Lord of Cinder in American Comics

No one knows a son better than his mother. Frigga knew what kind of person her son was all along, so when she was making Loki's staff, she took precautions and fixed a tracking spell on it.

Now is the time to use it.

When they found Loki, he was enjoying a meal in the Rainbow Bridge control room.

Upon seeing Frigga's arrival, Loki instinctively tried to avoid her. However, Frigga was calling Loki's name loudly from inside the control room.

"Loki! I know you're here, come out!"

Having no other choice, Loki revealed himself and appeared before Frigga.

However, to Loki's surprise, Frigga slapped him across the face right away.

Chapter 458: Annihilation

"Snap..."

The crisp slap stunned Loki.

Throughout the past thousand years, no matter how terrible the trouble he had caused, Frigga would only offer him kind words of advice. Who would have thought that Frigga would actually become angry?

After being slapped, Loki stood there somewhat bewildered, touching his face and looking at Frigga with a hint of fear.

Frigga said sternly, "Tell me, Loki! Who gave you permission to release Hela? And how did you know the location of Hela's seal?"

Loki stammered, "I...I just want Thor to succeed me. I have no other intentions!"

Frigga didn't want to hear any of that; she just wanted to know if Loki had been misled.

Answer my question!

"Nobody told me to do this. While searching for the Reality Stone in Midgard to fight the Dark Elves, I found Odin's seal. I just wanted to release it and embarrass Odin. That way, Odin would banish me..."

Frigga looked at Loki explaining, then at the handprint on his face. She realized she had gone a bit too far. Frigga gently stroked Loki's face, using magic to ease the pain.

Frigga continued, "Then tell me, Loki. How did you break the seal, and how did you open the Rainbow Bridge...?"

"The power of the Reality Stone is such that anything I can imagine can be accomplished with its help. Odin's seal is nothing more than a thin veil before the power of the gems."

I used the gems to simulate the Eternal Spear that I had mastered before, and used the Eternal Spear to open the Rainbow Bridge…”

As he spoke, Loki activated the power of the Reality Stone, and the red Reality Stone instantly transformed into the Spear of Eternity.

Frigga didn't know what to say about her child; he was incredibly brave, but his talent was equally remarkable.

Frigga solemnly said to Loki, "Go to Asgard immediately and help Odin hold off Hela!"

After saying that, Frigga looked at Loki, who remained motionless, and couldn't help but emphasize her words.

"Go quickly!"

Loki strode quickly toward Asgard.

Beneath the celestial palace, Hela is enacting a scene of paternal love, filial piety, brotherly respect, and sisterly reverence.

He kicked Thor away as he lunged forward, parried Odin's Eternal Spear, and then unleashed several longsword projectiles at Odin, forcing Odin to distance himself from him.

Looking at Thor getting up from the ground, Hela shook her head in disappointment and said, "It seems you didn't teach him anything useful at all. What kind of god is he? A hammer god? Without his hammer, he can only use his teeth like a barbarian?"

Thor, undeterred, declared, "I am Thor! Thor, the God of Thunder of Asgard!"

"Oh~"

Hela replied coldly, then casually threw her longsword, sending Thor, who had just stood up, flying.

Hela looked at Odin and said in the calmest tone, "You know you can't stop me. I am the embodiment of Asgardian power. As long as Asgard exists, I possess infinite power. This was your plan... Father!"

Odin remained silent. For him, it was indeed impossible to seal Hela away again, and he could only place his hopes on his child.

Once Thor unlocks his own power, and Loki also possesses the Reality Stone, the two of them can definitely stop Hela.

Odin taught Thor while fighting Hela.

"Thor! The hammer is your weapon; the true power resides within you. Remember the day you received your blessing, remember your true power!"

Unfortunately, Odin is not Zhang Sanfeng, Thor is not the leader of a demonic sect, and they don't have the Great Shift of the Universe to help them learn.

Odin was forced to retreat step by step, and every time Thor charged forward, Hela would casually knock him away.

Hela's weapon clashed repeatedly with the Spear of Eternity. Hela's sword pressed down on Odin, forcing him to wield the Spear of Eternity with both hands to resist the sword that was gradually approaching him.

Just as they were locked in a stalemate, a whooshing sound suddenly came from behind Hela, and another Eternal Spear was attacking her.

Forced to abandon Odin in front of her, Hela turned around and blocked the attack from behind.

Loki's figure flashed past Hela, the power of the Reality Stone preventing her from finding his location.

Seeing the same Spear of Eternity and Loki, Hela scoffed and said, "Interesting. The frost giants of Jotunheim are actually helping Odin?"

Hela turned to Odin and said, "Looks like you're getting old; you've learned to win over allies!"

Loki emerged from the void and launched another sneak attack on Hela, but Hela blocked it.

After Loki transformed the Spear of Eternity into the Reality Stone, he said to Hela, "I am not an ally. I am the second in line to Asgard. If it weren't for those fools over there, I would have become the God-King of Asgard!"

Hela was taken aback by these words. Looking at the Reality Stone in Loki's hand, she asked, "Did you release me? And are you Odin's child?"

Hela turned to Odin and asked, "You cheated on me?"

"Ahem, I was adopted..."

Hela shook her head, somewhat confused, and said, "It doesn't matter anymore, you're all going to die here anyway!"

Loki projected energy at Hela with the Reality Stone, saying, "That's not necessarily true, Thor!"

Hela was trying to dodge Loki's energy projection, but Thor, who was just passing by, appeared behind her and firmly restrained her.

Although Hela knocked Thor away, she was still attacked by the gem's energy and was blasted aside, shattering several walls.

Loki didn't stop, continuously casting spells in Hela's direction, blasting all sorts of energy into the smoke as if it were free.

The series of spells and the use of the Reality Stone left Loki feeling exhausted.

Seeing the smoke and dust settle, Loki breathed a sigh of relief and said casually, "Don't worry, it's alright. I can release her, and I can take care of her. The power of the Reality Stone is something she can't withstand."

However, Odin remained focused on the smoke and dust, not daring to relax for a moment. He gave Loki a deep look and handed him his weapon.

Loki, holding the weapon, seemed a little lost. Passing on a weapon at this moment was somewhat like a will.

"Loki, remember to use the Reality Stone to erase our existence. And remember, seize the opportunity..."

Before Loki could react, Odin summoned his eight-legged steed, mounted it, and charged into the dust cloud.

The hurricane stirred up by the eight-legged warhorse dispersed the smoke and dust, revealing Hela within the smoke and dust.

At this moment, Hela was surrounded by a barrier of countless weapons, which blocked Loki's attack.

However, the energy projections still caused some damage to Hela. Looking through the holes created by the melting weapons, Hela could be seen panting heavily.

The hooves of the eight-legged warhorse trampled on Hela's weapon barrier, instantly shattering it.

Odin reached out to grab Hela, but Hela countered with her sword, piercing Odin's hand.

But Odin showed no intention of dodging. He endured the pain and pushed forward again, grabbing Hela's hand with her weapon with his pierced palm.

"Now! Loki! Make your move!"

Unable to move, Hela looked at Loki. She understood that the Reality Stone could indeed erase her connection to Odin, since her power originated from Odin and Asgard. But with Odin's death as a constraint, she too would be erased.

Loki understood that now was not the time to hesitate; Odin's actions were creating an opportunity for him.

Fighting back tears, Loki, amidst Thor's pleas, directed the power of the Reality Stone toward Odin and Hela.

Instantly, a red light flew towards the two of them, engulfing them.

Chapter 459: The Eternal Flame

Do not!

!

!

Thor's lament was a mourning for Odin. Loki stood there forlornly.

The Reality Stone erased their existence; under such power, no one could survive.

Loki reached Thor and tried to help him up, but Thor slapped him away.

"Why? Loki! Why!"

Thor questioned Loki, saying he could not bear Odin's death.

Loki was grabbed by the collar and lifted up by Thor, and he didn't bother to explain himself.

Hela was released by Loki, and Odin died from the power of the Reality Stone. Although Odin made a sacrifice, Loki was ultimately responsible for all of this.

Loki was enduring Thor's wrath, and he was ready to offer his face to Thor's slap.

A still-breathing body was thrown at the feet of the two brothers; it was Odin.

Next to be thrown over was Odin's eight-legged warhorse, but it wasn't so lucky. It had been mostly melted by the power of the Reality Stone, leaving only half of its body.

Hela stood up from where she had been, her left hand wearing a golden glove.

At this moment, the golden gloves were like scorching metal, and the reddened gloves were removed by Hela and thrown at her feet.

"The Reality Stone? It's not bad, but the person using it isn't very good. Even the fake one made by Odin could block its power..."

The instant Loki unleashed his power, Hela picked up the Infinity Gauntlet, crafted by Odin, from the ground. She used the Infinity Gauntlet to block the Reality Stone.

The power of the gems varies from person to person. Even the invincible Thanos, after gathering the power of the three gems, could have his attacks neutralized by Doctor Strange's Hoggus spell.

Hela looked at Loki and Thor, and began throwing her longsword again.

Loki shoved the Spear of Eternity into Thor's arms and shouted, "Thor, stop her!"

Instead of helping Odin up from the ground, Loki immediately used the power of the Reality Stone to begin repairing his body.

All falsehoods will become reality, so turning an existing reality into an illusion is also a use of the Reality Gem; all you need to do is assume the wound doesn't exist.
