The true god-king Odin returned to Asgard without incident, and the aftermath of the Dark Elf Rebellion subsided.

Loki, who had enjoyed the throne of the god king for a while, was once again thrown into the dungeon, and this time even the god queen Frigga who had always spoiled children did not open her mouth to intercede for him.

However, this unexpected trip to Earth seems to have made Odin's heart change a little, and it has become much softer than before.

Loki's expulsion of the god-king and stealing the throne was enough to be sentenced to death by Odin, but Odin only ordered him to be thrown back into the dungeon to wait for his death.

On the other hand, Loki's thinking has likewise undergone a subtle change.

In the past, Loki had always been resentful of Odin's partiality, and regarded ascending to the throne as his greatest wish, so he even did not hesitate to defect to Thanos and lead the Zetarians to invade Earth as his vanguard.

But when he really sat in that position, Loki realized that the god king was not good at all.

Loki is a natural hedonistic disposition, and being a king of peace in times of peace is more in line with his expectations.

But at the moment, there are undercurrents surging inside and outside the Nine Realms, not to mention that Thanos's coveting of the Earth and the Infinity Stones is something that Loki has personally experienced.

After a short period of time under Thanos, Loki has a deeper understanding of the eloquent cosmic overlord, and Thanos is definitely a super strong man at the same level as Odin.

Compared with Thor, the prince of Asgard, who is straightforward and quick to use his hands than his brain, Loki, who is full of ghosts, thinks more.

The last time Thanos sent the Zetarians to invade Earth was just a test to find out the attitude of Odin, the guardian of the Nine Realms.

In the Battle of New York, Odin did not take action personally, but only sent his son Thor to assist the Avengers.

Thor's strength can only be looked up to by most mortals, but in the eyes of a powerhouse of Thanos' level, the young and vigorous Prince of Asgard is not difficult to deal with.

The cosmic overlord of the same level as his adoptive father coveted the Nine Realms, and Loki was not confident to sit on the throne in such a stormy environment.

Moreover, a period of life as a god-king also allowed Loki to see himself calmly after the old grudge was paid - he was actually not suitable for this position.

With Loki and Odin both calming down, Asgard truly regained its calm, but Odin's problems were not yet fully resolved.

Like his daughter Hela, Odin's power also originated in Asgard, and during his exile to Earth, he lost connection with the source of his power while already weak, further accelerating the decline of Odin's power.

If you want Odin to recover as soon as possible, you must let him enter Odin's sleep to recuperate for a period of time.

Before Odin falls asleep, the problems of Asgard's external security and internal governance must be resolved.

The problem of governing power is relatively easy, even if Odin is not there, and Asgard has the skillful queen Frigga to assist the prince of the overseer, Thor, but the external security problem is more serious.

Thanos seems to have seen Odin's weakness, and has become impatient from his previous Taoguang cultivation, and Odin does not think that the immature Thor can defeat Thanos.

On the other hand, Hela, the god of death, who was sealed by Odin in the Nordic realm of Midgard, also needs an embankment.

Hela is Odin's first child, and long before Thor was born, he followed Odin who was still in the conqueror stage to fight through the Nine Realms, and his strength was very terrifying.

After Thor's birth, Odin realized that the territory he had conquered was vast enough, and gradually entered the mode of a wise monarch, ruling the Nine Realms by relatively peaceful means.

The birds are all gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked.

Odin knows very well to his daughter Hela, who bears the name of Death, can follow him across the universe, but she is not a wise ruler who can govern the country well.

So Odin led his most powerful elite, Valkyrie, to capture Hela.

As a result, Odin succeeded, but a large number of elite Valkyries also fell, and the infighting cost Asgard a great loss.

During Odin's sleep, Hela's seal strength will inevitably decrease, and the God King himself is not sure whether Hela will take the opportunity to get out of trouble.

To Odin's consolation, he had been promised by the Ancient One that the Supreme Mage would help protect the Nine Realms during his slumber, and would assist Asgard if necessary.

Temporarily entrusting the future of Asgard to Frigga and Thor, the exhausted Odin finally lies in a dormant chamber.

"Friggia."

Before falling asleep, Odin forced his spirit to ask his wife, who was guarding the side, "What do you think of the new apprentice of the Ancient One?" ”

Although Frigga was a little surprised that Odin asked this question at this time, she still thought about it carefully and gave her own evaluation objectively.

"In terms of personal strength alone, it is not remarkable, but his ability to infiltrate and strategically lay out is not bad, this time he was able to expose Loki's true face with minimal influence, and Lu Xiao, who arranged the action behind the scenes, accounted for at least half of the credit."

"Sure enough, you think highly of him too."

Odin's one-eyed eyes gradually closed: "Fokine and Fogni do not see any possibility in him, as if his past and future are blank. ”

Odin's right eye was lost during a battle with the Frost Giants a thousand years ago, and since then, Odin has domesticated two crows with strange abilities as his eyes and ears, named Fojin and Wuni.

Fujin and Fog Ni were able to move freely through the Nine Realms, secretly spying on Odin's special attention without being noticed.

These two crows also have a weak ability to see the future, and can see the future direction of the target to a limited extent.

But just as the ancient one couldn't use the time gem to see through Lu Xiao's origin, Odin was also stunned by him.

As the only existence in the world, there is only one Lu Xiao in the countless parallel worlds of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, which prevents the Ancient One and Odin from using the development of parallel worlds as a reference to see through Lu Xiao's future.

Odin's breath gradually became even, and he left one last word before falling asleep.

"Let Thor maintain a good relationship with him as much as possible, I have an indescribable intuition that that human youth named Lu Xiao may affect the future of the world."

……

Under the auspices of the god queen Friggia, the impact of Odin's slumber was minimized, and Thor was finally able to spare some time to fulfill the promise he made to Lu Xiao.

Coming to Asgard again, Lu Xiao didn't stay here for long, Heimdall opened the Rainbow Bridge and sent him and Thor into the depths of the universe, to a futuristic "planet" full of technology, the hometown of the dwarves, Nidavel.

"This ......"

Lu Xiao looked at the shocking scene in front of him in amazement.

The entire planet Nidavel is completely unrecognizable, and the dwarves have greatly transformed their homeland.

Lu Xiao is a liberal arts graduate, and he does not know much about science, and he only has a sense of amazement at the strange scene of Nidavel.

But Altheya, who had always stayed quietly in the bracelet, was different, and she suddenly exclaimed abnormally in Lu Xiao's head.

"Dyson ball?! How is this possible! ”
