Chapter 927: Loki's Apology
Edward hadn't been in a coma for a long time, and when he woke up, he found himself lying in an infirmary room, which, judging by the markings on the equipment, belonged to the Stark Group.
His assistant Nicole sat on the edge of his bed, smiling and playing with his phone, and a nurse was standing at the bedside recording something.
Edward opened his eyes without disturbing the two of them, closing them again and feeling his situation.
Moving the Holy Light Heart in the soul was indeed unbearable for ordinary people, and even Edward couldn't help but let out a soul scream in that kind of pain.
But Edward's ability to survive the pit he dug also showed that Charlie's method had succeeded! At this time, in his rudimentary godhead formed by countless lines, the soul crystal and the heart of holy light were still beating there unharmed, and he also found that his soul strength had increased by one level again.
Edward carefully observed the new Heart of Light with the spirit web, and unlike the original pure white core, a small half of the current Heart of Light was dotted with mottled pure black dots, and these black dots continued to spread slowly, as if they were about to dye half of the Heart of Light black.
Edward's Heart of Light was originally only a little larger than the magic crystal next to it, but now it was almost twice the size of the magic crystal, almost filling the space formed by most of the rudimentary lines of the godhead, and the beating frequency was much faster and stronger.
Edward tried to use the Light, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he was able to switch between pure Light and Dark Light!
"I succeeded!" Edward was full of joy, when he reached the battle level of a mid-level demigod, the regular cultivation and combat had already improved him very little, but he didn't expect to be able to get a huge improvement in this technological plane again, and the battle level of a high-level demigod was also shortened by a big step.
Moreover, the transformation of divine power has also accelerated a lot, and the lines of the rudimentary form of the godhead have become much thicker, and there is a tendency to evolve from lines to surfaces.
Edward, who was in a good mood, opened his eyes again, and suddenly said, "Miss Nicole, I am lying in a hospital bed like this, but you are still there smiling and playing with your phone, is this the duty of an assistant?"
Edward's sudden speech startled Nicole and the nurse.
"You're awake! Nicole was overjoyed, and then pouted, "The doctor has already examined you, there is nothing wrong with your body, you are stronger than normal, and it is only a matter of time before you wake up." ”
The nurse hurried out of the room, presumably to inform Stark.
Sure enough, Edward got out of the hospital bed and didn't have a few words with Nicole when Stark and Pepper hurried in.
"Aha, I didn't expect our mighty Edward to faint, it's really strange. Stark chewed gum, cynical as ever, "That incident in London where multiple people fainted was your handiwork, isn't it?
"I'm fine. Edward said as he changed his hospital gown, "What's going on with the multiple people fainting?"
"We don't know very well, Natasha went to check, but she couldn't see anything, and then the dark elves invaded the earth, so she went over to help, thinking that the dark elves had done it. Pepper poured a glass of water and handed it to Edward, "But then I heard that you were there, and S.H.I.E.L.D. understood that it was probably your problem, but it didn't blame it on you." ”
"It was my problem, I was ...... at the time Trying a breakthrough in strength, I couldn't bear it and let out a soul scream. Edward apologized, "There's nothing wrong with those victims, is there's nothing malicious in my soul scream, and it shouldn't hurt their souls." ”
"Soul screaming?" Stark whistled and laughed, "You know, people nowadays are fast-paced, stressful, and mostly in a sub-healthy state. Not only did your soul scream not hurt them in any way, but it also gave them a good night's sleep, without deducting their wages, and enjoying the company's subsidies, and they should thank you. ”
Then, the Dark Elf invasion made headlines, and people forgot about it, and Fury didn't report it to the World Security Council, and that's it. Stark patted Edward on the shoulder and said, "I heard that you recently messed with Thor and saved his mother, how is the place in Asgard?"
"Let's not talk about that, what about the dark elves?" Edward was a little speechless at Stark's focus, and digressed the subject, "What about Thor and Loki?"
"Malekith is dead. Thor walked into the hospital room, not wearing his battle armor, but a casual suit, followed by Jane, "Because you took some of the Aether Particles away, which made his weapons much less powerful, I had a chance to defeat him." ”
"As for Loki......" Thor grimaced.
"Did it still fail?" Edward sighed.
"Haha, just kidding. Thor burst out laughing out loud, "He's managed to survive your Light sanctions, and now his body and soul are in Stark Tower, just waiting for you to resurrect him." ”
"You guy. Edward was stunned and exclaimed, "I didn't expect him to succeed? ”
"Edward, I owe you a thank you. Thor walked over and put his arm around Edward's shoulder, "If it weren't for you, my family would be in tatters!"
"Thank you, Edward. Jane also thanked Edward from the bottom of her heart.
"I accepted it. Edward was not pretentious, and smiled, "I accept your thanks, this is the best reward for me." ”
After saying that, all three of them laughed, feeling more happy than ever.
"You're asking for too cheap in return, Edward. Stark interjected duly in time. "With so many happy events, are we going to have a party?"
"Alright!" Edward didn't object this time, firstly he was in the right mood, and his soul was still trembling and needed to relax, "Before that, let's go see the reborn Mr. Loki." ”
............
Loki's body and soul are now in Stark's laboratory, although his soul state is wrapped in Edward's holy light enchantment, and he can't communicate with others, but everyone can already see that this Loki in front of him is no longer the one he used to be.
"How's it going? Thor asked nervously after observing Edward for a moment. He was afraid that Edward's light would still not work on Loki's body, so he was very nervous.
"No problem, but he's only for the Dark Light. Edward communicated with Loki's soul to make sure that the other party had indeed survived the Holy Light sanction, and woke up in time to reply with a smile.
"Dark Light, does that require a lot of priests from the Demon Hunter Order to perform this resurrection ritual?" Thor frowned, "I know you don't have the power of the Dark Light. ”
"That was before, and now I have. Edward raised an eyebrow, "And this ritual only takes a day to complete." Stark, go get your body ready and let's welcome a new member in a day's time. ”
"Understood. Stark smiled and walked out with Pepper. Jane kissed Thor on the cheek, comforted her and left.
"You ...... the aether particles," Thor asked, realizing something.
"There are no aether particles now. Edward stretched out his hand, and a pitch-black magic ball rose from behind his back, and smiled, "Now there is only the Heart of Darkness, which is absolutely under my control. ”
"That's good. Thor glanced at the black orb and breathed a sigh of relief, "Just like last time, I'll protect the Dharma for you." ”
Edward was stunned for a moment, smiled and split into a clone, and walked out with Thor. However, his doppelganger this time is not pure white, but pitch black.
"It turns out that the high-level power of dark light is pitch black. Edward smiled, his eyes froze, and began the resurrection ritual.
............
A day later, the large living room of the Stark Building had been transformed into a lively party place, and a large number of invited people began to enter, including the executives of various large companies with business relations with the Stark Group, well-known people from all walks of life, a small number of political officials of the United States, and the stars who dotted the party.
Among them, S.H.I.E.L.D.'s Natasha, Captain America Rogers and Coulson are also on the list. And, of course, the Demon Hunter Knights' Saya, Aite, and Bloodcrow, as well as the newly summoned Knights' Guards.
As people gather to chat and wait for the body to begin, Edward, Thor, and Loki, dressed in formal attire, also arrive.
Loki looks the same as the original, still the same, but he and Thor hook up shoulder to shoulder, and they don't look like sworn enemies at all, but instead look like a pair of brothers who have a good relationship.
Loki's arrival surprised many people, and many others were angry.
After all, the Battle of New York had introduced them to Loki, a war criminal, and shouldn't such a war criminal be locked up in prison?
"Guys, let's welcome ......" In an attempt to alleviate the eerie atmosphere, Stark was about to announce the start of the party, but was interrupted by Loki.
"Sorry, don't start, Stark. Loki said, "Let me start with a few words. ”
Stark, who was not yet accustomed to being pleasant, glanced at Edward, then shrugged his shoulders and gave up the stage to Loki.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I think a lot of people should know me. That's right, I'm the culprit in the Battle of New York, Loki. Loki's opening remarks also surprised many people, and he directly admitted his identity, saying, "I opened the door to space and lured the army of the Zetarians to Earth, trying to use them to dominate Earth and make myself the king of Earth." ”
"I failed and was imprisoned in Asgard Asgard for introspection. Loki's face was expressionless, but there was remorse in his eyes, "At that time, I was still the same Loki, unrepentant, bent on kingship, and always thinking about escaping from prison and making a comeback. ”
"I got this opportunity, and in order to fight against the dark elves who appeared in England not long ago, my brother Thor found me and asked me to take him out of Asgard through the secret passage to fight against the dark elves. Loki's tone gradually became real, "In that battle, I died. ”
At this point, there was an uproar in the crowd. The people who came to participate in the party were all high-ranking people from all walks of life, and of course they knew that after a person died, only the holy light of the Demon Hunter Knights could resurrect them. If Loki hadn't lied, then the only explanation was that he had been resurrected by Edward, but didn't the rumor say that the Light could only work on good people?
"As you may have thought, yes, I was resurrected by Edward, and the rumors are true that the Light can only resurrect the good. "At the moment of death, I saw what I had done in my long life, but it was too late to repent, and I had only a little conscience left in my heart to help my brother for the last time." ”
"I am able to stand here again as a living person today because I have been sanctioned by Edward's Light when my soul has dissipated. Loki laughed to himself, "It's a ritual to punish you with a deep pain in your soul, a punishment to undo your past sins with a torture of your soul." Believe me, no one would want to experience this feeling a second time. ”
But in the same way, it is also a kind of redemption for wicked people like me. Loki's face turned pale, and he shuddered a little when he thought of that night, "I will never forget that night, my soul was slowly cleansed in pain, and I survived that terrible night with the support of my soul and love that I had endure." So, my soul was sublimated, and I became the abandoned baby of the frost giant that was accepted by my father, and the Loki who lived happily in the love of my parents and brother. ”
"Here, although it is not to any avail, I still want to say to the people of New York, I am sorry, and I will make up for the disaster I have caused you in the future. With that, Loki lowered his head and bowed deeply.
There was silence, and people looked at each other, all a little confused. That arrogant Loki, who would let the world see him even if it brought disaster, would actually bow his head and apologize to them.
After a long time, a round of applause rang out, and a strong man like Thor actually clapped with tears on his face, and a heartfelt smile appeared on his face.
Stark and Edward then applauded and nodded at Loki in satisfaction.
