Chapter 479: The God of Mischief
Due to Odin's youthful ambitions, Atri already had experience in crafting the Infinity Gauntlet, and with the dwarven race's cosmic forgery for fame, it was only natural that Thanos would have his eye on Nidavile.
Before Odin died overwhelmed, the cautious Thanos should not have made a move, and Lu Xiao planned to use the last time to set up a game.
Lu Xiao, who smiled without saying a word, let Odin understand his plan, and after a little consideration, Odin nodded and agreed to his request.
"Yes, I will have someone inform Atri in the name of God King Odin, but whether the layout can succeed depends on your ability."
Lu Xiao's last layout killed the theoretically immortal Dormammu, although the price paid was relatively large, but in the face of an enemy of Dormammu's level, it was also helpless.
His family knows his own affairs, and Odin already knows the limits of his lifespan.
After his death, it was impossible for the immature Thor to suppress the situation, and even if Frigga assisted, it would not fundamentally change the situation.
The bloody conquests of Asgard in the early years offended many people.
As the saying goes, once the news of Odin's death spreads, not only Hela and Thanos, but also more people will covet the rich resources and precious treasures in Asgard's hands.
Odin's current physical condition does not allow him to open his dormant chamber for long periods of time to talk to people.
Barely able to get down to business, Odin gradually lost consciousness as he explained Thor's Asgard's priorities.
"Click~"
The lid of the dormant chamber closed automatically, and the therapists waiting outside the door entered the dormitory again.
According to the chief healer's prediction, Odin's next awakening would be at least a month later, and then the duration of each awakening would be greatly shortened, but the interval would be greatly extended, until finally he could never wake up again.
As early as the last time he entered Odin's sleep, the king of the gods told Thor and Frigga the truth about his physical condition, and the two were already mentally prepared for Odin's departure.
But having said that, watching his father gradually step into death, Lu Xiao can understand Thor's mood now.
The two left Odin's dormitory in silence, and the celebratory banquet presided over by the god queen Frigga in the front hall was also coming to an end.
Considering that the mother and son must have a lot to talk about, Lu Xiao said goodbye and left, and went to the side hall of the Golden Palace to live temporarily under the arrangement of the maid.
After a night's rest, Lu Xiao's mood recovered slightly when he saw Thor the next day.
Lu Xiao happened to make a request to him, a request that was difficult for Thor to understand.
"You want to see Loki?!"
Thor's eyes widened like copper bells, and he looked at Lu Xiao with a question mark in his head: "Why?" ”
Lu Xiao shrugged his shoulders and explained, "Hela's threat is imminent, and Asgard needs all the combat power that can be used. ”
"Although Loki is the son of the Frost Giant King Laufey, he has received orthodox combat training from Asgard since he was a child, and his spells have been taught by the Queen of God herself, so I think he can be of some use in the next plans."
"But ......"
Thor's expression was very tangled: "Lu, as Loki's brother, I know his nature very well. ”
"Although Loki is very talented in combat and strategy, he is too playful and can't put all his energy into many things, which makes him seem a little half-baked in every way."
"And Loki is a god of mischief, often doing some unbelievable behavior out of place."
"Considering his attitude toward Asgard today, I fear that he will be an unstable factor in your plans."
Lu Xiao patted Thor's arm kindly: "Of course I will take these into consideration, but do you really think Loki and Asgard ...... Or is the relationship with you irreconcilable? ”
Thor was puzzled: "How do you say that?" What he hates most should be to take away all the favor of my father and mother, right? ”
"Heh~"
Lu Xiao waved his hand funny: "All the favors? Not necessarily. ”
"At least your mother never had any prejudice against Loki, and even taught her what she had learned all her life."
"To put it bluntly, the biggest obstacle between Loki and you is the god-king Odin."
"And the god-king who has entered the last years of the wind and candle is unable to make irresponsible remarks about Loki, and the decision-making power for the future of Asgard is in the hands of you, the crown prince."
After all, they are brothers who grew up together, and even if they are not related by blood, there is indeed a brotherly relationship between Thor and Loki.
The disagreement between the two stems from prejudice, Odin's prejudice.
Odin could not have made a descendant of the Frost Giant the crown prince of Asgard, and had only taught Thor how to govern alone.
What Thor was like in the past, many people know in their hearts, and it is definitely not an exaggeration to describe it as a reckless man.
Compared to Thor, who is a man of all kinds of force, Loki thinks he is better than him in the ability to run the country.
At first, he thought that Odin's prejudice was only due to Thor being the eldest son, but it wasn't until he slipped into the vault to take control of the Ice Crate that Loki finally learned of his origins, and he found the most suitable reason for Odin's discriminatory treatment.
Because he's not an Asgardian at all.
The grievances and hatreds of the Thor family can only be sorted out by themselves, and Lu Xiao has no intention of intervening in other people's family conflicts.
One of the reasons for using Loki is that he has been in close contact with Thanos, and with Loki's mind, he should at least have some understanding of his situation.
Regardless of whether Loki still wants to take the Asgardian throne from Thor, Hela's presence is also a huge threat to him.
Under the pressure of a common enemy, as long as you take some precautions against Loki's possible ghost tricks in advance, it shouldn't be a problem to pull him together to fight against Hela, the god of death.
……
The single-celled Thor had difficulty understanding Lu Xiao's thoughts, but after experiencing the Avengers' many experiences in succession, he understood at least one truth.
Let professional people do professional things, don't force yourself to do things you are not good at.
Among the new generation of members of Asgard, Thor is superior in combat and can be said to be unmatched, but his brains are ...... Anyone who understands understands.
This is not the first time that Lu Xiao has cooperated with Asgard, and in Thor's heart, he is a trusted companion and ally.
Knowing that his brain is not good, Thor simply leaves the things that need to be done by someone who is better at it.
However, before going to the dungeon to meet Loki, Thor first told the queen of the gods about Lu Xiao's plans.
"Rocky......"
After listening to Thor's story, Friggia's expression was a little complicated.
Emotionally, she hopes that Loki will take credit for this crisis and receive Thor's pardon after the war.
Odin was on his deathbed, and Frigga didn't want to see the brothers Thor and Loki continue to fight.
But from a rational point of view, Frigga also knows the capricious character of Loki, the god of mischief, and even as a mother, she can't accurately predict how Loki will react when he is released.
"Thor, is Lu Xiao really sure to control Loki?"
Thor scratched his head in annoyance, "At least that's what he said." ”
After bowing her head and pondering for a moment, Frigga chose to believe Lu Xiao just like Odin.
"I see."
Frigga said firmly, "I'll go with you, my words should still have some effect on Loki." ”
