Chapter 139: Loki's Intelligence
Zhang heng?
Of course, Zhang Taibai is no stranger to this name, the famous geodynamic instrument was invented by this big man, but the era in which he lived has passed one or two thousand years now, and it is only recorded in historical documents and Chinese history textbooks.
Zhang Heng is a figure in the Eastern Han Dynasty, if the leader of Leo is really a direct descendant of Zhang Heng, then it means that they have been inherited for nearly 2,000 years, if this is true, then as the old Dugan said, its hidden power is absolutely terrifying!
Looking at the world, how many forces have been inherited for 2,000 years?
That is, the country has the rise and fall of dynasties, and the difficulty of inheriting it can be seen.
As far as Zhang Taibai now knows that the inheritance has been in power for so long, it is probably only the predecessor of the 'Senate Council', the 'Holy Shield Brotherhood', and the vampire clan. In addition to these two, Zhang Taibai couldn't think of any other forces that could meet the requirements for a while.
And don't forget, even the 'Aegis Brotherhood' has also experienced a split turmoil, divided into 'S.H.I.E.L.D.', 'HYDRA', 'Leviathan' and other forces, although the 'Senate' is the orthodox inheritor of the 'Aegis Brotherhood', but it is just a new life in disguise.
As for the vampire clan that can be inherited for so long, there are various factors, such as their lifespan is far better than that of humans, and they rarely go out of Europe, etc.
But in any case, the vampire clan has been passed down, and there are at least thirteen or more vampire archdukes equivalent to level 4 transcendents, as well as a large number of vampire counts and marquis equivalent to level 2 and 3 transcendentals, and even a vampire king who is suspected of surpassing level 4.
Even a seemingly huge organization like 'S.H.I.E.L.D.' is completely insignificant compared to the vampire clan, and the two are not on the same order of magnitude at all.
And the vampire clan has such a terrifying power, so what kind of power will it be that Zhang Heng, who has also inherited a long history, will be? Logically speaking, even if they are not as good as the vampire clan, the two should also be forces of the same magnitude, and the gap will not be too big.
If this is the case, then it is not surprising that old Dugan would have said that about the Leo leader.
"I wonder who is stronger and who is weaker than the Leo leader and the mysterious vampire king, Count Dracula?" Zhang Taibai couldn't help but compare these two people in his mind.
According to his current estimates, it is very likely that these two people are both level 5 existences, which are probably much stronger than the level 4 peaks of Magneto and Professor X, and there are probably only a few people on the earth who can compare with them, such as Supreme Mage Ancient One and Apocalypse.
These people are the real overlords on earth.
As for the Manchurians?
As far as Zhang Taibai knows, the Manchu people were also in power for a time at the beginning of the twentieth century, and almost became the lord of China, but before the throne was firmly seated for a few days, they retreated bravely, saying that they had embarked on the road of pursuing metaphysics and were no longer obsessed with the power of the mortal world.
Regarding this, Zhang Taibai didn't think much about it.
But it was only after old Duggan said this that he realized that things might not be so simple.
Master Man is undoubtedly also a level 4 transcendent, otherwise he would not be qualified to become one of Iron Man's biggest enemies, but does he really care about power at all? If you really don't care, why set up the 'Ten Rings Gang', it's normal to be a lone ranger, even if you need your subordinates to help with trivial matters, there is no need to build a notorious organization.
His behavior does not show that this is a person who is not interested in power.
So assuming that he is not uninterested in power, it does not explain why he gave up the throne he had already obtained, and instead secretly established the 'Ten Commandments Gang' similar to the international terrorist organization.
After all, no matter how famous the 'Ten Commandments Gang' is, no matter how much it makes countries have a headache for it, what is it compared to the glory of China?
But if it's like old Dugan said, it makes sense.
In the face of a super underground force that has been inherited for nearly 2,000 years and can compete with the vampire clan, what is it even if it is a level 4 transcendental? Not to mention that the Leo leader may also be an existence beyond level 4, and the Manchurian has no other choice but to escape.
"In that case, the Leo leader is at least a hundred years old, right? Maybe it's bigger......" Zhang Taibai thought to himself.
"You don't have to think too much, although the lion is the strongest and most powerful, there is no subordinate relationship between us, everyone is only united for the survival of all mankind, I want you to have a good relationship with him, it's just that." Old Duggan said.
"I understand what you mean, public is public, private is private." Zhang Taibai nodded slightly, thought about it and asked, "Now can you tell me about the former Virgo leader?" ”
"I knew you were going to ask this." Old Dugan said with a smile.
But this was originally his responsibility, and after laughing, he began to popularize science for Zhang Taibai, including the identity and cause of death of the former Virgo leader, as well as the subordinates and properties he left behind, as well as the rights and responsibilities of Zhang Taibai after becoming the leader, etc.
*************
'Asgard', Asgard.
Thor is informed by the Asgard guards that Loki, who is in prison, wants to see him.
Thor still has a deep affection for Loki, the younger brother who grew up together, although Loki is the son of Laufey, the leader of the Frost Giants, and is not related to him by blood, but compared to the half-brother Tyr, the god of war, he still has a better relationship with Loki.
Of course, brotherly feelings are one thing, but Loki's last mistake also made him unable to let go easily, so he also supported Loki's imprisonment.
At this time, he heard that Loki was going to see him, and he also wanted to see what medicine was sold in the gourd of this scheming brother.
A few minutes later, Thor was already outside Loki's cell.
"I heard you wanted to see me?" Saul asked.
In the cell, Loki, who was wearing a luxurious robe with his back to Thor, slowly turned around and smiled evilly, "I didn't expect you to be willing to come to see me, I thought you wouldn't pay attention to me." ”
"If you're calling me here to say this nonsense, then I'll go first." Thor said with a blank face, "Also, using spells to maintain this meaningless illusion doesn't make you look more decent, it only makes people think you're pathetic—"
Loki smiled, not going to argue with Thor, but said, "I called you, of course, to find you something, and it is a matter of great importance for the survival of Asgard...... As soon as you convince the old man to let me go, I'll tell you the secret, how about it? ”
"Do you think I'll still believe you?" Thor looked at him coldly.
"I vouch with my personality that what I just said is true." Loki shrugged.
"That kind of thing, you don't have for a long time." Thor sneered, "If there's nothing to do, I'll leave first, and you can stay here and reflect." ”
With that, Thor had turned around and prepared to leave.
"You wait, don't go, I told you it's not okay?" Loki's voice came from behind him.
Thor, who had his back to Loki, had a smile on his lips and turned around, only to turn around and the smile had disappeared from his face.
"Say, what's going on, don't try to make up nonsense to lie to me, I know you too well, you can fool others, you can't fool me." Saul said.
"Marekis, do you remember the name?" Loki asked suddenly.
"Malekith?" Thor frowned.
This name sounds a little strange at first glance, it shouldn't be someone he knows, but he seems to have information about this name in his mind, but he doesn't remember it for a while.
To be sure, this shouldn't be the first time he's heard the name.
After thinking for a moment, he suddenly said, "I remember, is it the leader of the dark elves who was once defeated by Grandfather Bor?" ”
"Yes, that's him." Loki nodded.
"What you're going to say has to do with him?" Thor asked.
"Hmm." Loki nodded again and said faintly, "He may be coming back......"
"Come back? What do you mean? Thor didn't react for a moment.
Even for him, who has lived for thousands of years, Malekis is a name that only exists in stories and legends, and he heard it when he was a child.
According to legend, the leader of the Dark Elves once led the Dark Elves to replace Asgard in Asgard, overpowering the Nine Realms, and turning the Nine Realms into pitch black with a mysterious substance called the Aether Particle, turning all the Nine Realms into the most suitable environment for the Dark Elves to survive.
In the end, it was the last Asgardian god king Bol who made a desperate gamble and led the elite to raid the dark elves' lair and snatch the 'aether particle' from Malekith, which subverted the dark elves' rule over the Nine Realms and made the 'Asgard' become the co-master of the Nine Realms again.
After that, the dark elves were completely devastated, and the rest of the realms joined forces to retaliate, and the elite were almost completely killed and wounded, leaving behind the old, weak, sick and disabled.
It has only recovered a little bit until now, but it is still completely incomparable to when Malekith was there, it is simply one heaven and one earth.
And this is the end of the story, and it seems that it has little connection with the present.
No, it's not without a connection.
"It seems that Malekith was not killed by Grandfather Bor, and finally disappeared directly......" Thor suddenly thought of a question that made his heart tremble.
At the end of the story, it seems that the leader of the dark elves, Malekis, really wasn't killed!
So what Loki said he was coming back was, was that literal?
The leader of the dark elves who disappeared for five thousand years is coming back?
"Looks like you already know what I mean, my brother......" Loki read Thor's thoughts in his eyes and chuckled, "You guessed right, when I said he was coming back, I was referring to his imminent return to the Nine Realms. ”
"He wants to get revenge on Asgard?" Saul asked.
"Isn't that a matter of course?" Loki asked rhetorically, "The 'Asgard' ruined his great cause, causing the elite of the dark elves to be slaughtered, and now Vat Alheim can only rank last among the nine realms, all because of your grandfather Bor ......"
"That's your grandfather too!" Thor was a little displeased.
"Huh." Loki smiled and was noncommittal, "In short, no matter who is right or wrong, his hatred for 'Asgard' is inevitable, plus after he escaped from the Nine Realms, 'Asgard' has never given up the pursuit of him, and has also issued a sky-high bounty, but no one has been able to catch him...... After all, he is a god-king level powerhouse, where is it so easy to catch? ”
"Why don't I know these things you're talking about?" Thor was still frowning.
"Who knows." Loki spread his hands, "If the old man doesn't tell you, he must have his intentions, and that's not something I can know, and I don't know about it from him anyway." ”
"And how did you find out that he was coming back? Don't tell me you're still in touch with the outside world, it's impossible. Thor stared at Loki.
"Don't be nervous, it's true that I can't communicate with the outside world, but the information I have received is that he will be back before the Nine Realms coincide this time...... I don't know exactly why, but this information is absolutely reliable, and I heard it from the leader of the Zetares, who seems to know Malekis, so it should be true. Loki said with a smile.
"How do you know that the Nine Realms Overlap is about to appear when you stay here?"
"I'm not the only prisoner here, those who have just been locked in will always bring a little outside news, such as the omen of the overlap of the Nine Realms, it is still easy to distinguish."
"Humph! Since you already knew, why didn't you tell me sooner? Thor snorted coldly.
"I don't know when the Nine Realms Overlap will come, didn't I just call you over as soon as I heard about the changes in the outside world......" Loki sneered, "How about it, this information is important enough, even if it's not enough to let me out, at least you have to give me some benefits, right?" ”
"It's impossible to be sure if what you said is true or not, but if it is confirmed that this matter is true, I will naturally ask my father to intercede for you." Saul said.
"Okay, okay, then please, my freedom is up to you......" Loki laughed evilly.
"Hmm." Thor nodded, then immediately turned to leave.
It was clear that he was going to meet with Odin immediately and report the matter to him.
If this incident is true, it is indeed a great event that threatens the entire Asgard, and indeed the entire Nine Realms!
A god-king level who has endured for 5,000 years will never come back to die.
There must be something hidden in this!
Looking at Thor's departing back, Loki, who was dressed in a sumptuous robe, suddenly flickered, and then slowly disappeared...... A moment later, in the corner of the cell, he appeared dressed in a white prison uniform with a disheveled head, sitting on the ground staring at the doorway where Thor had disappeared.
A wicked smile hung on the corner of his mouth, and he said to himself, "Chaos up, Asgard, only when there is complete chaos can I have a chance to regain my freedom—"
