In Asgard, next to Odin's golden coffin in the Asgard.
"Father, I will unite the Nine Realms, become the Master of the Nine Realms, and clear all obstacles. When you awaken, you will surely be proud of me, not my reckless and brainless brother.
Of course, perhaps you will never see him again."
Loki, holding the Eternal Spear, looked at Odin sleeping in the golden coffin and muttered.
"Guard Father well. Besides Mother, no one is allowed to enter without my command."
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
A team of Asgard guards in golden armor bowed to Loki.
Odin was in slumber, Thor was exiled to Midgard, and Queen Frigga did not manage state affairs.
Therefore, Loki was currently the only one who could temporarily act as King, although everyone secretly was not very convinced by this second prince who had few military achievements.
"Very good!"
Loki's face immediately broke into a satisfied smile when he heard the guards call him "Your Majesty."
Walking out of the Asgard alone, he did not go to Heimdall, who was in charge of guarding the Bifrost Bridge, but instead used magic to quietly leave Asgard and arrive in New Mexico on Earth.
He remembered that when Thor had just returned from Jotunheim, Father Odin had exiled him to this area.
"How could he be gone?"
However, after a search, his expression turned very ugly.
Because not only did he not find Thor, but Mjolnir was also not where it had fallen; he only saw a deep pit.
What did this indicate? It indicated that Thor had very likely retrieved Mjolnir and regained his divine power.
"This is impossible. How could my foolish brother break Father's seal so quickly?"
Thor only used brute force and could not use magic like him.
With a thought, he suddenly narrowed his eyes.
"Could it be him?"
If there was anyone in this backward mortal World of Midgard who could undo the seal on Thor, it could only be that fellow named "Adam."
Thinking of this, he immediately disappeared from the spot using magic.
"He's here, as expected!"
At Adam's wedding, the invisible Loki watched Thor, who was holding Mjolnir and flirting with Jane, and couldn't help but grit his teeth.
Because he knew that things were troublesome now.
He had personally witnessed how strong Adam's power was.
With his power, even with the addition of the Frost Giant King who had lost most of his power, he probably wouldn't be a match.
In his impression, perhaps only Father Odin could suppress Adam, unless...
Thinking of this, a bold idea suddenly popped into Loki's mind, and he quickly disappeared from the wedding scene.
His original plan was to find an opportunity to directly eliminate Thor, who had lost his divine power, so that no one in the entire Asgard could compete with him for the throne, and Father would only have him as a son in his heart.
But Adam's intervention made all of this impossible; even if he activated the powerful Destroyer in the treasury, the result would be the same.
Those Sentinel Robots back then were not weak; individually, they might not be a match for the Destroyer, but if their numbers reached a certain level, even the Destroyer probably couldn't withstand them, and yet Adam easily dealt with all of them.
And at this moment, the only one he could think of who could contend with Adam was his sister Hela, whom he had inadvertently learned about, sealed by Father in Midgard.
According to the information he found, his sister Hela was an extremely ambitious figure, once the vanguard and executioner of the Asgard, and also the former Master of Mjolnir.
She possessed powerful divine power comparable to Odin's; even Odin could not kill her, only seal her in Midgard.
At that time, the strongest Valkyrie legion of the Asgard was annihilated by Hela alone.
However, such a powerful and ambitious figure would certainly be difficult to control, and if not handled well, she could backfire.
But fortunately, when he first learned of his sister Hela's existence, he spent a lot of time researching relevant information and also found the exact location where Hela was sealed.
After a long period of research, he had basically figured out the essence of that seal.
With his magic attainments, and with the assistance of the Eternal Flame from the treasury, he was confident that he could re-seal Hela if she became uncontrollable.
Returning to the Asgard, Loki was about to go to the treasury to retrieve the Eternal Flame when he was blocked by several people.
"Your Majesty, we request that you end Thor's exile."
The people who came were Sif and The Warriors Three, Thor's best friends.
Loki raised an eyebrow at the three:
"My first command cannot violate Father's last command. Our war with Jotunheim is imminent, and our people need the King's policies to be consistently maintained so they can feel safe in difficult times.
All of us must unite and defend the Asgard!"
Hearing Loki's obvious excuse, Sif immediately stood up, ready to beat up this fellow who usually loved pranks and lies the most.
She had done such things countless times when she was a child.
However, she was immediately pulled back by The Warriors Three beside her.
Now Loki was the acting King; hitting Loki again would be betraying the Asgard.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Knowing that Loki would not allow Thor to return to the Asgard, The Warriors Three exchanged glances, pulled Sif, and left.
Loki, on the other hand, snorted coldly, quickened his steps to the treasury to retrieve the Eternal Flame, and once again went to Midgard, arriving at a seaside location in Norway where Hela was sealed.
"Come out, Lady Deathstrike Hela!"
Using the vast and endless power of the Eternal Flame, Loki cast Asgardian magic, slamming his hand down on the ground.
Instantly, a huge magic circle appeared and quickly collapsed.
In about less than thirty seconds, a woman in green leather, with a wicked and charming face, appeared before Loki.
"I didn't expect that I would be released before Odin died. Very good, who are you?"
The woman ran a hand through her hair, and a hedgehog-like crown appeared on her head, while two short swords also appeared in her hands.
Loki subconsciously took a step back, holding the Eternal Flame.
"I am Loki, the current King of Asgard. I command you to help me kill a person. If you can do it, I will take you back to the Asgard; otherwise, I will re-seal you!"
As the energy of the Eternal Flame was activated, the collapsing seal immediately began to restore itself, and a powerful suction pulled Hela, attempting to drag her back in.
Hela's expression changed upon seeing this:
"Kill who?"
She knew that if she didn't agree now, she would immediately be re-sealed.
So, even though she was inwardly furious, she still showed willingness to cooperate, believing that as long as she wasn't sealed, she would have a chance to deal with this little fellow later.
"Thor Odinson!"
Loki stopped activating the power of the Eternal Flame upon hearing this, and then spoke his brother's name.
