Loki looked back at the not-so-rough chair, hesitated for a moment, and finally sat down.

"What do you want to talk about?"

"Why do you think Odin chose Thor as heir to the throne of Asgard instead of you?"

Loki had just sat down when he heard this, and his hands holding the handle squeezed the handle of the chair fiercely, if it weren't for his very good control of his own strength, he could have pinched the pair of chair handles into powder this time.

"You must think that Thor is Odin's own son, and that you are just adopted by him...... Of course, this reason cannot be ignored, and there is also your father, or adoptive father, Odin does not recognize your ability, thinking that you cannot govern Asgard well, and that you cannot become a qualified Asgardian god-king. ”

Ethan didn't wait for Loki to speak, although this god of trickery will often behave like a loveless bear child, but when facing most people, he will behave highly, showing the pride of being a god very thoroughly.

It was impossible to expect him to answer such a question, and Ethan simply gave the answer, and Loki's pride would disdain to deny the obvious facts.

"Isn't that so?"

Compared to Thor, Loki will be more calm when encountering things, and he will ponder various situations in his mind and analyze why the other party did what he did?

I can't say that there is a problem with this method, but compared to Thor's straightforward nature, sometimes this kind of person is easier to deal with - they are too calculating, and it is easier to be led to their own rhythm.

Thor's kind of person who doesn't care about going crazy and gets mad, sometimes it's not easy to convince, and if you want to convince this kind of guy, you can only use hard power to convince the other party.

Loki, he's prone to overthinking sometimes.

"Are you humiliating me by saying this?"

"No, I just want you to understand one thing. Ethan casually poured himself some juice, and then sent it to Loki with the hand of a mage, watching the second prince of Asgard take it without refusal, before withdrawing his spell, and then continued his words: "Although there are these reasons that you have in mind, they are not really the key. ”

Loki took a sip of the juice and realized that this thing was not an ordinary drink, it contained a lot of energy, this thing was not casually drunk even in Asgard, it seemed that this place was slightly better than he thought.

"Oh, so what do you think is the key to Odin's reluctance to let me inherit the throne?"

He was curious about what kind of reason Ethan would give? He had already calculated a lot in his heart, and felt that no matter what Ethan said, he could easily refute it, and he was very much looking forward to seeing Ethan being blocked by himself, which must be very interesting.

"Strength. Ethan had been observing Loki's expression, and the little surprise reaction he had when he drank the juice did not escape Ethan's eyes: "What really affects your succession to the throne of Asgard is your weak strength. ”

"Weak?" Loki almost dropped the cup in his hand on Ethan's face, and then rushed over to teach the ignorant, arrogant, and extremely weak mage in front of him a hard lesson, so that he understood what real weakness was: "You actually say me! Prince Asgard, the rightful heir of Jotunheim, son of Odin, god of trickery! weak?"

Ethan didn't care about Loki's excitement, looking at the steady glass of water in his hand, he knew that Loki was actually not as excited as he appeared, so he could still take a few sips of juice very comfortably, then stuff a snack into his mouth, and then wait until Loki's words were finished before continuing his words.

"Yes, weak! Tell me, Loki, what can you do in the face of Thanos with your strength?"

“......”

Loki stopped talking, he wasn't stupid, he was smart, he suddenly understood what Ethan meant.

Asgard is very powerful, and Asgard is also a very advanced existence in the entire universe, so strong that almost no civilization dares to offend Asgard's territory, and even the nine great kingdoms with Asgard as a sphere of influence, no one dares to offend at will, even the war madman Kree is trying to avoid conflict with Asgard.

This situation has created an illusion among the new generation of Asgardians that Asgard has no rivals in the universe, and that all those who dare to offend Asgard will be wiped out in front of Asgard's formidable forces.

Loki also thought so in the past, until he went around in the universe, he knew that the world was very big, and there were far more dangers than he imagined, and Asgard was able to stand in the upper layer of the pyramid in the vast universe because their god king Odin had very strong strength, even if he was as powerful as Thanos, he was unwilling to provoke Odin.

It is with Odin's protection that Asgard has been able to stand for countless years, and their generation of young people can grow up slowly in a relatively peaceful and happy environment.

"Thanos ......"

Loki was tempted to say that Thanos had nothing to do, why attack Asgard, but he quickly swallowed it back. Does Thanos, the madman, need a reason to attack anywhere? He hasn't provoked Asgard, not for any particular reason, just because of Odin.

That's all!

"Do you think Thor's strength is stronger than mine?" There is no doubt that Thor's strength is stronger than Loki's, Loki is not convinced that no matter how strong Thor is, he is stronger than himself, and there is still a long distance from Odin, and there is no way to face Thanos by himself, can Thor do it?

"Thor isn't much better than you right now, but he has a lot of potential. "As a time-traveler who understands the plot, the biggest advantage is the asymmetry of intelligence.

He knew that Thor's power was not given to him by the hammer, and that Thor's hammer was just a tool that allowed him to slowly adapt and learn to control his own power, similar in essence to the battle cross he gave to Diana. When the time comes, he will understand that the power he has been using is his own, and then he will start to learn how to use his due power without using tools, and at that time, Thor's strength will completely throw Loki away.

As soon as he told Loki what he knew, the god of trickery immediately understood a lot of things.

It's so easy to talk to smart people, and if he mentions a lot of things, he can understand the key to them, and there are many things that he doesn't need to say more, he thinks about them all.

Therefore, even if Thor was very unsuitable to be a king, Odin still tried his best to cultivate him, so that he could get rid of those shortcomings and move towards the throne of Asgard step by step. ”

Ethan drank the juice from his glass, and he said pretty much that.

"Because Thor has stronger potential, only when he taps all his potential and has strong strength can he truly sit on the throne of Asgard. Only under the protection of a sufficiently powerful god-king can Asgard continue to maintain its position in the universe, and the people of Asgard can continue to enjoy a peaceful and happy life...... You Loki can't do any of this. ”

Ethan stood up, walked up to Loki, and looked down condescendingly at Loki, who was sitting in a chair with a black face.

"Because your strength is too weak, so weak that you can't even protect yourself in a dangerous universe, let alone protect your country and people when Asgard is facing a real crisis, this is the fundamental reason why you can't inherit the throne. ”

Ethan's words actually have many problems, such as Loki is not Odin's own son, even if he is really strong to the level of Odin's peak, will Odin pass the throne to his adopted son? But to that extent, it seems that Thor's succession to the throne can no longer be completely decided by Odin, so this is not a question at all.

Loki certainly wanted to get to that level, and he realized that if he was really strong enough to do that, as long as he wanted to, even if Odin was unwilling, he would not be able to prevent him from taking the throne.

"Is it really because I'm too weak?" Loki put down his glass and began to think.

"Yes, weakness is sin, especially in a world so dangerous. Ethan felt that the foreshadowing was almost over, and it was time to get to the point, and he said so much in order to finally be able to reach a consensus with Loki: "So whatever you want to do in the future, you should try to make yourself stronger now." ”

Before Ethan's words were finished, Loki in front of him turned into a streamer and slowly disappeared, and then Loki's figure slowly appeared behind him, and the dagger in his hand pressed against Ethan's waist.

"Very wonderful remarks, I have to admit that what you said has some truth, but these words came from the mouth of a weak human mage, and combined with the current situation, it is really interesting, I don't know who the really weak one is?"

Ethan didn't feel the slightest surprise, and stood very calmly in place, letting the dagger in Loki's hand against his waist. He didn't even look back.

"Don't worry, I won't hurt you. Loki smiled, as if to show kindness, but that smile seemed to be more mocking, and he didn't care if Ethan could see it behind his back: "As long as you send me back, as a reminder of what you said earlier, we can even make friends." I guess it shouldn't be too much of a hassle for you. ”

"I'm sorry, but that's really a hassle for me. Ethan turned around and gave Loki a very 'charming' smile, and Loki was furious when he laughed, and realized that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to pull back.

Unfortunately, his movements were still half a beat slower, and the hand holding the dagger had been firmly grasped before he could retract it, followed by a whirlwind of the world, and Loki was already lying on the ground after coming to his senses.

As Loki fell to the ground, a ripple spread out from beneath him, and the entire captain's room seemed to be covered with a layer of glass, and even a few cracks appeared with the impact.
