Chapter 107: The Promise Keeper, Bai Luo
Ten minutes later.
Earth.
Bai Luo crouched down, watching the scene before him.
In front of Loki, a Yellow Paper Talisman was spontaneously igniting without any wind. As the paper burned away, the runes drawn on the Talisman remained intact, glowing with a blood-red, terrifying light that surged toward Loki.
Loki instinctively tried to dodge, but the Talisman's speed was astonishing. In an instant, it had merged into Loki's body, and it took him a moment to regain his senses.
The ten-minute period was set by Bai Luo for a simple reason: Thor needed some time to regain his powers.
At this moment, Loki was still unaware that he had lost both his lady and his troops. He didn't quite understand the contracts of these Easterners. Of course, Bai Luo hadn't explained anything to him. He knew very well that there was no need to explain the consequences of his actions to someone like Loki; even if he did, it wouldn't matter. Loki would still act according to his own will. Only after suffering a loss would he consider changing his ways.
But Bai Luo had invested heavily this time, spending two thousand points to exchange for a Blood Curse Talisman. This item belonged to a fringe category of Talismans, akin to "drawing a circle to curse you." Generally, it required the user's blood or hair for activation. However, under Bai Luo's persuasion, Loki willingly offered some blood, making it work.
Now, as Loki looked at Bai Luo's devilish smile, he felt something was off.
Yet Bai Luo stood up with a clap of his hands and said, "See? If you had done this earlier, we could have settled things amicably without all this fuss."
Loki snorted coldly, visibly displeased. At that moment, he thought to himself that he would never deal with the Infinity Stones again and wondered how Bai Luo could possibly handle him.
Bai Luo didn't seem to care much. After thinking for a moment, he patted Loki on the shoulder and said, "Alright then, I'll bring Thor to you shortly."
Loki nodded and replied, "Make it quick. I am now the King of Asgard and have many affairs to attend to; I can't afford to wait."
"Of course," Bai Luo said with an apologetic smile.
Bai Luo still maintained a strong sense of professionalism; having already deceived him, making Loki feel somewhat powerful in front of him could be considered an added bonus.
Bai Luo didn't act immediately. He rubbed his hands together, grinning like a shrewd merchant. "So, where's the Infinity Gauntlet?"
Loki's lips twitched as he called out, and the Infinity Gauntlet was quickly teleported down.
It was a replica from Odin's Vault, not even the same hand as the genuine one held by Thanos. This version from Odin's Vault had already been embedded with six Infinity Stones, crafted so well that it looked almost real.
This item was naturally something Bai Luo had arranged for in advance.
Loki glanced at Bai Luo and then at the Infinity Gauntlet on the ground. After a moment of thought, he asked, "I really don't understand. Since you know this is a fake... why do you still want it?"
At that moment, Loki displayed an expression that suggested he had no intention of giving in, yet he asked the question casually.
Bai Luo didn't mind. As a proletarian traveler and farmer, anything he could get his hands on was good enough for him. He picked up the Infinity Gauntlet and stored it in his Storage Talisman before saying, "Look how realistic this thing is. If I wear it and show it off, who wouldn't be fooled?"
Loki looked at this person before him and once again felt speechless.
Bai Luo chuckled and said, "By the way, Loki, have you ever thought about improving your own hard power?"
"Huh?"
"I know a great method—have you heard of it?" Bai Luo continued. "Shave your head bald, and in just a few minutes, you can become an unparalleled powerhouse."
Loki's eyes twitched as he muttered, "Are you trying to fool me?"
"No, no, no! How could I?" Bai Luo laughed. "I have scientific backing for this. You see, the shame that Daoist practices can bestow upon a person theoretically grants infinite power; everyone has this potential..."
Loki silently listened to Bai Luo for about five minutes before he finally couldn't hold back any longer. He said, "You are definitely trying to fool me... Are you stalling for time? Is something going on with Thor over there?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Luo stopped speaking. After a moment of contemplation, he replied, "No, well... since you don't want to hear my secret technique, I'll be honest: I don't think you'd want to see Thor."
"Loki said, 'He is my brother, and now he is just a mortal. Besides, I haven't done anything wrong...'
Bai Luo had already gotten into a nearby car and sped off towards the town in the distance.
Loki watched Bai Luo's figure disappear into the horizon, feeling that something was amiss.
But at this moment, there was nothing he could do.
He thought to himself, after all, his brother had been stripped of his divine powers by Odin; he was now almost like an ordinary person and posed no threat to him. What was there to be afraid of?
Loki had even devised a clever plan. He intended to banish Thor to the depths of space, to a place where no one could find him. And if Odin were to awaken from Odin's Sleep, he would pin the blame on that foolish Earthling named Bai Luo—after all, who made him suffer so much on Earth?
This Earthling had plotted against him, and he would have to pay the price.
As Loki pondered, he calmed down and stood quietly on this Earth, waiting for that foolish Earthling to bring Thor back.
Then...
Bai Luo proved to be quite trustworthy.
Soon enough, Loki saw a tall figure approaching from the town not far away.
It was indeed his older brother Thor, with his sun-like golden hair looking almost unchanged.
Upon seeing him, Loki slowly smiled.
At that moment, what came to his mind was the look of despair and disbelief that Thor might show when he was banished.
Goodbye, Thor. Goodbye, old..."
Wait, hold on...
Loki's gaze shifted downward and quickly landed on the hammer that Thor was casually holding in his right hand.
That was... Mjolnir?
Then...
Loki's expression changed. Without waiting for Thor to approach, he shouted loudly, and in an instant, he was teleported away, completely forgetting his earlier thoughts about not having done anything wrong.
Thor certainly wouldn't let this go easily.
Meanwhile, not far away in the town, Bai Luo was thinking: I hope these two don't end up destroying the Rainbow Bridge.
