Chapter 438: The 'Disappearing' Heim Underworld
The brilliant pillar of colorful light quickly retracted from the cosmic void and disappeared in an instant, while Thor and his party walked out of the rainbow and stepped on the golden metal floor, wearing fish-scale armor and wearing Thor's hammer around his waist, greeted the gatekeeper Heimdall with a smile on his face.
"Long time no see, Heimdall, when the dark elves invade, you should bring me back to Asgard right away, so that I can teach them a good lesson." Apparently not catching up with the war with the Dark Elves made Thor have few regrets.
Heimdall said expressionlessly, "When the dark elves were discovered, it was too late to activate the Rainbow Bridge. ”
Thor was surprised to hear this, and asked, "Didn't you find them?" "Heimdall's omniscient eye can see everything, and unless Heimdall is blind, how can he let the dark elves approach Asgard.
"Their ship is stealthy, hiding from my eyes," Heimdall paused before continuing, "Much like the method Loki used." ”
"Loki? No way. Thor didn't hesitate to veto the possibility of Loki colluding with the dark elves, but then he thought of Loki's bad deeds of letting the frost giants into Asgard, and immediately hesitated, seemingly... It seems that Loki can do it.
"Has Loki been released?" Eve next to him asked, this expedition, Thor brought the Asgard F4 and wanted to resolve the rebellion as soon as possible, but he didn't expect to stay for so long.
Heimdall shook his head and said, "The Father of the Gods didn't order Loki's release. ”
"There's no way he's in prison with the Dark Elves." Thor made up his mind immediately.
"Not necessarily, he's Loki." Hogan interjected, and Vandal next to him hurriedly touched him with his elbow and motioned for him not to get involved.
Thor opened his mouth, but in the end he didn't say anything to justify, as Hogan said, 'He's Loki', he didn't die after falling into the abyss of the World Tree, and he brought back an army of Zetarians to attack Earth, and he deserved the title of the god of cunning.
Hearing such bad news just came back, the good mood that made Thor go home was suddenly gone, but this was not the only bad news, Heimdall's subsequent words made Thor almost jump up: "The Midgardians who returned to Asgard with you last time are missing?" ”
Heimdall roughly explained that Grell had strayed into the Lost Land, was brought back by Odin to participate in the Dark Elf War, and then led the leading team to Vat Alheim, where there was no trace of him, and no news has been sent back so far, not even the solar ship they were on has been found.
"What?" Tolton was in a hurry, and immediately asked Heimdall to open the rainbow bridge to Watt Alheim, preparing to go over to find Greel.
Heimdall did not immediately open the Rainbow Bridge, but said: "Asgard sent three solar fleets to search for three months in Vat Alheim, and they were not found. He then talked about finding a secret passage to Midgard, making it clear that it was Loki's idea.
"Loki..."Thor squeezed these two words out of his teeth, pulled the hammer of Thor from his waist, held it in his hand, turned up, and after a few turns, flung it upward, and the hammer of Thor took Thor towards the palace quickly.
The Asgard Four glanced at each other, one staying to talk to Heimdall to learn more, while the others rushed to Asgard to ask the others for more details, so that Thor could come back and talk to Thor in detail without being blinded.
Thor rushed all the way to the prison and forced his way in, but the guards did not dare to stop the angry Prince of Asgard, so they had to send someone to report to Odin.
Thor had just walked to Loki's cell, and before he could get to his feet, Loki was the first to speak: "Oh, my dear brother, you finally came to see me, I thought you would never come in my life." ”
"Loki, where's Grell?"
"You ask me?" Loki looked incredulous, stretched out his hands, pointed to the cell where he was, and said, "My range of activities is so large, where are your friends?" Maybe you should ask Odin. ”
"What?" Thor couldn't help but be stunned.
Loki put his hands behind his back and said with a smile: "If Odin knew his secret, he would definitely try his best to keep him, and he would never let him run around." ”
"Why?" Thor followed Loki's rhythm so much that he almost forgot what he was here for.
"Because of his secret." Loki's mysterious look successfully made Thor's anger even higher, his angry hair was about to stand on end, and he roared, "Loki, what the hell do you want to do?" ”
"What do I want to do? I'm locked up here, what else can I do? Loki roared back, louder than Thor, and the anger he showed was even stronger than Thor's, which made Thor feel inexplicable guilt in his heart.
They have been brothers for more than a thousand years, and it is not what Thor wants, looking at Loki who was locked in a small cell, Thor felt very uncomfortable, the hammer of Thor in his hand hung down, and said: "Loki, the matter between us should not involve others, Grell is innocent, tell me, where is he?" ”
"How do I know?" Loki still looked indifferent, and said, "I told him that after his mother taught him wayfinding wizards, he could come to me, and I told him how to use witchcraft to find the way to Midgard, but he himself didn't believe me, and what could I do." ”
"So you know where he is?"
"Why do you ask me? Heimdall is better than I am..."
"Heimdall couldn't find him either."
Loki immediately showed surprise, paused for two seconds, and said as if talking to himself, "Heimdall can't see him?" No, wouldn't it... Impossible..."
This made Tolton think that Loki knew where Grell was, and hurriedly asked, "Where is he?" ”
Loki frowned, his chin in his hand, and looked like he was thinking seriously, while Thor looked at Loki with a look of hope, and the anger he came had already disappeared under Loki's words.
"If you can't even see Heimdall, it's the only place to go..."Loki said in a small voice, just enough for Thor outside to hear, making Thor ask eagerly, "Where?" Where? ”
Loki smiled slightly, turned around, put his hands behind his back, looked at Thor, and said, "You led Asgard's army to conquer the Nine Realms, so which realm has never been to?" ”
"Never been?" Thor was stunned when he heard this, he really never thought about this problem, he went to beat people wherever Odin told him to go, and he didn't think about where he went. When Loki said this, Thor realized that in his hundreds of years of warfare, there were countless places he had visited, but there seemed to be one place he had never visited.
"The sea... Haim Underworld? Thor said with some uncertainty.
The smile on Loki's face widened, and he paced the small cell with his hands behind his back: "Asgard's library has a detailed record of the customs and customs of the Nine Realms, but only the Heim Underworld is missing, have you heard anything about the Heim Underworld in Asgard?" ”
Thor thought about it seriously, and then shook his head, the people around him had never mentioned anything about Heim's underworld, whether it was Wat'Alheim, who had been exterminated for thousands of years, or Niforheim, the land of mist with an extremely harsh environment, Muspelheim, and Jotunheim, the icy land, they could often be heard, but Haim's underworld was simply invisible, and no one mentioned it at all.
"Heim Underworld..."Loki was about to continue, when Odin's voice sounded behind Thor: "They are not in Heim Underworld. ”
"Father!" Thor turned his head and saw Odin walking over with the Eternal Spear, his face looking a little ugly.
Loki turned to the table, bowed his head and poured himself tea, without looking at Odin, and said, "Did you deign to look for it?" So sure people aren't there. ”
Odin walked over, looked at Loki, who was leisurely drinking tea, with a gloomy face, and said, "No one can get in there, Thor, come with me." ”
"Are you scared?" Loki put the teacup on the table, walked over step by step, stopped just over ten centimeters away from the laser net, and said, "I'm afraid of the things you try to hide..."
"Shut up!" Odin yelled.
"Hahaha..." Loki laughed very happily, and the smile was very proud, so that Odin's right hand suddenly clenched the Eternal Spear in his hand, and his face was cloudy, and Thor looked dazed, not understanding what Loki was trying to hide was about.
"Father, what's going on?" Thor's question was not answered by Odin, Odin just stared at Loki, who was smiling happily through a laser net, with a gloomy face, and after a while he replied in a low voice: "Don't believe him." ”
"Do I have to believe you? I read a lot of books during this time, and I found a very coincidental thing, the Valkyrie army that once left a great name in the history of Asgard, suddenly disappeared, and there is also a unique creature of Asgard, Pegasus, why can't I see a single one?
The virus introduced from other worlds is really terrifying, so that even Asgard, the overlord of the Nine Realms, can't solve it, and only destroys the creature Pegasus, and coincidentally, the time when the creature Pegasus and the Valkyrie troops disappear seems to be very close Alas.
O great king of the gods, can you answer my confusion? ”
Odin's hand holding the Eternal Spear became harder and harder, his breathing was two or three points short, and he had a gloomy face and roared, "Who told you this? It was like an angry lion, which surprised Thor on the side, even if he was disobedient and went to Jotunheim to make trouble last time, Odin was not so angry, Loki said three or two words, which made Odin angry like this.
