Because their positions were different, when Hela was born, Odin was at the peak of his life. As a Skyfather Level powerhouse, he was brimming with ambition, wanting to conquer the Nine Realms on the World Tree, even wanting to conquer the Universe.
So, Hela, born during that period, became Odin's killing tool. All of her strength was exploited to better serve his conquest of the Universe.
But when Thor was born, Odin no longer had the desire to conquer the Universe. Or rather, he had recognized the reality of the Universe, knowing that its waters were deep. He had already given up.
Furthermore, he had been severely wounded and no longer possessed the lofty ambitions of his early years. He only wanted to live a stable life. Therefore, Thor's role was that of a complete second-generation rich kid. Although he was also allowed to lead troops and given the best education, they tried every way to increase his strength.
However, compared to Hela, who was also the first generation, it was like comparing a firefly to the moon. She was truly a being who crawled out of a pile of corpses.
Even now, Odin only wanted to shield Thor from the wind and rain, leaving him a few more years of happiness.
However, now that Lin Feng had said this, was his idea really right?
Instead of letting him live carefree for a few years now, it would be better to tell him in advance and let him prepare.
Moreover, the Star of Solitude assessment had always bothered him greatly.
Because he was definitely going to die, there was no doubt about it. As his injuries worsened, he aged, and his divine power leaked away faster and faster, he would eventually be unable to suppress his eldest daughter, Hela.
And he couldn't release her now either. If he did, and they actually fought, he wouldn't last long before dying. After all, youth was an advantage, even for gods.
But other people didn't necessarily have to die, besides him. For example, his wife, Queen Frigga, and Loki didn't have to die.
But if he wanted to satisfy the conditions of the so-called Star of Solitude, then they all had to die, so he was hesitant.
"Yes, I really don't have many years left!"
Odin sighed and looked at Thor, his eyes filled with both longing and reluctance.
There is great terror in the face of death. If it wasn't truly inevitable, who would be willing? He had even struggled in recent years, trying all sorts of methods to treat his injuries, but to no avail. It was as if it were fate.
"How can this be?" Thor was stunned. He couldn't believe it. Even though Lin Feng had mentioned in his diary that his father would die, he thought it would be many years from now. He never expected it would be just a few years.
"Impossible! The lifespan of us Asgardian royalty can't be so short!"
Thor said quickly.
They, the Asgardian Gods, didn't just pop out of thin air. They passed down their lineage, generation after generation. Ordinary people could live for five thousand years, and the royal family were the elite among them. Odin himself was at the Skyfather Level, with an even longer lifespan. He had lived for at least tens of thousands of years, already an old fossil.
Within the Asgardian Gods, he was just beginning to enter his old age, and as for death, who knew when that would be?
The lifespan of the Asgardian royal family was at least over a hundred thousand years, so he never thought that his parents would really leave him.
So when he first saw Lin Feng's diary, he was so angry that smoke practically billowed from his ears. In his eyes, this wasn't a prophecy, but a curse. If Odin could only live for a few more years, it would basically be the same as the late emperor's unfinished business ending in disaster.
"But this is the reality. You also saw in the diary video how I banished and sealed your sister. That battle was even more brutal than what was shown in the video, and I was already injured before. So now, I'm just barely holding on!" Odin sighed. No one's ambition arises for no reason. His ambition was based on his Skyfather Level strength, plus his daughter being at the Skyfather Level, and the strength Asgard had accumulated over the years.
Similarly, no one's ambition disappears for no reason. He gave up because in the process of unifying the Nine Realms, he saw how terrifying this Universe was. Just on Earth alone, it was unfathomable.
The Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme, was just the tip of the iceberg. In reality, there were many more powerful beings, even in the Universe, who could wound him.
Not to mention, the falling out with his daughter, the Death Goddess Hela, was far from the casual affair portrayed in the video. He sent the Valkyries to deal with her, and what was the result?
Asgard's Valkyrie army, the backbone of their conquests, was wiped out. Countless other elite units suffered devastating losses. Even after more than a thousand years, Asgard was still just a shell of its former self.
The average Asgardian could live for five thousand years, and their reproductive capabilities were tied to their lifespan, making them very weak.
A thousand years had only barely allowed them to produce a new generation.
Compared to ordinary Earthlings, their population would have increased dozens of times over by now.
Hearing this, Thor was stunned. No wonder, in his eyes, his father, Odin, had seemed increasingly weak over the years, to the point where Asgard's rule over the Nine Realms was tottering.
Aside from the Dwarves, who had a good relationship with Asgard, everyone else was arrogant. Laufey, the leader of the Frost Giants, would call Odin "Father," but that didn't stop him from attacking at the slightest provocation.
And territories like Earth, they only claimed in name; they never truly ruled them.
He thought all of this was because his father, Odin, had grown old and weak. He wanted to re-establish his authority and prepare for his succession.
This was also the beginning of the story in Thor's first movie.
Now he understood that his father wasn't inexplicably weak; he really couldn't fight anymore and only had a few years left to live. Asgard's prestige was maintained by Odin's reputation. If a real battle broke out, the truth would be revealed immediately.
At that moment, the crisis of national destruction and the extinction of the people would immediately follow.
At this moment, Thor, who had been hot-blooded and always eager to achieve great things, immediately calmed down. He knew he couldn't continue like this.
No wonder Lin Feng always jokingly called him a simpleton; he really didn't know anything.
The joy of knowing his brother was still alive also diminished a lot.
