Loki was a powerful deity associated with chaos and mischief. The [[Prime Universe]]'s [[#In the Prime Universe|version of him]] could quickly regenerate from any injuries dealt to him. Having dominion over chaos and randomness, he could remotely affect throws of dice and other attempts to capture and exploit “randomness”. He could arrange “webs” of events, dominoes falling in a greater plan, in a manner which seemed to genuinely affect the forces of fate and destiny, such that [[Odin#In the Prime Universe|Odin]] himself was not permitted to interfere with his plans once they were in motion. Even after his true body was bound under the Earth, he retained the ability to project his will back to the surface world to observe and subtly influence events; he could even create an illusory avatar of his physical form to act through, although this was taxing to him.

In December 2021, Loki and Sigyn spun a “web” to contrive events that would result in his liberation. Sigyn proposed to auction off the Wyrm of Loki's venom that she had gathered to the highest bidder, and set the [[Clockwork Cherub]]s [[Pythagoras-858]] and [[Juliet-178]], of the [[Crew of the Copper-Colored Cupids]], the task of locating and slaying “a certain [[Wyrm]]”, which was in fact the Wyrm of Loki itself, to prove their “worthiness”. He also remotely altered the randomised coordinates of [[CS-NA]]'s [[Dematerialisation Engine]] to have CS-NA land in the World Below himself, breaking up a fight between [[Jormungandir]] and [[Tero Trollgarsson]] and convincing the serpent to lead the Cherubs to him. | In December 2021, Loki and Sigyn spun a “web” to contrive events that would result in his liberation.

After they reached his chamber, Loki covertly convinced CS-NA to free him while the Cupids were distracted. He then helped the Cupids defeat the Wyrm by telling them to allow some venom to touch him; in his supernatural thrashings, Loki caused an earthquake which shook the Wyrm loose from the ceiling, as well as several stalactites which fell on the Wyrm and knocked it out.

He then helped the Cupids defeat the Wyrm by telling them to allow some venom to touch him; in his supernatural thrashings, Loki caused an earthquake which shook the Wyrm loose from the ceiling, as well as several stalactites which fell on the Wyrm and mostly knocked it out. While Juliet was busy properly defeating the Wyrm and tying it to a nearby stalagmite, CS-NA cut Loki's bonds, and the god immediately shapeshifted into a bird and began to fly away. Juliet tried to chase after him, but he turned into a cheetah, then a pterosaur, and managed to make it out of the cavern, intent on using his powers to establish a new order of Aesir reigning over mortals — himself, Sigyn and Jormungandir. | ||
However, quickly enough, Fenrir caught up to him and brought him back to the cavern, building a new prison for him there, a small stone cell in the center of the larger cavern. Now apprised of the reasons Loki should not be actually freed, but loathe to let him and his family have such a disappointing Christmas, CS-NA quickly organised a party for Loki, Jormungandir, Fenrir and Sigyn which they all greatly enjoyed.
