Chapter 107: Odin's painstaking efforts
Ethan looked at the Cosmic Cube in his hand, and he was thinking about whether to return this thing.
Guardian of a child?The Odin of this world has only three children, Thor is the first heir to the throne of Asgard, and after that exile, Thor is now more and more in line with Odin's requirements, he is very satisfied with his eldest son, and it is impossible to suddenly leave him to himself and let himself teach him or something.
Then the only reliable option was ruled out, and the only thing left was the eldest daughter, Hela, and Loki, the god of trickery who had just been brought down.
These two people, no matter which one of them is not honest goods.
Hela is extremely strong, especially in the land of Asgard, her combat power will continue to grow, although I don't know how far it will end up, but even Hela, who has just gotten rid of the seal and has not returned to Asgard, can easily beat Thor, he doesn't think he can suppress this.
"Don't worry too much, Loki won't actually cause you too much trouble, because you're the only one who can bring him back. ”
Ethan withdrew his gaze from the Cosmic Cube and turned to Odin on the throne.
He already knew that Odin wanted to take Loki into his hands. For Loki, this is a kind of exile.
At the same time, Odin's words revealed that he did not completely refuse the possibility of Loki's return, seeing that he meant to kick his youngest son out, let him follow Ethan's experience and understand more things, maybe after his vision is broadened, Loki will not always do something that makes people headaches.
In Odin's eyes, Loki's doing things is nothing, and it is nothing that he has ambitions, and Odin is dissatisfied that his youngest son uses very child's play methods every time to do something that is not very on the table. finally did a 'big thing', and it ended in a tragedy, and a series of plans were not shown, but he took the initiative to jump into the pit.
In short, after so many things have happened, Odin's only feeling is that Loki is not mature enough, and his current state is still a long way from being truly mature.
"Loki is the best mage of Asgard's new generation, and he knows all that Asgard has to ...... magic."
"Deal!"
Ethan agreed to Odin's request very simply, and in fact he had no room to refuse this matter.
Odin happily gave away the Cosmic Rubik's Cube, and very simply agreed to let Ethan learn the knowledge of Asgard at will, and it was not difficult for a strong man to take Loki around, and he had no reason to refuse at all.
What's more, Odin specifically reminded him that as long as Ethan could ask from Loki, then all of Asgard's magical knowledge would be open to him.
"It's a little difficult, but it doesn't matter. ”
Now that the matter has been settled, Ethan began to think in a good direction.
Is there any benefit to Loki getting on the ship? Of course, except that he can learn Asgardian magic from him, he is not weak in combat himself.
His ability in hand-to-hand combat is no worse than that of Logan, who is an expert in combat, not to mention that his physical fitness is far stronger than that of ordinary people. If an ordinary person is given a set of hellish bliss by the Hulk, it won't be as simple as Loki just getting a little injured.
In addition, as a god of trickery, Loki often thinks of small tricks, which often have unexpected effects, compared to Logan, Loki is a qualified staff officer who is suitable for discussing plans together. Of course, always be careful that this guy makes some trouble.
The only trouble is that Loki is not easy to control.
But Odin reminds Ethan that Loki is definitely not happy to live in his own world with only sea water for the rest of his life, and he must want to return to this universe, after all, this is the only place where he can meet Thor.
No one but himself could bring him back to this world, and Ethan, who had mastered the ability to travel through planes, was able to keep Loki by his side alone, instead of running somewhere else to catch him.
When he really wants to escape, it's only when he takes him back to this universe, and the rest of the time he does things at most, but he won't run away.
Is it a matter for Ethan to make trouble? He thought about it carefully, he himself likes to do things, he used to be so honest completely because of his lack of strength, maybe Loki is a good partner?
As for being at Sea World...... He shouldn't be able to do anything in a short period of time, Loki is not stupid, he doesn't even know where and what's going on, at least he needs a while to understand some information.
Ethan thought as much as he could about the benefits of Loki going with him, and walked out of the palace with Thor.
As soon as he walked out the door, Thor reached out and patted Ethan on the shoulder.
"I know my brother isn't very likeable, but he's my brother after all, and I hope you can take good care of him. ”
“......”
Ethan looked at the hand on his shoulder, and wanted to say to the person in front of him: "Big brother, your brother doesn't need my care, are you worried about the wrong person?"
Fortunately, Thor also knows what kind of character his brother is: "If you run into trouble that is difficult to solve, or if Loki causes something, you can come to me." ”
Thor's words were a promise that as long as Ethan approached him, he would help, and he would never refuse, even if the favor had nothing to do with Loki, and the matter was dangerous, and he might die because of it, he would not hesitate at all.
"Trust me, you're not going to be polite if you need to. ”
Counting Thor's promise, it seems that he has gained more and more benefits.
To sum up, on this trip to Asgard, he got the custody of the Cosmic Cube (which actually belongs to him), the opportunity to learn about Asgard, the mischievous Loki, the magic knowledge of Asgard (which needs to be taken out of Loki's mouth), and the summoning beast Thor.
The harvest is very rich, and Loki's trouble is nothing compared to it.
There is a reward for paying, so it's good to treat Loki as another Arthur, but this one is a little more difficult.
For the rest of the day, Ethan and Diana stayed in Asgard.
Diana would walk around every day, Thor would take her around when he had nothing to do, if he didn't have time, he would ask Sif to help entertain her, and Frigga would chat with Diana from time to time to receive the daughter of the god-king from another universe.
Perhaps it was Diana's demigod status that made the Asgardians more receptive, and they were much more enthusiastic about Diana than they were for Ethan.
Ethan speculated that there was another reason, that is, Diana had beaten most of the powerful warriors here shortly after arriving in Asgard, and the warlike Asgardians appreciated warriors more, so it was not surprising that Diana was popular. Only Thor hasn't fought Diana yet, it's not that he doesn't want to make a move, but he is stopped by Odin.
Compared with Thor, a 'young man', Odin's vision is much sharper, he has long seen that Diana has initially mastered the divine power in his body, and her combat power far exceeds the current Thor, Thor wants to compete with Diana, unless he can freely release the hidden power in his body without using Thor's hammer.
In that case, Thor can be regarded as having the initial qualifications to compete with Diana, considering that Diana has mastered her divine power for quite some time, even if she stimulates the power in her body, Thor who has just stepped into this field is likely to be defeated by the other party.
Thor, who is the future heir to the throne of Asgard and has gradually taken over most of Asgard's power, cannot just be defeated by an outside guest in public, and that will not benefit Thor's prestige.
"Perhaps, we should let Thor go out and practice too?"
Odin quickly abandoned the idea. He sent Loki out, one in the hope that Loki would gain more experience, so that he could understand how dangerous the world is, and learn to control his ambitions.
The best-case scenario is that Loki broadens his horizons and strength, and can realize how dangerous the world is, and the future of Asgard is not as rosy as it seems, and then devote himself to working with Thor to protect Asgard and let Asgard prosper for a long time.
At the same time, keeping Loki away from Asgard would also give Thor enough time to accumulate enough prestige, so that when he inherited the throne, he would be supported by the whole of Asgard, and even if Loki still had ambitions, he was doomed to fail without the support of the people at the bottom.
Odin wants Loki to be Thor's helper, not a competitor. He believed that as long as the two brothers worked together, Asgard's glory would last for a long, long time. At the same time, he is also confident that Thor who stays in Asgard can also steadily improve his strength, and finally reach his original level.
"The only doubt is...... Can you avoid that catastrophe? Can this young man really stop that?"
Odin stood on a high place, looking at his kingdom in a silent daze, his words seemed to be talking to himself, but there was a faint response.
"His presence has caused a lot of changes, and I can't see all the future of Asgard anymore. ”
Odin nodded, and that was good news for him.
"And what about yourself?"
"There are also a lot of uncertain futures. The voice became clearer and clearer, and a man in a yellow robe and hood appeared behind Odin, slowly walking next to the god-king and looking out over all of Asgard with him.
"Do you think that young man is the key?"
"Everything that changed started the moment he appeared in this world. Lifting the hood, the one who suddenly appeared in Asgard was none other than Kama Taj's Supreme Mage Ancient One: "As his strength increases, the future that I can't see is still increasing." ”
