Chapter Summaries

Loki and the chat group mapped out how he could use a war with Jotunheim to secure his throne, settle Odin’s disappearance, and deal with political rivals. The plan still lacked a way to win Thor’s wholehearted approval, and Aizen suggested making the war a spectacle with witnesses.

• Ying Zinian said the plan still needed to make Thor accept Loki and win over Thor’s supporters, and Aizen replied that the war needed an audience.
