"No! You can't tell!"
Loki's expression shifted repeatedly.
He had faced Richard directly and had also witnessed Loki's brief encounter with Odin, the King of Gods.
He knew full well that his opponent's strength was unfathomable!
The mere thought of facing Richard as an enemy filled Loki with dread and made his scalp tingle.
He chuckled bitterly and murmured, "Even my father wasn't a match for him. What good would it do to know the truth?"
" The Divine Realm and Richard are now allies..."
"Once the two sides completely break off relations, there will be no benefit other than bringing the Divine Realm a powerful and invincible enemy."
As for Ragnarok Odin and Frigga feared so much... Loki scoffed at it.
And so, the next day arrived.
Loki refused to hand over the Eternal Flame, and because he instigated the Dark Elves to attack the Golden Palace, Asgard suffered heavy casualties.
Odin, the King of Gods, publicly announced Loki's punishment in the Golden Palace Royal Hall.
"Effective immediately, Loki is stripped of all his status and position in the Divine Realm and is expelled from Asgard. He shall never again set foot in the Divine Realm!"
The royal court fell silent for a moment.
But a moment later, the high-ranking officials and guards present cheered in unison.
"Your Majesty is wise!"
" Loki deserved it!"
Hearing the cheers from the crowd, Loki's face turned ashen. He hadn't expected that he would be so universally despised in the vast Asgard.
His eyes gradually lost all their sparkle.
Loki was then taken to the Bifrost.
The captain of the guards responsible for escorting the goods relayed Odin's orders to the Guardian Deity Heimdall.
"Lord Heimdall, His God King commands that the criminal Loki be banished from Asgard!"
Heimdall glanced at Loki and said expressionlessly, " Heimdall, as you command."
Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.
"Wait a minute!"
Everyone turned around and saw four white horses pulling a golden carriage decorated with countless blooming flowers galloping towards them across the long Bifrost corridor.
The carriage moved extremely fast, arriving in front of the group in the blink of an eye.
The groom suddenly pulled on the reins, and the four white horses reared up and galloped away.
'Hiss~'
The golden carriage came to a sudden stop in front of the crowd.
Then, the carriage door opened, and Queen Frigga stepped down from the carriage.
The Golden Palace Guard escorting the entourage bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty the Divine Empress."
The Guardian Deity Heimdall, holding his sword with both hands, simply nodded respectfully.
Frigga waved in response, her gaze sweeping over the Golden Palace Guard and Heimdall before settling on Loki.
"I'll see Loki off."
The captain of the Golden Palace Guard respectfully said, "Your Majesty, please proceed."
After saying that, he led his men away into the distance.
Heimdall closed his eyes and turned his back.
Loki, his face expressionless, bowed and said, "Mother... Your Majesty the Goddess."
Frigga stepped forward and hugged him.
" Loki, my child..."
Loki trembled, his eyes welling with tears, and said in a trembling voice, "I'm sorry, Mother."
At that moment, his mother's warm embrace made him unable to suppress his inner turmoil any longer.
Frigga's eyes also welled up with tears.
She gently patted Loki's back and swiftly slipped a dagger into his arms without making a sound.
"After today's farewell, we don't know when we'll see each other again."
"From now on, you need to take good care of yourself and also try to control your temper."
Loki nodded, his voice choked with emotion, and replied, "Thank you for coming to see me off, Mother."
Frigga wiped away her tears and said, " Loki, don't hate your father. As the King of Gods, he had to do it."
Loki chuckled self-deprecatingly, "Ha~ It doesn't matter, Mother. I'm not his biological son anyway."
Frigga sighed inwardly. After this separation, the relationship between the father and son was probably beyond repair.
Heimdall, standing to the side:...
[hiss!!!
I imagined I'd overheard a shocking secret?!
Prince Loki is not Odin's biological son?!
Could it be that Her Majesty the Queen of the Goddess gave Odin a green hat...?
Fuck!
I didn't see anything! I didn't hear anything!
I am blind! Deaf!
He hypnotized himself as he began to walk quietly away into the distance.
But what happens next...?
"Lord Heimdall!"
Loki's voice suddenly rang out.
Heimdall's raised right foot froze in mid-air.
[Oh no... oh no!]
"It's time for me to leave."
Heimdall's heart, which had been pounding, instantly calmed down.
He quickly put down his foot, turned around, lowered his head to avoid Frigga's gaze, and respectfully asked, "Your Majesty, where does Prince Loki wish to be sent?"
Before Frigga could speak, Loki interjected, "As long as it's not within the Nine Realms, just throw me onto any Living Planet."
He shrugged and said with feigned optimism, "Anyway, someone here doesn't want to see me again, so I might as well stay far away to avoid offending their eyes."
Frigga sighed inwardly, a headache forming: [The relationship between these two has gotten even worse...]
Frigga nodded helplessly and said, " Heimdall, let's do as Loki says."
Heimdall: "Yes, Your Majesty."
He raised his two Golden Sword and plunged them into the Bifrost Console.
Golden eyes pierced through space, gazing upon a distant, bustling Living Planet...
A surge of immense Spatial Energy enveloped Loki and transported him there.
Frigga stared blankly at the spot where Loki had disappeared, and sighed with a sense of loss.
Sigh~
She nodded to Heimdall: "Thank you, Heimdall."
Heimdall calmly retorted, "I did nothing, Your Majesty."
Frigga smiled and turned to walk towards the golden carriage.
But just then, something unexpected happened!
A dark shadow darted out from under the golden carriage and rushed towards Queen Frigga with lightning speed.
The coachman screamed, his eyes wide with terror, "An assassin!!!"
Upon hearing this, the group of Golden Palace Guard in the distance immediately drew their weapons and ran frantically toward them.
But Heimdall was even faster than them.
He strode in front of Frigga and raised his Golden Sword to slash at the shadowy figure.
The dark figure sidestepped, using its shoulder to block Heimdall's attack.
'Click!'
The Golden Sword pierced the shadowy figure's shoulder, only to be instantly jammed by the hard bone.
Heimdall's expression changed, and he hurriedly tried to pull out the Golden Sword.
But the next second, the dark figure roared, "Get lost!"
He raised his foot and kicked Heimdall in the stomach with lightning speed.
"Ugh!" Heimdall groaned, and was thrown backward.
'Sizzle!'
He gripped the hilt of the Golden Sword tightly, and with the force of the throw, the sharp blade sliced off the shadowy figure's right shoulder and arm.
Without uttering a sound, the shadowy figure rushed in front of Frigga, grabbed her by the neck, and lifted her up.
Frigga stared at the face of the shadowy figure, her pupils suddenly contracting.
"It's... you?!"
The dark figure grinned maliciously and said, "We meet again, Odin's woman."
Just then, the Golden Palace Guard finally arrived. They quickly surrounded the dark figure and shouted sternly, "Damn it, release Her Majesty the Empress!"
But when they saw the assassin's face and body clearly, they all showed expressions of horror.
