Loki: "Pawning Odin should give me enough points to amplify my strength."
Although temporary pawning yielded fewer points than permanent pawning, after all, the object being pawned was Odin, Lord of the Nine Realms—someone with Skyfather-level power.
So even with temporary pawning, the points were considerable.
Not to mention there was also Odin's Vault.
There were so many things in there. If he didn't pawn them, someone else would—might as well turn them into the foundation for his strengthening.
With all those points, surely he could reach power not inferior to Odin's?
With that strength, what was there to fear?
Not just his foolish brother Thor—even that Purple Potato Head wouldn't stand a chance!
And that big green brute!
Daring to treat him like that!
He was a god!
The scene of the Hulk slamming him into the ground over and over flashed through Loki's mind, and he couldn't help but clench his teeth!
A humiliation!!!
Ordinary Group Leader: "Inheriting Odin as King of the Nine Realms?"
Ordinary Group Leader: "That would require at least Skyfather-level strength."
How strong was Odin, exactly? The movies never truly showed it—but his opponents made it easy to extrapolate.
First, there was Laufey, King of the Frost Giants, who possessed power sufficient to freeze a planet with the Casket of Ancient Winters.
Yet Odin defeated him, losing only one eye in the process—and that was in the movie universe. In actual mythology, Odin had blinded himself.
His own Casket of Ancient Winters had been taken by Odin.
Then there was Fire Giant Surtur, whose power in the movies was beyond formidable—and he too was Odin's defeated foe.
Odin hadn't defeated Surtur pre-fusion with the Eternal Flame. The Eternal Flame had been stripped from Surtur.
Whether Odin defeated them through direct combat or some other means, his strength was beyond question.
After all, even scheming required strength to execute.
And Su Yunqing didn't think it was merely scheming—if it were, there was no reason no one would dare act while Odin was awake.
For Loki to inherit Odin and become King of the Nine Realms, he needed at least Skyfather-level strength.
Of course, since both Laufey and Surtur's schemes were related to Loki to some degree, as long as Loki kept the peace, they wouldn't cause trouble.
Currently, the main obstacle—besides Thor—was Odin's eldest daughter, Hela, Goddess of Death.
Her power was bound to Asgard. Within Asgard, her strength was vastly amplified.
Even if Loki reached Skyfather level, it would be impossible to defeat her.
Unless he destroyed Asgard.
But Loki would never do that.
So the only way to deal with Hela was through sealing.
Ordinary Group Leader: "Odin, Odin's Vault, Asgard's technology and magic—putting together a Skyfather level should be no problem."
Ordinary Group Leader: "After all, there's so much good stuff in Odin's Vault. There's even a supposedly fake Infinity Gauntlet—even if it's fake, it's probably worth quite a few points."
Ordinary Group Leader: "And that's not even mentioning the Eternal Flame and the Casket of Ancient Winters."
So many items—if they couldn't push even one Skyfather level out of this, that would be truly absurd!
After all, even Odin himself—a Skyfather—was included.
Richest Man: "My goodness—he's not just pawning Odin, he's not planning to spare Odin's Vault either."
Cook Daigu Into Soup: "Isn't that normal?"
Cook Daigu Into Soup: "If you're pawning Odin, what's there to be shy about with the Vault?"
Richest Man: "thumbs up.jpg"
Richest Man: "That logic is sound."
Tony himself was somewhat envious. How come he didn't have resources as good as Loki's?
Though he did have a dedicated channel for earning points now, compared to what was in Odin's Vault, it still fell far short.
The Eternal Flame and Casket of Ancient Winters, while not as valuable as the Infinity Stones, weren't far behind either.
Not to mention there was an actual Odin.
Speaking of which—his world's Thor storyline hadn't even started yet. Did he have a chance to recoup Odin's Vault too?
Even if he didn't, those items would cease to exist anyway due to Hela and Loki. Thor probably didn't care about them—he only cared about that hammer of his.
Hmm... he'd see if there was an opportunity later.
As repayment, he'd help Thor deal with Hela and Surtur, and do his best to ensure Asgard wouldn't meet the same destruction as in the memory copies.
He definitely couldn't do that now, but in a little while, it would be harder to say.
The legacy of the Sorcerer Supreme Tony Stark from the parallel world.
No one else who practiced it would reach his level—but with the legacy and the chat group, he was confident he'd possess strength not inferior to the Ancient One when that Hela arc came.
Loki: "Odin's Vault?"
Loki: "What Odin's Vault? I'm the king of Asgard now—it's Loki's Vault."
Loki: "Pawning my own things is only natural."
What Odin's Vault? It had changed owners now.
Loki's Vault—that was its current name!
Odin?
Before he pawned Odin, the Supreme Throne was only his by代理 because Odin had fallen into Odinsleep.
But now that he'd pawned Odin, there was no longer any Odin in this world.
He was the true king of Asgard—master of the Supreme Throne.
Odin's Vault naturally had to become Loki's Vault.
But he wouldn't truly permanently pawn Odin. When he had used his own talents to govern Asgard in perfect order, brought the entire Nine Realms back under his dominion, and everyone revered and admired him—
When they believed his achievements had surpassed Odin's—he would redeem Odin.
However, temporary pawning had a time limit. He had to remember to first redeem Odin before pawning him again—no, *temporarily pawning* him—over and over.
Until he achieved his goals.
At that point, even if Odin awoke and saw a thriving scene, he couldn't possibly blame Loki, right?
If he truly blamed him, or even tried to overthrow his rule, Loki would be delighted.
That way he could finally say those words:
"Father King, why rebel?"
Hahahahaha!
Just thinking of such a scene was enough to bring a joyful smile to Loki's face.
By then, his Father King should display a rather interesting expression, don't you think?
Hahahahaha!
Seeing Loki's words in the chat group, everyone couldn't help but voice their吐槽.
My goodness—he hadn't even pawned Odin yet, and he'd already renamed the vault.
So devoted!
