Chapter 356: S:Glorious Big Event (XXXVI)

In front of the French windows of Arkham Sanatorium, Schiller put on his goggles and looked at the star that suddenly flashed in the sky. Strange squinted his eyes and also looked up at the sky, saying, "Has she ascended?"

Schiller shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on her own choice."

"This is a kind of opportunistic way, with only a status but no power. If there is any special ability, it is probably immortality."

"To be honest, I don't understand the principle here..."

"You don't need to understand, you just need to know that this state can only be maintained for a period of time. Once one of the relationships within it disappears, the status will naturally decline."

"Why did you want her to ascend at that moment?"

"If you can't finish your homework, wouldn't you want to take a look at the answer?"

Strange had no argument, and Schiller sighed and said, "If you can't take a look at the answer, the dilemma of Asgard is almost unsolvable. Even if you see the answer, how to copy it without any flaws is also a problem."

"Odin has too many concerns, Thor has a mission and the ability to answer, only Loki is left. What she can do and whether she can reverse the inevitable fate of Asgard will be known at the moment of closing the book..."

On the square in front of the gate of Asgard Palace, Thor stood among the people of Asgard, beautiful magic light points floating around the fountain, colorful flowers and sweet and clear spring water were brought up and placed in front of Thor.

Odin stood beside him, raised the hand holding his spear, and between a thunderbolt, a crown slowly descended onto Thor's head. The crowd below erupted in cheers, and the whole Asgard was boiling. They shouted, "New king!"

At this moment, Thor no longer had a proud expression. He turned around, bowed his head and touched his shoulder, and saluted Odin. After Odin turned into a thunderbolt and left, Thor turned his head and looked at the corridor of the palace next to him, as if looking for something.

Seeing that Loki did not appear, Thor's gaze was somewhat disappointed. He sighed, but said nothing.Finnd new chapters at novelhall.com

Suddenly, a black shadow flashed past the other end of the corridor. Thor turned his head and saw Loki leaning against the wall with his arms crossed, snapping his fingers at him, and then his figure disappeared and reappeared in the other end of the corridor.

Loki, who had already returned to his male form, had a sly smile unique to the god of deception on his face, just like the pranks he had done before. This was just a joke that had nothing to do with the coronation ceremony, at least that's how Thor saw it.

But many people in Asgard complained. They thought Loki was a white-eyed wolf. On such an important day for Thor, his own brother did not show up, and it was a waste of Thor's usual kindness to Loki.

Standing at the highest point, Thor took in everyone's expressions. He recalled the conversation he had with Loki on the clock tower last night in the evening breeze.

"Why did you give up on ascending? Don't you know that this is a great opportunity? You can become a being above Space, almost omniscient!" Thor walked to Loki with his weapon, very puzzled.

Loki shook his head and said, "You always think about problems so simply. If this can solve Asgard's problems, do you think the father of the gods can't do it? Extract all the energy of the nine realms, combine them into one, and he can also become a being above Space..."

"But this is an opportunity for you." Thor earnestly advised, "Your physical condition is not that good, and you have lost your divine power and divine position before. If you can ascend directly, wouldn't that solve these problems directly?"

"When I was ostracized because I couldn't get along with others, did I try to make myself like you guys by any means?" Loki showed a mocking expression and said, "No, I am not like you. I am not a poor creature who cannot live without honor and a sense of mission."

"I don't need to live in an environment where everyone praises me, and I don't need someone to ask me how I'm doing every day and act considerately. I know they have ulterior motives..."

Thor turned around and looked into the distance between the pillars of the clock tower.

Asgard is a floating island in the dark Space, so its sunset is particularly short-lived. This magnificent brilliance itself is the best scenery. Thor asked, "I think you should have seen something, so you didn't choose this path..."

"As long as you attach it to the tip of the umbrella, it will extend a sensing device through the umbrella tube. You just need to gently squeeze the handle to launch an ice bullet."

"This... " Steve looked at the thing and said, "I can understand you adding a winter and summer air conditioner to the umbrella, but adding a nanoscale super freezing gun to it seems a bit..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Schiller had already walked over with the umbrella and said, "Come on, let's try it on. Peter, I really like this gift. You're much better than someone who just gave me an apple pie..."

As he spoke, his eyes kept glancing at Steve. Just then, the sound of the mech's clacking and jetting came, and Stark landed outside the balcony with snowflakes on him. He said, "Why are you only coming now? We've already exchanged gifts."

"Something came up with the mutants. They've set up their own lab and want me to give them some technical guidance."

"How are they doing?"

"What else can they do? They're celebrating the festival just like us. They keep saying that mutants are not ordinary humans, but when it comes to Christmas, they're still buying decorations to hang on the Christmas tree and making the classroom look fancy..."

In the Xavier School for Gifted Youngsters, Polaris picked up her backpack and walked out of the classroom, meeting Charles who was heading towards the classroom. Charles smiled and nodded at her, "Oh, Lorna, are you leaving? Say hello to your father for me."

"Oh, yes, Merry Christmas, Professor." Polaris seemed a little distracted, but Professor Charles didn't mind and said to her, "Merry Christmas, Lorna."

Polaris hurriedly left the school and returned to her room at the Brotherhood of Mutants base. When she opened her backpack, she took out a red gift box with a dark green ribbon tied around it.

Polaris lifted a corner of the gift box and found a reindeer sweater inside.

She took a deep breath and whispered, "Why do I want to give Magneto a gift? He's Magneto..."

She paced around the room with the gift box, talking to the air at times, and fiddling with the ribbon at other times...

Polaris had a very complex expression, seemingly resentful, regretful, fearful, and conflicted. Suddenly, she showed a thoughtful expression, as if she had made up her mind.

In another room not far away, Magneto Erik changed out of his black armor and hung his cloak on the wardrobe. He was wearing a striped sweater that was as common as it could be. The electromagnetic force around him made the fluff on the sweater stand up straight, making him look like a hedgehog.

Erik sat on the piano bench, leaning against the backrest, squinting his eyes, as if dozing off.

On the piano in front of him, small planets floated above the keys.

As the planets fell, the familiar sound of bells rang through the keys. The monosyllabic melody sounded a bit lonely, but it became the best lullaby.

Erik closed his eyes, and as his breathing became heavier, the magnetic force that surrounded him dissipated. The upright fluff smoothed down.

After the Christmas Eve bells rang, those small celestial bodies surrounded him, as if celebrating the holiday with him, and as if weaving a cradle for a sleeping child.

When the starlight went out, Erik fell asleep.

Therefore, he did not see the window open, and a red gift box with a deep green ribbon flew in. The words on the note were clearly visible in the moonlight - "Merry Christmas - Professor X."
