All Gods: I Became a God by Loading Templates

Loki had a string of curses in his mind, but intimidated by Lin Bei's strength, he kept quiet.

He figured it out: Lin Bei had trapped him in the arena, seemingly because he had walked right into a trap and fallen for Thor's treacherous scheme of sharing his misfortune.

But in reality, even without Thor's sweet talk, Lin Bei would have found a reason to lock him up.

For no other reason than the throne of the Lord of the Celestial Palace.

He owed his success to the emperor, plus the favor of his own father.

It's difficult for me to even go out.

Overwhelmed with sorrow, Loki realized how cruel the competition for the throne truly was.

It's so different from how it's portrayed in TV dramas. Where's the cunning green beans I was promised?

Lin Bei looked at Loki with an expression as if he were looking at an idiot. With his mastery of mind magic, Lin Bei could see through Loki's mental constructs at a glance.

And isn't this a bit disrespectful to oneself?

Even while fighting against myself, I still dared to daydream and think about those baseless things.

Lin Bei immediately bent down and accelerated, rushing forward and punching Loki directly in the stomach.

Loki, still reeling, was sent flying and crashed headfirst into the high wall at the edge of the arena.

This punch also woke Loki up.

Hearing the whooshing sound, without thinking, he performed a split on the spot and narrowly dodged the attack.

A greatsword, blazing with white flames, plunged straight into the ground, embedding most of its blade.

She was just a tiny bit away from becoming the second princess.

His eyelids twitched as he read this; the competition for the throne was far more brutal and real than he had imagined.

Not only are they imprisoning themselves here, but now they're also going to kill them to prevent future troubles.

It has to be said that Loki's wild imagination improved Lin Bei's mood considerably.

However, given the difference in strength, Lin Bei was genuinely afraid that he might accidentally kill Loki.

However, I seem to have the Time Stone, so I should be able to give Loki a final burst of energy before he dies.

Seeing that Lin Bei made no further moves, Loki quickly stepped aside and drew his dagger.

His eyes darted around a few times.

He also understood the gap between himself and the Supreme Master, and that hiding was useless.

He rushed towards Lin Bei, and in the process of sprinting, his figure flashed continuously, splitting and replicating into dozens of clones, each alternating between illusion and reality, making it difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake.

It has to be said that although being beaten up these days has been very painful, my combat experience has been increasing rapidly, and even my illusion magic has made great progress.

Lin Bei seemed to be deep in thought.

Upon seeing this, Loki instantly felt that there was hope.

Defeating the Sorcerer Supreme and becoming famous is a bit of a fantasy.

But it's not bad to broaden the horizons of our Supreme Master; it's quite practical.

That's when.

"boom!!!"

The greatsword, piercing the ground, exploded with a loud bang, instantly turning into thick fog that dispersed, revealing pairs of large hands hidden within.

From the elevated stands on the sidelines, the Hydra warriors could only see a churning ocean of thick fog.

All that could be heard was the sound of fists landing solidly.

When the thick fog dissipated, Loki was lying face down on the ground, letting the healing green light illuminate his forehead, making it appear emerald green, but he refused to get up.

"Oh dear, what happened?"

Lin Bei pretended to be somewhat surprised as he looked at Loki.

He raised his hand and waved it, and a red chain materialized in mid-air, dragging Loki by his feet and suspending him in mid-air.

Loki gripped his dagger tightly, staring blankly into space.

As it turns out, the Sorcerer Supreme was indeed very powerful; even if you were distracted, he couldn't defeat you.

Lin Bei asked, "Loki, I heard you call yourself the number one assassin in the Nine Realms, is that true?"

"no!"

Loki shook his head: "I'm a mage, I fight with magic, I've never been an assassin."

"It's all the same. Whether you're a mage or an assassin, you've gone astray."

Lin Bei spread his hands, and the energy in his body condensed directly into two daggers on his palms.

The winding blade resembles a venomous snake poised to strike.

"Now, let me tell you how a true mage should fight."

Loki's eyelids twitched slightly. If you want to punch someone, just say so. Why come up with these easily refuted reasons? Is it interesting?

"Loki, savor it."

If you haven't learned it yet, I can teach you a few more times.

As Lin Bei spoke, he raised his two daggers, crossed them in front of his chest, and took a deep breath.

As he stomped his foot on the ground, the energy within his body exploded instantly.

A shockwave was generated and slammed directly towards Loki.

At the same time, he swung the dagger in his hand repeatedly, each swing creating a sharp blade of air that cleaved the arena floor into thousands of pieces.

The soil collapsed, and rock layers were bounced up one after another by the boiling energy.

Loki desperately dodged the chaotic air blades while also watching his step.

Loki staggered and nearly fell, but fortunately, as a sorcerer, he also possessed magic power. He channeled his magic into his feet, constantly absorbing the flying stones, which prevented him from plunging headfirst into the crevice.

However, small cuts were still made on her body.

"Swipe!"

A whooshing sound came from behind.

Two daggers flew rapidly toward him.

Loki's pupils contracted sharply, his body arched backward and twisted, watching as two daggers grazed past his waist.

The gust of wind from the dagger stung my face.

And just as he looked up at the sky...

The arm that was about to pass by suddenly stopped.

A dark shadow was rapidly approaching his face.

Strong, powerful arms gripped his neck tightly.

Loki felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if he was experiencing insufficient blood flow to his brain.

Immediately afterwards, I felt my legs being grabbed by a pair of large hands, squeezing them so hard that my bones felt like they were about to crack.

Then the person appeared in mid-air.

"Boom! Boom! Boom...!"

The continuous roaring sounds rang out again.

Some things are destined and beyond human control. Even if Loki hadn't led the Chitauri to invade Earth, this set of blind slamming would still have been his.

These few swings left Lin Bei feeling refreshed and invigorated, as if his entire being had been fulfilled.

He casually tossed the limp and powerless Loki onto the ground.

Then he clapped his hands and said earnestly, "Well, have you learned the mage's fighting style?"

Loki was completely stunned.

His eyes stared blankly at the sky, as if he could vaguely see a river, and on the other side of the river, a row of frost giants were waving at him.

Lin Bei's words immediately brought Loki back to reality.

I can no longer feel any pain throughout my body.

Lin Bei looked at him with the same anticipation a teacher would have for a student to answer their call of the day.

Loki: ······

The fighting techniques of mages and assassins are ridiculous; this is clearly the savage fighting style of warriors, not flashy at all.

Loki was indignant. The only dagger he possessed that could be considered an assassin's weapon had been thrown by Lin Bei as a flying projectile. It was only because he had gained extensive experience in stabbing people from Thor that those two daggers were thrown into his waist.

"As a mage, you need to be proficient in using your weapon, and you've done that well before."

As if seeing through Loki's thoughts, Lin Bei continued, "But you must remember, whether it's a dagger or a staff, they are ultimately just external objects. The most important thing for a mage is strength."

Loki: "..."

Loki: Wait a minute, let me catch my breath. I'm starting to hallucinate.

"Don't disbelieve me, we're both mages, so why am I able to beat you up? It's because I'm physically stronger than you!"

Loki: "..."

Loki: That makes so much sense! I almost did it!

"Reading ten thousand books is not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. No matter how much you talk about profound truths, it's useless. Only by experiencing them can you truly understand them."

Lin Bei, relentless in his attempts to destroy people, said, "We still have plenty of time. If you didn't understand just now, I can do it again, slowing down the movements as much as possible, so that you can feel what the power of a mage is."

Loki: "..."

Loki: Pshaw, you just want to beat me up!

"Speak up! Have you figured it out yet? It seems not. Well then, I'll have to put in the effort to teach you a few more times!"

"Aba aba..."

Loki stared wide-eyed and tried to open his mouth, but like a fish out of water, he could only open his mouth repeatedly without uttering a single word.
