When a big sister beats her little brother, bloodline dominance takes over

Odin continued, "Wisdom is important, but first one must have the ability to fight the enemy; only then can wisdom be put to use."

"Don't blame me, child, your path is not in Asgard."

"Fate has told me that only by leaving Asgard and exploring other paths can you break free from your constraints and become a greater being."

"My magical potential from the World Tree is limited; it can only take you this far."

"Besides—I've already given you a chance—"

"I know, I don't blame you, Father." Loki forced a smile. "Even though I borrowed your prestige and authority, and even held the power in my own hands, I couldn't stop Asgard's decline."

"Father, am I really so incompetent?"

"Of course not, my child, you are exceptionally talented."

Odin told Loki bluntly, "The momentum of a nation is like waves; its daily state is one of ups and downs."

"When a king accomplishes a great deed, it generates an upward or upward force, propelling the course of the nation to change."

Unfortunately, even Asgard has a natural tendency to decline, requiring the God-King to lead his people to make a decision.

Another big event: maintain the upward momentum.

"Loki, this is very, very difficult, because no successful experience can last forever."

"Back then, I was obsessed with war, believing that winning wars and achieving victory would sustain Asgard's upward momentum."

"However, I was wrong, and I paid a heavy price for it."

Odin did not mention that the price he paid was his eldest daughter Hela, who had fought alongside him to conquer the world, and the Pegasus Valkyrie Corps.

It was precisely because of this enormous upheaval that Odin became a mature god-king, rather than an invincible commander.

He deeply understood a principle: no matter how perfect a successful policy may have been at the beginning, it will gradually turn into a failed policy as time goes by and the country's situation changes.

Similarly, Asgard's needs for a monarch varied across different eras.

When Odin took over Asgard from his father, the country was beset by internal and external troubles. Frost Giants, Dark Elves, Dwarves, and even the Vanir were all pressing on Asgard.

Odin appears as a tyrant, an invincible commander, and the strongest warrior, defeating all his enemies one by one.

He conquered the Vanir, married their princess as his queen, and forged an unbreakable alliance between the two groups until they became one.

He brought the Dwarves under his rule, drove the Frost Giants back to their homeland, and banished the Dark Elves from the Nine Realms. After Asgard conquered the Nine Realms, he naturally became the invader.

It was at this time that the once-thriving Asgard was plunged into crisis once again, and the more battles it fought, the greater the crisis became; the more victories Asgard won, the more devastated it became.

Having learned his lesson, Odin matured and transformed into a benevolent All-Father.

As expected, the Asgardians settled down and resumed their prosperous state.

Odin's sealing of Hela was not voluntary, but while his eldest princess was a skilled warrior, she was not the kind of ruler Asgard needed in times of peace.

Even if Asgard were to descend into war again in the future, the monarch it would need would not be the cruel Hela.

Asgard has grown to an extremely high level, and its requirements for rulers have become increasingly demanding. Hela, with her simple and straightforward personality, is no longer capable of managing such a large empire.

Hela was also a source of harm to Asgard after its period of glory.

Having understood this principle, Odin devoted himself to cultivating Thor into a benevolent god-king. Loki, with his mischievous nature, was also a good candidate to assist his brother.

If the two brothers join forces, they can reduce the requirements for the quality of the God-King, and Asgard's future will be basically secure. Even in the face of Ragnarök, there is still hope.

Odin never took the brothers' Tenten bickering to heart.

He raised his two sons himself, and neither Thor nor Loki knew them as well as their Pops.

They might argue fiercely, but they're never hesitant to physically stab someone in the kidneys—but those are minor matters.

The Asgardians are not mortals; if they are occasionally stabbed in the kidneys, the pain will only last for a short while, and they will recover quickly.

What?

Did Loki use the Destroyer to beat Thor back then?

Didn't you notice that the Destroyer only beat Thor up and never used Laser on him?

A few punches and kicks are nothing; Thor, with his thick skin, won't get hurt.

If he were to actually kill, do you think Odin was pretending to be asleep, was just for show?

Of course, the brothers' bickering is quite annoying, but the key is that Odin also has to consider the future; both brothers will get married and have children.

The relationship between the third generation of gods may not be so close, and conflicts may arise.

Ah, if Loki were the third princess, how perfect that would be!

Odin is so incompetent; after all these years, he still hasn't figured out gender-swap magic.

He deserved to die without peace.

Odin continued, "The prophecies of fate always bring despair; after my death, Ragnarök will soon arrive."

"And the crisis is not just Ragnarok."

"In my youth, I waged war across the Nine Realms, slaughtering Sifang in every direction of the Universe, creating countless bloodshed, before finally driving away all external enemies and conquering all rivals within the Nine Realms."

"After I leave, enemies from both within and outside the Nine Realms will emerge, and you will face great trouble."

"Only if you two brothers unite closely can you face Ragnarök together and have a chance to break the curse of fate."

Thor raised his fist and solemnly swore, "Rest assured, Father, I will protect my brother, protect Asgard, and protect our people!"

All-Father Odin, and Loki sighed together. Loki licked his lips and said, "Father, no, Father, the more you speak, the more flustered I feel. Please explain yourself clearly."

"Otherwise, my foolish brother would never understand."

Odin nodded. "You're right, Thor is incredibly stupid!"

Thor:

Odin sighed again, "The Asgardians have another Gods, a true god! The Death Goddess — Hela!"

Thor and Loki exchanged a glance, both filled with doubt. Loki, in particular, knew the gods of Asgard intimately and had never heard of this Goddess before.

He couldn't help but ask, "The Death Goddess, what's so special about her?"

Odin asked with slight disappointment, "Loki, my child, you don't know either?"

"I originally thought you should know, after all, you're much smarter than your brother."

Thor:

Loki: "Why should Loki know? What should he know?"

Thor was getting anxious. "How come it seems like the whole world knows except me?"

"Alas!" Odin sighed again, "Hela, Asgardians, full Hela Odinson. Do you understand now?"

Loki was shocked. "What?"

Thor Odinson was even more shocked. "What? I actually have an aunt?"

Odin flew into a rage, raising his staff and striking Thor on the head. "Fool! You fool! Odinson is your family name! If I had a sister, her surname would be Borson!!"

Thor covered his head and tried to dodge, but he couldn't avoid it no matter how he ran; the ordinary cane would always land on his head.

And even though it was just a regular wooden stick, it hurt Thor so much when he was hit, and it even caused big bruises.

Thor, enraged, cursed inwardly, "You old bastard, see my fist as big as a clay pot? See the Sledgehammer in my hand?"

If I weren't weaker than you, I would have beaten you to death, you know that?

This guy really can't hide his feelings; everything he thinks is written all over his face.

Odin, the old fox, saw right through Thor. He looked at his son speechlessly, his mind filled with the thought: This child is no good.

But then I thought: Oh well, I'm going to die anyway, and I won't have the chance to create a new account, so let it be.

Odin, having lost all interest in mysticism, stated directly. "Hela is my Odin daughter, your sister, the eldest princess of Asgard, and formerly the first in line to the throne."

Thor: "Huh? I'm not the boss?"

Odin ignored him and continued, "When I was conquering the Nine Realms, Hela stood by my side, wielding Mjolnir, fighting alongside me and slaying countless enemies."

Thor held up his beloved hammer, speechless. He wasn't disgusted, but rather felt an indescribable sense of bewilderment.

That feeling is no less than a man discovering that his beloved wife is actually someone else's discarded second-hand goods.

Odin continued, "After the unification of the Nine Realms, Asgard was exhausted from years of war and could no longer continue the conflict. It desperately needed to recuperate."

But Hela disagreed.

"She was born in war, grew up in war, and has become a complete war monster; she cannot accept peace without war."

"For the future of Asgard, I had to retrieve Mjolnir and then seal her away. That's how the Nine Realms came to be, and how you all came to be."

Loki's hands and feet trembled as he listened, and he pointed at Odin, asking, "Father, don't tell me you sealed Hela to Earth, and that you yourself are the key to that seal—"

Odin gave a "you guessed right" gesture and continued, "Hela is different from you. She and Asgard are two sides of the same coin. As long as Asgard exists, she can be resurrected immediately after being killed, and become even stronger."

"Therefore, I could only seal her on Earth, and only by using myself as the key to the seal could I maintain a stable seal for so many years."

Loki's breath caught in his throat. "So, you're saying that if you die, Hela, will appear here?"

Odin nodded. "Yes, thank you for your hard work."

"Children, please believe that I love you----"

As he spoke, Odin began to glow, then transformed into light and vanished completely from the Universe.

"Father!"

Thor then realized what was happening, rushed forward but couldn't grab anything, and could only collapse onto the rock and wail.

Loki was also crying. He thought he wouldn't cry for Odin, but he couldn't control his tears at all, and they flowed like a flood.

He was surprised to find that not only were there tears, but also the pain in his heart was no less than when he first heard of his mother's murder.

The two brothers cried for a while before Loki suddenly noticed a drastic change in the magical fluctuations in the air. Before he could do anything, a Spiral appeared out of thin air.

A beautiful woman emerged from the Spiral; it was Hela.

Hela's noble royal bloodline endowed her with a beautiful appearance from birth. Her face was exquisite, her features were striking and bright, and her temperament was noble and aloof. Her tight-fitting leather clothes outlined her beautiful curves, exuding feminine charm.

However, Hela's eyes were filled with resentment and malice, and her sinister temperament was so strong that she appeared so tyrannical and cruel.

Loki and she locked eyes; this was a wicked woman!

Even worse than that god of conspiracy!

"Odin... is he dead?"

The wicked woman's first words were a devastating blow, instantly enraging the weeping Thor: "Your father is also your father!"

With that, Thor swung Mjolnir and smashed it down on Hela.

But the invincible Mjolnir was blocked by Hela, and it was her fair and slender hand that caught it.

Hela glanced at Mjolnir, a smirk playing on her lips, and sneered, "So it's Mjolnir. It's been a long time, a thousand or two thousand years?"

"Never mind, it doesn't matter."

"To me now, you're nothing but a useless piece of trash."

Hela's fingers began to tighten, Odinforce within her, carrying endless malice, poured into Mjolnir, clashing with the Odinforce that belonged to Odin within it.

Hela, Mjolnir's first master, had a thorough understanding of Mjolnir. Coupled with her own powerful Odinforce, she skillfully guided the Odinforce within the hammer, which had become like water without a source, and crushed the seemingly indestructible Mjolnir in just a few seconds.

At this time Thor was not yet fully complete. He had the name of the God of Thor but did not control the power of Inazuma; he could only be considered the God of Hammers.

The destruction of Mjolnir was an even greater blow to Thor than the death of Odin.

In just a moment, Thor's spirit and energy completely collapsed.

Having lost the warriors standing at the front, Loki, a mage and Hela, dared not fight Hela and pulled his brother back.

Even more terrifying, Hela used hair gel to style her hair, turning it into Antler Helmet.

As everyone knows, hair gel hands are the strongest villain buff in Myriad Worlds. Hela not only turns her hair into a helmet, but also wears a tight-fitting female battle armor, and uses the Odinforce to create two longswords in her hands.

Having completed her mythical armor, Hela charged towards the Thor brothers with overwhelming force.

Loki sensed Hela's aura—a terrifying, blood-soaked presence that instantly crushed his Loki spirit.

He had lost all courage to fight. He grabbed Thor, creating a multitude of afterimages, and shouted, "Heimdall! Take us back to Asgard!"
