"So, Thor, the biggest mistake you made is that you don't know how to endure, you don't understand the importance of strength, and you don't know what it means when they say that revenge for a nobleman is not late even after ten years."
Alaric warned Thor.
"Uncle is right! I was too impulsive! I should calm down first, and only when I have the strength to take revenge should I go make trouble for the Frost Giants!"
Thor's hand clenched into a fist on his knee, showing that he truly realized his mistake!
"That's right, you must be humble and work hard! Until you become a strong man who can defeat all enemies, you will realize that those enemies who lurk and threaten Asgard are nothing but clowns!"
"I understand! I'll do it!!" Thor shouted excitedly, as if filled with adrenaline.
"So what do you think you should do in the future?"
"I'll regain Mjolnir's recognition! I'll return to Asgard! I'll inherit Odin's will! I'll become the new God King!!"
Thor suddenly stood up and shouted!
"Even if it takes a long time, aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid! I won't give up unless I die! I don't want to disappoint Odin!"
Thor looked determined.
"But you're forgetting that Odin said he would banish you to Earth forever?"
"This…" Thor suddenly froze.
Oh, right!
Odin's command was that he would never return to Asgard!
Then he… even if he regains his strength, he still can't go back!
"You're still too young, Thor." Alaric stood up and patted Thor on the shoulder.
"What should I do, Uncle!?"
"Thor, remember: even if you can't return to Asgard, that can't stop you from becoming the strongest and the new Allfather of the Nine Realms; if you can't grasp that truth, then forget what you just said."
Alaric said this and left the room, leaving Thor alone to think.
As for the news that Odin wasn't dead, he had no intention of telling Thor.
Only through complete despair can the strongest faith and power emerge.
Alaric didn't want Thor to rely on luck.
Therefore, before the Four Warriors of the Immortal Palace come to Earth, this was the best time for Thor to temper himself.
By then, the news that Odin wasn't dead would also become part of Thor's motivation.
Together with Loki's actions, Thor would surely rise again.
...
Loki, who had been quietly observing Thor, suddenly burst out with a strong killing intent!
He had finally relied on the news of Odin's death to break Thor and extinguish his will.
But as a result, under Alaric's persuasion, Thor actually recovered!
Thus, Loki's plan failed!
"Indeed, my greatest enemy is still Alaric."
Loki thought quietly.
At first, Loki hadn't been so angry, nor had he desperately wanted to sit on the throne of the God King, or decided to kill Thor.
The root of it all was that Loki discovered he wasn't Odin's biological son!
But a descendant of Jotunheim, a Frost Giant!
An enemy of Asgard!
After Loki discovered abnormalities in his body in Jotunheim, he secretly entered the palace treasury, touched the Casket of Ancient Winters, which only Frost Giants could touch and confirmed his origin.
Later, he learned the truth from Odin's own mouth.
That was something Loki could not accept!
It also made him firmly decide that, after Odin fell into deep sleep, he would deal with Thor's problem.
At first, he thought: if Thor was willing to stay on Earth, live peacefully as an ordinary man, and completely abandon his identity as Prince, Loki would back off.
But now it seemed something was wrong.
Just then, Loki suddenly remembered Alaric, the uncle!
What if Alaric learned everything that happened in Asgard, found out his identity, and came to Asgard, what then!?
He couldn't defeat Alaric!!
Loki paced nervously back and forth, desperately trying to think if Alaric had any weaknesses.
It turned out that, because he didn't know much about Alaric, he couldn't think of any at all!!!
...
Alaric, who had just left the room and was about to find Jane, suddenly felt something stir in his heart.
Alaric, who possessed foresight, blessings, prophecy, powerful perception, and intuition, sensed a trace of killing intent directed toward him.
Alaric slightly peered into the future scenes and found the source of that killing intent.
It was Loki from Asgard.
Alaric knew that Loki had been observing Thor, but he had simply ignored him.
But now, you actually dare to target me?
That's already going too far.
Haven't you been beaten enough!
Alaric thought, activated teleportation magic, and arrived at the Golden Palace of Asgard.
...
At that moment, Loki was pacing back and forth, trying to figure out how to harm Alaric.
Then Alaric appeared.
"Loki, God King? How majestic you are."
"Ah… Uncle!" When Loki saw Alaric, his heart trembled!
The one who shouldn't have come, the one who shouldn't have come, always comes the fastest!
Exactly what I feared the most!
Loki screamed in his mind!
"Why did Uncle suddenly come?" Loki's smile froze stiffly on his face…
"Nothing much, I just felt someone wanted to kill me, so I came to take a look."
Alaric said this while walking toward Loki.
"Uncle, you must be joking, who would dare do anything to you!"
Loki watched Alaric approach, holding Gungnir in his right hand, wondering if he could unleash Gungnir's power to deal with Alaric.
Then Gungnir was snatched by Alaric.
"Uncle, you…?" Loki was utterly tense.
"Nothing, it's just that when I heard Thor say Odin was dead, I thought, maybe I could come and sit on the throne of the God King myself?"
Alaric released lightning from his hand; Loki shuddered and immediately dropped the spear.
Alaric held Gungnir and sat down on the throne in front of Loki.
"Indeed, the view from here is quite good. Loki, tell me, am I qualified to sit in this seat?"
Alaric looked down at Loki from above.
"Yes, yes! Of course you are qualified!" Loki clenched his right hand and kept nodding.
At this moment, even if Loki was extremely unwilling, he didn't dare contradict Alaric!
What if Alaric discovered his true identity, realized he wasn't from Asgard, and stabbed him to death?!
Loki didn't dare to risk it even a little!!
"Loki, I don't care about your struggle for the throne of the God King with Thor, nor do I feel like restraining or stopping you."
"What does Uncle mean?" Loki suddenly raised his head, his eyes lighting up.
"I don't know if Odin and Frigga ever told you, but although I'm a god, I'm not an Asgardian."
"They mentioned it a little…" Loki nodded.
He'd heard it from Sif when she was talking to Thor.
"So, whatever happens to Asgard has nothing to do with me; who becomes the God King doesn't concern me. But there's one thing…"
"What is it?"
"If anyone ever tries to kill me, I won't be merciful." Alaric looked at Loki as he spoke.
At that moment, Loki felt the hall suddenly become extremely cold; when he looked into Alaric's eyes, it was as if he saw a black hole; he noticed the whole space distorting and blurring, his soul being sucked in.
Just as Loki thought he would completely lose himself in that darkness, everything suddenly returned to normal.
Loki suddenly lost all strength and collapsed to the ground, gasping for breath.
At that moment, his body was already drenched in sweat, and his heart was numb.
He looked up, only to see that the throne was empty.
