Chapter 277 : Loki’s Secret!!

"Clark, do you ever think that maybe in the Alligator Loki universe, everyone's an animal?"

"Kind of like Marvel's Animal World!"

As he spoke, Deadpool conjured various images with a green light ring.

Holding Thor's hammer, there was Frog- Thor Odinson!

Shouting, "Shield!" was the upgraded trial gorilla, Steve Rogers!

Hanging in a web was the little spider, Peter Parker!

The hermit crab with dark eyes hiding in a shell was Tony Stark!

And finally, a sexy human with a Colossus face on a cool motorcycle - Ryan Reynolds!

Superman chuckled at the front, still finding it amusing, but his expression turned serious as he watched the final scene unfold.

The Kryptonian man was highly skeptical, pondering if he could punch through Deadpool's face with a single blow.

[The scene continues.

[Loki rushed forward in an attempt to mediate the fight, but his efforts were futile.]

[Alligator Loki continued to firmly bite Black Loki's hand until Old Loki intervened, expending a great deal of energy to separate them.]

[As the battle subsided, Kid Loki spoke up, pointing to Old Loki: "Tell me your story."]

["Me?" Old Loki chuckled self-deprecatingly. "Forget it, kid. No one wants to hear my story."]

"Actually, I'm quite interested," Loki replied curiously.

"But seeing the other's obviously reluctant gaze, Loki quickly added, "I keep thinking, did we die? Didn't we perish at Thanos' hands after Ragnarok?"

["The Destroyer?"]

After Old Loki mused over the word, he sank back into the sofa, a look of dejection crossing his face, clearly stirred by memories.

He took a sip of red wine, let out a long sigh, and in a somber tone said, "In my timeline, life was normal until Thanos attacked our ship."

"Weren't you trying to assassinate him?" Loki asked tentatively.

"Of course not."

Old Loki glanced around at the others, then shrugged and said, "I must clarify in advance that I mean no offense, but weapons are utterly useless compared to Loki's magic. They only hinder our true potential in the mystic arts."

"Actually, Loki, you seem to struggle not only with weapons but also with magic," Thor seized the moment to quip.

Loki forced a refined smile.

"Thank you for the reminder. I shall apply myself to the study of magic," he thought bitterly, "and turn you into a frog and trap you in a bottle first!"

"But weapons do appear quite formidable," countered Black Loki at this point.

Loki sneered unabashedly, "Especially when they're around your neck, courtesy of Thanos, sending you crashing to the ground like trash."

Black Loki was rendered speechless and turned away with a wounded expression.

Old Loki paid the other no mind and continued with his tale:

"Once, I created a remarkably lifelike illusion of myself. Even Thanos was deceived."

"Then I shall feign death among the dead."

Loki felt a pang of emotion. His projected illusion had been realistic indeed, but in the end, he chose a different path. He observed his future self, noting the absence of regret or fear in his eyes—qualities his current self lacked.

Loki held his tongue regarding his own situation at the time and listened as Old Loki carried on:

"After my feigned death, I wandered the universe."

"Away from Thor, away from everything."

"During that time, I contemplated the universe, pondering where I truly belonged."

Here, Old Loki's eyes betrayed sadness and anger, and his voice grew suddenly impassioned:

"You know, at one moment, I realized wherever I go, I only bring pain and death!"

Old Loki chuckled at himself, "So I erased myself from the equation."

"I settled on a remote planet, alone and isolated, watching myself transform from a handsome Kid man to the frail old man I am now."

In those few words, every viewer could feel the pain in Old Loki's heart.

He couldn't defy his fate, unwilling to cause harm to others, so he chose to live out his days in solitude.

No one to talk to, no companionship, just loneliness. Unable to enjoy any material or spiritual pleasures!

Tony Stark couldn't bear it. If he had to live like that, he might as well not live at all.

Loki remained silent, unable to fathom how anyone could endure such a life.

"Don't worry, brother."

Thor emerged from the pool at that moment, placing a solemn hand on Loki's shoulder.

"I'll always stand by your side. Only death can part us."

Loki nodded, eyes welling with tears.

"Thank you... But it would have been better if you had arrived wearing at least some clothes."

["How did the Time Variance Authority find you then?" Loki inquired.

Old Loki took another sip of wine before responding, "Lonely. I've been so lonely."

Suddenly, Old Loki grinned sheepishly.

"To be honest, I miss my brother. I wonder if he misses me too."

"You know, Thor truly sees Loki as his little brother."

"Except for you," Old Loki added, eyeing Kid Loki, who had slain Thor.

Seeing the indifference, Old Loki continued, "As this thought consumed me more and more, just as I was about to leave that planet, the Time Variance Authority found me."

"Because, my friends, we can only play one role, and that's the role of the God of Exile."

"Come, let's toast to the God of Exile!" Old Loki raised his glass, and the others, including Kid Loki, followed suit.

Meanwhile, Loki sitting on the side could only shake his head helplessly, his counterparts proving to be just as mischievous as ever.

"But I'm different. Maybe one day I'll be the same, but not now." Loki stood abruptly, intent on leaving this comfort behind.

"Where are you going?" Old Loki asked in surprise.

"Loki firmly replied, 'I'm leaving here, stepping out of the void. It's time for TVA to have a new leader!'"

"You'll get yourself killed," Black Loki persuaded.

Loki said indifferently, "Then so be it!"

In Asgard, Thor stared at Loki with a mix of surprise and recognition, as if seeing him in a new light.

The Loki of old would never have uttered such words; it seems the power of love is truly potent.

"You've changed so much!" Kid Loki stepped down from the throne, looking at Loki in amazement.

"It's not that different," Loki responded as he saw Kid Loki approach, his excitement rising. "Have any of you ever encountered a female Loki?"

"That sounds terrifying!" Old Loki exclaimed, clutching his cloak with a hint of fear.

Loki became even more animated. "Exactly! But that's what makes her intriguing. I still remember the time she swept me off my feet and took off with a few punches. She's really something!"

"Now I understand why you never pursued women before, Loki!"

Watching the animated Loki on screen, Thor's eyes seemed to light up with revelation as he exclaimed with a shocked expression:

"So you've been a scoundrel all along!"
