Chapter 179 Loki's Compensation for the Trouble

"I told you before, about celestial convergence."

Thor walked at the front, leading the way and speaking at a much faster pace than usual.

"The boundaries of the Nine Realms will overlap at specific points in time, causing spacetime rifts to appear in various places."

The entire Nine Realms have been in turmoil lately. I've been traveling around dealing with those who took advantage of the chaos during this period of reunion.

As he said this, his eyes kept glancing at Jane beside him.

On the surface, he was explaining the situation to Li En, but in reality, he was trying to find a way to get his girlfriend's forgiveness.

After all, before he left Midgard last time, he said he would be back soon, but after leaving, he completely lost contact with him.

However, Jane was in no mood to listen to his explanation at the moment.

Her mind was filled with the mysterious energy within her body, and she only glanced at the strange sights around her. Her eyes showed little surprise, but rather unease.

Soon, Thor led the two through the corridors of Asgard and into the audience hall deep within the castle.

Seated on the throne was his father, Odin, the king of the gods.

Thor didn't even give a formal introduction, he just nodded hastily in the direction of the throne, then pulled Jane away from the hall and headed straight for the treatment room.

The hall fell silent, leaving only the old man on the throne and Li En standing below the steps.

Li En raised his head, smiled, and greeted the one-eyed, white-haired old man: "Hello, King Odin, I am a representative of the Earth Alliance."

A faint golden light flashed in Odin's single eye.

His gaze fell on Li En and stopped.

For some reason, this young man from Earth always made him feel a kind of inexplicable wariness.

It was like catching a glimpse of an unwanted shadow on a calm lake.

He was certainly aware of the situation on Earth.

After Thor and Li En became friends, he observed them from a distance several times.

The assessment at the time was simple—this person posed no threat to Asgard.

What truly troubled him was the Sorcerer Supreme, not the New York police officer in front of him.

But how long has it been?

Standing at the bottom of the steps, Li En suddenly felt a sense of unease, as if he were sitting on pins and needles.

However, no matter how he investigated, the other party's energy level seemed to be even lower than Thor's.

Extremely contradictory.

Odin opened his mouth slightly, his voice quite amiable, with the air of a god-king: "Welcome, guest from Earth. Also, thank you for not killing Loki outright."

Lee replied with a smile: "Although he caused considerable damage to our planet—the number of our fellow planetary inhabitants who died or were injured is close to five figures, not to mention the damage to buildings and infrastructure."

Hundreds of thousands more are temporarily living in tents because their homes have been destroyed.

But he is, after all, the brother of my ally Thor, and a prince of Asgard.

Odin's brow twitched almost imperceptibly.

These words were spoken with a hidden barb.

First, he laid out the list of losses one by one, and then, in a swift change of tone, he skillfully cultivated a good relationship with her.

He thought this sophisticated political rhetoric could only be heard from old folks who had lived for thousands of years.

He smiled as he rose from his throne, walked down the steps, and stood before Li En, looking him straight in the eye: "Asgard will certainly compensate for the damages caused by Loki. Please follow me."

Odin turned and walked toward the treasury, saying as he went, "My treasury contains countless treasures accumulated over the years in the Nine Realms."

I believe there's a lot inside that will give you a satisfactory explanation.

"And recently, isn't your Earth Alliance planning to venture into space?" He turned his head slightly, a faint smile on his lips.

"That's right." Li En didn't try to hide anything on the topic and readily admitted it.

"The universe is so vast, and there are threats outside that could easily wipe out an entire planet, so we must go out into the world."

There's a saying in our area: "Don't put all your eggs in one basket."

He knew perfectly well that with Odin's abilities, it would be far too easy for him to find out what was happening on Earth.

But for this god-king, those things were simply not worth caring about.

Perhaps in Odin's eyes, his "alliance" with Thor is the only bargaining chip worth taking a second look at.

Otherwise, if Loki leads the Chitauri army to invade Earth, would Odin, as the ruler of the Nine Realms, really be unable to stop him?

What a joke.

Even if Odin himself doesn't intervene, his wife Frigga is absolutely capable of holding Loki down.

To put it bluntly, on these people's chessboard, Earth has never been as important as "letting their son grow up."

If it weren't for Li En leading everyone to decisively drive the Chitauri army back this time...

Whether the God-King still recognizes that so-called ancient covenant is probably a question.

Odin read Li En's thoughts from his eyes.

He wasn't angry; instead, he showed a hint of approval and said with some emotion, "That's just how the Earth is. Every now and then, a few remarkable people emerge."

This is not just a polite remark.

The reason the Nine Realms were able to establish an alliance was because there had once been a being on Earth that was worthy of the respect of other worlds.

Their lifespan is indeed much shorter than that of the Asgardians, but the frequency of outstanding individuals emerging is astonishingly high.

Looking at Asgard, Thor is still acting all flustered; he's genuinely worried.

The doors to the treasure vault were pushed open.

Odin stood at the door and pointed inside: "These are all my carefully collected treasures from over the years. Any one of them would be considered a top treasure in the universe."

"You may choose any one of the mistakes Loki made this time as compensation for Asgard."

Li En stood at the doorway, his gaze sweeping roughly over the entire treasure vault.

There was a blue square box placed against the wall.

That was the Ice Box, the treasure of the Frost Giants, capable of unleashing limitless power of extreme cold, instantly plunging the entire planet into an ice age.

On the display stand next to it lay a cluster of flickering flames, the crown of Surtur and the eternal flame—the inextinguishable flame of Muspelheim's origin.

One ice, one fire—two absolute treasures from the Nine Realms.

Further inside, the Eye of the Sorcerer, the Stele of Life and Time, the Privaldi Pillar, the Tuning Fork—each item radiates an energy fluctuation that cannot be ignored.

In the corner, the Destroyer Armor stood quietly, like an iron coffin waiting to be reawakened.

There are indeed many good products, but there are also many fakes.
