Odin's voice rang out first from within the grand palace of Asgard.

Inside the solemn and magnificent palace, Odin and Thor stood face to face, engaging in a heart-to-heart communication and exchange.

"The nine kingdoms have come together, and everyone has witnessed you saving them with your life! How will Asgard repay its new king?"

Odin, standing on his supreme throne, spoke to Thor with undisguised approval in his voice.

"My life!" Thor answered after a moment of contemplation. "Father, I cannot be king! I will dedicate my life to protecting the nine kingdoms, but I cannot sit on the throne."

"Loki may have made mistakes, but he understands some principles that I will never learn."

"The cruelty and sacrifice that come with the throne can change a person. I would rather be a good person than a wise ruler."

When Odin acknowledged Thor's right to be king, Thor said something that surprised everyone.

This includes Odin at the time, and also everyone watching on screen.

“Thor, you’ve grown a lot!” Black Widow couldn’t help but glance at Thor and say, “You’d rather be a good person than a wise ruler, is that really you?”

Others at the scene shared the same sentiment.

Thor back then looked so much more mature than he does now.

The current Thor is a sharp-tongued and reckless second-generation immortal, but the Thor on the screen at this moment is radiant and mature. Although they have the exact same face, they are two completely different people.

"Is this my son's wish, or the wish of the woman he loves?"

On the screen, Odin glanced at Thor below with his one eye and couldn't help but ask.

"I never felt that it was the Empress Dowager who influenced your decisions."

Thor replied, “It’s not for Jane, Father. She doesn’t know what I’m going to say. Whether I’m forbidden to see her or I agree to let her rule with me makes no difference.”

“One son is too demanding of the throne, while the other wouldn’t even accept it if it were handed to him.” Odin slowly sat down, feeling a pang of sadness.

Neither of these two brats is easy to deal with.

"Is this the gift I leave to posterity?" Odin asked himself.

“Loki died a glorious death! I will do my best too, isn’t that enough?” Thor said from the bottom of his heart.

At this point, Thor picked up his hammer, making a gesture as if he wanted to return it.

"As long as you are eligible, it will always be yours."

Odin, however, said that even if Thor did not intend to inherit the throne, he would not take away Thor's hammer.

"I will do my best!" Thor said solemnly.

"I will not give you my blessing, nor will I wish you good luck." Seeing that Thor was determined, Odin had no choice but to agree.

What else could he do?

"I know!" Thor said, then turned and left.

“Even though I am proud of my son’s character now,” Odin’s voice drifted from behind, “I cannot say it aloud, but I will approve of you in my heart.”

"Go, my son!"

"Thank you, Father!"

Thor smiled and turned to leave.

His figure gradually disappeared into the main hall.

But at that moment, Odin, who was sitting on the supreme throne, flashed a light, revealing his true form.

"Loki!"

"It's Loki!"

Everyone watching on the screen gasped in surprise; it turned out that Odin was actually Loki in disguise.

So the question is, where is Odin?

Did Loki kill him?

Chapter 205 Doctor Strange Almost Gets Beaten to Death

The image on the big screen froze on Loki's triumphant smile, but everyone watching couldn't calm down for a long time.

They were even completely bewildered and confused.

Loki faking his death to plot for the throne was, in everyone's eyes, the most impossible thing to do, since it seemed so illogical from every angle.

But no one could have imagined that the answer to this question would be the option that seemed the least likely to be answered.

What's even more infuriating is...

Loki not only did it, but he actually succeeded.

That's an exaggeration.

"This is truly unexpected! Odin was actually Loki in disguise!"

Tony Stark couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "Loki not only faked his death to seize the throne, but he succeeded! He actually succeeded!"

This was something that no one present had anticipated at all.

"That's the problem. Loki actually succeeded." Captain America looked equally incredulous. "What about Odin? If Loki impersonated Odin and became the King of Asgard, then where is Odin? Where did he go?"

Yes, where did Odin go?

This is a question that everyone watching on screen wants to understand.

This is a question that everyone is struggling to understand.

Given Odin's power, no matter what tricks Loki tried, they were doomed to fail.

How could such a thing happen?

Loki shouldn't have been able to succeed in killing Odin, imprisoning Odin, or doing anything else that would make Odin disappear from Asgard.

After all, that's Odin.

"Could it be... that everything Loki did was with Odin's tacit approval?" Strange asked timidly from the side.

He didn't know much about Odin's family, so he proposed a possible hypothesis from his own perspective.

“No way.” Thor shook his head firmly. “My father is the ruler of the Nine Realms. His position on the throne concerns the entire Nine Realms. My father would not do such a thing.”

Everyone thought it was unlikely.

However, after discussing it for a long time, the people present still couldn't come to a conclusion about Loki actually ascending the throne.

It still feels so unbelievable.

"It seems we all underestimated Loki."

Black Widow finally shrugged and sighed to everyone.

People have subconsciously underestimated Loki all along, after all, Loki's strength is indeed not that great, and his illusion magic is not that scary as long as you are on guard.

Loki's tricks, cunning, and so on are the same.

Those who know Loki, especially the respondents, will not be easily fooled.

It's understandable that people look down on it.

However, it now seems that Black Widow was right; everyone had indeed underestimated Loki.

Loki, as an Asgardian prisoner, actually managed to ascend the throne after a series of schemes, which is already an incredible feat.

This is something that ordinary people simply cannot do.

“Yes, it seems we need to re-evaluate our view of Loki.” Captain America nodded emphatically in agreement.

As for how to avoid such a thing, everyone on the scene discussed it for a while, and apart from having Thor keep a close eye on Loki after returning to Asgard, there was no other good way.

Even now, everyone still doesn't know how Loki managed to do that.

Naturally, there was no way to deal with it.

We can only resort to brute force prevention.

[Friendly reminder: Those who answer correctly will receive a Blood Bodhi as a reward;]

Amid the murmurs of the crowd, the system notification sounded again, and the corresponding text on the big screen began to disappear, while a new text replaced it.

A new question appears.

This question, however, is about Doctor Strange.

However, this question seems somewhat "unfamiliar" to everyone.

Kaecilius, Christine, the Ancient One, Baron Mordo, Dr. Nick Fury...

The names appearing in the question stem and options were completely unfamiliar to everyone, and no one even knew about the London Temple.

Upon closer inspection, only Doctor Strange in option C is someone everyone knows who is. Apart from that, everyone is completely clueless about this question.

"Christine?"

Strange stared at the big screen and exclaimed in surprise.

Clearly, he knew who this Christine Palmer was.

"Dr. Strange, do you know who this person is?" Captain America couldn't help but turn his head first and stare at Strange to ask.

“She’s my colleague at the hospital,” Strange replied, pausing slightly before adding, “or rather, the one I told you about before, the one with whom I have a somewhat ambiguous relationship.”

"Is it just a simple, ambiguous relationship?"
