Chapter 207: God Descends! (Medium)
Loki claims to be a god, but he is actually very arrogant, and rarely has a humble attitude towards people other than Odin, especially looks down on ordinary humans, and is unwilling to talk to them, so he has been taught by Odin a lot.
But now the situation is that Strange has become Loki's client, and Loki has to start explaining the plan to him in detail.
"Asgard rules the entire Nine Kingdoms, and any changes here cannot be hidden from the Father of the Gods, not long ago, a symbiote carrying the seed of the power of the symbiote god Nar wanted to sneak into the Nine Kingdoms."
Loki looked at Odin's face to judge whether his guess was correct or not.
"At that time, the Father of the Gods had already discovered him, but in order to find out what was going on in Nar, the Father of the Gods planned to wait until the seed of power exploded on its own before dealing with it."
"After that, the symbiote's organization cosmic agents came to visit Asgard and claimed that they were going after the traitors of the race, and the Father of the Gods graciously agreed to their request and released a cosmic agent symbiote into the earth of the Nine Kingdoms."
"During this time, we've done a little bit of business with the masters of certain dimensions."
Loki turned his head sideways again, glanced at Odin's expression, and saw that he didn't have a dissatisfied expression, so he continued: "The Lords of the Dimension have submitted a deposit to us, and we have preliminarily finalized the rate of return with most of the Demon Gods. ”
At this time, Strange: "I know this part, in fact, only the last few are missing, and all the contracts have been signed." ”
"But human deception alone...... I am wisdom and not enough to dedicate these cunning Dimension Lords, most of whom are only tentative......"
Loki raised his voice slightly: "This group of demon gods with endless lifespans are actually more cunning and cautious than they imagined, and they will not really take the bait until they see the real return, no matter how fanciful they are." ”
"So, the Father of the Gods and the Supreme Master thought that we must give them a taste of the sweetness first."
"When these demon gods get a tangible return, they will really participate in this plan, instead of letting humans provide consulting services without interruption under the banner of investment."
"Indeed, I can feel that most of the demon gods call the Holy of Holies nowadays just to have a team of advisors, and the deposits they pay are nothing to them, but they can have a staff group that can advise them anytime and anywhere......"
Loki nodded, signaling that Strange was right.
"This relationship of interest is neither enough for humanity to benefit from the trade, nor enough for Asgard to make enough profit from it, and if we do not deepen the trade further, we will all be in vain."
"So, at the behest of the Father of the Gods, I have been searching the universe for a source of power that can serve as a breakthrough."
"But at this moment, the symbiote that carried the seed of Nar's power exploded, and the ancient demon god Nar, who had been imprisoned in Klinta for a long time, wanted to project his power to Earth."
"From what I've just learned from the Andromeda Nebula, it seems that Nar is looking for a special symbiote, but either way, he intends to open a power corridor between Klinta and Earth."
At this time, the slightly anxious expression on Strange's face disappeared, and he raised an eyebrow: "Just what we want, right?" ”
Loki nodded, "That's true, but the Father of the Gods believes that simply projecting power through a narrow channel of power will not meet the needs of so many people in the Dimension Lord, Earth, and Asgard. ”
"So ......"
"So just now, on the orders of the Father of the Gods, I went to the Andromeda Nebula and did some minor survey work."
"There's a question...... "Strange asked, a little confused, "Is that Klinta's Nar strong?" If he does break free from his cage and come to Earth, are we really sure that he will be able to eat it? ”
"Nar is indeed strong." At this time, Odin spoke, his voice low and deep, with a majesty that could not be questioned: "He may be the oldest creature in this universe, and the power it possesses is the chaotic power of the origin of the universe. ”
"He was born in the first darkness of the universe, and when he was awakened by the voice of the Celestials creating life, he denied this creation, believing that everything should be returned to chaos, so he killed a member of the Celestials with an all-black death sword drawn from the chaos of the universe."
The Ancient One followed Odin's words and explained to Strange: "The Celestials are extremely powerful cosmic gods who interfere with the development of various civilizations in the universe and conduct experiments with various civilizations. ”
"Years ago, the Celestials visited Earth several times." Odin's voice sank into memory: "All the gods on Earth combined are no match for them. ”
"But even if the Celestials are so powerful, Nar still killed one of them, and the Celestials who went to take revenge couldn't kill Nar completely, they could only defeat Nar and then throw him back into chaos."
"As long as there is darkness and chaos in this universe, then Nar will never die."
Strange was very interested in these cosmic anecdotes, but he also knew that now was not the time to get to the bottom of it, so he asked, "Since Nar is so powerful, we still take the initiative to provoke him, is it ......"
At this time, Odin and Gu Yi both showed a somewhat strange expression, they looked at each other, and Odin spoke first: "The power of Nar is indeed very powerful, and it can even be the most primordial power of the universe, and the power of other demon gods is under him." ”
"But the only problem is that ancient creatures born in chaos and darkness are not very good at using their brains."
"Chaos represents nothingness and madness, and a creature with this attribute, no matter how powerful he is, acts insanely and illogically. ”
"He has no purpose, no logic, and the only way for chaotic creatures to exist is to return the universe to chaos and darkness."
"It's precisely because of their chaos and madness that they don't think too much about doing a lot of things."
Strange listened to the ancient one's euphemistic hint, and the simple thing was that Nal didn't have any brains.
But Strange thinks this makes a lot of sense, because thinking and intelligence are inherently orderly, and there is a logic behind the crazy behavior of any intelligent creature, and if there really is a creature whose existence and purpose is to be anti-order, then it is destined to not have too high intelligence.
Or, his intelligence is too advanced for the entire universe.
Strange touched his forehead, and it dawned on him that Nar was the perfect target if he did so.
Ancient, powerful, chaotic, crazy, not very easy to use, and because he has been locked up for too long, he can't keep up with the rhythm of the version, who is this not a trick?
"Wait, just now, Modo and me, the Earth's defense system has been breached?" Strange looked at the Ancient One.
"Mordo's wording is a little conservative, but he's always been like that." Gu Yi sat in his seat very calmly: "Since the seed of power began to erupt, the earth's magic defense system has not been opened. ”
"But if Nar does come, the earth may ......"
Loki shook his head and said to Strange: "You can rest assured, I just came back from Andromeda, and the cage that imprisons Nar is very strong, and it is unlikely that his body will get out of trouble, and only strength can come." ”
"And the projection of power is like a pipe." Loki gestured with his hand: "Located at the end of the Klinta star where Nar is located, the entrance to the pipeline has just been expanded by me, and Nar can export power more quickly and efficiently. ”
"And the mouth of the pipe at this end of the earth was expanded by the Supreme Mage, who removed the earth's magical defense system, and even took the initiative to guide the accurate projection of Nar's power.
"Born in Chaos, after projecting his power, he naturally wants to use this power to defeat all enemies in front of him, and use darkness and chaos to erode this universe, just like he once did."
"And if he can't do it, then he will increase the investment of power, born in chaos and darkness, Nar will not understand what tactical detour and strategic retreat are, he will only want to use his powerful power to erode the universe."
"So as long as we can hold him back, we can let him project power here endlessly?" Strange continued. ”
"But wouldn't it be a little too risky for us to choose this location on Earth? The earth is full of fragile ordinary people, the dark power of Bernar, and they have no resistance to magic. ”
Loki shook his head, and then explained to Strange: "It's not that the exit of the pipeline is chosen on Earth, which means that Nar's power will definitely be able to descend directly on Earth. ”
"It's still the principle of this pipeline, although the exit of the pipeline is on the earth, but the dimensional lords who participate in this plan will make one hole after another in the path of this pipeline, and then divide the power belonging to Nar from the holes they made."
Strange suddenly realized, and Loki continued: "In this way, there will hardly be much power that will be able to fall to Earth. ”
"Yours is a little conservative too." The voice of the Ancient One came: "According to the appetite of that group of participants, there will not be any power that can be teleported to Earth. ”
"But ......" Strange wanted to ask, what good would humanity get? And Gu Yi seemed to see what he wanted to ask, and directly: "The initiative is in our hands now, so we also have a very special right." ”
"What is it?"
"We can decide where they make holes in the pipes."
Strange's eyes widened, and he immediately understood what the Ancient One wanted to do.
To put it simply, this pipe is docked from Klinta to Earth, with Nar as the output and Earth as the receiver.
Although this process cannot be explained in a simple three-dimensional space, there is one law that does not change, that is, there will be a loss of power in the process from the output to the receiver.
This means that the closer the position of the intercepted power is to the output, the purer the power that can be intercepted, and the closer the position is to the earth, then you can only drink the soup left by others.
Asgard and Earth joined forces to make a game, Asgard sent people to widen the output, and the Earth's Supreme Mage was responsible for opening the receiving end, and after the two parties controlled the exit and entrance respectively, they had the right to decide the row of seats.
The higher the seat, the greater the return, but if you want a good seat, you naturally have to invest more.
And most importantly, the rules of this investment game have changed from equal sharing to auction.
You don't have to sit in front, you just have to be higher than everyone else, you don't have to be ahead of everyone, you just have to be higher than your opponents.
Gu Yi smiled at Strange: "The next thing is to bid, they will be there later." ”
Strange shrugged, "Well, it looks like the staff at the Holy of Holies are going to be working overtime again." ”
Then, he pulled out his phone and dialed a number.
"Looks like the S.H.I.E.L.D. staff are going to be working overtime again." In S.H.I.E.L.D. office, Schiller took Nick's cigarette and smiled at him.
"Strange's call was timely, but you should have guessed some in advance, right?" Nick asked him.
"Indeed."
"You're going to push the boat down the river?"
"No, I'm going to add an engine to the boat."
