☆、Prologue

Loki faded away from his transformed Odin form, returned to his own form, and stepped into the dark cave.

The pool in the cave emits a chilly air.The echo of the water waves hitting the stone wall is like a ghost, mocking him as an unexpected visitor.

Loki whispered a few spells into the pool, and then said loudly:

"I, Loki, Lord of Asgard, God of trickery, come to ask some questions from the Three Fates."

The water surface in the pool suddenly began to fluctuate violently, and there was a burst of laughter from the depths of the pool: "You are not the Lord of Asgard, you just deceived the world."

"My identity has nothing to do with my problems."

"God of tricks, you should know that there is a price to pay for asking the goddess of fate."

Loki spread out his palm, and a cosmic Rubik's Cube glowing with blue light appeared impressively.

"Infinity gems are the most powerful energy source in the universe. Even a little bit should be enough to complete the transaction."

"So it's the holder of the Space Gem, interesting." The laughter in the depths of the pool gradually approached, "Then, God of Trick, what do you want to know?"

"Thanos," Loki said literally, "I want to know how to beat him."

☆, soul body Loki

([-]) Soul body Loki

"Loki..." Thor looked at the man in front of him in disbelief.

"I thought it would be a long time before we saw each other, brother."

At this moment, Loki is dressed neatly and elegantly, looking at Thor with a smile, and seems to have become the confident and wise evil god again, without the miserable embarrassment of death.

Looking at Thor who seemed petrified, Loki shrugged: "Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"I..." Thor suddenly felt a thousand words stuck in his chest, but he didn't know where to start, "Loki... why are you here?"

"Don't you want to see me?"

"Of course not!" Thor almost blurted out, God knows how much he misses the little bastard! "But Princess Su Rui persuaded Heart Shaped Grass to only see ancestors and blood relatives, you..."

Before Thor could finish speaking, he suddenly felt something flash in his mind.

"No, this is not Valhalla! Loki, this is your fantasy, right?! You didn't actually die, did you?!"

He walks quickly towards Loki, trying to grab him, only to watch as the hand he intended to put on Loki's shoulder passes through him.But at the same time, there was no sign of any magic on Loki's body, that is to say, this was not a phantom conjured by Loki.

"Well, you are half right." Loki sighed, "This is indeed not Valhalla. But, I am really dead, brother. What you see now is only my soul."

"No, that's impossible." Thor's tone became urgent, "If you're really dead, how could you not be in Valhalla? If this isn't Valhalla, where is this place? Loki, where are you?"

Loki didn't answer right away, but the illusion around the two of them gradually faded away, revealing their original true form.

Thor is surprised to find the place oddly familiar, a stone chamber.He turned his head and found that his body was lying on the red sand in the center of the stone room, while Princess Su Rui and Rocket beside him were watching the situation nervously.

"I'm right here with you, brother."

"What the hell is going on here?" Thor felt like he was about to be confused.

"Thor, although you don't like magic classes, you should at least have heard that spell." Loki paused, "The way to prevent the souls of the gods from ascending to Valhalla after death."

Thor feels his heart sink as a bad thought forms in his mind.He clearly remembered that Loki called out the Hulk at that time, and rushed over at once, pulling himself out of Thanos' attack range, even ignoring the Rubik's Cube.But after that, Loki suddenly disappeared into the dark, at least for more than a minute.At that time, Thor was restrained by Ebony Maw, and had to pay attention to the situation on Hulk and Heimdall, and did not notice Loki's movements.

But now, if he's right, Loki was...

Thor felt himself trembling uncontrollably: "Loki, where did you go during the time Hulk and Thanos were fighting...you wouldn't..."

"The spell did take a long time, but I succeeded." Loki smiled helplessly, "You guessed it, brother, I...cursed my soul."

According to the legend of Asgard, the souls of all the dead gods will ascend to Valhalla after death, except for one case - that is, the soul is cursed by the gods.In that case, this soul will never be able to go to the world of heroes, and can only wander in the world until the power of the soul is exhausted.

"Why on earth did you do this?!" Thor felt like he was going crazy, "Why did you go to die at that time? You knew that such a sneak attack could not hurt Thanos at all! He had already got the space gem at that time, if you Without provoking him, maybe you can survive..."

"No, brother, you are wrong, Thanos didn't intend to keep us alive from the beginning."

"what?"

"I've been by his side for so long, how could I not know his purpose?" Loki smiled wryly, "No matter where he is, Thanos' style has always been to kill half and keep the other half. When he let Valkyrie and their half go When the spaceship was opened, I knew that people on our side would not survive. Moreover, he had already obtained the power gem from Xandar at that time, even if he didn’t kill us himself, he would use the gem to directly destroy the spaceship.”

As it turns out, Thanos did exactly that in the end.

"But even so, why do you want to curse your own soul?"

"Because only a cursed soul can use its spiritual power to the greatest extent, and only in this way can I be sure to save you when the spaceship explodes. But... I must die before that."

At that time, Loki was strangled by Thanos, and he tried his best to spit out those words to Thanos: "You...willneverbe...agod..."

Then, he felt that his vitality was being stripped away little by little, and finally it was completely cut off with the fracture of the neck bone.

When the soul left the body, he saw his body thrown in front of Thor by Thanos like trash.He saw the pain in Thor's eyes, he saw Thor spitting blood and crawling slowly towards his corpse, then lay on his heart and cried his name.

He wanted to respond to Thor, but he couldn't do it anymore, and he didn't have the time.The spaceship has already begun to explode under the influence of the power gem. Loki exhausted what he had learned all his life, and quickly mobilized his spiritual power, mobilizing it to the extreme, and then spread an invisible defense net from his whole body, wrapping Thor in it.

Just as he was about to finish, the ship blew apart, Thor passed out from the force of the impact, and Loki felt his own soul almost shattering.Fortunately, in the end, relying on the willpower and mental strength of the nine strongest magicians, he finally saved Thor.

Loki's soul had to go into a brief hibernation due to expending a lot of soul power.Before he fell into a deep sleep, he saw a small spaceship coming towards them not far away, and it should have received the distress signal sent by the Asgard spaceship.

"They must know that someone is alive here." Loki thought as he looked at the wreckage and corpses around him.So, with the last of his mental strength, he pushed Thor's body towards the small spaceship, and let his soul reside in Thor's right eye.

After hearing all this, Thor fell into shock and couldn't say a word for a long time.Only now did he finally understand why he survived the explosion without even a single serious trauma on his body.He didn't expect that Loki would voluntarily give up his life, and even cursed his own soul, just to win him a chance.And the reason why the right eye that Rocket gave him didn't work was probably because Loki was sleeping there at that time.

"You should be happy, brother. At least I didn't betray you or lie to you this time."

"I'd rather you lie to me." Thor held his forehead in pain, "Why did you save me...I'd rather die with you..."

"No, Thor." Loki stared at him, "We have no chance of victory unless you live."

Thor looks at him suspiciously.

"Do you really think that I did nothing during the years I pretended to be Odin? I know Thanos better than any of you, and I knew that this day would come sooner or later. So, I went to ask the three goddesses of fate."

"You went to the phantom pool?"

"Exactly. And they told me that to defeat Thanos, your survival is a necessary condition."

When Loki's soul awakened again, it was when Thor opened the dwarf star furnace.He was almost scared out of his wits when he figured out what Thor was doing.

"Are you crazy?! What are you doing?!" Loki's spirit roared at Thor, who couldn't hear him at all.

Loki wanted to open the defensive net again but it was too late, he could only watch helplessly as the rays of stellar energy pierced Thor's body, burning it to pieces.But Thor still held on to the handbrake until he exhausted all his strength and fell dying from the mouth of the furnace.

"You lunatic, lunatic..." Loki quickly followed Thor's side, he could only concentrate as best as he could, and started some healing magic for Thor.It's a pity that the little soul power that has just recovered is really a drop in the bucket for Thor's severe burns.

Please, someone will save him...

Loki sees a furry creature leaping from the spaceship to Thor's side; and sees a Groot cut off his own arm to make a hammer handle for a new weapon Thor has forged so desperately.The king's weapon restores the strength in Thor and finally heals his wounds.

And Loki also accidentally discovered that his soul power could resonate with this weapon, so after that, he has been living on the Storm Axe.

He witnessed with his own eyes how Thor descended on the battlefield of Wakanda like a god, using the power of thunder to defeat those alien creatures.

He's proud of Thor, even if he can't see it.

"It turned out to be like this." Thor smiled wryly, "Unfortunately, we have already lost the battle... Thanos got all the Infinity Stones, and half of the life in the universe has died. This is my fault, I... should have aimed at Annihilation." Ba's head..."

"No, Thor, don't blame yourself, it's all fate." Loki said in a reassuring tone, "Besides, they may not really be dead."

"What do you mean?"

"Goddess of Fate also told me one more thing. The soul of the person killed by the Infinity Gem will be trapped in the Soul Gem." Loki looked at Shu Rui, "The bottle of reagent that this little girl asked you to drink is not enough Let her reach the realm of the ancestors, but it can temporarily leave your soul, so we can talk here. However, even if she succeeds in developing it, I’m afraid she won’t be able to get what she wants.”

"Loki, are you saying that those who disappeared may return?"

"As long as the soul in the soul gem is released and combined with the power of the other gems, the ending may not be irreversible."

Thor still wanted to ask something, but he felt something strange about his soul body, as if being pulled by something, feeling heavier and heavier.

"It seems that the effect of the medicine is about to wear off."

Thor suddenly felt a little flustered: "Loki, will I see you when I wake up?"

"After your soul returns to your body, you won't be able to see me."

Looking at Thor whose eyes were almost reddening, Loki chuckled, "However, it's not impossible to contact him at all."

He stepped forward, put his hand gently on his forehead, and chanted a spell.

"This is my soul imprint, with it we can have a spiritual connection, when you touch the storm axe, you can hear my voice." Loki whispered in Thor's ear, "I will always be by your side, brother."

☆, Strange's message

([-]) Strange's message

In Wakanda's chamber, all the surviving Avengers sat together, deeply shocked by the news Thor brought.

"So you're saying..." Banner rubbed his hands uneasily, "You saw Loki's spirit? He told you that those who disappeared were trapped in the soul stone?"

"That's right. I drank Princess Su Rui's medicine and temporarily entered a state of out-of-body state, so I saw him. It turns out that these days, he has been by my side all the time, on the Storm Axe." Thor lightly raised his hand The weapon in his hand revealed a relieved smile.

Everyone looked at each other, with complex expressions on their faces.

"Uh, Thor, it's not that we don't believe you, it's just that I heard that Princess Su Rui's medicine is still in the experimental stage, can you be sure that it's the medicine's efficacy? Or is it some kind of hallucination of yours?" Natasha asked with a frown .

She has seen Thor's state these days.Although they hadn't seen each other for nearly three years before Thor came to Wakanda, she could still clearly sense Thor's abnormality.

According to Banner, Thor lost his homeland in Ragnarok and Loki in Infinity War.The moment he smashed the ax into Thanos' chest, Thor was like a god of revenge, full of anger and violence.And after he learned that his revenge failed, he fell into deep self-blame, thinking that the demise of half of the universe's creatures was his own responsibility.

Sadness, anger, anxiety, self-blame, when all kinds of negative emotions are brought together in one place, even God may not be able to bear it.

In addition, although Natasha's impression of Loki only stays in the New York War a few years ago, she knows that there are thousands of years of love and entanglement between Thor and Loki.Banner said that after Ragnarok, the two had reconciled as before, so Loki's death was undoubtedly a huge blow to Thor.Therefore, she has every reason to doubt Thor's mental state at the moment.

"What I said is true!" Thor was a little dissatisfied with everyone's attitude, "Loki resides on my storm axe, as long as I hold it, I can hear Loki's voice."

"Uh...but we can't hear it, can we?"

"Yes. But he's here!" Thor whispered, leaning closer to the axe. "Loki, do something to make them trust me."

This move was really indescribably weird on this occasion, and what was even worse was that there was not even an echo on the axe.

"Loki? Loki!" Thor began to feel a little anxious, and tapped the storm ax lightly, "Loki, answer me!"

The room remained silent. Thor looked up at the crowd, and saw Banner and Natasha looking at him with a look of pity and concern.

"No, listen to me, this must be..."

"I believe him!" Princess Su Rui finally couldn't listen anymore, "This is the medicine I developed, I have confidence!"

"But……"

"I also want to believe in Thor." Tony, who had just recovered from his serious injury, also said, "Anyway, we are going to find Thanos to settle accounts. If their souls are really there, everything can be restored to the original, for us What's the downside? Could it be worse than it is now?"

Steve nodded: "Tony is right, at least we have hope now. But the problem is, we don't know where Thanos has gone, and even if we want to get the gems back, we can't do anything..."

"No, Thanos is not something we should worry about right now."

Before Steve finished speaking, a magical passage appeared in the space in front of everyone, and a fat man wearing a mage's robe appeared in front of everyone.

"king?"

"I am here to convey the message to you on behalf of the Supreme Master."

"Strange? He... isn't he...?"

Wang took out a palm-sized, smooth and flat gray stone from his pocket, and placed it in the center of the table.

"This is the 'Stone of Missing', the secret treasure of Kamataki, where a mage with advanced cultivation can store his consciousness. After Strange has seen more than 400 million endings on Titan, Just inject a wisp of your own spiritual consciousness into it, and secretly bring a clone to me, and tell me to hand it over to you after half of the universe's creatures disappear."

The Avengers watched the king mobilize his mana and undo the seal on the Stone of Thought.A stream of light faintly glowed on the surface of the stone, and Strange's image slowly appeared, appearing in front of everyone like a holographic projection.

"Everyone, if you can see this image, it proves that Thanos has snapped his fingers, and half of the creatures in the universe, including me, have disappeared." Strange's image said calmly, "However, you don't have to It's too sad, because all this is not the end, but just an inevitable process-including the failed battle plan on Titan."

At that time on Titan, Tony and the others carried out Star-Lord's plan, gathered the strength of everyone to temporarily subdue Thanos, and tried to take the Infinity Gauntlet from his hand.It's a pity that at just a little bit, Xingjue accidentally learned that Thanos had killed Gamora, so he lost control and ran away, and woke up Thanos, resulting in a failure in the end.

"Of course I foresaw Star-Lord's actions, but I didn't intend to stop them at all, because in order to achieve the final victory, it is inevitable for Thanos to collect all the gems and snap his fingers." Strange continued, "I know this It sounds incredible. But Thanos is not our only enemy. There are many times in the 14000605 futures I have seen, we have taken off the gloves and even defeated Thanos, but after that, more will happen For something terrible..."

"I'm sorry that I can't disclose the specific situation to you. Otherwise, it will destroy the law of cause and effect and cause serious consequences. However, please believe that the current situation is the only way to solve it. It's just that the process will be a bit difficult, because we have to regroup Infinity Gems."

"Regather all the gems? But aren't all the gems now in the hands of Thanos?" Rocket finally couldn't help interjecting, as if he forgot that Strange in front of him was just an image.

"The current location of Thanos cannot be reached without the Infinity Gem. Therefore, you cannot take the Gem from him." Strange seemed to understand everyone's doubts, "But, we The current universe is not the only existence. There are infinitely many branches of time and space, and these branches are the so-called parallel universes. This kind of parallel is not a two-dimensional parallel in the mathematical sense, but by the same Different results produced by the nodes. That is to say, every choice we faced in the past will be split into multiple universes due to different options, and these universes are independent of each other."

"My God! Can you say something I can understand." Rocket leaned on his forehead and slumped on the chair in despair.

Banner pushed his glasses: "This sounds a bit like the theory of quantum physics."

"In short, you need to travel between different parallel universes to obtain different infinite gems. This is the best way to avoid paradoxes in time and space. As for the method of travel and the time node you need to go to, someone will come soon Let me explain to you." Strange's image began to become somewhat blurred, "Guys, please remember that everything just needs to go with the flow, and the people and things that should appear will naturally appear before your eyes when the time comes."

Strange's image disappeared completely, and the Stone of Thought returned to its original state.The king put away the stone.

Everyone in the chamber looked at each other in blank dismay, still digesting the information Strange brought.

But Thor hastily backed away because he was more anxious about one thing - Loki didn't answer his call.He didn't know if there was something wrong with the spiritual connection, or—

"It seems that the second-rate mage still has some skills. Of course, a large part of it is due to the time gem."

Thor was still counting all kinds of possibilities in his mind, but the voice of that little troublemaker suddenly sounded clearly in his mind.

"Loki!" Thor roared angrily, "Why didn't you respond to me just now?!"

"Oh, you know I have some issues with the Avengers, I don't want to play tricks in front of them."

"Even so, you should tell me." Thor sat down on a chair slumped, "You know I can't see you, if you don't respond to me, I will worry. Just now I thought... "

"What for? Do you think my soul is gone?"

Thor lowered his head silently: "You always know better than me about this matter. But I still understand the fate of the cursed soul. Loki, tell me honestly, how long can your soul power last? "

"After withstanding the explosion of the spaceship, I originally had very little soul power left, but after the Storm Ax was cast, I can feel my strength recovering, so I don't think I need to worry about it for the time being."

"Really?"

"real."

"So, if we collect all the Infinity Stones as Strange said, can you come back?"

"I don't know, brother." Loki let out a slight sigh. "Fate never reveals the end of the gods, so they didn't tell me this."

"Okay, then as long as there is a slight possibility, I will take a gamble."

"But before that, I might disappear completely." Loki said in a flat tone, "So maybe we should keep in touch less now, so that you can adapt to the days when I'm not by your side as soon as possible..."

"No!" Thor interrupted Loki's chatter roughly, "I won't let that happen, don't even think about it!"

"I just want you to prepare for the worst, brother. Besides, the last time you thought I was dead, you had a good time, didn't you?"

"Having a good life?! I gave up the throne because of your fake death, chose self-exile, broke up with Jane, got a tattoo that misses you, and traveled all over the world to find the whereabouts of the infinite gems, just to relieve some Pain. If it's a good day, oh yeah, I'm good!" Thor rages.

Loki was speechless for a moment, he didn't expect that suspended animation would hurt Thor far more than he imagined.

"Loki, we've gone through so many things, and it's hard to get back together." Thor's tone became helpless and sad, "I only have you left, so...don't leave me with nothing."

"Thor, you don't have nothing. Don't forget that there are still half of the Asgardians in Valkyrie, and they are still waiting for their king to return."

"If they know that their king can't even avenge their own people and brothers, what right do I have to be their king?" Thor chuckled, "Besides, Loki, you are different, no one can replace you you."

Loki remembered Thor's "I thought the world of you", that was the first time he realized his weight in Thor's heart.And that sentence became an important reason why he finally chose to return to Thor.The bond between the two has long been deeply buried in the blood of both parties, and it is difficult to tell who they cannot do without.

Looking at the vicissitudes of Thor in front of him, Loki suddenly began to miss his brother who was a little reckless and impulsive, but high-spirited at the succession ceremony.He used to be a hearty man who didn't hesitate to smile, and was the most dazzling light in the Ninth Session, but now he can only be surrounded by deep grief and anger.Along the way, Thor has really shouldered too much and endured too much. Loki couldn't bear to see him a sad lonely god anymore.

"Loki? Loki, are you still there?" Thor didn't know what Loki was thinking, and seeing that the latter had lost his voice, he couldn't help becoming anxious again.

"...I'm here."

☆, childhood memory

([-]) Childhood memories

"Sorry, Pepper, I think it may be a while before I can return to New York." Tony looked at the communication video in front of him, trying to keep his voice calm, "Wakanda's technology fascinates me, and it happens that my battle Armor is damaged, maybe I can try to develop a new type here..."

"Tony, I've heard everything." Pepper on the opposite side interrupted him with tears in his eyes, "I know you very well, you must think that child... is your responsibility."

Tony didn't answer, but his solemn expression and slightly trembling hands revealed the shock in his heart.

"Tony, listen, you don't have to take all the blame on yourself. You're not a god and you can't predict everything."

Tony was silent for a long time before finally nodding his head: "Little Pepper, I'm sorry, our wedding...maybe postponed..."

"It's okay, there aren't many guests to attend anyway." Pepper wanted to sound more cheerful, but she didn't expect tears to fall first, "I heard that Nick and Hill also...disappeared, now New York—no, the whole world is chaos."

Through Wakanda's communication facilities in the past few days, Tony and the others have learned about the situation around the world.The sudden disappearance of half of the population has paralyzed the global traffic, and the intensive car accidents and falling incidents have caused many landslides and fires. However, the firefighting agencies are also overwhelmed by the sudden reduction in the number of personnel, and even the government agencies that have always been safe are almost ineffective. .A large number of shops were looted, and airlines and airports all stopped operating.For this world, this is undoubtedly an unprecedented disaster.

"I'm fine in New York, you don't have to worry. I also know that I can't stop you from doing what you want, but you have to promise me one thing." Pepper wiped away her tears, "No matter what you want to do, in the end You have to live well."

"...I will." Tony recalled Strange's words, "I think the reason why my life will be spared must have its meaning."

Tony, who turned off the communicator, sat on the chair in a daze until Banner walked into the meeting room.

"Did you finish talking with your fiancee?"

"Yeah." Tony turned to him. "And you? Solved the problem with our big green baby?"

"No." Banner looked a little discouraged, "I tried several times, but Hulk just didn't want to come out, and I don't know what's wrong."

"Speaking of which, I've always had a problem. You couldn't share memories with Hulk before, but when you landed in New York, how could you remember what happened on Thor's spaceship?"

"This is also where I am puzzled. I have been in Hulk form since the Sokovia incident. I stayed on a planet called Saka for two years until I met Thor. At that time I thought Hulk would Occupy the dominance of my body. But after experiencing Ragnarok in Asgard, I seem to have some memories belonging to Hulk."

"Can you remember what the Hulk did?"

"Yes. I was the Hulk all the time on the Asgard ship. On the day Thanos came, it was Loki who noticed the anomaly first, because he knew Thanos' ship. Also, I heard him After talking with Thor, I realized that Thanos was the real behind-the-scenes driver of the New York War."

After the New York War that year, Thor quickly brought Loki back to Asgard for trial.At that time, the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. thought it was done by Loki alone. Now that I think about it, I feel that there are many unreasonable things, such as where Loki, the prince of Asgard, got the alien army, and that Who gave the scepter inlaid with the mind stone.If he could have noticed the existence of Thanos at that time...

"Loki was very scared at the time. He asked me—that is, Hulk to hide in the dark and not come out, and then planned to arrange for other Asgardian civilians to escape. Unfortunately, Thanos came too fast, and he had the power gem in his hand. So it got everyone under control pretty quickly."

"I remember Thor saying Thanos killed half of him."

"Oh yes, he let half of the people go and let them escape in another small spaceship. I thought it was incredible at the time, but now I understand why." Banner said, "However, the remaining half Not so lucky. They were massacred by the Dark Order, and Thor was severely wounded by Thanos, who used it to force Loki to hand over the Space Stone."

"You were in the dark all the time?"

"Because Loki put a spell on Hulk, and he can only get rid of it when the curse is broken. Maybe Loki thought Hulk was their last killer, so he broke the curse when he gave the gem to Thanos. It's a pity... ...No one thought that even the Hulk couldn't beat Thanos."

"Do you think that's why Hulk doesn't want to come out?"

"I don't know." Banner shook his head, "After the Hulk was knocked out, he was sent back to Earth by Heimdall, and fell to Strange's New York Sanctuary. This is the last memory I have of that spaceship. I thought Thor was dead then, but he survived."

Banner still remembers that after Ragnarok, Thor on the spaceship finally ascended the throne and became the monarch of Asgard, intending to lead the remaining Asgardian people to start a new life.Although he had just lost his homeland at that time, at least he was still full of hope, which was completely different from the state when he came to Wakanda later.The strength of the latter shocked him, like a god coming to the world, but Banner felt that Thor at that time was more like a wounded beast, full of despair and desperate.

Only later did he learn that Loki was dead.Only Loki's death could have dealt such a blow to Thor.

He hopes that what Thor said about Loki's soul is true, at least that would be a great comfort to Thor.In fact, Thor's mood has improved a lot in the past few days, at least not in a state of losing control at any time.

In the bedroom on the other side, Thor, who didn't know that he had become the topic of conversation, was resting.

He's barely had a good night's sleep since being rescued by the Guardians of the Galaxy, and his vengeful anxiety makes sleep a luxury.Then the self-blame for not being able to kill Thanos made him unable to close his eyes.It wasn't until he saw Loki's soul that his emotions calmed down a little.Even so, the quality of his sleep was abysmal.

Loki looked at his brother who was frowning and even trembling slightly, knowing that he didn't sleep well.

He doesn't tell Thor that the psychic connection has another function, which is to spy on his dreams while he sleeps.So, Loki casts his spell and directly enters Thor's spiritual world at this moment.

Loki sees the burning ruins of Asgard.Then the scene changed, and the burning home turned into a burning refugee ship, with countless corpses lying on the ground, which was extremely miserable.

And Thor—or his consciousness at the moment, is bound by countless iron bars, watching all this helplessly.

"Why...you didn't protect us?" On the ground, Heimdall's "corpse" suddenly turned his head and said to Thor, "You should lead us to start a new life, but you led us to hell!"

"I……"

Before Thor could answer, the scene in front of him began to change again. Loki was surprised to find that it was the scene when he died, and Thanos was choking him, lifting him up, and throwing him in front of Thor.

"There won't be a resurrection this time." Thanos sneered coldly.

"No!!!" Thor's consciousness struggled desperately, but he still couldn't get rid of the restraint.

Loki perceives that Thor's emotions at the moment are full of anger, despair and powerlessness, followed by great sadness and self-blame.

"I'm sorry...I'm sorry..." Although Thor couldn't speak, his inner voice was clearly transmitted to Loki through the spiritual connection.

"Are you torturing yourself with these images and dreams over and over again these days, Thor?" Loki sighed. "What an idiot. It was my fault for bringing the Rubik's Cube out of Asgard."

He muttered a few spells in a low voice, activated his mana at the place where the spirit was connected, and the surrounding pictures spread like water ripples, and were gradually replaced by other scenes.

This is the back garden of the Asgard Palace.The always warm and spring-like climate makes all kinds of bright flowers and strange-shaped plants grow here.

"Loki, come practice swords with me!" The young Thor proudly waved the wooden sword in his hand, "I made this after the Valkyrie's weapon in the mural, doesn't it look good?"

"I don't practice, I can't beat you anyway." Loki, who was also young, didn't lift his eyelids, still flipping through the magic book in his hand.

"Well, shall we play hide and seek then?"

"hide and seek?"

Thor nods desperately.

"Okay, then you come and catch me. If you find me within an hour, you win."

"A word is settled!"

Thor closed his eyes and counted, and when he opened them again Loki was long gone.

He scoured the garden for signs of Loki, but found nothing.he even saw
