Chapter 63 - Chapter 63: Loki’s Gambit

Gungnir, the eternal spear, the weapon of the god king Odin, was a cosmic treasure with mighty power.

When Odin was asleep, in Asgard, one could tap into Odin's authority and gain a share of Odin's strength, which was a defense plan for Odin to block enemy attacks while he rested. Only his wife Frigga could hand Gungnir to others to wield, but this time because Thor was banished by Odin, Frigga gave Gungnir to her youngest son Loki, which instead sparked the chaos in Asgard this time.

Luckily, Gungnir could only wield the God-King's authority in Asgard, otherwise if Loki took Gungnir to Earth, it would be tough to know whether Sebastian could beat Loki.

The golden thunder crashed, and at first only a small chunk of the palace fell. This time, it fully crumbled under the blast of the golden thunder.

But at this moment, a figure burst out from under the ruined palace. It was Thor holding Mjölnir.

At this time, Thor swung Mjölnir and charged at Loki again, but at this moment, Loki lifted Gungnir in his hand and fired a golden ray straight at Thor again, so that Thor could only swing Mjölnir to block Loki's attack, keeping him from getting closer.

Loki stared at Thor who was held back by him, and suddenly he felt a thrill in body and mind. The bitterness that had been buried by Thor for so long finally found a release.

But just as Loki was working to crush Thor's pride, the space behind him suddenly warped and swirled like a potion bubble. Sebastian stepped out of the swirl, aimed the magic wand in his hand at Loki, and a scarlet light shot out with a Stupefy .

Sebastian knew very well that he couldn't kill Loki. Otherwise, forget about earning Asgard's trust, it would be lucky not to gain enemies and be chased down. As an enemy, Loki would surely kill him, but he had to let him live. This was indeed a very messed-up reality, but to reach his goal, Sebastian had to do it!

So he didn't pick a strong spell to sneak attack, but chose a stunning spell that was decent and would not harm his life.

The red light hit Loki's body, making him stumble. However, Loki, who was holding Gungnir, was guarded by the God-King's authority. Though he was struck by Sebastian, the strength of the stun spell was weakened a lot. It only made Loki's head spin for a moment, and he wobbled, but there was no other harm.

"How dare a mortal like an ant attack a god!"

Loki grew up in Asgard. Though he focused on magic, he also mastered some solid fighting skills. He twirled Gungnir between his hands, pointed the spear at Sebastian, and shot a golden beam of light right at him.

Sebastian was fully aware of the gap between himself and Loki in fighting skills. He was simply no match for a wizard who had only learned some basic fighting moves.

Besides, the strength of Asgardians and Frost Giants was far greater than that of Earth folk, so Sebastian had no plan to get close to them from the start. When Loki swung Gungnir in his hand, Sebastian quickly backed away to dodge the foe's attack, turning into a black smoke that kept darting and spinning around Loki, and the magic wand in his hand fired spells like Impedimenta one after another, stalling Loki to make chances for Thor!

Thor surely did not waste the chance created by Sebastian. While Sebastian and Loki were battling, Thor finally rushed in from the gap in the tower, tossed Mjölnir in his hand at Loki, and directly struck Loki who was about to raise Gungnir in front of him, and hit Loki with Mjölnir and sent him flying, crashing through the gate of the tower and tumbling into it.

With a wave of his hand, Mjölnir returned to Thor's hand again.

The two men ran into the palace, only to see Loki standing there, holding Gungnir in his hand, with golden light glowing around him.

"Now that I hold Gungnir in my hand, I am the king of Asgard. Thor, even you are no match for me!"

"Loki, put Gungnir down and wait with me for my father to wake up and judge you. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude to you. Gungnir is my father's weapon after all. Even if you can control it now, you can't defeat me!"

"I can't defeat you… I really can't defeat you, because there is no need for me to defeat you anymore. My goal is about to be achieved."

Hearing Loki's words, Sebastian and Thor both sensed something was off, and Sebastian acted right away. Without any pause, he waved his hand and fired a spell. When the light of the spell hit Loki, it only made ripples. Soon, Loki in front of them was like a mirror image on a lake. He turned into bubbles and faded in the ripples until he vanished.

Even I was fooled!

Loki in this world was very strong in magic. Now he held Gungnir in his hand. He could fight Thor face-to-face and even overpower him. This made Sebastian overlook the chance that Loki would use illusions to slow their pursuit. He was held up here so long by Loki's phantom!

"Loki! Loki! Come out!"

Listening to Thor's roar, Sebastian kept thinking and finally recalled Loki's aim. He quickly looked at Thor and said, "Thor, Loki has gone to the Rainbow Bridge, stop him immediately!"

"Rainbow Bridge? Great!"

Swinging Mjölnir, Thor flew out holding Mjölnir, and Sebastian followed close behind, turning into a puff of black smoke and soaring into the sky. He flew out of the tower side by side with Thor, passed over Asgard, and headed straight for the Rainbow Bridge.

At the same time, Loki rode a magical warhorse on the Rainbow Bridge. He glanced back at the two figures flying from Asgard's direction. The warhorse under Loki vanished fast. He landed on the ground holding Gungnir, waved a golden light and knocked Sif, who was guarding Heimdall, away, leaving her unconscious. Then he walked to the console of the Rainbow Bridge and inserted Gungnir in his hand into the groove in the center of the console!

When Gungnir was placed in the groove, under the power of the God King, the Rainbow Bridge, which usually only linked the nine realms, would be fully changed into a star-destroying weapon able to wreck a planet, and could wipe out all worlds except Asgard!

Sebastian landed on the ground with black smoke. He wanted to teleport here directly just now, but Loki had already locked the space with Gungnir. It was fine to fly, but teleporting was not possible at all. Otherwise, he would have teleported here to stop Loki.

Loki, holding Gungnir in his hand, was right at home in Asgard, and this place had fully become his turf!
