[The image continues.]
[Although he was struck by the light released by the Eternal Spear, Thor, who had thick skin, climbed up from the ground.]
[Looking at Loki, Thor shouted with a confused expression:]
["Why? Why are you destroying Jotunheim?"]
[Loki said without hesitation: "To prove to Father that I am the more capable son."]
["When he wakes up, he will know that I have just saved his life. I have also destroyed those monsters in Jotunheim. Therefore, I am the one qualified to sit on the throne."]
[Thor was stunned. He could not believe that his brother would do something so insane because of the throne.]
["You cannot destroy an entire race because of this!"]
[Looking at his horrified brother, Loki also showed a playful smile on his face.]
["Why not? Have you recently fallen in love with these Frost Giants?"]
[He chuckled softly and approached Thor. Loki's tone was full of sarcasm:]
["You can kill Frost Giants with your bare hands."]
[Faced with Loki's mockery, Thor's expression suddenly became serious.]
["I have changed."]
[The smile on Loki's face suddenly disappeared, and he coldly said: "I have changed too."]
[As soon as his voice fell, he swung the Eternal Spear in his hand and struck Thor with the shaft of the spear.]
["Come, let us finish this."]
[Loki struck Thor again and knocked him down.]
[Although he had defeated Thor, Loki looked even angrier. He gritted his teeth and roared, his voice full of rage and pain:]
["I never wanted to be king!"]
["All I ever wanted was to be your equal!"]
Hearing this, many people in front of the screen fell silent.
"Loki, you..."
Frigga then unconsciously stretched out her hand toward the screen in front of her.
But halfway there, she pulled her hand back, showing a trace of struggle on her face.
For many years, she had asked herself and believed that she had always treated her two sons equally and had never deliberately favored one over the other.
But when she heard Loki's hoarse shout on the screen, Frigga also began to wonder whether she had truly ignored the feelings in Loki's heart.
"He wants to be equal to Thor? Poor child."
Odin imperceptibly shook his head, with a trace of pity in his single eye.
Why struggle?
Loki, you are chasing something you will never obtain.
As a father, I can love you and Thor as equally as possible.
But as a king, I can have only one heir, and that person will never be you.
The look in Odin's single eye fluctuated, and it was obvious that his thoughts were constantly changing.
"However, in order to prove to me that he is better than Thor, he will kill his biological father Laufey and destroy Jotunheim. It seems that Loki's loyalty to Asgard can be guaranteed."
[Thor: Loki, it turns out you caused so many things only because you wanted to defeat me.]
[Thor: Why struggle? Just fight me and that is all. I can keep you company anytime.]
[Loki Odinson: Idiot, what do you know? Shut up.]
Seeing himself screaming hoarsely on the screen, Loki only felt his heart twist, and he unconsciously clenched his fists.
Equal to Thor?
That had been almost unimaginable for him in the past.
From childhood to adulthood, Asgard and everyone else had looked up to Thor while looking down on him, Loki.
But now Loki held "Frostmourne" and "Stand The World," two rewards with infinite potential. Given time, even if he met the "Future Thor" holding Stormbreaker in the video, he could defeat him.
For him now, surpassing Thor was no longer an unattainable dream.
Therefore, Loki could calm down and think carefully.
Why was he so obsessed with being equal to Thor?
After thinking for a moment, Loki's heart moved, and the expression on his face suddenly changed.
"That is right. From the beginning, I did not care about Thor, but..."
At the same time, the discussion in the chat group became even livelier.
[Stephen Strange: I have always found this a little strange. In this image, Loki's personality changed a little too quickly.]
[Stephen Strange: At the beginning of the video, he brought three Giants of Jotunheim into Asgard. It could also be said that he only wanted to interrupt his brother's coronation ceremony out of jealousy.]
[Stephen Strange: At that time, Loki's behavior was still only at the level of pranks and causing trouble.]
[Stephen Strange: But what do you think he is doing now? He wants to blow up a planet! Kill every creature on that planet!]
[Stephen Strange: This, this, this, this, is this the same person? This is corruption. Uh, sorry.]
[Loki Odinson: You can say it directly. I turned into a monster!]
[Peter Parker: Mr. Loki, I do not think Dr. Strange meant that.]
[Thor: I also find it a little strange. Loki usually likes pranks, but the people he has killed on the battlefield are not even a fraction of mine. And then he suddenly causes something like the destruction of a planet?]
[Thor: Or is Loki on the screen only playing a prank on us?]
[Nick Fury: What kind of prank is this? The video clearly shows that Jotunheim will be blown apart!]
[Nick Fury: This weapon is truly terrifying. If our planet could also master it, how good would that be?]
[Tony Stark: Mastered by Earth, that sounds good. I think you people from S.H.I.E.L.D. want it for yourselves, right?]
[Nick Fury: Stark, as the best weapons designer on the planet, are you not interested at all in an ultimate weapon of this level?]
[Tony Stark: Stop talking nonsense. Your uncle has already left the weapons manufacturing business!]
[Wanda Maximoff: That guy named Nick Fury. Why must you force Stark to help you make weapons?]
[Wanda Maximoff: Do you not know how many unfortunate people were killed by the weapons he invented?]
[Nick Fury: Well, that is different from what I said.]
[Wanda Maximoff: Now Stark has finally abandoned evil and corrected himself, yet you want to lure him back onto the path of evil. What are your intentions?]
[Tony Stark: ...]
[Stephen Strange: Do not change the subject. I have always had only one question. Why is the change in Loki before and after so great?]
[Natasha Romanoff: Well, I think I can answer you.]
[Natasha Romanoff: Loki's character probably began heading in the wrong direction from the moment Odin revealed his life experience.]
[Loki Odinson: ...]
[Mordo: That is right! Odin said that he was his adopted son from Jotunheim, but he is actually a Frost Giant!]
[Thor: Shut up! Mage, you are not qualified to talk about my brother!]
[Thor: Damn it.]
[Stephen Strange: So that is how it is. I understand. No wonder Loki made such a choice.]
[Peter Parker: What, Doctor Strange, what are you talking about? How is it that I do not understand at all?]
[Stephen Strange: Do you not find it strange? When Thor came to Asgard through the Bifrost, he became the number one threat to Loki's throne!]
[Stephen Strange: Well, it can be said that if Loki wants to retain his throne, the first thing he should do is kill Thor!]
[Thor: Hey, what are you talking about? How could my brother kill me? Besides, if Loki wants the throne, I will simply give it to him.]
[Stephen Strange: How could it be that simple? Even if you agree, no one else in Asgard will agree.]
[Loki Odinson: Heh, that is right. Look at me in the video. I am king in name, but in reality, all of my subordinates are traitors!]
[Stephen Strange: Therefore, as long as Thor appears alive in Asgard, Loki's throne will be unstable.]
[Stephen Strange: But faced with this situation, Loki left Thor aside and rushed to the Bifrost to destroy Jotunheim!]
[Stephen Strange: Why is the destruction of Jotunheim so important to him? Even more important than the throne, more important than Thor?]
[Peter Parker: This place should be his homeland?]
[Loki Odinson: Shut up, human. Do not anger me!]
[Natasha Romanoff: I think I understand too.]
[Natasha Romanoff: This poor man wants to prove his loyalty.]
[Stephen Strange: Yes! What you said is correct! That is why Loki would do something so terrible!]
[Loki Odinson: ...]
[Natasha Romanoff: This kind of thing was very common in my original spy organization. Members had to do some very difficult and extremely dangerous things to prove their loyalty to the organization.]
[Natasha Romanoff: But I have never seen anything as extreme as Loki's level.]
[Peter Parker: Ah, prove? What does he have to prove?]
[Natasha Romanoff: He wants to destroy Jotunheim, the homeland of the Frost Giants. That proves that Loki is a true Asgardian. And not a monster like a Frost Giant!]
[Wanda Maximoff: This! This is insane. How can bloodline be changed?]
[Natasha Romanoff: Yes, it truly is insane. But it is also very sad.]
[Natasha Romanoff: Because of this, he even killed his own father!]
[Mordo: What a terrifying man!]
[Thor: No! No! Loki, he actually...]
A small town in New Mexico.
Looking at the scrolling barrage at the bottom of the screen, Thor's eyes were dull, his breathing had completely stopped, and his mind was in chaos.
Coming into contact with such a large amount of terrifying news in a short period of time, Thor, who was not very intelligent, only felt that his head was no longer enough, while the psychological shadow cast over him was even more unimaginable.
Prove?
Proof that Loki was the brother who had grown up with him. Did that need to be proven?
At the same time that the fierce discussion continued in the chat group, the battle between Loki and Thor on the screen also reached its climax.
[The two of them fought all the way from the Bifrost center toward the outside.]
[Through one moment of carelessness, Loki slipped from the Bifrost and could only hold onto the edge with both hands so that he would not fall into the galactic vortex below.]
["Thor, brother! Save me...!"]
[Loki held onto the edge of the Bifrost, looked at Thor on the bridge, and let out a pitiful cry for help.]
[Looking at his brother's appearance, Thor sighed slightly, crouched down, and stretched out his hand to help.]
[But as soon as he grabbed him, Loki's body disappeared!]
[Thor was surprised, turned around, and saw Loki appear behind him with a grinning smile, raise the Eternal Spear, and stab him.]
["Ah!"]
[With a shocked cry, Thor's stomach was pierced by the Eternal Spear.]
[The injury did not look light. Thor weakly fell onto the Bifrost.]
["Hahaha."]
[With mad laughter, Loki's body suddenly turned into dozens, surrounding Thor from every direction.]
"Oops!"
In the live broadcast room, little Wanda involuntarily let out a soft frightened cry.
Would that large man lose like this?
At this moment, Loki, who stood at the side, silently sighed in his heart.
He could clearly see that the version of him on the screen could not fully use the power of the Eternal Spear, and even when facing Thor, he still intentionally or unintentionally held back.
Their original strength was not equal, so how could he possibly win?
[The image continues.]
[After turning into avatars, dozens of Lokis simultaneously raised the Eternal Spear and stabbed Thor, who had fallen to the ground.]
[At this moment, only a roar could be heard:]
["Enough."]
[Thor did not even stand up. He merely lay on the ground and raised Mjolnir, and terrifying thunder and lightning surged in every direction like mountains and seas.]
["Oh!"]
[Countless Loki illusions were immediately completely swept away by the thunder that engulfed everything around them.]
[The only remaining body was also struck by lightning and sent flying, then shamefully fell onto the Bifrost.]
[Thor stood up, held Mjolnir in his hand, and walked toward Loki without concern.]
[The wound that Gungnir had inflicted on him earlier seemed to have no effect on him at all.]
Seeing this, Loki's eyes darkened.
This was the divine body of the God of Thunder.
Even Gungnir could not inflict fatal injuries on him.
It was truly terrifying!
How could such a powerful body exist in the world?
[The image continues.]
[To prevent Loki from escaping, Thor placed Mjolnir on Loki's chest.]
[Completely unable to lift the hammer, Loki had to lie on the Bifrost, laughing and cursing:]
["Look at you! Great Thor, you have such enormous power, but what can you do now?"]
["Can you hear me, brother? Now you can do nothing."]
[Hearing Loki's mockery, Thor's face showed determination.]
[With his right hand extended, Mjolnir automatically flew off Loki and fell into his hand.]
[Afterward, Thor used all his strength to raise Mjolnir and smash it against the Bifrost!]
[There was no way to stop the Bifrost.]
[To save Jotunheim from complete destruction by the colorful radiance of the Bifrost, the only way was to destroy the entire Bifrost!]
[Seeing this, Loki shouted loudly in shock and even rushed forward with Gungnir.]
[But when Loki rushed behind Thor, he had just struck the final hammer blow.]
[Boom!!!!!]
[The deafening roar turned heaven and earth into dazzling silver.]
[Brilliant light pierced the sky, and the light was so intense that it was impossible to look at directly.]
[At the place where the Bifrost collapsed, countless violent energies condensed together and turned into an enormous silver sphere of light, which expanded madly in an instant, while a powerful shockwave spread outward.]
[Swept by the silver sphere of light, the entire Bifrost center instantly collapsed and turned into a mass of ruins.]
[And the colorful light that could destroy a planet finally stopped.]
[The shockwave that exploded from the Bifrost blew them away, and Loki and Thor were about to fall into the endless void beneath the Bifrost.]
[But at this moment, a hand suddenly stretched out and grabbed Thor's leg.]
[And Thor grabbed Gungnir in Loki's hand, and the two of them were immediately connected.]
[The person who suddenly appeared was God King Odin.]
[Looking at Odin standing at the edge of the broken bridge, Loki shouted with tears on his face:]
["I could have done it, Father!"]
["I could have!"]
["I did it for you! For all of us!"]
[Looking at him, Odin's expression was extremely complicated, but in the end, he quietly said.]
["No! Loki!"]
[This sentence was equal to denying everything Loki had done.]
[He had not hesitated to kill his biological father Laufey and attempted to destroy the entire Jotunheim, all to prove his loyalty to Asgard.]
[And what he wanted in the end was Odin's acknowledgment.]
[But now, with Odin's denial, everything lost its meaning.]
[Loki's expression became dull in an instant. His eyes changed from sorrow to despair, and he gradually released his right hand that was holding the Eternal Spear.]
[Seeing this, Thor shouted: "Loki! No!"]
[But Loki ultimately released his hand, and his body fell beneath the Bifrost, was sucked into the galactic vortex, and completely disappeared.]
[Afterward, the screen went black.]
"No way. How could the version of me from that universe die so foolishly?"
Loki's eyes widened, and his mouth opened slightly. His mind was shaken to the extreme for a while.
Even when he had earlier seen Thanos crush him, it had not brought him such a great shock.
Killed by Thanos, at least he had died magnificently.
But this kind of death, similar to suicide, only made Loki feel a kind of extreme fear.
Of course, everything he had done in this other world had only been to seek the acknowledgment of his father Odin!
He wanted to prove to Odin that he was a good son, as good as Thor, or even better!
Therefore, this Loki simply chose death after Odin rejected him.
"Is this my life?"
"Living to seek the acknowledgment of others? Dying because of it?"
"This is too tragic!"
Just as Loki began doubting life, the image on the screen suddenly lit up again.
[Jane Foster's tutor, Professor Erik Selvig, entered an underground passage.]
[There, he met a black bald man with one eye.]
Seeing this scene, Fury in the S.H.I.E.L.D. office suddenly sat upright in his chair.
"That is me?"
At this moment, Fury suddenly felt a trace of ominous premonition.
As though this image would bring him something bad!
["Are you the mastermind behind the scenes?"]
[Professor Erik approached Fury and laughed self-mockingly.]
["I thought you brought me here because you wanted to kill me."]
[Fury calmly said:]
["I heard about the situation in New Mexico."]
["The results of your work were praised by many people much smarter than me."]
[Professor Erik spread his hands: "I still have a great deal of work to do."]
["Foster's theory can open a door to another dimension. That is unprecedented in history."]
[Suddenly discovering that the look in Fury's eyes before him had changed slightly, Professor Erik suspiciously asked:]
["Is there a precedent for this theory?"]
[Fury turned toward a suitcase and said inconspicuous words as he walked:]
["Legend and history are always inconsistent, but sometimes we discover that the two actually reach the same destination by different paths."]
[Looking at Professor Erik, Fury gently opened the suitcase.]
[Inside was a blue cube, constantly shining with a strange light.]
Seeing this, several people in the live broadcast shouted in shock:
"Is that not the Tesseract?"
