719, Return to Asgard (3-in-1 Grand Chapter)
Valkyrie was very emotional when she received Odin's apology, she never imagined that one day the father of the gods, who was sitting on the throne of Asgard and looking at the creatures of the Nine Realms, bowed his head and apologized to her.
Even though Valkyrie was the best female warrior in the whole of Asgard, her communication with Odin was always very limited, and above the temple, she could only feel the majesty and solemnity of Odin, and could only feel the unquestionable and cold royal power he represented, but she could not realize that this patron of the Nine Realms was essentially a living person with flesh and blood, seven emotions and six desires.
Today's conversation in the attic made Valkyrie completely let go of his previous prejudices about Odin, and also untied a knot in his heart for many years.
At this time, Odin looked at Valkyrie, who was in tears, and asked in a low voice, "Will you forgive me?" My baby. ”
"Oh, of course I do, my esteemed king." Valkyrie said in a trembling voice.
At this moment, she suddenly realized that her respect for Odin did not come from Odin's power and his identity, but from Odin's kindness and kindness.
When she realized that Odin was really doing everything he could to protect the Asgardians and the creatures of the Nine Realms, she finally willingly allegiance to Odin and was willing to give her life to the throne of Asgard.
She understood that Odin had suffered no less than she had over the years in Hela's affairs.
Valkyrie lost his comrades and love, but Odin exiled his daughter to the eerie underworld......
Life and death are equally painful, and Odin has given a lot.
Looking at the aging king, Valkyrie choked up several times.
……
It took a long time for Valkyrie to adjust her mood, and then she asked in a low voice, "Then Father of the Gods, can I take the liberty of asking, since you have no mental problems, then why are you pretending to be crazy and stupid?" ”
"What did you come to Earth for? Is it for high flying? ”
"Is your ruse used to deceive Goofy?"
"Of course, maybe I shouldn't know about these questions, maybe I'm talking too much, and if that's the case, then please forgive me, Father of the Gods."
Odin smiled, shook his head, and said, "Don't worry, I can answer these questions." But before I do that, I would like to ask you to answer me a question. Valkyrie, personal feelings aside, what do you think of Asgard's current system? Do you think there is a problem with the kingship of Asgard? ”
"Well...... Valkyrie was a little apprehensive, this was not a simple question.
But in reality, as she said to Goofy and Thor on Saka, she has long been tired of Asgard's kingship.
The people of Asgard owe allegiance to Odin, and Valkyrie understands. Because Odin helped Asgard become strong and protect the creatures of the Nine Realms, he is the guardian of the Nine Realms, and to be loyal to Odin is to protect himself.
But should this power be passed down from generation to generation? Should the people of Asgard be unconditionally loyal to Odin's sons, grandsons, and descendants?
What if any of these heirs did not intend to shelter the people of the Nine Realms like Odin?
What if any of these heirs is unworthy?
The feudal hereditary system is a primitive, backward, and ignorant system, which even the people of the earth have recognized.
Valkyrie is not a person who is afraid to say what she really thinks, she said bluntly: "I think the current system in Asgard is very backward and needs to be changed urgently. ”
"That's right, you're right......" Odin didn't get angry, but nodded with a smile, "Actually, I realized this back when Hela betrayed me. I've been thinking about it, I've been scared - you said that if I had died in battle with Hela in the Nine Realms, and Hela had inherited Asgard, what would the universe be like now? ”
Valkyrie thought about it, and couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat.
"It's not an exaggeration to say that at least the entire galaxy will be enslaved by Hela...... And her ambition certainly doesn't stop here, she wants to rule the entire universe, and death and killing will be with her. ”
"So it's never a good idea to let my heirs inherit everything I have." Odin shook his head and said, "Over the years, I have carefully observed these heirs of mine, not only Hela, but also later Thor and Loki......"
"Oh, you haven't met Loki yet, he's not my own son, but that's not a reason for me to refuse to pass on the throne to him. I have said that he is like me, he inherited my wisdom, but his intelligence lacks moral restraint, which makes him very dangerous......"
"Tell me about Thor, you must already know him well, do you think Thor would be a good king? Will he become a competent protector of the Nine Realms? ”
Valkyrie shook his head decisively and said, "With all due respect, no." ”
"Thor is brave and upright, but he has no power and no strategy...... He may be a great general, but he will never be a steady king, a guardian of the Nine Realms. ”
Odin nodded approvingly and said, "That's right, you really know Thor very well. I tried to make him the guardian of Asgard, but unfortunately he didn't pass my test......"
"So I'm even more sure that the person who inherits my place doesn't have to be my heir, but someone else."
Valkyrie speculated, "Could it be other Asgardian nobles?" Only more capable, like Heimdall? ”
Odin smiled and shook his head, "No, power should be inherited by the most suitable and capable people, not by nobles, relatives and friends. That's why I came to Earth this time. ”
Hearing this, Valkyrie was already stunned: "That's why you deliberately pretend to be confused, you are actually secretly investigating the successor?" ”
"Hehehe......" Odin smiled happily, "you're right. ”
"So your chosen successor is an earthling?" Valkyrie's eyes lit up, and she seemed to have guessed who this heir was.
Odin did not reveal the answer to this question, but whispered to Valkyrie, "Now I need you to perform with me, kid." ”
Valkyrie nodded respectfully, "Yes, Father of the Gods." ”
————————
When Odin and Valkyrie went downstairs together, Goofy and Thor were confused about the situation upstairs, originally Goofy and Thor's hearing was stronger than ordinary people, so Odin and Valkyrie could be heard by them even if they were standing in the attic talking, but because of Odin's power to provide Odin with a safe aura, this aura invisibly played a soundproof effect.
So there is no doubt that it is not easy to know what the two are talking about.
Odin, who went downstairs, still looked not in good spirits and asked Carrie for fruit.
Carrie shrugged helplessly at Gao Fei: "See, Dad?" What kind of miserable days have your daughter had this week...... Now that you're finally back, help me take care of Grandpa Odin. ”
Goofy smiled and rubbed his daughter's head, and went to the kitchen to help Odin wash the fruit.
Before leaving, however, he glanced at Valkyrie, who hurriedly followed.
"How's it going?" Goofy asked in a whisper.
Valkyrie shrugged his shoulders and said with a wry smile: "When I saw that Odin had become like this, my hatred for him disappeared. To be honest, Odin didn't mean to harm me and my sisters. He didn't know that Hela was going to poison us......"
Goofy wasn't surprised, but he vaguely felt that something was wrong.
"Really? So you didn't ask Odin to apologize to you? Or maybe Odin didn't mean to apologize to you? ”
Valkyrie nodded, "Yes." He was sometimes sober and sometimes confused, and I didn't bother to bother with him anymore. I think the real root of this is Hela, and if I can kill Hela to avenge my sisters, they will only be blind if they know it. ”
Although Valkyrie is very good at lying, she still doesn't dare to talk to Goofy about it, after all, there are many mistakes, and Goofy is a very smart and sensitive person, if she says that she leaks her mouth and destroys Odin's plan, it will be over.
So she quickly changed the subject and said, "By the way, when are we going back to Asgard?" ”
"Oh...... Ah......h Now Asgard is in Loki's hands, and he doesn't know anything about Hela's arrival. I think it's time to go back to Asgard and let him know. ”
With that, he walked back to the living room with an apple, handed it to Odin, and then turned to Thor and said, "Thor, are you ready to go back to Asgard?" ”
"Are you going back so soon? I just met my dad. "But can I take my dad back to Asgard with me?" ”
Without waiting for Goofy to answer, Odin immediately shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I won't go back to Asgard, Asgard is now prosperous under Thor's rule, and I don't need to meddle with it." ”
Thor was speechless - I'm Thor!
Goofy said solemnly: "Thor, Odin didn't tell Loki Hela about the existence, and now Loki doesn't know anything, and Asgard is also in an undefended situation, which is dangerous......"
Thor nodded seriously: "I understand that even if I don't consider my sister Hela, whom I have never met, I can't let Loki rule Asgard...... This in itself is dangerous. ”
Glancing back at Odin, who was nibbling on the big apple in his hand and gnawing the juice all over his beard, Thor's eyes showed a hint of reluctance.
He knew that his father's time was running out, and he longed to be by the old man's side every minute and every second, watching him giggle like a living treasure, and listening to him call himself Loki again and again.
But Thor had to return to Asgard, and he knew he had to.
Because it was his duty, it was his birthright obligation.
"When are we leaving?" Thor turned back and asked Goofy.
Goofy said, "It's best to leave now." Odin said that his strength is getting weaker and weaker, and in this case Hela could escape from the underworld at any time, which means that your sister is probably already on her way. ”
"Damn it!" Thor clenched his fists in frustration, "Then we have to leave right away." ”
After that, he had a headache: "But what about the Rainbow Bridge?" It's not Heimdall who is guarding the Rainbow Bridge now, it's Loki's people...... Loki, that guy won't let us in. ”
Goofy said, "I'm not familiar with Asgard enough, so I can't use my space magic directly. But if you tell me the coordinates of Asgard, I can have Reed send us there using the teleportation machine. ”
Thor rolled his eyes, suddenly shook his head and said, "No, I have another way." ”
After saying that, he turned to Odin, grabbed the old father's shoulders and shouted, "Father! Father! Asgard is in danger, teleport me to Asgard, I need to save my brother! Thor: He's in danger! ”
When Odin heard this, he hurriedly threw down the apple and said nervously: "Really? Is he in danger? ”
"Of course it's true, send me there!" Thor whispered, "I'm going to help my brother." ”
Odin wanted to laugh in his heart, but on the surface he fully cooperated with Thor's performance, and with a move of his right hand, the eternal spear Gangneel had already reached his hand.
"Then don't delay, let's go!"
Like Thor's future weapon, the Storm Tomahawk, Odin's Eternal Spear, with the blessing of Odin's divine power, can also directly open the Rainbow Bridge and reach Asgard.
Seeing Odin take out Gungnir, Thor hurriedly beckoned to Goofy.
"Let's go, Goofy!"
Goofy nodded and followed, and Valkyrie hurried over in three steps and two.
"And me!"
With a dazzling light falling, the three of them took the rainbow bridge opened by Odin at the same time.
And seeing that her father, who had just returned home not long ago, had disappeared again, Carrie sighed tiredly.
"This unreliable daddy...... It's a head-scratching ...... Looks like I'm going to have to take care of the demented old man again in the next few days......"
——————
At this moment.
Asgard.
The end and beginning of the Rainbow Bridge.
A few days after his appointment, the new guard, Skorch, was sitting in a pompous chair, chatting with several hot, good-looking Asgardian long-legged girls.
"I think back then, when I was fighting in Jotunheim, it was simply the god of war, killing him seven in and seven out of the giant pile without being hurt, single-handedly stabbing through the enemy's camp, and then cutting off their general's head and tying it to the belt of his trousers, and driving the aircraft back victoriously......"
"Even Thor, the god of thunder in Asgard, who is known for his bravery and good fighting, is polite when he sees me, and he has to give a thumbs up and shout 'true hero'!"
"But girls, the ability to kill people on the battlefield is only my second greatest skill, do you know what my first greatest skill is?"
Speaking of this, Skorch showed an obscene expression on his face, got up from the chair and twisted his hips: "My first big job, hehe, that's really a big job!" ”
Hearing this, several Asgardian girls couldn't help but blush, and then covered their mouths and laughed.
Before Skorch could continue to brag, suddenly the rainbow bridge lit up.
Skorch was startled and walked to the bridge with his sword.
"What's the situation? I haven't opened the Rainbow Bridge yet, so why did this thing start on its own? What the hell...... Is this thing buggy? ”
As soon as he finished speaking, three figures appeared from the light of the rainbow bridge, and the strong man standing in the C position was holding Thor's hammer, which was none other than Thor, the crown prince of Asgard.
"To, Thor?"
Scolch was a thief and stumbled and asked, "You, you...... How did you get back? ”
Thor strode forward, stretched out his left hand and lifted him up directly by the collar of Skoltsch, he forced his eyes into the guy's eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "You deliberately turned off the Rainbow Bridge in the middle of the day and made me fall off the Rainbow Bridge?" ”
"I ......" Skorch was so frightened that he almost peed, all his organs were shaking, and his voice seemed to vibrate, stammering uncontrollably.
"Yes, yes...... That is true...... The situation at that time was ...... The Rainbow Bridge broke down, and I didn't expect you to fall, and then I immediately informed His Majesty the King and asked him to go to the ......."
Before Skorch could finish his clumsy lie, Thor said in a deep voice, "Wait, your majesty is the king?" Who is His Majesty the King? ”
"His Majesty is His Majesty......," said Skorci timidly, "and I dare not speak out against him." ”
Thor could guess who Skorci was referring to as "His Majesty the King" even with his toes, and with a sneer, he snatched the sword from Skorch's hand, then opened the Rainbow Bridge and threw Skorch on it.
"I'm going to see if there's anything wrong with this rainbow bridge!"
Goofy and Valkyrie watched from the sidelines, gloating with schadenfreude.
And Skorch was simply frightened, and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty Thor, let me go!" I can't be blamed for this, it's His Majesty the King...... No, it's your brother Loki! Your brother Loki forced me to do it! I can't help it! ”
Halfway through the shout, Skorch was teleported.
And before he could go far, Thor closed the Rainbow Bridge directly.
"Ahh——!!!h
Skolch's screams faded away, and the poor creature disappeared into space.
Thor shook the hammer and sneered: "Let him also taste the taste of exile, anyway, the Asgardians are very honest and will not be easily led." ”
Gao Fei nodded in agreement: "That's right, this is indeed the fairest punishment for him." ”
Thor looked into the city of Asgard and said in a deep voice, "There are ...... It's time to inform the fake king that his plot is over! ”
With that, Thor glanced back at the Asgardian women who had been chatting with Skorch before, and the women were suddenly frightened by Thor's gaze and screamed in horror.
Thor snorted coldly: "What is it called!" I'm not here to beat you! It's none of your business......"
The women still did not dare to linger here, and hurriedly twisted their waists and fled to the city.
Thor took Goofy and Valkyrie all the way to the Imperial City.
Walking across an arched bridge, the three men came to the city of Asgard, a square where many Asgardians gathered.
When Valkyrie returned to Asgard for the first time in thousands of years, everything felt like yesterday, and as she passed the arched bridge, she thought about the scenery on which my lover and I had rowed......
But in a blink of an eye, it was thousands of years ago.
There were also memories of Valkyrie in the square, where their first kiss took place, and a little further east was Valhalla, where the Valkyries were once stationed.
Seeing a little tear in the corner of Valkyrie's eyes, Goofy asked keenly, "What, do you remember the past?" ”
"Hmm......" Valkyrie nodded slightly, but didn't say much.
At this moment, an abrupt voice sounded not far away.
"Nope! Loki! No! You can't die! ”
Goofy followed the prestige and saw a rudimentary stage in the center of the square, on which several Asgardians were performing a clumsy play.
The content of the drama seems to be the story of Loki and Thor teaming up to fight against the dark elves, the last scene of the story is Loki rescued the kidnapped Thor from the dark elves, and killed the number one fierce general of the dark elves, the cursed warrior, but then he was attacked by Malekith, but Loki was able to heroically kill Malekis when he was hit hard by the enemy, and then skillfully fell into Thor's arms......
At this time, the actor who played Thor was crying out heartbreakingly: "Loki! My brother! Save the hero of the Nine Realms, heir to the throne of Asgard! You can't die! You can't die!! ”
"Who will rule the Nine Realms when you die? Who will inherit his father's throne? Who will instruct me, this dull brother! ”
"Loki", who fell into the arms of "Thor", said weakly: "Brother, don't be so arrogant, you are not stupid, you are just not as good as me......"
"Come, let me give you a few words, and with my guidance, Asgard will remain prosperous for thousands of years to come......"
Hearing this terrible line, Thor almost blew the hammer in his hand. He was so angry that he turned back to Gao Fei and said, "Listen to this line, listen, is this a line written by your brain?" ”
Valkyrie joked: "I think this line is very true, very similar to the truth......
Thor resisted the urge to beat her up, and glanced at "Odin", who was sitting in a gazebo eating grapes not far away.
Of course, this "Odin" was changed by Loki.
You don't have to think about it to know that this cunning guy disguised himself as Odin after sending him to Earth, and in this way controlled Asgard.
Thor took a deep breath before turning to Goofy, "I'm sorry, I'm going to make you laugh, I have to take care of the housework." ”
With that, he picked up his hammer and flew in front of Odin, and then grabbed Odin by the collar and pulled him up from his seat.
When "Odin" saw Thor, his eyes widened with fright, and he spat out the grapes in his mouth and shouted, "Someone! Escort! Escort! ”
At the same time, he slapped Thor's chest and shouted in panic: "You unfilial son! What do you want? Your son beats Lao Tzu, aren't you afraid of thunder and thunder? ”
Thor had a black line on his face: "Lao Tzu is the god of thunder!" I'm afraid of your sister's thunder! ”
Then he picked up the hammer and said in a deep voice: "You should know the weight of my hammer, but if you were Odin, this hammer wouldn't hurt you, right?" ”
Seeing that the whistling Mjolnir was about to be chiseled into Odin's head, "Odin" hurriedly shouted to show his original form.
"Good, good...... You let me go, I admit I'm not Odin, okay? I admit I'm a fake ......"
Under the watchful eyes of the Asgardians in the entire square, Loki returned to his original appearance, he looked at the angry royal guards with a smile on his face, and said shyly: "Just kidding everyone, haha, just kidding...... You don't hold a grudge against me, do you? Although I impersonate Odin, I am still the prince of Asgard...... Hey hey ......"
Then he looked at Thor in shock, and pretended to be worried, and said, "Oh, my dear brother, you actually came back alive!" I couldn't be happier...... Because of the stupid operation of Skolch, the rainbow bridge closed unexpectedly, and then I heard that you were thrown into outer space, and I was going to die in a hurry! ”
However, before he could finish his sentence, his neck was firmly choked by Thor.
