Chapter 362 I only Ask You to Spare the Child's Life

"As long as Leni can contact her father again, we will definitely find a way to close the portal!"

Thor, who was blind as a headless fly before, now seemed to have found a life-saving straw. He excitedly grabbed Loki's arm beside him and couldn't wait to tell him the solution he had thought of.

However, after hearing the solution from Thor's mouth, Loki's face sank.

"Leni?"

Thor, who had always been thick-skinned, didn't realize Loki's emotional fluctuations at all, and continued to mutter his own ideas.

"Yes! Do you remember the last time in New Mexico? At that time, Leni told me that as a Midgard Grand Maester, she had established contact with my father. Although my father took the initiative to find her that time, she did have the means to communicate with Asgard. As long as Leni can contact my father again, then with my father's knowledge and wisdom, he will definitely be able to think of a way to close the portal!"

"Oh? Really? She has such a skill?"

The more Thor said, the uglier Loki's face became, especially when Thor mentioned the last time in New Mexico, Loki's reason, which had briefly prevailed, was defeated by hatred and humiliation again.

However, Thor did not notice all these changes, and just thought that he had thought of a perfect way. Thor immediately walked aside and planned to use the communicator to contact Leni below.

"Leni, can you hear me? I have thought of a good way to close the portal..."

But before Thor could finish his words, a sharp blade flashing with cold light pierced through his chest and abdomen.

Puff!

The sharp spearhead pierced Thor's body, pierced through the armor, involved flesh and blood, and was exposed on Thor's chest.

"Loki... Loki..."

Thor looked at his chest pierced by the sharp blade in disbelief. The pain from his chest and abdomen made Thor realize that everything at this time was not the scary tricks played by Loki in his childhood.

"Laini Laini Laini, father, father, father, I'm tired of hearing it. What's so good about that damn woman? What's so good about that damn old man?"

Loki's gnashing voice sounded from behind Thor's head. Thor, who was pierced by the spearhead, tried hard to turn his head and look back, but Loki behind him clamped his chin.

"New Mexico, you dare to mention New Mexico? Do you know what I lost in that damn place?"

Loki slowly approached Thor's ear and whispered in his ear:

"It's my dignity, my dignity as a member of the Asgard royal family! And the one who took it away was your father who kept nagging you! And that damn woman!!!"

Without waiting for Thor to refute, Loki suddenly pulled out the scepter that had pierced Thor's back, bathed in the blood of the god of thunder, and looked down at Thor who was lying on the ground. The mind scepter in his hand emitted a strange light.

"No one can trample on my dignity at will, no one, no one!!!"

Loki's eyes were red, hatred and anger had completely eroded his brain, and at this time he had become a sad puppet under the control of the scepter.

In the sky, two black ravens slowly lowered their circling altitude and landed on the apron of Stark Tower one after another.

The two ravens vomited twice with unpleasant voices, but the sound could not reach the ears of the two brothers in the building at all, and finally turned into the sound of wind and completely merged into the surrounding war.

The raven's eyes were fixed on the two people in the field, and tears slid down the corners of his eyes to the ground without knowing when.

"Alas..."

In the noisy environment, there was a sigh of an old man that suddenly reached everyone's ears, but before everyone noticed it, the sound had disappeared without a trace.

...

"Little girl, can I ask you for a favor."

Lainie, who was watching a "brotherly love" drama through the radar system, suddenly heard an old voice ringing in her ears. Lainie was so scared that she quickly raised her hand to summon the streamer alien hand cannon to alert the surroundings.

Natasha, who was standing by, thought there were some suspicious enemies around her, so she quickly came to Lainie and carefully observed the surrounding environment.

Captain America just received Clint's message and went alone to rescue a group of ordinary people trapped in the theater. Therefore, Natasha was the only one who could help look after Lainie, which forced her to be extremely careful.

"Laini, what's wrong? Is there an enemy?"

Laini did not answer Natasha's question immediately, but took the initiative to turn on the detection mode of the radar system to the maximum, carefully scanning everything around.

"It's me, little girl, I have no ill intentions."

The old voice sounded again. After Lainie carefully distinguished it, she finally determined that the voice came from her mind, not the complex environment around her.

"Odin?"

After a moment of silence, Lainie quickly guessed the identity of the owner of the voice.

"Exactly."

Odin did not put on airs and kept the secret, and simply admitted his identity.

"What do you want to do with me? I don't think I have any ability to make you, a great man, ask me for help."

Laini turned her head and glanced at Natasha, who was still alert to the surroundings. It was obvious that Natasha was not aware of her communication with Odin.

Signaling that Natasha was fine, Lainie let down her guard and continued to advance towards Stark Tower with Natasha, while continuing to communicate with Odin in her mind through consciousness.

"Alas... right and wrong will eventually be retribution. I know that you and Loki have a deep grudge, and I also know that you will never let him go so easily, so I only ask you one thing."

Hearing this, Leni raised her eyebrows, thinking that this old man came to plead for Loki?

"I only ask you to spare the child's life."

Odin's voice was full of helplessness, just like those old fathers who were unable to educate their children and could only sigh on the side.

Leni did not respond, both because she did not know how to respond and because she was not sure whether she should respond.

"Little girl, the child's current situation is all karma, and as his father, I feel deeply guilty. All I can do is hope that you can spare his life, and I will pay for the rest of his sins."

The old man's humble plea made Leni a little overwhelmed for a while.

The grudges between the younger generations should always be resolved by the younger generations themselves. If you, an old generation, stand up and plead for mercy, wouldn't it make me seem unreasonable?

And you said you would pay him back, how can you pay him back? Can those who sacrificed for this still live?

"Since you also said that everything is cause and effect, do you know how many causes Loki has done and what kind of results he deserves?"

The old man sighed again after hearing this, and said in a deep voice:

"His sins are deep and he deserves severe punishment. Even I will never tolerate this, but for the sake of his mission in the future, I beg you to let the child live."

After these words came out, Lainie was stunned, and she couldn't help but suddenly realized.

This old man really knew about the sacred timeline, and he also knew the importance of Loki to the sacred timeline!

"You mean... the sacred timeline?"

The old man didn't respond, but at this time, silence actually explained a lot of problems.

Lainie didn't continue to ask questions. To be honest, she was a little unsure now.

Because Lainie had previously speculated whether her appearance had disrupted the sacred timeline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

For this reason, she also deliberately changed the life trajectories of some people including Skye, Captain America, Agent Carter, etc., in order to judge whether the sacred timeline can be modified. Lainie was even prepared to face the Ancient One and the OAA guys.

But to Lainie's surprise, the Ancient One refused to meet her and said that he came too early and it was not time for the two to meet!

What's even more strange is that the various things that happened later made Lainie clearly feel that the sacred timeline has changed. The things that were originally planned have gradually undergone unpredictable changes under the influence of Lainie's butterfly.

Just like this New York War, Loki, who was originally scheduled to arrive on May 1st on the timeline, actually arrived more than half a month earlier, and led the Chitauri army to attack the earth in early April.

You know, this is more than half a month. How could the OAA, which has an extremely strict concept of time, allow such an outrageous thing to happen?

But now, according to what Odin said, Loki will probably still be an important figure in the future timeline. Could it be that the Marvel sacred timeline has not changed much because of Lainie's operation?

Or, this old man is not aware that the sacred timeline has been affected by Lainie?

Impossible, it should be impossible. The strength of this old man is logically at the same level as that of the Ancient One. How could this old man not know what the Ancient One knows?

"Little girl, I can only tell you that the future is far from as simple as we know."
