Asgard.
Also known as the Asgardian Realm.
The deities who worship Odin as their chief god reside here.
It's like a dazzling city in the sky.
Mountains, lakes, rivers...
Everything is there.
In the center.
A magnificent palace, shaped like a pipe organ, stands majestically.
Viking-style buildings stood shoulder to shoulder, guarding the dazzling, magnificent castle.
The scenery was grand and majestic.
Even top special effects companies couldn't replicate even one ten-thousandth of its beauty!
Truly worthy of the name, the Celestial Palace!
"Let's go rescue Loki first."
Shen Du's lips curled into a smile.
Immediately, he transformed into a ray of rainbow light, shooting towards the towering castle at the end of his vision.
This was the Golden Palace, where Odin resided.
With no welding marks, it was like a work of art carved by the gods themselves, standing on the earth, never to collapse.
Whoosh!
The power of the Rooster and Rabbit Talismans suddenly activated.
Shen Du, in his invisible state, pushed his speed to the absolute limit, not alerting anyone.
Not even Heimdall, the guardian of the Bifrost, the god of dawn, was aware!
Heimdall.
He possessed the rare ability to see all things and hear everything!
He monitored all matters of the Nine Realms on behalf of Odin.
Of course.
Heimdall also slacked off sometimes.
Like right now.
This gatekeeper god, clad in golden armor, was resting with his eyes closed.
Golden Palace.
The magnificent palace soared into the clouds, with a total of five hundred and forty grand gates, guarded by heavily armed soldiers.
Eagles circled in the clouds.
Training grounds.
Strong Asgardians were competing and sparring.
When weapons clashed and collided, a bright light would burst forth.
These were magical weapons forged by the Dwarves.
They were made using Uru Metal and other metals.
Through the enchantment of runes, it possessed all sorts of incredible attributes, capable of inflicting unprecedented, fatal damage to dark creatures.
Uru Metal.
Undoubtedly a rare material produced in Asgard! It has a natural affinity for magic!
Neither Vibranium nor Adamantium could compare.
It is said that Thanos's armor and the Tyrant's Blade he wielded in Avengers: Endgame were both divine artifacts forged from Uru Metal!
That's why he was so tough! He could even chop up Captain America's iconic shield!
"If I could plunder Uru Metal..."
"And forge weapons for my brothers and sisters…"
"Even if the gods of Earth descended, they would probably be helpless."
Shen Du's eyes flickered.
Then, he went straight through the white stone stairs, heading towards the depths of the Golden Palace, the prison that held the most vicious criminals of the Nine Realms!
Inside a magically woven cell.
The god of lies and trickery, Loki, in dark leather clothing and a wicked appearance, was idly tossing dice when suddenly, his hair stood on end, and he felt a palpitation from the bottom of his heart!
… A familiar scent of Fire Qi.
Could it be!
Has the Lord Saint come here?
"Probably an illusion."
"How could that noble demon emperor care about my safety?"
Loki looked crestfallen.
After all, he hadn't completed his mission, and had been utterly defeated by the Avengers!
Not only had he lost the Mind Stone…
He hadn't even taken down 177A Bleecker Street.
And now he was a prisoner!
Even if the Lord Saint wanted to rescue him, it would be difficult to evade Heimdall's gaze, or the valiant warriors of Asgard, and sneak into the vicinity of the dungeon.
Besides, Odin, the Allfather, wasn't just for show! Frigga, the Queen, would also be using magic to keep an eye on his every move.
"Loki."
"It seems you underestimated my abilities."
A burst of laughter echoed.
Immediately!
The evil god Loki shivered.
That voice…
Lord Saint!
Lord Saint actually came?!
Crack!
The handcuffs and shackles binding the evil god Loki shattered instantly, falling to the ground with a crisp sound.
Then, the magical barrier enveloping the cell dissipated.
"Take me to Odin's vault."
"I need to find a book recording ancient secret techniques."
The deep, magnetic voice sounded again.
"A book?"
"Usually displayed in Odin's study!"
"But we should indeed go to Odin's vault."
Loki's lips curved into a mysterious smile.
Then, he transformed into a sharp-looking Asgardian soldier, with a solemn face and a sturdy build, and walked towards the vault.
Through a long, solemn corridor.
Twisting and turning.
The view suddenly opened up.
Symmetrical display stands stood on either side.
The first exhibit that caught the eye was an Infinity Gauntlet, without any gems embedded.
"Huh?"
"The Infinity Gauntlet possessed by Lord Saint doesn't come from Odin?"
Loki frowned.
Next, moving on, the Casket of Ancient Winters, covered in mysterious runes, appeared before him.
This was the artifact of the Frost Giants!
When fully activated, it could even freeze Earth!
Buzz!
A flash of light, and the Casket of Ancient Winters suddenly vanished, stored within the Four-dimensional Space Bag.
Besides this, there were countless other treasures on display.
For example, the Tablet of Life, engraved with runes.
The Eye of Aurora.
The Shivass Bracelet.
The Norn Stones.
Evil Eye of Avalon.
Ring of Nibelung.
Odin's Sword.
Odin's Scepter.
And so on.
And so on.
Treasures and exotic items once displayed in the demon's palace.
Also, weapons and tools forged by the Dwarf King, Eitri.
All are displayed here!
In addition, there's the space gem, which contains infinite energy!
The Tesseract!
A dazzling, brilliant blue gem. Inside, it's as if endless celestial bodies are swirling, and the vast, unfathomable infinite energy continues to surge. It can instantly reach any corner of the universe.
The main storyline of the Marvel Cinematic Universe is closely related to the Tesseract!
"It's my turn to raid Odin's vault."
The tall, majestic Eastern youth suddenly dispelled his invisibility, and his body slowly reappeared.
Immediately, the power of levitation transformed into an invisible giant hand, and it swiftly transported all the treasures within sight, storing them into the Bag of Treasures!
This world...
Odin's collection was dazzling.
It was breathtaking!
Of course.
There were some imitations, but they were also carved with runes and possessed a certain degree of power.
At the end of the corridor, a bright and dazzling flame was continuously burning and rising.
"The Eternal Flame."
"A flame that will never be extinguished, it has the effect of bringing the dead back to life, capable of resurrecting the deceased."
Loki's face flickered, and he began to speak.
"It can't be moved."
"What a pity."
Shen Du looked disappointed.
The Bag of Treasures couldn't contain things of this nature.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! He suddenly opened his mouth.
A strong, powerful suction force immediately emerged.
The flames danced and flickered, abruptly transforming into a tide of energy, which continuously converged and poured into Shen Du's mouth!
Eternal Flame!
For Lord Saint, it's a once-in-a-lifetime tonic, capable of enhancing the power and purity of Fire Qi, adding other rare qualities, and possessing pure life essence!
Using Fire Qi to give inanimate objects kinetic energy!
"This!"
"Lord Saint can actually swallow the Eternal Flame?!"
Loki's face was full of astonishment.
He was almost shocked beyond measure.
More than half a year had passed since the Battle of New York, and the evil god Loki had missed countless plotlines.
Naturally, he wouldn't know how strong Lord Saint was now!
"Skyfather!"
"Lord Saint has definitely reached Skyfather level!"
"He shouldn't be below a High-Tier Skyfather!"
Loki speculated.
He was actually way off!
Shen Du, who had refined the Eternal Flame, had already advanced to the pinnacle of Skyfather, the omnipotent realm! He could be called an Omnipotent Skyfather!
Burp!
Shen Du suddenly felt a bloated sensation.
Following that was an unprecedented experience of comfort.
His Fire Qi became purer and more condensed!
"The Eternal Flame..."
"It doesn't seem to have changed at all?"
The imposing young man from the East narrowed his eyes, clicking his tongue in amazement.
The key!
The Eternal Flame couldn't be moved!
Perhaps it was because it was a plot item for Ragnarok?!
Ragnarok.
Surtur, the fire lord reborn from the flames, standing a towering two thousand feet tall, wielding the Twilight Sword that symbolized the end of days, would bring disaster and destruction to Asgard!
"Where is Odin's study?"
Shen Du asked.
"Your Majesty."
"Please, follow me."
Loki's demeanor was humble and respectful.
Immediately, the sharply-dressed Asgardian soldiers retraced their steps, ascending the pure white staircase and walking along the long, elegant corridors.
They soon reached their destination.
The study of Odin, the Skyfather.
The door opened.
A suite with lavish decorations came into view.
Rows of bookshelves were arranged in perfect order.
Countless ancient books were neatly placed, arranged in their correct positions.
Book of Desire
New Universe Compilation
Annals of Asgard
Tales of the Nine Realms
General Fundamentals
Language Analysis of the Flower God Colossus Race
Identification of Runes
Journey to Hell
"I Ching"
It covered almost everything.
After all, Odin had lived for hundreds of thousands of years, dominating since ancient times. It was only natural that he would have collected magical tomes and secret scrolls from all over the Nine Realms!
"Which secret tome records the spell to remove the bond of the divine artifact?"
Shen Du stroked his chin, suddenly worried.
Odin could return at any moment!
He had to find the spell to remove the bond of the divine artifact as quickly as possible.
Only in this way…
…can we gain the qualifications to turn the tables in the coming storm!
"God's relics?"
Loki pondered this, a thoughtful expression on his face.
Suddenly, he reached out and retrieved a bound magical tome from the air. The blue cover bore two silver, hook-like characters in seal script.
I Ching!
It was one of the three great classics of the East.
It was an ancient classic that explained the changes of heaven and earth and all phenomena in the world, containing simple and profound natural laws.
Considered the foremost of all scriptures, the foundation of teachings, it's the source and general outline of Chinese culture.
Encompassing everything.
Vast and profound.
Even with the passage of time, the principles remain constant.
"Odin reading the I Ching..."
"I can't even imagine it."
Shen Du chuckled wryly.
Then, he realized he'd fallen into a mental blind spot and decided to simply take all the classics to decorate his study! Before his words even faded.
Buzz! Buzz, buzz, buzz!!
The power of levitation surged forth again, controlling all the ancient scrolls to float in the air, transferring them one after another into the Four-dimensional Space Bag.
"This!"
"Not even one for Odin?"
"Even my childhood stories, the ones I learned from when I was little, are being taken away?!"
Loki couldn't help but widen his eyes.
He now had a much deeper understanding of the Lord Saint!
"Alright."
"Finished."
Shen Du clapped his hands, a smile spreading across his face.
All the treasures displayed in Asgard hadn't even set up any shields or restrictions...
It seemed the aged Odin was indeed overconfident!
Did he really think enemies wouldn't invade Asgard?
Just then.
Brilliant, dazzling rainbow light pierced the sky.
A strong and powerful figure suddenly descended into the center of the city, a crimson cloak billowing in the wind, limbs strong and sturdy.
Muscles were clearly defined and healthy.
He strode forward, clad in Viking-style armor that occasionally sparked with electricity, clutching his beloved war hammer, Mjolnir. His imposing aura radiated a fierce, yet calm, energy.
"Thor!"
"He's actually back early?!"
Loki ground his teeth.
He harbored a deep-seated hatred and resentment for his simple-minded, muscle-bound brother.
"Loki."
"I almost forgot."
"A going-away present for you."
Shen Du snapped his fingers.
Whoosh!
A green mask with a unique, wood-like texture appeared before Loki.
This was a magical item from the world of The Mask.
When night fell and the mask was worn, the wearer would transform into the God of Mischief from Norse mythology, possessing unfathomable and astonishing magic, capable of endless transformations and anything!
Because the mask belonged to Loki.
Therefore, it could also be called the Loki Mask.
From a variant in the multiverse.
Compared to the Loki of this world, the variant from the Mask universe undoubtedly possessed greater power!
"A gift?"
"Why..."
"It feels like I'm looking at myself?"
Loki Laufeyson was full of confusion.
That's right!
The mask had a soul!
It had been sealed in the system space for nearly a hundred chapters, enduring half a year of loneliness, and desperately wanted to be worn by its host!
But...
The Loki mask itself couldn't believe it; it was seeing another version of itself!
"The multiverse."
"There's more than one Loki Laufeyson."
"This mask belongs to a variant Loki from another dimension."
"Of course."
"It's yours now."
Shen Du explained.
What?
The multiverse?
Variants?
Loki, and the Loki mask, were both stunned!
"Wearing the mask..."
"You will increase your rank and have the power to rival Thor."
Whoosh.
Shen Du tossed out a curved scepter again and handed it to the evil god Loki.
This was Odin's Scepter.
The magical weapon Odin held when attending grand ceremonies. The staff was engraved with complex runic characters, and the tip flickered with a cold, sharp light.

New Translation
Forged from the branches of the World Tree!
It possesses unparalleled, immense Magical Power.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Loki paid his respects with reverence.
Then, holding the Loki Mask with both hands, he slowly placed it onto his face!
A grand and sacred wave of energy, like a shockwave, suddenly radiated outwards in all directions.
The entire Asgard, with its solemn halls like a grand organ.
Began to rumble!
Loki, wearing the Loki Mask, underwent a transformation that defied description. Magical Power from other planes of existence continuously surged into the Evil God's body!
The ancient mask suddenly enveloped the Evil God Loki's handsome face.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Loki spun into a whirlwind, his dark leather attire morphing into a well-tailored, form-fitting suit.
He reappeared before Shen Du in a completely new guise.
