Gamora was the first to recover from her shock, her face full of horror.

As the daughter of Thanos, no one knows better than her how terrifying and invulnerable her adoptive father will become once he obtains the two gems.

Another person who reacted strongly was Grant Ward, the supreme commander of the Human Fleet.

He could no longer maintain his previous calm demeanor of sitting on the mountain and watching the fight between two tigers. Instead, he suddenly stood up from his chair and shouted angrily in a voice that was almost a roar: "Attack! Fire at Thanos' fleet immediately! We must not let them leave like this!"

After all, the current Human Alliance is not completely ignorant of the universe, and understands the power of the Infinity Stones in the hands of someone like Thanos.

As soon as the order was given, this expeditionary force composed entirely of elite Astartes warriors responded immediately.

Including the powerful main gun and the large guns on the side, they completed the first round of firepower delivery in less than five seconds.

Looking at the light beam that was powerful enough to destroy everything, and the physical shells that were fired at nearly the speed of light and were as big as a building, countless soldiers from the Human Alliance were confident that this round of attack would be able to sink at least hundreds of enemy warships.

But what was unbelievable to them was that at the moment when these attacks were about to cause a devastating blow to Thanos' fleet, first a large purple light curtain appeared to block all these attacks outside, and then a huge impulse was activated to suck all the warships in.

shock!

The shock was beyond words! All the senior leaders of the expeditionary force, including Grant Ward, were dumbfounded.

Tony Stark kept retrieving the recorded footage and analyzing it frame by frame, and finally came to a conclusion that made everyone shudder.

With the power of just two gems, Thanos can negate the attack of a main fleet and teleport his own fleet away in an instant.

What a terrifying ability and power! If it were used against the Earth and its colonies, I'm afraid there would be nothing to resist except waiting for death.

"I think we're in big trouble now!"

There was a strong flash of fear in Iron Man's eyes.

Because as one of the smartest geniuses on earth, he knows what this power means better than anyone else around him.

As long as Thanos wants, he can destroy any civilization in the universe at any time, even the most powerful Kree Empire and Shi'ar Empire.

"Damn it! Why? Why would Asgard hand over the Cosmic Cube? Is Hela, the goddess of death, crazy?"

Grant Ward began to rage in impotence.

He simply couldn't believe that Hela, who had always shown a tough attitude to the outside world, would compromise so easily.

"I think this has something to do with what's happening in Asgard. You see, the Asgard is in complete chaos."

The super artificial intelligence Ultron directly displays the images taken by the small drone it released.

On the streets of Asgard, Thor, the God of Thunder, was waving his new hammer and killing everyone, knocking down the undead soldiers who were pouring in.

Not only him, but also Dr. Banner who has transformed into the Hulk, and the Valkyrie who came back with him.

Under the leadership of these high-end combat forces, the Asgardians, whose spines were almost broken, finally stood up again and rushed towards the palace together with those foreign gladiators.

But just when they were about to succeed, a green figure suddenly fell from the sky and kicked Thor, who was advancing triumphantly, to the ground.

You don't need to ask to know that the goddess of death Hela has finally returned.

Looking at the chaotic scene around her, she stared at her brother fiercely and asked with gritted teeth: "How dare you come back? Wasn't what I said last time clear enough? Or do you think I won't kill you?"

"I will overthrow your tyrannical rule! Liberate all oppressed Asgardians! And take back what belongs to me! Because you are not worthy of being the king of God's Realm!"

Thor struggled to get up from the ground and released all the pent-up emotions in his heart in almost the same roaring way.

After all, he had grown up smoothly since he was a child, but since Odin's death he has been suffering hardships that he had never endured before.

Whether it was watching the hammer that had accompanied him for thousands of years being crushed and then becoming little Annie's property, or being kicked out of the Rainbow Bridge and stranded on Sakaar, where he had his hair shaved and turned into a slave gladiator, and hearing the Valkyrie's story about how the entire army was almost wiped out when they were chasing Hela, he realized that he had lost the father who would always come out to clean up the mess no matter what happened.

Now, the time has come for him to rely on himself.

If she fails to defeat this older sister, the people of Asgard, who once loved and cheered for her, will be plunged into complete dire straits.

What's more, he had just learned that several of his friends had died at the hands of Hela because they resisted her rule.

"Very good! So you are officially challenging me, right?"

There was a chill in the voice of the goddess of death.

If she used to think of Thor as a stupid, childish brother who posed no threat at all, now she truly regarded him as a threat.

Because this sudden attack almost shook her control over the divine realm.

This is also why Hela suddenly changed her attitude and agreed to hand over the Cosmic Cube in exchange for Thanos no longer causing trouble for her.

Asgard is her root and the source of her power.

"That's right. Today I will defeat you in front of all the people of Asgard."

Thor apparently had not yet realized that he had completely angered his eldest sister. He raised his hammer high, released the power of thunder and storm, and jumped up and rushed forward.

The Hulk and Valkyrie followed, attacking from the left and right respectively.

Especially the Valkyrie, all her comrades, companions and sisters died at the hands of Hela, so she had a deep hatred for Odin's eldest daughter and started fighting desperately right from the start.

But unfortunately, the gap in strength cannot be made up by numbers.

Just a moment!

Hela first shot out several sharp swords to force the Valkyrie back, then kicked the Hulk who rushed over recklessly, and finally grabbed Thor's wrist, so that the hammer that was flashing with dazzling electric light did not fall down, but stayed only a few centimeters away from her head.

“Ah ...

Thor tried his best to smash it down, but no matter how he roared or how he squeezed out his last bit of strength, he could only barely maintain the status quo.

"Haha, defeat me? Take back what belongs to you? Do you think you are Odin?"

The corners of Hela's mouth curled up wildly, revealing a smile full of sarcasm and mockery.

"Don't mention Father! You've tarnished his reputation and honor!"

I don’t know if it was because he used too much force or was too emotional, but Thor’s bearded face turned red instantly.

"Reputation? Glory? Hahahaha! Why not ask the Valkyrie next to you what the real Odin looks like? I think she should know best."

Hela laughed wildly, swung her fist and knocked her stupid and stubborn brother to the ground with a bang.

There is no doubt that even after awakening the power of thunder and storm, Thor is still no match for Hela.

Because the difference in divine power between them is at least one level.

And this one-level gap is often overwhelming and despairing.

The most obvious example is that no matter how Thor releases his power, he cannot cause any real harm to Hela.

However, "admitting defeat" and "giving up" are obviously not Thor's character.

He quickly got up from the ground again and charged forward fearlessly.

For a moment, the biological brother and sister staged a fratricide drama in front of the main hall of the Asgard Palace.

Whether it was the dazzling thunder and storm, or the simple blade of death, they were quickly destroying everything around them, even the throne they were fighting for.

Even the Eternal Spear used by Odin was thrown on the ground like garbage and no one cared about it.

But unlike the others who were fighting desperately, Loki was like a bystander who had nothing to do with him. He sat alone on the highest spire in Asgard, watching the people fighting for their lives below with a slightly sarcastic look, and whispered in a voice that only he could hear: "One is for power, ambition and desire, and the other is for the people, glory and inheritance from their father. But in the final analysis, they are pursuing the same thing, that is, the throne of Asgard. This matter is a big joke from beginning to end, isn't it?"

“没错！ 不管是托尔还是海拉，本质上都是当年奥丁犯下的那个错误的延续。

他既做不到为了野心和梦想而去牺牲一切，也做不到真正的善良与仁慈。

这也是大多数普通人终其一生都生活在痛苦、悔恨与纠结中的原因。”

一个熟悉的声音突然从背后传来。

“谁？！”

洛基猛然间转过身，结果瞳孔瞬间放大到极致，那张略显苍白的脸上顿时被吓得一片煞白。

因为此刻站在他身后的不是别人，正是曾经在其内心之中留下巨大阴影的左思本人。

作为最直接的受害者，他可不会忘记这位小安妮的父亲、从多玛姆手中抢走了半个黑暗维度的可怕魔神对自己做过些什么。

紧张！

畏惧！

害怕！ 在短短几秒钟时间内，洛基的脑海中就闪过了无数个想要逃跑的念头，但最终都被理智所掐灭。

通过小安妮的描述，他已经知道旅法师这三个字所代表的意义，以及对方拥有的恐怖力量。

在这种天堑般的差距面前，他就像那些如同蝼蚁般的凡人面对自己时一样，不管怎样挣扎、反抗都是徒劳的。

所以在短暂的慌乱之后，洛基很快镇定下来，单手抚胸深深的鞠了一躬：“非常荣幸能够再次见到您，伟大的索斯阁下。请允许我代表阿斯加德欢迎您的造访。”

“呵呵，不错。

看来在奥丁所有的孩子中，你这个养子才是最有潜力的。

因为你已经领悟到了自己力量的真谛，同时也看透了自己想要什么和需要什么。

最重要的是你已经获得了来自这个宇宙之外的魔法知识，在某种程度上具有了类似像我们旅法师一样的超越者思维。

也许用不了多久你就会发现这个宇宙真正的奥秘，甚至是完全超越奥丁达到一个全新的高度。”

左思饶有兴致打量着这位谎言与诡计之神给出自己的评价。

不得不说，洛基和托尔在某种程度上的确就是没有任何血缘关系的亲兄弟。

他们在对自身力量的领悟上都展现出了难以用语言形容的“顿悟”。

托尔就是在奥丁死后非常短的时间内开始觉醒雷霆与风暴神力，洛基也同样是在意识到自己与魔法力量之间的关系后挣脱束缚开始拥抱那个真正的自我。

难怪两人之间不管怎么闹，在大是大非问题上总能达成一致立场。

“这都是多亏了您女儿的指点。

如果不是她，我可能一辈子都被限制在奥丁为我编织的囚笼中。

不过关于奥丁，我几个疑惑想要向您寻求答案。

为什么您说他没有为了追求野心和梦想而去牺牲一切的觉悟？

难道说他当年突然转变态度将海拉放逐封印是有什么特殊的原因吗？”

不得不说，洛基的确是一个相当聪明且敏锐的人，一下子就察觉到了短短几句话中所蕴含的巨量信息。

左思笑着反问道：“你知道无限宝石中最神秘、最不为人所知的灵魂宝石，想要获取需要付出怎样的代价吗？”

“需要付出什么样的代价？”

洛基抬起头露出十分好奇的眼神。

因为他也非常想要知道，这个代价达到了怎样的程度，居然让一度打造出无限手套并且收集到五颗无限宝石只差最后一步的奥丁选择了放弃，而且在态度和治国理念上发生了一百八十度的大转弯。

这种转向是如此的突然、迅速，以至于连立下赫赫战功身为王储的海拉都没办法适应。

“想要让灵魂宝石现世，需要献祭自己挚爱之人的灵魂。”

左思微笑着缓缓说出了这个无比炸裂的答案。

瞬间！

洛基浮现出恍然大悟的表情，同时整个人因为得知了这个秘密而兴奋的颤抖。

他终于明白奥丁选择放弃的理由。

毕竟能被这位阿斯加德神王视作挚爱的人一共就那么几个。

算上当时托尔还没有出生，自己也同样没有被收养，那奥丁能选择牺牲的挚爱就只有一个，那便是他唯一的女儿死亡女神海拉。

换而言之，奥丁封印海拉并不是因为出于厌恶、排斥、憎恨，而是出于另外一个令人难以置信的理由——爱。

他一直都是深爱着这位长女，不忍心牺牲海拉来满足自己的野心，所以才将其囚禁起来。

这也很好的解释了为什么奥丁明明那么独断专横完全就是个暴君，但却在晚年不断展示自己仁慈宽容的一面，并且把这些理念灌输给了作为下一任王储的托尔。

因为在他的内心之中充满了对于长女海拉的愧疚！ 或者说他的后半生都沉浸在这种感情中无法自拔。

原来那个令人敬畏的阿斯加德众神之王并不像人们想象中那样强大、伟岸！ 恰好相反！

他是一个彻头彻尾的失败者！ 一个胆怯、懦弱、不敢直面自己内心真正自我的可悲之人！

“哈哈哈哈哈哈！ 有趣！

这可真是太有趣了！

果然，这个世界乃至整个宇宙完全就像是个令人发笑的恶作剧。”

洛基突然像疯了一样捂着脸止不住的狂笑，并且还手舞足蹈的撞开双臂想要拥抱什么。

足足笑了一分钟，他才好不容易强迫自己止住笑声，用一种无所谓的态度继续追问：“所以您从一开始就知道奥丁是什么样的人，然后与他签订了一份契约？”

左思微微点了下头：“是的，我们的确签订了一份契约。不过内容可能跟你想象中的略有不同。”

“哦？能像我透露一些内容吗？”

洛基捋了捋自己耳边垂下来的黑色长发，眼睛里闪烁着兴奋中略低癫狂的光芒。

“首先，我必须确保阿斯加德作为一个文明的存在和延续。

其次，我会保证他的后代继续坐在那张王座上统治着人民。

最后，我要保证不管是托尔还是海拉，都不会在他死后的王位争夺战中杀死彼此。

作为报酬，我可以拿走阿斯加德的一切宝物、技术和资源，甚至是让整个神域都臣服在我的脚下。

怎么样，听起来奥丁是不是像一个正试图挽回自己犯下错误的好父亲？”

左思没有任何隐瞒，大大方方把契约内容最重要的部分抖落出来。

因为事到如今已经没有了隐藏的必要。

他马上就要开始收割属于自己的果实。

“所以……海拉和托尔实际上都是在争夺一个根本不存在的王位？你才是那个真正的阿斯加德之王？”

洛基目瞪口呆显然无法相信向来高傲自负的奥丁居然在生命末期签下了这样的契约。

不过很快，他就明白了自己养父的用心良苦。

毕竟无论阿斯加德是落在海拉手上还是托尔手上，都很难在处心积虑想要收集六颗无限宝石的灭霸手中讨到什么便宜。

最后大概率是在内忧外患的夹击下走向衰落乃至崩溃、灭亡。

而且他最心爱的儿子和女儿还会上演骨肉相残的戏码。

现在虽然通过这份契约放弃了很多曾经让阿斯加德人为之骄傲的东西，可整个文明和种族却能成功延续下来度过危机。

同时托尔和海拉这对亲生姐弟也能避免亲手杀死自己的血亲。

这是何等的睿智与果断！

甚至已经完全预见了自己死后可能会发生的一切。

更让洛基感到不可思议的是，向来最在意面子和权威的奥丁居然完全将其舍弃掉。

“阿斯加德之王？ 我对这种无聊的头衔跟称号可没有半点兴趣。

因为它不光意味着权力，同样还意味着相应的责任跟义务。

我可不想浪费时间去管这群满脑子都是肌肉缺乏理性思维的家伙。”

左思赤裸裸毫不掩饰的表达了自己对于阿斯加德人所谓“尚武精神”的鄙夷。

与这些家伙相比，他宁愿选择去统治弱小、贪婪、充斥着各种各样欲望的地球人。

起码地球人知道在面对强大威胁的时候要尽可能的选择低头忍耐来保全自身，等待时机成熟之后再将骑在自己头上作威作福的敌人干掉。

可有毒的阿斯加德人呢？

他们面对比自己强大不知道多少倍且拥有合法继承权的死亡女神海拉时直接选择刚正面，结果被杀得血流成河。

而且事后完全没有吸收教训，在托尔和海拉这对姐弟分出胜负之前又急不可耐的跳出来发动起义。

In the original timeline, when they became interstellar refugees and were intercepted by Thanos, they were slaughtered and almost exterminated because they stubbornly refused to hand over the Cosmic Cube.

Although in the eyes of many people this is a symbol of bravery, fearlessness and indomitable spirit, it is a noble virtue that deserves to be written about and praised loudly.

Because it would be fine if the Asgardians could remain as powerful as they were during Odin's reign, because others couldn't defeat them or provoke them anyway.

But once the decline begins, it will trigger an avalanche-like chain reaction.

Because they are inflexible and do not know how to bow to the strong, they are easily used as examples by the newly emerging overlords to serve as a warning to others.

That is why Odin signed a contract with Zoro, the newly emerged powerful dimensional demon, in the last few years of his life to ensure that Asgard would not collapse and perish after his death.

After all, no one knows better than him how dark and cruel this universe is.

Whether it was the ruthless pursuit and extermination of the former overlord Skrulls by the rise of the Kree Empire, or the series of destructive colonizations launched when the Earthlings rose, all of these proved this point from the side.

After figuring this out, Loki couldn't help but sigh: "It turns out that Thor, Hela, and I are all enjoying the legacy left by Odin. Maybe in his eyes, we will always be just a group of children who never grow up."

"In the eyes of parents, no matter how old their children are, they are always just children. Besides, do you think Thor is really mature enough to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining Asgard's position in this universe?"

As he spoke, Zuo Si turned his gaze towards the God of Thunder who had been suppressed by Hela and pinned to the ground not far away and could not move.

Even though little Annie had made him a powerful weapon that was in no way inferior to the Storm Axe, the difference in strength obviously could not be made up by just one weapon.

Because Hela has now inherited the throne of Asgard and obtained the enormous divine power accumulated by previous kings including Odin, which is also the most fundamental power in the realm of God.

This is also why in the original timeline, Thor finally chose to return the Eternal Flame to the fire giant Surtur, allowing Asgard's greatest enemy to be resurrected and destroy the realm of God.

Apart from this method, it is impossible to take back the throne from his sister.

With Hela's defeat, he eventually inherited the power by gaining the recognition of what little power remained.

The best proof is that he was able to almost kill Thanos with the Infinity Gauntlet with his Stormbreaker.

So before he died, Odin told his son that people are the most important and precious wealth of a country. In fact, he was hinting at how he should take back the throne and power of Asgard from Hela.

"Well - okay, maybe Odin is right. Thor will probably always be a child who never grows up."

Seeing his good brother being brutally abused by his elder sister and still pretending to be stubborn, Loki couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

The reason why he always felt that he had a chance to become the crown prince was closely related to Thor's childish and stupid behavior.

After all, when a fool can become the heir to the throne, it is hard for his brothers and sisters not to have some ambition to replace him.

Fortunately, Loki has now recognized himself, so he no longer has any obsession with the throne of Asgard. He just asked uncertainly: "How do you plan to deal with the conflict between the siblings? Split Asgard into two and let them rule one part separately?"

"why not?"

Zuo Si asked back with an unfathomable smile.

"What! Are you serious?"

Loki's face changed drastically, his face full of shock and disbelief.

“Don’t look at me like that.

My split into two is very different from what you understand.

Okay, don't just stand there, go and carry out that prank you've been planning for so long.

When your performance is over, I will appear in person to distribute Odin's inheritance.

Believe me, the results will surprise all of you.”

After saying this, Zuo Si turned into a bubble and disappeared on the spot in an instant.

As soon as he left, little Annie, who had sent Thanos' gift out of the country, sneaked out of the portal, holding Surtur's crown in one hand and the Eternal Flame in the other. She asked with great excitement and anticipation, "I brought the things. When are you going to start?"

"Of course now!"

Looking at this girl who was eager to create chaos in the world, Loki smiled happily and took the two things without hesitation.

"Come on! Try to make a bigger noise!"

Little Annie waved her little fists and tried her best to fan the flames.

After all, she didn't want such an interesting prank to end in a whimper.

"Don't worry, I am the number one magician in the Nine Realms. I will take this opportunity to let them understand the power and terror of magic."

As the last word came out of his mouth, Loki jumped directly from the top of the tower and landed steadily on an open space less than ten meters away from Hela and Thor.

"Loki! You're finally here! Help me!"

Thor's reaction was still very slow, and he didn't notice the two deadly things in the other party's hands.

But the careful Hela noticed the huge crown of the Flame Giant and the Eternal Flame that she was very familiar with. Her pupils suddenly dilated and she asked in a stern voice: “What on earth do you want to do?”

"What do you think?"

Loki raised his chin slightly and revealed an extremely crazy smile. He looked like a madman who had lost his mind.

"Don't do anything stupid! If Surtur is resurrected, he will destroy all of Asgard and bring about Ragnarok."

For the first time, Hela's eyes revealed tension and fear.

"Oh-no! Loki! Are you crazy?"

Thor also came to his senses at this time. He didn't care about the grudge between him and his sister. His first reaction was to prevent the Eternal Fire from falling on Surtur's crown.

After all, it was he who personally killed this enemy who had lost most of his power in order to prevent the prophecy of Ragnarok from coming true, and brought the crown back to Asgard as a trophy.

"crazy?

Maybe.

After all, this is the only option to defeat Hela, right?

As you probably already know, her powers come from Asgard.

Therefore, only by destroying the divine realm can you take back the throne that belongs to you.

I'm helping you.

Also, no need to thank me, just consider it as paying back the debt I owed you."

After saying this, Loki threw the Eternal Fire into the middle of Surtur's huge crown without any hesitation.

The next second...

Boom!!! The blinding red flames instantly completely enveloped the crown.

Before the other two could react, an extremely huge giant made entirely of fire elements suddenly rose from the ground, wielding a flaming sword in his hand.

Just one strike! The entire palace collapsed in an instant, and countless broken buildings and stones fell like raindrops, hitting the ground with a loud bang.

"No!!!!!!!"

Seeing that the prophecy of Ragnarok had come true, Hela immediately let out a howl of anger and despair.

Because no one knows better than her how powerful Surtur is with the bonus of the Eternal Fire.

He is the oldest being in the entire Nine Realms. It is said that he possesses the combined power of a thousand scorching stars. Even Odin in his prime paid a huge price to defeat him.

Now no one in the whole Asgard can be a match for Surtur, not even the goddess of death Hela.

Thor was also so shocked by the spectacular scene that he was speechless, and he just subconsciously clenched the hammer in his hand tightly.

In just a few seconds, the huge fire giant had torn apart and ignited the core area of ​​Asgard, turning it into a sea of ​​​​flaming lava.

Loki stood right in front of Surtur, completely ignoring the huge threat behind him, grinning and asking, "How is it, are you satisfied with this result?"

"Why? Why would you do that?"

Hela felt like she was going crazy.

You know, in her eyes, Loki, who is only good at playing tricks, has always been a complete clown, and his threat level is not even as great as that of the fool Thor.

But now, it is such a clown who has done the craziest and most destructive thing.

"Didn't I just say that? To help my good brother Thor regain the throne."

Loki shrugged his shoulders innocently.

"But I didn't ask you to destroy Asgard! Look what you did?"

Thor obviously did not appreciate it. Instead, he yelled at his good sister and began to ask the Valkyries and others to help organize the evacuation of civilians and take them on the spaceship he came on.

Loki calmly defended himself, “But this is the only way for you to win.

Remember what Odin said before he died?

He said that for a kingdom, people are always the most important.

Because a place with people can be called a country.

So let the prophecy of Ragnarok come true, destroy Asgard, and take everyone away from this place to rebuild a new realm of the gods.

This is how he tells you how to defeat Hela."

"Odin said this before he died?!"

Hila’s expression instantly turned extremely ugly. She obviously couldn’t accept that her father, who had betrayed and abandoned her, would trick her before his death.

Thor recalled for a moment and nodded quickly, "Yes, he seemed to have said that. But... is this really what he meant?"

“What else?

Hela's power comes from Asgard, from the power she gained by inheriting the throne.

Do you think you can defeat her without destroying Asgard?

If you could, you wouldn't be the one pinned to the ground and unable to move.

In fact, you are just a bait to attract Hela's attention! My real plan is to resurrect the fire giant Surtur and make the prophecy of Ragnarok come true!

Dear sister, do you understand now the price of despising me?

Hahahahahaha!”

Loki laughed unscrupulously at Hela, who always looked down on him, his eyes filled with satisfaction after successful revenge.

"Asshole! I'm going to kill you!"

Hela was undoubtedly completely enraged. Knowing that she was no match for Surtur, she swung the blade in her hand and killed Loki, intending to kill this despicable and sinister villain before Asgard was completely destroyed.

But unfortunately, when the sword touched Loki's figure, it went through without any hindrance.

An illusion?! Thor and Hela immediately realized that the Loki they saw was a fake, and they turned around and began to look for him.

Soon, they saw a familiar figure on a spire that had not yet been destroyed not far away.

"Want to kill me?

Forget it! I am totally different now than I was before.

Just sit here and watch the destruction of Asgard and the falling of the crown above your head.

From now on, the whole universe will know that Hela, the goddess of death, is nothing but a joke! A pathetic loser who was fooled! And I am the god of conspiracy and trickery who fooled you like a clown! "

Loki made a declaration to the entire Asgard like a villain boss.

Especially when he saw the rage and hatred in the eyes of the goddess of death, as well as the awe and fear shown by the people who once looked down on him, he suddenly felt extremely satisfied.

Even Thor, the God of Thunder, was swallowing his saliva at this moment.

Because this kind of Loki made him feel very strange and scary.

Just as thousands of Asgardians panicked and fled into their spaceships, preparing to leave their homes, a strange, playful and cunning smile appeared on Loki's face, and then he raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

Bang! With a crisp sound, Asgard, which had been destroyed by the fire giant Surtur and left only a large area of ​​ruins, suddenly returned to its original state.

Faced with this sudden change, everyone was stunned.

Some people even pinch themselves or slap themselves in the mouth, trying to confirm through the pain whether they are dreaming.

But Thor, who grew up with Loki day and night, immediately realized that everything that happened just now was not real at all, but an illusion created by the other party through magic.

In other words, Loki fooled everyone.

He did not throw the Eternal Flame into the crown to resurrect Surtur.

The second person to wake up was the goddess of death Hela.

After all, her power is closely related to the entire Asgard, and when Surtur destroyed the realm of God just now, her power did not weaken or disappear.

"Damn you Loki! How dare you lie to me?"

Hela summoned thousands of sharp blades in an instant, obviously a little angry and embarrassed.

You know, she has never been teased like this in her life.

“Hahahahahaha!

Laugh!

Why don't you guys smile?

Isn't the farce that just happened interesting enough? People of Asgard, take a good look at this, this is your king.

Both Hela and Thor were fooled by my trick. "

Loki was obviously very happy, and at the same time, he didn't hesitate to make sarcastic remarks, not taking the opponent's threat seriously at all.

Because just when Hela was about to launch an attack, he simply raised the Eternal Flame and Surtur's Crown in his hands again, the implication of which was self-evident.

After all, having just experienced the extremely realistic destruction of Asgard, no one could guarantee whether this madman would really bring about the prophesied Ragnarok.

At this moment, although Loki behaved like a funny clown, no Asgardian dared to laugh at him.

Even those who normally looked down on him kept their mouths shut, for fear of accidentally irritating this guy who had completely let himself go.

Just like that, after completely embracing himself, Loki finally won the respect and awe of the entire divine realm in his own way.

It's like there is a person that everyone looks down on on a daily basis, and suddenly one day he stands in the city center with a nuclear bomb and says he is going to detonate it. Anyone would feel scared involuntarily.

Just when the scene fell into silence and no one dared to say a word, a burst of crisp applause broke the silence.

Snap, snap, snap——

Zuo Si, who had been watching the show for a long time, finally showed up and praised it generously, "What a wonderful performance!

Not only did your prank fool everyone, but it almost scared the shit out of them.

Especially the illusion that is so real that it brings out your talent in this area to the fullest.

If Odin were still alive, he would be proud of your performance today.

Because you have used your actions to make the proud and almost arrogant Asgardians understand that they are only one step away from destruction."

“Thank you for the compliment, it’s my honor.

Now please begin to announce what will be done with Odin's legacy.

While my ambitious sister has calmed down and the other brother has begun to reflect.

Otherwise, God knows if they will start fighting again."

After saying this, Loki placed one hand on his chest and saluted in a very exaggerated manner.

"Disposing of Odin's legacy? What do you mean!"

Hela’s expression changed slightly, and her eyes revealed a strong sense of vigilance.

Loki sneered in response, “Of course it was the contract Odin signed with Lord Thor before his death.

You don't think he died so easily without making any preparations, do you?

No! Odin sees farther than any of you.

And he arranged everything before he died.

It is time to put an end to this farce of fighting for inheritance..."
