I Became Spider-Man's Cousin in Anime Crossover

Chapter 204 Loki: The Shadow Legion isn't cunning enough?!

"Proof? Guard, open your eyes wide and look carefully, then tell me, who is standing in front of you?"

Of course, before heading to Jotunheim, Loki had already guessed that if he used a spell to shield his senses, it would inevitably arouse Heimdall's vigilance and suspicion.

However, Loki had already prepared a corresponding solution for this.

That is Heimdall's loyalty to the Asgardian royal family.

Therefore, Loki did not panic at all when faced with Heimdall's questioning. Instead, he took the initiative and frowned as he questioned Heimdall.

"...Please forgive my rudeness, Your Highness, I was only thinking of the safety of Asgard."

Knowing Loki's character, Heimdall knew that Loki was definitely hiding some shady secrets.

But just as Loki had predicted...

Before Loki's true identity—a descendant of the royal family of the Frost Giants—was revealed.

Heimdall, who had once sworn to be forever loyal to and obey the Asgardian royal family, now harbored no doubts about Loki. With his extraordinary wisdom, he even vaguely suspected that Loki was involved in the Frost Giants' invasion and Thor's banishment to Earth.

However, in public, Loki is still the little prince of Asgard, and now the acting king of Asgard.

Heimdall could only remain silent for a moment before reluctantly softening his tone and responding in accordance with Loki's words.

"It seems you're not so old that you've forgotten manners."

What Loki was waiting for was the moment when Heimdall would relent and acknowledge Loki as the rightful and legitimate heir to the Asgardian throne.

Therefore, with a smug smile flashing in his eyes, Loki did not forget to press his advantage and relentlessly questioned Heimdall.

"Furthermore, Heimdall, I want to ask you... You clearly possess such immense power, why did Odin never doubt you, and even entrust you with the crucial task of guarding the Rainbow Bridge? Is it because Odin is more powerful than you?"

"Because he is the King of Asgard, I will swear allegiance to him, Your Highness."

"So, until Odin's slumber ends, I am the king you should swear allegiance to, and you should unconditionally obey my commands, right?"

"……Yes."

"Very well, from now on, without my order, you are not to open the Rainbow Bridge for anyone. Until I have completely cleaned up this mess left behind by Odin's sudden slumber."

With each word spoken, they gradually veered off-topic, using suggestive language to lure Heimdall into a trap they had prepared.

Having successfully won Heimdall's loyalty, Loki, like a victorious rooster in a cockfight, unceremoniously ordered Heimdall to seal the Rainbow Bridge. Then, head held high, he strode triumphantly towards the palace.

But what Loki didn't notice was...

As Heimdall watched Loki leave, seemingly forced to compromise, he was actually keeping a close eye on Loki's retreating figure the whole time...

Or rather, Loki's shadow.

Clearly, Heimdall, whose perception was second only to Odin throughout Asgard, had discovered the dark creature lurking in Loki's shadow. Based on this, he was certain that Loki, who had returned tainted with darkness after a trip, was the mastermind behind this series of events!

Of course, Heimdall really wronged Loki this time.

Having anticipated the plot's development, Riley, after separating from Thor, specifically instructed Jade to summon ninja soldiers to infiltrate the shadow of Mjolnir. This would allow her to conveniently infiltrate Loki's shadow and monitor his movements in real time when Loki attempted to lift the hammer.

Therefore, despite all his calculations, Loki never expected that he would end up taking the blame for Jade Black and unwittingly revealing his ambitions ahead of time!

But in any case, Heimdall, after his brief encounter with Loki, could not simply stand by and watch Loki continue to sit on the throne of Asgard.

While remaining silent and continuing to safeguard the Rainbow Bridge, Heimdall began to ponder how to thwart Loki's ambitions.

Fortunately, Heimdall's luck is obviously much better than that of a certain unlucky person who gets all the guaranteed drops.

As the saying goes, when you're sleepy, someone brings you a pillow.

Just as Heimdall was deep in thought, desperately searching for a way out of the impasse, an argument involving the names "Thor" and "Heimdall" immediately caught his attention.

Following the direction of the sound, Heimdall turned his gaze and was surprised to find that the Asgardian quartet, who had fought alongside Thor and shared life and death with him, were loudly "plotting" how to rescue Thor without Heimdall's knowledge!

"I propose that we bring Thor back before the war breaks out. After His Majesty the King enters a state of hibernation, only he possesses sufficient power to stop this war."

While Thor's teammates were filled with anxiety and worry because of his demotion to Earth, and even argued about it.

Despite having an Asian face, Hogan, after a brief moment of contemplation, made a bold suggestion.

"Hiss...! Are you kidding me? Thor was personally banished by His Majesty the King! That's treason!"

With his golden curly hair, Fandral thought he was radical enough.

After all, he was so emotional that he personally overturned the food that Volstagg was enjoying, angrily accusing the other party of not being worried about Thor at all, and it seemed that a real fight was about to break out!

But it wasn't until he heard Hogan's suggestion that Fandall, who instinctively gasped, realized with a start...

Compared to Hogan, who remained silent until he made a stunning debut...

I'm too conservative to just feel annoyed and anxious for no reason without taking any real action!

"Hey, what treason? How can you say that... This is clearly someone who's tired of living, eager to commit suicide!"

Meanwhile, Vostagg, the burly, tall man with a thick red beard who had been arguing fiercely with Fandral, was also deeply impressed by Hogan's suggestion. He put aside his conflict with Fandral and, echoing Fandral's words, began to offer his own sarcastic remarks.

"When His Majesty the King wakes up and discovers that we have disobeyed his will, he will surely kill us!"

"The risk is indeed great... but I believe that if it were us, banished to the mortal realm, Thor would also choose to take the risk to save us."

Although everyone else chose to oppose it.

However, Sif, Thor's childhood sweetheart who has secretly loved him since childhood and is considered by Odin as a potential daughter-in-law, is clearly tempted by Hogan's proposal.

After frowning and pondering for a while, in order to bring her beloved back to Asgard safely, Sif deliberately exaggerated the consequences of the outbreak of war in an attempt to persuade her comrades-in-arms.

"Besides, if we don't hurry and bring Thor back... once war breaks out, even more people will die. Even the entire Asgard could be destroyed! So, rather than waiting here to die, let's take a big gamble!"
