Chapter 88 - Chapter 88 Stop Time! Stand World! Loki's Cunning Scheme!

Seeing this question, the live broadcast room fell silent for a while, and everyone's expressions changed slightly.

These answers looked far too terrifying.

Little Wanda inhaled a breath of cold air and suddenly instinctively felt a chill behind her back.

Tony stood beside her, frowning slightly.

Among the three answers, the first answer represented Loki killing his father for power.

And the second answer went even further!

It meant that Loki was not satisfied with merely killing one father. He wanted to kill both his adoptive father Odin and his biological father Laufey.

In comparison, the third answer was also extremely dangerous.

If this answer was correct, it meant that Laufey had fallen into Loki's trap from the very beginning and automatically stepped into a killing game!

Although the Frost Giants and the Asgard Protoss had always been enemies, treating his biological father this way was still quite shocking for Loki.

[Thor: What kind of answers are these? Why do they look so complicated? My head is spinning.]

[Tony Stark: Complicated? Have you still not seen it? Loki, the God of Mischief, was originally the type who thinks deeply and plans everything!]

[Tony Stark: And his foolish brother is the complete opposite extreme.]

[Thor: Bastard. Why do you mortals always say that I am stupid? I am Odin's eldest son...]

[Natasha Romanoff: All right, great god, please calm down and be a good boy.]

[Natasha Romanoff: Let us return to the subject. Judging by the answers, this strategy Loki set up is truly not simple.]

[Natasha Romanoff: No matter which answer it is, the result behind it can bring him enormous benefits!]

[Natasha Romanoff: It can be said that, if moral factors are excluded, Loki, in reality, would be very wise no matter which of these three answers he chose.]

[Peter Parker: Miss Natasha, how can you say that? Can you not see how terrifying these answers are? This is killing one's own father!]

[Natasha Romanoff: In my country, killing one's father in a struggle for power is not rare.]

[Natasha Romanoff: Moreover, if Loki can truly carry out these plans successfully, the benefits he will gain are simply unimaginable!]

[Natasha Romanoff: Faced with such temptation, whether it is an adoptive father who is not related to him by blood or a biological father who has always been treated as an enemy, it is not necessarily impossible to sacrifice them.]

[Nick Fury: Natasha, you are saying too much.]

[Natasha Romanoff: I am sorry, Director.]

[Natasha Romanoff: But the organization I originally belonged to followed this philosophy. To achieve the goal, all means are used.]

[Nick Fury: Our S.H.I.E.L.D. is different.]

[Tony Stark: Hahaha, do you believe that? I heard a proverb: all crows under heaven are black.]

[Tony Stark: There is not a single clean spy organization!]

[Nick Fury: Tony Stark, I will not argue with you here.]

[Nick Fury: But that Loki is truly a schemer full of plans. If Asgard truly falls into this person's hands, then it may not be a good thing for the entire Nine Realms.]

[Loki Odinson: Hmph! Ordinary ant, do not think about interfering with the movement of the stars in the sky. That is something you cannot reach at all.]

[Nick Fury: Haha, sorry, but I have no intention of saying anything. I am only saying what I think.]

After saying these words, Fury sat in his chair and exhaled, and the expression on his face returned to indifference.

By now, he had already seen things clearly.

God King Odin obviously intended to hand over the royal position.

In that case, Fury definitely hoped that the foolish Thor would become the King of Asgard!

If S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to begin contact with Asgard, dealing with this stubborn Thor would reduce the difficulty by an unknown amount!

In comparison, that Loki was not only full of schemes, but from the three answers it could be seen... this person was ruthless and unscrupulous!

If this person were allowed to become the King of Asgard, Fury feared that Earth would gain another threat!

[Wanda Maximoff: You say Loki has some conspiracy? Then who can tell me? Besides the first one, what conspiracy is hidden in the remaining two answers?]

[Nick Fury: Heh. Now that you say that, I am no longer sleepy!]

[Nick Fury: Answer B. It means that Loki first brings Laufey into Asgard to kill Odin, and then he kills Laufey to avenge his father!]

[Nick Fury: In this way, not only will he remove the possibility of Odin waking up and taking back the throne, but he will also kill Laufey!]

[Nick Fury: Then there will be no evidence, and no one will be able to prove that he was the one who contacted Laufey.]

[Peter Parker: What a terrifying conspiracy. For power, he would kill two fathers in one breath!]

[Thor: Bah! What nonsense are you talking about, kid? Loki has the same father as I do, Father Odin!]

[Nick Fury: Perhaps that is what you think, but who knows what Loki thinks.]

[Nick Fury: Option C. In a certain sense, the strategy in this option is the most subtle.]

[Nick Fury: Because it is different from the previous two options. If Loki acts according to this option, he will gain something that even power and status cannot compensate for.]

[Natasha Romanoff: Director, does such a thing truly exist in the world?]

[Nick Fury: It definitely exists. It is honor and prestige!]

[Nick Fury: You have all seen it yourselves. In the previous images, whether it was the Warriors Three or Heimdall, their attitude toward Loki was extremely poor. They did not treat him as a prince at all. Much less could he be compared with Thor!]

[Thor: Is there such a thing? I thought they only disliked Loki playing tricks all day, uh, no! It is playing with magic.]

[Mordo: Tricks? If you become king, then Asgard is truly finished.]

[Thor: Damn it! What are you talking about?]

[Nick Fury: Do not go too far. In short, if Loki can act when Laufey breaks into Asgard's royal palace and is preparing to kill Odin, and kill the Frost Giant! Then he will immediately become the hero who saved the king!]

[Nick Fury: Do you know who the most famous hero in Asgard was before?]

[Thor: Haha, does that even need to be asked? It is Odin's eldest son, the invincible God of Thunder, Thor! ^_^]

[Peter Parker: ...]

[Stephen Strange: In this way, I can raise my reputation enough to equal Thor's and further make the people of Asgard have a favorable impression of me! It truly is a good method.]

[Nick Fury: Not only that, after killing Laufey, Loki will also have a reason to launch a counterattack against Jotunheim! With the Frost Giants leaderless, this battle can be said to be a certain victory!]

[Nick Fury: First he saves Odin, and then leads the Asgardian army to victory on the battlefield. With such honor, would anyone in Asgard fail to respect the new king?]

[Mordo: Good heavens, this Loki is far too precise in his calculations, is he not? He calculated everything. Everyone is his chess piece.]

Seeing this, outside the screen, stormy waves rose in the hearts of many people.

Asgard.

Frigga nervously looked at Odin, and the expression on her face was extremely conflicted.

Honestly speaking, she would rather that answer C was correct.

Because it was the only answer in which Odin would not be killed.

Feeling his wife's worried gaze, the expression on Odin's face was gloomy.

It seemed that he had still underestimated his adopted son.

In the eyes of ordinary people in Asgard, the so-called God of Mischief was only a young prince who liked playing pranks.

But now, Odin truly understood Loki's methods and ruthlessness!

Answers A and B need not even be mentioned. Even answer C was full of conspiracies and calculations.

Besides his biological father Laufey, even the unconscious God King Odin had become a tool for Loki to gain fame and consolidate power!

Such a method was not only scheming, but even sinister!

However, Odin glanced at the comments below the screen, with a trace of contempt in his single eye.

"The mortal named Nick Fury says these things with such great fanfare only because he is trying to ruin Loki's image before me, so that I will not hand the inheritance to him."

"No wonder Loki would say that he is an ant who wants to interfere with the movement of the stars. An ordinary mortal truly does not know the height of the heavens."

After taking a deep breath, Odin's expression, calm like an ancient well, returned once again.

As the God King, he still had many things to think about. An ant-like mortal was not worth any additional effort from him.

Wanda lowered her head. Speaking to herself:

"That uncle named Nick said so much. Is he trying to say that option C is correct?"

"Not necessarily."

Strange frowned and said:

"Although option C can give Loki the greatest degree of honor and prestige, he must allow Odin to survive. If viewed purely from a utilitarian perspective, this is not a wise option."

"Uncle Strange, what are you talking about?"

The pure-hearted Peter had quiet anger in his eyes.

"Loki was raised by Odin. How could he act against his adoptive father?"

Strange shrugged when he heard this, turned his head, and glanced at Tony, and both of them saw a bitter smile in each other's eyes.

Human nature was the most difficult thing to understand.

All three options this time were very valuable from a rational point of view.

Therefore, even they were uncertain which path Loki from that parallel universe would take.

And if they answered randomly without certainty, would that not merely be stepping on a mine for someone else?

How could intelligent people like Tony and Strange do such a foolish thing?

Natasha Romanoff stood at the side, with only a bitter smile on her face.

After losing twice in a row, she no longer wanted to gamble on her luck with the questions.

At this moment, Loki's face suddenly showed relief.

"Hahaha, that is right. I understand."

"So that is how it is. I understand."

Loki's signature smile appeared on his face again, and the frightened and uneasy appearance from moments earlier disappeared without a trace.

Immediately afterward, he directly raised his head and answered loudly.

"I choose C: Loki wants to kill Laufey when he attacks Asgard, so that he can become the hero who saves Odin, and so that he can openly launch a counterattack and occupy Jotunheim!"

Soon, the sound of the system rang out again.

[Ding! Loki Odinson has finished answering. The question and answer system begins evaluation.]

[Ding! Loki Odinson answered correctly.]

"Huh, of course."

Loki took a deep breath, and the expression on his face calmed again.

By now, he had already understood.

What Odin or the other Asgardians would think of him was beyond his control.

Therefore, instead of continuing to worry about things he could not change, it was better to move forward and try to obtain more correct answers in this answering system!

In this way, perhaps he could obtain a powerful reward capable of changing his fate.

Perhaps this hope was very faint, but if even hope was abandoned, what would remain in life?

Sitting there and waiting for Thanos to beat him to death in the future?

As for choosing C, the reason was also very simple.

Until now, Loki still regarded Odin as his father.

Therefore, he also did not want to believe that his parallel-universe self would so simply and coldly attack Odin!

Hearing the system's voice, ah, Queen Frigga finally showed irresistible joy.

She quickly turned her head and said to Odin:

"Your Majesty, look! I told you, Loki would never hurt you."

Odin nodded, but there was not much joy in his eyes.

In option C, Loki did not personally kill his adoptive father, but he truly did kill his biological father Laufey!

Not only that, but with the help of this self-directed and self-performed drama of saving the king, he would further attack Jotunheim to establish his invincible and wise image!

This little one truly could not be taken lightly...

At this moment, the system's voice continued to echo.

[Loki Odinson receives 100 live broadcast points, which can be used to order the past and future connected to him.]

[Loki Odinson receives a random reward, Stand—The World (Za Warudo)!]

[This Stand has the ability to stop time. Although at the beginning it can stop it only for an instant, with training, the duration of the time stop can grow infinitely and continue extending!]

"What? Time stop?"

Hearing this, Loki froze in place from intense surprise, his eyes shocked and blank! He almost thought he was dreaming!

Time Ability!

In Loki's impression, aside from Thanos's Infinity Gauntlet, he had seen similar powers in only one place.

That was the Time Variance Authority, which was so miraculous that it could even play with the God of Mischief in the palm of its hand.
