"Marvel's Magnetic Field Rotation"

Asgard, the Asgard.

Odin, the All-Father, sits on his throne, clad in golden armor, his right hand resting on his invincible golden spear Gungnir. His right eye, lost in the battle against the Frost Giant by Laufey, is covered by a golden eyepatch, while his remaining left eye reveals an unwavering will and boundless wisdom.

However, this king, who once roamed the Nine Realms and single-handedly defeated the Celestial Group, inevitably showed signs of fatigue. His hair and beard had turned white, and he looked at his rebellious son beneath the throne with dissatisfaction.

Just now, his eldest son, Thor, and his companions bypassed Heimdall's surveillance and sneaked into the realm of the Frost Giant, attempting to defeat them like Heimdall had, and to once again restore Asgard's formidable reputation with their glorious achievements.

Even Odin, who inherited his father Bolder's divine strength, wore armor blessed by the gods, and wielded a divine weapon forged by the Asgard king, had to sacrifice an eye to defeat the Frost Giant who invaded Midgard and take their treasure, the Casket of Ancient Winters, from the giant king to fill his own treasury as spoils of war.

In contrast, Thor, not only did not inherit his divine power, but he could not even control his own power and needed Mjolnir to guide him to unleash it. He only had this one weapon, and his only companions were the Warriors Three, Sif, and his brother Loki. Moreover, they were deep in enemy territory, which was undoubtedly a suicide mission. Putting himself and his companions in danger for the sake of so-called honor, he was undoubtedly unqualified as an heir.

For this reason, Odin donned his armor once again after many years, rode his eight-legged steed Sleipnir, and crossed the Bifrost to Jotunheim, stopping Thor and his companions from fighting the Frost Giant. However, the long-standing peace between Asgard and the Frost Giant had been broken, and a great war was inevitable.

As time goes by, the Asgard will become stronger and stronger. An elderly Thor could tear Thanos apart with his bare hands. However, their bodies will not keep getting stronger. After reaching their peak, they will inevitably decline until their lifespan is exhausted and their bodies completely collapse.

In the later stages of his life, the king of Asgard had to take time to sleep and adjust his body to better withstand the ever-increasing power within him. Odin's slumber was imminent, and war was something he had tried his best to avoid. This attack hastened his descent into slumber, causing many of Odin's plans to be left unimplemented.

He originally had a very good successor, who possessed great strength and a firm will, was brave and skilled in battle, and made great achievements during the expansion of Asgard's territory. However, she lacked the strategic vision and compassion for the people that a king should have. All she saw was battle and death. If she were to inherit the throne of Asgard, the kingdom would be completely destroyed in the war.

Asgard was born in war, and it cannot be destroyed in war.

Odin then dispatched the Valkyrie Corps and personally sealed it away in Helheim, the realm of the dead.

However, as a long-lived species, the process of aging and death takes thousands of years for the Asgard, which is enough time for Odin to raise a new successor.

After bringing Thor and his companions back to Asgard, Thor not only failed to learn his lesson, but also questioned Odin's behavior, believing that he had lost his courage and become cowardly, completely disregarding the fact that his comrades were seriously injured because of his recklessness.

Odin was annoyed by Thor's immature remarks. He gently lifted Gungnir and struck the ground with it. The movement was small, but the sound was earth-shattering. The voice, representing the authority of the king of the gods, echoed through the palace like a great bell. Thor, who was defending himself, swallowed all his complaints. His soul trembled in the resonance between Odinforce and Asgard, and he couldn't muster any thoughts at all.

But since he was being groomed as an heir, Thor possessed the divine power inherited from the Asgard royal family. He had nothing but a blank mind. However, the adopted Loki could not withstand the pressure and lay prostrate on the ground, trembling all over!

"You are vain! Greedy! Cruel!"

Pointing at Thor, Odin was very dissatisfied with his behavior. This newly groomed heir had followed in the footsteps of his eldest daughter. But Odin's days were numbered, and he could no longer create another successor. He could only try to correct Thor's behavior.

Odin struck the ground again with Gungnir and said, "I, Odin, King of Asgard, in the name of my father Bor and all my ancestors, strip you of your power and honor, strip you of your title!"

Endless thunderbolts erupted from the tip of Gungnir's spear, and all of Asgard echoed the decree of the King of the Gods.

"No...!"

Thor looked at his father with a hint of fear, but Odin's eyes were filled with rage, as if Thor should have been drowned in the river when he was born.

Odinforce opened a Bifrost directly behind Thor, and the immense suction pulled him in step by step, but Thor's power allowed him to barely resist that force, and he wanted to defend himself.

"I will banish you to Midgard to learn as an ordinary man until you learn compassion and sacrifice. Only then will you reclaim your true name and regain your divine power."

As the words ended, Mjolnir broke free of Thor and returned to Odin's grasp. The All-King swung it like a scepter, and a bolt of lightning struck Thor, stripping away his armor layer by layer, along with his power and memories.

Having lost his powers, Thor was instantly swallowed by the Bifrost and transported to Earth.

Odin then continued to issue decrees in the name of the All-Father, but this time to Mjolnir: "Whoever possesses a kind and righteous heart can wield this hammer and gain the power of Thor."

After being bound by divine pronouncements, Mjolnir was thrown out by Odin and entered the Bifrost to follow its master.

In Asgard, the rise of any king inevitably involves sacrifice, much like the legend of the All-Father in Midgard All-Father, who lost his right eye forever in order to taste the waters of the Well of Wisdom.

To obtain the runes that symbolize knowledge, Odin hung from a tree swaying in the wind for nine nights, wounded by spears; he was offered as a sacrifice to Odin, a self-sacrifice, on the tree where no one knew him! There was no bread to eat, no water to quench his thirst.

Before the foreseeable Ragnarok, Thor must grow to a point where he can protect the people of Asgard, but what sacrifices will be required for him to reach that point?

Was it the life of Saul's mother, the goddess Frigga?

Was it the life of his father, Odin, the king of the gods?

It was the long hair and the sharp right eye?

Or is it still part of Asgard?

Or perhaps the lives of half the inhabitants of Asgard?
