"Thor, I'll go with you. I haven't been to Asgard yet."
At this moment, Noah suddenly spoke.
"Wizard, you want to return to Asgard with us? Of course, after this is over, I can treat you well."
Thor did not refuse Noah's request.
As for why Noah suddenly wanted to go to Asgard, one reason was that Noah originally wanted to visit Asgard, and the main reason was that after Noah dealt with the Destroyer, he reopened the mission interface and found that the B-rank mission for the Destroyer was finally completed, proving that the Destroyer would not come back to life.
"Mission complete, gained 2000 essence, Hero magic Engine * 1."
"So much?! Two thousand points, plus a magic Engine. Good, it was worth my hard fight."
Noah looked at the generous mission rewards and felt it was very worthwhile.
The mission objective this time was incredibly bizarre.
Noah originally thought it was just the Destroyer from the movie, but he didn't expect it to have a second phase.
Noah really wanted to know who was behind it.
Noah's current essence, Plus these 2000 points, already totaled 5300 points.
Moreover, a new B-rank mission had appeared in the mission list.
"B-rank Mission: Prevent the Bifrost Bridge from being destroyed."
"Hmm? This mission."
Noah looked at the newly refreshed mission; its literal meaning was simple and clear.
Noah remembered that in the movie, after Thor defeated the Destroyer, he returned to Asgard, then he and Loki fought from Odin's sleeping quarters to the Bifrost Bridge fortress, where Loki took the opportunity to activate the Bifrost Bridge.
Loki activated the Bifrost Bridge at maximum power, intending to destroy Jotunheim, and then Thor, to stop Loki, smashed the Bifrost Bridge.
In other words, to complete this mission, he just needed to stop Loki in advance? However, Noah wondered if it was too late now.
In the movie, the Destroyer was instantly defeated by Thor in a few moves, but the Destroyer in Reality fought them for a long time before being taken down.
Could Loki have already melted Jotunheim?
No, Noah suddenly remembered something.
Whether Jotunheim was destroyed or not, what did it matter to him? As long as the Bifrost Bridge was intact, wouldn't his mission be directly completed?
However, Noah only thought this to himself.
There was no free lunch in the world.
He needed to go to Asgard to confirm the mission's status, so Noah wanted to go with Thor and the others, otherwise he wouldn't be able to reach Asgard on his own.
Subsequently, Noah followed Thor to the Bifrost Bridge mark.
He stood on the mark, making it convenient for Heimdall to Teleport (What's the use of standing there? I can't find it).
"Heimdall!"
After Thor stepped into the mark, he began to call Heimdall's name.
Heimdall's magic eye could see through the Nine Realms; as long as Thor called his name from a place he could see, Heimdall could make the Bifrost Bridge arrive at that location.
Just as Thor was preparing to receive the Bifrost Bridge's Teleportation, he found that the Bifrost Bridge had not arrived.
"What's happening? Heimdall! Can you hear me, Heimdall!"
Thor felt something was wrong.
Heimdall usually wouldn't delay this long; something must have happened on Heimdall's end.
Just as Thor called out Heimdall's name a few more times, the sky finally changed.
The clouds began to spin, and colorful light shimmered from within.
Thor breathed a sigh of relief.
If Heimdall had really been in trouble, he wouldn't have known how to return to Asgard.
After saying goodbye to Jane again and sharing a passionate kiss, the Bifrost Bridge enveloped everyone, then disappeared into the mark.
The remaining people watched this scene with amazement.
Inside the Bifrost Bridge, countless stars streaked past their eyes.
Noah looked at this scene, feeling very strange.
The journey through did not take long.
A moment later, they emerged from the Bifrost Bridge, and the first thing that greeted their eyes was an ice-sealed humanoid statue.
Thor recognized at a glance who was frozen inside; it was Heimdall.
And Loki was standing next to the Bifrost Bridge's activator, holding the Eternal Spear, looking at the newly returned group with a cold smile.
"Dear brother, you've finally returned, but you're too late.
Next, I will destroy Jotunheim to prove that I am the one fit to be King!"
Loki revealed a ferocious expression, gripping the Eternal Spear, ready to activate the Bifrost Bridge.
As for why this scene occurred, let us rewind time to when Heimdall was confronted by Loki.
After their verbal conflict was about to turn into a physical one, Loki used the ice box to freeze Heimdall, then brought Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants, into the Asgardian Heavenly Palace.
Heimdall was still quite powerful and possessed strong magic abilities (not specifically shown in the movie, but judging by his ability to conjure the Bifrost Bridge with dark energy).
So he quickly broke through the ice and regained his freedom.
After Heimdall emerged, he turned his gaze to Earth, to Thor's location, and found that Thor and Noah were engaged in battle with a Destroyer that seemed somewhat different.
The battle was fierce, and it seemed unlikely to conclude anytime soon.
Heimdall then looked towards Loki's location and saw that he was bringing Laufey, the Frost Giant King, to Odin's sleeping quarters, where Odin was undergoing Odin Sleep.
If anyone were to attack him, Odin would be completely defenseless (in Heimdall's opinion).
"Loki!! What is he trying to do!"
Upon seeing this, Heimdall immediately rushed to the Heavenly Palace, wanting to stop Loki.
Along the way, he briefly used a Heavenly Palace soldier's celestial boat that was on patrol to reach the Heavenly Palace faster.
After Loki brought Laufey to Odin's sleeping quarters, he did not enter himself but hid.
However, Laufey didn't pay much attention; his most hated enemy was now in the room before him, completely defenseless, and he was already impatient.
Laufey reached out and touched the great door; a blue hue spread from where Laufey touched, and Odin's room door was frozen, then turned into ice shards.
After entering, Laufey casually waved his hand, knocking away Queen Frigga, who tried to resist (Is that all the Witch has?), then impatiently came before Odin.
Looking at Odin's sleeping face, Laufey pried open Odin's eyelids.
"I heard you can still hear and see things around you while you sleep.
I hope it's true."
Laufey reached out, and ice transformed into an ice dagger.
"Because that way you'll know it was Laufey who killed you... Ugh!"
Just as Laufey raised the dagger, a laser exploded from behind Laufey, blasting him to the ground.
Laufey let out a painful groan, unable to stand up.
The one who ambushed Laufey was Loki.
At this moment, Loki stood out with a righteous expression, like a hero.
"And you died by the hand of Loki, son of Odin."
Loki looked at the person before him expressionlessly.
Although he was his biological father, Loki had no feelings for him.
Loki hated his Frost Giant identity; he more recognized Odin and his identity as Odin's son.
Therefore, Loki chose to kill Laufey in front of Odin and Frigga, also to prove himself to them and gain their greater recognition!
Loki raised the Eternal Spear, and light shot out.
Laufey was struck and instantly turned into specks of Fire.
"Loki, you saved your father."
Queen Frigga embraced Loki.
Meanwhile, Heimdall, who was rushing over, was somewhat taken aback upon seeing this scene.
He suddenly didn't understand what Loki was trying to do.
He brought Laufey next to Odin, then killed Laufey?
Therefore, Heimdall decided to observe secretly for a while to see what Loki was really up to.
After Loki comforted his Mother, he rushed to the Bifrost Bridge fortress; he was going to carry out the final step of his plan.
When Loki arrived at the Bifrost Bridge, he found that where Heimdall had been frozen, there was only a pile of ice shards, and Heimdall was nowhere to be seen.
Loki looked around and then suddenly smiled.
"Heimdall, come out.
I've already found you.
I didn't expect you to have followed me all this way."
Heimdall walked out from behind a pillar behind Loki.
He wasn't thinking whether Loki was bluffing him anymore.
He saw Loki standing at the Bifrost Bridge's activation point and realized that the other party wanted to do something with the Bifrost Bridge, so he spoke:
"Loki, what is your conspiracy!"
"Conspiracy?" Loki scoffed.
"I am now the King of Asgard.
Everything I do is naturally for Asgard.
I will destroy Jotunheim, making this enemy of Asgard disappear forever!"
"What?! Are you crazy?
If you do that, it will cause turmoil in the Nine Realms!
If war breaks out, you will be the culprit!"
Destroying a realm was a major event.
People from the other realms, if they saw Asgard, the master of the Nine Realms, suddenly destroy Jotunheim, would naturally panic and fall into chaos, fearing they would be the next target.
"I will stop you, Loki!"
Heimdall gripped his sword, vowing to prevent Loki from causing a genocide.
"How will you stop me?"
Heimdall advanced with his sword, attacking Loki.
Heimdall was stronger and more durable than most Asgardians, and also a master swordsman.
His magic eye possessed powerful observational abilities, so in close combat, Loki was no match for Heimdall, being steadily pushed back by Heimdall's swift attacks.
After Heimdall seized an opening in Loki's defense, he parried the Eternal Spear, and his sword slashed towards Loki, but the moment it touched Loki's body, the Loki in front suddenly disappeared; it was an illusion!
Just as Heimdall reacted, he felt a dangerous sensation behind him and quickly rolled, dodging a golden laser.
The Eternal Spear's attack was no joke; if Heimdall were hit by it, he definitely wouldn't be able to handle it.
Seeing how troublesome Heimdall was, Loki decided to stop hiding.
He pulled out the ice box and fired an ice-sealing ray at Heimdall.
Heimdall twisted his body, dodging the ray.
The blue beam shot onto the wall of the Bifrost Bridge fortress, and the wall was immediately frozen, with the ice beginning to spread.
"Your hand!?"
Heimdall also noticed the change in Loki after he picked up the ice box; Loki's arm was slowly turning blue, which made him think of the Frost Giants.
Could Loki be a Frost Giant?!
Heimdall had a thought.
'Heimdall!'
It was at this moment that Heimdall suddenly heard someone calling his name; the voice was Thor's.
Upon hearing Thor's call, Heimdall's sudden distraction was also noticed by Loki, so Loki seized the opportunity to fire another ice ray.
This time, Heimdall couldn't dodge it.
'Crack crack'
The ice started from Heimdall's feet and spread upwards over his body.
Heimdall wanted to struggle free but couldn't.
Listening to the calls that came again, Heimdall glanced at the Bifrost Bridge's activation device not far away.
Before being completely frozen, Heimdall threw his sword and transmitted Thor's location through it with dark energy.
After throwing the sword, Heimdall once again fell into a frozen state.
Seeing this, Loki's expression changed, and he quickly came to the Bifrost Bridge's activation device.
Sure enough, after he reached the activation device, the Bifrost Bridge's entrance lit up, and several figures emerged from it; it was Thor and Noah.
"But you're too late! Brother! I will destroy Jotunheim!"
Loki made a gesture as if to insert the Eternal Spear into the activation device.
