Loki's plan was simple.
He would have Hela assassinate Thor; if Adam didn't care about Thor's life, Thor would surely die, and afterward, Loki would re-seal Hela and continue his plan.
If Adam intervened to help Thor, Loki would have Hela kill Adam as well; even if Hela couldn't defeat Adam, she could at least stall him for a moment.
At that point, he could also control the Destroyer to kill Thor.
Failing that, even if everything else failed, as long as Thor didn't return to the Royale Palace, Loki could still gain enough prestige to secure the throne of the Royale Palace by killing the Frost Giant King and destroying Jotunheim.
"Thor Odinson, interesting.
Since he is Odin's son, I'll be happy to kill him."
When Hela heard that the person she was to kill had the surname Odinson, she immediately guessed it was her brother, but she didn't hesitate.
Because from the day she was sealed, she had no connection to the Odinson family; she would mercilessly kill anyone who dared to oppose her.
This included her father, Odin, her blood-related brother, and this fool who might be another brother.
"I advise you to be careful; Thor has a formidable Midgardian by his side named Adam."
Loki told Hela Thor's approximate location and kindly offered some advice.
But Hela clearly didn't take it to heart:
"What formidable individuals could there be among these mortals of Midgard?
They are all just trash that can be crushed with a flick of a hand."
In her mind, any ordinary person from the Royale Palace would be an invincible existence on Midgard, let alone her, the dignified Lady Deathstrike.
"Just be careful yourself."
Loki said no more and instantly vanished from the spot using magic.
Meanwhile, after realizing Loki would not cancel Thor's exile, Sif and The Warriors Three found Heimdall and asked him to open the Bifrost Bridge to send them to Midgard.
This scene was witnessed by the returning Loki, who immediately went to the treasury, retrieved the ancient winter coffin, the source of power for the Frost Giant race, froze Heimdall, and ordered soldiers to imprison him.
He would absolutely not allow Thor to return to the Royale Palace.
He had even prepared for the worst-case scenario: destroying the Bifrost Bridge after eliminating Jotunheim.
After all, he was proficient in space magic; even without the Bifrost Bridge, he could travel to the other Realms by following the branches of the World Tree using space magic.
"Why do I feel like my body has changed somehow?"
Wanda lightly flicked her fingers and found that she could create a sonic boom sensation with just two fingers.
They say there are only overworked oxen, not overworked land, but in their recent second "battle," she was basically in a state of being completely dominated and was no match for Adam.
Although the process was indeed enjoyable, her body eventually couldn't take it, almost exhausting all her strength.
However, just as she was about to end the "battle" to recover, she found that her body had recovered at an unexpected speed and seemed to have been greatly strengthened.
Even though Adam had already strengthened her body before.
"Husband, did you do this?"
"Hmm, did you just swallow it?"
Adam was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something and asked Wanda in return.
He had indeed strengthened Wanda's body, but because he didn't want to change her Bloodline, he had only used Supreme Power to regulate it.
Therefore, the strengthening effect on her physical body wasn't particularly exaggerated.
It was best to do such things gradually; if too much strengthening occurred at once, the physical body might not be able to bear it.
But just now, he hadn't used Supreme Power to strengthen Wanda, yet Wanda's physical strength had greatly increased, as if she had consumed some heavenly treasure or miraculous elixir.
This couldn't help but lead him to some absurd conjectures.
Wanda's face immediately flushed upon hearing this:
"It was too long, it got stuck in my throat, and I accidentally swallowed a large mouthful.
Yours has this use too?"
"It should be."
Adam nodded.
His current physical body, infused with various Bloodlines, and having eaten god tree fruit, cleansed daily by Supreme Power, had long ceased to be mortal.
Even a single hair from his body contained strange energy.
Just one drop of his blood could transform a mortal into an existence surpassing Kibutsuji Muzan.
So, his life essence was naturally a top-tier tonic.
It was just that he hadn't thought in this direction before, nor would he normally.
"If I had known, I would have swallowed it all..."
Wanda couldn't help but murmur upon hearing this, but she suddenly realized mid-sentence that the remark was a bit too much and quickly covered her mouth.
However, the next second, she pounced on Adam again.
"Let's verify it again!"
Since her body had recovered, she would continue; after three years without seeing Adam, she couldn't let him off so easily this time.
However, just then, a thunderous roar suddenly echoed outside, interrupting their "verification."
Adam swept his mental power outwards, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on his face:
"It's this guy, surprisingly."
"What's going on?"
Wanda asked curiously.
Adam waved his hand, and both their bodies were instantly covered in clothes.
"Do you want to visit the legendary Royale Palace?"
The loud noise just now was caused by the battle between Odin's eldest daughter, Lady Deathstrike Hela, and Thor.
With a quick thought, he knew this must be Loki's doing.
Loki in this Universe was proficient in magic, much stronger and smarter than the Loki in the movie Universe who only specialized in close-quarters stabbing.
It was normal for him to release Hela to deal with Thor and him.
However, Loki clearly didn't know his current strength, according to Thor's account.
Although Heimdall's eyes could see any place in the Nine Realms, Heimdall only had one pair of eyes and couldn't see everything happening in the Nine Realms.
Most of the time, he was monitoring the vicinity of the Royale Palace to prevent anyone from intruding.
The occasional times he looked towards Midgard in recent years were at Thor's request, to see how Jane was living, if she was safe, and if she had a new boyfriend, and so on.
So, Thor and Loki were unaware of the Galactus incident, nor did they know that Adam had toured the Universe.
They were even less aware of Adam's return to Earth and his battle with the Celestials, and at that time, they were fighting the Frost Giants in Jotunheim.
"Royale Palace?"
Wanda's face immediately showed interest.
Normal people would be interested in the Royale Palace from the mythical stories they grew up hearing, just as we are with the Sage Realm and the Heavenly Court; if one could visit, no one would refuse.
"Yes, we'll go to the Royale Palace for our honeymoon; we originally planned to leave tomorrow, but it seems we can go today."
Adam explained with a smile.
Wanda jumped up and hugged Adam:
"Wherever you go, I go!"
