Chapter 166 Loki Meets the Three Goddesses of Fate
Clark gradually sank, his lungs running out of air, his body eroded by the cold.
A strong acid like stomach acid suddenly rushed into Clark's chest and into his mouth. He felt vomit and mud, and then came the picture of sugar dissolving like being poured into hot coffee.
Just when Clark thought he was going to be swallowed by the river, a dazzling white light illuminated his eyes.
Along with the white light came a pair of warm hands.
"Snap!"
The warm hands grabbed him and pulled him up.
Clark looked at the hands in disbelief, until he saw the owner of the hands - the Godfather.
Peter pulled Clark and Eric out of the river and put them on the river bank.
Clark, lying on the ground, gasping for breath, looked at the black clouds above his head.
The towering trees on the river bank in the past disappeared, replaced by a rugged river bank covered with green grass.
The Susquehanna River above it sometimes rolls and sometimes calms, and the waters of Ovaltine gurgle and surge forward.
Everything gives Clark a different feeling from usual, he can feel the joy of life.
"You are too messy, Clark, you are no longer Superman, why do you still want to save people?"
Peter looked at Clark lying on the river bank and gasping for breath, frowned and asked him.
"Godfather, I... I think, if I want to pursue some truth, even if I have no power, it will not affect it."
Clark looked at Peter gratefully, "Thank you, Godfather, thank you for saving me."
He couldn't remember how many times the Godfather had saved him.
"Bang!"
Clark's voice fell, and Zu fell from the sky.
Looking at Clark and Eric who were embarrassed at the scene, and then looking at Peter with a serious expression, Zu stood aside with a guilty conscience and didn't speak.
It seems that he was a little heavy?
Looking at Zu with an expression of admitting his mistake, Peter ignored him.
This guy probably saw Star-Lord being bullied, so he came to deal with Eric.
Although the mentality of protecting his brother is worthy of encouragement, he was too harsh.
If Eric was killed directly, wouldn't Clark's ability be temporarily unavailable?
"Ahem.!"
Lying on the ground, Eric spit out a mouthful of water and groaned in pain.
Turning over, his weak body looked at Clark.
"I'm sorry, Clark!"
With a weak voice, Eric apologized to Clark with a guilty look.
When he fell to the bottom of the river, his body gradually became weak and he saw Clark desperately coming down to save me.
"I'm sorry, Clark, I lost myself, I will give you the power back."
After saying a few words, Eric was out of breath and lay down weakly.
Realizing his ridiculous behavior, he now had completely lost his desire for power. The only thing he wanted to do was to return the power to Clark and stay as far away from the monster John as possible.
Clark sat up, put on the clothes Peter gave him, and said frustratedly: "No, it may not be done now, that requires lightning."
"That's not something that can't be done."
Peter said to the frustrated Clark: "Clark, hold the kryptonite and hold Eric's hand."
Peter threw a piece of kryptonite at Clark.
He prepared a lot of this stuff, and after hearing the loud noise coming from this side, he rushed over with a piece of kryptonite.
Seeing the kryptonite thrown by Peter, Clark subconsciously wanted to dodge.
But in a moment, he thought that he had become an ordinary person, so he carefully caught the green kryptonite.
After holding Eric's hand, he looked at Peter, wanting to see what the Godfather would do.
The result was the same as A-Zu, the "0 frame starter" Godfather waved his hand and a lightning bolt struck him.
Frightened Clark hurriedly wanted to retreat, but he was already an ordinary person, how could he be faster than lightning, and was directly struck.
"Ah!"
Clark screamed, and suddenly felt a pain attacking his whole body.
At the same time, the green kryptonite in his hand also emitted a dazzling white light.
Lightning lingered around the two people, and the arc made a "crackling" sound in the air!
The two people who were electrocuted fell to the ground shaking, and trembled from time to time.
After the lightning dissipated, Peter walked to Clark and pulled him up.
"How is it? Clark, are you recovered?"
Clark shook his head, stretched out his hand, which was a little confused by the electric shock, and then held it.
Feeling the sense of power coming from his body, Clark nodded, "Yes, Godfather, we are back."
A Zu next to him breathed a sigh of relief when he heard Clark say that his ability was restored.
Fortunately, he did not beat Eric to death.
Half an hour later.
The ambulance and police car arrived and sent the unconscious Eric to the ambulance.
"Godfather, what will happen to Eric?"
"I don't know, don't worry about him, they had problems before they had superpowers."
Peter said to Clark while looking at the ambulance.
"Sometimes, extraordinary power can indeed make us lose our way, but Godfather, I will never be like him."
Peter raised his eyebrows and asked Clark, "Why?"
"Because Eric doesn't have my two greatest gifts - you and my parents."
Peter patted Clark's shoulder and said nothing.
Looking at Azu next to him, he shouted to him, "We have to go, John."
Hearing Peter calling him, Azu immediately followed, "Okay, Dad."
"Ahem."
While Clark was talking to his parents, Azu whispered to Peter, "Dad, I'm the same as Clark."
"What's the same?"
"You are also my best gift."
Azu said something that stunned Peter.
Doesn't this kid know that the first one to flatter is the most effective, and the effect of the latter is greatly weakened?
"Uh-huh, John, if you tell me before you act next time, I think I will be happier."
"Sorry, Dad, I shouldn't be so impulsive."
Azu apologized to him.
"You came here because Star-Lord was hurt, right?"
"No, Dad, I just..."
Azu thought about it, but couldn't find a suitable excuse for a long time.
"Anyway, John, your starting point is good, you can be regarded as a real hero this time."
Peter patted his shoulder, "Okay, let's go."
Azu nodded, and his mood unconsciously improved.
The next day, early in the morning.
He had just finished breakfast when he received a call from Officer Ryan.
"Good morning, Peter."
"Good morning, Officer Ryan."
Peter asked him, "I guess you have some news to tell me, right?"
"Yes, the FBI that was investigating in Smallville is gone. Their leader has broken several ribs and needs to stay in the hospital for two days."
Ryan said gloatingly, "I told them to be careful. There are many dangerous things in this town."
Peter nodded and asked him, "Is Eric awake?"
"He woke up, but told the police and agents that he didn't remember anything before. In addition, his superpowers as a 'superboy' have disappeared, and he has become an ordinary person again. It's a happy ending, isn't it?"
Peter moved his eyebrows and said to him, "But I heard that he smashed all the police cars in your police station."
"Ahem."
Ryan coughed, "It's a small problem. That's the problem that the director should be worried about."
After chatting with him for a few words, Peter looked at Loki who was sitting on the sofa next to him.
This kid has been relatively quiet recently.
He used to cause trouble for himself from time to time, but has he changed now?
"Loki, what are you busy with recently?"
Peter asked him.
"Nothing, I'm watching some magic."
Loki said that he was diligent and studious.
Studying?
Peter looked at him with suspicion.
Is this kid secretly preparing some big moves?
Late at night.
After Loki fell asleep, he soon entered the dream world.
In a dense mist, he found himself standing in front of the world tree in the courtyard.
The world tree exuded a white halo, as if waiting for him to come.
Curious Loki walked forward and touched the world tree with his hand.
He knew that the world tree had a very important connection with him, but he didn't expect that the world tree could also be called in the dream world.
The moment he touched the world tree, Loki was pulled into a closed space.
Thousands of silk threads hung in the space, swaying gently in the wind, as if leading to countless possible futures.
"Three goddesses of Norn, welcome, son of Peter Padrick."
An old voice came into his ears.
When Loki heard the other party say "Three goddesses of Norn", he was stunned.
The world tree gave birth to the three goddesses of fate?
Loki knew that the mature world tree had three goddesses of fate.
They are Urd, Vildanti and Shikoti, representing the past, present and future respectively.
The three goddesses of fate, also known as the three goddesses of Norn, not only control the fate of mankind, but also predict the fate of gods, symbolizing the supreme power of fate in Norse mythology.
The work of these three sisters is above everything, even gods and demons cannot control it, symbolizing the worldview that fate dominates everything, even gods and demons are no exception.
They live at the root of the world tree-Yggdrasil, at the Fountain of Destiny, weaving the fate, life and death, and fortune and disaster of humans and gods.
The eldest daughter Urd, in charge of "the past", her name means "the past", and she is also called the goddess of death.
The second daughter, Verdandi, governs the "present", symbolizing the current reality and existence.
The youngest daughter, Shikoti, governs the "future", representing the unknown and possibilities.
"Are you the three goddesses of fate?"
Loki said in disbelief.
"You have seen it, we are here, connected by fate."
The old female voice said.
"Hehe!"
A girl who looked young and elegant, with a mysterious aura all over her body, giggled and ran past Loki, then disappeared in the silk thread.
