Chapter 996 - Chapter 743: Earth Has Compelling Reasons to Join Akatsuki! (Part 2)

Moreover, Thor has another reason: only he can personally escort his brother to prevent Loki from using tricks to escape, only he can ensure Loki won't get away…

This person is really confident…

Uehara Naraku couldn't help but glance at Thor.

Thor, this guy, is indeed a total brother complex!

It just so happens, Uehara Naraku likes those brother complexes and similar characters the most. The bonds they possess mean they are easily manipulated…

However, Thor is a bit different.

If Loki's actions conflict with what is considered just, Thor seems to support justice and even forcibly wants his brother Loki to support justice together…

This brother complex is somewhat unqualified.

The table was bustling with activity.

This group only had four people, yet they discussed two topics, occasionally chiming in on each other's conversations, making it quite lively.

"Remember to apologize to Father when you go back."

Thor held a large mug of beer, drinking heartily, occasionally looking back at his brother: "Mother's mood has been down, Loki, remember not to upset or worry us. You're my only brother…"

"But I also have a sister."

With one sentence, Loki stumped Thor.

Loki, the legendary Nordic Evil God, watched his brother get choked on beer, a smile involuntarily broke at the corner of his mouth: "How fortunate, luckily I'm not the only brother…"

"That woman named Hela is not even confirmed as our sister yet!"

Thor drank down the beer in his mug with abandon, then continued indifferently: "We've lived in Asgard for so long, have you ever heard of Hela?"

"Maybe it's because Odin has kept it hidden?"

Loki glanced at his brother, a touch of mocking smile appeared: "Hmph, Odin always likes to hide the truth…"

Like the truth about his own origins.

Before the truth was revealed, Loki always thought Odin and Queen Frigga were his biological parents, yearning for their approval…

Loki always enjoyed the unconditional maternal love of his adoptive mother, Queen Frigga, and even received Frigga's magic inheritance. That witch truly treated him as her own son.

This often caused imbalance in Loki's mindset; he maintained an indifferent attitude toward Odin's family, yet simultaneously longed to do something to make Odin and Frigga respect him.

Perhaps it was out of habit.

Perhaps for other reasons.

Perhaps seeking the meaning of existence.

All in all, ascending the throne remains Loki's greatest ambition.

Initially, after leading the Chitauri to defeat, Loki placed his hope of succeeding to Asgard's throne in the hands of Death Goddess Hela.

"I hope we get the opportunity to meet our sister."

A trace of a mocking smile appeared at the corner of Loki's lips as he said softly: "Hehe, hoping that when we return to Asgard, Odin won't hide the truth anymore…"

"We don't have a sister."

Suddenly, Thor leaned in, placing a hand on Loki's shoulder, laughing and said: "I have only one brother, and you have only one brother…"

"Idiot…"

Loki rubbed his forehead.

Tony Stark glanced at the lively conversation between Thor and Loki and couldn't help but interject: "Hey, Thor, you guys might really have a sister… Wasn't Loki's staff just taken away?"

"Believe me, Loki's most talented at deception."

Thor shook his head and refilled his large beer mug.

"Loki's right."

"You indeed have a sister."

"And your sister is hiding somewhere on Earth, secretly developing Hydra as her claws…"

"The enemy information we got from the Helicarrier indicates it's said to be Hela's Hydra. They were the ones who released Loki from the Helicarrier."

A man's voice came from outside.

Nick Fury walked into the restaurant step by step, explaining about Death Goddess Hela: "The latest intelligence indicates our war isn't over. Hela's Hydra has already started causing trouble…"

Yes.

The Battle of New York isn't over yet.

Many Hydra agents have appeared in the world secretly searching for Hela, which really frustrated Nick Fury. Are we heading toward another interstellar war?

Loki in front hadn't even left yet…

Hela behind quickly filled the gap…

Can't these Asgardian princes and princesses calm down a bit? Why are they causing chaos on such a small place like Earth?

Compared to the alien invaders led by Loki, once we grasp the information, dealing with them isn't actually that difficult…

However…

Death Goddess Hela's Hydra has infiltrated various departments across the world, including S.H.I.E.L.D., which is their sworn enemy, and there are still quite a few spies here…

This frustrated Nick Fury.

Death Goddess Hela is harder to deal with than Loki!

Therefore, before discussing Akatsuki's intelligence with Uehara Naraku and Tony Stark, Nick Fury had to settle one thing: the relationship between Asgard and Hela!

Or…

Nick Fury needs to know if Asgard will support Hela's actions on Earth, and if Asgard can assist in capturing Hela, just like capturing Loki…

Thor's face was still confused, but he boldly downed another mug of beer before speaking: "After meeting Father, I'll clarify matters regarding Death Goddess Hela, Asgard and Earth have a long-standing friendship…"

"But before that…"

Thor looked at Uehara Naraku, sincerely speaking: "We must use the Tesseract to rebuild the Rainbow Bridge to ensure smooth communication between Asgard and Earth… Moreover…"

Thor sighed slowly: "The Tesseract has awakened, if it remains on Earth, sooner or later Earth will face enemies you cannot possibly confront…"

As long as Earth possesses the Tesseract, anytime it could capture the gamma rays radiating from the Tesseract's energy, forming new space channels…

Therefore.

The Tesseract being kept in Asgard is the safest.

"Special Agent Uehara."

Nick Fury casually spoke after deeply looking at Thor: "The Tesseract should be with you, right? Hand it over to Thor for safekeeping…"

Nick Fury showed no reluctance whatsoever.

Because Nick Fury also realized the truth, before Earth is adequately prepared to deal with those formidable alien invaders from the universe, they can only temporarily hand over the Tesseract to their allies in Asgard.

Moreover, it seems necessary to hand over the Tesseract to Asgard, otherwise Thor and Loki would have to remain on Earth…

"Yes, sir."

Uehara Naraku took out a smaller Tesseract, placed it on the table in front of them, and spoke softly: "There seems to be some changes, it should still be usable…"

Of course, it can still be used.

The true core of the Tesseract is the Space Stone, one of the six Infinity Stones in the universe, it is the most powerful and abundant source of energy.

As for why it's in the form of a Tesseract, it's because the Space Stone has long been releasing excess energy, forming a protective layer around the Space Stone.

"Alright, then Loki and I will return to Asgard first."

Thor nodded, took the Tesseract from the table, glanced at everyone present, and said softly: "I'll report to Father about Hela…"

Afterward, Thor grabbed his brother Loki, took the Tesseract and transformed into the teleporting Rainbow Bridge, disappearing before them.

"Well then."

Nick Fury glanced over at the spot where Thor and Loki vanished, then turned to Uehara Naraku and Tony: "Let's talk about Akatsuki… There's a reason for someone on Earth to join the Akatsuki organization."
