"So it was all because of me..."
Hearing this, Thor felt as if he'd been struck by lightning.
Yes, with Fang Mo's reminder, as he recalled everything again, many things that he couldn't understand before now made sense.
For instance, why his father was so enraged after he trespassed into Jotunheim, even stripping him of his divine power. Perhaps it wasn't just the grievances and war between the Frost Giants and Asgard, but also because Loki might discover his true origins.
Honestly, Thor couldn't imagine the psychological impact Loki would suffer after learning all of this.
No wonder the other party had manipulated the Destroyer Armor to give him a good smack.
"No, I have to go back and talk to him..."
Thinking this, Thor immediately became anxious. He didn't even wait for the Asgardian Warriors, simply tilting his head back and shouting, "Heimdall! Let me return!"
However, after waiting for a long time, there was no movement in the sky.
"Heimdall?"
Thor was stunned by this and frowned in confusion. "Why isn't there any response?"
"Let's wait a bit longer," Fang Mo said, trying to calm him down. He knew the reason for the current situation. Loki had likely begun executing his plan, which was to trick Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants, into invading Asgard, then kill him by surprise, and subsequently destroy Jotunheim.
To ensure his plan went smoothly, Loki would definitely have to deal with Heimdall, the guardian.
He estimated that Heimdall was probably frozen solid by the power of the Ancient Winter Coffin by now, but Heimdall was quite strong, so he'd likely break free soon.
While the two were waiting, a jeep drove over from a distance.
On board were the Asgardian Warriors and Jane Foster.
Seeing this, Thor immediately went to greet them and explained the urgent situation. Of course, after his experience in the human world, he had become a bit more cautious and didn't tell the Asgardians that Loki was a Frost Giant. He only said that Loki planned to destroy Jotunheim and that he had to go back to stop him.
Meanwhile, back in Asgard, Heimdall had heard Thor's call. With a crack, he broke free from the solid ice and dispatched the Frost Giants guarding him with two swift strikes.
After completing this, Heimdall, struggling with his frostbitten body, entered the Bifrost chamber and thrust his sword into the control mechanism.
The Bifrost activated, and Thor immediately noticed the change in the clouds above.
So, he quickly bid farewell to Jane Foster. Soon, a colorful beam of light descended from the sky. Seeing this, Fang Mo also stepped forward, and the group instantly vanished from their spot.
Accompanied by a sensation of weightlessness, Fang Mo, Thor, and the others appeared inside the Bifrost chamber.
"Take him to get treated."
As soon as they teleported back, Thor noticed Heimdall sitting on the ground. It was clear he was injured, so he quickly instructed his friends. As for himself, he prepared to fly directly to the throne room.
"Wait, Thor, why did he come along?"
Just then, Fandral suddenly spoke up, pointing at Fang Mo.
"Hm?"
Thor was taken aback. He had left in such a hurry that he hadn't noticed Fang Mo actually following him. However, the situation was urgent, and he didn't have time to think about it. He could only say, "Fang Mo is my friend. I'm going with him to find Loki!"
With that, he wasted no more time and quickly flew towards the throne room.
Fang Mo said nothing and followed suit.
Meanwhile, inside the Asgardian palace, the guards were already engaged in battle with the Frost Giants.
Laufey, the King of the Frost Giants, had arrived in Odin's chambers and was gleefully preparing to kill him when a laser beam suddenly struck, severely injuring him and sending him crashing to the ground.
It was only at this moment that Laufey finally understood Loki's scheme.
It turned out Loki had no intention of cooperating with him at all; everything he had said before was just to trick him into leaving Jotunheim.
Indeed, although Frost Giants were powerful, they were also very susceptible to external influences. During the time they possessed the Ancient Winter Coffin in Jotunheim, the Frost Giants could exert up to five hundred percent of their strength. However, now, they could only exert one hundred percent.
But it was important to remember that this was the God-King's chamber in Asgard, a place that could be said to be perpetually spring-like.
Here, Laufey couldn't even exert ten percent of his strength. He could only watch helplessly as his own son, Loki, without mercy, raised Gungnir and blasted him into dust.
"Loki!"
Queen Frigga, standing nearby, was unaware that this was all Loki's plan. Seeing this, she struggled to get up from the ground and then hugged her son tightly, exclaiming emotionally, "You saved your father!"
"Mother, they will pay for this."
Loki immediately said upon seeing her.
However, before Frigga could say anything, footsteps were heard from the doorway. Loki instinctively looked up and saw Thor and Fang Mo standing there, freezing instantly.
"Thor!"
Frigga turned and saw him, her face lighting up with joy. She rushed forward and gave him another big hug. "I knew you would come back!"
"I missed you dearly, Mother,"
Thor smiled at Frigga, but then quickly turned his gaze to Loki, his tone becoming serious. "But now, I'd rather have a good talk with my brother..."
Hearing this, Loki clearly began to panic.
However, his mind was so consumed with his plan being exposed that he didn't notice the concern and sincerity on Thor's face.
Yes, in the original story, Thor didn't know why Loki had turned evil. He only knew that Loki had sent the Destroyer to kill him, so he returned to Asgard filled with rage. Upon his return, he directly confronted Loki, and the escalating conflict ultimately led to the destruction of the entire Bifrost.
But things were different now. After learning the truth of everything, Thor's mindset had changed.
But the problem was, Loki didn't know that!
He was truly terrified, on the verge of death. He originally thought that if he froze Heimdall and the others, he wouldn't be able to return. But now, not only had Thor regained his divine power, but Fang Mo was also standing beside him.
Loki felt like he was going to lose his life this time.
He had personally witnessed how Fang Mo had utterly dominated the Destroyer Armor.
That thing was made of Uru, for crying out loud, yet this guy had split it open like slicing a watermelon. Loki didn't think he was tougher than Uru.
"Loki, I..."
Thor took a step forward, seemingly wanting to say something to Loki.
However, to everyone's surprise, Loki attacked first. He suddenly aimed Gungnir at Thor.
The weapon used by the God-King was indeed extraordinary. Thor, caught completely off guard, was instantly sent flying by the blow, smashing through the outer wall of the chamber and falling out.
"Loki! Thor!"
Queen Mother Frigga was also stunned by this scene and quickly called out.
"Mother, I apologize, I must punish the Frost Giants." Loki looked up and said to Frigga. At the same time, he waved his hand, and the Ancient Winter Coffin suddenly appeared in his grasp. A bone-chilling cold instantly surged towards Fang Mo. It seemed he knew he wasn't Fang Mo's match and figured freezing him would buy some time.
However, to Loki's surprise, Fang Mo's figure instantly turned into a purple light and disappeared. The cold air hit the chamber wall, covering it with a thick layer of ice.
"What?"
Loki was taken aback by this. But the next second, he felt a chill on his neck as the massive purple blade was placed across it.
"!"
Feeling the cold, sharp edge on his neck, Loki, terrified, quickly raised his hands. With a clang, the Ancient Winter Coffin and Gungnir both fell to the ground.
Seeing this, Fang Mo instinctively wanted to open his mouth and complain.
But before he could even utter a word, a electronic prompt suddenly sounded in his mind.
