Loki hasn't had a good time lately.Because of something...
He had met Thor before, and from Thor's words, Loki could tell that he might not be able to return to Asgard.Thor, his elder brother, has voluntarily renounced his right to the throne.That should be a good thing for Loki.But he couldn't be happier.On the one hand, because of the heavy workload of state affairs, the king's throne is not easy to sit on, and it is a kind of torture for him to let the prodigal Loki sit on the throne seriously.Loki, on the other hand, in order to make himself worthy of the throne of the king, in order for the people of Asgard to see what he is capable of.He did something in secret.Met some people.Some shady agreements were signed.Loki secretly signed a contract with Laufey, the Frost Giant King of Jotunheim, and he gave Laufey the Ice Box, in which Laufey promised not to invade the Asgardian Order for 500 years.The Frost Giants gain dignity, and Asgard gains peace.Give Loki 500 years, and he's sure enough to oust Laufey from the throne of the King of Giants.If all goes well, he will become the joint king of Jotunheim and Asgard at the right time.He has the ability and the right to do it.But now, something has happened to the man who signed the deal with Loki.Message from Jotunheim.Laufey is dead...
The savage King of the Frost Giants died in a rebellion against the mysterious winter goddess Scati.Laufey's loyal subordinates were expelled from Jotunheim, and the land of ice was now the kingdom of Scati.And most fatally, Loki secretly sent an emissary to Jotunheim to keep peace with the winter goddess.But the latter simply did not bother.According to Heimdall's observations, the Frost Giants of Jotunheim are gathering on an uncharacteristically large scale.A war is coming.Worst of all, Laufey died, and the Winter Box that Loki had given him was missing.The artifact from Odin's treasury probably fell into the hands of the goddess Scati.Once the two sides go to war, that thing will definitely be used in the war, and Loki's little trick will no longer be hidden.Privately give the artifacts in Asgard's collection to the leader of the enemy country...
Even for peaceful purposes, Loki would still be convicted of treason.And with what he knows about Odin, Odin will never forgive him.Prince Loki is now in a hurry, and although he looks stable on the surface, he is already panicking inside.And it wasn't until negotiations with the Winter Goddess broke down that Loki realized something...
His vaunted wisdom does not solve all problems.Wisdom alone will not secure the throne of king.Especially when facing a crazy woman, the other party will not give him a chance to play with rhetoric at all.He's going to have to figure something out.Until that revelation was revealed, he either left Asgard for refuge.Or find a way to fix it before things ferment."
Urgent report from Niflheim!"
Wearing armor and a heroic female general, Sif strode into the main hall of the Golden Palace.She had an urgent letter from Niflheim in her hand.The Golden Palace guard handed the letter to Loki, who was seated on the throne and was currently Odin's spokesman.The latter took the letter with a blank face.But after just one look, his eyes narrowed."
Monsters rushing out of dreams have taken over the city of Niforheim?"
Loki looked at the message in the urgent report, he looked at Siv in surprise, and he asked, "Is this something that happened suddenly?"
I didn't hear any news before. ”"Yes, it happened suddenly."
Sif replied earnestly and solemnly: "The regiment currently deployed in Muspelheim has set up a defensive line between Niforheim and the Land of Fire, and has taken in a group of refugees who have fled from the city. ”"According to the information sent back from the front, the situation is bad.""
In just a few days, we have lost several important cities, and to make matters worse, the refugees have no idea what has hit them."
The general said: "The poor people were terrified, and they kept saying, 'There are monsters in dreams.'" ”"Dream...", Loki placed the emergency on the table.He rubbed his chin with the eternal spear that represented the king's power.As a skilled spellcaster, Loki also has a deep understanding of the occult, and he knows that dreams are often associated with mystical things.And those terrifying spirits in the sea of light often exert influence on the real world through sleep.Perhaps, this is a typical spirit invasion.Things like this aren't common in the wizarding world of Asgard, but they're not uncommon either.In the history of the Divine Realm, there have been many records of spirit invasions."
Is there any news from the Rune Tower in Niforheim?"
Loki asked again."
Nope."
Sif replied, "We contacted the Rune Tower as soon as possible, but nothing came back.We suspect that the Rune Tower in Niflheim may have been...""
Hmm," Loki nodded.He wanted to say that this matter would be handled by the Great Rune Tower of the Queen of Heaven, and that the magic side of the matter would be left to the professionals.But just seconds later, Loki changed his mind again.Maybe...
He could take this opportunity to leave Asgard without attracting anyone's attention.Wait until the events of the Winter Box are over and come back.Taking a step back, outside of Asgard, Loki would have plenty of freedom to do something to make up for or solve the theft of the Winter Box.It would be too passive to stay in Asgard when his contract with Laufey could be exposed at any time.Loki's eyes narrowed, thinking about the feasibility of this matter.Soon, he made a decision."
This thing looks serious."
Loki said to Siv seriously, "My queen mother has been taking care of my father lately, and she may not have much time to deal with this matter, so I'll go." ”"Huh?"
Sif blinked, and she looked at Loki in surprise.In her heart, she never felt that Loki was someone who would take the initiative to solve problems.Actually, in the old days.Once Loki is faced with difficulties, he will either seek Thor's help or choose to run away.That's why people don't like him.Ever since he was a kid, he has always been in trouble and left the mess to everyone to solve."
Why are you looking at me like that?
Siff. ”Loki stood up from his throne and said to Sif "Do you think I'm going to sit here and watch my people suffer and be indifferent?"
”"No, Loki."
Sif shook her head, and she said calmly, "It's just that this decision doesn't look like you'd make."
I thought you'd push things on somebody else, like it used to be. ”"It's a magical thing."
Loki waved the Eternal Spear in his hand, and said, "It will be a problem for you to do it, no matter how strong the generals are, they will not be the opponents of a mysterious spirit, and I am better at magic, so it is appropriate for me to deal with it." ”"Besides, people grow."
Loki blinked, and the handsome prince with a smooth face said sincerely, "My father, my brother Thor, what they did in the past has taught me a lot. ”"I know you don't like me because I don't have responsibility, but if I want to do something great, I have to learn from my father and my brother."
Loki looked at the Eternal Spear in his hand, and he asked softly, "Will you help me?"
Siff...
Uh, sister-in-law?
”Loki's title was very useful to Sif.The female general waved her hand.She thought for a few seconds and said to Loki, "I was going to go to Niflheim myself, Loki. ”"But now that His Royal Highness the Prince has taken the initiative to ask for help, then I will hand over my guard to you, Your Highness...
They will conquer all enemies for you!
”"Good!"
Loki nodded, he summoned the Golden Palace guards, and commissioned the guards to tell the Queen of Heaven what had happened in Niflheim, and then he left the Golden Palace with Sif's guards in their hands with the Eternal Spear, and gathered a group of rune guards from the Great Rune Tower.Loki rode on a snow-white heavenly horse and crossed the Rainbow Bridge to Niforheim.Goalkeeper Heimdall didn't stop Loki.Rocky is famous.Coupled with the terrible situation of Niflheim, he really needs the assistance of a master magician.By all accounts, Loki had no problem getting to Niflheim.Loki chose to escape, and he made up his mind that he would not return until the events in the Winter Box were over.This evasion is shameful though ...
But it tends to be really useful.———————————— "boom" a colorful pillar of light fell from the sky, tearing through the air and clouds, and falling on a mountain city in Niflheim.It is located on the ridge of a majestic snow-capped mountain, and is a large castle in the Asgardian style, from which you can faintly see the land of fire...
That is, the scenery of Muspelheim.It is the land of fire, and Surtr, the king of the Flame Giants, rules the world.The flame giant who is said to have caused Ragnarok and destroyed Asgard is full of hatred for the Domain.However, after being defeated by Odin more than a thousand years ago and taking away the eternal fire, the sacred object of the Fire Country, it lost its power to cause chaos, and even the Fire Nation with it became devastated.Over the years, the Land of Fire has been peaceful, at least much more reassuring than Jotunheim."
Pop" Loki stepped out of the rainbow bridge and stepped on a pile of scattered red leaves.This brought Loki to a halt.He lowered his head and looked at the fallen leaves that had been trampled beneath his feet.The red leaves looked like maple leaves, but Loki could recognize them, they were the leaves of a plant in Niflheim, which was supposed to be evergreen.The leaves are as if they have been roasted by fire, as if they have lost all their activity, have been drained of water, and will become splinters all over the ground when lightly pressed.Loki looked up in surprise.Above him, above the lonely castle, dense black vines intertwined like a dark red cobweb.The vines twisted, tearing apart the flags that had been hanging in the city, and the fluttering flocs swayed in the wind, blocking the sunlight above the clouds.The dappled light and shadow are projected onto the ground in the interlacing of these vines, reflecting the pale and ominous buildings.The vines themselves were like dead wood limbs left behind by the fire, and the trunks of the trees were covered with dark red charms, extremely ominous."
Odin, what's going on here?"
A female guard with a rune staff chanting the name of the god-king, the city in front of her looked a little too terrifying.Loki didn't look back, his brow furrowed.He sensed that something was wrong, and he made a gesture to keep the team going.As the crowd marched towards the center of the city, red leaves kept falling above their heads, as if it were a fiery phantom, but the whole city was empty.The stalls in the streets, the open doors in the city, and the blood-stained streets and alleys.The Asgardians who came to their aid couldn't help but clench their weapons.The bravest of them all stood on end, and there seemed to be many pairs of eyes watching them in this silent city."
Something is wrong—" Loki's brow furrowed the deeper he walked into the city.Something is wrong with this city.As a powerful spellcaster, the uneasiness in Loki's heart grew stronger.After several minutes, they came to the Rune Tower.The rune tower built on the magic node in the mountains of Niforheim is still as magnificent as ever.Beyond the walls of the tower were dotted with surging runes of rune, and golden light shrouded the tower like a night light."
Thank goodness, this tower hasn't fallen yet..."
One of the warriors beside Loki looked at the lighted rune tower in front of him, a smile on his face, and stepped forward to push open the tower's door.But just as he reached out his hand, Loki suddenly swung the Eternal Spear in his hand and struck the warrior in the arm."
Come back!"

Loki stepped back, he looked around, a rune magic in his hand.In the glow of green light, the rune tower in front of me, everything in front of me, distorted like a shattered image."
It's a dream!"
Loki shouted, "We're in a creature's dream...""
Odin is on top, it's dragging the city into a nightmare...""
Stand back!
Fast!
”Loki's reminder came just right, and the samurai who was the first to reach out took a step back blankly, only to see the rune tower in front of him shatter like glass.The swirling halo was like a big mouth with sharp teeth open, frantically pumping out the light of everything around it.Loki casts spells with the other rune guards, holding up a shield that envelops everyone in it."
It's waking up!"
Loki looked at the changes that were taking place in front of him, and he whispered, "Get ready for battle!"
”The whole city was turned upside down at this moment.The sky shattered, the earth collapsed, like invisible hands swaying in a sandy city, knocking down all the buildings that were still intact.Dreams are crumbling.Perhaps it was the arrival of Loki and his party that disturbed the evolving dream world, and in the collapse of everything, the real world was once again separated from the dream.After tens of seconds of chaos, the real situation in the city is exposed to everyone.Vine...
Vines were everywhere, black, twisted, with dark red spells, that had completely destroyed the city.Vines live in symbiosis with the ruins, and the Asgardians of the city walk through the vine-filled ruins like a group of silent walking corpses.There were no wounds on their bodies, and not a single one died.But they can't be called alive either...
The souls in these shells have been lost in dreams and cannot extricate themselves.In front of Loki's eyes, the rune tower was tightly wrapped in these dark red vines.The vines emerged from the masonry like dying pythons, enveloping the magical building.The glow of magic shone on the vines, like a living creature breathing.The dream and the present world mingled in this place for a moment, then separated.Only the ruins of the catastrophe remained.Loki looked at the shattered city in front of him, and he clenched the Eternal Spear in his hand.He looked back at the others and said, "Guys, we...
It's late. ”()
