Chapter 98 Family Barriers
Chapter 98 Family Barriers
"Loki..." Thor couldn't help but grit his teeth when he saw his half-brother.
He was deeply shocked, angry, saddened, and disappointed by everything that had happened during this period.
If he hadn't seen and heard it with his own eyes and ears, he would never have believed that Loki would fabricate Odin's death, let alone kill him.
On the other side, Loki did not respond to Thor first, but instead turned his attention to Heimdall.
"Bang!" The end of the Eternal Spear was slammed heavily onto the ground.
"Heimdall, who did you swear allegiance to?!"
"Your Highness, I pledge my allegiance to the King of Asgard, the ruler of the Nine Realms."
"Wait a minute, what did you just call me? You rude scoundrel!"
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. But your older brother has returned, and he should be the heir apparent."
Heimdall responded coldly to Loki's question.
Loki, who was about to lash out, felt a chill, because Heimdall's words made perfect sense.
He was able to sit on the throne as the interim king only because Saul was exiled.
But now that the real power broker has returned, he has no choice but to step down.
So now, for Loki, the situation has reached its worst point.
Having his legitimate kingship revoked, the enraged god of thunder regained his divine power, and even the mighty Heimdall no longer sided with him.
"Ha!" Loki chuckled wryly. "It really is a case of everyone kicking someone when they're down."
"If you were wise enough, you wouldn't have done that, and I would definitely support you even more," Heimdall added insult to injury.
Thor looked at Heimdall, then at Loki, and finally couldn't bear it.
"Brother, things have gotten out of hand. It's not too late to turn back now. Put down Gungnir and come with me to find Father."
Thor reached out his hand to Loki, trying to make his expression as gentle and kind as possible.
Despite being angry, Loki was still his brother, someone he had grown up with since childhood.
However, Loki did not seem to accept Thor's good intentions; on the contrary, the move angered him.
"I don't need your pity! I've lived in your shadow since I was a child! Who do you think you are!"
Loki slammed his spear of eternity into the ground, producing a series of crisp sounds.
Seeing his expression, Qin Wuying shook his head helplessly.
These blended families really have a lot of problems.
Odin has always refused to reveal Loki's true identity, secretly plotting to use Loki to achieve peace.
Thor always treated Loki like a younger brother, taking care of him and loving him, but he ignored Loki's self-esteem.
"Father said we were born to be kings, but in the end, it's always you he talks about!"
Unable to suppress his emotions any longer, Loki raised the Spear of Eternity and pointed one end at Thor.
"Loki! It's not too late to explain to your father!" Thor was still trying to persuade him.
At this moment, Heimdall, who was standing to the side, could not stand it any longer. He swung his greatsword and slashed at Loki.
Putting aside his identity and only talking about combat strength, Heimdall is one of the top elites in Asgard.
Without using magic, Loki might not be able to defeat Heimdall.
"I knew you would betray me, that's why I took this." Loki raised his other hand, which was holding the Frost God Box.
A tangible chill emanated from it and coiled around Heimdall's body—
In the blink of an eye, the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge was frozen into an ice sculpture.
Thor was completely stunned by this scene. Odin had said that although the Cube was dangerous, only the Frost Giants could use it.
That means... "How dare you impersonate my brother!" Thor roared.
"Can't you see?" Qin Wuying reached out to stop Thor. "Loki has been a frost giant from the very beginning."
"What...?!" Upon hearing this news, Thor was stunned, as if struck by lightning, and remained speechless for a long time.
The younger brother she spends every day with turns out to be from Jotunheim, a hostile country with whom she has a terrible relationship!
"So, do you still think I could become king someday?" Loki asked in a self-deprecating tone.
Thor, who is usually impulsive and reckless, fell silent this time.
He couldn't believe that his father, Odin, had kept it from them for so long that he knew nothing about it.
A mix of emotions surged through his mind, and a wave of dizziness washed over him, causing Thor's body to slump to the side.
Volstager and Van der Lorre, who were standing nearby, quickly helped him up.
"Next up is you. You outsider, you always ruin my plans." Loki looked at Qin Wuying and activated the God Box again.
The same chilling aura emanated, heading straight for Qin Wuying's chest.
Instantly, a large amount of frost energy spread out, threatening to turn Qin Wuying into an ice sculpture as well.
At a crucial moment, he remembered something he hadn't used in a long time.
"Thanks to you, you reminded me of it, and you can also treat my wounds while you're at it."
After speaking, Qin Wuying secretly activated his magic power, and the lightning mark on his neck immediately emitted an orange light.
That's right, this is the Extremis virus that has been sealed away for a long time.
Through a long period of adjustment and modification, it has now fully adapted to Qin Wuying's body and can be used entirely by him.
As expected, once the Extremis virus was released, it immediately spread throughout the body, especially to the injured areas.
The chilling aura emanating from the divine box did not freeze Qin Wuying; instead, it healed him.
"What kind of evil is this? I've never seen anything like it before..." Loki's eyes widened as he repeatedly activated the God Box.
However, no matter how many times the cold air struck, Qin Wuying remained unharmed thanks to the heat generated by the Extinction Virus.
Of course, this is also related to Loki's overly simplistic approach to using the God Box.
A few seconds later, the Extremis virus, having completed its mission, was once again ruthlessly sealed back into the lightning bolt mark.
Just as surprised as Loki were the Asgardian Warriors who had been standing nearby.
Their impression of Midgard was actually similar to that of Jotunheim: that the people on Earth were backward and barbaric.
Surprisingly, there was a powerful and noble mage like Qin Wuying.
"You four," Qin Wuying turned around, "why are you just standing there watching?"
Loki's attention was completely on me just now. If the Warriors of Asgard had taken the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, they might have succeeded.
The four soldiers looked at each other, then suddenly realized what was going on.
Unfortunately, in battle they usually follow Thor's orders and have forgotten to launch their own attacks.
"Fine, I'll do it myself. The magic box is destined to be mine."
Qin Wuying shook his head, summoned two bright blue magic circles with his hands, and assumed a fighting stance.
"So you came here to steal the treasures of Jotunheim..." Thor came to his senses, somewhat surprised.
Just when the atmosphere was tense and a major battle was about to break out—
Loki's spear of eternity suddenly flew out of his hand.
