Kapitel 56: Small-minded person!
Time rewinds to a few hours earlier.
Loki returned from a certain dark place and immediately ran into Heimdall, who had been waiting for him.
Heimdall, holding his great sword, blocked Loki with a fierce gaze and asked:
"Loki, tell me, how did you bring the Frost Giants to Asgard?"
Loki stopped, his expression calm, and said:
"You think the Bifrost is the only way into Asgard? Even you can't see all the paths between the two realms."
As he spoke, his eyes turned cold.
"But I don't need them anymore. Now that I'm king, you are relieved of your duty as the gatekeeper for committing treason! You're no longer a citizen of Asgard."
"Then I no longer have to obey you!"
Before Loki could respond, Heimdall struck, raising his sword to slash at Loki.
To Heimdall, it didn't matter who took the throne—that was Odin's right to decide.
But Loki bringing Frost Giants to Asgard… What was he up to?
Bringing his fellow beings, who had a centuries-old enmity with Asgard, here—what else could it be?
This was an invasion!
And led by someone who had taken Asgard's throne!
If Loki had just been fighting for the throne as Odin's second son, even with impure motives and bloodlines, Heimdall would have turned a blind eye.
But...
If Loki intended to lead his people in an invasion against Asgard, Heimdall could never allow it!
Thousands of years ago, Heimdall had sworn an oath:
"I am the gatekeeper of Asgard, and I shall block the path of all invaders!"
Loki, taste my sword!
But…
The cunning Loki had anticipated this. Calmly, he pulled out an object, aimed it at Heimdall, and unleashed a freezing blast.
Caught off guard, Heimdall was instantly hit. His sword, poised to strike Loki, could not move any further as his entire body turned into an ice statue.
At this moment, Loki's face and hands had transformed into the same blue-gray color as the Frost Giants due to using their artifact—the Casket of Ancient Winters—making him appear eerily sinister.
Seeing Heimdall frozen, Loki gave a cold smile and put away the Casket.
Now, no one can stop me!
I will kill anyone who dares block my path, and I will become the true ruler of the Nine Realms!
...
After Destroyer was frozen by Lynch, Loki furiously stomped his staff on the ground.
Lynch!
That damned Lynch, again!
I will make sure to toy with you to death!
Turning, he approached a group of Frost Giants with a blank expression and said:
"Welcome to Asgard."
"Where's Odin?"
Laufey, the leader of the group, his eyes gleaming, had waited for this day for a long time.
"Follow me."
...
"Heimdall! Take us back to Asgard!"
Standing on a strange sigil, Thor shouted into the sky.
Everyone else watched expectantly, and Lynch was curiously examining the sigil.
"Heimdall?"
Thor called again in confusion.
Heimdall should be able to see us, right?
Why hasn't he activated the Bifrost yet?
I've passed the test, haven't I?
Isn't it time to return to Asgard?
"Heimdall!"
Far away in Asgard, trapped in ice, Heimdall sensed Thor's call and began struggling desperately.
After a long while, a crack finally appeared in the ice!
In just a few seconds, Heimdall broke free and immediately killed several nearby Frost Giant guards.
Then, staggering to the Bifrost activation point, he inserted his sword, activating the Bifrost!
In an instant, a beam of light shot between the two worlds.
"It's here!"
Seeing the Bifrost finally activate, Thor couldn't help but get excited. At last…
The long-suffering prince could return to his kingdom of Asgard!
But this also meant that his adventures on Earth had come to an end.
He was going to part, at least for a while, from his Earth-bound girlfriend and his friends.
He walked over to Jane and hugged her, whispering softly:
"I have to return to Asgard to settle this, but I promise I'll come back for you."
Looking into Jane's eyes, filled with affection, he added:
"Deal?"
Jane softly replied:
"Okay!"
The two embraced in a passionate kiss.
"Are you done yet?"
Lynch, standing outside the circle, impatiently interrupted, unaware of the moment.
Thor smiled and glanced at his Earth friends.
"Goodbye, my friends!"
With that, he, Lynch, and the Asgardian warriors stepped into the Bifrost's light.
Lynch felt an overwhelming force pulling him. Instinctively, he wanted to resist with his life force, but quickly realized it was unnecessary.
In what felt like the blink of an eye, they traveled through space and dimensions, arriving at the legendary Asgard!
As the light faded, they saw Heimdall, collapsed on the ground, and...
Frost Giants!
"Jotuns?"
"The Frost Giants are invading again?"
The Asgardian warriors were immediately alarmed and, without waiting to question Heimdall, engaged in battle with the Frost Giants!
Only seven or eight Frost Giants had broken into this area, but two of them picked the seemingly weakest target—Lynch!
Facing the towering, hideous Frost Giants, Lynch silently fired two heat vision beams, disintegrating their bodies instantly.
However, the Frost Giants were attacking in large numbers, causing chaos all over Asgard.
The group, all stronger than the average Frost Giant, finished the fight in three minutes and then gathered around Heimdall.
"Go to Odin... they've gone there!"
Leaning on his sword, Heimdall, usually expressionless, now showed a hint of exhaustion.
"Lynch?"
Thor looked at Lynch.
"You lead the way!"
Lynch spoke.
Since we're here, we're definitely going to fight the giant king!
Thor nodded, spun his hammer, and flung himself into the air, heading towards Odin's palace.
Lynch quickly followed, using his heat vision to clear the Frost Giants along the way.
In moments, they reached the outside of Odin's residence.
"Hurry inside!"
Hearing the sounds of battle within, Thor rushed in, just in time to see Laufey, wielding an ice spike, preparing to strike Odin.
"No!"
Laufey attacked, thrusting the ice spike towards Odin.
"Boom!"
Lynch grabbed Laufey's hand, pulling him just enough for the blow to miss.
That tiny bit of distance ruined Loki's carefully planned ambush!
Loki had intended to let the Frost Giants in, then kill Laufey at the critical moment, becoming Asgard's savior and winning the people's love, securing the throne.
But…
Once again, that damn Lynch had foiled his plan!
Lynch was now gripping Laufey's body, pulling hard and tearing off his right arm!
"Ahhh!"
Laufey howled in agony.
"Die!"
Enraged by the pain, Laufey charged at Lynch.
"Zzz—"
A flash of light, and Laufey was instantly reduced to a giant charred corpse.
After that he looked towards the frost giants.
These Frost Giants are too weak! I didn't even try, and you're already down!
After quietly grumbling to himself, Lynch looked over at Loki.
The trickster god was glaring at him furiously, clearly seething with rage.
Angry, huh? I just stole your kill, didn't I?
Is it worth getting this upset?
Small-minded!
Such a small-minded person!
