Chapter 112: Loki's Alternate Script
Looking at the group cheering with Thor, Leo took advantage of the time waiting for Phil to clean up the mess and thought quietly.
Starting with Thor's banishment, no, it should have been earlier, starting with the appearance of the frost giants in the arsenal, and Odin, who sensed the appearance of traitors in the God's Domain, began to lay out.
According to what Mjörnir recounted, they had to use the Rainbow Bridge to go to Jotunheim, the land of the Frost Giants, and the keeper of the bridge was Heimdall, who was always loyal to the king, so why did they let Heimdall listen to Thor's order to open the Rainbow Bridge for them at that time, just by the words of Thor, who was not the king at the time?
And when Odin brought them back from Jotunheim, Heimdall hadn't been punished for 'privately' opening the Rainbow Bridge for them? It's incredible, and if there's one explanation for it, it's that Heimdall opened the Rainbow Bridge for them at Odin's behest!
Later, in order to make Thor a qualified successor, Odin's behavior of banishing Thor with a strong purpose shows that he never gave up on Thor, all of this is just for Thor to experience, so as to explain why the destroyer was silent under Thor's blow, because this is just an experience, and there is no need to fight life and death.
As for Loki's prevention of Thor returning to Asgard, in Leo's opinion, it was nothing more than one of the most common reasons in the royal family - the king's throne.
You must know that the destroyer can only be used by those who have the Eternal Spear, so that is to say, something should have happened to the current Odin, no, it should be Odin who used what reason to make others think that something had happened to him, so that in addition to Thor, the most qualified Loki has a legitimate reason to accept the Eternal Spear and become the temporary king of Asgard.
At this time, Odin, who took some measures to avoid everyone's vision and pushed Loki to the front of the stage, also had a lot of time to observe the hidden dangers that appeared when he was 'away'.
In this way, there is a reasonable excuse to exile Thor for his training, and he can also fade out of people's sight, observe the threat that arises in Asgard, and even take the opportunity to observe the actions of Loki, who is the temporary king, why not?
Thinking of this, Leo couldn't help but feel a burst of sadness for Loki, obviously Loki's efforts to prevent Thor from returning to the God's Domain were all seen by Odin, after knowing what Loki did, Odin did not stop it, but let him let it go, in doing so, presumably Odin used Loki as a touchstone before Thor became King of Asgard!
At this time, Leo, who was curious and guessing the ins and outs of the matter, did not guess that in the whole thing that Mjörnir told him, the frost giant that appeared in the arsenal at the beginning was actually put in by Loki, and Thor went to Jotunheim was also instigated by Loki......
Asgard.
In the moment of silence of the Destroyer, Loki's face darkened, he knew that when Thor took back his power and learned from Sif that he had lied to his father to die, he would definitely return to Asgard desperately, and he was powerless to stop his return......
"Since I can't stop Thor's return, then I can only strengthen my weight in my father's eyes, so that I can get more opportunities to inherit the throne before Thor's return, so that I can only use the previous backup script......" Thinking of this, Loki's narrow eyes closed, and after exhaling deeply, his eyes opened again with a hint of crazy determination.
"Let me be your savior, Father! Then destroy Jotunheim, who has always been on the opposite side of Asgard! ”
Whispering softly, Loki looked at his palm that was about to be stained with the blood of the Frost Giant, his face was expressionless, but if he looked closely, he would faintly see a trace of struggle under Loki's eyes.
Yes, Loki is struggling, because of who he is, he's struggling.
During the battle with the Frost Giant before Thor was banished, Loki had deep doubts about his identity because he would not be hurt by the frost giant's cold, and he later confirmed his identity as the Frost Giant from Odin.
Yes, it's so ridiculous that the true identity of a man who grew up in Asgard and is the son of Odin is the Frost Giant, Asgard's sworn enemy!
"No, I'm not a frost giant! I am Loki, son of Odin! Asgardians! In a whisper, Loki, who completely denied his identity as a frost giant, clenched his palms into fists, and finally made up his mind to lose the last trace of struggle!
Now that he has made up his mind, every second counts, and he must finish the script he has arranged before Thor returns.
After Loki went to Earth to meet Thor, before the four of them went to Earth to find Thor, Loki arranged a backup script......
Using the power of the interim king, he ordered Heimdall to deliver it to Jotunheim by the rainbow bridge, and after using the power of the Ice Box to block Jotunheim's all-seeing gaze, he made a deal with Laufey, the king of the ice giants......
That is, he used the Ice Crate that the Frost Giants wanted to get back as a condition bait, and promised Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants, to return the Ice Crate to Jotunheim after their Frost Giants 'killed' his father Odin and he became the King of Asgard!
Of course, this is just a 'verbal agreement' between him, Loki, and Laufe, the Lord of Frost......
And Loki's real plan is that at the moment when the Frost Giant kills Odin, he will save him as Odin's savior, then kill the invading Frost Giant, and finally destroy Jotunheim with the Rainbow Bridge in one fell swoop, thus becoming a hero who destroys his old enemy! In this way, he became Odin's savior and became a hero of Asgard, and he sat in the position of King of Asgard!
That's Loki's alternate script......
Asgard, on the Rainbow Bridge.
Heimdall knew about Odin's experience with Thor, so after he 'saw' Loki's behavior of going to Earth to deceive Thor, he let Sif and them go to Earth, intending to let them tell Thor the truth, thus rekindling Thor's determination to return to Asgard.
And just now, Heimdall, the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, who had seen the Destroyer almost kill Thor in his 'eyes', couldn't help but show an interrogating and questioning look at Loki, who had just hurried to him.
You know, the reason he opened the rainbow bridge to Earth for the Destroyer was because Loki said that it was necessary to test whether Leo, who had great power in his hands and was recognized by Mjölnir, would become a threat to Asgard, but that was not the case now......
"You're so good at lying! Loki! What do you want to do now!? ”
Hearing this, Loki, who knew that Heimdall had 'seen' what had happened to the destroyer and Thor, smiled slightly and did not answer. After all, if he wanted to open the Rainbow Bridge and let the Frost Giant, one of the protagonists of the script, enter the stage of Asgard, the first hurdle to pass was the Guardian Haydamel, so why should he waste his energy on Heimdall, who would inevitably clash with him, at this critical juncture.
Therefore, in the next moment, in Heimdall's vigilant gaze, an ice-blue ice box suddenly appeared between Loki's hands, and then a large amount of ice energy erupted, freezing Heimdall, who still wanted to resist and raised his sword to stab, into an ice sculpture, Loki used the key to open the Rainbow Bridge, that is, Heimdall's sword, to activate the Rainbow Bridge.
