The Tale Of Loki by DickMcJones

Chapter 6

100 years later:

The last century has been productive. I am a master in many different types of magic. It would have taken me longer, but fortunately I have created my masterpiece a decade ago. The masterpiece I am referring to is a cloning spell. The spell lets me be able to get the clone's memories after dispelling or splitting my consciousness into the clone so I can control the bodies simultaneously. The amount of clones I can make depends on my magic power and there are other factors at hand like physical abilities and if the clone will use magic which increases the cost of making them.

I mostly use the clones now to do all my studying, which increases my free time, which means Thor is dragging me off on more of his adventures, not that I don't like it since it is quite fun. One adventure a few decades ago on Midgard caused the creation of Norse mythology. Now the people of Scandinavia call me God of Chaos and Magic which isn't completely accurate since we aren't technically gods just an advanced long-lived species, but who am I to deny their worshipping of me because compared to them we are technically gods.

Of course, magic wasn't my only subject of study and I progressed leaps and bounds in the science area. From the movies, you would think Asgard is less advanced than earth because they use swords and other medieval weapons, but that is not the case. We are decades if not centuries ahead of my old world. The only reason people use medieval weapons is because Asgardians are a warrior race that believes that other forms of combat are cowardly etc.

I move towards the room next to my chambers and enter.

"Welcome to the danger room, Sir." My AI Oracle responds. "What mode should the room designate?"

"Frost Giants wave should be fine for now, Oracle."

"Of course Sir."

The room changes to icy and the blue creatures begin to come after me. I equip my swords and begin to slaughter the creatures without my magic. That is how I spend my day testing the limits of my physical abilities and combat experience and I have to say I am not satisfied. Sure I am at the upper echelon of strength, speed and durability compared to ordinary Asgardians, but I am not satisfied with that. As I sit and brood I get the brilliant idea to create a super-serum that could work on me to put me above peak Asgardian level. I figured if they could do it on Steve Rogers why can't I make it work, but I would have to have Jotunns to experiment on since I am one and their biology differs from Asgardians.

As I sit in the room that is also one of my prized possessions. It is a simulation room that I created a few years back to gain fighting experience against all sorts of creatures in groups or to refine my skills. The AI Oracle I created a few decades back since I have always wanted one and she quickly proved her use over the many decades. She controls the room so the enemies are difficult since she improves the enemies at every round which lets me improve too.

I put my swords in my hammerspace and use one of my secret paths to Jotunheim. Being seen would be detrimental to my goals so I just used an invisibility spell and quickly knocked a few ice giants out. When I made my way back to Asgard instead of going to my room I headed to a cave underground several kilometres away from the main city. I have built it over the years for my more secretive projects. There are runes all over the place so even Heimdall can't see and will only see an empty normal cave.

I put the frost giants in the dungeons and one by one I began experimenting on them. First I studied their biology and then I analysed their ice powers. Over the next few years, I and a few clones work on a serum that would push me above the peak jotunn levels. Normal people would see what I do as inhumane and horrifying, but in my eyes, anything that isn't mine is not of importance including the lives of others. Sure I won't randomly kill people, but if it comes to my goals I would without remorse.
