Lord of Cinder in American Comics

Odin looked at the two men before him, his heart filled with satisfaction. But he maintained his stern expression and sat back down on his throne.

Odin looked at the murals on the ceiling of the palace, which depicted Odin's conquest of the Nine Realms.

Suddenly, Odin said, "The fallen reputation of Asgard must be reclaimed by your own hands!"

Hearing this, Thor was overjoyed and said, "As you wish, Father!"

"Go... I hope you don't end up like her..."

Odin's voice was so faint that only Frigga, who was standing next to him, heard the second half of his sentence.

Frigga held Odin's hand, and the two watched as Thor and Sif walked out of the hall.

Those greedy individuals who had some foresight about Loki's actions were approached by Sif early on.

After hearing Sif's request, the Greedy One gave Sif a Transformation Ring.

After surveying the entirety of Asgard, the Greedy One indeed found no trace of Loki.

"As expected, Loki made his move. But he couldn't possibly be unaware that I possess the Ring of Transformation. Asgard is destined to become a laughing stock this time."

Loki, oh Loki, will you suddenly appear at the upcoming wedding and set everything back to normal? Or will you deliver an even greater blow to Asgard?

Chapter 455: The Dark Past of Asgard

Where exactly is Loki hiding to avoid being seen by everyone?

True to Loki's audacity, there's a saying on Earth that encapsulates his thinking: the most dangerous place is the safest place.

In the original cinematic universe, Loki dared to be captured alone on a space carrier, infiltrating enemy territory to gather intelligence and create chaos.

Loki became even bolder in Asgard, his own territory!

Where is the easiest place to be found in all of Asgard?

Or rather, where is the most dangerous place in all of Asgard?

Loki is right there right now!

Beside Odin? Loki wasn't that foolish. Even with the Time Stone at his disposal, he wasn't confident he could deceive Odin's senses.

So where is the second most dangerous place in all of Asgard? Loki is right there right now!

The Rainbow Bridge control room, Heimdall's territory.

Heimdall is the guardian of Asgard, protecting the Rainbow Bridge. To ensure Heimdall is worthy of this responsibility, Odin bestowed upon him the finest eyes.

Heimdall never rests or tires, he is always watching over everything in the Nine Realms, and he can hear all those who call upon him, which is why the Rainbow Bridge appears every time he is summoned.

Loki is now leaning against the steps, with drinks, food and fruit laid out beside him, waiting for the royal decree to arrive.

However, Heimdall is not here right now; he is busy preparing for his sister's wedding.

Despite losing Heimdall's protection of the Rainbow Bridge, there is no danger. The Rainbow Bridge can only be activated in two ways: either with Odin's spear of eternity or with Heimdall's weapon, Bult Steel.

Heimdall carried the Bourdon steel with him, and the Rainbow Bridge, having lost its key, was not in any danger.

This place, located in the farthest part of Asgard, became Loki's hideout.

Loki was somewhat surprised to hear the cheers coming from afar.

The wedding can actually go on? Loki could hardly believe it.

Shouldn't he be banished, then the fool Thor reverts to his true form and ascends the throne? Why isn't this what he expected?

Is there anyone who can crack the Reality Stone's abilities?

Loki immediately conjured a clone of himself, preparing to head to the wedding venue.

--------

The wedding of the Asgardian heir left everyone speechless.

The original Prince Thor has now become Toria. She is dressed in a wedding gown, with her Mjolnir hanging from her waist as an ornament.

Toria showed no embarrassment or discomfort. As was her usual way of celebrating, she waved to the Asgardians from the carriage.

Beside Toria, Sif, who was once one of the most beautiful people in Asgard, now appeared as a man.

Even the greedy one didn't expect that Sif borrowed the Ring of Transformation for her own use.

At this moment, the valiant Sif, along with Toria, basked in everyone's admiration and cheers. This also took away half of the ridicule Tohru was facing.

A wedding featured a man transforming into a woman and a woman transforming into a man, and the two even went through the wedding and became a couple.

This will be a joyous occasion for the entire universe for the next few hundred years.

Even Loki didn't expect that the wedding could continue at this point.

Doesn't Odin object? Isn't Thor the one who listens to his father the most? Originally, the transformation of the Greedy One meant that he either hid in Sif's bedroom all day or had to wear a black robe when he went out, afraid that others would recognize him.

But now, the Toria below is the real Tori, and Sif is also Sif.

Loki's plan fell through, while Asgard continues to be ridiculed.

Loki, standing in the crowd, wouldn't let the escalating mockery continue. He activated the power of the Reality Stone, turning Toria back to her original form.

Thor, dressed in women's clothing, had just discovered the liberation of his chest when he and Sif were instantly transformed into proper clothes by Frigga's magic.

This farce was also treated as a theatrical performance before the Asgardian wedding, since no one would cause trouble at such a solemn moment.

Sensing the instantaneous power of the Reality Stone, the Greedy One sought out Loki.

Standing beside Loki, the Greedy One looked at Thor, who was shouting Loki's name in the distance, and said, "You still gave up? What a great opportunity! Couldn't you have turned Thor into Odin? Two Odins, one calling the other 'Dad,' wouldn't that be interesting?"

Loki glanced at the Greedy Man; he didn't believe the Greedy Man couldn't see what he was thinking.

The greedy man, whose attempt to incite trouble had failed, continued, "Loki, when will you become the King of Asgard? My army is ready. At your command, we will charge in. You hold off Odin, I'll hold off Thor, and the new dynasty will be established today!"

The greedy one rubbed his hands together and pointed to the distant Asgard Palace. Thor and Sif were almost at the entrance of the palace.

"You'd better make a decision quickly! Look at that fool, and look at you! The throne should be yours!"

As if sensing Loki's presence, Thor was craning his neck to look in their direction.

"Thor! Look here!"

The Greedy One waved to Thor and nudged Loki with his elbow, demanding a response.

Loki looked at Thor and said coldly, "Boring. My plan is ready. Just don't mess it up!"

Loki has other plans?

The greedy man thought of Loki from before, a guy who would never give up until he got what he wanted.

Loki's inner world is complex and highly changeable, and like Thor, he is stubborn and inflexible.

In the original cinematic universe, it was Loki's persistent desire to prove himself to Odin that led to Thor's exile and framing.

After learning his true identity, he felt inferior and self-loathing. This led him to become Thanos's henchman and ultimately to his invasion of Earth.

However, none of this can erase Loki's love for Asgard. Even after Odin grew old, he impersonated Odin and became the King of Asgard, diligently maintaining Asgard's rule, at most putting on a few theatrical performances to highlight his presence.

But that was in the original universe; everything has gone astray today.

The greedy one shrugged indifferently. After all, Loki is the third princess of Asgard, and can do whatever he wants in Asgard.

Loki stared at Thor in the distance, watching him walk step by step into the palace of Asgard.

The guards on the steps raised their weapons to welcome the new king. Deep, resonant music filled the air, signaling that the wedding was nearing its end.

The gem in Loki's hand suddenly exploded, accompanied by a commotion in the Asgardian palace.

The greedy watched as people constantly entered and exited the hall, relaying messages to the outside world.

The greedy one looked at Loki and asked curiously, "What exactly did you do?"

"It's just that Asgard's past darkness has been exposed..."

Chapter 456: The Fire Keeper's Friend

In the original Asgardian palace, Thor's wedding was interrupted by gasps of surprise.

When the first person looked up out of boredom, he found that the dome murals that had originally praised Odin's bravery had been replaced by another woman entwined with death.

After he exclaimed, the others followed his gaze and made the same exclamation.

Representatives of major powers, such as the Nova Corps and the Kree, no longer wore their previous congratulatory smiles after seeing the murals.

Any power with a longer historical span knows that Asgard's current prestige belongs to Odin, but also to someone else.

Hela, Odin's eldest daughter, is known as the goddess of death.

She was Odin's first child, helped Odin conquer the Nine Realms, and was once the executioner of Asgard and the wielder of Thor's hammer.

After conquering the Nine Realms, Odin sought to govern with benevolence, but Hela held a different attitude, leading to a rift between father and daughter. Later, Odin sent his Valkyrie army to conquer Hela, but they were almost completely annihilated by her.

The mural depicts the scene of Hela's conquest of the Nine Realms and the universe.

This underscores that Asgard is a kingdom built on blood and fire.

Everyone present was talking about it. Thor looked up at the murals on the dome and then at his father's dark face.

Thor murmured, "Loki once said to my father that he knew about the darkness of Asgard... So it was all true!"

Thor's words made Sif anxious, and she grabbed Thor's hand, fearing that the wedding would turn into a royal feud.

The chaotic noise gradually subsided, and everyone looked at Odin on the throne, waiting for his explanation or action.

The records about Asgard at that time did not record Hela's fate.

Who would have thought that we would encounter Asgard's past here?

"The wedding continues!"

Odin's voice echoed in the hall; he offered no explanation, but simply ordered the ceremony to continue.

The onlookers seemed to have forgotten everything they had just witnessed, continuing to drink and dance as usual.

Through the eyes of others, the greedy also saw the changes taking place in the celestial palace.
