Chapter 990: Chapter 799: Really Accurate at Judging People_3

Loki often used this trick to prank them.

“This is indeed some of my insights…”

Loki’s gaze momentarily turned hazy. His magic was introduced to him by his mother, who had imparted countless advanced techniques to him without reservation.

But as for Illusion Technique, it stemmed purely from Loki’s own interest. He had been engrossed in its study, surpassing even his teacher’s skill.

From the few words he taught, Tao Yu could feel his personal imprint. This left him both in awe and with a sense of recognition.

After all, this was the man who could treat Thor like a hula hoop.

By comparison, he felt his own capabilities were rather impressive.

“You are a genius.”

Tao Yu’s tone of manipulation seeped into the atmosphere, instantly making Loki swell with pride.

“This is nothing. There’s even more magnificent things I didn’t mention…”

And so, in this kind of atmosphere, amid Tao Yu’s repeated exclamations of “Amazing” and “Genius,” Loki gradually lost himself.

When he finally snapped back to reality, arriving at the destination—the cave—he realized, unknowingly, he had shared quite a few of his deepest secrets without reservation.

Smart as Loki was, he immediately sensed something was off.

“Well, good job—are you tricking me?”

Tao Yu noticed Loki’s expression and instantly realized he had figured it out, then smiled slightly.

“Yes, but my compliments to you were genuine.”

“Heh, liar.”

Loki sneered, yet his heart felt a slight sense of satisfaction.

Soon after, he pointed ahead at the pitch-black cave and said:

“Here lies one of Asgard’s secret passages. It’s a branch extended from the roots of the World Tree. Though somewhat winding, it will lead us to our destination. Let’s go.”

With that, the group followed Loki into the depths.

Tao Yu could also feel a unique spatial fluctuation.

Having undergone three rounds of Deification with Spatial Talent, and now equipped with [Truth Analysis] obtained from Tony, upon entering, Tao Yu seemed capable of screening out all external distractions, perceiving an entirely energy-formed branch.

In Tao Yu’s vision, dazzling brilliance radiated, as the branch began to converge upward, piercing into the sky. Like a starry galaxy, it outlined the silhouette of a colossal tree.

Countless flows of energy intersected and shuttled along this path!

However, Tao Yu’s gaze soon narrowed as he noticed the other side of the World Tree—a strange, gray-tinted space.

Resembling an inverted mirror image of the Kabbalah Tree of Life, it appeared the World Tree had its dark counterpart!

Though suppressed by the Realm Will, this area could still be considered one of the cracks through which the Abyss invades.

“No wonder Heimdall’s sight is so sharp. This too is a problem…”

Tao Yu sighed, confirming Loki’s words entirely.

“Let’s proceed. This path hasn’t been polluted yet, and as long as there are no unforeseen changes, we shouldn’t have to worry in the short term…”

Initially cautious and fearing another trick from Loki, Thor and the others visibly relaxed after hearing Tao Yu’s reassurance.

Ever since Tao Yu revealed the Thunder God’s Hammer upon their first meeting, rescued Thor, pushed back the Abyss, and demonstrated his innate charm bolstered by the Witch’s allure, he had swiftly garnered enough trust in a short span of time…

—

As light appeared ahead, the group emerged from a cave, finding themselves at the edge of Asgard’s lake. Not far from here lay the bridge leading to the Rainbow Bridge’s body.

At that moment, the recently departed group was greeted by a wave of chilling cold.

The lake surface before them was entirely frozen over, as though Asgard had plunged into the depths of winter.

On the bridge above, several Asgardian soldiers patrolled vigilantly.

The physique of the Asgardians made them unbothered by this intense cold.

On the spherical hall of the Rainbow Bridge, however, total frost encased it!

From the pale blue ice, a trace of black radiance could faintly be seen within.

“See, I wasn’t lying to you. The reason it’s like this is because Heimdall, from within, keeps causing destruction, leading to the Power of Frost leaking out. Right now, I’ve simply placed the Ice Box on top of it.”

Loki extended his finger and pointed.

Not long after, a gentle voice arrived:

“Loki, have you brought Thor and the others back?”

Following that, an elegant, noble-looking woman holding a divine spear appeared at the bridgehead, looking at them.

It was none other than Queen Frigg.

The Eternal Spear’s innate aura of command and sharpness—even at this distance—made Tao Yu’s heart tremble in surprise.

If it carried such potency in Queen Frigg’s hands, one could only imagine its might when wielded directly by Odin.

Comparatively, Thunder God’s Hammer, while promising, still felt rather immature.

“Mother!”

The faces of Loki and Thor lit up with joy.

If there was one rare, shared trait between the two brothers, it was their love and respect for Queen Frigg.

Frigg nodded warmly, then turned her gaze towards Tao Yu.

“It seems there are new guests.”

“Jack has been acknowledged by the Thunder God’s Hammer and even saved my life. Otherwise, I might have ended up like Heimdall.”

By now, Thor too believed Loki’s earlier words. The frozen Rainbow Bridge platform and the Queen herself presented undeniable proof.

If Loki’s power consisted entirely of Illusion Techniques, it would’ve been unnecessary to go about it all so tediously.

“He is also the next Supreme Mage.”
