"No need for such trouble—"
Mike's Healing Power could be used not only on people but also on objects.
He waved his hand, throwing a ball of Healing Power that merged into the Destroyer Armor, which was shattered into several pieces before him.
Under the effect of the holy light, the various parts of the Destroyer Armor slowly melted into a mercury-like liquid.
Then, it coalesced into a tall silver battle armor.
Under Mike's mental control, the fifteen-meter-tall silver battle armor gradually shrunk in size.
Finally, it became adult-sized.
Its appearance was somewhat like a life-sized collectible figure.
Through the mental link in his mind, Mike tested the armor's flexibility and intelligence, then nodded with satisfaction.
Just as he had guessed, the Destroyer Armor, as a divine artifact, possessed a considerable amount of "wisdom" even when existing independently.
It was equivalent to a weakened version of Jarvis.
Moreover, after shrinking in size, its movements became smoother.
It was a good helper.
Of course, when necessary, Mike could also temporarily boost the armor's combat power through precise mental control, turning it into a terrifying "killing machine."
After playing with the armor for a while, Mike then tested another one of its functions: its defensive capabilities.
With a thought, the Destroyer Armor quickly transformed into a mercury-like state again, adhering to Mike's body and forming a handsome silver battle armor.
After moving his body, Mike found that wearing the Destroyer Armor only provided a slight increase in his strength and speed.
As for the Destroyer Armor's Physical Immunity ability, it was completely useless to Mike.
Not to mention that Mike already had the Armor of Light to block attacks, his current strength was already enough to ignore most physical attacks.
Therefore, the Destroyer Armor's effect purely as armor was not ideal for Mike.
One could only say it was better than nothing.
However, Mike was mentally prepared for this and was not disappointed.
"Alright, let's go." Then, after concealing the Destroyer Armor's appearance, Mike nodded to Thor and walked out of the treasury.
On the other side, Thor had no objections to Mike repairing the Destroyer Armor and taking it away.
On the contrary, he was pleased with it.
Subsequently, after consulting Mike, Thor took him to find Loki, who was still enjoying the adoration of the people.
After meeting up, the three once again went to the Bifrost, guarded by Heimdall.
Next, Thor's mission was to welcome Odin's return.
Originally, Sif and the Warriors Three also wanted to go to Earth to welcome the All-Father Odin, but Asgard had just experienced turmoil and needed capable individuals to guard it.
Therefore, Thor left them behind.
"Are you ready? I will teleport you to the land of Northern Europe, but whether you can find the All-Father depends on yourselves," Heimdall said, holding the Bifrost Key before the Bifrost.
Heimdall, possessing Supernatural Vision, could see every corner of the Nine Realms.
However, this ability also had its limitations.
The Nine Realms were vast and populous; without a clear target, even Heimdall would find it difficult to locate Odin's exact position in a short time.
Being able to pinpoint Northern Europe was already a stroke of luck.
"Don't worry, Heimdall. Even without a target, I can quickly bring my father back." With blood being thicker than water, Thor was full of confidence in his mission this time.
After all, he wasn't without help on Earth.
At least that "black egg" should be very willing to help Thor find his All-Father, thereby gaining the friendship of the Asgardian gods.
"Then I wish you good luck."
Seeing Thor's confidence, Heimdall said no more, waving the Bifrost Key and teleporting the three to Earth.
As a seven-colored light flashed, three figures instantly appeared on a street in Norway, located in Northern Europe.
"Terrible environment," Loki, who had come from the Divine Realm to a Norwegian street, complained about the messy surroundings before him and said, "What do we do next? Should we go to the police station for help?"
As a member of the gods, Loki always considered himself superior, especially when facing the backward Midgard.
This often caused his behavior to become unconsciously arrogant.
Fortunately, Thor knew better. After ignoring his unreliable brother, he turned to Mike.
"Nursing home." Mike spread his mental power, confirmed his guess, and then offered his suggestion.
Subsequently, the three, led by Mike, walked towards the largest local nursing home.
Before long, the three crossed the main street and arrived at a relatively secluded alley.
At this moment, at the end of the alley, next to a trash can, an old man was rummaging through garbage.
"Father!" Looking at the impoverished old man before him, Thor could not connect him with his All-Father.
It was known that the All-Father had voluntarily given up his divine power when he was exiled to Earth.
And an old man without any abilities would not find it easy to survive in Norway.
"Father, we've come to take you home." Loki looked at Odin's current appearance, and a sense of guilt inevitably arose in his heart.
Tsundere as he was, Loki still cared deeply for his family.
He was the type who was tough on the outside but soft on the inside.
What's more, the other party was his father.
And for Odin to fall to such a state, Loki felt he bore a great responsibility.
"Thor, Loki, you've come." The old man turned his head, a smile on his face.
His natural demeanor was like he was just chatting about everyday life.
"Father, you've suffered. I'll take you home now." Thor stepped forward, about to summon the Bifrost.
"I don't feel hardship…" Odin stopped his eldest son and said, "Life is like a river, and everyone has their own mission. On the contrary, it is you who have worked hard during my absence."
Those who reached Odin's level of power could already see the future in the unseen.
Ragnarok, this was the future of Asgard.
And to change this future involved another person, Odin's eldest daughter, Hela.
That eldest daughter, sealed by Odin in Helheim, was the fuse that Odin predicted would cause Ragnarok in the future.
So the question arose, to prevent Ragnarok, the best way was to kill Hela in advance.
As Asgard's first female War God, Hela had achieved extraordinary feats during Odin's conquest of the Nine Realms.
Her subsequent sealing in Helheim was also because Odin had foreseen that his eldest daughter would become an "enemy" of Asgard in the future.
Sealing her was both to protect Asgard and to protect Hela.
It was just that Odin himself might not have expected that his actions at the time had formed a closed loop.
A closed loop with various hidden dangers.
And with things having developed to the current situation, even if Odin knew he had made a mistake back then, there was no way to correct it.
As for killing his eldest daughter, he, already feeling guilty, clearly could not do it.
Therefore, voluntarily being exiled to Earth might well have been Odin's way of self-escape.
"You're unwilling to return to the Divine Realm because you've lost your power, aren't you?" Loki, who did not understand Odin's true situation, said anxiously, "Just give me time, and I will definitely find a way to help you recover."
Only after truly sitting in that position did Loki realize Odin's importance to Asgard.
Even for atonement, Loki felt it was necessary to bring his father back to the Divine Realm.
"I'm doing very well here." Odin looked at his younger son and said with a smile, "And you're a good child; everything that happened before is not your fault."
Although Loki had an extreme personality, if one were to truly count, he had not actually committed any unforgivable grave sins.
Everything he did was more like an unloved younger son trying to attract the attention of adults through various "pranks."
Having realized this, how could Odin blame him?
But from Loki's perspective, Odin's behavior at this moment was undoubtedly great.
It was like a patriarch indulging a mischievous younger son.
This couldn't help but make Loki deeply emotional, and his eyes unknowingly reddened.
