The Death Knell

Afterwards, Loki went to the Golden Palace to meet Frigga.

His mother held his hand and told him many things.

But all Loki's energy was used to keep himself from crying, and he couldn't even remember what Frigga said to him.

"I want to see my father."

Loki lowered his head and stated his request. If he continued like this, his determination would be shaken. He could not stay here for a long time, nor could he tell what would happen in the future.

Not to mention the ending where everyone could be reduced to ashes.

"He's not in now."

Frigga showed a troubled expression because the fake Odin went to hell.

"No, I mean the real Odin, not the previous one, I already understand."

At the end of his life, Loki finally understood a lot. If everything was connected to Ragnarok, Odin should be sleeping.

The one who was running around and grilling meat on the Yggdrasil tree before was more like the old Loki of the future.

Maybe it's old Loki's illusion?

However, Loki was a little envious of his future self. He also wanted to be the first person to grill meat using the World Tree, but he never had the courage to take action, and he would never have the chance in the future.

Frigga looked at her son. She reached out and touched his hair, as if thinking for a moment, while Gullweger just sat quietly aside and secretly hid the laptop.

Could it be that Loki found out about this?

"You are a little strange today, but since you already know it, I won't hide it from you. I will take you to Odin's Sleep."

"good."

Loki was also familiar with Gullweger, but he didn't even look at her after entering the door. He looked at the table in the room and the curtains, but not at the woman.

He didn't know what role Gurwig played in Old Rocky's script.

Frigga took his hand, just like she had done countless times in the past, so warmly, and she led him into Odin's Sleep.

But Odin was still holding the spear and lying on the golden longship.

Loki originally wanted to say something to Odin, but after seeing him, he didn't know where to start.

Although not an omniscient and omnipotent god, does Odin know about this? Do you know what kind of outcome your son will face?

He looked at Odin, reached out and touched Odin's beard, and then touched the eternal spear that he could not lift.

He hated Odin's style of always being the head of the family, but when something happened, Loki still easily wanted to find Odin to solve it.

Although Odin would imprison him every time after solving the problem, but not this time, there was no chance.

This is a problem that only Loki can solve.

The future self is too powerful, even stronger than the current Odin, not in terms of strength, but in terms of the layout that people cannot escape.

"It's okay, mother. I feel relieved to see that you are all well."

"Oh, then you go and play with Thor, and remember to eat."

"I will, mother, I resign."

Loki bowed with a smile on his face, turned around and left Odin's Sleep, but when he walked out of the door, he activated his invisibility and ran towards the location of the cave.

He had said all his goodbyes and it was time to face his fate, and he didn't want others to see him crying in the Golden Palace.

"Are you sure this is right?"

Two crows flew from outside the door and landed on Frigga's shoulders, telling her what happened in the fairy palace. Odin was sitting up on the bed.

A burst of rainbow-like brilliance receded, and Odin who got up turned into Frigga, and Frigga who had just led Loki through the door revealed his true appearance.

The one-eyed old man has always been there. He is a shapeshifter, and he is very good at imitating his familiar wife. Not only his appearance, but also his thoughts and speech can be imitated.

Until now, there is no need to cover it up anymore.

He walked to the edge of the longship, said a word to the Eternal Spear, took it back in his hand, and then asked the air beside him.

Frigga didn't know why Odin asked her to pretend to be him and have to deal with such a scary guy as Deathstroke. That mortal was like a robber.

But just when she was about to answer, a golden spiral portal suddenly opened at the head of the bed, and a strange woman stepped out of it with a gentle smile on her face.

The person Odin was asking was not the Mother of the Gods.

"I've looked at millions of future timelines and this is the only option. Both Loki and Deathstroke are necessary if our world is to be saved in a future where multiple forces collide."

Odin picked up his helmet and cloak from the ship and regained his former vigor, but when he spoke, it was as if he was admitting defeat.

"Using the world as a chessboard to examine all the possibilities in the future? Master Gu Yi, I will never play chess with you again."

"You must have thought so earlier, right?"

Ancient One smiled and nodded to Frigga, but then a series of magic was thrown out, cleaning memory, body control, and dimensional exploration and shielding.

There is no light or shadow, silence.

Frigga's level of magic was nothing in front of Ancient One.

Odin watched the controlled Frigga sleepwalking out of Odin's Sleep, and closed the door for the two of them. He was just silent, and Ancient One just stood there silently, with his hands behind his back.

Odin and Ancient One were actually the ones who knew all along, and this was always a deal.

The Ancient One allowed Loki to control the timeline and the layout of the earth, while Odin allowed Deathstroke to move in the heavens. This is an exchange.

Even the amulet in Deathstroke's hand that can shield Heimdall's sight was given to him by Odin himself, and the forced recall of Gin was also given to him by Odin himself.

In order for Deathstroke to go to Asgard.

Ancient One also pushed along and gave Deathstroke a task, an imaginary enemy named Ragnarok and Orochi.

It can't be regarded as an imaginary enemy. The big snake did run away, but Gu Yi was not unaware. There was nothing on earth that could be hidden from her.

Gu Yi didn't lie, but there were some things she didn't say.

She couldn't see the death knell clearly and couldn't control it. It was better to hide some things.

Loki in the future wants to release the Orochi to muddy the waters, which is good. The Orochi is neither strong nor weak, just at the level that Deathstroke can deal with.

Neither the Sorcerer Supreme nor the God-King exist in Loki's story in the future, so this also gives them a chance.

Odin is hated by Loki, so he has no role in the story at all, and he is still alive today and has become an outsider.

The Ancient One is because Loki didn't know her existence from beginning to end. The time stone can prevent her from being arranged by anyone, and she is also an outsider.

As bystanders, they could clearly see the book in Loki's hand in the future. Before the Revealer began to reveal the entire story, when Loki was writing the story in the future, Ancient One had already read the entire book using the Time Stone.

The plan came from this, and the Supreme and the King hit it off.

One of them hopes that Loki will become the savior of Asgard, and the other hopes that Deathstroke can protect the entire universe, so they simply use the opportunity to weave a big scheme and include everyone in it.

But for this reason, Odin must have a bad attitude towards Loki in the future to ensure that he will not be included in the storybook today.

The Ancient One must also make Deathstroke the Supreme Mage to ensure that the future Supreme Mage will not rewrite today's history.

This is the price for both of them.

"He is my son."

"He is my successor."

"If they knew the truth, they would definitely hate us."

"Whether it is a screenwriter or an actor, it is difficult to get out of the script when they are in the story. The limitations of their vision prevent them from seeing. Maybe one day Loki will be able to see clearly when he walks out of the story, and Deathstroke will be verified from other worlds, but in this world There is another story on top of Loki’s story, and his own story is also written by existence from another dimension.”

"Oh, we are all poor dolls controlled by invisible hands, but that's it. Sooner or later, this day will come. Loki comes from the future, pursuing change. In fact, this is the biggest constant. Loki is still Loki. This That’s what he would do.”

The two exchanged a few more words calmly, and then there was a long silence.

The Ancient One could not come forward, and Odin was thinking about how to continue the play.

Although the two have slightly different positions, one is for the future of Asgard and the other is to protect the main dimension, they can cooperate and win-win.

It is much easier for one protector to make a deal with another protector than to make a deal with some devil or evil god. In order to protect the world that the two of them know well, they are willing to do anything at any cost.

This is what the Supreme Mage and God King should do. This matter has nothing to do with right or wrong. This world has never been about good or evil.

The fire in the fireplace was still burning, and the two of them just sat on the edge of the boat, quietly watching the flames stir.

"So, Loki, are you done?"

Young Loki returned to the hole under the pond, and the green flames made way for him. He lowered his head and silently walked back to old Loki.

The old self was still looming in the flames. He crossed his arms and asked with concern.

"Totally, what's next?"

Loki answered him, and at the same time raised his head to question himself, who was facing him across the fire.

Old Loki lowered his head, with a complicated expression on his wrinkled face: "At the end of the play, if you have seen the movie and know how the movie is shot, it can also be understood that your part has been completed. This may Make you feel better."

"I haven't seen the movie and I'm not asking about that, that's just my end point, you know what I'm asking about."

Loki put the topic back calmly, that was not what he cared about.

Old Loki raised an arm, held his chin and thought for a while. Loki couldn't see his expression clearly, and could only hear the voice of his other self.

"Ah, this, if I remember correctly, the crown no longer exists, and the throne is still empty. Mephisto's attempt is just to entertain the public. In the world, there will be family reunions, love births, and those who are depressed. There will be a rise, those in high positions will fall, a new future, and there will be heroes guarding it. You will be in the eternal garden, with familiar and strange lovers forever."

Old Loki spoke each word smoothly, making sure Loki heard it clearly.

"This is the end of the play."

"" Loki took a deep breath, and he squeezed out a voice from his nasal cavity, as if he was sneering: "That is a beautiful lie, but the truth will not be like this. I will disappear forever. We are far from telling the story like that." The strength to carry on.”

"Yes, it's a shame. It's time to swallow this lie."

The black magpie flew to young Loki and landed between his hands, staring at him with dark eyes.

The Revealer asked it numerous times who it really was.

The old blind man knew it, it was Loki, it was a lie.

"I thought there would be a game." Young Loki brought it in front of him. He could smell the feathers, and a familiar feeling enveloped his whole body.

"There has always been a game, but it's just not between us, I am you, so the game is omitted. Anyway, the banker always wins in the end."

Old Loki answered him kindly. He flipped the wrist that was holding his chin and motioned for Little Loki to use it.

Young Loki bit off the black magpie's neck, and at the same time, the surrounding flames began to twist, and the image of old Loki rushed into his body like light smoke.

As the mouth filled with blood and feathers, the tears in Loki's eyes gradually dried up. After a few minutes, he spit out the magpie feathers and walked towards the stone platform.

These feathers seemed to be rapidly weathering. They turned white the moment they landed on the ground, and were blown all over the sky by the air flow stirred up by the flames.

He threw his helmet into the flames, took off the one on the stone platform and put it on, wiping the blood from his face with the back of his hand.

"Oh, damn it, I even lied to myself!"

He spurned himself in disgust, but not only his young self, but he himself had no other choice.

Young Loki really saw through him at the end, he couldn't finish the story at all, he didn't have that kind of power.

The God of story can only compose the beginning, but cannot write the ending.

He didn't know what to do.

The only way is to find someone who knows what to do.

He adjusted his cloak and walked slowly out of the ring of fire. The dark green flames licked his clothes and skin, as if celebrating the coronation of the new king.
