"I miss you so much, brother!"
The moment he saw Loki, Thor rushed forward and hugged him tightly, squeezing him. The force of the embrace was so strong that Loki could faintly hear the creaking of his bones.
"Don't force me to stab you in the kidney, let me go first!" Loki gritted his teeth and said in Thor's ear with difficulty.
"You are still so out of tune, Loki. I thought you would be much more mature." Sif, dressed in military uniform, said to Loki, but her tone did not have the previous impatience and contempt.
"Won't you introduce her to us?" Sif's eyes fell on Sylvie beside Loki and asked tentatively.
"Sylvie. Of course, this is the name I changed myself. I think you're all familiar with my other name." Before Loki could even begin to introduce herself, Sylvie took the initiative to step forward and introduced herself, "I'm Loki."
"Loki?" Thor, who had let go of his brother, was a little dazed for a moment when he heard the familiar name. He looked at his brother in shock, as if asking him whether it was true or not.
Facing his brother's shocked look, Loki nodded fiercely with a malicious look and added, "It's just as you think, Loki, Loki."
"You from another universe? Honestly, I think she's a lot more appealing to me than you are." Sif raised an eyebrow. She disliked Loki, who was always prone to pranks and deception, yet was also quite weak in combat. Asgard values bravery and is a race steeped in martial virtue. Though a woman, her fighting prowess was not to be underestimated, even in Asgard. She sensitively sensed the warrior aura of Loki.
At least the beautiful Loki in front of me is not as delicate as her gender.
"What should I call her? Sister?" Thor had a headache. He couldn't even manage a younger brother, and he had an older sister who went against him. Now there was another younger sister. Was this going to drive him crazy?
"In fact, my sister-in-law can do it too." Loki said fearlessly.
Thor nodded with a smile on his face, but the smile suddenly froze on his face, as if he had absorbed too much energy for the first time, causing his body to feel extremely heavy and unable to move. He froze in place. He looked at his brother in panic.
Sif was also shocked by Loki's words. It seemed that she had never thought that Loki could have such a strong mentality and unique taste.
"Tell me, it's not what my brother thinks." Thor said in a dry voice, begging for mercy to Loki.
"No, it's just what you think." Loki gave a mischievous smile, which dealt another severe blow to Thor's heart.
"Falling in love with myself? That's really..." Sif shook her head, not finishing her words. But there was no doubt that Loki's actions this time had opened her eyes and had a certain impact on her heart.
But whatever! It's Loki, not Thor, right?
She would be uneasy if Thor fell in love with his self from another universe.
"I have nothing to do with him." Sylvie punched Loki in the eye, then turned around and made a righteous statement to Thor.
Thor looked at his brother, clutching his eyes, in shock, his hands clenching and unclenching. Logically, if someone hit his brother like that in front of him, he'd definitely react. But what if the one beating his brother was his sister, or Loki himself from another universe? What would he do?
After thinking for a moment, Thor decided to ignore it.
Sif's affection for Sylvie instantly soared. She'd been wanting to do this for a long time! She could tell Sylvie was angry and embarrassed, not simply rejecting him, but what did it matter? So far, the other person had garnered her more approval and affection than Loki.
"It's really interesting. It seems that the pressure I put on you is not enough. You can still laugh now." A proud and cold female voice came from behind.
Thor and his group's expressions changed. They turned around and saw the tall and cold-faced Hela walking towards them step by step. Beside her was a huge black wolf.
"Why are you here?" Thor instinctively wanted to find his hammer, but it was still in Asgard. Sif and Loki also seemed to have PTSD and immediately took up their positions.
"Do you want to fight me here? I don't mind." Hela ran her hands through her hair, and her hairstyle and clothes immediately changed into a fighting posture.
"Enough! Don't embarrass me here." A heavy, divinely powerful rebuke resonated like a bell in the minds of the tense Thor and his companions. Odin instantly appeared, holding his own Gungnir, and stopped his children, who seemed about to engage in a brawl.
"Father God!" Thor and Loki looked overjoyed, as if they had seen reinforcements.
Hela's expression darkened. She had wanted to draw her sword against Odin, but from the shock of energy she had just felt, she could sense that his strength had increased dramatically, far beyond her comprehension. This momentarily calmed her restless heart. Judging from his vitality, despite his age, his perceived vitality was like the sun in its prime, vibrant and vigorous. She didn't want to be imprisoned back in the underworld. While Odin's death would bring her complete freedom, with his current vitality, he feared his demise would be an indefinite wait.
"Your vision remains as poor as ever." Hela snorted, disarming her combat stance and returning to a demure demeanor. As long as she mastered the method to increase her power, and as long as her strength was strong enough, her rebellion would still come as expected.
"Go in." Odin was a little troubled by the relationship between his children, but then he thought about it and realized that he had already resigned and the divine power of Asgard was no longer under his control. Many of the powers that only the king of Asgard had had were also handed over, so he felt relieved.
The affairs of Asgard and the Nine Realms were now of little concern to him. He actually envied the Ancient One. Although there were conflicts of opinion among the mages in her lineage, everything was still under control. The young mage who had inherited the Sorcerer Supreme title might not be as tactful or astute in handling affairs, but his abilities were outstanding enough that the Ancient One didn't need to worry too much.
It was as if Ancient One had completely let go, never interfering in the affairs of any of the Supreme Sorcerer's lineage. But considering the other party's methods, perhaps he had already observed everything since he left office.
"It's been a long time since we last met. How are you, my allies?" At the table, Mephisto, wearing a silver-white bone mask, vividly demonstrated the four words "high-spirited".
Back then, someone had promised him a long-term payoff. He'd never imagined that in just a few decades, the Energy Bank had already established a stable structure and numerous profitable projects. This made Mephisto once again thankful for his original decision.
Although the original choice was based on greed.
"Odin, is this your daughter? That's great." Another energy-like human body like a ball of black mist sat in another seat. Its eyes, flashing with colorful light, looked at Hela and the others who were sitting behind Odin with satisfaction.
"Nick, the plans and scripts you recently submitted are a bit unsatisfactory. Have you been slacking off?" Nightmare, dressed in green, appeared and fixed his gaze on Nick in the other corner. He roared fiercely, "I gave you [money], you can't fool me with those defective products! My recent dream income has decreased a bit!"
"You're pushing things too hastily, and the version is updated too quickly. I suggest you slow down and give those planners some breathing time. They've been squeezed so hard that they have no inspiration at all." Nick, who was named, stood up with a wry smile on his face.
"I don't care, you and Luke promised me!" Nightmare's sharp voice sounded again.
"Seeing you're still so noisy, I'm relieved." Ancient One was leisurely brewing tea at her seat, a satisfied smile on her face. Beside her sat the current Sorcerer Supreme, Stephen Strange. Behind them sat two distinct factions of mages, led by Wong and Mordo.
"Do you have anything else to deal with? If not, the meeting is about to begin." Luke appeared in his seat. He put on a pair of glasses on his nose and glanced around through the lenses.
The surroundings suddenly became quiet. Even Nightmare temporarily sealed his mouth and stared at Luke who was holding a stack of documents in his hand.
"This meeting is to make a summary of the past and plan for the future. This includes the redistribution of shares based on contributions," said Luke.
Upon hearing this, the participants all became serious.
"I assume you've already seen, or even explored, that new universe. It's a vast universe distinct from our own. While it hasn't been fully developed, its potential is undoubtedly extraordinary, and holds extraordinary significance for each of us here. The powers it possesses also solidify the foundation of the new energy bank.
At least in terms of dimensional energy, after absorbing and assimilating those powers, the new energy is now comparable to the legendary power. For example, the power of chaos?
I think you should all understand the significance of this. It means that our power will once again be significantly increased! For example, Dormammu, you often don't have to look at the face of that great lord, Sithon. "Luke glanced at the energy-like Dormammu at the end.
"It's really nice there, and there is hell there too. If I can annex the hell there, it will make my hell dimension more stable and more powerful." Mephisto looked greedy.
"There are Hellish demons there too. You'd better not act rashly." Luke frowned, somewhat worried that Mephisto, out of greed, would do something to disrupt their plans. Although the demons present were now able to maintain their composure and reason by utilizing their new energy, there was no guarantee of success.
"Of course I won't do anything rash!" Mephisto seemed very dissatisfied with Luke's distrust, and he muttered.
"If our plan to develop that universe encounters setbacks because of you, then according to the regulations, your shares will be reduced depending on the situation and given to those who solve the problem," Luke reminded.
Mephisto froze and fell silent.
"Because that universe was discovered by Steve Rogers, and I was the one who found it and established the data framework, a portion of the profits from that universe should first be allocated to me and the Midgard forces represented by Steve Rogers, that is, S.H.I.E.L.D. As for the rest, we will discuss the share to be incorporated into the Energy Bank, and then divide it up according to our respective methods." Luke said again.
No one had any objections to this. Energy Bank was the biggest shareholder, and their entire fortune was tied up in it. The remaining shares were like dividends, which they could use to supplement their own wealth.
"Also, I went public through a backdoor listing, transformed an organization outside of a certain timeline, integrated the data dimensions, and established a new organization. I temporarily handed over the management of this organization to Loki of Asgard. But it is obvious that as this organization grows bigger, it needs some fresh blood. I hope you can all join in and contribute your strength. This kind of effort is rewarding. Things that you find difficult to do in the energy bank, you can use it to do." Luke threw out another proposal.
Over time, Mephisto quickly learned the whole story. They didn't care about this; they were just representatives of power. Even without this organization, they would still cast a wide net. This organization simply expanded their wide net into a more targeted option.
The multiverse coordinates gradually emerging from the waters were undoubtedly a bountiful feast. While not as significant as those from a specific universe, yielding a high yield and potentially upgrading the quality of the new energy, they were still abundant and could be used to cultivate a leek field. After all, the new energy required a large number of lives to provide psychic power. Even if it was just a quantitative accumulation, it was a good thing. At least it would lay a solid foundation, allowing their energy to spread to every universe they searched.
"He can't. This position should belong to me!" Hela stood up from behind Odin and spoke suddenly. After understanding all this, her heart was instantly moved. Compared to the endless multiverse, the throne of Asgard didn't seem worth worrying about. Since her foolish brother wanted it, then give it to him. She wanted more!
Of course, this assumes she didn't know Asgard owned shares in the Energy Bank. If she knew, that would be another "I want it all" story.
