Chapter 1043 Loki’s Contingency Plan

(Previous text about Yang Jian supporting Seven Nights bug has been fixed)

Northern Europe.

Asgard.

Loki walked through the dim Western corridor and entered his own temple. As his black robe swayed in the interplay of light and shadow, he suddenly caught something in his peripheral vision and paused.

In the center of the black temple, a figure with golden hair in red clothing stood quietly with their back to him.

“Thor,” Loki raised an eyebrow, “you coming to my temple of your own accord is quite rare…”

Thor slowly turned around, his deep blue eyes fixed on Loki, his expression extremely serious.

“Only three days remain until the Great Xia Heavenly Lord questions Asgard,” Thor’s deep voice echoed in the temple, “Things should not have developed to this point. Asgard has no reason to be enemies with Great Xia…

We should not have placed Asgard in such a dangerous position.”

“Oh, my dear Thor,” Loki stepped forward, shaking his head with a cold smile,

“It seems you still don’t understand the situation. Being enemies with Great Xia wasn’t just my decision. I, Loki, don’t have that much influence. This was a joint decision of the four divine kingdoms.”

“But the four divine kingdoms’ joint attack on Great Xia was led by Asgard! And you were the one who visited other divine kingdoms, persuading them to join the alliance!” Thor reached out and grabbed Loki’s collar, growling:

“Asgard has existed for so many years and rarely provokes other divine kingdoms. Why would Father risk all of Asgard to be enemies with Great Xia this time?

What… did you fill Father’s head with?”

Loki’s upper body was lifted by Thor’s hand. His narrow eyes gradually grew cold as he spoke calmly:

“Thor, who do you think you are?

What right do you have to question me on behalf of Asgard?

How do you know that everything I’m doing… isn’t for Asgard’s benefit?”

“You? I don’t believe you,” Thor replied firmly. “You’re just a mischief god who thrives on chaos! A complete villain!”

“Mischief god? So what if I am? You think you’re any better?” Loki laughed coldly. “Have you… forgotten how Idunn died?”

At the mention of Idunn, Thor’s eyes tensed.

Loki continued:

“A hundred years ago, if you hadn’t refused to sacrifice mortals to get the life fruits from the youth goddess Idunn for those so-called ‘benevolent gods’ of Asgard, how would she have been forced to sacrifice herself due to insufficient life fruits to save that useless Bragi?

Benevolent gods? Haha…

In all of Asgard, only the youth goddess Idunn, who sacrificed herself and offered life fruits to save half of Asgard, could truly be called ‘benevolent.’

And who caused the fall of this benevolent goddess? Wasn’t it all of you?

Sacrificing one youth goddess to save other Asgardian deities – how is your behavior any different from mine, who sacrifices mortals to gain vitality?”

Thor’s right fist clenched tightly, veins bulging on his arm as he glared at Loki, his eyes slightly reddened.

His eyes were filled with anger and pain.

After a long while, he suddenly released Loki’s collar, took a deep breath, and slowly said:

“I’ll be watching you, Loki… Whatever scheme you’re planning, I won’t let you continue to harm Asgard.”

“Suit yourself.”

Loki casually walked to his divine throne, lay back on it, crossed his legs, and looked utterly comfortable.

Thor stood silently below the throne, watching him coldly.

Loki’s narrow eyes glanced at him, a barely perceptible trace of mockery flashing in them.

You think… you can keep an eye on me?

He slowly closed his eyes, a strand of his divided soul wrapped around that black right ear, piercing through the void and disappearing in the blink of an eye.

…

Kunlun Void.

Si Xiaonan and her two companions, draped in Wuyuan Gauze, walked around the barren land again but still couldn’t find any trace of the doorway.

“It’s really gone,” Si Xiaonan frowned deeply. “How are we going to get out now?”

“Someone probably doesn’t want us to leave so easily and deliberately moved the door,” An Qingyu pondered.

“Has the Great Xia God detected our intrusion?”

Si Xiaonan’s expression grew serious.

Although she and Cold Xuan were loyal in their hearts despite serving another, only they knew this truth. Officially, she was still a foreign god spy who had infiltrated Great Xia. If they were captured by the Great Xia God, they would likely face a terrible fate.

Most importantly, if they were caught in Great Xia, their subsequent plans would be difficult to implement.

Hearing this, An Qingyu was about to ask something but hesitated and shook his head.

Until now, he still knew nothing about Si Xiaonan and her companion’s identities or purposes. Even though he suspected they might be acting under coercion, this information alone was insufficient.

He wanted to ask for more details but didn’t dare probe carelessly because of Loki’s ear.

Seemingly noticing An Qingyu’s dilemma, Cold Xuan remained silent for a moment before standing up:

“I’m getting hungry. I’ll go find something to eat.”

Previously, due to Singh’s presence, it had been difficult for Si Xiaonan to find time alone with An Qingyu. Now that Singh was dead, and the three of them were on the same side, certain things would naturally be easier to accomplish.

As long as Cold Xuan temporarily left, it would give Si Xiaonan and An Qingyu a private environment free from surveillance.

Si Xiaonan quickly understood Cold Xuan’s intention and nodded.

After Cold Xuan had walked far enough away, just as An Qingyu was about to speak, Si Xiaonan gestured for him to be silent. She then waved her hand in the void, and a massive Wuyuan Gauze materialized from thin air, covering their surroundings and blocking the transmission of sound.

“Now we can talk,” Si Xiaonan nodded. “Loki’s methods are too unpredictable. It’s better to be cautious.”

An Qingyu let out a long breath. “Now, can you tell me what’s going on?”

“Yes,” Si Xiaonan paused. “It all started when we left Cangnan…”

…

Meanwhile.

Cold Xuan walked casually along the edge of the barren land with his hands in his pockets.

He needed to give Si Xiaonan and An Qingyu enough time alone while not arousing Loki’s suspicion, so he pretended to be looking for celestial birds or beasts.

Just as he spotted a plump white crane, he seemed to sense something and his body suddenly jolted.

He looked down at the back of his hand and saw the black ear rapidly merging into his flesh, with a wave of blackness spreading across his body like a tide!

He was losing control of his own body!

In just two or three seconds, the blackness had covered his entire body, finally converging into his struggling eyes.

When he opened his eyes again, his lips were already curled into a cold smile.

“The contingency left in that ear has finally been put to use…”
