Soon after, on top of the palace of Asgard.

"Father, do you really want to fight that Midgardian?"

Dressed in a gorgeous suit and two strange helmets that looked like antlers, Loki couldn't help but ask his father.

"That's right, after this fight, whether I win or lose, I may ......"

At this moment, Odin looked at his adopted child with a kind face, giving him the love of a father for the first time.

"So, no matter what the outcome is, don't avenge me."

"Loki, my dear child, I know you have an incredibly brilliant mind, but I hope you will use it in the future to help your brother rebuild Asgard."

Odin did not have the fear of dying in his face.

He was just a little worried about Asgard's future.

After all, at this time, neither his own son Thor, nor Loki, who was adopted by himself, actually did not really grow up.

I don't know how they can face their eldest daughter who is about to break the seal.

"Father, I have a way."

Suddenly, Loki, who was contemplating, apparently hadn't listened carefully to Odin's instructions just now.

Instead, he suddenly said with a look full of excitement.

"Father, we can unite the other powerful races in the Nine Realms, such as the Frost Giants and the Dark Elves, all of whom once coveted the land of Midgard?"

"As long as we promise victory, we will give them the territory of Midgard, and then unite them to declare war on Earth."

"Then no matter how powerful that Midgard is, it is impossible to protect all the weak humans above the entire Midgard."

"At that time, the blood will stain the land of Midgard red, and the entire Nine Realms will know the strength of our Asgard, and no one will dare to provoke ...... again"

Loki laid out all the plans he had in mind, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.

I can't wait to join in this glorious battle for Asgard.

"What's more, after our victory, we can also use Midgard's territory to provoke a war between the Frost Giants and the Dark Elves, and when the time comes, no other race can threaten our status as the Lord of the Nine Realms of Asgard......"

Loki, the god of trickery, thought of this trick almost in the blink of an eye.

However, he was excited, but he didn't notice that his father Odin and mother Frigga were looking at him at this time, full of an inexplicable meaning.

"Hey, Loki, it's my neglect of teaching you that made you who you are."

Odin, who was close to death, was no longer too harsh on Loki, but there was a trace of remorse in his loving eyes.

"You must know that a wise monarch will never take the initiative to provoke war."

"Even if war does come, it will be faced with dignity and courage, not with intrigue and trickery...... It took me all my life to understand this, but unfortunately ......"

Odin looked at Loki and slowly spoke, trying to pull him back from his misguided journey.

However, at this moment, Loki is like a child in the rebellious period.

His eyes looked at Odin angrily.

"Why don't you understand me? It's all for you, for us, for Asgard, for the thousands of people living here! ”

"Heh, it must be because of Thor, from childhood to adulthood, you only have him in your eyes, as if I am not his brother at all, your son!"

The angry Loki pointed to Odin to vent his anger that he had not been valued since he was a child.

"Loki, that's enough!"

Frigga finally couldn't take it anymore and stopped Loki.

"Humph! One day, I will prove for myself that you are all wrong, and that I am more fit to inherit the throne of Asgard than that stupid brother. ”

The next moment, Loki walked away without hesitation.

……

In the main hall, there was silence.

It was a long time before Odin spoke quietly.

"How's Thor?"

"He was seriously injured, but his life was not in danger, and even the divine power in his body was constantly increasing, repairing his damaged body."

"Maybe the next time he wakes up, he'll be even stronger than before."

Frigga opened her mouth to tell her where Thor was now.

"That's good, but unfortunately, I don't know if he can really come out of the successive failures."

Odin is not worried about Thor's physical injury, but only about his heart, whether he can accept his defeat.

"Luckily, you're still here."

Odin looked at Frigga as if to ask.

"Is there really no other way?"

Looking at her husband, who had once crisscrossed the Nine Realms, Friggya's eyes were full of reluctance.

"I used to be arrogant and fantasized that I could completely conquer the entire Nine Realms, and even the entire universe."

"For this reason, I even did not hesitate to ask the dwarves to create a special weapon to collect the mysterious Infinity Stones......"

"However, then I suddenly woke up and understood that my relatives are what my heart desires, and I will protect the important things for my life."

"But as I get older, that passion is gone."

"Sometimes, I even fantasize that if I just keep alive, maybe the prophesied Ragnarok will come later......"

Staring into the void, Odin gradually fell into a long memory.

"But this time, I am not going to hide any longer, I want to bravely face death as the king of the gods, so that the creatures of the Nine Realms can feel the majesty of being the Lord of the Nine Realms again."

"The glory of my father will always shine on Asgard, and Valhalla, which represents the supreme glory, will eventually have my place."

……

"Inflexible old fellow."

Leaving the main hall, Loki slowly walked up to the Rainbow Bridge.

Looking at the space-time wormhole leading to the universe under the rainbow bridge, a thought suddenly rose in Loki's heart to stay away from Asgard.

But the next moment, he put away this thought, and kept backing away, away from the edge of the rainbow bridge.

And turned around directly, ready to leave the Rainbow Bridge.

"That's right, since you don't approve of me, then I'll use everything I have to protect all of Asgard."

But in the next second, Loki's figure paused, and his eyes gradually became firm.

"Prove to you that you are all wrong! Miss by a mile! ”

Then he turned around without hesitation, ran, jumped down at the edge of the rainbow bridge, and instantly fell into the abyss under the rainbow bridge.

Engulfed by a space-time wormhole.

"Loki, don't!"

Odin felt Loki fall into a space-time wormhole, and his face was full of sadness.

However, he didn't have time to stop it, let alone stop Loki's inner insistence.

"Today is really a difficult day......

Odin slowly closed his eyes, trying to suppress his emotions.

A few days later, in the sky above the earth, a figure came across the Nine Realms.

The golden glow covered almost the entire sky.

"Humans, my king of gods, lord of Asgard, Odin, come to the appointment!"
