The real God King Odin successfully returned to Asgard, and the subsequent turmoil of the Dark Elf Rebellion also subsided.
Loki, who had enjoyed the throne of the God King for a while, was thrown into the dungeon again. This time, even the God Queen Frigga, who had always doted on her children, did not open her mouth to intercede for him.
However, this unexpected trip to the earth seems to have caused some changes in Odin's heart, becoming much softer than before.
Loki's crime of expelling the God-King and seizing the throne was enough to be sentenced to death by Odin, but Odin only ordered him to be thrown back into the dungeon to wait for retribution.
On the other hand, Loki's thoughts also underwent subtle changes.
In the past, Loki had always been resentful of Odin's favoritism and regarded ascending to the throne as his greatest wish. For this reason, he even did not hesitate to join Thanos and lead the Chitauri to invade the earth as his vanguard.
But when he actually sat in that position, Loki realized that being the God King was not easy at all.
Loki is born with a hedonistic personality, and it is more in line with his expectations to be a happy king in peacetime.
But now there are undercurrents surging inside and outside the Nine Realms. Not to mention Thanos' coveting of the Earth and the Infinity Stones is something Loki has personally experienced.
After serving under Thanos for a short period of time, Loki gained a deeper understanding of the talented and strategic Overlord of the Universe. Thanos is definitely a superpower on the same level as Odin.
Compared with Thor, the prince of Asgard, who has a straightforward temper and is quick to act rather than think, Loki, who is full of evil thoughts, thinks more.
The last time Thanos sent the Chitauri to invade Earth was just a test, designed to find out the attitude of Odin, the guardian of the nine realms.
During the Battle of New York, Odin did not take action himself, but sent his son Thor to assist the Avengers.
The strength of Thor, the god of thunder, can only be looked up to by most mortals, but in the eyes of a strong man like Thanos, the young and energetic prince of Asgard is not difficult to deal with.
The overlord of the universe who is at the same level as his adoptive father covets the Nine Realms, and Loki is not confident that he can secure the throne in such a precarious environment.
Moreover, a period of life as a god king also allowed Loki to calmly see himself clearly after settling his old grudges - he was actually not suitable for this position.
With both Loki and Odin adopting a calm attitude, Asgard has truly regained its calm, but the problems faced by Odin have not yet been completely resolved.
Like his daughter Hela, Odin's power also comes from Asgard. During the period of being exiled from the earth, he lost connection with the source of his power even though he was already weak, which further accelerated Odin's power.
Decline speed.
If you want Odin to recover as soon as possible, you must let him enter Odin's Sleep for a period of peace of mind.
Before Odin falls into sleep, Asgard's external security and internal governance issues must be resolved.
The issue of governing power is relatively easy. Even if Odin is not around, Asgard still has the skilled Queen Frigga to assist the Crown Prince Thor who supervises the country. However, external security issues are more serious.
Thanos seems to have seen Odin's weakness, and has become more aggressive than before. Odin does not believe that the immature Thor can defeat Thanos.
On the other hand, Hela, the god of death, who was sealed by Odin in the Nordic realm of Midgard, also needs to be protected.
Hela is Odin's first child. Long before Thor was born, she followed Odin, who was still in the stage of conqueror, to conquer the nine realms. Her strength is very terrifying.
After Thor was born, Odin realized that the territory he had conquered was vast enough, and gradually entered the mode of a wise monarch, ruling the nine realms in a relatively peaceful manner.
The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked.
Odin knew very well about his daughter Hela. Hela, who was named the God of Death, could follow him across the universe, but she was too murderous and was not a wise king who could govern the country well.
So Odin led his most powerful elite, the Valkyrie, to capture Hela.
As a result, Odin succeeded, but a large number of elite Valkyries also perished as a result. This internal fighting caused Asgard to suffer huge losses.
During the period when Odin is sleeping, the strength of Hela's seal will inevitably decrease, and the God King himself is not sure whether Hela will take the opportunity to escape.
What comforted Odin was that he received a promise from the Ancient One that the Supreme Mage would help protect the Nine Realms during his sleep and would assist Asgard when necessary.
Temporarily entrusting the future of Asgard to Frigga and Thor, the exhausted Odin finally lay down in the hibernation chamber.
"Frigga."
Before falling into a deep sleep, Odin gathered his energy and asked his wife who was standing by: "What do you think of Ancient One's new apprentice?"
Although Frigga was a little surprised that Odin asked this question at this time, she still thought about it carefully and gave her own evaluation objectively.
"In terms of personal strength alone, he is not impressive, but his ability to infiltrate and plan is very good. This time he was able to expose Loki's true face with minimal influence. Lu Xiao, who arranged the operation behind the scenes, takes at least half of the credit.
.”
"Sure enough, you have a high opinion of him."
Odin's one eye gradually closed: "Fujin and Wu Ni could not see any possibility in him, as if his past and future were blank."
Odin's right eye was lost in the battle with the Frost Giants thousands of years ago. Since then, Odin has tamed two crows with strange abilities as his eyes and ears. These two crows are called Fujin and Muni.
.
Fujin and Wu Ni can travel freely among the nine realms and secretly monitor targets of special concern to Odin without being noticed.
These two crows also have weak future vision and can see the future direction of the target to a limited extent.
But just like Gu Yi couldn't use the time stone to see through Lu Xiao's origin, Odin also struggled with him.
As the only existence in the world, there is only one Lu Xiao in the countless parallel worlds of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This prevents Ancient Yi and Odin from using the development of parallel worlds as a reference to see through Lu Xiao's future.
Odin's breath gradually became evener, and he left his last words before falling asleep.
"Let Thor maintain a good relationship with him as much as possible. I have an indescribable intuition that that young human named Lu Xiao may affect the future of the world."
…
Under the auspices of Queen Frigga, the impact of Odin's sleep was minimized, and Thor was finally able to find some time to fulfill the promise he made to Lu Xiao.
Arriving in Asgard again, Lu Xiao could not stay here long. Heimdall opened the Rainbow Bridge and sent him and Thor into the depths of the universe, arriving at a "planet" full of futuristic technology, the hometown of the dwarves.
Nidaville.
"this……"
Lu Xiao looked at the shocking scene in front of her in amazement.
The entire planet Nidaville has lost its original appearance at all, and the dwarves have greatly transformed their hometown.
Lu Xiao graduated with a liberal arts degree and did not have a deep understanding of scientific knowledge. He was only amazed by the strange sight of Nidaville.
But Aletheia, who had always stayed quietly in the bracelet, was different. She suddenly exclaimed in Lu Xiao's mind abnormally.
