Chapter 243 Seeking the Skin of a Tiger

"No need. For the current situation of the entire universe, we have already made the three empires and other major forces nervous by getting the Mind Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones. If we get the Reality Stone now, all the forces in the universe will be looking at us.

"This will be very disadvantageous for our next plan, and will also expose all our subsequent actions."

"We can't do things that are not worth the loss. And you know, our goal has never been a certain Infinity Stone, but all of them. Now we just wait quietly. When the time is right, all six cosmic stones will be in my hands."

"I will also completely accomplish my goal in one battle, and I can really relax after that."

After hearing the insistence of several people, Thanos finally sat down, looked at the people in front of him, and waved his hand, motioning them to sit down with him, and then he slowly spoke about his plan.

"Father, your direction is what we have been striving for."

"Don't worry, we will definitely fulfill your great ideal for you. "

After hearing what Thanos said, the people present instantly understood the grandness of Thanos's plan. He had completely jumped out of the situation of competing for a certain Infinity Stone and focused his attention on the level of the entire universe. Then Ebony Maw took the lead in expressing his position.

"Your will is our direction!"

The other people on the side also spoke up after seeing Ebony Maw's statement.

"Father, someone wants to see you!"

Just when Thanos wanted to say something, a subordinate came and bowed slightly, then spoke to Thanos.

"Oh? ! Interesting. "

After hearing the words of the visitor, Thanos smiled thoughtfully.

Then, he strode towards the fleet not far away.

As Thanos left, the other five generals followed him, leaving behind only a ruin of war and Thanos' army that was still cleaning up survivors in various cities.

As Thanos entered the command room of his warship, he was greeted by a person who even surprised him.

The other party was wearing a dark green wizard robe and a crown like a deer antler on his head. The whole person gave people a luxurious but strange feeling.

"Loki Odinson, the god of fire and treacherous fraud in Asgard, the second prince of Odin, it's really surprising that you would come to me. Does your father know? ! "

After seeing the other party's full appearance, Thanos's mouth curled up into a different kind of smile, and even looked at Loki with a bit of joking, and then spoke.

After all, Asgard has always been the maintainer of the order of the Nine Realms, and he, as the son of destiny, has always been committed to eliminating half of the life in the universe. The identities of the two, whether Odin as an Aesir does not allow anyone to challenge his authority, or as the guardian of the Nine Realms, Thanos invades his own country, the two are incompatible.

It can be said that the two parties have fought directly or indirectly hundreds of times, and the two can be said to have a blood feud.

And now, the other party actually took the initiative to run to his territory, and it was only one person. Thanos also had a strong interest in the bold young man in front of him.

Whether the other party came to him with his father's intentions, or he had some small thoughts, he decided to give the other party a chance based on this spirit of daring to go into the tiger's den alone.

"My father never asks about our affairs. "

"And I'm here to represent myself."

After hearing Thanos' words, Loki turned around and looked at Thanos not far away. A strong fear flashed in his eyes, but he still replied.

"How dare you! ! You dare not kneel before the master of the universe, and you are ready to die! ! "

Although Thanos didn't say anything, Ebony Maw, who was standing by, stood up immediately after seeing that the other party didn't even show the most basic respect in front of his adoptive father. He spoke angrily, and at the same time, a murderous intent almost tangible swept from him towards Loki.

After hearing what Ebony Maw said, the five black generals on the side also drew their swords and faced each other, just waiting for Thanos's order, and they promised to chop the guy in front of them into meat paste.

As for the prince of Asgard, it's a joke. Haven't they killed enough Asgardians?!

They have killed even the generals and battle gods of Asgard, and even fought with Odin together with their father. In comparison, they are naturally not afraid of killing a mere second prince.

"Okay, forget it this time. Tell me why you are here, the second prince of Asgard. "

After reaching out his hand to stop his adopted sons, Thanos looked at them with interest, and then spoke.

After all, he was also curious about why the other party came all the way here to find him.

"I have information about the ether particles, that is, the reality gems. As long as you help me win the throne, I can promise to bring it to you. "

After hearing that Thanos stopped the leading squid man, Loki, who felt a great pressure in the last second, also felt relieved. He really didn't expect that the five obsidian generals of the civilized universe were so powerful alone, and such a person was willing to be inferior to Thanos, which showed that the opponent's strength was unfathomable. However, this time Loki was not here to fight after all, and the whole person immediately spoke.

"Puff!"

"Hahahaha!"

"Laugh to death!!"

After hearing that Loki came to negotiate with them with outdated news, the five obsidian generals on the side could not control themselves. After the first person laughed, the others also laughed.

For a while, even the corners of Thanos' mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Perhaps he felt that he should not have any expectations for this second generation of gods who were born in a comfortable zone.

"What are you laughing at! I came here with sincerity. As long as I become king, we can even establish an offensive and defensive alliance."

"Sir Thanos, don't you want to kill half of them?! Then I will let the whole country help you with all its strength, how about it?!"

After hearing the almost sarcastic sneer of the Black Order, Loki just endured it secretly at this time, but still spoke up.

After all, he ran out secretly this time to win over friendly forces for himself in advance. Otherwise, the people in Asgard are all dull old antiques, and they only obey his big brother with strong limbs and simple mind from head to toe. Otherwise, he would not have to run out to find Thanos.

But...all this is just his forbearance. As long as he successfully ascends the throne, Thanos? ! It's nothing.

At that time, Thanos will be his first brilliant achievement after taking office.

"It sounds interesting, but from your conditions, I only heard that you can get something for nothing, and... I already know the location of the Reality Stone."

"Earth, right?"

After hearing Loki's words, Thanos looked at him and spoke with a very oppressive look.

"!!!"

After hearing the other party's words, Loki, who thought he had priority in intelligence, couldn't help but tremble.

He really didn't expect that the Reality Stone had only been born for a short time, and the other party was still busy invading the planet under his feet, and he could actually access the intelligence on the earth. This made Loki's fear of Thanos's strength even more deepened.

"I can cooperate with you."

"But change the conditions. You help me get the Reality Stone and the Space Stone on Earth."

"For every one you get, I will help you fulfill a wish, such as becoming the king of the earth?!"

After looking at the other party's astonishment, Thanos just smiled slightly, and then circled around the other party, while continuing with interest.

"What if I can get two?!"

At this moment, after hearing Thanos' words, Loki didn't care about anything else, and looked at Thanos with an extremely aggressive and eager look.

After all, for him, it can be said that he has lived in the nightmare of the throne all his life. Even whenever someone mentioned that his brother was about to ascend the throne, he felt that the nightmare in his heart was deepening.

"If I can really get two, what can I do to help you destroy Asgard?!"

After hearing Loki's words, Thanos also spoke very domineeringly.

At this moment, in Loki's eyes, the other party's unique posture of the universe overlord was fully displayed at this moment. The arrogance in it could not be shown at all without slaughtering hundreds of civilizations and gods.

"Oh, that's what you said, but I still remember the scene when you tried to attack me at the beginning and fought with my father and fled in panic."

"Excuse me, I don't think you have the ability."

Of course, looking at Thanos's performance, Loki was not confused, but continued to question.

"Are you here to die?!"

"Bold!!"

After hearing Loki's words that actually challenged his father's majesty, the five black generals on the side could no longer hold back, and stood up one after another, looking at Loki in front of them and ready to teach him a profound lesson, so that he would know what politeness is.

"Okay, children, treat guests with courtesy and don't lose your manners in front of guests."

"And what he said is also true. I never avoid facts."

After seeing his adopted sons stand up to defend him, Thanos was still satisfied, but he still stopped a few people.

"Child, I think you know your problem better than me. It is true that Odin is stronger than me, but he is too old. If I really want to fight him to the death, he can't do anything to me."

"Not to mention that he is willing to fight me to the death?! He is old, and his divine power can't withstand his reckless squandering like when he was young. If there was no previous battle with me, Odin would probably be able to protect you for decades or even hundreds of years. He has always been like an eagle, escorting his eldest son. What's his name?! Thor, right?! I remember that name, a very good little guy, really has the style of his father."

"It's a pity that he is too young, and Odin doesn't have enough time."

"As far as I know, Odin's sleep should only last for a few years. Even if I go to his house now, do you think he is willing to overdraw his divine power to fight me?!"

"Maybe, but the price is greater than you think. Unless Asgard is truly destroyed, he can only watch."

After hearing Loki's words of disparagement, Thanos was not angry at all. Instead, he looked at the other party calmly and spoke.

Odin's sleep is a deep sleep that Odin, the king of Asgard, must enter once in a certain period of time. Through this deep sleep, his divine power, that is, Odin's power, is restored and his life is extended.

If Odin has exhausted his power before hibernation and is about to die or suffers serious injuries during this period, his body will force himself to enter Odin's sleep to heal and re-store his power earlier.

If Odin forcibly stops or does not enter it, his divine power will weaken and he will become weak and particularly vulnerable.

The weak Odin showed frequent lack of wisdom during this period, which is the appearance of his father before he lost his memory and went crazy, as Thor and Loki found him before Hela revived in Thor 3.

And if it is serious, even to the end, Odin's ability will not be restored, and if Odin is forced to wake up or forced to wake up during the hibernation period, then the interrupted Odin's sleep may even endanger his life.

Although the gods of Odin's lineage are born with the ability to become more powerful as they age, they also need to stabilize their own strength through a gradually longer hibernation period. Otherwise, they will suffer from dementia, serious injuries, or even directly endanger their lives and then die.

For Thanos, who knows a lot about this world, he is naturally more familiar with this one of the few powerful opponents.

And this is why Thanos dared to promise to become the king of Asgard for Loki.

Because even if the other party really got two infinite gems for him, let alone that he himself is not afraid of Odin at this stage.

With the Reality Gem and Space Gem alone, with his current understanding of these gems, it can be said that he can walk across the entire universe. (End of this chapter)
