Chapter 536 Loki, would you like to work for me?
Why did Rune bring all the other heroes to live in the DC Universe, but not Asgard out of the space he created?
The reason is actually quite simple: the gods in the DC Universe can tolerate the emergence of powerful mortals like Green Lantern and Superman on Earth, but they cannot tolerate the emergence of another group of gods who would compete with them for faith.
If Rune dares to relocate the Jade Emperor, Zeus, Odin, and other gods, a great war will immediately break out in the DC Universe, and mortals will undoubtedly be affected as well, which is not in Rune's interest.
However, the situation has now changed. Rune killed three Greek gods, a large number of mythical creatures and demigods, causing the power of the Greek pantheon to plummet. But Darkseid, for some unknown reason, is frantically expanding his army. Therefore, the Greek pantheon urgently needs an ally.
Rune's first thought was naturally of the gods who were enjoying their retirement in the universe he had created. Athena and Rune had searched for them from the weakest to the strongest, but for some reason, none of them were willing to leave this small universe.
In the end, only the Jade Emperor and Odin remained. Considering cultural attributes, Rune brought Athena to Odin first, and Odin was clearly interested in it.
Therefore, there is still a high probability that Thor will not be kept under house arrest, but will be released by Odin to the mortal world, so that he can continue to fight alongside those mortals and be ready to support Athena in resisting Darkseid.
"What did you say?" Thor, who had been slumped on the ground, opened his eyes wide upon hearing Rune's words. He stood up urgently and grasped the powerful mage's hand. "Are you telling the truth?"
After seeing Rune nod, his face showed a series of expressions, including surprise, astonishment, and excitement. Then he ran around like a fool, laughing happily.
The three most unbreakable bonds between men are nothing more than studying together, fighting side by side, and—um. Thor and Iron Man have faced life and death together many times; their relationship has long surpassed that of ordinary friends.
Hogan, Volstagg, and Fandral exchanged glances, then looked at Rune and sighed. They'd finally gotten Odin to give up on imprisoning Thor, only to have Thor turn around and go back to Earth again—
Loki seized the opportunity to move closer to Rune. "I just noticed that you seem to have many questions?"
Rune glanced at Loki in surprise. Why could Loki read his mind?
Loki smiled without speaking. The lie was indeed related to his divine duty, but he couldn't penetrate the runes' telepathy to see through the mage's thoughts. However, given his position, if he weren't adept at reading people—
Seeing that Loki was unwilling to talk about it, Rune didn't press the matter further. "Alright, I do have some questions, such as why the other gods are unwilling to leave the universe I created."
Loki understood, and a secret joy filled him, for he actually knew the answer to this question. So he whispered a reminder: "Even a sovereign and powerful mage like yourself would forget Galactus and the Elder of the Universe?"
Rune finally understood. Before becoming a unit of combat power and a stepping stone for the new villain, Galactus was first and foremost one of the five primordial gods. But Loki was certainly not referring to Galactus's identity, but rather his origin.
The origin of this deity is actually quite simple. He was originally a scientist in a civilization, but by sheer luck, he became the last surviving being in the universe. He accidentally combined with the remaining energy of the dying universe and became a planet devourer in the new universe.
As for the Cosmic Elders, they are the survivors of the first civilizations in the history of the universe. They all possess the ability of immortality, so that over the long years, their abilities in certain aspects have become quite powerful.
For example, the speed of a runner is comparable to the Speed Force, and the formidable strength of a champion, etc.
The other gods residing in the Rune Universe have now become beings similar to cosmic elders and planet devourers. As long as they remain in this universe, they will receive a continuous stream of opportunities.
"Thank you for your explanation." Rune gently patted Loki on the shoulder. "By the way, would you be interested in doing something for me?"
Rune needed someone to help him keep an eye on those Greek gods; he knew all too well the filth in those bastards' hearts.
Look at Wonder Woman. She never talks much about her father. Apart from Amazon, the phrase she uses most often is "in the name of Hera." Although Hera is always targeting her, Diana knows that it's not all the goddess's fault.
Then look at Thor. When he fights, he always shouts "For the glory of Asgard!" and doesn't shy away from the fact that he is a Norse god. That's the difference.
Upon receiving Rune's invitation, Loki's lips curled into a smile. He bowed slightly and said, "I am willing to help you with your troubles."
Continuing to stay in this universe may allow one to become a cosmic elder or even a planet devourer, but how can that compare to following Rune?
Rune smiled and nodded. Loki's divine duties included deception, and it just so happens that the slain Hermes also possessed the concept of deception. What a coincidence!
Soon, Athena pushed open the door. Clearly, she had reached an agreement with Odin. The beautiful goddess looked calm, as if she had paid a price. Odin, on the other hand, looked very gloomy when he left, while his brother, the Serpent, was smiling.
The scene outside the door enraged Odin even more, because his own son, the crown prince of Asgard and the future Rune King, was happily jumping around in only his underwear and pajamas.
"Thor—!"
Thor's smile froze. He turned around haltingly and said awkwardly, "Father—Father—"
Loki was overjoyed, but maintained a sorrowful expression. The serpent, unable to contain its emotions, burst into laughter.
Loki stood beside Rune, quietly observing the mage's actions. During their casual conversation, he had just learned of the mage's thoughts—this powerful being wanted to create the first star in this universe.
"Or perhaps it's more appropriate to call him the Sun," Rune said, holding a palm-sized cube in his hand. The cube had a smooth surface, but it had a strange feel to it, making Loki feel nauseous.
The location of the star the wizard chose to reshape was quite far from the core of the universe, and it was almost empty. In Loki's eyes, the wizard's black robes blended into the background, and only his pale face was shimmering.
-
How was he going to create a star? Why call this star the Sun? Loki was full of questions, while Rune simply raised the cube to eye level, and then a cluster of flames spontaneously combusted from the bottom of the cube.
Loki immediately stopped his wild thoughts, for he knew he was about to witness the birth of the sun.
