Chapter 217: Infinite Battle (Part )
I'm afraid no one could have imagined it.
Loki actually tricked Odin.
The normal coronation ceremony that Asgard had spent a lot of time and energy planning for him seemed like a huge joke the moment the new king's crown fell to the ground.
Odin was furious, and his enormous divine power seemed to ignite the World Tree, causing the entire Nine Realms to fall into shaken.
The scope of the nine different dimensions far exceeds the Milky Way. Countless people who are well aware of Odin's powerful strength all recall at this moment the fear of being dominated by him thousands of years ago.
For a moment, they thought that this old man had finally torn off his disguise of benevolence and was planning to restore the glory of Asgard!
The major races in the universe are like this, and the guests from other dimensions within the Asgard are even more terrified.
The tall dwarf king was now pale, looking at the crown that had rolled to the ground with a deathly pale face.
He knew Odin's temper. Back then, the old man rode a horse alone from Asgard to Helheim and chopped down enemies. He even spared no effort to kill his own eldest daughter, not to mention his youngest son Loki, who was not very promising to begin with.
At this moment, he had already laid down on the ground, trying his best not to let Odin notice his mountain-like body.
If nothing unexpected happens, Loki will probably face severe punishment next.
But as expected, an accident happened.
Odin's anger came and went as quickly as lightning.
After the divine power that caused the universe to shake burst out, it disappeared in an instant, as if the wrath of thunder was just an illusion.
He sat back on his throne, like an old widower with no children around.
The ceremony ended abruptly.
Out of fear of Odin, no one dared to mention the name Loki again, and most of the gods or elves and dwarves who came from other dimensions to congratulate him went back.
Asgard became empty again.
Brunhilde was very happy to see Odin being humiliated. She was in such a good mood that her impression of Loki improved a lot.
Then he took several bottles of fairy wine and returned to Tiangong Society.
In order to deal with Thanos's Black Order, she, Keila and Bill are now training in Tiangong.
Among them, Kaila taught the Sakaar people how to use the eternal power, Brunhilde taught them fighting skills, and while Bill was transforming the huge battleship, he also performed a certain degree of physical transformation on some people who were determined to become warriors but had no talent.
Of course, this transformation can only be voluntary.
It would definitely not be possible to force an ignorant child to undergo transformation like the original Corbin people, and Bant would not allow it.
Brunhilde left, but Bant remained in Asgard.
He walked alone around Fairy Palace, with the grass, flowers and the scent of spring passing by him.
After the ceremony, Odin deliberately kept him, as if he had something to discuss with him.
However, due to the other party's previous anger, Odin fell into a weak state again, and the conversation was postponed for half a day.
So Bant found a secluded and quiet place, and while enjoying the scenery, he waited for Loki to show up.
Sure enough, not long after, familiar footsteps were heard behind Bant.
The air began to twist, and Loki's figure slowly emerged.
How dare he stay in Asgard after deceiving Odin.
"Well, I told you, this will be a legend, a great show and a prank!" Loki said proudly.
"Everyone thinks that I will naturally sit on the throne of Asgard, because in their opinion, this is what I desire, but they are wrong. I want to do the opposite of what they think."
Loki sat briskly on the railing. Below him was the Asgard Sea that flowed into the boundless universe at the end of the world.
Bant glanced at the head, then smiled and said, "It's good. The green robe suits you better. Hitting people with a hammer doesn't look like your style."
"You don't seem surprised at all?"
Loki said in surprise.
Everyone thought that he had given everything to get the throne, and even attempted to kill Thor and usurp the throne not long ago.
But when the throne was within his grasp, he threw it away.
As if the Lord of the Nine Realms is not worth mentioning.
But Bant knew otherwise.
He said: "The throne of Asgard is too small for you."
This made Loki feel a little embarrassed. He lowered his head, put his hand over the corner of his mouth, and said, "Not really, not really..."
"In fact, all I want is recognition. I just want to know whether he really loves me." Loki said, "Now that I know the answer, nothing else matters. Let Thor take the throne, otherwise he will be too pitiful."
As he spoke, Loki seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "Oh, by the way, now that I have fooled that old guy, he must be furious and very disappointed in me because I have humiliated him..."
"If I'm caught by him, he might skin me alive. So, I think Tian Gong should be able to take me in for a while, right?"
Bant said. "If you had left with Brunhilde, you would have reached Sakaar by now."
"Do you think Heimdall is blind?" Loki said immediately.
You also know that they are not blind?
Bant rolled his eyes.
It would be strange if Odin didn't notice Loki's little trick.
Not to mention that his magic spells were all taught by Frigga, so could the so-called illusion deceive the eyes of the Queen of Gods?
Just as Bant thought.
After Loki left from his hiatus in Asgard, Odin and Frigga met with Bant again.
This meeting was not between two kings, but between a pair of parents and their children's friends.
Therefore, the topics of discussion between the two sides basically revolved around Thor and Loki.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Odin smiled and said, "He trusts you very much, and even relies on you. So when this little prank succeeded, he immediately couldn't wait to find you."
Obviously, Odin was not angry at all about Loki's action, and his previous anger was just a disguise.
"I am proud of him, but you know, as a father and as a king, sometimes I cannot show this pride." Odin said bitterly.
"Even if Loki lifted Thor's hammer and could legitimately become the God King of Asgard, there were still many people in Asgard who were not convinced. Many people stubbornly believed that the throne of God King must belong to Thor, and Loki was just a thief who stole Thor's glory.
"Loki doesn't care on the surface, but he's very sensitive on the inside."
At this point, Odin showed a regretful expression like an old father.
"It's all my fault for not educating them well when they were young."
He sighed, and his memory went back more than a thousand years.
At that time, he told Thor and Loki: Both of you are my children, but only one of you can become the king of Asgard.
Perhaps it was from that time that this sentence was deeply imprinted in Loki's heart, especially when he knew that Thor was Odin's biological son.
After raising Thor's hammer and becoming the king of gods, Loki felt in his heart that he had stolen everything from Thor.
"This is not a prank." Frigga felt heartbroken and relieved for her little son. "He wanted to use this method to legitimately lose his qualification to inherit the throne and leave everything to Thor."
Odin nodded.
It was also because of this that, at the coronation ceremony, he cooperated with Loki and used his divine power to move the World Tree to create the illusion of anger.
However, although he was proud and proud of his children.
In my heart, I feel extremely painful for the mistakes I made.
At this time, Bant told Loki that the throne of Asgard was too small for him.
Seemingly simple words, but they meant a lot to Loki.
"Perhaps there is only one God-King in Asgard, but my two sons... they were both born to be kings." Odin whispered.
After a long time, he wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes and took out Thor's hammer.
"Since Loki has put down the hammer, let it remain in Midgard."
After saying this, Odin threw his hammer.
Then he added: "I am very glad that Loki has a friend like you. As a parent, I don't know how to express my gratitude, but as the king of Asgard, I do have something to give you."
Odin stood up.
He did not mention at all that Bant had taken the Destroyer and the Ice Box, but instead took Bant to the treasure house of Asgard.
Soon after.
With the radiance of black magic, the Rainbow Bridge once again crossed the universe and sent Bant and Thor back to Earth.
Loki left, but Thor was still the one who was not qualified to be king.
In fact, compared to his initial self, Thor has grown a lot.
He understood that a king should not always think about war, but should protect his people and those he loves.
But the problem is that after going through so many things, Thor has lost his spirit.
It is true that he is no longer radical, but he has also become cowardly. He doubts himself and denies himself. Now, it is no longer Thor's hammer that has rejected him, but he himself has rejected Thor's hammer.
Loki had come out, but he didn't.
Returning to Earth once again, what Thor felt was not humiliation, but relief.
Especially after Loki left, everyone came to Thor and said that they all believed that Thor was the one who should be king.
This made him feel extremely stressed and almost suffocated.
He was relieved to be back on Earth.
Here, no one knew his past, no one lamented that the former Thor had become what he is now, and no one expected a disqualified person like him to shoulder such a heavy responsibility.
Looking at Bant who came to Earth with him, Thor did not recognize him as the Four-Armed Overlord in New Mexico. Instead, he recognized him as a student from Midtown High School whom he met once when he was swinging a sledgehammer at a construction site.
"I didn't expect that you actually knew Loki, and even my father respected you very much."
He said slightly embarrassedly: "So, you are the King of Sakaar..."
Thor had never heard of Sakaar.
But he also knew how valuable a king recognized by Odin was.
"The identity of King of Sakaar is not worth mentioning," Bant shook his head. In fact, this title came from the heartfelt recognition of those Sakaar people, rather than Bant taking the initiative to assume the identity of king.
His real position is Chief of Security of Tiangong.
"You can call me Bant Parker, or call me the sheriff of the Tiangong Association." Bant gave him a badge of the Tiangong Association.
"If you run into any trouble, you can use this to contact me."
Although Odin never asked Bant to help take care of his other son, Bant had accepted Odin's favor and naturally felt obliged to do so.
Perhaps he had foreseen the twilight of the gods, so Odin was very generous this time, allowing Bant to choose almost anything in the treasury.
However, in front of a God-King, Bant did not appear too greedy.
"Let me take you back. By the way, if you can't find a job, you can also come to Primos to apply."
Bant left him a business card.
Saul didn't understand any of this. He casually stuffed the business card into his pocket and couldn't wait to find Jane Foster.
At that time, he left the asylum without saying goodbye, and Jane Foster might have thought he was dead.
After returning to Asgard, Thor now misses his lover very much.
Bant returned to the Hammer Bureau.
The adjustment period between the Avengers and members of the Tiangong Association has passed in the past few days.
Everyone also began to get used to cooperative combat among teammates, and because the planet Morag was still covered by sea water at this moment, they also practiced water combat.
At this moment, on the deck of the Sky Hammer Bureau's mothership, six people landed on a small spaceship one after another.
This spaceship was the Sakaar Messenger that Loki took to Earth a few months ago. The spaceship was equipped with the engines of the Tetraman people, which was enough to cross the stars in a short time.
Everyone is excited about traveling into space.
Peter was very excited. Venom introduced all kinds of knowledge about the universe to him in his mind. Of course, most of it was just nonsense and there was not much credible content.
T'Challa was also a little excited, but he was much more restrained.
After all, he is a prince, so he can't be too startled.
Captain America is not as lively as them. He is worried and all he thinks about is the enemy he might encounter next.
A heavy burden rested on his shoulders.
As for Felicia and Bant, they had already found a separate space to stay together.
Looking at the stars in the universe, Felicia felt as if her heart was filled with something.
The gorgeous nebula floats quietly in the universe like colorful mist, and the golden vortex spreads out like wings.
Every twinkling light in the universe is a star’s narration of time over billions of years.
Felicia felt that if the starlight was eternal, then the hand she was holding around Bant at this moment would also be eternal.
