Chapter 364: Once a Promise
Asgard, in the royal palace.
Odin sat on the throne, his eyes were like a galaxy flowing, looking extremely majestic and sacred.
However, the expression on his face was a little complicated, a little sad, a little sad, and a little remorse......
"Father, father?" Below, Thor called to him.
Odin came back to his senses and looked at Thor, while sighing deeply, "She's back—"
"She? Who? Thor didn't know why.
"Hela, your sister."
"I have a sister? But am I not your eldest son? Saul was a little unreceptive to this sudden family ethics script.
Not long ago, he thought he was Odin's eldest son, and his only brother was Loki.
But the truth of the matter is that Loki is not Odin's biological heir, but he has adopted, and he is also adopted from Asgard's sworn enemies, the Ice Giant King Laufey.
When he had gradually accepted this setting and thought that he was Odin's only son, Odin actually told him at this time that he also had a sister??
It made him feel a sense of confusion for a moment.
Thor's reaction, Odin was not surprised, and slowly told Thor's original history, including that Hela had helped him sweep away Asgard's enemies, stabilize Asgard's position as the co-leader of the Nine Realms, etc., all of which were told to Thor.
“…… Her ambitions were too big for me to restrain her, so I made a decision, one that I would continue to repent of for the rest of my life. ”
Odin said heavily, "She was sealed in the gap of the Nine Realms by me, she shouldn't have appeared at this time, but Dormammu's guy released her, and now she should have stood by Dormammu......"
Hearing this, Thor couldn't help but fall silent.
"You think I'm doing something wrong?" Odin asked.
"Although I shouldn't question you, father, no matter how you look at this matter, it is indeed your father who did wrong." Thor hesitated.
"But if I hadn't done this, with her character, it would have been impossible for her to watch me entrust Asgard to you, and I did this to protect you, my son......" Odin said bitterly.
"No, if she is really as good as you say father, then this position should have been for her to sit, and I will not have any resentment." Thor shook his head.
Odin looked at Thor in surprise, as if he had reacquainted himself with this son, and after a while, he shook his head and smiled bitterly: "I know you may not care about this position, but letting you sit in this position is a promise I once made to a person."
It was because of this promise that your grandfather was able to defeat the Dark Elves and make Asgard the co-master of the Nine Realms. ”
"But Grandpa, didn't he take away the aether particles of Malekith and defeat him, what does it have to do with the promise?"
"Silly boy, haven't you ever wondered how he took away the aether particles?" Odin shook his head with a complicated expression, "If the aether particles were really so easy to be deprived, the dark elves would not have ruled the Nine Realms for so long......"
"Do you mean that it was because you made an agreement with someone that the aether particles of Malekith were stripped away?" Thor was shocked by this big gossip that was enough to shake the Nine Realms.
"Not bad." Odin nodded.
"Who's that guy?" Thor couldn't help but ask.
"I can't tell you, it's one of the promises." Odin was a little melancholy, "At the beginning, I had to agree to this promise, but I had no choice...... For the sake of this promise, I had to seal your sister and send your brother away......"
"Wait! Brother?! ”
Thor was really stunned this time.
Why is there an extra brother in a good way?
Not only is he not the only son of Odin now, but he is not even the eldest son?
If that were the case, he shouldn't even have the Asgardian succession, which should have belonged to his 'older brother' whom he had first heard of.
If it is not counted in terms of succession, then this position should also be inherited by his sister who has made great contributions to Asgard, the goddess of death, Hela, in short, it should not be his second son in any case.
"I didn't tell you these things before, I was afraid that you would feel uncomfortable, but now I have to say ......"
Thor: "Because of my sister, she's out of trouble?" ”
Odin: "Although I don't want to admit it, but now I am very likely to be no match for her, and the most important thing is that she is also an Aesir Protoss, if she does it in Asgard, she will not only not be weakened, but can exert stronger strength."
Moreover, she was still walking with Dormammu, and if they joined forces, Asgard would not be able to stop them. ”
Thor also understood the seriousness of the matter, and said worriedly, "Is there really no room for mitigation in this matter?" For example, father, if you give up your place to her now, will she ......?"
"Impossible."
Odin rejected Thor's offer without hesitation, sighing, "From what I know about her, the most she wants to do now is to defeat me, and then kill you in front of me, proving to me how stupid my choice was in the first place."
As for this position, she will only feel that she deserves it, and even if I give it to her now, she will not let you go.
Besides, she was already the master of Haier's underworld at the beginning, and in terms of power and status, she was not much worse than me at the beginning, but she still didn't feel satisfied.
And have you forgotten what I just said...... If Asgard is only a bad luck in the face of Hela and Dormammu, then if I break my promise, what awaits Asgard will be wiped out of this world, you know? ”
Thor looked at Odin in disbelief: "Who has the ability to wipe Asgard out of the whole?" ”
Odin chuckled, "Child, there are still many things you don't know in this world, and you will understand later." ”
Thor nodded thoughtfully and asked, "Then what should we do now, we can't sit still and wait for death, right?" ”
"Of course not, it's true that I'm sorry for her, but Asgard can't just destroy it at my hands...... Once she is in this position, all that awaits Asgard is destruction, and even she cannot escape this fate. Odin's eyes were resolute.
"Then why didn't you just tell her about it, father?"
"I said I wasn't to reveal that person's identity and name to anyone, and that's what I promised, but do you think she'll take my word for it?" Odin let out a long sigh.
