When Nick walked in wearing a red elk sweater, Strange snapped his fingers and said: "Hey, man, you are much more fashionable than the previous one."
Nick paused and asked, "Who? Captain?"
"Yeah, that red and green sweater of his is really cool."
"I asked him to choose one between these two pieces, and he chose the red and green one." Nick lowered his head, stretched out his sweater, took a look at the pattern on it, and said, "Honestly, I
I quite like that one on him.”
"Did you use yourself as a model when you purchased these clothes? Have you never thought about how disastrous it would be for white people to wear them?" Schiller stood up, took out another cup from the cupboard, and poured it for Nick.
Wine, I asked.
Nick walked to the sofa and sat down. He shook his head and said in a relaxed tone: "It doesn't matter, no one will wear it except me and the captain. Since no one is wearing it, you can buy any color."
"I think it's because this old-fashioned color is the cheapest, right? When you take them away from the clothing factory, they have to pay you a cleaning fee."
"Don't say that. This is my charge that has been reimbursed for the winter. You didn't ask me to come over. I'm still busy with the statistics of 12,000 Christmas gifts per person..."
After saying that, he turned to look at Luo Ji who was sitting on the sofa, and then asked: "Is this lady..."
"She is Luo Ji."
"Oh..." Nick made a long sound and said, "Interesting."
"Aren't you surprised?" Strange asked him.
"One thing, but I can't express my opinion. I am the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., and I can only remain silent on sensitive issues related to gender and transgender people."
"Come on, take away the bug you hid in Steve's clothes before you say this." Schiller glanced at him and said.
Nick waved his hand and said: "We are responsible for supernatural events that occur on the earth. Is it normal for the special service personnel who perform tasks to have communication devices that can communicate with the headquarters at any time?"
"Did you hear everything we said before?"
"I only heard the first version of the story, but I guess there is a hidden version, right?" Nick tilted his head and nodded to Luo Ji.
Strange briefly introduced the current situation to Nick. Schiller put the wine glass in front of Nick. Nick took a sip of wine and said: "Okay, I roughly figured it out. Plans and accidents jointly led to the current situation.
situation, but overall, it is still within the plan.”
Luo Ji nodded, lit the cigar, put it in his mouth, then looked at Schiller who had just sat down and said: "When you gave me the suggestion to get into trouble and test Odin's attitude, I had it.
A few thoughts.”
"Only that guy Thor can get into trouble without thinking. In other words, he really gets into trouble, but I don't."
"If one day I get into trouble, it must be part of my plan, and this time is no exception." Luo Ji smiled.
"Moreover, Thor and his stupid friends can only make some small troubles. No matter how many times they cause trouble, it is insignificant and has no effect except making people laugh at their stupidity."...
"But I won't do that. If I want to cause trouble, I will make a big fuss and make the whole universe boil..." Luo Ji's tone contained the evil and madness unique to the evil god. She said: "I don't
It would make the Father of the Gods angry, I would only shock him."
"You can just say that you also want to beat your brother when it comes to getting into trouble," Schiller concluded.
"Okay, there are reasons for this, but it's not the main one." Luo Ji shook his head and continued: "When I was determined to make some noise, I found that this was a good opportunity to kill three birds with one stone."
"Thor has not improved since he was exiled to Earth. He needs a chance to awaken."
"When I learned that I was not Odin's biological child, I suspected there was a conspiracy, but I couldn't prove it. I needed a chance to test Odin's attitude."
"After the father of the gods fell into sleep, some people were ready to coerce Thor, and Odin also needed a chance to suppress them..."
"I combined these three opportunities into one to create the Destroyer invasion of Earth."
"Now it seems that your goal should have been achieved." Strange thought for a while and said: "Thor awakened and obtained the priesthood of New Light. Now that you have not been killed by Odin, it means that he still loves him very much.
Yours, and the group of people who want to guide Thor, should have surfaced..."
"Yes, but there is another point. I deliberately brought Thor to Sakaar just to hold him back. He will only get in the way. Without him, I can continue my plan."
"Actually, you didn't plan to go to Sasaka, right?" Schiller asked.
Luo Ji sighed and said, "Yes, but if we don't give Thor a little stimulation, he doesn't know when he will wake up."
"I asked you why you went to Gao Tianzun's lair alone even if you don't have any divine power. It turns out you are using a bitter trick..."
"It's not a ploy, I know Gao Tianzun doesn't dare to kill me." Luo Ji propped her elbows on the armrest of the sofa, then put her fingers on her head, and continued: "I didn't expect Thor to obtain the new priesthood of light.
, but this is also a good thing, as Asgard will have more initiative in future plans."
"You still haven't said, what are you going to do next?" Strange looked at him.
"Don't worry, how is the business at the Holy of Holies lately?"
"You have the nerve to mention this? During the time you disappeared, I was almost crazy busy. Do you still remember that this is actually a joint industry? I do all the work. Isn't that ridiculous?"
"Well, it seems that you should be very proficient in your business. Let me ask you a question..." Luo Ji took a puff of cigar, exhaled the smoke, and continued: "Now, the Lord of Hades is looking for me all over the world, wanting to
Kill me, the God of Light is also looking for me all over the world, wanting to protect me."
"The two of them hate each other, and the new hatred and the old hatred are superimposed. As soon as I show up, they will definitely start fighting."
"Then the question comes. We now know that a war between the universe demons is about to happen. The conflict between the Kingdom of Death and the life power of the World Tree must be huge. What should we do in the Holy of Holies?"...
Strange touched his chin and said, "Well... mediate?"
But Nick shook his head and replied first: "We need to give a warning and tell other universe demons that we are about to start a fight."
"Are you trying to intimidate them? To declare to the universe that Asgard still has a very powerful power. Even the hidden Hela and Baldr can make such a big noise. Then no one dares to see the majesty of Odin.
Question..." Strange understood quickly.
"That's right." Nick continued: "Sometimes, internal competition not only consumes strength, but also acts as a deterrent to the outside world. The strength displayed in the civil war can make certain forces dare not act rashly."
"And this will also shake up the situation within Asgard. Thor has gained a new power of light and is destined to become the new king of Asgard. But at this time, the former heir to the God King Balder made a high-profile appearance. At the same time as him
Also appearing was Hela, the princess of Asgard..."
"The originally unshakable heir position suddenly has the possibility of being shaken, which will trigger a major reshuffle within Asgard. I can use this turmoil to reorganize the forces within Asgard, and even create a better future for society.
Structural reform paves the way," Luo Ji concluded.
Strange clapped lightly and said to Luo Ji: "The God of Deception is well-deserved."
"In this plan one after another, you have accomplished all your goals, including awakening Thor, testing Odin, and disrupting Asgard's existing structure..."
"The only question is, how are Badr and Hela going to fight? Hela has negotiated terms with you, but Badr has not. Do you want Hela to fake the match?"
"Why not? Anyway, even if she defeated Baldr, she would not be able to defeat Odin. Sooner or later she would have to return to the Kingdom of Death. That would hurt both parties. If she was slightly defeated, it would not be a good idea to retreat temporarily and return to the Kingdom of Death to recharge her batteries.
Script?”
"Actually, I think this plan can be improved a little more." At this time, Schiller suddenly said, and the other three people focused their attention on him.
"How about we really fight?"
"What do you mean?" Nick stared at Schiller and asked, he was the first to smell something different.
Schiller looked at Strange and said, "You mentioned before that your Holy of Holies has created a magic broadcast that can send messages to the demon gods in the entire universe. Can he only send messages to some demon gods?
"Of course you can. Even if you don't need to broadcast, you can just use customer service."
"Okay, then the distinguished customers who have joined us as senior members before should get the latest cosmic news..."
"What do you mean?" Strange frowned and looked at Schiller.
"What I mean is that Baldur and Hela are going to fight anyway, so why not choose a place where there are more demon gods in the universe and really start a war."
"Before starting this war, we used broadcasts to send the message to the demon gods who had recharged high-level memberships in the Holy of Holies that the war was about to begin and asked them to take refuge. After that, we started fighting. All the people alive were members of the Holy of Holies.
The dead ones are membership gifts, how about that?"
The other three looked at each other, but before they could say anything, Schiller added: "Of course, I know what you are worried about. It's just that the scope is not wide enough, the manpower is not enough, and the lethality is not large enough, so it may not be possible to get many members.
Gifts to repay the money and so on..."...
"But it doesn't matter, don't we still have the most distinguished platinum members? Call them and start the war together. So many powerful cosmic demons start fighting at the same time, from Centaur to the Purgatory Nebula, from the eternal kingdom to the edge of hell, it's also
It’s normal, right?”
"At the same time, the Holy of Holies, which has a strong sense of cosmic responsibility and adheres to the spirit of humanitarianism, has opened a rapid evacuation channel. Those who are willing to join and become members of the evacuees are all gifts from nature."
"How much you can grab during the fight depends entirely on your ability. When you come back after the fight, the protection fee collected will be divided down according to the membership level..."
"Of course, this classification may be a bit confusing. After all, it is difficult to measure how much effort was made in the war with numbers."
"Then it is better to keep this part of the funds in the Holy of Holies. As their joint investment, we will give them regular dividends. If you want to get more dividends, just invest more. The more you invest, the more you will get..."
"Then we integrate the ownership structure, establish a board of directors, hire professional managers through voting by shareholders, divide the universe into large galaxy areas, large nebula areas, etc., then set up branches, hire managers, and adjust measures to local conditions..."
"...Ahem, I said a bit too much. It doesn't matter. Let's just follow the ten thousand year plan... Oh, wait, I forgot..."
Schiller looked around the three of them and said, "All three of you can live forever, right? But, unfortunately, I am an ordinary person, so I'm afraid..."
"Stop talking, ten sets of unlimited serums, this is the highest price I can offer."
"One hundred groups, otherwise no discussion."
Nick stared at Schiller with his one eye and said, "Deal."
Schiller smiled, picked up his glass and said, "To the universe."
The other three people had different expressions, but they all raised their glasses and said tacitly: "...to the universe."
