"How is it?"

God knows how Loki found out.

Hanlu looked at the guy who had quietly slipped up to her side without her noticing, nodded slightly, and kept her gaze fixed on the battlefield in the distance that was torn apart by lightning and green light.

"Hmm, it's pretty good."

He paused, then a smug smile slowly spread across his face. "It's just a main universe, and I'm doing great right now."

Look at this huge event before us, I started it all by myself.

Loki turned his head and stared straight at him with his green eyes.

There was no surprise, no admiration, not even a trace of positive emotion in his eyes—

There was only a naked disdain, as if looking at an idiot.

Just like the expression he usually gives when he looks at his reckless older brother, only now it's three times stronger.

Seeing this obviously unreliable guy openly boasting about instigating this major event, Loki really couldn't understand what state the other guy was in right now.

He tilted his head, his lips slightly pursed, his expression clearly saying, "Are you serious?"

"Do you really think I haven't read the script?" Loki said slowly.

"Holy crap—" Han Lu's smile froze for a moment, then her eyes widened. "Are you cheating? Are you the story god of the main universe, or the story god of the MCU universe?"

Loki chuckled.

The laughter wasn't loud; it rolled out from deep in his throat, carrying a kind of irritating composure.

He reached out and slowly adjusted the cuffs of his suit, then looked up at Hanlu with those half-smiling eyes.

"Guess?"

Although he didn't know why this clone from Hanlu was causing such a major incident in the main universe, he was certain that the other party must have its reasons.

After all, that mechanical giant wouldn't waste any meaningless things here.

Unfortunately, having lost the platform and power provided by the God of the Multiverse and the God of Stories, he is now unable to obtain any more information.

He can only rely on his years of accumulated knowledge to deduce what the other party will do next.

Hanlu, seemingly oblivious to Loki's silence, took a half-step forward, lowered her voice, and said in a tone reminiscent of a merchant hawking his wares, "There's no other way—"

If you give me some advice, since I haven't been taken advantage of before, maybe I can beg you to help me out—

My concept exists in every universe; then everything will be much easier to solve, don't you think?

Loki continued to stare with his dead fish eyes at the shameless guy in front of him.

Do you even know what the concept of "civilization" means? And you want me to spread this concept throughout the entire multiverse for you?

His fingers unconsciously tapped his thigh as his mind raced.

As is well known, conceptual deities rely entirely on their proportion of influence in each universe to evaluate their strength.

There's not much to say about the infinity and eternity that time and space represent.

As the two most fundamental concepts, their power is almost at the pinnacle of the multiverse.

It can be said that within this universe, one could easily take on multiple multiverses.

As for death, it is equally crucial.

Although this woman is indeed terrible, and she gets humiliated by others every now and then, theoretically speaking, the other party is also a super god of the multiverse.

Then there's Galactus.

Don't let our shameful appearance fool you; we Galactus still stand by what we said—

Even a well-fed planet devourer is still quite terrifying.

It represents the devouring and annihilation in the universe, and can even be compared to the law of entropy increase to some extent.

The other party is also a crucial part of the universe, and when well-fed, could even be considered the second-in-command among the creator gods.

As for the eldest brother—

Annihilation, let alone.

The opposite of the entire multiverse is almost the opposite of "existence," representing absolute "nothingness."

It is through this concept that its entire body rests upon the entire multiverse.

The increase in the power of almost any creator god will lead to an increase in the power of the other god, truly a case of the left foot stepping on the right.

This has led to the creator god being an unparalleled and powerful being among all the gods, because of the annihilation, a super-cosmic being.

Loki's eyes flickered slightly.

if--

If we were to unleash the concept of "civilization" and bind it to the entire multiverse—

Loki had no doubt that the other party could also instantly cross his multiverse threshold and jump directly to the super-universe level.

It's important to understand that civilization is practically intertwined with all life and living things.

In some ways, it is even more important than time and space.

Even death, strictly speaking, is an appendage of civilization.

After all—you don't even have a life left, so what right do you have to die?

Loki even had a vague suspicion that if he actually dared to do it and succeeded, the opponent's strength would definitely be at least at the supercosmic level.

In addition, there's his own strange summoning ability.

He could casually conjure up a whole bunch of top-tier powerhouses one level below him—

Oh my god.

Loki's fingers stopped.

It can only be said that no one understands the ambitions in Hanlu's heart yet.

Although this ambition is absurd and ridiculous, it's better than not wanting anything at all, isn't it?

Unfortunately, dreams are beautiful, but reality is cruel.

"Don't tell me I'm no longer the god of stories."

Loki withdrew his gaze, his voice as calm as if stating a fact unrelated to himself, "Even if I were still, I couldn't do it."

At most, I can only scatter your concepts into the MCU universe, and at most, superimpose them onto the post-apocalyptic universe you currently control.

But even then, you can only be considered diverse, at best a slightly stronger form of diversity.

Loki had no intention of mocking him; he simply and openly admitted that he was no good.

Similarly, you can't either.

You only have this possibility—

Just as countless Uranus could potentially become new eternity, becoming the concrete ruler of time, this is only a possibility.

There are people in high places.

Similarly, if Hanlu dared to flaunt her ambitions, it would surely attract the attention of countless gods.

Nobody wants to have an older brother on their head.

Especially death, it's highly likely that it will be a one-on-one duel with Hanlu.

The good news is that even if Annihilation understands all of this, as the leader of the creator gods, he would probably be happy to see it happen.

After all, even if there truly is a god of civilization bound to the entire concept of "existence," then while driving the power of the entire multiverse to great heights, he himself would also become more powerful—

It is certainly willing to accept all of this.

However, there are many things that the Cold Dew solar term did not explain clearly.

He had been guessing—

If I consider a civilization like the Creator God to be a civilization, then wouldn't I be able to ascend to heaven with my left foot on my right?

You know what, it's impossible.

It's important to understand that the Celestials roam freely throughout the multiverse, and given the possibility of future conceptual changes, they've clearly defined boundaries regarding the degree of transcendence in order to continuously create new life.

And new life represents a new civilization.

If things really continue to develop in this way, then Hanlu feels that she might need to compete with a certain bartender for the absolute position in the future.

After all, the Celestials have been turned into mere laborers by themselves—a sure-fire way to make a profit.

"Forget it, forget it." Hanlu suddenly waved her hand, as if throwing all those grand ideas in her mind aside. "Let's keep watching. The future is bright, but the present is cruel—we need to figure out a way to deal with the giant snake Kur."

Loki turned his head and looked at the person in front of him who had suddenly become serious, his eyes staring straight at the other person.

Are you sure you have the nerve to say that?

If he's not mistaken—

This giant snake, Kur, isn't it you who released it?

His eyebrows slowly rose, and the curve of his lips was meaningful.

But Hanlu waved her hand without any hesitation, as if shooing away an annoying fly.

He wore a bright, almost irritating smile, his teeth gleaming white in the flashes of the explosion.

"Seriously, no need to praise me, I know how awesome I am."

Loki opened his mouth, then closed it again.

He took a deep breath, slowly exhaled, then turned back to look at the distant sky torn apart by lightning and green light.

The battle between the three Thors and the god of fear has reached a fever pitch; every collision shakes the earth, and every roar causes the clouds to churn.

"You know what," Loki finally spoke after a long silence, his voice as soft as a sigh, "sometimes I'm really curious where your confidence comes from."

"It's innate," Hanlu answered without hesitation.

Loki didn't say anything more.

He simply shook his head slightly, but the ambiguous smile on his lips never disappeared.

The wind was strong on the ruins, making the hems of their clothes flutter loudly.

Another earth-shattering explosion rang out in the distance, the green smoke of terror and the white lightning intertwining like a blooming flower of death.

Hanlu put her hands in her pockets and squinted at the flower.

Loki stood half a step away from him, as quiet as a statue.

Neither of them tacitly brought up the topic of "civilization" again.

But that thought—like a seed—had already taken root in the soil.

It is waiting, waiting for the right moment, to take root, to sprout, and then to grow into a towering tree that can cover the entire multiverse.

As for now—

Hanlu pulled a bag of snacks out of her pocket, unsure when she had taken them out, tore open the packaging, and popped a piece into her mouth.

"Click-clack".

He chewed it with relish.

Loki glanced at him sideways, his green eyes filled with the question, "Why should I cooperate with someone like this?"

Hanlu noticed his gaze and held up the bag of snacks in her hand: "Want some?"

Loki turned back without answering.

In the distance, Thor from the main universe was once again sent flying by the giant serpent.
