Marvel: Starting with the Glint-Glint Fruit

So Loki can't see it, not to mention Heimdall, he certainly can't see it either.

However, Loki had a vague feeling that Laufey's fate might not be good.

This is somewhat unbelievable. No matter how much Loki treats Laufey like a monkey to be played with or used as a tool, he still acknowledges Laufey's abilities.

A monster capable of rivaling Odin at its peak—its prestige speaks for itself.

However, Terra and his group are a bit too abnormal, so abnormal that they are beyond Loki's comprehension. The combat power of these mere humans has reached such a level.

Even if Loki didn't want to admit it, he had to accept this cruel fact.

That means any one of those Terran warriors could be stronger than him, and many of them might even surpass Thor.

Laufey is indeed the Father, but if there are too many ants, even an elephant might be eaten alive.

What's more, the Terran Emperor hasn't even appeared yet.

Loki would never believe that the Terran Emperor was even slightly stronger than these warriors. In this most basic logic, the ruler of such a high-dimensional realm must be overwhelmingly powerful.

In this powerful nation, Loki found himself seemingly having offended them.

What can he do then?

Will the other party be unable to find out that it was you who was behind this?

It's highly unlikely.

After much deliberation, Loki decided that it was best for him to stay in Asgard, and he was determined never to go to Earth in his lifetime.

As for Thor?

Whether he lives or dies is no longer his concern; he has no more cards to play to go back to Earth and kill Thor.

However, while Loki was in a panic, he was completely unaware that two people were standing in a corner of the hall not far away.

With a hint of helplessness in his eyes, Odin said to his gentle, beautiful, and generous wife Frigga, "Loki still hasn't figured out one thing."

"In this universe, no scheme or calculation can ever compare to one's own strength."

As he spoke, there was a hint of a sigh in his voice.

It's clear that he's a bit disappointed in his son.

These two brothers have serious problems. Thor is a little better off; he can sense that the spell he set has been triggered. Clearly, Thor has realized his good intentions and has reflected on his actions.

But Loki is going to have a more complicated situation.

“Loki is a smart kid, but the smarter a person is, the more self-righteous they become. It will take some time to correct his thinking, Odin,” Frigga said gently, placing her hand on Odin’s shoulder to comfort him.

Although Loki was not her biological son, she still regarded him as her own flesh and blood.

She never treated Loki differently; instead, she gave him all her love.

This also led to Loki having many grievances and disagreements with Odin, but showing her the utmost respect.

Frigga was relieved by this, because it confirmed to her that Loki was not a truly cold-hearted person; on the contrary, he cared deeply about family.

Loki just needs guidance.

“Now I have time to wait, and I believe he will get better.” Odin never doubted this.

His patience and love for Loki were no less than Thor's.

What Loki has to go through and what he needs to change is perhaps even more complex than what Thor has to go through.

If Loki makes a single wrong move, there will be virtually no chance of redemption.

According to the original timeline, Odin once saw Loki's end and his transformation. However, now that the timeline has changed, he is unsure whether Loki will remain the same as in the future.

"You've had contact with that Terran Emperor from the Midgard Empire?"

Frigga then suddenly asked about something else.

Odin raised an eyebrow slightly, then turned to look at his wife, who appeared gentle and generous but whose beautiful eyes held a chilling coldness. Odin suddenly felt a little flustered.

The couple wasn't always respectful to each other; they had their share of arguments.

He could hear a hint of anger in his wife's voice.

"Yes~" Odin's throat was a little dry.

Frigga smiled gently, smoothing out the wrinkles in Odin's clothes with both hands, and asked seemingly casually, "Is it because of Hela?"

"Yes." Odin at this moment lacked the majesty of the king of the gods, and only felt the unease of a husband who had done something wrong behind his wife's back.

"You want her to become queen?"

Frigga pointed out the key issue.

Hela is Odin's eldest daughter, but not his daughter.

This happened before Odin married her; otherwise, Frigga would never have allowed Hela, who held the title of eldest daughter, to cause trouble in Asgard.

She is gentle and generous, but in some ways, she is a mother.

She has to fight for Thor and Loki's rightful rights.

Frigga didn't care that Odin changed his mind and released Hela ahead of time, but she absolutely wouldn't allow Hela to compete with Thor and Loki for the throne.

“No, she will not become the queen of Asgard. She is neither qualified nor aware of it,” Odin said firmly under his wife’s questioning.

Odin can release Hela ahead of time because of the bond between father and daughter.

But she will definitely not be chosen for the throne; that's for sure.

Of course, Odin is well aware that Hela is not qualified at the moment, but that doesn't mean she will be in the future.

If Hela could change her perception and mindset like Thor, she too could become a queen, except that by then Thor would probably already be a queen.

Frigga was finally satisfied and put her hand down.

Seeing Frigga return to her gentle and generous demeanor, Odin couldn't help but smile helplessly to himself.

As if sensing something, a flash of lightning appeared in his single eye, and through endless space and time, he saw the scene he had been waiting for happening in the direction of Earth.

"The rest is up to those two brothers; I just don't know what they'll do."

"Thor is coming back?"

"Well, you don't need to get involved if they start fighting. I want to see how Thor handles it."

Frigga nodded silently, knowing full well that ultimately the two brothers had to face this on their own.

As Odin finished speaking, his and Frigga's figures rippled across their bodies with a golden light, and they vanished from the Asgardian palace.

Loki, however, did not react at all.

Because Loki's entire focus was on Earth, when he saw the hammer soaring in the sky, his expression turned extremely grim.

Chapter 395 Terra, the object of much envy and jealousy (Seeking monthly votes)

A grand celebration is taking place in the capital city of Novig.

The streets were bustling with people, watching as clean energy transport vehicles carried the corpses of frost giants on their cargo beds.

Everyone was able to see these ugly, towering monsters up close.

These bodies will be transported to the laboratory base in Novig, where they will become new experimental consumables.

After all, this race is an extraordinary race, a race that transcends human civilization. Its underlying genes, flesh and blood, body structure and so on have high research value.

In fact, when other countries saw this scene through the footage, not to mention scientists, those in power, and high-ranking officials, they couldn't help but drool.

I felt waves of envy, jealousy, and resentment.

They all knew how valuable these powerful extraterrestrial life forms were for research.

If we can decipher the genes and structure of these organisms, we will surely be able to develop many valuable things from them.

If it were a small country, they would not hesitate to use any means to take it into their hands.

The only difference is that this country is called Terra.

They have the desire but not the courage.

The United States, in particular, is extremely envious and jealous, as Manhattan suffered a severe economic blow as a result of the earlier Manhattan demon invasion incident.

Although not many people died, they paid such a high price for reconstruction, yet they didn't even get a hair on the devil's head.

They were all taken away by Reicher and the other Astartes and raven warriors.

Needless to say, the Hell Frontier occupies an entire pocket dimension and contains countless demon corpses, all of which represent immense wealth.

Without a doubt, the gap between the United States and the Terran Empire will only widen.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had cautiously submitted an application to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Terra, hoping to achieve in-depth cooperation through bilateral trade and to obtain the authority to study those demons.

Unfortunately, the Terran Ministry of Foreign Affairs rejected them after giving them a look that seemed to say, "Are you kidding me?"

The situation is the same now. The frost giants can control ice magic, and the treasure in the hands of the leader giant has been stolen, which is heartbreaking for the American high-ranking officials.

If you don't have something that others have, then you're at a loss.

This mindset almost made these high-ranking officials have some ulterior motives, but when they saw the imposing Astartes warriors in power armor guarding the transport vehicles...

Their eyes immediately cleared up again.

Forget it, forget it. These people are not worth messing with. It's not worth it. Besides, their super soldier program is going very smoothly.

If they can complete the reverse engineering, they can also create many powerful warriors.

Terran's talents don't care how much outsiders envy, are jealous, or hate them.

They were on a bustling street, watching up close the majestic Astartes warriors and the dead frost giants with great excitement.

"What a disgusting smell! Do these guys never shower?"

"Come on, buddy, do you expect a bunch of barbaric and backward guys to know what taking a bath is? Look at them, they basically have no clothes other than pants, not even armor."

"That's right, the weapons are all made of ice."

"Um, it seems a bit wrong to use our own way of thinking to understand the lifestyle of an alien civilization, doesn't it?"

"It doesn't matter, but these guys are really cold. I bet if it were hot, they would be like living air conditioners."

"Haha, we don't need that here. Novigne has an ecological regulation system, so even the scorching sun won't make us feel hot."

People took photos and discussed the topic with their phones, but many covered their noses and looked disgusted.

This is entirely because the people of Terra now have far superior physical fitness and sensory abilities compared to ordinary people.

The same applies to the sense of smell.

Although the Super Soldier Gene Serum Warrior type cannot be made available to all Terrans, there is a diluted civilian version. Registered Terrans will receive free injections of this civilian serum.

Therefore, if any young man in his early twenties from Terra were to pursue a career in sports, they would all be as physically gifted as Jordan, James, or Ronaldo.

Many young people are now considering whether to go abroad for a few years, and earn some money from those championships.

These are all things to be discussed later.

This victory at the gates of the Terra Empire has brought joy and excitement, but it has also sparked discussion about a certain issue.

That is, these alien civilizations seem to be not very intelligent.

The demons are like this, and so are these frost giants.

Logically speaking, such an advanced civilization should have far more advanced technology. How come it seems that compared to humans, this civilization is just like the cavemen?

Is this all advanced civilization has to offer?

"Perhaps these are just a few special cases, but don't underestimate those advanced civilizations. We are not strong enough yet, and we must not be arrogant or complacent."

"That's right, we are still moving forward. Under the leadership of the great emperor, humanity is also advancing into a higher civilization."

"No one will forget these things, but why would they suddenly want to invade us?"

"Yeah, these idiots even pinpointed the exact location outside Novigler; are they targeting us?"

"I'm not sure, let's see what the government says next."

People racked their brains trying to figure out what these frost giants were thinking.
