The Death Knell

Is the black magpie who meets the Revealer the same one from before? Only Loki knows the answer, but he won't tell it. He prefers others to guess.

He didn't care if anyone wanted to guess, but it was always fun to prepare more riddles.

But when the time came and the Revealer began to reveal Loki's own story as ordered, these words were able to appear on paper and be seen by unknown bystanders.

So if the onlookers Loki spoke of really existed, they could have seen where the second black magpie went.

It went to Mephisto's hell, carrying a letter signed "Your dear old friend, Loki" that blended concepts such as time, story, place, and characters, and was more like a script than a contract.

This concept is not a purely literary factor, but a world concept that is connected with the world. The rules of this world are dissolved in this letter.

After handing the letter to a demon, the second black magpie plunged into the magma on the ground like a moth to a flame. It turned into a ball of green flames and disappeared in a flash.

When the devil handed the letter to the devil, the bright red devil looked at the conditions in the letter, felt the power contained in it, and showed a strange smile.

'oh? Isn't it interesting? ’

The Demon King said so. Loki, who claimed to be an old friend, sent the Maid of Destruction as a deposit, and promised to help Mephisto obtain something that would help him become Satan in the future.

Satan is a title that any hell lord or demon king wants. It represents the ladder to control all the rules of hell and reach a higher stage.

Mephisto didn't believe Loki. In his impression, it was just an Asgardian cub, no, a Frost Giant cub. Trust is folly, trusting others is a dead end in this world, especially for the devil.

However, for some reason, the Demon King did not hesitate to appear. His army was endless, and there happened to be something he needed to verify.

For example, whether the Maid of Destruction is real, what confidence Loki has to negotiate terms with him, and why the successor of the Supreme Mage went to the heaven.

Life in hell is boring. No matter how miserable the screams are, there will always be a day when the devil gets tired of it. And a mysterious deal? Mephisto loves deals.

.....................

The third black magpie went to see little Zemo. In Loki's story, old Zemo died early, killed by the Red Skull's death spore bomb.

And for Ozawa to come out as soon as possible is the development that Rocky wants.

The young and smart Avenger, although the script is cliché but classic, such a person is easier to control.

Because Zemo has no story in the past, no one knows his past personality and thoughts, which makes it easier to create a character.

Loki can compile the subsequent story without even using his brain, allowing him to develop on his own along the established trajectory.

But that was not enough at this time. The black crow instilled a lot of thoughts and knowledge into Zemo through verbal suggestion and hypnosis. It manipulated his body in disguise and obtained the Stone of Destiny that had been sent to him by future Loki. Then Zemo was asked to come forward and contact the daughter of the Red Skull.

The crazy woman released the serpent, following Zemo's instructions.

Next, Zemo led the army into Asgard. Black Crow, or Loki, was the real leader. He served as the king of Asgard in other stories in the future.

Therefore, he can even create all kinds of secret passages out of thin air, and with Madam Lianhua's ability, they can pass everywhere without hindrance.

Only after Zemo completes the casting of the Stones of Destiny, can Loki send these stones to the ancient times in the future, where they will be discovered by Odin under the World Tree and become heirlooms of the Asgard.

Until one day, these stones will save Thor's life.

So when the crow left Xiao Zemo's body and turned into a wisp of smoke and dissipated, Xiao Zemo only found that the 'voice of the heart' that had been talking to him suddenly disappeared.

Then he felt the stinging pain on his face. He covered his face and sat under the tree, thinking about what happened in the past and why he had no memory.

Everything that happened in the past few days suddenly seemed like a dream. It was like he was sleepwalking and brought the army to the fairy palace. He did everything he remembered, but it seemed that it was not his intention.

He immediately realized that he was in danger and began to think about how to remedy the situation. Fortunately, he drank a kind of spring water for no reason before, and his mind was now very fast.

The fourth black magpie went to Surtur, its feathers smelling of burnt smell from the flames of the Fire Hell.

However, it told Surtur that his old friend Loki would bring Thor to him. All he needed was for the Fire Giant to send cannon fodder to Asgard and Vanaheim to do something. Using hostages, he could force Odin to invite Surtur. You go to Asgard to initiate Ragnarok.

The fire giant agreed, his confidence coming from strength.

Therefore, after Loki suddenly rescued Thor and his party, Surtur became so angry and cursed Loki because he felt deceived.

Not because of illusions, but because of lies.

Little did he know that young Loki knew nothing, and the Black Crow was the separated soul of old Loki, which came from the distant future, after the battle of Ragnarok.

When Surtur falls into the rage of being deceived and loses his cool, he can better attract the attention of all parties. This is also one of old Loki's plans.

The fifth bird went to Kang the Conqueror and gave the arrogant man a time coordinate and a temptation.

And Kang is just a warm-up actor. Loki wants to give a little hint and give the only uncontrollable Deathstroke in the story a direction to think about.

Yes, riddles are about time, always have been.

The mission of the sixth black magpie is simple.

It has been following Frigga. The old Loki wants to see his mother more and how good his mother was to his young self when he was young.

"Did you read what was written in the book just now?"

The old Loki raised one hand and flipped the other hand like turning the pages of a book, showing the story to the young Loki.

Unfortunately, Loki can't see anything now, he can only see darkness.

The other party's dead branch-like fingers danced out of thin air, as if they were silently mocking him.

"..."

Old Loki's game has already begun, and now he no longer needs to rewrite the story, but has to personally participate in it.

Because of one person, his story cannot be completely rewritten.

Loki can make the people around Deathstroke live like a court jester every day, tempting Deathstroke to complain or do all kinds of mischief.

He can also arrange some drama with Deathstroke, but he always seems to get rid of it.

He couldn't rewrite the dark character core of Deathstroke, who always seemed to correct himself and become darker.

Loki understood that Deathstroke was the same person as him, a person with a 'story'. No matter how he added drama to Deathstroke, he would only wake up halfway through the performance.

At some sensitive moments, Deathstroke will even leave this universe and go outside the Almighty Universe, putting Loki's plans on hold again and again.

For the sake of the future, Loki must die in person at this time. He needs an 'identity' in order to talk to Deathstroke.

He knew the ins and outs of Deathstroke, and Deathstroke also knew about him. The appearance of an old Loki was not as easy to gain trust as the young Loki.

Loki had previously arranged some silly dramas for his young self, just to leave the impression that Loki was stupid to Deathstroke. But the next time they meet, things will suddenly change...

"Young me, answer me, do you love your brother Thor?"

In the green flames, the figure of the old Loki floated with the flames, like a will-o'-the-wisp, and his sharp voice pierced the eardrums of his younger self.

"He? Arrogant, arrogant, stupid, it seems that any character flaws can be found in him, but he is my brother." Young Loki looked at his face and raised an eyebrow.

He annoyed Thor to death, but that was his brother.

"Balder." Old Loki said the name of the eldest son of God.

"It's different. Balder is brave, kind, gentle, and strong. He is a prince from a fairy tale. Everything is so perfect..."

"So he must die." The old Loki nodded. Balder's death was just an escape. The young Loki thought that Balder was completely dead, but the story that the old Loki arranged for Balder was not like this.

He knew how his younger self would answer. Many times a story only needs to be written down at the beginning, and the world will continue on its own.

And he just wanted to hear it from Loki himself.

Old Loki just wanted Balder to suffer and miss an opportunity. And now, luring Deathstroke to Limbo and getting him closer to the magical world is the goal.

"Must die." Loki looked at the smile on his old self's face, and also showed a distant smile: "I killed Balder. I only told Thor about this. He was naturally very angry, but in order to protect me , he hid everything from Odin, saying that he had lost his brother and didn’t want to lose his brother again.”

Loki's expression kept changing as he spoke. Although Thor was annoying and had many faults, he was not a suitable prince or king, but he was a good brother.

"Hehehe... Young me, with my rare naivety, do you really think Odin doesn't know? He is indeed not omniscient and omnipotent, but he knows most of the things in this world...including you. The little secret with Thor, and the truth that Balder is not dead. The struggle for succession is unavoidable in any dynasty. He just allowed Balder to temporarily withdraw from the game, and Balder himself never wanted to compete with you."

The old Loki put away the invisible book, crossed his arms again, and said lightly.

Young Loki frowned: "Damn it."

"Yes, he should die, but he can't die. He hasn't finished his role yet."

"What on earth do you want to tell me? We have gone through too many circles." Now Loki closed his eyes. The green flames made him feel very bad. He seemed to have remembered something from the past, but That's not his past.

The image of the old Loki shrank, and a stone platform rose from the ground. He took off the horned helmet on his head and placed it on the stone platform. His long black hair was spread over his shoulders.

"We can avoid Ragnarok. Do you want to let your mother survive? Let Thor survive? Get rid of the annoying Odin? And sit on the throne yourself?"

"What do you want with me now? Future, evil me."

"The future is right, but evil? Because of these flames? This is our favorite color, the same color as Leah's dress."

"Who is Leah?"

"Our lover, our mother's maid, the right hand of Hades, the lord of hell, our sister, guess which one she is?"

"I guess not at all, you're just interfering with my thinking."

"Hehehe..."

In the small underground space, the air vibrated slightly. The old Loki seemed very happy, as if he regarded this as a joke again.
