Chapter Ninety-Seven: Odin's Son
"Father of the Gods!"
In Titan City, in the central square, Loki, Sif, and Solziqi, who had finally regained some strength, knelt down on one knee in front of Odin, bowed his head, and refused to say a word.
"Get up!"
Odin's voice was flat and a little indifferent, and the three of them were shocked when they heard it, knowing that this father of the gods, who had ruled Asgard for thousands of years, was really angry.
Suddenly, a resounding slap hit Thor in the face, leaving the weakened Thor stumbling and nearly falling to the ground again.
"Father!"
"Lord God-King!"
Odin's sudden attack startled Loki and Sif, and they exclaimed, and hurriedly supported Thor, who was unsteady on his feet, from the left and right.
Thor, who finally stood firm with the help of Loki and Sif finally raised his head, looked at his father with some grievances, his lips twitched twice, and finally he didn't say anything.
However, looking at Thor's expression, Odin knew that the slap just now had not woken him up, and until now, he had not discovered his mistake.
"Don't you know what you're doing wrong?"
Thor hesitated for a moment before lowering his head and said in a deep voice: "It's my lack of strength that has brought shame on the glory of Asgard by losing to a Midgard mortal twice in a row!" β
As soon as Odin heard this, he knew that his son's education for decades had failed, and Thor had been successfully educated by himself to become a qualified warrior, but he was going further and further on the road of king and monarch.
Sighing, Odin said, "No, you're wrong. Since you were a child, I wanted to educate you to be a wise monarch, a promising monarch, but look at what you have done in Xcel! β
"In the tribe of the Double-Horned Clan, in order to show your strength, you injured more than ten people of the Double-Horned Clan, this kind of bullying behavior, is this the behavior of a Ming Jun!"
"In Titan City, you ignore the traditions of other peoples and come to challenge them late at night; In the battle of Bisteim, he was helped without words of gratitude, this kind of ungrateful behavior, is this the act of a wise king! β
"Discovering the naturally formed anti-gravity field, concealing his companions, and risking his own exploration, this reckless and greedy behavior is the act of a Ming Jun!"
"In today's battle with this Midgardian, you are arrogant in your words, and you don't know how to make trade-offs, for your own sake...... Ahem! The more Odin spoke, the more agitated he became, and he let out a violent cough. Pushing away Loki, who wanted to support him, with one hand, Odin continued: "For the sake of treasures that you can't control, you even risk your life, this kind of coveting treasures is the act of a wise king!" β
Odin's words were like a sharp sword, piercing Thor's heart, and at this time, Thor realized that since he came to Xcel, he had been making mistakes, and they were all big mistakes.
"Don't you want a treasure? Don't you want power? Odin stretched out his hand, and a burst of blue-white lightning slashed down from the sky, and when the lightning dissipated, a quaint hammer was held by Odin in his hand, and it was Mjornir, Thor's hammer.
"Mjolnir!"
"MjΓΆlnir!"
Loki and Sif exclaimed at the same time, this artifact of Asgard has not had an owner for hundreds of years, and it has been hidden deep at the bottom of the Asgard arsenal, but I didn't expect Odin to bring it out today.
With a wave of Odin's hand, Thor's hammer smashed at Thor's feet, saying, "Mjolnir, Mjernir, Mjolnir, forged from the core of a dying star, is unrivaled in power, it is a weapon for destruction, and a tool for construction, which only a person of good character can lift. Originally, I wanted to entrust you with this weapon worthy of the king's status after you graduated from the academy and when you became an adult. β
Hearing Odin say this, Thor's face showed a trace of surprise, and Loki, who was standing beside him, although his expression did not change, but his heart was turbulent. All along, Loki knew that his father preferred his eldest son, his elder brother Thor, but what Loki didn't expect was that he had already been kicked out by Odin in the succession to the throne, and before he could start competing with Thor, Odin had already chosen the next king of Asgard. In fact, Loki also knew in his heart that he was not so eager for the throne, but this trip to Xel made Loki discover that his brother was not suitable to be a king, and he would only use his stupid behavior to ruin the countless years of efforts of Asgard's countless ancestors. However, his father didn't even give him a chance to be treated equally, and he had long intended to give up the throne to Thor, which made Loki very uncomfortable.
Just when Loki's mind was spinning, he heard Odin say: "Thor, you give it a try, see if you can still pick up MjΓΆlnir now, whether you are still worthy of it, see if your character can still be recognized by it!" β
Thor subconsciously bent down, held the hammer of Thor with one hand, and used his arm hard, but the hammer of Thor did not move at all. If one hand doesn't work, he changes his hands, and then Thor bends his knees slightly, grips the handle of Thor's hammer with both hands, and uses all his strength to pick up this artifact, but Thor's hammer still stops on the ground, and there is no sign of even the slightest movement.
Finally, Thor sat down on the ground, staring blankly at the hammer of Thor in front of him, without saying a word.
Looking at the depressed Thor, although Odin was a little unbearable, he had to teach Thor a profound lesson this time. Odin knew that he was old, and although the divine power in his body was still abundant, the erosion of thousands of years had made his body no longer strong and full of energy, and it was time to choose a new king for Asgard. Although Thor has revealed quite a few shortcomings during his trip to Axel, it is not a good thing, at least better than revealing them after he succeeds as king. As long as Thor can make amends, in Odin's mind, he will still be the best successor to the king.
"Hello, young Midgardian!" Odin turned his head, looked at Bucky with a serious expression and asked, "Do you know what that dark red fluid is that enters your body?" β
"It's coming!"
Bucky was slightly alarmed, a little worried that Odin would snatch the aether particles that had been absorbed by the Infinity Heart. However, concealment had no effect at this time, and Adin must have recognized this treasure that had almost plunged the entire World Tree into darkness. Bucky said directly and frankly: "I know, it is the aether particle, the treasure of the dark elf clan thousands of years ago. β
"You are no ordinary Midgard, and as far as I know, Midgard does not tell the story of the Dark Elves." After taking a deep look at Bucky, Odin continued: "Since you know that it is an aether particle, you must also know the danger of this treasure, and I don't know if you are willing to hand it over to our Aesir Protoss for safekeeping. β
"I'm sorry, I can't do that."
What Bucky said he couldn't do was really impossible, and if he wanted to take away the aether particles from the Infinite Heart, not only Bucky couldn't do it, but even Odin couldn't do it. As he said this, Bucky's muscles were already tense, and if Odin was to snatch the aether particles, he wouldn't sit still.
However, to Bucky's surprise, Odin just smiled and said, "You are indeed an unusual Midgardian, I can't see through you, I hope you can take care of the aether particle and not let it threaten the peace of the Nine Divine Kingdoms again." β
After saying that, Odin no longer paid attention to Bucky, but said solemnly to Thor: "Xcel is the common place of exile of our nine gods, Thor, in view of your mistakes this time, I, the God King of Asgard and the father of the gods, Odin, have decreed that I will exile you to Xel until you regain the approval of MjΓΆlnir!" β
Without giving the others a chance to speak, the rainbow bridge that fell from the sky enveloped Odin and Loki and Sif beside him, teleporting them directly back to Asgard, leaving only the blind-eyed Thor and the intricate circular pattern burning slightly on the ground.
"Holy! Just gone? I said yes, borrow me the Rainbow Bridge and return to Earth! Thor promised! Bucky threw his head back and shouted at the sky. Bucky didn't expect Odin to leave like this, and he didn't even give himself the opportunity to borrow the Rainbow Bridge.
"The rainbow bridge of the Aesir Protoss is really convenient, but Odin is too stingy, and he doesn't know how to leave some compensation for destroying our ground." Rodney walked out of the crowd and with a wave of his hand, the ground damaged by the Rainbow Bridge was restored to its original state.
"It's really stingy, he must know that Thor has promised to borrow the Rainbow Bridge for us to use, but he didn't even mention it, and just left! Lord Corage, Captain Rodney, something so big has happened, why didn't you show up just now? Bucky asked Rodney, confused. Odin can be said to be the first person in the scope of the World Tree, so he should show up for the two first-in-command and second-in-command of Titan City, Reggie and Rodney.
"Who said we didn't show up!" Rodney pointed to Thor who was still sitting on the ground with a dull expression, and said in a low voice: "We have communicated with Odin with spiritual power, and as a condition for the Eternals to operate within the scope of the World Tree, Odin wants us to take proper care of that silly boy. β
"Thor really has a good father!" Bucky couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"Boy, follow me."
Kereji looked solemn and pulled Bucky out of the crowd before asking seriously: "Boy, tell me the truth, what is that aether particle, why did I feel similar power in Thanos?" β
"What? Powers similar to Thanos? Rodney, who came up, also changed his face when he heard Craigie's words, and his eyes looked at Bucky a little solemnly.
ββββββββββββββββββ
Tell me about Thor's age and whether or not he should have Thor's hammer now.
According to the movie "Thor 1", the war between the Aesir and the Frost Giants should have taken place in 900+ AD, after the victory of the Aesir Protoss, Odin adopted Loki, and Thor should be slightly older than Loki. But pretending to be a pig really can't accept a Thor who has lived for 1,000 years and is still like this2, so in this book he defines Thor as a young man who is less than 100 years old.
Then the world of Marvel cannot be calculated according to the timeline of Norse mythology, Norse mythology has the legend of Thor, but Norse mythology also has the twilight of the gods, so at most Norse mythology is understood as the legend of the Aesir gods left on the earth in another parallel time and space, which is not the same as today's time and space.
Finally, let's talk about the Minions. Book friends, I really don't understand, why writing a Marvel novel will be defined by you as admiring the foreign, I don't know if you're affected by the recent situation or if you're a super angry young man yourself, anyway, I can't agree with people like you. Writing a Marvel novel is to worship the foreign, so isn't writing a Xianxia novel anti-science, and writing a historical novel is not a restoration of feudalism......
OMG, then everyone should not write novels, don't read novels!
