Chapter 190: 190: Counter-Spying on the Watcher

There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy.

~ William Shakespeare, Hamlet

____

After dying, Asgardian warriors would return to Valhalla, but in their zombie state, they obviously couldn’t rest in peace, so Hillel helped them achieve transcendence.

After finishing all this, Hillel frowned instead.

“Odin didn’t use Gungnir. Where is his weapon?”

What Hillel obtained from the zombies’ brains was only frantic primitive slaughter. Even in the fragmented memory pieces, there was no information about Gungnir.

Hillel looked around.

Right at this moment, layers of bizarre divine power ripples suddenly emerged within the Golden Throne Hall before him.

They were wreathed in green arcs of light.

The originally shattered golden pillars and the corpses all over the floor recovered as before in the blink of an eye.

Odin sat majestically above and sternly rebuked. “Outsider! This is the forbidden zone of Asgard! Retreat quickly, otherwise Asgard’s fury will turn you into…”

“Oh! You’re quite lucky!”

“Out of all Asgard, only you are alive, and you even learned a little trick of magic to shield perception!”

“But unfortunately… you’re a total moron!”

In Hillel’s eyes, a flash of crimson flickered.

This telepathic search wasn’t working. When encountering someone who could use magic to shield it, it wasn’t even worth a single hair of his Omega Effect, which could track down the opponent’s trace from the causal line.

Sure enough.

The illusion instantly collapsed.

Hillel reached out his hand, fingers closed together, turning into invisible psychic energy, and grabbed fiercely straight toward a seemingly empty corner in the void.

Rip!

Loki, who was originally hiding in the dark, was sucked directly into Hillel’s hand from afar, lifted up by the neck.

“This timeline is shattered to pieces. According to the normal trend, you should have been crushed to death by Thanos long ago!”

Hillel sighed with emotion.

In the normal timeline, Odin would have died long ago, otherwise how would Thanos dare to invade Earth? But Hillel had just fought a real, hard battle with Odin, and Thor was even there.

The timeline no longer existed…

Loki was obviously quite lucky. His micro-manipulation of illusions could avoid the zombies’ pursuit and keep him from becoming a walking corpse like Odin and Thor, but at this moment a much more badass existence had arrived.

Because he didn’t sense any magical fluctuations on Hillel, Loki used the illusion to test him out.

Never had he expected that the opponent’s psychic abilities were equally outstanding, able to accurately find his location even within the illusion.

He had even used this trick to fool Thanos!

“You… let me go! I am the second prince of Asgard! I am a god! You filt…” Loki’s face flushed red as he struggled desperately.

Hillel grabbed Loki and slammed him around with loud smacks, just like tossing a piece of scrap linen.

“Kid, are you even worthy of being a god?”

Loki felt this scene was somewhat familiar, as if it had happened before.

“The game of hide-and-seek ends here. Tell me, where is Odin’s Gungnir? Did you steal it, brat? Also, open Asgard’s Royal Treasury, I want to be a little mouse!”

Gungnir, Asgard’s Royal Treasury?

What the hell!

How could this damn foreigner have the exact same goal as him?

As the God of Mischief, Loki of course couldn’t confess obediently. On the surface, he put on a submissive look and pointed to the left.

“It’s… it’s over there… I’ll take you there, don’t kill me…”

Hillel dangled Loki and went in along the direction he pointed.

However, having just walked less than a hundred meters into the secret passage, a magic dagger instantly condensed, attempting to forcefully stab him in the kidney through the gaps in Hillel’s clothes.

“Incorrigible!”

Hillel didn’t even turn his head back. His super senses weren’t just for show. He could even hear Loki rubbing his fingers against his clothes to know what the other party wanted to do.

Hillel swung a hand blade over.

Swish!!!

“Ahhhhhh!! My hand!!”

Viltrumite was inherently brutal by nature. Although Hillel’s growth path was different, he was also someone quick to hurt others when making a move.

Loki’s entire left arm was sliced off cleanly at the root, and large mouthfuls of fresh blood gushed out!

A Frost Giant’s physique was nothing much after all.

Hillel shook off the fresh blood on the base of his palms, looked at Loki expressionlessly, and stepped on him under his foot.

The nerves of that severed arm had not completely died yet, and the fingers were still twitching constantly, like a dead octopus tentacle.

“I don’t like people who think they’re smart. Let me remind you one more time: unless you don’t want to live anymore, you’d better obediently lead the way. If you pull even the slightest stunt again, I’ll extract your brain out to feed the apes? Or keep it in a jar!”

A subtle psychic energy radiated from Hillel’s body, which could easily manipulate Loki’s mind.

But he didn’t plan to do that.

Facing a character who was neither entirely good nor evil, fighting violence with violence would suffice.

“I’ll lead the way! I’ll lead the way right now! The spear is in Odin’s secret room! The storehouse is right below!”

Loki clutched his severed arm, cold sweat and snot smeared all over his face.

This Loki is a bit lame!

The Cinematic Universe’s Loki was at least tough until death. Even the Frost Loki from the What If…? series had its commendable points.

This one was simply scum among scum.

Loki obediently led the way, not even daring to treat his wound, letting the blood drip down.

However, he possessed the Frost Giant bloodline. He wouldn’t miss these couple of pounds of blood.

The two quickly arrived at the deepest part of the temple.

On a huge door cast from countless Uru metals, it was carved all over with the patterns of the world Tree’s divine laws, which Hillel basically couldn’t understand.

However, Loki knew the method to open the door. He cast a few simple magic waves and slowly pushed open the heavy door.

Right in the center.

A spear radiating brilliant divine might all over its body was floating in the void, faintly carrying the fluctuations of Odin’s divine power. However, this weapon had long lost its Master and was vibrating incessantly at this moment.

The Gungnir, Gungnir!

One of the three components of the weapon module.

Hillel grinned and was just about to take a step forward to store this divine spear.

Suddenly.

Within Asgard’s vast void, certain fluctuations that did not belong to this plane began to spread toward the grand hall.

Accompanying them was also a low voice.

It sounded like the gibberish of a thinker, and as illusory as auditory hallucinations, but how sharp Hillel’s senses were! Especially after acquiring the power of the Mind Stone, he was able to perceive certain mystical existences.

For example, Dormammu who stood in the reality plane.

And for example, this sudden voice of contemplation.

“…I have seen a peculiar variable that does not belong to this timeline fork. His data is completely blank, and his past cannot be captured by any historical wavelength.”

“He has displayed brutal lynch law in Asgard… His physical density is undergoing an irregular, massive stellar-level qualitative change, and his existence… has forcefully caused completion and deflection to this zombie Universe that is heading towards demise.”

“On this person, I faintly peeped a trace of Ultron! So… let me deeply decipher his inner world and see what his origin actually is…”

Hillel suddenly turned his head back.

He floated in mid-air like a deity, as if realizing the existence outside the Universe for the first time.

His eyes snapped open, lighting up with ten thousand paths of crimson blood glow.

The Omega Effect.

Peeping at the level of causality, superimpose with the power of the Mind Stone.

Hillel’s gaze tore through the spatial membrane of the single Universe, faintly seeing a bald phantom.

“I see you!”
