Chapter 91 Toys?
Leon smiled faintly.
He knew the direction of this chess game too well.
But he was not the player.
He was the one who overturned the chessboard and grabbed the pieces in his hands.
Loki's self-righteous backstab.
Thanos's plan, meticulously crafted over many years.
In his eyes, they were nothing more than children's squabbles.
All he had to do was gather all the firewood that could glow before the fireworks ignited.
Leon's gaze pierced through time and space, landing on the other end of the Universe.
That magnificent divine realm... Asgard.
One day ago.
That is, after Jane Foster and others were imprisoned.
Asgard Golden Hall.
The atmosphere here was somewhat oppressive.
"Boom!!"
Odin slammed his divine spear heavily on the ground, and the golden divine power Impact knocked Thor to the ground.
"Foolish!"
In Odin's single eye, anger burned.
"You, the Great General of Asgard, god of Thunder!"
"You actually made a mistake you shouldn't have!"
Odin's voice boomed like thunder, echoing through the Golden Hall.
Thor scrambled to his feet, his face full of shame.
"Father! I..."
"What about you?!" Odin's anger grew even fiercer.
"What do you take the dignity of Asgard for?! What do you take the safety of the Nine Realms for?!"
"You almost destroyed Midgard!"
Thor suddenly looked up: "I didn't! The passage opened by the Tesseract was empty!"
"Bang!!"
Odin struck with an empty palm, and a giant hand formed of divine power slammed Thor hard against the wall again.
"That was the greatest humiliation!!"
Odin trembled with rage.
"Loki is using your foolishness to announce to the entire Universe! Asgard's defenses are nothing but a joke!!"
"He succeeded!"
"He, right in front of me, handed the key to the enemy in the darkness!!"
Odin's anger was not just because the defenses were breached.
It was also because he sensed it.
That spatial coordinate pointed to an enemy... Thanos!
A flicker of weariness crossed Odin's single eye.
He was too old.
Odin's Sleep was drawing nearer, and he no longer had the energy to launch a Universe-wide war.
He needed a... Another figure appeared in Odin's mind.
His proudest, and most feared, son.
Leon.
If Leon were here... Odin's brow furrowed even deeper.
No.
If Leon were here, he wouldn't be as reckless as Thor.
He would smile and tell himself: "Father, Loki's provocation is a trampling of your majesty. Please permit me to lead the fleet and flatten Thanos's sanctuary."
He desired war more than Hela.
"Father..."
Thor struggled to stand, his voice hoarse.
"I... I failed your expectations."
Thor's heart was filled with frustration.
He never feared his father's thunderous wrath.
But Leon's disappointment.
He could imagine what kind of look Leon would give him when he found out about all this.
"Oh? My dear brother."
"It seems mjolnir, in your hands, besides smashing a few chunks of Jotunheim ice, is only good for causing trouble?"
"Damn it!"
Thor was somewhat disheartened.
Odin looked at him in this state, and the anger in his eyes gradually extinguished, turning into deep weariness.
"Thor, you..."
Odin closed his single eye.
"Until Leon returns, you are not to step out of the Golden Hall even half a step!"
"You will reflect properly here!!"
...Dungeon.
The deepest part.
Loki sat elegantly in the corner, his back to the cell door.
He should have been laughing wildly, he should have been excited.
But he just sat quietly, his face clouded with confusion.
He also couldn't understand why it was empty.
He clearly sensed the Tesseract's activation, sensed the power that tore through space!
But why was there no invasion?
Why no fleet?
Why not even an advance guard?!
"Impossible..."
Loki's brows were tightly furrowed.
"The plan was perfect, Thanos also responded..."
He suddenly stood up and paced back and forth in the cell.
"Unless..."
A chilling thought crept into his mind.
"Unless, Thanos is wary of something."
"Is he wary of Asgard? No, he's wary of Father. But Father is old..."
"Then who is he wary of?"
Loki stopped pacing.
Leon.
"Impossible..."
Loki's breathing quickened.
"He's just an arrogant brute! A Thor who's better at disguising himself!"
"How could he possibly affect Thanos's plan?!"
Loki shook his head desperately, trying to shake off the thought.
He suddenly remembered.
Last time, he sent the Destroyer to Midgard... He remembered Leon's eyes... Loki shivered.
"No! No! Something must have gone wrong!"
Loki slumped back into the corner, his eyes filled with despair... Earth, Villa.
Medical room.
Leon sat on the sofa in the hall, but his perception had long since enveloped every corner of the Villa.
He saw everything in the medical room.
Pietro lay in the medical pod, his body covered in various tubes.
His bones were almost completely shattered.
But under the effect of Asgardian divine power, his wounds were healing.
Wanda sat beside the medical pod.
She tremblingly reached out her hand.
Strands of red energy appeared at her fingertips.
Chaos Magic.
She was no longer afraid of it.
When she saw how Leon brought back the woman who was almost gone.
Wanda suddenly understood.
In this World, power has no good or evil.
Only strength or weakness.
And Leon... was the definition of strong.
She clenched her fist, and the energy slowly converged in her palm.
"I need to control it."
"I need to become stronger."
"I can't be a burden to my brother anymore."
"I must gain Leon's approval."
Leon heard her thoughts.
Very good.
That's right.
Fear is the best teacher.
"As for the other one..."
Leon's perception shifted to the corner of the medical room.
Makkari.
She was leaning against the wall, bored, flipping through a copy of "VOGUE" magazine.
She had snuck it out of the Villa's library.
She was indifferent to Pietro's fate.
She felt she was just carrying out Leon's orders.
"Watch him, don't let him die."
This task... was too boring.
Makkari yawned, quickly finishing the magazine.
Her gaze involuntarily drifted towards the guy lying in the medical pod.
How pitiful.
A mischievous glint flashed in Makkari's eyes.
She had seen countless speedsters in the Universe.
But she had never seen one as slow as Pietro.
Even more ridiculous, he actually dared to resist Leon?
Makkari couldn't help but shiver at the thought of Leon's domain of light.
In front of him, she didn't even have the right to escape.
This realization made her despair, but it also made her... excited.
For the first time in thousands of years, she felt her limits.
"Train him?"
Makkari looked at Pietro.
"Alright."
"Consider it raising a slightly faster White mouse."
Just then.
"Buzz..."
The medical pod's door made a soft sound and slowly opened.
Pietro suddenly opened his eyes!
"Ha... ha... ha..."
He gasped for air, suddenly sat up, and ripped off the tubes from his body.
"Brother!" Wanda exclaimed in surprise.
Pietro ignored her.
His eyes were bloodshot, staring intently at Makkari in the corner!
He remembered everything!
The afterimage that was almost gone!
The sound that slammed him into the wall!
And the sight of the other party being dragged back by Leon in a sorry state!
"You..."
Pietro's voice was a little low.
"Are you also his prisoner?"
Makkari was stunned.
She put down the magazine and raised an eyebrow.
She slowly stood up and walked to Pietro's front.
She was half a head shorter than Pietro, but at this moment, she exuded an oppressive presence.
