Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

[Lucifer]: "_" be honest. You\'re just indirectly saying I\'m not as smart and talented as you, aren\'t you?

Lucifer honestly felt like strangling this friend of his to death.

When they were in the heavens, this guy would always play pranks on him and others. What was so annoying was that he was so good at what he did.

To this very day, none of them knew how he moved or did the things he did. And quite honestly, he also started to believe that even the Almighty might not know.

Or else, how could this guy be left to cause so much trifle like this?

Even the more prominent gods and fairies fell prey to Loki\'s schemes.

The guy might be thin and weak looking, but his mind was one of the sharpest ever.

No matter what system was put in place, Loki could find loopholes in seconds.

But finding and using these loopholes were different matters altogether.

.

,m Loki was a strange one.

He could clearly use so many loopholes to his advantage. But choose not to, taking the hardest, most chaotic, and dramatic way ever to achieve his goal.

In the end, if something was too easy or not entertaining enough, Loki would spice it up to his liking.

And though he called Loki \'friend,\' Lucifer knew that this guy could watch him fall with a smile on his face.

Loki was only friends with himself, and everyone else was a pawn to his amusement.

It\'s likely that he only helped Lucifer and the rest because he wanted to see the big battle unfold.

The heavens guarded against him and even those in the Underworld guarded against him.

Loki could help or stab one anyway, anytime, depending on his mood.

Honestly, he was one of the scariest beings Lucifer had ever seen.

Loki\'s main powers were shapeshifting and fire, hence his fiery hair.

These were good and all.

But to Lucifer and many, what made him scary was his mind and not his actual strength.

Loki has done quite a lot yet was hardly punished.

Lucifer also felt that even the Almighty knew that if he sent Loki to the Underworld, things would go upside down.

It was probably why they kept him in the heavens where they could see him.

His punishment was to be locked up in certain places that trapped him there for thousands and thousands of years until the time was up.

It was funny because those places were now like second homes to Loki.

He was a lesser God, yet he had managed to crack the code for a few of these places.

And sure enough, whenever he did this, he would sneak out of the heavens and return before they noticed.

.

At present, Loki should be locked up.

Yet, here he was, smiling like a \'fool\' with a harmless expression.

Time here was way faster than in the heavens, giving Loki some playing time.

But unfortunately, it would never be more than 3 hours in the mortal realm.

Why?

Because this was the furthest code, he cracked.

Before, he could only flee to the mortal realm for 10 minutes. But now, he could stay here for 3 hours.

Hehehhehe~

In every prison they placed Loki in, he kept escaping and cracking the codes and restraints.

This was also why his holding place was changed now and then after various punishments.

He was giving the heavens all the headache they could get.

What\'s more, he was indirectly involved with the big battle against the almighty that pushed Lucifer into the underworld. Yet he was left unaffected except for being held in a holding place.

Typically, punishments in the heavens were also harsher than what Loki went through.

Some received thousands and millions of bolts from the almighty; others passed through a millennium of deadly punishments, etc.

But with Loki, if you give him any harsher forms of punishment, one could unleash the beast in him.

If he got filled with rage, hate, and all sorts of emotions, you best believe he would be a supervillain.

That\'s why they threaded on thin lines when dealing with Loki.

Tsk.

To think that this lesser God was more intimidating than many more prominent established gods.

.

Lucifer looked at Loki\'s harmless smile in silence.

He didn\'t trust this friend of his one bit!

But what could he do? Even if he tried to hide information away from Loki, the guy always seemed to have a way of knowing every little secret. So one has no choice but to act cordially with the troublemaker.

"Old friend, shouldn\'t you be leaving?"

Didn\'t this bastard already say that he had to leave before the heavens found him out?

Loki vanished and appeared sitting on a massive rock a few steps away.

Why not just walk over there? What\'s with the show and tell?

Loki\'s smile grew even broader than before.

"I just remembered something. Not too long ago, your darling twin brother visited me at my holding."

Boom!

Lucifer\'s body froze. And almost impediment, a thick murderous aura floated out.

"You saw him?"

"Hmhm... He still looks just like you, except for his blond hair and beautiful feathered wings. It\'s so cute how he always lectures me to change. Ah-... But don\'t worry, I didn\'t tell him about your plans. So... quench that aura of yours... Friend."

Loki also unleashed his aura before suddenly withdrawing it and laughing sheepishly.

Bastard!

Lucifer was almost going insane, inwardly hoping that Loki didn\'t say a word.

As he said, Loki was no one\'s FRIEND!

His only guarantee was that Loki wanted to see the big war unfold.

So he was 90% sure that Loki won\'t say a thing.

But there was still that 10% uncertainty that always kept him on edge.

Lucifer\'s eyes turned cold. "For our friendship\'s sake, I hope you\'re telling the truth!"

"Naturally... friend."
