But there was one thing.
Loki was currently locked up in Asgard's prison!
Because Loki had secretly released Frost Giants into Asgard, nearly destroying Jotunheim, and then went to Midgard to wreak havoc.
This series of actions had completely violated the laws of Asgard.
Therefore, after Odin had judged Loki, he had thrown him into prison.
A full one hundred years!
It was worth mentioning that, unlike the original Loki who successfully launched the Battle of New York and was sentenced to life imprisonment.
This time, because everyone had stopped him in advance, nipping the Battle of New York in the bud, Loki's punishment was much lighter than before.
But even so, counting the time, when the Dark Elves invaded, Loki would definitely still be locked up in prison!
That Loki from another universe, who nearly conquered Midgard, is going to have an even longer sentence!
So, the question is:
How did Loki, while in prison, manage to exile his father, Odin? And how did he impersonate Odin and rule over Asgard? Did Loki escape? Considering Loki's status in Asgard and his cunning...
It doesn't seem all that strange that he could pull something like that off.
So, Thor naturally made a decision: he would keep a close eye on Loki from now on! He wouldn't give Loki a chance to escape! Even though he was already fifteen hundred years old, yes, judging by Loki's behavior, he was still a mischievous kid!
The more baffling thing is that Loki, after exiling Odin, couldn't even find him.
It was Doctor Strange who came to the rescue at a critical moment, and the brothers finally found Odin.
Thinking back to the meeting between the two of them and Doctor Strange... that was interesting.
Thor was one thing; after all, Thor wasn't proficient in magic. But Loki was a master sorcerer! And yet, he was played like a fiddle by Doctor Strange!
"Haha, if it wasn't for Thor stopping them, those two would have been at each other's throats, right?"
"Judging by their respective strengths, Loki really isn't a match for Doctor Strange."
"All Loki has is his Illusionary Doppelganger, isn't it? But Doctor Strange can create actual, physical clones!"
"Completely crushes Loki's fake ones!"
Ugh!
Speechless!
Utterly speechless!
Thor really didn't know what to say.
He just wanted to go back to Asgard and give Loki a good smack on the head.
"Can't you be a little more reliable, you bear?!"
Loki exiled Odin to become king, and nearly ruined Asgard. Fine, whatever. But at least you should have cared about Odin, right?
Turns out, this bear just tossed Odin to Midgard and completely ignored him?
Outrageous!
This is really too much!
Thor instinctively felt a twinge of anger.
Especially after reading the diary, which described how he and his brother needed help from Midgardians to find their father. The God of Thunder felt ashamed.
Embarrassing!
However, judging by the diary's tone, it seemed his brothers' encounter with Doctor Strange wasn't exactly harmonious?
Did they, Thor and Loki, get played by that Doctor Strange?
What a joke!
That diary owner must be exaggerating!
Even if the diary repeatedly mentioned how powerful Doctor Strange was, he was Odin's son, Thor!
What was Doctor Strange anyway?
Well, Loki's strength was indeed inferior to his, Thor's.
Loki was, after all, Thor's brother. How bad could he really be?
"Doctor Strange, as expected!"
The playboy in front of another diary couldn't help but exclaim.
The Illusionary Doppelganger of Loki, the playboy had seen it before. Honestly, if it weren't for modern technology like Jarvis completely countering this move, it would be really difficult to deal with.
For most people, Loki's magic was undoubtedly very tricky.
But in the end, the doppelgangers Loki created were all fake! If even the fake ones were this strong, what about the real thing?
Tony's scalp tingled just thinking about it.
He hadn't expected Doctor Strange to have such a breathtaking method.
One could only say he was worthy of being a great mage from Kamar-Taj.
[As for other methods besides the Illusionary Doppelganger? Well, let's not talk about it!]
[I feel like only the Old Loki who was imprisoned by the TVA could go toe-to-toe with Doctor Strange.]
[That guy can even open portals at will, just like Doctor Strange, and he's even more convenient about it.]
[After all, Doctor Strange needs the Sling Ring to open portals.]
[Especially the Illusionary Doppelgangers created by Old Loki, they're much stronger than Loki. They're not just illusions anymore, they're almost real.]
[The fact that they could fool Purple Potato is the best example!]
[In his universe, the one Purple Potato choked to death was just a doppelganger, not the real Loki. Can you believe it?]
[Even during the Loki brawl, Old Loki casually created three Lokis who could all fight.]
"So, Loki becomes this strong when he gets old?"
Thor's lips couldn't help but curve into a smile.
He felt like his unreliable brother had finally redeemed himself.
Opening a space portal at will?
Amazing!
This kind of magic was among the most top-tier in the entire universe.
Even his mother, Frigga, couldn't do it.
Or rather, couldn't do it easily.
It required a lot of preparation beforehand.
Just like when Odin used Dark Energy to send him to Midgard.
The only way to freely teleport through space is with the Bifrost.
But that Old Loki could do it "freely."
That was incredible.
As for creating a doppelganger to be killed by Thanos, fooling him in the process, that was even more astonishing to Thor.
Could Loki's doppelgangers really reach that level?
You see, Loki's current doppelgangers, while realistic enough to be almost indistinguishable, were still limited to the "non-touch" stage.
Once physical contact was made, it would immediately be discovered that it was an illusion with no substance.
But that Old Loki?
Thanos had strangled him and didn't even realize it was fake!
That was truly amazing.
Could it be that the Loki back then had created, not an illusionary doppelganger, but a real, physical one?
"Otherwise, how did you trick Thanos?"
"Even during a Loki free-for-all..."
"Wait a minute!"
"What the hell?"
"A Loki free-for-all?"
The diary had indeed mentioned something about a bunch of Lokis.
The TVA captured more than just Thor's brother; they were Lokis from various parallel universes.
But why would a bunch of Lokis have a free-for-all?
Shouldn't they have teamed up to rebel against the TVA, to fight against the TVA?
Why would they fight amongst themselves?
Thor felt a bit exasperated.
However, the diary didn't elaborate on why those Lokis were fighting each other, so Thor naturally wouldn't know.
But could Old Loki's three Illusionary Doppelgangers actually fight?
That was too shocking!
Able to trick Thanos and also capable of fighting? Who would believe those weren't real?
So, his troublesome brother would become so powerful in the future?
Not bad, not bad!
Thor finally felt a little relieved.
[The illusion is extremely realistic, but the Old Loki's immense magic power is also astonishing.]
[He can even use magic to create an entire Asgard!]
[At this rate, how many doppelgangers can he create?]
[To fight a Loki like this, perhaps only Doctor Strange, who cultivates the "Darkhold" and awakens the Eye of Agamotto, can do it?]
[The Eye of Agamotto can see through the truth and soul of all things, making it the nemesis of Loki's magic.]
"This is... a bit exaggerated, isn't it!"
Thor subconsciously swallowed, truly shocked by the diary's spoilers.
An entire Asgard!
Thor, having grown up in Asgard, naturally knew how vast it was, and that's why he was genuinely surprised.
This was simply unbelievable!
What immense divine power would be required to accomplish such a feat?
It seemed to rival even his father's current power.
Old Loki was this powerful?
At this level, it wouldn't just be the top tier in the Nine Realms, but also in the entire universe.
Then came the question.
If Loki, who wasn't as strong as him, could become this powerful in the future, what about him, Thor?
Wouldn't he become a cosmic giant?
The God of Thunder began to daydream.
"The Darkhold!"
Tony, in front of another diary, couldn't help but murmur the name.
The diary had just mentioned it; it was a magical book on the same level as the Book of the Vishanti.
It was also suspected to be black magic, which was the opposite of white magic.
However, the diary didn't provide much more information about the book.
But now it seemed, would the people who cultivated this magical book awaken the "Eye of Agamotto"?
The diary mentioned this name, which seemed profound and mysterious, for the first time. It looked very impressive.
It should be an extraordinary eye.
Even though the journal mentioned seeing through the truth of everything and souls, Tony didn't think that ability was all that impressive.
It didn't quite match his expectations for the Eye of Agamotto.
But, who knew what other uses the Eye of Agamotto had? Perhaps seeing through Loki's illusions was just one of its abilities?
In any case.
Tony wouldn't dare underestimate the Eye of Agamotto in the slightest.
There's just one thing, the price of awakening the Eye of Agamotto is a bit too high, or rather, the risk is too great.
Practicing the Darkhold isn't the problem; the key is that after practicing it, one can use Dreamwalking to traverse the multiverse.
And once you do that, it will trigger an Incursion!
Just like Doctor Strange.
[He did indeed use Dreamwalking to resolve the crisis brought about by the Scarlet Witch, but it also triggered an Incursion!]
[He was also sought out by his future wife, Dormammu's niece.]
[Hopefully, those two can perfectly resolve that Incursion.]
[Otherwise, Universe-199999 will collide directly with another universe.]
"Dreamwalking?"
Tony's pupils contracted slightly, and a thoughtful look involuntarily appeared on his face.
The diary had previously mentioned that the corrupted Scarlet Witch had once slaughtered through the multiverse, even crossing universes to completely wipe out the Illuminati of Universe-838.
So, was it possible that the corrupted Scarlet Witch had used Dreamwalking? In other words, was it possible that the corrupted Scarlet Witch had studied the Darkhold?
The playboy thought this was quite possible.
This coincided with the speculation that the Darkhold was a kind of dark magic, which could also explain why there was an entire chapter in the Darkhold dedicated to the Scarlet Witch.
Of course, it also better explained the prefix "blackened."
Was it because she had studied dark magic like the Darkhold that the Scarlet Witch had become "blackened"? So if that was the case, would the Scarlet Witch also awaken the Eye of Agamotto? After a moment of thought, Tony put those thoughts aside and refocused his attention on the diary.
He was immediately and severely shocked.
Incursion!
What was an Incursion?
Judging by the literal meaning, it was like two universes, like two planets, colliding directly with each other? Hiss! So, universes could actually collide with each other? Why would using Dreamwalking trigger a collision between two universes!
The playboy was truly dumbfounded.
He'd never expected anything like this, even though the diary had hinted at it, he still couldn't comprehend it.
It was clearly beyond the scope of his current understanding.
No theory could explain it.
Of course, that wasn't the most crucial part.
The most critical question was, what would happen if an Incursion truly occurred? The answer was so obvious, so logical, that Tony didn't dare to delve too deeply into it.
Perhaps the two universes would simply shatter? Were the consequences of Dreamwalking really this severe?
The Darkhold was truly a dangerous book of magic!
But judging by the diary, Doctor Strange practiced the Darkhold to solve the crisis brought about by the Scarlet Witch.
Whether this crisis referred to a black-hearted witch slaughtering her way through the multiverse, the diary didn't say, so Tony didn't know.
But, what's with Dormammu's niece?
Dormammu, wasn't that the dimensional demon who tried to devour Earth but was defeated by Doctor Strange?
From this perspective, Dormammu was undoubtedly an enemy of Earth, an enemy of Doctor Strange.
So how did it end up that Dormammu's niece became Doctor Strange's wife?
What the hell is going on here?
First, Star-Lord hooked up with Purple Potato's daughter, and then Doctor Strange hooked up with Dormammu's niece.
It seems these future Avengers are quite the players.
