Under Loki's watchful eye,
Laufey, the Frost Giant King who had injured Frigga and was also Loki's biological father, walked arrogantly towards Odin, dagger in hand.
There was no resistance whatsoever.
And Odin?
He remained in Odin Sleep, lying peacefully, unable to react at all.
"They say that even like this, you can still see and hear."
"I hope it's true."
"Because then you'll know that you died by Laufey's hand."
Laufey forcibly pried open one of Odin's eyes, uttered these triumphant words, and then suddenly raised the dagger high in his hand.
He thrust it down fiercely,
intending to take Odin's life in one swift move!
Whoosh!
But at this critical moment,
an incredibly scorching energy blast suddenly shot out from the side, instantly knocking Laufey to the ground.
Loki, wielding the Eternal Spear, made a grand entrance.
It must be said, he truly had an air of dominance.
"And you, you die by the son of Odin!"
Whoosh!
With another flick of the Eternal Spear, Loki delivered an additional blow to the already severely wounded Laufey.
Poor Laufey was thus backstabbed by his own son and utterly reduced to dust.
This was not an exaggeration, but an objective description.
Laufey was truly "turned to ashes" and completely vanished from the world.
"Loki!"
Frigga got up from the ground and rushed to Loki's side, both surprised and delighted, "You saved your Father!"
Seeing Frigga's relieved and happy expression, Loki couldn't help but feel incredibly excited.
He was going to win back his parents' love, step by step.
"Mother, I swear to you, they will pay for what they have done!"
Loki vowed to Frigga with conviction.
"Loki, it's good that your Father is alright."
Frigga thought Loki was just speaking harshly, after all, how could the Frost Giants be so easily dealt with?
Especially with Asgard in such chaos now.
How could she have known that her son had actually made all the preparations?
"Mother, leave everything to me!"
Loki was brimming with confidence, "Take care of Father!"
Having said this to Frigga, Loki, carrying the Eternal Spear, left with an incomparable aura of dominance.
"Soon!"
"Father, just a moment longer, I am about to succeed!"
Inside the teleportation tower, Loki stood before the control center, his eyes shining brightly.
He was incredibly excited, his face full of anticipation.
The plan was going very smoothly!
Everything was exactly as he had envisioned.
The groundwork was laid; now, he only needed to slightly move his hands to completely eradicate all of Jotunheim.
He would achieve an unparalleled feat that even Thor could not accomplish!
A bright future was beckoning him.
In this moment of high spirits, Loki no longer hesitated and began to insert a long sword, which he had prepared earlier, into the control center.
Buzz!
The teleportation tower was instantly activated, and an incredibly scorching beam of light suddenly shot out.
In the blink of an eye, it traversed the Universe and galaxies, directly striking Jotunheim.
Boom!
The entire Jotunheim seemed to tremble.
Where the Bifrost Bridge struck, the ground began to crumble, and everything was utterly destroyed.
This was another function of the Bifrost Bridge: a Planet-destroying weapon.
That's right, in addition to teleportation, the Bifrost Bridge was actually an incredibly powerful weapon, even comparable to a nuclear weapon.
Destroying a Planet was a trivial matter.
"Hehe!"
Watching the Bifrost Bridge operating at full power, seeing the dazzling energy beams continuously bursting forth,
Loki couldn't help but reveal a brilliant smile at the corner of his mouth.
He seemed to already see the beautiful scene of Odin highly praising him, and all of Asgard bowing down to him.
"Loki, what have you done?"
But suddenly, a voice filled with surprise and anger rang out beside him,
interrupting Loki's thoughts.
Loki subconsciously turned his head, his expression instantly changing, even caught off guard: "Father, you're awake?"
This truly was a case of plans not keeping up with changes.
Loki had calculated everything, prepared many methods, and cleared all possible obstacles.
Yet, he never anticipated that Odin would awaken at this critical moment!
Odin, however, had no time to greet Loki; the King of Gods quickly scanned the situation inside the teleportation tower, and his expression instantly changed.
"You're going to destroy Jotunheim?"
Odin suddenly became much stricter, his single eye fixed on Loki as he questioned him.
"Father, please wait a moment longer. I can assure you, Jotunheim will be completely reduced to ruins."
"This problem that has always troubled you will be completely resolved."
"From now on, you can rest easy, and Asgard can rest easy."
Since Odin had seen through him, Loki had nothing to hide and eagerly sought praise from Odin.
But Loki did not expect that the imagined scene of Odin being greatly relieved and highly praising him did not appear at all.
Instead, he was doused with a bucket of cold Water.
"Destroy Jotunheim? Do you know what you're saying?!"
"Stop it now!"
Odin roared at Loki, showing no other emotion than anger.
If he had wanted to destroy Jotunheim, he would have done so long ago; why would he need to wait for Loki to act?
War is war, but Jotunheim is one of the Nine Realms, how could it be completely destroyed?!
"Stop?"
Loki felt a bit confused; this development was completely different from what he had imagined, "Father, why? I can clearly take this opportunity to completely eliminate this major hidden danger, I can!"
"Stop it now!"
"We cannot destroy Jotunheim, now!"
Odin's voice grew increasingly stern.
"Why, Father? Why can't we do this? I'm doing this for you! I'm doing this for Asgard!"
Loki's voice also involuntarily rose a few decibels, and he even looked very wronged.
"Silence! Have you forgotten all my previous teachings?"
"Just a few days ago I criticized Thor for being vain, greedy, and cruel, but you are even worse!"
"You are as disappointing as Thor!"
"You are even worse than Thor!"
"Thor would not do such an absurd thing!"
"Get out of the way!"
Odin had already reprimanded Loki thoroughly.
Then he bothered no longer with his son's useless words, quickly walked to the control center to check the situation, wanting to stop the Bifrost Bridge.
But he soon discovered that Loki had done something to the Bifrost Bridge, and it simply could not be shut down.
This younger son inherited Frigga's magic and had great magical talent, but unfortunately, why didn't he use it for good?
Odin paid no attention to the fact that Loki's face had already turned ashen.
He had done so much, gone to such lengths for Odin, and what he got in return was Odin's angry scolding?
And, "not as good as Thor"?
Hehe!
Father, I was being naive. No matter how well I do, I can't compare to your biological son!
After all, he is your own flesh and blood!
"No matter what you've done, stop it now!"
Odin roared at Loki again.
"It's no use, Father. It won't stop until Jotunheim is pulverized."
"No one can stop it, not even you!"
Loki curved his lips into a tragic smile, shaking his head repeatedly.
"Once I've dealt with this, Loki, I need to have a serious talk with you."
Odin ignored Loki and continued to try to find a way to interrupt the Bifrost Bridge.
But in the end, Odin helplessly discovered that at this moment, there was only one way to interrupt the Bifrost Bridge.
Destroy it!
Violently destroy it!
There was no other way!
The decisive Odin immediately made a decision.
He extended his hand, and the Eternal Spear in Loki's hand automatically flew back.
Odin strode out, arriving on the Bifrost Bridge deck.
Without a word, he raised the Eternal Spear high.
"What are you doing, Father?"
"No, stop it!"
How could Loki not realize Odin's intention?
He shouted and rushed towards Odin, trying to stop him.
It was bad enough that Odin didn't understand his painstaking efforts, but was he going to personally stop him now?
Loki simply could not accept it.
But at this critical moment, if there was any more delay, Jotunheim might truly be completely annihilated.
How could Odin have time to care about his troublesome son's emotions?
He fiercely swung the Eternal Spear in his hand, stabbing it heavily into the Bifrost Bridge beneath his feet.
Boom!
An incredibly terrifying energy, like a raging tide, surged out, and the scorching light swallowed everything.
It can only be said that Odin is indeed a King of Gods; his strength is truly formidable.
The Bifrost Bridge, which Thor had struggled to break for a long time, Odin accomplished with one spear thrust.
By the time the light dissipated, the Bifrost Bridge had already split into two.
A long break appeared right before Odin's eyes.
As for Loki?
Just as depicted in the original plot, he couldn't withstand the immense power and was completely thrown back.
Falling into the abyss of the Universe.
However, at the last second, Odin still managed to grab his hand.
The two, father and son, dangled from the broken bridge, swinging back and forth like on a swing.
"Father, I could have done it!"
"For you!"
Loki raised his head, his eyes fixed on his Father, pouring out his truest thoughts to Odin.
"No, Loki!"
It can only be said that Odin, this old bear, truly doesn't know how to raise children; even now, he was still denying Loki.
Loki's last glimmer of hope was shattered.
All that remained was despair, and utter despondency.
In this endless despair, Loki pulled his hand free from Odin's grasp and began to fall into the vast, boundless abyss of the Universe.
"No, Loki!"
Odin's heart trembled violently, and he cried out helplessly to Loki.
Although Loki was not his biological son, Odin had always truly regarded Loki as his own.
He was just stricter!
Especially in recent years, Odin knew his time was running out.
That's why he increasingly wanted his two sons to grow up quickly and stand on their own.
But why did things come to this point?
…
The Avengers on another Planet, of course, could not know what was happening in Asgard.
Of course, Thor also could not know.
Right now, Thor was still preoccupied with wanting to pick up mjolnir and return to Asgard.
He could never have guessed that Asgard's Bifrost Bridge was broken, temporarily losing its teleportation capability!
Although Odin could still teleport through dark energy and other means, it was certainly not as convenient, was it?
"Thor!"
Just as he was struggling and frustrated about not being able to pick up mjolnir, Thor's thoughts were interrupted; Nick Fury walked up to Thor.
He glanced at Thor, who was sitting dejectedly in front of mjolnir, and shrugged: "Take your time. There's a saying on Earth, 'Haste makes waste,' I don't know if you've heard it."
"Perhaps I do need to think carefully."
Thor nodded after some contemplation.
Even if Thor was a fool, after so many fruitless attempts and so many setbacks, he should have understood that mjolnir could not be picked up by brute force alone.
He needed to obtain the necessary "worthiness."
But what that "worthiness" was, Thor could not comprehend in a short time.
"You've read the diary, this is only temporary; you eventually picked up mjolnir, didn't you?"
"And… if you need to, you can also talk to Rogers, and get some advice from him."
"I think Captain will not be stingy."
Nick Fury thought for a moment and earnestly offered this suggestion to Thor.
But in reality, it was all just to win Thor's favor.
Captain America himself didn't understand how he could pick up mjolnir!
How could he teach Thor?
"Thank you for your kindness, but I think it's not necessary; I can do it myself."
Thor, however, shook his head.
What a joke! He was the rightful Master of mjolnir, and he was going to ask a "bootleg" guy for experience?
That was truly laughable.
"I believe that too; it won't be a problem for you."
Nick Fury nodded, expressing high approval, then smoothly changed the subject, "So I'm not here to talk about mjolnir with you this time."
"Then what do you want to talk about?"
Thor turned his head and glanced at Nick Fury, asking.
"The Avengers."
Nick Fury said heavily.
Thor himself was a diary holders and already knew in advance that he was an Avenger.
Coupled with the fact that everyone had just fought side-by-side, establishing initial trust, Nick Fury felt now was the best time.
After all, recruiting a God into one's ranks was always better done sooner rather than later.
Moreover, Thor was not from Earth; he might return to Asgard at any time.
If he couldn't even be found then, wouldn't it be too late?
