Chapter 69: Thanos and Loki, The Trickiest Man (Part-1)
At the border and corner of the universe, in the deadly extinct star field.
Thanos welcomed a very special guest today.
Loki, who fell into the abyss of the universe in "Thor 1", was now restrained by his hands and feet, and was taken to Thanos as a captive.
Looking at the tall and stalwart Thanos, even Loki, who had always been very skinny, felt the pressure at this time.
Converging his iconic "smirk," his face became serious.
"The third child of Odin, the King of Asgard, Loki, right?"
He turned around and said to him, as Thanos apparently knew Loki's identity a long time ago.
"Uh, that's right. It's me, the respectable great Titan, Lord Thanos."
Loki said to Thanos in a flattering tone, but this didn't affect Loki's bitterness.
As if always playing, Loki had this special charm that could make all formal occasions turn weird.
In addition, Thanos’s real name was Thanos, and his nickname was not great Titan, but Crazy Titan.
The source of this nickname was due to Thanos’ crazy actions, who often slaughtered half of the lives on a planet.
"You should know my relationship with Asgard. I was defeated by Odin a long time ago."
"Now, give me a reason why I should not kill you today."
Thanos's tone was flat. He was not affected by Loki's flattery.
But this plain tone also contained killing intent, and he obviously didn't intend to let Loki go easily.
"I'm sorry for what happened to you, but in fact I also hate that old man."
"If you have carefully investigated my life experience, you should know that I am not actually Odin's son."
"I mean, if you want to get revenge on Odin, then you obviously shouldn't find me."
Loki tried to relax himself more, but his trembling body betrayed him.
In fact, Loki was still a little panicked. After all, it was Thanos who was standing in front of him.
Even Loki was terrified by the ruthless methods of this crazy Titan.
"You're right, the blood in your body comes from the frost giant, and you are born to be Asgard's mortal enemy."
Thanos spoke lightly, knowing Loki's details very well.
Obviously, Thanos also had his own information channel in the Nine Realms, and they could convey accurate information.
"Yes, the significance of the existence of the Frost Giant is to destroy Asgard."
"Speaking of which we still have the same enemy, we should be friends."
Loki looked at Thanos and said.
Now, in order to fight for the chance to survive, Loki didn't mind his humble performance.
"Friends? I never believe in friends, and I cannot believe in you even more."
"Loki, the god of tricks, I've heard of your reputation."
Thanos's face was obviously mocking him, and he sneered at the word friend said by Loki.
This situation made Loki feel bad.
He began to crazily think about what he should do to make his situation a little safer.
"If you don't like the word friend, what about partners?"
"Although I am the god of tricks, I am the person who pays the most attention to the spirit of contract. I have never cheated my partners."
Loki made a vow, guaranteeing that the determined look on his face almost convinced even his own self.
If Thor was here, he would definitely curse Loki's shamelessness.
Because the thing that Loki had done the most since he was a child was to use the name of a partner to cheat him hard.
Obviously, Thanos' intelligence collection work had not been so meticulous yet.
After hearing Loki's remarks, Thanos actually believed him a little bit.
"Tell me, what cooperative method do you have?"
Thanos looked interested, but the fierce light in his eyes did not converge.
Loki didn't doubt that if he didn't answer well, the end would be very serious.
After sorting out his thoughts, Loki had an idea in his mind.
"I have many abilities and can help you accomplish anything. I am definitely the best partner you can find."
"Why don't we make a deal. I will help you complete one thing, and you will let me go?"
Loki said to Thanos, with an "honest to god" smile on the corner of his mouth.
In fact, what Loki planned was that as long as he left Thanos’ lair, he would immediately hide for a while and wait until the limelight passed.
Who knew, Thanos really touched his chin and seriously considered this matter.
Because he happened to have one thing that needed someone to deal with it.
It's just that the General under his hand couldn't be free for the time being, so it had been put on hold.
Loki might be a good candidate right now.
"Are you really willing to do something for me? The thing I want you to do is not that easy to do."
Thanos really intended to let Loki try, because there was no more suitable candidate than Loki.
"But it doesn't matter, it's my honor to share the worries for the great Titan."
Loki smiled brighter, and said compliments without stopping.
If Thor could have half of Loki's eloquence, perhaps he would have won Odin's favor and become the king of gods.
"In the Midgard of the Nine Realms, there is something called the Universe Rubik's Cube. Can you retrieve it for me?"
Thanos said to Loki, while carefully observing Loki's expression.
He was trying to see if Loki would lie in any way.
When Loki heard these words, his heart was moved. He immediately knew what Thanos was talking about.
That was a treasure.
As for Midgard, which was the Earth, Loki still had some understanding about it.
Although human beings on the earth were a bit weak, the water was very deep.
At the same time, Loki thought more about what benefits he could get from Thanos?
After thinking about it, Loki made his own request to Thanos.
"I can agree to this, but I also have my own conditions."
"First of all, you have to give me an army, after all, the water in that place is deep."
"Secondly, I also need a handy weapon, which will allow me to perform better."
"Finally, I need to gain the domination of the earth, and the Cosmic Rubik's cube can belong to you."
"This is a fair deal, and I promise I will do it well."
Loki didn't worry that Thanos would reject him, the big deal was that he would ask for a little less benefits.
Anyway, discussing the conditions was by itself asking for a wild price and sitting on the ground to pay back.
What Loki didn't expect was that after Thanos thought about it, he nodded and agreed.
This was honestly so good.
Loki thought in his heart, and he even felt that Thanos's huge body no longer looked terrifying, but instead had a silly feeling.
"I can agree to your terms, but I also hope you can do as you say."
"If you mess up. Trust me even if you hide in any corner of the universe, and I will find you."
Thanos warned Loki, and at the same time picked up a scepter from behind. The yellow gem on the top of the scepter was particularly eye-catching.
Loki was a person who knew the goods. He knew what this yellow gem was at a glance.
One of the infinity stones, the mind stone.
And this was Loki's second condition, a weapon for him. In fact, Loki himself did not expect that Thanos would trust him so much.
Is it true that he was moved by my words and believed in me unreservedly?
If it was true, then this was so moving. How did such a person live in the universe until now?
What Loki didn't know was that Thanos didn't believe him at all, but felt that Loki didn't dare to lie to him.
There were many people who had deceived Thanos, but they were all dead.
Over time, no one in the universe dared to fool Thanos anymore.
Even today Thanos didn't think that Loki had the courage to lie to himself.
Little did he know that what he had encountered was the trickiest person in the entire Marvel universe.
The guy, Deadpool, was actually very troublesome, and he had an endless number of death seeking operations. But the wave of Deadpool was based on the premise that he knew he would not die.
But Loki was different. He used his own life to trick, so Loki was the real trickster, and he would start tricking when he was about to die.
"Happy cooperation, I will be able to bring us a victory soon."
Loki said, very satisfied, and his heart was even more excited. I, Loki, finally turned over today.
