บท 244: Chapter 245: Watching the Apocalypse with Female Loki
[+10 chapter daily on Patreon]
"Who said our Loki isn't a woman? How can you be so sure about that?" Stephen Strange asked in return, "Remember, Loki can shapeshift. What we see might not be true. She might not actually look the way she appears now, but rather transformed."
"Loki! Could it be that you're really a woman?" Thor turned to look at Loki, "All these years, have you been hiding your true form from me?"
"Hiding from you..."
"You're really my sister?" Thor was astonished.
"For Thor's sake, are you an imbecile!" Loki couldn't help but curse.
"Loki, how about you strip down right here so we can check, otherwise I won't be at ease thinking you're not a woman." Tony Stark said, "You are the God of Mischief after all."
"Are you also an imbecile? Why should I make you feel at ease?" Loki retorted, "Are we going to waste precious time on this boring question or start analyzing the situation?"
"Do we even need to say it? Of course, we should continue discussing Loki's gender," Stephen Strange said, "Just answer casually, Loki's gender must be clarified."
"Exactly, the rewards they give are useless to me anyway," Tony Stark enthusiastically added, "How Loki managed to flawlessly disguise herself in front of Thor all these years, I'm quite interested."
"..." Loki's face turned dark.
"The Tesseract can traverse space, so it's possible to escape from this impending apocalypse on the planet," Thor, giving Loki face, led the topic toward the answer, "So now the question is, did Loki bring the Tesseract with her?"
"I think it's unlikely," Loki said, "The Tesseract is useless at the TVA, and after being pricked by a drawer full of Infinity Stones, I don't think of the Tesseract as anything special. I'm not likely to carry it around."
"It's not necessarily like that," Steve Rogers said, "While the Tesseract doesn't work at the TVA, it can still be used outside. Although the arrival at Lamentis-1 was an accident, the portal was opened by Loki; he had the time device. This means he knew he could go outside the TVA. In that case, shouldn't he have brought the Tesseract?"
"If I had the Tesseract, why wouldn't I leave Lamentis-1 immediately?" Loki countered.
"Perhaps because you don't trust your female self," Steve Rogers said, "Perhaps for some other reason. Who knows, you are the God of Mischief, any inexplicable behavior isn't surprising on your part."
"It's the most formidable apocalypse; if I can escape, I definitely won't stay long," Loki said, "It can't be A."
"I'm not optimistic about option B either," Thor said, "The planet about to crash down is floating right above our heads. Can we make it in time from this close?"
"From Female Loki's words, we know that the catastrophe from the impact of this planet is extremely severe, with no survivors. So I think if you want to escape, you need to leave this planet on an evacuation ship and head into space," Tony Stark said, "Looking at the architecture of this place, their level of civilization isn't higher than Earth's; they probably can't reach space either."
"From this perspective, we're left to choose between C and D," Thor said to Loki, "I think C is the better choice. Loki, you wouldn't struggle with something as simple as recharging, would you?"
"How could that be?" Loki said immediately, "I am Loki, Odin's son. Charging wouldn't be difficult for me. And as for option D, that's not likely to happen. When I was at the TVA, I managed to escape, so how could they have captured me?"
"Did you forget that the reason you had a chance to escape the TVA was because they had captured you?" Bruce Banner reminded.
"That's different. At that time, I was encountering the TVA for the first time and didn't understand them," Loki said, "But in the video, I already knew what the TVA is, and I even had a time device. They won't be able to capture me."
"Are you so confident?"
"It's not confidence, it's power," Loki said, "Choose C!"
[Answer Incorrect! Deduct one year of lifespan!]
You could hear the sound of a slap resoundingly hitting.
"Loki, you really didn't handle this little task of charging," Bruce Banner said.
"Damn it, why did it turn out this way?" Loki's expression changed slightly; he did want that ability to travel through time.
"Perhaps it's because you haven't found electricity on that planet yet, and the TVA found you first," Steve Rogers said.
Not long after, the video began playing. Loki and Female Loki dashed into a room amid a rain of meteorites.
Even in this situation, the two were exchanging words, their knives flashing; they nearly started fighting again.
"Listen, are we really going to fight each other here? Again?" Loki asked.
"Then what do you suggest?" Female Loki retorted.
"I don't know, how about a truce?" Loki sheathed his knife, "Listen, if we can't open the time device, none of us will be leaving this planet."
"Where are you hiding it?" Female Loki pointed her knife at Loki.
"In my heart," Loki said.
"Then I'll dig it out!" Female Loki said fiercely.
"Alright, quite intriguing, quite affectionate," Loki said, "Fine, the time device is on me, but if you're constantly thinking about killing me, I won't get very far either!"
"You're full of lies!" Female Loki said, "Because you need me to charge it, that's why you saved me out there."
"Perhaps, yeah, there might be that reason," Loki said, "We could also slaughter each other in this abandoned mine, what do you think?"
"I think that's a good idea," Female Loki said, "The plan you disrupted, I've been planning it for many years, many years!"
"Understood," Loki said.
"I'll return to the TVA as soon as I activate the time device to finish the battle I started," Female Loki said.
"Very well," Loki said.
"Then I'll kill you at that time," Female Loki said.
"Or maybe I'll kill you," Loki said.
Female Loki gave a contemptuous smile and turned to leave.
"Where are you going?" Loki asked.
"There's power on this planet," Female Loki said, "We just need enough power to cross dimensions and time."
The two Lokis ran out of the small house and walked on foot on this planet that was about to be destroyed, searching for power.
"What's the plan?" Loki caught up with Female Loki and asked.
"There's a small town nearby. Can you just shut up?" Female Loki said, "Although I have to cooperate with you, it doesn't mean I want to hear your voice."
"Alright, slow down, Temporal Being," Loki said.
"Is there anywhere you don't understand the phrase 'die instantly'?" Female Loki said, "Don't call me Temporal Being!"
"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to call my faded copy 'Loki'," Loki walked side by side with Female Loki.
"Good, because I'm not that person anymore," Female Loki said, "Now I'm Sylvie."
"You changed your name? Wise move."
"It's a pseudonym."
"That's not something Loki would do."
"Is that so? Then what counts as Loki-like behavior?"
"Independence, authority, style," Loki used a few short words to describe, of course, just his opinion.
"So, naturally, you went to work for the boring oppressive time police," Female Loki said.
"I don't work for them, I'm just a consultant," Loki corrected.
"You don't even know what you want."
"Is that so? Then how about you?" Loki asked, "You've been planning for years just to destroy it, create an ultimate power vacuum, and then walk away?" Loki stopped, "I would never do that."
"Is that right? I'm not you," Female Loki turned around, "Can we hurry up and continue?"
The two arrived at the small town, but there was no one in the town. Fortunately, they learned from a resident who hadn't evacuated yet that everyone in town had gone to the Ark evacuation ship.
"That thing should be enough to charge the time device," Female Loki said.
"How do we get there?" Loki asked the resident.
"The train station is at the edge of town, but don't think you can buy tickets," the resident said.
Female Loki and Loki left, and when they arrived at the train station, they found a long line had already formed, everyone waiting to take the train to the evacuation ship.
"Seems interesting," Loki said.
"Let's go," Female Loki said.
"Don't think we'll just be able to get on the train," Loki said.
"Who said we're going to fight our way on?" Female Loki asked.
"Your plans always involve fighting," Loki said.
"Not this one," Female Loki clarified, "I'll use my enchantment to control a guard and have him lead us through the crowd. If anyone dares to cause trouble..."
"You'll have them shot?" Loki asked, "And then what? Kill all the guards, and then hijack the train?"
"Whether we fight or not depends on them," Female Loki said.
"This time, let's follow my plan," Loki's body emitted a flash of light and directly transformed into a guard, twisting Female Loki's arm behind her back as if escorting her, and they headed toward the train.
Loki tried to bluff his way onto the train, but he was stopped.
"I'm taking this person to Sulu," Loki blurted out a lie.
"Sure, where's your ticket?" the guard who stopped him asked.
"I have orders from above to bring her on board," Loki had no ticket, so he played this trick.
"Sir, they..." the guard wasn't dumb and was about to report, but just in time, Female Loki grabbed his arm and a green light flashed. The guard was under her control, and he told his superior, "Everything's fine. I just remembered that headquarters sent a message via radio this morning to have them board the train."
In this way, the two Lokis worked together and finally managed to get on the train.
Outside, meteor showers continued to fall, the land was a wasteland, a scene straight out of the apocalypse. However, the inside of the train was incredibly luxurious, elegantly dressed individuals drinking, laughing, and having a good time.
Loki and Female Loki found a sofa to sit on. Female Loki appeared a bit tired and yawned.
"Are you tired?" Loki asked, "Feel free to rest."
"I can't sleep in a place like this," Female Loki refused.
"You can't sleep on a train?" Loki found it strange.
"No," Female Loki corrected, "I can't sleep next to people I don't trust."
"Oh, so you're talking about me?" Loki finally understood what Female Loki was saying.
"But you can take a nap," Female Loki said.
"Nice try," Loki replied.
"I won't waste time looking for the time device everywhere. Obviously, someone taught you magic very well," Female Loki said.
"It was my mother," Loki said.
"What's she like?" Female Loki asked.
"She's..." Loki pondered his words, "the Queen of Asgard. She's great, very upright."
"Are you sure she's your mother?" Female Loki asked.
"No, actually, she's not. I'm adopted," Loki said, "Did I just spoil it? I'm really sorry."
"No, I knew I was adopted," Female Loki said.
"What?" Loki was surprised, "They told you?"
"Yes," Female Loki answered, "Didn't they tell you?"
"No, I mean, they eventually told me," Loki became interested, "Tell me about your mother."
"I don't remember her much," Female Loki said, "Nowadays, there are only fragments of dreams left."
"When I was little, she would perform little magic tricks for me, like turning flowers into frogs, setting off fireworks on water. It all seemed so incredible," Loki said, "But she told me that one day I could do it too, because I can do anything."
Female Loki didn't say anything, wondering if she envied the other version of herself for having such wonderful memories with her mother.
"Want to see?" Loki opened his palm, and suddenly fireworks launched into the air with a "whoosh."
Perhaps this conversation opened up a bit of trust in Female Loki towards Loki. She had just said he wouldn't sleep, but now she was falling asleep.
When she woke up, she found Loki, that flirt, singing along with a few girls.
Who knows what Loki was thinking? Why couldn't he hold off flirting until a better time? Just at this moment, someone began to suspect him and called for the guard.
"Sir, can you show your ticket?" the guard asked Loki again.
"Oh, it's you again. Hello. The ticket? Of course, here you go," Loki reached out his hand, and fireworks appeared in his palm.
Who knows if Loki's mind was clouded by Female Loki's charm, as he could easily have transformed a ticket. In fact, when they boarded the train, he could have easily transformed two tickets, not guards.
But he didn't. Loki never even thought of transforming a ticket.
The guard wanted a ticket, not fireworks.
So, the guard took action.
But is Loki the kind of person who would surrender quietly?
No.
So, Loki took action.
In the train compartment, a battle erupted between the two sides. And Loki, this loser, fought until the end, only to be thrown out of the train by two guards!
"Time device." Female Loki needed the time device to leave, so naturally she couldn't leave Loki behind. She leaped out of the window.
