The power of thunder and fire pulled wildly inside Thor's body. Amidst an indescribable severe pain, Thor's will rose higher and higher. The more intense the conflict, the faster it climbed.
Just when the barrier of the single universe was about to be broken through, the fusion of thunder and fire was completed, and a new light force appeared in Thor's body.
Combining the power of the thunder of the universe and the fire of civilization, Thor, the God of Light, was born.
The first lightning in the universe fell into his hands and became one with the spear. The flame of civilization fell on his shoulders and became a fluttering cloak.
Thor is floating in the sky with a dazzling halo behind him. He has thunder in one hand and flames in the other. Just like the declarations made by the gods of Asgard when they assumed the priesthood, Thor's voice echoes in the universe:
"I will hold the first thunder in the universe and light the flames for all civilizations. I am a pioneer in the darkness and a protector in times of prosperity. I will add all the light, thunder, flames, and light in the universe.
Body, past, present, and future become one.”
"When the light lasts forever...I will always be there."
All the Asgardians in the Nine Kingdoms, Asgard, raised their heads. They heard this oath, and with this oath, new branches of the World Tree sprouted.
Then the leaves flew, the flames rose, and all the Asgardians knelt down. They heard the deep voice of the father of the gods coming from Odin's sleeping palace: "The new king."
"New king?"
"The new king..."
"New King!"
In the underworld filled with darkness and destruction, a female figure wearing the River Styx let out a vague sigh: "...the new king."
The icy cold smoke slowly rises in this land full of death. The white smoke becomes thinner and thinner. Where the incense string rises, the incense ash falls, and the soft sound of the chess pieces falling on the chessboard echoes in the room.
Among them, Ancient One sighed: "It seems that Asgard will have a powerful new king."
Strange sat opposite her and asked: "So Loki came to you and asked you to take him to Sakaar. Is this just for this?"
"It's not just Loki, this is also what Odin means. If Odin doesn't agree, I won't be able to let his two sons go to such a distant place to cause trouble."
Strange dropped a piece and asked: "So you knew about it early on?"
Ancient One shook his head and said: "Odin already knew the truth about Ragnarok."
"what is that?"
"Asgard has asked too much from the universe, and one day, they will have to repay it. Ragnarok is them repaying the debt they borrowed from the universe."
Ancient One shook his head slightly and said: "The power of the gods is not without reason. It is also a debt, and their creditors are even more powerful."
"I remember you once mentioned that Ragnarok is inevitable. Is this true?"
Ancient One sighed and said: "This has nothing to do with humans. This is the fate of the gods, and it is inevitable."
"But now, Thor has a new priesthood..."
Ancient One shook his head again and said: "The God of Light is not a new priesthood. Odin's real eldest son, Badr, was once the God of Light."
There was a hint of doubt in Gu Yi's tone, and she said: "The priesthood of light inherited by Thor is a bit strange. Balder's priesthood of light represents spring and joy, and is also the god of germination and rebirth, but Thor has nothing to do with this priesthood.
"
"And even if he is promoted to a true god, he should inherit the priesthood of the God of Thunder, not the God of Light."
Ancient One picked up a chess piece and said: "In Asgard, the priesthood of the God of Light is far inferior to that of the God of Thunder. And compared to the priesthood of the God of Light, the power of the God of Thunder that Odin left to him long ago is not easier.
Get it?"
Also confused is Gao Tianzun. Although he has some understanding of Asgard's priesthood system, because he is too far away from Asgard, he doesn't know the difference between the God of Light and the God of Thunder. He only knows that Odin is
Thor, then his son should also be the God of Thunder. Why does it seem that he has changed his priesthood now?
When Thor landed, he looked very ordinary. There was no trace of the power that was close to the creation of the world when his divine power exploded just now. Only the flash of lightning on the spear in his hand showed that his power had been restored.
"Are you promoted?" Gao Tianzun asked Thor.
"Almost." Thor shrugged and said, "I hit that barrier."
"That's a big difference." Gao Tianzun curled his lips and said: "In that case, I don't want to cause trouble for you, so you don't want to cause trouble for me. You can't kill me anyway."
"But you hurt Loki."
"I hurt him???" Gao Tianzun raised his voice and said, "He teamed up with Mephisto and cheated me of a lot of money. He actually dared to come in front of me. I didn't kill him.
It’s to give your father face!!”
Thor said disdainfully: "You are talking as if you can beat the father of the gods."
"Hmph." Gao Tianzun snorted coldly and said, "You underestimate me too much and you think too highly of Odin. I don't care about him, just because you Asgardians are destined to one day..."
Having said this, he paused for a moment, did not continue, then opened the portal and left here, obviously admitting defeat.
The spear in Thor's hand turned into lightning and disappeared, and he walked to Loki's side.
Loki had woken up. He was lying on the ground, staring blankly at the sky. When he saw Thor walking over, Loki turned his gaze to him.
Thor looked down at Loki, casting a shadow over his body. Loki looked away from him again and said, "What are you going to do? Beat me up? Just like when I tricked you before.
Same thing after that?"
"No." Thor's expression was calm. Loki frowned and struggled on the spot in pain, but he couldn't move at all. After losing his divine power and priesthood, such a serious injury left him no room to move.
He saw Thor squat down, untie the chain from his wrist, then tear off the iron chain on it, and put the iron ring fixed on his wrist on his own wrist.
Then, he used this hand to grab the spear that turned into lightning and stabbed himself in the shoulder.
Blood splashed onto Loki's face, and he looked at Thor with his eyes widened.
Thor frowned, and the pained expression flashed away. He supported his body on his knees, looked at Loki and said: "I apologize to you for the time I ignored your situation, and I also apologize to everyone who has ever been because of not being strong enough or...
I apologize to those who cannot fight and are ignored in Asgard."
"Our civilization should not only be about violence and destruction. It is not the world that is wrong, but us."
"My eyes should not only be about military exploits and honor. It is not only those who are injured in battle on the battlefield that are the honor of Asgardians."
"If the once-rotten dogma has penetrated into the bone marrow of everyone in Asgard..." Thor dropped the spear in his hand and touched the wound on his shoulder with that hand, blood flowing from his fingers, he said: "
…The scars and chains will always remind me of the price I have to pay for my short-sightedness.”
Loki closed his eyes hard and turned his head to one side, with a look of unwillingness on his face. He grabbed the soil on the ground with one hand and squeezed it hard, but found nothing.
Thor looked directly at Loki and said: "I don't believe that Ragnarok is inevitable. I must lead Asgard out of this fate, so I need your help. I beg you, Loki..."
Loki pursed his lips, and his chest heaved violently, obviously in great pain.
He discovered that whenever he got the answers he wanted, or thought he wanted, what filled his heart was not joy, but more unwillingness.
Thor bowed his head to him, apologized to him, and even asked him to help him, but Loki could not feel any joy at all.
Because of this Thor has truly become the true heir to Asgard.
Loki never believed that the blind and arrogant Thor in the past was worthy of his status. He ridiculed, scorned and disdained him.
But when Thor really became worthy of his status, Loki felt deeply unwilling again. If Thor was good enough, then he would just spy on others in dark corners and only know how to conspire.
The clown of means.
Thor is not worthy of his status, which is Loki's best excuse for his ugly pranks. But when Thor is worthy of his status, Loki realizes that he is not as generous as Thor at all.
, he was not willing to sincerely repent at all.
He discovered that he was much more despicable than Thor. He tried all means and tried every method, but unfortunately he still lost. Regardless of blood relationship, family affection, ability, and tolerance, he lost completely.
Seeing that Loki did not answer, Thor said: "I swear to you, no matter the past, present, or future, I will always forgive you..."
And Thor's last words were like a sharp sword piercing Loki's heart.
"If Ragnarok is really unavoidable, at least I can guarantee that I will die in front of you, my brother."
After the storm dissipated, the dark clouds above Sakaar disappeared, and the atmosphere split by lightning shone with stronger sunlight. The intense light made Loki wonder if he would shed tears because of it.
But in the end, on the desolate and ruined land, the young prince's voice drifted away with the wind, drifting farther and farther away.
"...the new king."
