Chapter 425 Friends, family conflicts
I have to say that Sol, who looks rough on the outside, is actually very qualified.
Although Asgard's warlike nature makes him look like a reckless man, in fact, he is a very gentlemanly person.
Well, throwing wine glasses is also a family tradition.
But now, John was looking around in Sol's room.
As a brave Asgardian warrior, Thor's great strength won him the favor of Gao Tianzun.
Gao Tianzun likes to watch competitions and will not treat his good warriors badly.
There is no freedom in the room, but everything you need is available.
Gao Tianzun promised Thor that as long as he could complete one hundred championship battles, he would give him the opportunity to leave.
But at that time, it was obvious that Asgard had completely become Hela's.
"Okay, just give me a couple more punches."
John said to him, and Loki showed an ugly smile, "You are quite a nice person."
Thor punched the brother who had cheated his father to death on the stomach, and Loki fell down holding his stomach.
"John, how did you get here?" Thor let go of Loki, and he walked quickly to John, "I need to go back, John, Asgard needs me."
"Need you?" John touched his chin, "Do you think Hela will destroy Asgard?"
"You know everything?" Thor was stunned, and soon thought it was Loki who said it, and he hurriedly said, "Her ambition will plunge the nine kingdoms into war again."
"According to Hela's character, it's not impossible." John thought about it and felt it made sense, "But what are you going to do?"
"Just go back like this and lead people to attack Hela?"
After hearing John's question, Thor also went through it in his mind.
"Heimdall will help me." Thor took a deep breath. "The people of Asgard will overthrow his brutal rule."
"That's a good idea," John clapped his hands and said, "Then before you implement the plan, I need to tell you something."
"I think you know that Hela will have infinite power in Asgard, right?"
Thor heard this from Odin.
He was originally going to defeat Hela in the atrium, but unfortunately Loki had someone open the Rainbow Bridge in advance because of his greed for life and fear of death, which gave Hela a way to return to Asgard.
What he has to face now is not Hela, the goddess of death, but Hela in Asgard, Odin's first descendant and Asgard's first heir.
"He's right," Loki said, standing up with difficulty. "Our sister crushed your hammer with one hand."
"She's invincible."
Loki took a few breaths to allow himself to recover, looked at Thor and said: "She is invincible in Asgard, even Odin can only banish her."
"Listen to me, brother," Loki said sincerely, "We can stay here, become Gao Tianzun's right-hand man, and then let him have an accident."
After saying that, he realized that John was still here, and he stammered: "I mean uh..."
"You know, Loki." John looked at Loki speechlessly, "If you are the king's deputy, it will make people unable to sleep."
Loki spread his hands.
Thor looked at him quietly, and Loki stopped talking.
"John," Thor walked up to John and said seriously, "I need to go back, whether it is for Asgard or the Nine Kingdoms."
"Uh... interrupt me."
Looking at Thor's affectionate look, Loki silently raised his hand and said, "Did he tell you that our sister is his friend?"
Thor was stunned.
He didn't know this, and he looked at John blankly.
John didn't deny it, he just said: "No one stipulates that you can't be friends with siblings."
"I'm glad that you are willing to admit that Hela is your sister, even though you are not related by blood, Loki."
John gave Loki an appreciative look, and Loki was horrified.
"How can you……"
"To be precise, I've known her earlier than you, Thor."
John interrupted Thor, picked up something like a ball, squeezed it, threw it and bounced back and said: "Before you want to put the names of tyrant, murderer, invader, etc. on Hela's head, I need to tell You have a story.”
"Same invader, same murderer, same tyrant."
"The difference is that in front of you, he is a father and a kind king."
John raised his hand, and golden powder flew out of his palm.
"I once visited the Golden Palace in Asgard."
"Tell me, Thor," John looked at Thor, "a warrior, a loyal soldier, has everything wiped out, as if she had never been in this world, and wiped out the legion she trusted, how is this? How does it feel?"
The golden powder dispersed and turned into a smoke-like mist that enveloped the entire room.
In the smoke, the surroundings changed.
That is the underworld, a country full of mist and souls.
Their sister spent thousands of years in a place like this.
The two brothers looked at the woman.
When John met Hela, she maintained her pride, which was the pride that belonged to Odinson
But there was nothing around her, no army, and no great achievements that should have been attributed to the creation of the army she led.
She was Odin's executioner, and all her killing and cruelty came from what Odin instilled in her.
Thor looked at his sister like this. His eyes showed complexity, including hatred, unwillingness, and a trace of compassion brought by family affection.
"Loki," John suddenly called Loki, "how old are you."
Loki was stunned, looked at Thor, and said, "A thousand?"
"In a thousand years, if it hadn't been for Odin's death, you wouldn't have known that there was a sister above you."
"A sister who brings glory to Asgard for your father."
John looked at Loki and said, "Tell me how crazy and angry you were when Odin favored another person in all fair competitions."
Loki was taught from an early age that Odin would choose the king among the two brothers.
But as he grew older, he discovered Odin's partiality and pride towards Thor.
He was paranoid and did not hesitate to kill his biological father to prove himself.
Loki was silent for a moment and said, "Actually, I know something, Thor."
Thor looked at him and Loki said, "Do you remember the murals in the palace?"
Of course Thor remembers that there is a depiction of Asgard.
Signing a peace pact with Vanaheim, there was glory and a banquet, and a photo of their family.
Loki said: "Under that layer of murals, there is this layer."
"I also found out while impersonating Odin."
Loki said with a complex expression: "Underneath, there are scenes of Odin's conquests in the nine kingdoms, and our sister."
Odin used prosperity to cover up his former cruelty, and used kindness and forgetfulness to wash away Asgard's stigma.
But that's only in Asgard.
"I have been to Vanaheim and Alfheim, Thor." John looked at Thor who was shocked by the truth, "Odin is a qualified father to you."
"But to other people, he is still terrifying and scary."
Thor was devastated.
He couldn't understand what his kind father had done.
It wiped out all the glory that a warrior should have.
"I will not interfere in your fight, Thor."
John looked at Thor and said calmly: "But I hope you understand that there is no need for your battle to affect Asgard."
"In other words, Asgard chose Hela."
"The warlike nature makes Asgard like warlike monarchs."
"If you want to stop her," John paused and said, "that means you want to destroy Asgard."
"You cannot erase Asgard's choice."
This is a cruel fact.
Just as the golden tree loves an outsider, Asgard loves its Hela.
Although Odin has been running the image of Asgard guarding the nine kingdoms over the years, Asgard ironically chose Hela, who was seen as cruel.
"John, you are right." Thor's mood recovered and he said seriously, "This is Odinson's business. There is no need to involve the people of Asgard in this battle."
"What should I do, John." Thor lowered his head in front of John, "The son of Odin, the child of the witch Frigga, seeks guidance from the Witch King."
John looked at him, "You're doing it, Thor."
"duel."
"Strength comes first."
John put down the ball in his hand, and the fog around him cleared.
"Gao Tianzun has given you the most suitable opportunity to train yourself."
John's words made Thor hesitate, "How can I defeat her without my hammer?"
"I said, I won't join your duel." John shrugged, "But you are not the God of Hammers."
These words made Thor determined.
Maybe John was right and here was a good trial for him.
A true king should not involve his people in family conflicts.
"John, I understand."
Saul was grateful to John.
Loki looked stunned.
"Wait, are you planning to fight alone with that crazy...our sister?"
Loki looked at John with a horrified look on his face. What kind of magic power did this man have? He deceived his brother like this.
Although he would turn into a snake and stab Thor when he was a child, he would never want to see Thor beaten to death by Hela.
"You will be killed by her. She is so powerful that even Odin can only banish her!"
Loki said as he gradually stopped.
He saw a smile on Sol's face.
"Sometimes I really want to hug you, brother." Thor said looking at Loki.
Loki stopped, knowing that Thor had made up his mind.
"The people of Asgard should not be involved in our family's affairs." Thor shook his head and said, "There is one thing, John, you said it wrong."
He looked at John and said, "Father's choice to banish Hela shows that he still has the heart and guilt of being a father."
"No matter what, I hope you can tell Hela to treat the people of Asgard well."
Thor said: "Father said that there is no way to prevent the arrival of Ragnarok. If I die, I hope that she can lead her people through the arrival of Ragnarok."
He has matured a lot, and may still be a little impulsive, but he can already think like a king.
War is no longer Sol's first choice, the country and its people are.
It's just that Thor feels that it may take a long time for him to return to Asgard.
"You don't have to worry about this," John said, knowing his concerns. "The time here is different from that in Asgard."
