...
Odin's arrival silenced the battlefield.
The overwhelming presence of the King of the Gods swept across Jotunheim like a tidal wave, commanding the attention of every being. Countless eyes turned toward him, their gazes filled with a mixture of fear and awe.
Laufey's narrow, scarlet eyes locked onto Odin. His voice was low and menacing as he drawled, "Odin~~~"
Seeing his father's arrival, Thor raised Mjolnir high and exclaimed eagerly, "Father! Let's destroy them together!"
But Odin, astride Sleipnir, glared at his son with piercing intensity and growled, "Shut up."
Thor's excited expression froze instantly. Confusion and disbelief replaced his enthusiasm as he stared at his father, stunned into silence.
Laufey moved without walking. The ice beneath his feet surged, carrying him until he was level with Odin. Standing face-to-face with the All-Father, Laufey's expression was unreadable as he spoke in a low, mocking tone. "Father of the Gods~~~ You look tired."
Odin's weathered face betrayed no emotion. His voice was calm yet firm. "Laufey, let this end here."
"This is a war your son started, Odin!" Laufey retorted sharply.
"Yes," Odin admitted, "but it was the thoughtless act of a boy. Let's not escalate this. You and I can settle it."
"This is no longer a matter of diplomacy," Laufey hissed. "Your son will have what he desires." His tone darkened as he leaned closer, emphasizing the final words: "War... and death."
Odin stared at Laufey in silence, his expression unreadable. Then, he spoke coldly, "So be it."
Laufey smiled faintly, but it was a smile devoid of warmth. The frost magic in his hands coalesced into a deadly ice shard, and with a swift motion, he hurled it toward Odin.
But before the shard could reach its target, thunder flashed in Odin's single eye. He raised Gungnir high, and the spear unleashed a torrent of radiant, multicolored divine light. The power surged forward, striking Laufey with devastating force and sending him hurtling through the air like a cannonball. He smashed into a massive block of ice, crumpling to the ground as he glared at Odin with bitter hatred.
Meanwhile, the Rainbow Bridge activated behind Thor and his companions. The shimmering portal enveloped them, carrying them away from Jotunheim.
Laufey struggled to his feet, watching the colorful light of the Bifrost fade into the sky. His voice was a low murmur, filled with ominous determination. "This is just the beginning, Odin..."
On the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard, Thor turned to his father, his frustration boiling over. "Why did you bring us back?"
Odin's gaze was hard, his voice cutting. "Do you know what you've done? You've started a war."
Thor interrupted sharply, "I was defending my homeland!"
Odin's expression darkened further. "If you can't even protect your friends and companions, what makes you think you can protect this kingdom?"
With a heavy sigh, Odin gestured toward Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost, and pulled out the guardian sword Hofund. He handed it to Heimdall and ordered, "Take them to be healed. Now."
Heimdall obeyed without hesitation, escorting Sif and the wounded warriors away. Only Odin and Thor remained on the bridge, tension crackling between them.
Thor, his pride unshaken, raised his head defiantly. "If we are too afraid to act, this kingdom will perish! Frost Giants must learn to fear me as they once feared you!"
Odin's voice turned cold. "That isn't leadership, Thor. It's arrogance and pride. You've forgotten everything I taught you—the patience of a true warrior."
Thor scoffed, shaking his head impatiently. "While you sit back and wait, the Nine Realms laugh at us! The old ways are dead. Asgard is weak, and you refuse to act."
Loki stood off to the side, watching silently as father and son clashed.
Odin's composure finally broke, his voice rising with anger. "You are a vain, greedy, and cruel child!"
Thor's response was immediate, cutting, and defiant. "And you are a foolish old man!"
The words hit Odin like a hammer blow. For a moment, he looked at Thor in disbelief, the weight of his disappointment etched deeply into his face.
Finally, Odin lowered his head, his voice heavy with sadness. "Yes. I was foolish—foolish to believe you were ready."
Loki seized the opportunity, stepping forward with an air of feigned concern. "Father—"
But Odin cut him off with a pointed gesture. He took a deep breath, then turned back to Thor, his voice measured but resolute.
"Thor Odinson," he began, "you have disobeyed the kingdom's laws. Because of your arrogance and recklessness, a peaceful realm and countless innocent lives now face the horrors of war."
Odin's voice trembled, the tension clear as his fury reached its peak. His eternal spear, Gungnir, struck the ground with a resounding crash, unleashing flashes of thunder that illuminated the hall.
Behind Thor, the Rainbow Bridge portal roared to life, its swirling energy lighting up the scene.
Descending the steps with a heavy presence, Odin approached Thor, his anger evident in every step. His voice, cold and commanding, thundered: "Then you are unworthy of your kingdom. You are unworthy of your title."
Without hesitation, Odin reached out and tore Thor's red cloak from his shoulders.
Meeting his son's eyes, he continued, his voice trembling with suppressed pain. "The people you betrayed... they loved you."
The weight of Odin's words silenced Thor. His mouth opened slightly as if to respond, but no words came. His hesitation betrayed the turmoil in his heart—was it guilt? Regret? He could not say.
Odin stepped back, his expression unyielding. After a moment, he turned to face Thor fully again, his voice now filled with divine authority. "Now, I take back your power."
With those words, Thor's hammer, Mjolnir, was summoned by an invisible force, flying out of his hand and into Odin's grasp.
Odin held Mjolnir aloft, continuing his decree. "In the name of my father and his father before him, I, Odin All-Father, banish you."
As he spoke, Thor's armor began to disintegrate, the golden scales peeling away from his body as though rejecting him. Finally, Odin pointed Mjolnir at Thor, unleashing a burst of brilliant golden light.
The divine energy struck Thor like a hammer blow, shattering what remained of his armor and sending him hurtling into the Rainbow Bridge portal. In an instant, Thor was gone.
Loki, standing nearby, looked on in stunned silence. His disbelief was plain, his steps hesitant as he approached the now-quiet portal. His eyes were wide with shock, unable to comprehend what had just unfolded.
Odin, holding Mjolnir firmly, raised it to his lips and whispered, "Whosoever holds this hammer, if they be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor."
As his words echoed through the chamber, mystical runes and patterns began to glow along the surface of the hammer, sealing the enchantment. With a final motion, Odin hurled Mjolnir into the portal, where it vanished into the swirling energy, following Thor.
"Father!" Loki's voice finally broke through the silence, filled with alarm and uncertainty.
"This is the burden he must bear," Odin responded firmly. His expression betrayed no softness, only the weight of a decision that pained him deeply.
Without another word, Odin retrieved Gungnir, his steps deliberate as he turned and left the hall. Loki remained behind, his face shadowed by a swirl of emotions—shock, intrigue, and perhaps something more.
He watched the portal fade, his thoughts a mystery even to himself.
