Very few people in this world would wholeheartedly plan for your sake.
If not parents, siblings, or lovers, then there was probably no one.
As a god king, Odin was clearly qualified. Under his rule, Asgard had become a paradise envied by everyone in the universe.
The name "Odin" alone had intimidated countless powerful enemies.
After displaying his strength, Odin had used diplomacy, political marriages, and other methods to either negotiate truces with or befriend other divine races.
He balanced strength and leniency.
Though he had also planted quite a few hidden dangers, calling him "qualified" was absolutely fair.
As a father, Odin was clearly unqualified.
Loki's rebelliousness and petty cleverness, along with Thor's recklessness and arrogance, made that obvious.
But saying he did not love them would truly be unfair.
If this were Earth, and a prince dared commit all sorts of rebellious and treasonous acts against the emperor, when had an emperor ever shown mercy after raising the butcher's blade?
The saying that royalty had no family affection was no joke.
Fathers and sons, husbands and wives, brothers—all of them needed to be guarded against.
In China, Loki would have been executed several times over by now.
As for Thor...
Odin had even placed Thor's growth above the land of Asgard itself. And this land was something Odin had fought for over millions of years.
Hayato had said it already. As for what Thor thought... it did not matter.
It had little to do with him.
He stayed in Asgard for another two days and gained a rough understanding of Hela's situation.
Hela's connection to Asgard was related to the "authority" she wielded.
As the Goddess of Death, Hela possessed the power to control the life and death of Asgard's gods. The Asgardian gods died differently from humans.
