Chapter 988: Chapter 799: Really Accurate at Judging People
“Heimdall has gone mad? I think you’re the one who’s mad! And you froze him? Using the Frost Box?!”
Thor stared at Loki, his eyes filled with disappointnt. Even at this point, his brother was still trying to deceive him.
Did he really think my brain didn’t work?
Not just Thor, even Sif and the Three Warriors of the Immortal Palace were now highly wary of Loki, completely distrustful of his words.
“Ha! Everything was fine when we left. Heimdall even helped us get to Midgard. You must have felt slighted and disrespected, thinking he betrayed you, which is why you attacked him!”
Sif reprimanded him sharply.
“Loki, you are not the king of Asgard yet!”
Vostag roared furiously.
The mistrust didn’t evoke any extra reaction from Loki, as if their suspicions were perfectly natural.
Because, when he discovered Heimdall secretly sending people to Midgard, he was genuinely furious.
He hadn’t even taken action yet — when he was still arguing with Heimdall — that guy suddenly witnessed Thor being captured by soone…
Seeing Thor now, alive and energetic, Loki simply smirked, not at all bothered by their distrust.
“Well, so really do understand ,” he thought with a trace of satisfaction.
Yet, his face still bore that infuriatingly smug smile.
“I know you don’t believe , but do you really think I’d concoct such an easily debunked lie? Even my muscle-brained brother wouldn’t co up with sothing so dumb.”
Loki’s taunt managed to enrage Thor further. Just as Thor raised his hand, Tao Yu flicked his finger, sending Thor sprawling to the side.
Soon after, a circular teleportation portal appeared, and Thor began revolving between two areas like a hula hoop, hollering loudly.
The sudden spectacle startled Sif and the rest, leaving them baffled.
Only the sharp-eyed Tony raised a curious eyebrow.
“What do you think? Is there any credibility in his words?”
“Hmm, maybe a little…”
Tao Yu had divined Heimdall before and indeed sensed a realm of chaos. Initially, he hadn’t thought much of it, assuming it was tied to so Divine Artifact in Asgard.
But given the Big Boss’s use of Abyss to muddle his divinations, Tao Yu had also done a reading on Big Boss and now recognized a certain similarity between the two sensations!
If Heimdall was indeed infected by Abyss Pollution, then Loki’s claims might not be entirely unlikely!
Of course, it’s likely the cunning fellow is hiding sothing.
As far as Loki was concerned, Tao Yu always had high expectations. After all, Loki was essentially his quickest ticket to obtaining the Mind Stone.
Tao Yu could tolerate considerable variations in other matters, but with Loki, he specifically wanted him to clash with Thor in the royal city.
Who could’ve foreseen that Thor’s side would turn out to have the most unpredictable changes and headaches?
“Now, can you go over what happened in detail? And were there any unusual behaviors from Heimdall before he went mad…?”
Tao Yu’s willingness to entertain Loki’s story surprised Sif and the Three Warriors of the Immortal Palace.
The ever-impulsive Vostag spoke up.
“Oh, my friend, future Supre Mage, defender of Earth… you must understand, Loki is the God of Trickery. His favorite pasti is pulling pranks. Deceiving Thor is one of his masterpieces…”
Following Tao Yu’s intervention that made Thor more reasonable, the Asgardians had all turned noticeably more agreeable.
When they were with Tao Yu, the usual condescending air of Asgardians that seeped from their bones had completely vanished.
“Of course I know, but I also know it’s wrong to define soone entirely based on stereotypes. He might lie a hundred tis, but he could also tell one truth, couldn’t he?”
Tao Yu glanced at the group, making them pause montarily.
The asured Sif stepped forward and said,”Do you honestly think Heimdall is the problem? That’s impossible though…”
“I’ve divined Heimdall before, and there are similarities to the Abyss-infected Big Boss. That’s why I suspect Heimdall really might have an issue… His eyes can see through the Nine Realms, so maybe he saw sothing he shouldn’t have…”
“Oh, now that you ntion it, I rember Heimdall acting strange. Lately, he seems to zone out often and has taken to staring at the roots of the World Tree, gazing into the endless void beneath Asgard.”
Loki recounted Heimdall’s odd behavior and hesitated for a mont before adding,”But it seems he hasn’t started doing this recently—just grown more frequent lately…”
When Loki said this, Sif and the Immortal Palace warriors also froze for a mont, having noticed the sa problem themselves. But whenever they asked Heimdall, he would dazedly reply, “Nothing.”
“It does seem so, and it’s becoming more frequent…”
Sif contemplated briefly and then looked at Thor, who was spinning like magic in two teleportation portals. Turning to Tao Yu, she said,”Could you ask Master Jack to bring Thor down? Actually, even during our attack on the Frost Giants, Heimdall had already started exhibiting these behaviors. Thor should be able to confirm this…”
Tao Yu nodded, moved his fingers slightly, and the spinning portals vanished, leaving Thor looking like he’d just been dragged out of a tumble dryer.
