Chapter 146 Chapter 145: Don’t lie to yourself
In the vast deep space universe, a mass of nebula-like material condensed into crystals. On a huge foundation, the azure ocean flowed to the edge, turning into a waterfall-like spectacle.
Asgard, the fairy palace in Norse mythology, where the legendary gods live.
However, according to the Marvel setting, although Asgard is considered a powerful force in the universe, except for Odin's family, it is difficult for other Asgardians to be called "gods".
At this time, Odin, the father of the gods, was frowning, always feeling that something was wrong.
The strength of Gu Yi is unfathomable, and even he can't figure it out. The two sides are on the same page, and they can be regarded as colleagues in the protection work of the Nine Realms, but each has something hidden, and the two of them go back and forth. Over the years, the tempers and conduct of both parties have become very good.
The Supreme Mage, who used to stay at home, suddenly agreed to come over to attend his son's celebration banquet. This was obviously wrong.
Ten or even nine points is wrong!
Thinking of this, he immediately gave the order to the guards.
"Go and call Thor here. I have something to tell him. Oh, and by the way, call Heimdall here too."
The guard nodded respectfully, "Yes, the great father of the gods."
He was about to leave when Odin stopped him again.
"Wait a minute, Loki...Loki also calls over."
After all, both of them are princes of Asgard. It's really not good to just call them Thor, even though Loki is here and can't help much.
Thinking of this, Odin sighed.
The three crown princes of Asgard, the eldest princess Hela, is quite impressive. She has amazing strength at a young age and has a better record than when he was young. She made great contributions when helping him to pacify the Nine Realms.
She was too cruel and belligerent. After pacifying the Nine Realms, she still wanted to continue to expand. She wished she could unify the entire universe. But she didn't know that the water here was very deep and she couldn't control it. Odin could only bear the pain and seal her away.
The second prince Thor, his strength is passable, but he is a real reckless man. He spends all day "fighting, it's fun!" and runs wherever there is a fight. Apart from fighting, he just drinks. If it weren't for Asgard He has always advocated force, and it is difficult for him to hold his position as heir.
To rule the nine realms requires force, but it cannot be just force. A wise monarch must have both the strength to stabilize the territory under his jurisdiction and the strategy to govern his subjects.
The third prince...the third prince Loki has a little talent in terms of brains, knows current affairs, and is good at strategies, but this is limited to small fights and cannot reach the realm of elegance.
To be fair, Loki's envy, jealousy, and hatred for Thor can be seen by everyone except Thor himself, a stupid guy.
If he could completely hide his jealousy towards Thor and hide his brotherly love in front of everyone, Odin felt that he might not be able to consider the possibility of Loki's succession.
"Every one of them makes people worry."
Odin walked to a huge mirror and looked at himself. His eyes penetrated the Destroyer armor and saw the skinny body underneath. Although he was still very strong, he was still too old.
The Asgardians have a strong physique and a long lifespan. The average lifespan is about 5,000 years. This is a large number. Looking at the entire universe, they are considered a long-lived people. Correspondingly, many methods of extending lifespan are not suitable for them. kick in.
At his level, it is not impossible to survive forever, but that way of living is not what Odin wants, so it is urgent to choose a successor.
This was also the reason why he always sent Thor to resolve minor disputes and frictions in the territory. He had to establish some achievements and prestige for his children in advance, so that he could convince the public.
Thor did a pretty good job in this regard, so Odin is quite satisfied with his son.
If nothing else happens, he will be able to prepare for his enthronement ceremony in a few months.
Heimdall, who was wearing thick golden armor, was the first to arrive. He saluted Odin and his eyes stayed for a moment on Odin's Destroyer Armor and Eternal Spear.
It had been a long time since he had seen Odin in such a fully armed posture.
"Odin, is there something I need to do?"
Heimdall was concise and concise, and his words were quite profitable.
The two had fought side by side on the battlefield. When no one was around, Odin valued this old friend very much. When no one was around, Heimdall did not call him "Father" or "Your Majesty" like others.
"Heimdall, I need your eyes."
Odin's tone was deep, "Look carefully at Midgard with your eyes and tell me, who is the successor of the Supreme Mage?"
"Does that mage also have an heir?"
A glimmer of light flashed in Heimdall's eyes. His eyes are said to be able to see every part of the nine realms. In legends, he is called the guardian god.
Although it is not that easy to use in practice, this does not mean that his eyesight is not good, but that there are some places on the earth that are blocked or cannot be reached by his eyesight.
Heimdall's gaze traveled through the distant space and landed on Karma Taj, searching for the figure of the successor of the Supreme Mage. He passed a group of novice mages who were practicing opening portals and set his sights on the interior of the library. There were restrictions set by Ancient Yi here. He felt that his vision was covered with a layer of mist, and the picture he saw was not clear enough, but fortunately he still found the target.
It was an elf with pointed ears. Even if you couldn't see it clearly, you could tell from the outline that he had the great appearance of the elves. The elf mage was holding a magic book with his eyes focused.
Judging from the powerful magic fluctuations and aura of that mage, he should be the successor of the Supreme Mage mentioned by Odin.
Suddenly, he raised his head and his eyes met Heimdall's.
The elf mage showed a polite smile, nodded slightly to him, and then continued to lower his head to read.
Heimdall:...
Suddenly a little embarrassed.
"How, did you see anything?"
Seeing that Heimdall did not speak after retracting his gaze, Odin couldn't help but ask.
"The successor is an elf mage, knowledgeable, wise, and kind. There are people who will succeed the Supreme Mage."
Odin: (灬O)
Impossible, absolutely impossible!
He doesn’t know what kind of character Gu Yi is? It would be damned if he could find such a reliable heir.
It must be a deception!
At this time, a roaring sound broke through the air, and a silver-white hammer flew at high speed, bringing with it the pendant No. 1, the Big Golden Sol, on the handle, and the pendant No. 2, which was held in the hand of the pendant No. 1. No. Little Corgi...Loki.
The hammer stopped steadily. Thor, the God of Thunder, who was wearing a close-fitting armor and a body of tendons, took the hammer and raised it high, as if he was afraid that others would not see the hammer in his hand, and then yelled at Odin.
"Father, why did you call Loki and me here? Is there another war?"
He turned sideways and faced Heimdall with a cheerful giggle: "Oh, Heimdall, you are here too! It's so strange, it's rare to see you leave the Rainbow Bridge!"
Heimdall:...
After seeing an elf mage who smelled like a book just now, and then looking at this silly big guy like Thor, I felt like I couldn't look straight at him!
Odin: "Thor, your performance on the battlefield..."
Just in the middle of speaking, Loki, who was forcefully dragged by Thor and experienced the turbulence in the air, ran out of the hall with his mouth covered, and then there was a heartbreaking sound of vomiting from outside.
"Loki's physique is too weak, even Sif is stronger than him."
Thor shook his head when he heard this. He had always felt that his brother's body was not durable enough, and he felt even more so now.
What the Asgardians admire most is confrontation. Although Loki's tricks have become somewhat passable, his trick of sneaking up a phantom to attract attention and then sneaking around to attack has always been unpopular.
A moment later, Loki, who had finished vomiting, walked back in with a dark face, acted as if nothing had happened, and saluted Odin.
"Father, why did you call Thor and me here?"
Odin touched his beard and said, "Tomorrow is Thor's celebration banquet. I have invited the Supreme Mage on Midgard and his successor to the banquet, so this banquet needs to be more grand."
"And you, my two children, need to behave well and not lose your Asgardian dignity in front of the guests."
"Don't worry, I will perform well!"
Thor seemed quite interested. The Supreme Mage in Midgard was very mysterious. He had never seen him before. This time he had a rare chance.
I remember my father once commented on this person: "Regardless of his character, his strength is very strong."
He just likes the strong!
Loki was heartbroken. As a mage, he had also heard the introduction from his mother Frigga. He understood the weight of the Supreme Mage better than Thor. He was a character who could chat and laugh with Odin.
Inviting such a powerful man to Thor's celebration banquet is undoubtedly the beginning of the succession. It seems that Odin has decided to pass the throne to Thor.
Although I have always known that Thor is the one that everyone wants, even though everyone has supported Thor as the king a long time ago, even though he has always behaved calmly and calmly.
But when the dust finally settled, Loki still felt particularly uncomfortable.
This is like finding out that your wife has started to put on makeup, go out early and come back late, run on the other end of the phone, have some strange marks on her body, and wear a pair of men's underwear that is not hers. She still lies to herself and gives many explanations, but she doesn't recognize the reality until she sees it with her own eyes.
It hurts, it hurts so much!
Loki touched the knife hidden in his waist and looked at Thor's waist with a fierce look in his eyes.
Good brothers should put a knife in each other's side. He doesn't want Saul's side. Just give them two waists and make him extinct!
Odin looked at it and sighed again and again. His family was unlucky, and all these things were disappointing.
