89 Chapter 88. Stop time! Stand - The World! Loki's Sophistication!

Seeing the question, there was a moment of silence in the live streaming room, and everyone's expressions changed.

These answers all looked terrible.

Young Wanda took a sharp cold breath and suddenly felt a chill.

Tony, beside her, also slightly frowned.

Among the three answers, the first one represented Loki's willingness to kill his father for power.

And the second answer went even further!

It meant Loki wasn't satisfied with killing his adoptive father, Odin; he also wanted to kill his biological father, Laufey.

In contrast, the third answer was extremely dangerous.

If this answer was correct, it meant that Laufey fell into Loki's trap from the beginning and automatically stepped into a murderous game!

Even though the Frost Giants and Asgardians had always been enemies, it was quite shocking for Loki to treat his biological father like this.

[Thor: What are these answers? Why does it look so complicated? It's making me dizzy.]

[Tony Stark: It's complicated. Can't you see it now? The God of Mischief ... Loki is a deeply scheming guy!]

[Tony Stark: He and his foolish brother are completely different to the extreme.]

[Thor: Bastard! Why are you mortals always calling me foolish? I'm Odin's eldest son...]

[Natasha Romanoff: All right, great god. Please be quiet.]

[Natasha Romanoff: To cut to the chase, from the answer, the Loki on-screen isn't playing a simple game.]

[Natasha Romanoff: No matter which answer, the results behind it could give him a lot of benefits.]

[Natasha Romanoff: It can be said that, if moral factors are excluded, Loki, in reality, no matter which one of these three answers is chosen, is very wise.]

[Peter Parker: Natasha, how can you say that? Can't you see how horrible these answers are? He would be killing his own father!]

[Natasha Romanoff: In my country, killing a father to gain power isn't something uncommon.]

[Natasha Romanoff: What's more, if Loki could really successfully implement these plans, the benefits would be unimaginable!]

[Natasha Romanoff: In the face of such temptation, whether it's the adoptive father, who isn't related to him, or the biological father, who was always regarded as an enemy; both of them could be sacrificed.]

[Nick Fury: Natasha, you talk too much.]

[Natasha Romanoff: Sorry, Director.]

[Natasha Romanoff: But that's the philosophy of the organisation I used to work for. Do whatever it takes to get what you want.]

[Nick Fury: We at S.H.I.E.L.D. are different.]

[Tony Stark: Hahahaha ... Do you believe this? Ever heard of the idiom, both ravens and crows are black? You guys are no different.]

[Tony Stark: There's no such thing as a clean spy organisation.]

[Nick Fury: Stark, I'm not going to argue with you here.]

[Nick Fury: But ... that Loki is really a schemer. If Asgard really falls into his hands, it wouldn't be a good thing for all of the Nine Realms.]

[Loki Odinson: Humph! You're just a mortal. Why are you trying to interfere with godly matters? It's something you can't even reach.]

[Nick Fury: Hehe ... Sorry, I didn't mean to interfere. I'm just voicing my opinion.]

After saying that, Fury sat back in his chair and gently exhaled. His face reverted back to his usual expression.

By now, he could see it clearly.

Odin, the God-King, was obviously going to pass on the throne.

In that case, Fury certainly preferred ... if Thor became the King of Asgard!

If S.H.I.E.L.D. wanted to establish contact with Asgard, dealing with the foolish Thor was easier!

By contrast, that Loki wasn't only scheming, but, from the three options ... he could see that he was ruthless!

If he became the King of Asgard, they would be a threat to Earth!

[Wanda Maximoff: You guys are saying that Loki is some kind of schemer? Then who can tell me, other than the first option, what conspiracy is behind the two other answers?]

[Nick Fury: Heh... that's easy!]

[Nick Fury: The B answer means that Loki would first sneak Laufey into Asgard to kill Odin, and he would show up to kill Laufey to 'avenge his father'!]

[Nick Fury: In that way, not only could Odin be prevented from waking up and taking back the throne, but Laufey would be eliminated!]

[Nick Fury: No one can prove that he had sneaked Laufey in, dead men tell no tales.]

[Peter Parker: ... What a terrible conspiracy, killing two fathers for power!]

[Thor: Bah! What are you talking about? Loki and I only have one father, and that's Odin, the Allfather!]

[Nick Fury: You might think that, but what does Loki think?]

[Nick Fury: As for option C. In a sense, the ploy in this option is the most subtle.]

[Nick Fury: Because it's different from the first two options, if Loki follows this option, he will get something that ... even power and status can't make up for.]

[Natasha Romanoff: Director, is there such a thing in the world?]

[Nick Fury: Of course, it is honour and prestige!]

[Nick Fury: As you can see, in the previous video, no matter the warriors or Heimdall, their attitude towards Loki is extremely bad. They didn't even think of him as a Prince. It's no match for Thor!]

[Thor: Is there such a thing? I thought they just didn't like Loki playing tricks all day... No! Playing with magic.]

[Master Mordo: Magic? ... If a bastard like you becomes king, then Asgard is doomed.]

[Thor: Damn it! What did you say?!]

[Nick Fury: Let's not get ahead of ourselves. Anyway, if Loki could kill the Frost Giant when Laufey invades Asgard and is about to kill Odin! Then he would immediately become the hero who saved the King!]

[Nick Fury: Do you know who Asgard's most famous hero was before?]

[Thor: Haha, do you need to ask? It's Odin's eldest son, the invincible God of Thunder, Thor!]

[Peter Parker: ... So that's it, I get it.]

[Stephen Strange: In this way, he could raise his fame to be comparable with Thor, and furthermore ... allowing the people of Asgard to accept him! It sure is a good plan.]

[Nick Fury: Not only that but after taking Laufey out, Loki would have a reason to launch an attack against Jotunheim! With the Frost Giants missing a leader, it'll be a sure win!]

[Nick Fury: First saved Odin, then led Asgard's army to victory on the battlefield. He would gain honour. Would anyone disrespect him as the new King?]

[Master Mordo: Ah, such a smart scheme, Loki! He's got it all figured out, everyone is his pawn.]

Seeing that, off-screen, people's hearts were smashed with wave after wave of shock.

In Asgard.

'Your Majesty ...' Frigga looked at Odin, with a nervous expression on her face that was unbearably torn.

To be fair, he would prefer that the correct answer was C.

Because this was the only answer in which Odin didn't need to be killed.

Sensing his wife's worried gaze, Odin's face was a little gloomy.

'It seems like I underestimated this adopted son.'

In the eyes of ordinary Asgardians, the so-called God of Mischief was just a young prince who liked to play pranks.

But now, Odin realised how ruthless Loki was!

Not to mention options A and B, even option C was full of intrigue and calculations.

In addition to his biological father Laufey, even the unconscious God-King Odin had become a tool for Loki to gain fame and consolidate power!

Such a tactic was not only sophisticated but cunning!

But Odin glanced at the messages at the bottom of the screen, and a hint of disdain passed through his eye again.

'That mortal named Nick Fury is making a lot of noise about this, just to tarnish Loki's image in front of me so that I won't pass the throne to him."

'No wonder Loki would say that he was a mortal who wanted to interfere with godly matters. This ordinary mortal is truly ignorant.'

After taking a deep breath, Odin regained that cold expression.

As a God-King, he still had a lot to think about, and a mortal's thoughts weren't worth his time.

'Uh...'

Wanda kept her head down. She mumbled to herself...

"After all those messages, is Nick trying to say that option C is correct?"

"Not necessarily."

Strange spoke with a frown...

"Although option C could gain the greatest honour and prestige for Loki, he has to keep Odin alive. If you look at it from a purely practical point of view, that isn't a wise option."

"Mr Strange, what are you talking about?"

Peter's eyes revealed a hint of annoyance.

"Loki was raised by Odin. How could he possibly lay a hand on his adoptive father?"

Strange shrugged his shoulders, turned away to look at Tony, and saw the wry smile in the other party's eyes.

Human nature was the most difficult thing to figure out.

This time, the three options were all very rewarding from a sensible point of view.

Therefore, even they weren't sure which path would Loki, from the parallel universe, choose.

And if they answered at random, without certainty, wasn't that just tripping themselves up and helping others?

How could clever people like Tony Strange do such a stupid thing?

Natasha stood by, but there was a bitter smile on her face.

After losing twice in a row, she didn't want to gamble on this question.

At this point, Loki's face suddenly showed an expression of relief.

"Hahaha ... I see, I see."

Loki's trademark smile appeared again. Just now, that frightened, distressed look had disappeared without a trace.

Then, he looked up and immediately answered with a loud voice.

"I choose C. Loki wants to kill Laufey when he invades Asgard so that he could be a hero that saved Odin and could launch a counterattack to take Jotunheim in a fair manner!"

Soon, the voice of the system rang again.

[Ding! Loki Odinson has answered. The Quiz system will rule ...]

[Ding! Loki Odinson's answer is correct.]

"Humph ... sure enough."

Loki took a deep breath, and the expression on his face regained its calmness.

By now, he had figured it out.

He had no control over how Odin and all those other Asgardians viewed him.

So instead of worrying about things that he couldn't change, it was better to forge ahead and try to get more correct answers in this system!

In this way, maybe he could get a ... powerful reward that could change his fate.

Maybe, it was a very slim chance, but if he even gave up on this chance, then what was left?

Sit there and wait for Thanos to kill him?

As for answer C, his reasoning was very simple.

Until now, Loki still regarded Odin as his father.

Therefore, he didn't want to believe that the self in the parallel universe would be so ruthless and cold towards Odin!

Hearing the system's voice, Frigga finally showed a hint of joy on her face.

She quickly turned back to Odin and said ...

"Your Majesty, look! I told you, Loki would never hurt you."

Odin nodded, but there wasn't much joy in his eye.

In this C option, Loki didn't personally kill his adoptive father but did kill his biological father, Laufey!

Not only that, he wanted to use this self-directed show of saving the king to further invade Jotunheim in order to establish his invincible and wise image!

'This boy really can't be taken lightly ...'

At this point, the system's voice continued to sound.

[Loki Odinson gets 100 live broadcast points, which can be used to request the broadcasting of past or future events related to himself.]

[Loki Odinson won a random reward ... Stand: The World!]

[This Stand has the ability to stop time. Although it can only stop for a moment at first, with practice, the Time Stop can infinitely grow and extend!]

"What? Time Stop?"

Hearing that, Loki froze in surprise. His eyes were full of disbelief! It was almost as if he was dreaming!

'Time ability!'

In Loki's impression, except for the Infinity Gauntlet, he had only seen a similar ability in one place.

That was the ... Time Variance Authority that could even outsmart him, the God of Mischief!
