over Tokyo.

Black wings cut through the clouds.

The private jet bearing the Stark Group logo landed with an extremely stable attitude.

Above are Tony, Steve and the others who received the message, as well as Loki and Thor.

And the reason Tony... agreed with Loki to come with him was because of an old painting he was looking at.

This is Loki coming out of Odin's Vault.

On the screen, the sky is cyan mixed with the color of fire.

The only giant tree stands, and the dead branches extend in all directions, woven into a dense net, supporting the cracked sky.

Withered bones all over the wasteland, black giant beasts rose from the depths of the pile of bones, their wings were covered with skeletons, and after spreading huge amounts of membrane wings, they spit out black flames in the sky.

"This is the Black King Nidhogg?!99

Tony took a deep breath, relieved the tightness in his chest, and murmured to himself, with lingering surprise in his eyes.

"Yes, I found it in the Odin Vault.

Loki raised an eyebrow and nodded, leaning against the wall of the plane, playing absentmindedly with a dagger.

"No, why have I never seen it?" Thor asked in confusion.

"20 because you've got muscles in your head, just focus on those weapons."

Loki shrugged.

"KR..."

A look of anger appeared on Thor's face.

"Well, at this critical moment, we should be united." Steve stood up and stopped the two brothers who were arguing on a daily basis.

"If I hadn't found Hela's trail here, I wouldn't have come."

Loki pouted and threw the dagger out.

"Enough Loki!

Thor caught the dagger and roared.

"Man, keep calm. 39

Tony grabbed him speechlessly, then frowned at Loki and asked, "Where did you get the information? I told J.A.R.V.I.S to call all the Stark group satellites, but I didn't find any clues about Hela. 99

"That's a long story.

Loki's eyes were deep, and he touched the neck where there should have been three black hooks.

After the plane landed, Tony and the others rushed to Obama City and joined Natasha Romanoff and Hawkeye, while Loki made an excuse and came to a secret base in Shibuya District, Tokyo alone.

Here from the outside, it's a quaint temple courtyard.

But when Loki came in, everything changed color in an instant.

In the empty courtyard, there were no longer streams, rockeries, and flowers and plants, but a giant white snake spitting out letters with a coiled body.

On the top of the snake's head, there is a single horn that looks like a crystal.

As they circled and swam, red-gold vertical pupils stared at Loki, blazing with light.

"Long time no see, Lord Orochimaru.

Loki's body was tense, and his heart was extremely vigilant, but on the surface, he still looked as if nothing had happened, with a signature smile on his face, and greeted Roar, the man standing next to the giant snake.

"It's been a while since I really saw you."

【Orochimaru】Licking his lips, he stared at Loki with deep meaning, until he saw his scalp tingling, the corners of his mouth twitched and said:

"I heard your father died?"

66

Loki's smile faltered, and he was ready to kill.

But when he thought that he couldn't beat him, he quickly calmed down again and said with a cold smile: "This shouldn't be what we want to discuss."

"Hehe. 35

Orochimaru smiled inexplicably, turned and walked towards the building opposite the courtyard, similar to a Buddhist temple.

Loki hesitation for a while, still gritted his teeth through the white snakes staring at him with red golden eyes, and followed behind Orochimaru.

Tata --

The two passed a three- or four-meter-high torii gate with mottled red lacquer, and came to the Yin Temple to worship ghosts and gods.

There is not a single light here.

In front of the white veil, stands tall wooden sculptures.

The heads of the sculptures are all hidden in the darkness, and they seem to be looking down at the people who step in here, fierce and vicious.

There are also various sacrificial utensils around.

For example, in the dark red shrine, an unknown ancient god is seated, and a purple rope as thick as an arm is wrapped around his shoulders, just like a dragon guarding the throne of the god.

"you......"

Loki frowned slightly, wanting to ask why Orochimaru brought himself here.

But the next moment, the breeze blew the white veil, and Loki saw the ancient frescoes hidden in the shadows.

It was a work so beautiful that it made me want to cry.

The artist boldly used two colors of ochre and indigo to paint.

On the frescoes, ancient creatures with human bodies and snake tails formed a sacrificial procession that could not be seen at a glance. Some held torches, some held long staffs.

There are also dragons with wings on their backs.

The sacrificial procession danced around the huge amounts of burrows, and in the burrows lay huge amounts of bones.

The artist painted the dead bone with melted real gold, with the sun in its left eye and the moon in its right.

Loki squinted slightly and stared at the mural for a long time before suddenly asking:

"It's your goal this time, isn't it? The White King who is on a par with the Black King Nidhogg, and the White Emperor who is above the top of the dragons."

"It seems that you have found a lot of clues in Japan."

Orochimaru smiled softly, and waved a wind blade to tear all the white veils apart.

A huge shadow wall with a height of four meters and a width of more than ten meters, with a gilt top, was revealed in front of Loki.

on that.

Eight monsters with long necks and eight heads were lying on the ground, and their heads were drinking water from the upper reaches of eight rivers.

The sharp long tail cuts through the mountains at the end of the river, and the bright red water flows out of the belly and mixes into the river.

Another naked woman was frozen in huge amounts of ice, and a snake burrowed out of a crack in the ice to talk to the person above the ice...

Loki looked at these incredible and symbolic images, and his voice fell unconsciously.

"So, what do you want me to do? 35

"Do what you do best, Loki.

Orochimaru stared at the gorgeous and hideous mural, and the corner of his mouth evoked a crazy arc.

"Such a beautiful creature should not be buried, should it?

Loki fell silent, and after a long time said: "According to the agreement, you have to help me deal with Hela first."

"It's not a conflict."

Orochimaru turned around abruptly, the dark golden pupils shone brightly, "The great white king needs sacrifices to return in a prosperous manner.

"Your sister is a good choice.
