The Royal Palace was an exceptionally conspicuous landmark in Asgard.
Emerging from the Bifrost, the tallest structure visible was the Royal Palace of Asgard, the residence of Odin, the Allfather.
After Wonder Woman arrived at the Royal Palace, she realized that she hadn't encountered a single guard along the way.
The vast Royal Palace was empty and silent, with only the sound of her own footsteps breaking the stillness.
It was obvious that Loki had used an excuse to send the guards away, allowing Laufey, the Frost Giant king, to come to Asgard, making it easier for him to enter the Royal Palace.
Laufey was preparing to harm his old rival, Odin, the Allfather.
However, Laufey had no idea that the one who would truly strike was not him, but his own son, Loki, who was also his collaborator.
Although Odin seemed to be in a vegetative state, he was still in control of everything from his high position.
Her gaze swept across the entire scene.
Wonder Woman headed towards the most magnificent and imposing place in the Royal Palace.
Odin was currently asleep deep within the Royal Palace.
It wasn't hard to find.
Most importantly, Wonder Woman had already discovered Frost Giants moving around inside the Royal Palace.
These people from Jotunheim had purplish skin and a appearance that was obviously different from humans and Asgardians. They were clearly the subordinates brought by the Frost Giant king, Laufey.
Even if she couldn't find him, she could ask these people where Odin was.
Royal Palace, the place where Odin slept.
"I heard you can still hear and see the people and things around you… Then you must know that your death was orchestrated by the Frost Giant King, Laufey."
Laufey leaned over, looking at Odin, the one-eyed god-king, who lay on the golden bed. His tone was low, filled with hatred and glee.
He gathered an ice cone in his palm, preparing to stab it into Odin's heart.
Whoosh! A beam of energy struck Laufey.
Bang! Laufey was sent flying sideways. His originally powerful body exploded under the long-prepared energy beam.
Half of his body lay on the ground, the parts below his legs obliterated by the energy beam.
But even so, as the Frost Giant King, his strong vitality still kept his mind clear. His pair of crimson eyes stared at Loki, filled with disbelief.
"Why?"
Laufey gritted his teeth, "Why did you betray me?"
"This isn't betrayal."
Loki raised the Scepter in his hand, aiming it at Laufey, who could no longer resist. He said coldly, "I was never a Jotunheim native. I come from Asgard. I am the son of Odin, the Allfather."
"Remember, you were killed by the son of the Allfather Odin."
As the words fell.
Whoosh!
Another amazing energy beam shot out from Loki's Scepter, blasting Laufey's body into countless sparks. Not even a trace of a corpse remained; he was completely dead, annihilated into ashes.
"Loki!"
At this moment, Frigga, Odin's wife, who had been knocked down by Laufey, got up from the ground and excitedly went forward to embrace Loki.
"You saved him!"
The two embraced.
Loki assured Frigga in front of him, "I swear to you, they will pay the price."
The "they" here naturally referred to the Frost Giants, and the Frost Giants' kingdom, Jotunheim.
Loki was undoubtedly a jealous bad boy.
Because he was jealous of his brother Thor, he used tricks to make his brother make a big mistake, anger Odin, and be demoted to a mortal. Then his father fell asleep, and he acted as king.
If the story stopped here, Loki would have shown his true colors as a hero, and he would definitely be considered a scheming villain.
But unfortunately, the protagonist of this story was Thor, so Loki's fate was inevitably tragic.
In the original story, seeing his brother return to seize his "throne," Loki, enraged and heedless of consequences, sent the Destroyer to kill Thor, inadvertently helping Thor regain his powers.
Loki, realizing the situation was unfavorable, simply executed his final plan.
He used a double agent to lure Laufey, the Frost Giant king of Jotunheim, and killed him in the Royal Palace, before Odin's sleeping bed, using this as a pretext to declare war on Jotunheim, completely destroying it and demonstrating his abilities and authority.
This way, even if Thor returned, Loki's contributions would surpass Thor's.
He would, therefore, replace Thor and become a hero of Asgard.
In this spacetime where Anton was, Thor had not regained his powers. Even if he returned to Asgard, he couldn't stop Loki's actions.
As long as Loki followed the original plan, killed Laufey, saved his father Odin, and used this to declare war on Jotunheim, destroying Jotunheim, his merits would be immeasurable.
Thor, stripped of his power, was even less likely to reclaim the throne from him.
"What's in my grasp, I won't give to you."
Loki's eyes narrowed.
"Loki!"
Suddenly, a clear voice rang out, echoing through the vast space.
This was Odin's resting place.
The soldiers could only guard the entrance, utterly unwilling to go inside.
Moreover, Loki had used an excuse to send away all the soldiers within the Royal Palace. At this moment, the only people who could enter this area were Odin's closest family.
Thor, Frigga, and Loki himself.
The voice belonged to a woman, and it was obviously not Thor. That left only one possibility.
"It's that woman."
Loki's eyes were cold as he looked at the entrance to the sleeping grounds. A tall, graceful woman slowly emerged there. It was the mysterious figure he had seen through the Destroyer's eyes, the one who had stopped him.
"Trespassing in the Royal Palace is a capital offense!"
Loki's voice was low. "You have violated the taboos of Asgard."
"If I deserve death, then you deserve it even more."
Wonder Woman held Mjolnir, calmly looking at Loki. She remained composed and spoke softly, "Loki, you have violated even greater taboos: playing with conspiracies, harming your brother, deceiving the king, and your mother… My offense can still be forgiven, but your mistakes are unforgivable."
"Loki."
Frigga's gaze swept over Mjolnir, held by Wonder Woman, then fixed on her son.
As the Queen, she was no fool. She had been an excellent warrior in her youth, and a master of magic. Although she had aged and her strength had diminished, she wasn't oblivious to the signs. Previously, she hadn't wanted to believe it, trusting Loki. Now, hearing someone denounce him and seeing his expression, she looked pained.
Though only Loki's adoptive mother, Frigga was closer to him than any birth mother, and she immediately saw the unnaturalness in his expression.
"Mother, I will explain everything."
As Loki spoke, his eyes remained fixed on Wonder Woman at the door.
At the same time, he raised the Scepter, the energy beam at its tip converging and exploding, striking at Wonder Woman at the door.
Boom!
Wonder Woman leaped back, the ground beneath her feet cracking from the energy beam, stone fragments flying. The entire Royal Palace shook.
But even so, Odin was still lying on that golden bed, eyes closed, unmoving.
Wonder Woman paused in mid-air, her gaze sweeping over Odin in the Royal Palace.
Seeing the old man's appearance, she couldn't help but purse her lips.
She always felt like this guy was faking it.
Whoosh!
Following closely behind, Loki flew out of the Royal Palace.
He wasn't in a hurry to fight Wonder Woman to the death, because he guessed Thor had also returned to Asgard with her. The most urgent matter wasn't Wonder Woman, but to quickly go to the Bifrost, send out a world-destroying energy beam, and destroy Jotunheim.
Only in this way could he explain himself to his father, and mother, Odin and Frigga.
Only in this way could he firmly sit on the throne.
"Hmph!"
Loki glanced at Wonder Woman in the air and flipped onto a Pegasus outside the Royal Palace, quickly heading toward the Bifrost.
Wonder Woman, however, didn't want to give him a chance and swung Thor's Hammer in her hand.
Zzzt!
Lightning filled the sky, converging on Mjolnir and slamming down hard on Loki, who was riding the Pegasus and trying to escape Wonder Woman.
"Damn it!"
Loki gritted his teeth and cursed, jumping off the Pegasus.
Boom!
The next moment, Thor's Hammer came crashing down, hitting the Pegasus he had been riding.
"Wailing…"
The Pegasus let out a mournful cry, instantly shattering into pieces, and blood splattered everywhere.
"What a pity!"
Wonder Woman's expression was cold. She said "what a pity," but didn't hold back at all. She recalled Mjolnir, and channeled Thor's power to its limit, summoning thunder to attack Loki.
Loki wasn't good at fighting at all.
He was best at bewitching people's hearts and playing with conspiracies and tricks, which was why he was known as the God of Mischief.
Of course, besides these things, Loki was also very good at escaping.
Boom! Thunder struck down and hit Loki.
"An illusion?"
Wonder Woman's eyes narrowed.
Crack! Crack! Crack!
Loki's illusion was annihilated by the lightning, which struck the ground directly. The ground cracked and shattered, with cracks the width of a hand spreading everywhere.
Buildings near the Asgard Royal Palace shook, alarming many Asgardians.
They looked up at the sky, clearly recognizing Thor's power.
But the figure in the sky wasn't the familiar Thor. It was a strange woman in armor.
The people were stunned.
"Who is that?"
"Why does she have Thor's power?"
"Could she be the god-king's illegitimate daughter?"
The Asgardians were born brave, unafraid of death. Even within the battle zone, they remained unfazed, even finding time to gossip.
Of course, Wonder Woman and Loki, engaged in battle, had no time to consider what these people were thinking.
Boom!
Loki kept creating illusions, dodging the lightning attacks unleashed by Wonder Woman, and slowly moving towards the [G] Bifrost.
He knew very well that he couldn't get bogged down with this woman.
As long as he could complete the final step of his plan, he would be the ultimate victor.
Wonder Woman stood in the air, watching the countless illusions Loki created to block her path. She snorted coldly and threw [Mjolnir (Thor's Hammer)], destroying most of the illusions. Then, she spread her arms, and the guardian silver bracelets on her forearms clashed together.
BOOM!!
Under the gaze of everyone, a terrifying surge of divine power shook the people of Asgard, causing them to look terrified.
Such terrifying divine power could only be possessed by someone with the bloodline of a god-king.
Who exactly was this woman who controlled the power of Thor?
Everyone's faces were filled with shock, and question marks popped up one after another in their minds.
Following this, the fluctuations of divine power intensified, and they no longer had time to think so much, staring at the battle not far away, their shock turning to a frozen expression.
RUMBLE!
The divine power shockwave exploded, like a giant wave surging from the sea.
The visible air ripples were rolling like waves, immediately engulfing countless illusions of Loki in front of them.
Zzzt! Zzzt! Zzzt!
All of Loki's illusions were annihilated by the divine power shockwave.
The true form was exposed to everyone.
At this moment, Loki looked panicked, knocked to the ground by the shockwave of divine power. The Scepter in his hand flew out, landing far away.
Swoosh! At this moment, Mjolnir, thrown out by Wonder Woman, flew back into her hand.
Loki lay on the ground, unable to respond or react. Seeing the woman of unknown name about to strike again, he suppressed the panic on his face and became utterly cold.
Boom! Wonder Woman leaped from not far away, a huge circular pit appearing where her foot had been. It was evident how powerful the force she was using was.
Boom, boom, boom! Her figure flew across the sky, shaking the air. Mjolnir in her hand burst forth with dazzling electricity, slamming hard towards the motionless Loki.
"Don't!"
Suddenly, another figure appeared from nowhere, opening their arms and standing firmly in front of Loki.
"Wonder Woman, don't kill him!"
