Chapter 513
Thor was slightly taken aback when he saw Jane.
Jane's assistant, the beautiful Daisy with her eyes, spoke with a slightly unfocused gaze.
"Uh... I'm sorry."
Then Jane stood up, looking slightly embarrassed, and said.
"Haha, have you guys finished chatting?"
Luo Mio smiled gently at the two women.
"Well, we've talked enough."
After saying that, Luo Mio turned and left.
Watching Luo Mio's retreating figure, Thor wanted to go forward and ask her something, but he stopped when he saw Jane.
Jane was somewhat surprised when she saw Thor's expression.
"So, what did you guys talk about? You seem to have recovered quite a bit."
"Uh... we didn't talk about much."
Looking at Jane's beautiful face, Thor also fell silent.
After a while, Thor spoke up.
"Would you like to come grab a drink with me?"
Jane was also a little at a loss when faced with Thor's invitation.
Daisy, standing beside him, had a mischievous grin on her face and then said with a grin.
"Ah, Erik seemed to have something to discuss with me, so I'll take my leave now."
Daisy also left this place, her wrist exposed.
Jane looked at her best friend and assistant with a wry smile, then turned to Thor.
"... Um."
Chapter Twenty-Four: The Passage Connecting Midgard
"... What are they doing?"
Luo Mio watched Thor and Jane's departing figures, then looked at Daisy beside her with a puzzled expression.
Daisy smiled slightly like an aunt's smile, and then spoke.
"Hmm, you can think of it as a date."
Upon hearing this, Luo Mio raised an eyebrow slightly.
Is that so?
After glancing at Thor and Jane's departing figures, Luo Mio turned around and returned to the training room that Coulson had prepared for him.
Watching Luo Mio's departing figure, Daisy was also puzzled, stroking her chin in thought, and then muttering to herself.
"... Why does little Claudia's figure seem more and more familiar?"
But Daisy couldn't figure it out no matter how much she thought about it. With no other option, she had to give up and turn around and leave.
As Luo Mio entered the training room, just as she was about to begin her training, the voice of 'Durandal'... Xiao You entered Luo Mio's mind.
'That hammer is so powerful, and it even allows you to wield the power of Thor, so why didn't you take it for yourself?'
Luo Mio responded calmly after hearing this.
Why should I take it for myself?
Xiao You slowly said, "Based on the character and behavior of people in my era, anyone capable of wielding a divine artifact comparable to, or even surpassing, 'me' or the 'Divine Keys' would immediately try to possess it."
'...'
Luo Mio understood what Xiao You meant by 'that era'.
The era in which Xiao You was forged... the era before his teacher Fu Hua became a Fusion Warrior.
In that era filled with madness, despair, repression, and hatred, there was nothing that people of that time were incapable of doing.
Only a very few people were able to continuously radiate the brilliance of humanity in that era...
Luo Mio replied.
'Unnecessary.'
For others, wielding the unparalleled power of Thor might lead them to become obsessed with the wealth, power, and beautiful women that come with it.
' Mjolnir may indeed be a powerful artifact, but for me, possessing it or not is irrelevant.'
Xiao You nodded in agreement upon hearing Luo Mio's answer.
'Too...'
——
While Luo Mio and Xiao You were talking, on the other side, in Jotunheim within the Nine Realms...
A dazzling white beam of light descended from the sky.
Loki's figure slowly emerged from it.
Looking at the icy, desolate landscape before him, the place where he was born, Loki walked straight toward the palace of the Frost Giant.
Even after countless years, traces of the battle with the Asgard army can still be seen above the palace.
After Loki went inside.
Laufey, the King of Frost Giants, sitting on his throne, spoke coldly and hoarsely upon seeing Loki.
"Kill him."
Upon hearing the king's command, the remaining Frost Giant guarding Loki also walked towards him.
Seeing this, Loki also spoke up.
"I've done so much for you, and the first thing you do for me is to kill me?"
Upon hearing Loki's words, Laufey responded in a hoarse and indifferent tone.
"You're the one who told us to go into Asgard?"
"Uh-huh."
"So, what are you trying to do by telling us how to get into Asgard and now coming to our Jotunheim?"
Loki smiled slightly.
"We've come to discuss some things."
——
After telling Laufey all his plans, Loki looked at Laufey.
Laufey said directly.
"What benefits do we Frost Giant get?"
"..."
At that moment, Loki suddenly thought of Midgard... the 'human' girl he had encountered on Earth.
Loki looked at the King of Frost Giants... his own father, and a slight smile suddenly appeared on his lips, a smile that seemed to be both righteous and wicked.
"Then... what about the passage leading to Midgard?"
Laufey's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing Loki's words.
It should be noted that he once led his Frost Giant to Midgard and used their artifact, the "Winter Box," in an attempt to turn Midgard back into the Ice Age.
However, they were blocked by Odin and the Asgard army, and were driven back to Jotunheim, where their clan's artifact, the Winter Box, was taken away.
Laufey looked at Loki and narrowed his eyes slightly.
"But why can't you be sure that Odin and the Guardian God who protects the Rainbow Bridge have noticed?"
Loki laughed.
"Odin is currently in a deep slumber, and it is unknown when he will awaken—a day, a month, a year... or even a thousand or ten thousand years. During this time, I will cover you and your men as you proceed to Odin's room and kill him with your own hands."
"And you can retrieve your clan's sacred artifact, the 'Winter Box,' from the armory."
Upon hearing this, Laufey immediately stood up and looked at Loki.
He looked at Loki, pondering Loki's words just now.
At this moment, Loki continued speaking.
"You can also send your people to Midgard first, and then you can descend upon Midgard with the Winter Box..."
After a while, a glimmer of light appeared in Laufey's eyes.
"Can."
——
After leaving Jotunheim and returning to Asgard, Loki went straight to the armory where the Nine Realms and many artifacts were stored.
Holding the Gungnir, Loki approached the Winter Box and gazed upon the artifact of the Frost Giant Jotunheim.
The "Winter Box"... can also be called the "Ancient Winter Coffin".
It is said that the Winter Box possesses the power to turn any world into an eternal frozen age.
Furthermore, once the Winter Box is opened, the power from the realm of death will bring endless cold... and darkness to the entire world.
No one can stop this force.
Looking at the Winter Box, Loki, holding the Gungnir, raised his eyes to look at the mysterious room behind the Winter Box.
A room that looks like a prison.
Loki gently raised the Gungnir, and a mysterious power surged forth, causing the prison cell to slowly open.
A tall figure slowly walked out of the room.
As the fog gradually dissipated, the tall figure emerged.
A robot-like figure covered in metal appeared in Loki's eyes.
"Destroyer"
It is the ultimate weapon created by his father, Odin, the king of the gods!
Made using Asgard Uru Metal, it is virtually indestructible and capable of destroying all known matter in the universe.
Only the King of Asgard has the authority to activate "Destroyer." Even Loki needs to possess "Gungnir" to activate it, and he can only do so by getting close to the armory.
Only his father, Odin, was capable of remotely starting the machine.
Loki looked at the Destroyer, which had already been activated, and spoke.
"Make sure my brother never returns to Asgard."
"Destroy them all!"
Chapter Twenty-Five: Guest? Enemy?
The next morning, Thor and Jane, both with smiles on their faces, prepared breakfast together for Daisy, Erik, and Luo Mio.
Because Thor is the son of Odin and a god of Asgard, Nick Fury entrusted Luo Mio with the task of monitoring him and controlling him to prevent him from posing a danger to ordinary humans in special circumstances. After all, Luo Mio was very familiar with Thor's identity.
Then Luo Mio followed Jane, Thor, Daisy, and Erik to Jane's research base on the edge of the town.
Watching Thor and Jane's retreating figures, Daisy rested her chin on her hands and said.
"Did those two... do they already... did they do that last night...?"
Erik simply shrugged.
At this moment, Daisy also looked around.
"Where is Claudia?"
