The Eye Demon's Adventures

Asgard.

The statue of Loki has been completed.

Loki, disguised as Odin, has become increasingly paranoid ever since being whipped by Lin Xu.

Not only did they lose interest in watching the opera, they even increased security throughout Asgard.

This caused Heimdall and Valkyrie, who were hiding in the shadows, great distress, as the soldiers nearly discovered them several times.

The palace shielded Heimdall from view, so he had no idea what was happening inside.

All he knew was that, apart from being a little weaker, Loki was now a worthy ruler who could maintain the status quo.

Pity...

Meanwhile, our steadfast ruler Loki was in utter panic.

Because Lin Xu was standing right in front of him at that moment.

"You... you, you've already taken the Casket of Ancient Winters and the Orb of Prophecy, what else do you want?"

Lin Xu chuckled and instantly appeared in front of Loki, patting him on the shoulder amidst Loki's Shocker gaze.

Afterwards, Loki's fear subsided, and his expression became much calmer. However, Lin Xu had a feeling that the person in front of him seemed to have aged a bit.

"Fourth Uncle, is it time?"

Not yet... I need to talk to you about something.

"Fourth Uncle, please speak."

Don't call me Fourth Uncle!

"Okay, Fourth Uncle..."

Seeing Loki's nonchalant attitude, Lin Xu completely lost his temper.

"Fine, call me whatever you want, just give me Mjolnir."

Loki looked at Lin Xu, who was reaching out his hand, somewhat bewildered. "Have you got the wrong person...?"

"... Thor..."

"What Thor? It has nothing to do with him. I'm about to play in the peak tournament. My support character isn't strong enough, so I'll give him a server-dominating buff. Don't rush to refuse. You have a whole drawer full of gems; there's no way you wouldn't have Mjolnir."

"Steve?"

"Of course, besides him, is there anyone else who can lift Mjolnir?"

"There are so many: my sister, my sister-in-law, Vision, Agent Romanoff, clothes racks..."

"..."

Lin Xu just stared at Loki without saying a word.

"... Okay, wait a moment."

After saying that, Loki's gaze became blank, and he stood still, motionless.

Seeing that Loki in this universe still had no control over his body, Lin Xu was somewhat disappointed. He had planned to give him another "package deal".

Ten minutes passed quickly, and there was still no movement.

Just when he thought Loki was going to break his promise, a flash of green light appeared, Mjolnir appeared in front of him.

At the same time, two voices, sometimes near and sometimes far, rang in my ears.

"Hmph, Frost brat, it's already an extraordinary favor that your will has descended upon us. Don't push your luck!"

"Kronos? Sorry, this is the only time."

"Hmph, this is the last time!"

Kronos, the god of time?

Lin Xu quickly deduced something from this conversation.

It seems Loki was right; his strength has indeed declined significantly since leaving TVA. The first two instances of his will descending were not a problem.

This time, to deliver the hammer to him, a physical portal had to be opened, but Kronos stopped them.

I don't know if he'll still be able to come and help when the preparation time is closed.

Thump~

With a sharp crack, Lin Xu turned around and saw Loki lying on the ground, his head hitting the steps hard due to his position.

Judging from that sound, it's a good start...

"Ah~ what... what did you do?"

Ignoring the tool, Lin Xu looked at Mjolnir in front of him and tentatively reached out to grab him.

So light...

"Wonderful~ Mjolnir?"

Lin Xu threw the hammer twice and didn't feel its weight, but the thunderous power it contained was undeniable.

Looking at Loki, who was babbling in front of him, he casually placed the hammer on Loki's chest.

Get up and walk around a bit.

"How did Mjolnir end up in your hands? And Thor? What have you done to him?!" Loki struggled to get up, but to no avail.

Hmm, it seems to be a genuine hammer without a doubt.

He was thinking that if he couldn't lift it, he could take Captain America from him, but it seems that's not necessary.

"Alright, stop howling. Thor's fine. I didn't realize you two brothers were so close."

"Since he's alright, how did Mjolnir end up in your hands!" Loki clearly didn't believe Lin Xu's words. In his opinion, his foolish brother valued the hammer more than his own life.

"Who told you its name is Mjolnir? Its name is clearly Mjolnir, okay?"

Loki:??

Lin Xu reached out and the hammer flew back into his hand.

"Alright, you can continue being king here. See you next time."

"There will be a next time?"

The Cagliostro Library.

Shuma tentatively peeked out from the summoning gate.

Then he saw a middle-aged man in a suit and tie, who was probably the one who had performed the summoning magic.

"Hello, I am Stephen Strange. I summoned you to borrow some of your power. Would you mind if I cut off one of your arms?"

Strange, with his refined and scholarly demeanor, uttered such cruel words, especially the point about leveraging power, which instantly reminded Shuma of that old bastard, the Ancient One.

"I won't give you my arm, but I want your eyes!"

"Oh dear, it seems we didn't reach an agreement, but that's alright, I'm planning to use force."

"They're courting death without even considering the timing."

Shuma glared at him slightly, Strange's mind went blank for a moment. He couldn't execute the steps he had planned, and he froze on the spot.

However, just as Shuma was preparing for his next move, a monk holding a tin staff appeared in front of him.

And who are you?

"Aoben, Cagliostro Library."

"Ha, a time- Black Magic? Then let's die together..."

"Unfortunately, you are still in a semi-sealed state, and the power sealing you is a dark power I am familiar with..."

Aoben slammed his staff into the ground, reactivating the seal left by the Ancient One. Shuma had no time to resist and was forced back into the sealed space once again.

Aoben looked at the empty room, then turned and carried Strange into the bedroom.

Several hours later, Strange finally woke up.

"What happened?"

Aoben handed the hot towel to Strange: "I thought you'd be thinking of summoning weaker creatures first. You're too hasty, Armani Mage."

"My name is Strange..."

"This name is even stranger." (Strange: transliterated Strange, literally meaning strange/weird)

How can I defeat him?

"Proceed step by step."

Strange sighed. Actually, his approach to Shuma wasn't just about improving his strength; more importantly, he wanted to see what kind of being could make the powerful Ancient One fight so desperately to seal it.

As it turns out, Shuma is indeed powerful!

But this gave him even more motivation; if he could devour Shuma, even just a portion of her power would be great.

"Your eyebrows, I remember they were black yesterday, how come they've turned white? And they seem to have more wrinkles now."

"You've misunderstood."

P. S.: Cagliostro, a powerful time- Black Magic, is the only mortal in the entire Marvel capable of destroying Absolute Point in Time by sacrificing himself.

The book that Kaecilius stole was written by Cagliostro.
