Chapter 428: Frightened Old Odin (2 in 1)(1/2)
Facing Old Odin's stiff expression for a moment, Li Ming just explained as if he hadn't seen him: "A space wormhole from an unknown civilization has appeared on the earth. They have sent three giant monsters through the wormhole to wreak havoc. I need space gems."
The power destroys the space wormhole and at the same time causes the other side to lose its position on the earth!"
This reason is reasonable, but old Odin is still a little hesitant.
Nowadays, people on Earth have mastered four of the only six Infinity Stones in the universe.
The remaining two Infinity Stones collected by Asgard were even obtained under the influence of Li Ming.
Old Odin, who had lost his spirit, didn't think about doing anything with the Space and Reality Stones. He just collected them as strategic weapons to deal with crises that might come at any time.
But now Li Ming said that he wanted to borrow the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
Considering the powerful power he mastered, Old Odin really doubted whether the other party was trying to gather the six gems to fully master the infinite power. After borrowing the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, he directly asked Li Ming to borrow the Rubik's Cube.
Sexy operation without return.
If this comes true, the power gap between Asgard and the earth will further widen. Maybe after he reaches the end of his life and dies, the last reality stone will arouse Li Ming's covetousness, causing Asgard to
Gard is on its way to destruction.
As an old Odin who has lived a long life and has personally implemented and suffered many conspiracies, he believes that this is entirely possible!
And what Li Ming said next made him unable to hesitate any longer.
"As far as I know, God King Odin seems to have sealed an important figure on the earth, right?"
Li Ming suddenly mentioned such a thing, which immediately made old Odin's heart skip a beat, and his expression suddenly became solemn: "Did Gu Yi tell you?"
This counts as admission.
If Li Ming was still at the same level as when he first met old Odin, maybe this bad old man wouldn't admit it in disguise but would just ignore him. But facing Li Ming now, he didn't hide anything at all.
room.
Compared with the previous policy of trying to befriend Asgard as much as possible, retaining the vitality of this advanced alien civilization, and making them a strong enough wall to defend the earth from enemies, it is now outdated for Li Ming.
.
On the other hand, even though Asgard's own national power has not suffered much loss, Odin, as the leader, is about to die, and the successor Thor has not yet fully grown into a being of his own, and will lack a strong enough presence to guard the country in the future.
Now they have become the party that needs to maintain their alliance with the earth more.
The older he gets, the less courageous Odin becomes. For the sake of his country and his subjects, he does not dare to easily create a rift with Li Ming and the earth.
What he is most worried about now is whether Li Ming will hold him accountable for this incident, which will lead to the deterioration of the relationship between the two parties.
Of course, what he knows better is that Li Ming's proposal at this time is probably more for the space gem!
Without answering Old Odin's question, Li Ming just said: "You and Asgard under Thor's rule have established a good alliance with the earth. I think if your daughter comes back, with her
His style may not be a good thing for Asgard or our ally Earth!"
Realizing what Li Ming meant, Odin's expression moved slightly: "What do you mean..."
Li Ming smiled: "What I mean is, lend me the space gem first. If your daughter escapes, if Asgard can't handle it, I can help at a critical moment... at least try to save Thor as much as possible."
life!"
He can only make this level of commitment. It would be impossible for him to intervene in Asgard's internal disputes from beginning to end!
After taking a deep look at Li Ming, Old Odin suddenly said: "Add my wife and Loki!"
Um?
This time it was Li Ming's turn to be surprised.
He would take the initiative to at least protect Thor, not only for the sake of their friendship, but also because of Odin's thinking as a king. As long as the crown prince is still alive, even if Hela captures Asgard, there will still be Thor accumulated.
The day when power takes back control.
I didn’t expect that he would take the initiative to join others... After all, the person who really wanted to do this should be Saul!
As a cruel and ruthless monarch who was able to launch a suicide attack on Hela with an entire army of Valkyries, and then took the opportunity to defeat the seal with his own daughter, and then bury everything, Odin actually started to care about these things when he was about to die of old age.
Are you really starting to think about options?
However, accidents are accidents, and Li Ming knew very well that if the situation really came to a critical juncture, Sol would also make a similar request, so there was nothing he could refuse.
"no problem!"
He agreed decisively and added: "But even if I rescue Loki, I will send him to the prison on Earth to continue serving his sentence. That is the price he must pay for invading Earth... By the way, is he still there now?"
In jail, right?"
"Of course, Loki has been imprisoned in a cell to serve his sentence."
Old Odin wiped his sweat secretly.
Not long ago, his wife Queen Frigga had begged him for mercy, saying that she felt sorry for her son and wanted to find a reason to release Loki.
Fortunately, in order to maintain his majesty as a monarch and to let his increasingly wild-minded young son suffer some setbacks, he did not agree.
After all, considering the ages of Asgardians and Frost Giants, even if they are locked up for more than ten years, it is not a big problem, and it is not a big problem if they are only locked up for a few years now.
I didn't expect to be questioned by Li Ming so quickly, but fortunately I was able to pass the test smoothly.
"Since the earth is in urgent need of the help of space gems, please follow me to the treasure house!"
Now that his intention was fulfilled, Old Odin said no more, tightened his grip on the Eternal Spear and offered to get the Space Stone.
Although old Odin feels that his current condition is pretty good, most likely his daughter was not dead when she broke out of the seal. Even at that time, he could have reached the peak of his combat power and had the strength to fight despite all odds.
But there is still a high chance that he will die at the hands of his own daughter, who also has the authority of Asgard. It is difficult for his two ineffective sons to be Hela's opponent alone. If you don't make more preparations now, then
At that time, I still didn’t know what kind of situation Asgard would become due to the royal family fighting!
Although lending the Cosmic Cube is likely to be gone forever, compared to the survival of his family and the entire Asgard, it is secondary to old Odin.
Li Ming followed the old Odin through the palace and came to the treasure house.
Before coming to the shelf of the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, Li Ming's eyes fell on the closer metal can containing the ether particles, which are the reality gems.
"Ahem...Your Majesty Odin, the energy of the Reality Stone I absorbed previously has been exhausted. Can I replenish it now that I'm here?"
Li Ming said with a smile.
God is coming!
Old Odin almost choked to death from his relaxed tone of asking the boss to give him a green onion when buying groceries, but that's all he said. Back then, he promised Li Ming to absorb the energy of gems, so there's no reason why he needs it more now.
I don't agree when I make friends with him.
Helpless, old Odin had no choice but to nod, "Please do as you please."
After agreeing, he took the initiative to remove the outer seal of the metal can and opened it, revealing the transparent container inside.
"Then I'm not welcome!"
Looking at the dark red ether particles slowly flowing in the transparent jar, Li Ming's eyes lit up, and he pulled out a dim gray card from the card slot with his backhand. He raised his hand and flicked it, and the card flew to the transparent jar on its own.
before.
As soon as it got close to the ether particles, the gray card lit up with a dark red light that was very similar to it, and the former also became active, and its flow speed increased significantly.
Soon, dots of dark red energy particles seeped out of the transparent jar on their own, appearing one after another, like a dark red light belt, and merged into the card.
The card quickly regained its light, and the pattern symbolizing the ether particles also regained its dark red color, filling it with energy again.
Not long after, the energy in the card was filled again, and even now that Li Ming's strength had changed qualitatively, he had absorbed more power and possessed more powerful power of the Reality Stone.
Even old Odin, who was watching silently from the side, clearly noticed that the light emitted by the ether particles was slightly weaker due to his powerful energy perception.
This is an infinite gem with endless energy!
This guy can actually pick it up and see that it shows signs of energy weakness. This is too outrageous!
Such a change really made his eyes twitch as he was too old to bear the stimulation. Unfortunately, the whole process only took less than ten seconds. Even if he later realized something was wrong and wanted to stop Li Ming, it was too late.
Taking back the energy-filled card, Li Ming smiled at Old Odin: "Don't worry, although more energy has been absorbed this time, the Infinity Stones have the entire universe as the basis, and they will recover on their own in a short time."
"This is a small part of my experience since I mastered the power and soul gems!"
He shook the bracelet he was wearing and signaled Odin with two Infinity Stones.
Regardless of whether Li Ming meant to demonstrate or not, at least when old Odin saw the power gem flashing with strange purple light, he immediately gave in.
The young man in front of me has the power to destroy the entire Asgard in an instant!
"It doesn't matter. Asgard only collects the Infinity Stones. Their weakened power is more conducive to stability."
Old Odin smiled and said forcefully.
Then he no longer gave Li Ming more room to look at other things, and immediately quickened his pace, bringing him to the front of the Universe Demon.
However, after all, he came in a hurry, and he forgot that he had an object that showed his ambition right next to the Cosmic Rubik's Cube.
"Um?"
Li Ming, who was supposed to be looking at the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, paused and his eyes fell on a golden glove on the shelf next to it.
Looking at the six grooves above, Li Ming raised his eyebrows and looked at Old Odin: "If I read correctly, these six grooves seem to correspond to the six infinity stones, right?"
Old Odin was silent for a moment and sighed: "That's true... When I was young, I had the ambition to collect the infinite gems. I even commissioned the dwarves to cast the Infinity Gauntlet for this purpose, but I couldn't do it until I tried my best.
To be continued...
