Ten minutes later, President Loki sat on a sofa on the side of the tent, holding his blood-soaked arm and gritting his teeth, saying:
"So, you mean that the stubborn female judge deliberately let us go, with the intention of letting us go against the Director of the Time Management Bureau for them?"
The other hand gradually lit up with light, and the healing magic spread up the arm.
The struggle with Helen had consumed a lot of the crocodile Loki's strength, so he did not directly bite off President Loki's arm, but only used his sharp teeth to pierce a few holes in Loki's arm. This level of injury can still be treated by magic treatment.
While healing himself, President Loki said contemptuously:
"Why should I listen to her orders and fight to the death with someone else? What's in it for me?"
"But now she has thrown you here, if you don't help her with the work, you may never be able to leave here..." Loki shook his head and said.
Looking at the glares of the other Lokis, Loki smiled and said, "Correct, I am an accomplice, but we are all Loki, we all understand ourselves, you don't need to use such means to coerce you, you won't do the work."
"The target of the Director of the Time Management Bureau is actually only the female Loki, we have no interest conflicts with him, even if we are trapped here, it is better than going to fight him, right?" said the black Loki.
"Of course, you can choose to stay here for the rest of your life, and the employees of the Time Management Bureau can do nothing about you, but is this place always so peaceful? You know better than me."
Loki did not look at the black Loki, but put his gaze on the old Loki. The old Loki pursed his lips and said, "It seems that the Time Management Bureau has sent you to the Material Room, and you have understood the situation here from there."
"In the time void, the dark clouds can never condense and dissipate, the storm coming from afar only foretells one thing..." The old Loki slowly stood up and walked to the tent door, looking out into the distance.
Suddenly, the mournful sound of the wind came from afar, and the dark clouds became thicker and thicker among the flying sands and stones, the originally gloomy sky completely turned pitch black, and the sudden cold made all the Lokis shiver.
"What is that?" President Loki's arm trembled a little, and the young Loki had already hidden in the corner of the tent.
"Aelios." The old Loki slowly uttered a name.
Everyone saw a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly light up at the end of the void's horizon, and then the thick dark clouds gathered into its huge body, with countless fragments of time and nebulae blinking among them.
In the howling wind, the old Loki shouted loudly, "Or you can call it the Spirit Storm! It is Odin's rival, the source of the power of Thor's Hammer, and its heart is the cemetery of the Space God!"
In a chant-like roar, the monster called Aelios had already approached the small tent, Sylvie stretched out her arms to shield her face and shouted, "It looks like it wants to eat us!!"
"Of course! Its mission is to devour all the Gods!" The old Loki's hand produced a scepter, and then he raised it high and slammed it onto the ground.
With a swoosh, the entire tent, along with all the Lokis inside, disappeared, and then appeared in a place far away from the dark clouds monster.
Moving from the plain to the mountain range, several Lokis walked out of the tent and looked at the distant sky, seeing the terrifying monster shape devouring everything in sight, and everyone's faces became heavy.
But at this time, Loki stared at the old Loki's face and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Aelios should have been summoned by you, right?"
The old Loki's expression didn't change at all, he just looked at Loki and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? What good would it do me to summon such a monster?"
"Because you want to take the initiative in the upcoming conversation, you want everyone to listen to your explanation and get the way to save themselves from you, so you naturally have to create a little crisis for everyone."
Loki walked up to the old Loki and looked at him, saying, "We are the same person, we understand ourselves best..."
But the old Loki suddenly showed a playful smile, he slowly lowered his head and shook it slightly, saying, "No... the only one who understands me may be you, and the other Lokis are just a bunch of stupid and self-righteous waste."
"You see, you're trying to use this kind of rhetoric to pull me into the same camp as you, but I'm sorry, next it's my turn to speak." Loki stepped back two steps and smiled.
"Provided you have something to say." The old Loki did not give in at all, he looked into Loki's eyes and said, "Do you know what Aelios is?"
Loki shook his head, but took out Thor's Hammer from his waist and said, "I don't need to know what it is, you just need to know that I'm the only Loki who can wield Thor's Hammer."
As soon as he finished speaking, all the Lokis turned their gaze to him, and Thor's Hammer emitted a glow, the tiny sparks of thunder shining along with the metallic luster, undoubtedly telling all the Lokis that this thing is the real deal.
The old Loki narrowed his eyes, but he still did not give up, but looked into Loki's eyes and asked, "What price did you pay to get Mjolnir?"
"No price, in my Space, Thor has already become the new king of Asgard, no war, no struggle, he has succeeded smoothly, and I am the prince of Asgard."
"So you have acknowledged your own failure?" The old Loki continued to push.
But Loki was not afraid at all, he stepped forward, staring straight into the old Loki's eyes and said, "Every Loki staying here is a failure, but the difference is, I have the courage to acknowledge my own failure, while some people are still dreaming of unrealistic fantasies."
The old Loki's face gradually darkened, but Loki went on to say, "You told Mobius that you've always wanted to go back to Asgard to find Thor, because you miss him, you want to see your elder brother again."
"But if you really loved him, you wouldn't have faked your death and left in the first place, a deserter who abandoned the honor of the Northern God doesn't need to talk nonsense here."
"Sizzle - Bang!"
A dazzling magic beam shot out from the tip of the old Loki's scepter, and Loki holding Thor's Hammer instinctively raised his arm to block it in front of his chest.
Instantly, Mjolnir emitted a soft golden glow, forming a shield that blocked the old Loki's attack.
The magic beam disappeared, and the old Loki put down his scepter in a daze, staring at the Thor's Hammer in Loki's hand, saying incredulously, "How is this possible... How can you use Mjolnir? This is impossible..."
Loki put down the hammer and stood up straight, looking at him and saying, "What's impossible? This thing is lent to me by Thor, he said I can use it, so naturally I can use it."
"You're talking nonsense!" The old Loki gritted his teeth and said, "Thor can't decide who can use Thor's Hammer, only Odin can!"
Loki frowned, a faint confusion showing between his eyebrows. Seeing his expression, the old Loki's gaze changed from disbelief to a more complex emotion, and he said, "... You don't know?"
"What should I know?"
The old Loki stood in place, took a few deep breaths, and tried to calm himself down. He threw the scepter aside and sat down dejectedly on the sofa, looking at Loki and saying, "Don't you know the origin of Aelios?"
The other Lokis also watched their confrontation, all feeling puzzled, and as the old Loki wanted to open his mouth, everyone slowly gathered around.
"The monster you saw composed of dark clouds is not actually called Aelios, its full name is the Spirit Storm."
"The Spirit Storm is the first storm that howls out of the void, and it is also called the 'Mother of Thunderbolts'."
"Many years ago, the Spirit Storm invaded Asgard, and Odin fought a fierce battle with it, finally emerging victorious."
"He used his own spear to shatter the storm, and sealed one of the fragments into the Urulu metal."
"Odin gave this special metal to the dwarves, and they forged it into a hammer, which is Mjolnir."
"The defeated God Storm did not disappear, and countless fragments still roam the Space. The Aelios we saw is a part of it, and it shares the same origin as Mjolnir..."
After saying this, the old Loki turned his gaze to Thor's Hammer, staring at it for a while, then shifted his gaze to Loki's face and said:
"It was Odin who defeated the Spirit Storm, and the Spirit Storm only acknowledges Odin as the strongest Thunderbolt in Space, so it is only under his control and will not submit to anyone else."
Loki was not sure if he saw a trace of jealousy in the old Loki's eyes, but soon he heard the old Loki continue:
"The saying that only the good and faithful can lift Thor's Hammer is actually because only those recognized by Odin can use this hammer."
"And if you can use it, it means..."
As the old Loki's words fell, Loki seemed to no longer hear other voices, the thunderous roar ringing in his ears, as if he was in the midst of a thunderstorm.
When he focused his attention on this hammer, he felt, beyond the ferocity, power and unstoppability, another subtle emotion.
Like the hazy sunset reflected on the armor on the battlefield with the clashing of swords and the endless cries, or the sound of the bagpipe containing nostalgia amidst the pounding of hooves and cannon fire.
Turning his head, Loki looked towards the distant horizon of the void, where there was only a hazy mist, but he seemed to be standing on the bridge of the Celestial Palace again.
When Loki closed his eyes, he saw Odin leading Thor away, their backs disappearing at the end of the bridge.
And when Loki opened his eyes again, he did not stare at the direction they left, but turned his head to look at the sky of Asgard.
The sunset that day was as beautiful as a painting, and the Celestial Palace under the sunset was shimmering with a golden glow, hazy and dreamlike.
What he did not see does not mean he never possessed it, what he did not notice does not mean it never came, what he did not hear does not mean it has always been silent, what he did not discover does not mean it was never there.
The All-Father Odin, the sun that shines eternally on Asgard, has bathed every pine and cypress in Asgard with its intense and bright light.
But this sun also has a moment when it is willing to set on the horizon, sending a gentle dusk to the moss that can never grow tall.
Loki thought, what he was seeing now was his first dusk, and if this was the only thing he had ever possessed, then there was no need for another dusk afterwards.
In the future, he would make the sun of Asgard never set, and the days and every tomorrow of the gods would be bright and glorious.
