Chapter 157 Loki's desire, A-Zu's murderous intent

Padrick Farm.

The next day, early morning.

"I didn't understand what happened, but when I arrived, Lana had been rescued and she was lying on the ground."

Clark asked Peter in confusion: "Godfather, do you know who did it? Someone got there before us."

"I have no idea."

Peter shook his head and glanced at Loki who was pretending to be nonchalant.

"But now that the matter has been resolved, I guess none of this matters anymore."

Peter patted Clark on the shoulder, telling him not to take it to heart.

Facing the meaningful look from Peter, Loki suddenly felt guilty.

After Clark chatted with Peter for a while, he walked up to Loki and greeted him.

"What? Do you want to talk to me about your concerns?"

Loki looked at Clark, who was walking towards him, "If it's about your emotional experience, I probably won't be interested."

"No, I just want to apologize to you."

Clark apologized to Loki sincerely: "I shouldn't have identified you as a suspect without evidence. I'm sorry, this is my fault."

Loki looked at Clark who was apologizing and was stunned for a moment.

"I accept your apology."

Then he straightened his chest, like a victorious rooster, with an uncontrollable smile on his lips, and said to Clark: "But don't feel embarrassed, lowering your head to the future holy emperor will not make you ashamed. , Clark.”

Clark suddenly fell into a depressed state.

If I had known this apology earlier, I would not have apologized.

After breakfast, Clark, Azu and Star-Lord went to school.

Peter and Loki were the only two people left on the farm.

Loki was about to go upstairs, but was stopped by Peter.

"Loki, don't you have anything to say to me?"

Loki glanced to the left and right, "No, Father, I'm fine."

"Really? You haven't been learning runes from me lately."

Peter asked him, "Maybe I can help you review it."

Since this kid's fighting method has always been to attack with daggers, all magic is used by him for mischief.

Peter felt that he needed to train his fighting style.

"All right."

Loki nodded, and his figure instantly changed, turning into a young Loki wearing a crown.

"I told you, Loki, you are not allowed to transform at home!"

Seeing the other party's coquettish moves, Peter immediately frowned and said to him.

"Okay, okay, dad, I'll change back right away."

Facing Peter's unkind gaze, Loki immediately raised his hands in surrender and returned to his original shape.

Standing under the World Tree, Loki held the wand in his hand and nervously faced his father standing opposite.

He had sparred with Peter before and was beaten badly.

Although Loki has studied a lot of magic through the black magic book, they are all illusion magic, and this kind of magic cannot be hidden from Peter's eyes.

Peter's rune magic always makes him unable to parry.

Peter looked at Loki who was ready and said to him: "Now, wave your wand at me, Loki."

Loki resisted the desire to pull out the dagger, and immediately used his wand to construct a string of runes, summoning strong winds to attack Peter.

But in an instant, the violent wind he released was melted away by Peter's runes.

Unwilling to admit defeat, Loki did not use runes this time. Instead, he used his wand and the power of the World Tree to attack Peter directly.

The energy condensed from the tip of the wand and then violently released outward, emitting a scorching light and striking directly at Peter.

Facing Loki's attack, Peter used the "curse return" of the rune to directly return energy to the opponent.

Seeing the energy attacking him, Loki immediately turned around and ran away.

The next second, Peter moved in front of Loki who was about to escape and grabbed him.

"You just practice and run away, Loki. This is not what a mage should do."

"Because I know that facing my father, I will fail sooner or later."

Loki said plausibly.

"Failure is not a word to be uttered lightly, Loki."

"But isn't failure Loki's destiny?"

Loki suddenly asked him.

Peter was stunned for a moment, then touched his head, "Of course not, Loki, why do you think so?"

"Father, do you believe in parallel universes?"

"Yes, I believe it."

"My father, I often dream about Lokis in parallel universes. There are many, including a crocodile named Loki, a female Loki, and a child. They all say they are Loki. The only thing in common is that they all fail. ”

Peter asked him, "What failed?"

"If you choose to face your life bravely and choose to be a good person, you will definitely fail."

Peter asked Loki in surprise: "So you don't want to be a good person, Loki?"

"No, Father, it's just."

Loki didn't know how to describe his feelings, "I don't want to be a bad person, I just want."

"Hmm, so you want to escape."

Peter interrupted Loki without waiting for him to finish.

It turned out that this naughty kid didn't want to be a good person, but he also didn't want to be a bad person, so he pretended not to care about anything.

When Peter pointed it out, Loki was stunned for a moment.

Peter continued to ask him with a serious expression: "You don't hate John, Clark and Star-Lord, right? You just keep avoiding your feelings for them. You don't know how to face it, so you can only use this kind of prank Way to show others that you don’t care about them.”

"I"

When his father told him what he was thinking, Loki lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

"Any Loki who is a good person will die. Father, I saw a very old Loki. In order to survive, he cowardly pretended to be dead. In order to survive, he abandoned his brother and his people. Only in this way did he not care about anything and did not go anywhere. Pay attention and live for only a few thousand years.”

Peter nodded, "I think he will be very unhappy and live in pain all day long, right?"

"Yes, father."

Loki raised his head and said to Peter: "Living in pain or dying like a hero, which one is more meaningful?"

Peter did not answer directly, but touched his hair, "You don't want me to give you the answer to this question, but you need to find it yourself."

“Some people search all their lives and never find it, and some people realize it at a very early age.”

Peter comforted him: "You just need to know that dad and your brother will always love you, and those deaths, I will make it never happen."

Loki nodded and let out a breath, "But I guess John doesn't love me that much."

Peter was silent for a moment, trying to comfort the other person.

Unexpectedly, Loki said directly: "But this is just right, father, in the future I will inherit your throne and become the Lord of the Nine Realms. I will replace John and become your greatest glory!"

"I will be your greatest pride, father, not Star-Lord, nor John, nor Clark."

Looking at Loki, who seemed to be a bit chubby, Peter felt that the idea of ​​​​comforting him was purely because he was overthinking.

Meanwhile, Smallville High School.

Lana is thanking Clark.

"Thank you, Clark, thank you and Uncle Padric. If it weren't for you yesterday, I'm afraid I really would have."

Speaking of this, Lana felt deeply frightened.

She never imagined that Tina would try to replace her and end her life in such a cruel way.

"No, Lana, actually, by the time I arrived at the scene, you had already been rescued."

Clark didn't hide what happened last night.

Lana was stunned for a moment after hearing this, but she still said to the other party: "No matter what, it was you who saved me. Thank you, Clark."

As she spoke, she gave Clark a hug.

"Nice hug."

After Lana left, Azu stood behind Clark and said to him.

Clark, who was startled, turned around and saw Azu with an expression like "people are eating melons."

"But you have to be careful, sometimes love can easily get to your head."

Clark shrugged his shoulders and said, "My sanity will not be easily destroyed unless I wear a ruby ​​ring again."

"Hey, Clark."

While the two were talking, Chloe came over and greeted them, "And John, good morning."

"As someone who witnessed last night's big news event, can I interview you as the editor-in-chief of Torch News?"

Chloe asked Clark for an interview.

"No, actually I hit him by mistake. I think there's nothing to say. You should interview the police."

Chloe moved her eyebrows, "Really? I counted the news that happened in Smallville in the past two years. You appeared at the scene of the accident 22 times, of course not including this time, and John, who appeared 11 times at the scene of the accident, and 14 times your godfather appeared on the news scene, Clark, your family always showed up on the scene by accident.”

"As a friend, I think you must have your own reasons. Maybe you can share them with me. I promise to keep them confidential."

Chloe asked him curiously: "Are Uncle Padrick's family aliens?"

When Clark heard this, he suddenly felt extremely dizzy.

He turned his eyes for help to Azu next to him, but found that the other person had already disappeared.

"Okay, but I don't know any more than you do."

Clark had no choice but to agree to the other party and decided to make up something to fool him.

After school in the afternoon, Azu walked home alone without waiting for Clark to be interviewed by Chloe.

As soon as I walked out of the school gate, I saw a black Saber parked outside, and several strong men in black suits were looking into the campus.

Looking at the headset and capable movements of the other party, Azu could easily tell that the other party was definitely a government figure.

"Federal agent?"

Azu thought secretly in his heart.

Could it be that government officials discovered something unusual about my father and myself, so they came to investigate?

If the other party is here to investigate your side, should you kill them?

Stopping, Azu turned his attention to the black suits.
