Ragnarok Had Long Since Begun

For the next few days, things were relatively calm around the world.

However, more and more portals are appearing in various parts of London. For example, a flock of birds flies in the sky, then disappears and suddenly emerges from the ground somewhere.

For example, hundreds of thousands of yuan in cash suddenly disappeared from a bank employee's desk, and nothing could be seen on the surveillance footage; it just vanished inexplicably.

A primary school student was playing basketball. After shooting, the ball disappeared in mid-air and hit the Queen on the back of the head while she was eating lunch. The Queen almost drowned in her mushroom soup.

These are all very bizarre, but they are not considered major events, as they do not have a significant impact on society. The most outrageous incident was that a section of a high-speed subway car suddenly disappeared and then reappeared crashing into the MI6 office.

Already overwhelmed by these bizarre phenomena appearing everywhere, MI6 mobilized almost its entire staff to search for what had happened. After all, their boss had almost been hit by a subway while sitting in his office.

A series of minor accidents occurred, resulting in many absurd and hilarious stories. Various videos and reports appeared everywhere on television and the internet, and many people even traveled long distances to London to experience the feeling of instant teleportation.

Despite the government's ban, many people are still doing it with great enthusiasm.

"These people really haven't experienced a real beating. Putting aside everything else, if you were suddenly thrown into mid-air, wouldn't you be dead for sure?" Xia Yu shook his head and turned off the TV.

"There are always some people who aren't afraid of death, but to be honest, if I didn't know the truth, I'd also like to experience it myself, like suddenly appearing in a beautiful woman's bathroom. Xia, do you know what I'm saying?"

Tony quipped casually, saying that he knew all about Xia Yu's messy situation of losing control while absorbing the energy of the Tesseract, and of course, the photos Xia Yu took in Sovereign were also treasured by Tony on his private server.

Tony was typing furiously on the keyboard. Xia Yu had announced to the Avengers what they might encounter next, making it even more serious than what was shown in the movies. Xia Yu wasn't afraid of spoilers at all, since Odin would take the blame anyway.

Tony hacked into television stations across Europe, broadcasting on a loop the impending massive crisis in London, particularly Greenwich District, urging residents to evacuate immediately.

Yes, they hacked into the television station. Peggy submitted this request to the United Kingdom government in the name of the Avengers, but it was rejected by the authorities.

Left with no other choice, they resorted to this drastic measure, since there was no evidence that Tony and his men were responsible.

On the other hand, with Nick's help, Dr. Selvig quickly organized a research team in the area. In Jane's absence, Selvig called back another of his students.

Jane Foster's best friend, Daisy, and her intern Ian Boothby.

This hastily assembled group set up a camp near the abandoned factory.

Dr. Selvig was calculating the spatial link points of the Nine-Star Alignment, and also using a gravitational magnetic field interference device to reverse some random teleportations, or even control them, when the Nine-Star Alignment occurred.

Xia Yu and others' direct exposure on television aroused the dissatisfaction of the local government and the United Nations, but Xia Yu and Tony adopted an indifferent attitude, thinking that since there was no evidence, they would deny it to the death.

Selvig's time was running out, and eventually Tony and Banner were also pulled to the temporary research center to help out, and the Avengers simply set up camp there as well.

A few days ago, Asgard...

Today, some new criminals arrived at the Golden Palace's dungeon. They were probably restless criminals from other planets, with all sorts of strange appearances. Loki was also imprisoned in the dungeon, stood up and glanced at these newcomers.

"Is this the new friend my great father sent me to keep me company?" Loki muttered discontentedly.

One wall of the Asgard dungeon is enchanted, while the other three walls are golden Energy Shields made of magical symbols, which not only have the effect of transparent glass but also possess immense destructive power.

Ordinary criminals, even powerful gods like Loki, wouldn't dare to touch these walls lightly; the consequences of contact would either be being blasted away or instantly burned by the energy.

Loki was peering through the transparent Energy Shield at the newly arrived group of criminals, one of his pastimes while in prison.

Why don't you take a look at the book I had sent you?

Frigga's voice rang out behind Loki, and she projected a phantom into Loki's cell.

"Should I just study hard, like a good boy, and spend the rest of my long life reading and learning?" Loki wasn't surprised at all; in fact, Frigga often came to see him.

They gave him a solitary cell and furnished it with the finest furniture. The food they brought Loki was the same food they ate themselves.

"I've tried my best to make you more comfortable, child," Frigga said with a loving expression.

"Really? What about Odin and Thor? Are they also worried about me day and night, making them very anxious?" Loki said in a strange tone, behaving like a spoiled child, actually yearning for attention and affection.

"You know very well, child, that you brought this upon yourself." Frigga desperately wanted Loki to realize his mistakes.

But Loki, that brat, disappointed her once again; the two started arguing after only a few words.

Even when Odin was mentioned, Loki yelled at Frigga, "He's not my father!!"

"And what about me? Child, am I still your mother?" Frigga's voice trembled.

"No." Loki was a little afraid to look Frigga in the eye.

Frigga smiled. Although Loki wasn't her biological son, she had raised him herself, so how could she not understand him?

"You never see yourself clearly, child," Frigga said gently.

Loki hesitated for a moment, then reached out to grasp his mother's hands, but Frigga was just an illusion; as soon as Loki placed his hand on hers, Frigga began to disappear.

At that moment, in Odin's small study, Frigga slowly opened her eyes.

"If I could, I really want to go see him in person and hug him."

Frigga's eyes were filled with tears.

"It's too late. Things will change if you go now. While you still have time, go see Thor." Odin stroked Frigga's hair, gently sliding it from her head to her shoulder.

He didn't know how many years it had been since he had done such a thing, and it wasn't until the moment of impending separation that he regretted not spending more time with his beautiful and kind wife.

Frigga took Odin's hand and gently rubbed it against her cheek.

"Protect our son at all costs, my king. I'm taking my leave now."

Frigga suppressed her reluctance and resolutely turned to leave. At this moment, she and her husband already knew that Ragnarok had come long ago.

The Ragnarok, which began with Odin, has led to Asgard's power gradually diminishing over the years is a testament to this.

Frigga turned and left, and behind her, Odin's single eye shed its first tear in thousands of years.

The tears of the All-Father.
