Chapter 547: Not Fond of Gemstones and Purple Sweet Potato Spirit (Part 1)_2

And it can also be used for making nuisance calls.

So, Loki alone is equivalent to a telecommunication fraud company that can infinitely change her number and IP, thereby harassing her customers.

After being hung up by Thanos multiple times, Loki is still not planning to give up. She used avatar magic to create a dozen of herself and then took turns calling Thanos.

Some might ask, couldn't Thanos just not answer the phone? But Thanos is not an ordinary person idling at home; he's the leader of an empire, handling countless matters every day.

Loki constantly changed her number, and Thanos couldn't tell which ones were her nuisance calls and which ones were normal calls. He couldn't possibly hang up all the calls because that would mean not developing the Dark Quadrant.

The reason why Thanos refused Loki so firmly is, of course, due to his wisdom.

Loki already had the words "I am a scammer" written on her face. Races less intelligent than Thanos in the cosmos, civilizations inferior to the Dark Quadrant, have analyzed the situation thoroughly. It's purely a scam, how could Thanos fall for it?

In the age when Odin dominated the world, there were few rivals in the cosmos. Asgardians grow stronger with age, and no one knows how strong Odin is now. Plus the so-called new king. Even Thanos, without his gauntlet and gemstones, has to consider if he'll walk into a trap.

Even if we retreat ten thousand steps, I absolutely can't do what my enemies want me to do. The more you want me to fall into your trap, and lure me with all kinds of divine artifacts and gemstones, the more I can't waver.

Whether to steal the gemstones is up to me, not whether you let me. Otherwise, wouldn't I be working for you?

This was Thanos' thought, but Loki was extremely persistent. She began to neither eat nor sleep, but instead created dozens of avatars every day, taking turns changing her phone number to implement a bombardment of nuisance calls on Thanos.

Thanos couldn't physically assault Loki through the telephone line. Even if he could, he would have to consider the power of the Crown Princess of Asgard. If Asgard were to empty out and attack the Dark Quadrant, Thanos might survive, but his troops and weapons would be destroyed.

In the end, Thanos compromised.

In the last call made by Loki, he said to her, "Come to my throne hall, let's speak face to face."

The palace of the Dark Quadrant's leader star is located in the center of the city. The overall design is like a spear thrusting straight into the sky. The very top of the spear, the ultimate brightness, illuminates the entire planet. That is where Thanos' throne hall is.

To enter the throne hall, one must first cross a long corridor. The sky is always dim, like a twilight filled with shadows. Loki's black hair flutters in the wind. The sound of her heels stepping on the glass floor echoes in the twilight city sky.

When Loki appeared, she held her head high. A halo seemed to rise from her, making her look like a divine being descending to the earth.

Besides Thanos sitting on the towering throne, there was another lean figure standing at the foot of the throne. He had a grey skull and sunken eyes. Seeing Loki rest her gaze on him, the figure spoke.

"Hello, Your Highness the Princess. I am Ebony Maw, one of His Majesty Thanos' Black Order, and a general and advisor to the empire."

"Today, His Majesty wishes to discuss the future development of the empire with you. Please allow me to be present and offer my insignificant opinion…"

However, Loki frowned, and the halo around her suddenly flared brightly. An invisible wave was pushed back, accurately reflecting on Ebony Maw, causing him to step back and cough vigorously.

Loki said: "Ebony Maw, are you trying to control me mentally?"

Ebony Maw's face turned ugly. He didn't expect Loki to see through his unique skill.

Ebony Maw does have the ability to control minds, but his ability is not as comprehensive as Professor X's. He can bewilder minds with words, making others think along his lines. Despite not being as comprehensive as Professor X's, his ability is more specialized.

Loki snorted coldly, thinking about an entry in a booklet that Shiller had given her. She said: "Are you trying to control and repress me mentally? Or even planned to use extreme violence against me?"

The halo around Loki brightened once more. Even Thanos was somewhat dazzled and couldn't open his eyes. He snorted coldly and cast an unsatisfied glance at Ebony Maw.

Ebony Maw had asked to see Thanos, hearing that the latter planned to invite Loki. He wanted to show his prowess to Loki but ended up not only failing to diminish her aura but instead made her halo stronger.

Thanos guessed that the halo might be one of Loki's natural abilities. Regardless of what it is exactly, it seemed not to be trifled with.

He adjusted his sitting posture slightly and looked directly at Loki, saying: "You've been contacting me for so long. What do you really want to say? Forget about your deceptive tricks; let's talk about a real deal."

Loki reflexively wanted to make her sales pitch, but hearing Thanos' words, she realized Thanos had ulterior motives.

Then Ebony Maw, who was severely affected by the rebounding force, cleared his throat and spoke on behalf of Thanos:

"We are not interested in the Infinity Gems, but we are curious about Asgard's new tactic..."

Loki frowned. Of course, she knew that the rest of interstellar society believed that her calls for help were part of some Asgardian plot. But she never suspected that Thanos would show interest in it.

"His Majesty's empire is at its peak, but we will not stop here and still need more power. For this, I hope to understand how effective Asgard's tactic is and how it's implemented, as well as Asgard's future strategies."

Loki squinted her eyes. She had to admit that Thanos was somewhat smart. Compared to the elusive and trap-like Infinity Gems, intelligence on Asgard's strategy was indeed more crucial.

Loki displayed a professional smile, saying:

"Now, please allow me to introduce to you the origin of these tactical plans and their professional team who devised the brilliant strategies--The Sanctuary of the Nine Realms!"
