Loki could sense the will of the world's desperation for a protector. It was clear that the world wanted someone that could defeat and hopefully kill him.
But what he sensed made him chuckle and say inwardly, "Is it that it doesn't notice that the old Hammock is dead, or is it that it sensed this but doesn't care, or that it sensed it and cares, but it can't change the protocol that it put in place to select the next world king?"
Hammock now possesses three portions of world power, so he has now met the requirement to become the world king. So being chosen to become the wield king shouldn't have been an unexpected development if not for the fact that the current Hammock is just a golem.
However, Loki didn't care for whatever plan the will of the world was up to. After all, Hammock is now his puppet.
He stood to the side with his arms folded across his chest as he watched Hammock ascend. He was keeping his presence low, but there was no way his presence could be hidden.
