However, Shen Mu still had a big problem in front of him.
The sun disc was not a small item that could be carried around.
If he claimed it, and it was such a huge thing, how would he explain its origin if they asked?
"Wait, does it matter whether I explain it to them or not?"
Suddenly, Shen Mu realized something.
He had just single-handedly beaten up all of Asgard's visible high-end combat power.
Just like his mysterious strength in their eyes, what was wrong with a mysterious dragon having some secrets of his own?
Wasn't that perfectly reasonable and logical?
Thinking this, Shen Mu no longer hesitated and flew directly to the top of Asgard's highest mountain.
This place was exposed to the Sun all day long, making it perfect for placing the sun disc.
"System, I want to claim the sun disc."
Shen Mu said to the system.
[Ding! Reward being issued.]
The next moment, a giant, altar-like structure appeared before Shen Mu.
A massive, Sun-shaped disc floated in mid-air.
At the same time, on Runeterra, countless dimensions away from the Marvel Universe.
In the Shurima Desert, Azir, who had just been ascended into an Ascended being by the Sun's immortal radiance, had just re-summoned the sun disc that had been buried under the sand.
"Shurima, your Emperor has returned!"
Azir summoned countless sand soldiers, announcing the return of the Emperor from thousands of years ago.
But, in just the blink of an eye, the massive and sacred sun disc in front of him vanished into thin air!
"?????"
"What's going on? Where's my huge sun disc?"
"Impossible, no one can take anything from me without a sound."
"Could it be the Ancient Gods?"
Thinking of certain possibilities, Azir's joy at just becoming an Ascended being was instantly diminished by more than half.
Shen Mu had no idea about any of this.
"Is this the sun disc?"
"It's truly mysterious and beautiful!"
Looking at the massive disc in front of him, whose diameter was even longer than his original body, Shen Mu couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, as if enchanted!
It wasn't just admiration for those on Runeterra who dared to steal the power of gods in mortal bodies.
It was also admiration for the sun disc's own functions.
Because the moment the sun disc appeared, Shen Mu could clearly feel the power of the Sun in the sky gathering towards it.
The temperature of the surrounding air was rising, and the cells in his body began to become more active!
"Here, my speed of absorbing solar radiation will further accelerate."
"It seems my rate of getting stronger is about to increase by another level!"
Shen Mu squinted his eyes comfortably, facing the Sun.
At this moment, as the sunlight shone upon the disc, golden runes began to activate.
Immediately, a golden glow began to circulate on the surface of the disc.
"What's going on? Why is there such a pure divine power aura appearing on Mount Hols?"
"That scorching sensation, it's like—the Sun!"
Since Odin had already entered his slumber, only Heimdall in all of Asgard temporarily noticed the anomaly.
However, with a target as large as the sun disc, it was only a matter of time before it attracted the attention of others.
Immediately, Heimdall looked towards the mountaintop.
Heimdall then saw the massive sun disc and Shen Mu lying beside it.
"How is this possible? This altar is actually converting divine power."
"And these strange runes, they are completely unlike any runes from any of the Nine Realms that I know of."
"Shen? Did he do this?"
Heimdall's face was filled with shock, so he used his astral projection ability to make his spiritual phantom appear beside Shen Mu.
Feeling someone appear, Shen Mu suddenly turned his head, and seeing it was Heimdall, he didn't pay too much attention.
"Shen, did you build this altar?"
Heimdall asked with some hesitation.
Although he already had the answer in his heart, Heimdall still wanted a definite answer from Shen Mu.
"That's right, it can enhance my absorption of the Sun's power."
Shen Mu didn't hide it and stated it frankly.
"Shen, these runes?"
Heimdall pointed to the golden glowing runes on the sun disc and asked.
"These runes do not belong to this Universe, but come from a place called Runeterra."
"This sun disc also comes from there!"
Shen Mu directly brought up Runeterra.
"So, this altar is called the sun disc, and Runeterra is in another Universe? No wonder I've never heard of this place."
Heimdall was not ignorant; he certainly knew that there were other Universes beyond his own.
So, he stood in front of the sun disc and observed for a long time, then his figure disappeared!
He believed he now understood Shen Mu's true identity.
Shen Mu didn't mind this and focused on enjoying this concentrated sunbath.
Meanwhile, in the Royal Palace, Thor looked at his father, who had already entered the Odin Sleep, and did not disturb him.
Frigga looked at her son and motioned for him to come out with her.
"Mother, what exactly happened to Father? Why does he need to enter the Odin Sleep to recover?"
Odin was now nearing his demise, so he had to rely on the Odin Sleep to extend his life and restore his spirit.
However, in the past, the Odin Sleep was only once a year, but this year, it was already the second time!
This meant that the Odin Force within Odin had been heavily consumed recently.
But, there had been no battles recently, so Odin shouldn't have used the Odin Force at all.
"Thor, you only need to know that your Father does everything for you and all of Asgard."
Frigga said to Thor with a loving expression.
She knew very well how deep the love was hidden beneath Odin's seemingly strict exterior towards Thor.
Odin was in the final stages of his life, perhaps less than a hundred years before he would completely fall.
Therefore, he was very anxious about Thor's growth, because the current Thor did not yet possess the heart of a king required to be a qualified king.
"Mother, with Loki and I protecting Asgard now, Father has no need to worry at all."
"Even in the future, with Loki assisting me, Asgard will not need to fear any enemy."
Although Thor had lost to Shen Mu twice in a row, his pride as Thor of Asgard had not diminished in the slightest.
"Sigh!"
Frigga reached out and touched her son's face, sighing inwardly.
As Loki's closest person, how could Frigga not see what was on Loki's mind now?
As a Mother, she also understood why Loki did everything he did.
It's just that only Thor could sit on the throne of Asgard, and if Loki were told the truth of his identity as a Frost Giant, it would only be even more cruel.
