Azmond's interest piqued at Loki's words, but his excitement was dashed when Loki delivered the next blow.
"Unfortunately, that's all you need to know for now. You're not strong enough to handle any more. Delving any further could put you in grave danger." Loki's tone remained flat as he spoke.
He wasn't playing around with him when he spoke such words. He truly meant what he said and it would be an almost guaranteed fact that he would die if he told him anymore.
There were things in the vast and expansive universe beyond that just couldn't be disclosed whenever one felt like it
This was one of those things
....
The earnest voice of Loki utterly crushed Azmond's expectations
He couldn't believe he got his hopes up, only for them to be crushed as soon as they sprouted up
"Don't give me that disappointed look. I can still inform you of one more thing that I think you will be extremely interested in." The sinister side of Loki showed itself in full when he saw the distraught countenance of Azmond.
However, it quickly dispersed when he figured he should conclude this discussion sometime soon.
A slight hint of expectation filled Azmond's heart as he believed the blonde pervert wasn't cruel enough to leave him on the edge yet again Right?
"..." His faith in humanity had reached an all time low after being let down so many times. But, luckily or unluckily in his case. Loki was no human
The sly god was aware of the fluctuating emotions of the downcast mortal. And, he really wanted to mess with him even more as revenge for his flippant remarks earlier.
However, he knew that he didn't have much time left
.....
"The clock is ticking down and we are running out of time, Azmond. You need to know the next piece of information before you're forcefully extracted from this place against your will." An air of severity pervaded the atmosphere as Loki's mildly playful look morphed into a solemn one.
Azmond was bewildered by the abrupt change in temperament of the blonde pervert. However, he knew this was no time to play around. Loki's aura indicated that he was not joking with him.
'What does he mean by getting extracted out of this place against my will?' He thought to himself with a perplexed expression.
"I know you must be curious about what I mean by your release from this place, but that would take too long to explain. For now, you just need to know that you have already overstayed your welcome. And, this pocket dimensions defense mechanisms will activate if you stay here any longer."
"Furthermore, in case you were wondering about whether or not you could survive a bombardment from this pocket dimension. You need not dwell on that futile subject any further. For, you shall die upon the activation process concluded.
There is not a doubt within my mind on that irrefutable fact," Loki said with a grave tone.
He may be a big ol jokester 99% of the time, but this was not one of those times
He couldn't be any more serious when speaking of such a precarious topic.
Azmond realized that as well, and Loki was right about him brooding over whether or not he could survive the attacks of this mysterious dimension. And, he got his confirmation, that's for sure.
"Let me first explain to you what me and Thor are doing here."
Azmond finally learned the name of the big red giant. He was left a little astonished over both of them being named after Norse Gods.
His first natural assumption when he heard Loki's name was that it was little more than a coincidence that he had a name synonymous to that of the sly god in Norse Mythology. But, now he was certain that there was something more to Loki and Thor's backgrounds than what is seen
'Are they like the real deal?? Like the genuine articles in Norse Mythology?? Are they what the stories on Thor and Loki were based on??? Or am I just getting a little ahead of myself with overthinking things?' The inner thoughts of Azmond were getting a little chaotic.
He found it impossible that the blonde and red perverts could actually be real Norse Gods, or some aberrant variations of them
However, his thoughts were swiftly interrupted by Loki's solemn voice. He snapped out of reverie and refocused his attention back on the blond pervert's ongoing monologue.
"We are similar to being the watchdogs that keep an eye out on all the things that occur within this pocket dimension, or the sea dimension that lay below. Myself and Thor are on our shift right now, which is why we're here"
"We have been on shift for millions of years, and we will continue keeping watch here for millions more.
You are probably wondering why beings as superior as myself, and I guess that block head brother of mineWhy beings such as us are stationed in some rundown dimension that wanders between the emptiness of the void." He began with an arrogant smirk.
"And, you would be right in analyzing that possibility as being the actuality of this situation. We are here because it was simply our turn to watch over Boundless Restoration."
'Boundless Restoration?!? You are telling me that two beings nearing the Apex of existence are left stranded in a boundless empty dimension for millions of years because of a simple technique?!?' Azmond was left more than a little baffled at this new revelation.
'There must be something beyond my comprehension that is hidden with the thin pages of the simple yet complex healing book. A book that currently resides in close proximity to my dantian space.' He entered a deep state of reflection, as he carefully inspected the simple yet abstruse book within him.
A book that had a funny chicken embedded on the front of it. A chicken that he was just now beginning to unravel the mysteries of
