not without its benefits. At the very least, it allows me to get some good revenge on Thor. You like Earth, right? Well, I'll give your beloved planet a big gift.]
"The wise choice is to give it to him."
Thanos gestured for the Supergiant to lend Loki the Mind Scepter.
"This scepter is called the Mind Scepter, and its most basic ability is very simple: to control others."
"I'll lend it to you to help you conquer Earth."
"You can leave now. He will contact you regarding the relevant matters."
After Thanos finished speaking, Loki and the man in the purple cloak beside him left and returned to the stone platform where Loki had first fallen.
"My lord, I don't understand. Why must we rely on that weakling? Our strength is no less than Odin's in Asgard."
"You can declare war directly; your strength is more than enough."
"The octopus-like man in the suit with ebony throat asked."
"If it were just Odin alone, that would certainly be enough, but there's another guy on Earth who's my biggest concern."
"I can't rashly step in; otherwise, if Odin and she, the Sorcerer Supreme, join forces, I won't fare well either."
"So, even if we can't actually get our hands on the Tesseract through Loki, Odin's son, we can still obtain some useful information."
Thanos said that he didn't go directly to the Nine Realms because these two people were there to oversee things.
"It was my rudeness and ignorance."
Ebony Throat also bowed and admitted his mistake.
L's gaze grew increasingly solemn as he looked at the screen, because he knew that he would likely have to fight the Thanos on the throne and his five henchmen.
Although we don't know their exact strength, we can tell from Loki's reaction that they are very strong.
441: The oppressive feeling and despair brought by Thanos
Leaving aside the fact that the purple-skinned alien sitting on the throne, clad in dark gold armor, was powerful enough to rival the Allfather of Asgard.
The fact that the five aliens beside him, each with their own unique appearance and superior strength compared to Loki, was enough to demonstrate the seriousness of the situation.
Moreover, they have an unknown number of troops under their command.
L estimates that the Chitauri army sent to help Loki attack Earth was just one of many.
To put it bluntly, the Chitauri army was nothing more than cannon fodder.
Loki, still shaken, followed the man in the purple cloak back to the original rocky platform.
Loki even thought he might die there, because he recognized the man sitting on the central throne.
[He wore dark gold armor, his helmet adorned with jeweled emblems, wielded a dark gold double-edged greatsword, had dark purple skin, and was accompanied by his five henchmen.]
Thanos, also known as Thanos.
Loki felt a lingering fear; he had heard his father, Odin, mention that guy.
[An extremely terrifying warmonger, every planet he passes through will be slaughtered by him.]
Whether it's an advanced or primitive civilization, wherever there are people and civilization, Thanos will visit and unleash a massacre.
However, Loki didn't understand why Thanos only slaughtered half the population of each civilization he attacked, instead of completely wiping them out.
[And it's not just about wiping out half of each civilization; it's about killing half the population of every civilization and leaving half behind.]
Of course, this doesn't diminish Loki's fear of Thanos. Firstly, there's the oppressive feeling Thanos exudes; secondly, there's Odin's warning; and thirdly, there are Thanos's actions.
Loki was unaware of how many lives Thanos had already taken, and of course, he didn't care.
"hiss."
Natsuki Takashi sprayed the soda out of his mouth.
Why is he such a ruthless person? Although Natsuki Subaru doesn't understand why Thanos only slaughters half of the enemies each time.
However, that doesn't stop Natsuki Subaru from being afraid of this ruthless man named Thanos.
"If this guy targets Earth, what if he comes one day?"
Natsuki Subaru was somewhat afraid to imagine what it would be like if such a guy came to Earth.
Earth rebelling? Well, Natsuki Subaru did think about it, but only briefly.
