Chapter 41:
Thor was completely shocked when he heard this, as if struck by lightning.
After Fang Mo's reminder, many previously incomprehensible things now made sense.
For instance, the reason why his father, the King, was so furious and stripped him of his divine power after he trespassed into Jotunheim. It might not have been solely due to the grudges and wars between the Frost Giants and Asgard, but also because Loki could have discovered his true identity.
The psychological impact Loki would suffer after learning all of this was unimaginable to Thor.
No wonder Loki manipulated the Destroyer to cause trouble for him.
"No, I have to go back and talk to him..."
Thor became anxious at the thought and didn't wait for the Asgardian warriors. He shouted, looking up, "Heimdall! Take me back!"
However, after waiting for a while, there was no movement in the sky.
"Heimdall?"
Sif also looked puzzled, furrowing her brows. "Why is there no movement?"
"Let's wait a little longer," reassured Fang Mo, who knew the reason for the current situation. Loki had probably already begun executing his plan to deceive Laufey, the king of the Frost Giants, into invading Asgard. Loki would catch him off guard, kill him, and subsequently destroy Jotunheim.
To successfully implement his plan, Loki would first need to deal with Heimdall, the guardian.
Heimdall was likely frozen in the icy power of the ancient winter coffin. However, Heimdall's strength was formidable, and it wouldn't be long before he broke free.
While they waited, a vehicle approached from a distance with the Asgardian warriors and Jane Foster.
Thor explained the urgent situation to them, being cautious about revealing Loki's true identity as a Frost Giant. He only mentioned that Loki planned to destroy Jotunheim, and he needed to go back to stop him.
Meanwhile, Heimdall heard Thor's call. He broke free from the ice and defeated the Frost Giant who had been guarding him.
With his injured body, Heimdall walked into the teleportation chamber and activated the Bifrost Bridge by inserting his sword into the mechanism.
As the Bifrost Bridge activated, Thor noticed the change in the clouds above and quickly bid farewell to Jane Foster. A colorful light descended from the sky, and Fang Mo joined them as they all disappeared from the spot.
Indeed, in the original story, Thor was unaware of Loki's reasons for turning evil. He only knew that Loki had sent the Destroyer to kill him, so he returned to Asgard consumed by anger. Upon his arrival, he confronted Loki directly, and the conflict escalated, leading to the destruction of the Bifrost.
But now, things were different. Thor's perspective had shifted after learning the truth.
The problem was, Loki was unaware of any of this.
He was truly panicking now. Freezing Heimdall and the others was his attempt to prevent their return, but now, not only had Thor regained his godly powers, but Fang Mo stood beside him as well.
Loki had witnessed Fang Mo easily defeat the Destroyer, which was made with Uru metal. It shattered like a watermelon in Fang Mo's hands. Loki doubted his own ability to match Uru's toughness.
"Loki, I..."
Thor took a step forward, seemingly about to address Loki.
However, to everyone's surprise, Loki made the first move. He suddenly aimed Gungnir at Thor.
Caught off guard, Thor was sent flying by the attack, crashing through the outer wall of the palace and plummeting down.
"Loki! Thor!" Queen Frigga was also stunned and quickly shouted.
"Mother, I'm sorry, but the Frost Giants must pay," Loki raised his head and said to Frigga. He then waved his hand, and the ancient Winter Casket appeared, instantly releasing a chilling cold air towards Fang Mo. Loki seemed to realize he couldn't match Fang Mo's power and intended to freeze him to buy some time.
However, to Loki's surprise, Fang Mo's figure instantly transformed into purple light and vanished. The cold air struck the chamber wall, leaving it covered in a thick layer of ice.
"What?"
Loki was stunned by the sight. But in the next moment, he felt a cold blade pressing against his neck.
Startled, Loki raised his hands, and with a loud clank, both the ancient Winter Casket and Gungnir fell to the ground.
Witnessing this scene, Fang Mo couldn't help but feel the urge to comment.
But before he could say anything, an electronic prompt sounded in his mind.
