Why is it frozen? Something's wrong!" The other guard's face changed slightly. A mysterious figure appeared behind him. The figure's hands instantly froze and turned into sharp ice blades, piercing his chest.
It was not until this time that the guard who slipped to the ground saw the true face of the figure.
This was a tall giant with dark blue skin and blood-red eyes. He looked ferocious and swung an ice blade towards the guard. Just before the guard's throat was cut, he shouted the name of the invader.
"Frost Giant!"
Chapter 125: Thor's Conspiracy
Frost Giants, from a dark and cold world, had their sights set on Midgard, then Earth, thousands of years ago.
The Frost Giant King leads his army to Earth. He wants to use the power of the Box of Winter to freeze the Earth. The whole world will enter an ice age, making this place the new home of the Frost Giants.
Ordinary humans were no match for them until Odin led the Asgard warriors to fight them to the death on Earth.
In this battle, Odin was unstoppable and destroyed many Frost Giants by himself. However, because of his carelessness, he was ambushed by the Frost Giant King and his right eye was blinded.
The war spread from Midgard to Jotunheim. Although Asgard suffered heavy casualties, they finally won.
The Frost Giants were defeated, and Odin took away the Winter Box, the source of the Frost Giants' energy, and hid it in his own treasure house.
The Frost Giants had been secretly waiting for an opportunity to take back their treasures. Until these days, Loki found them and wanted the Frost Giants to go to Asgard to cause damage and disrupt Thor's coronation ceremony.
In a flash, the two guards of Odin's treasury were slain. Three massive frost giants slowly approached from the darkness. As they advanced, their feet stomped onto the ground, causing frost to form.
Right before them lay a gleaming treasure chest, radiating an icy blue light, seemingly possessing the terrifying power to freeze the world. It was none other than Jotunheim's treasure, the legendary Winter's Chest!
"Odin, that old immortal, has so many treasures here and there are only two guards guarding them." A frost giant said disdainfully.
"Stop talking nonsense and go." A frost giant had just picked up the Box of Winter and was about to escape when a tall steel giant suddenly appeared in front of them.
It is the guardian of Odin's Treasury. With it there, any intruder will be destroyed. Therefore, even if there is no guard, trying to steal from Odin's Treasury is simply seeking death.
Before they could run far, the three frost giants were swallowed by a dazzling beam of light. After the light, the frost giants turned into shattered ice chips, and the Box of Winter fell to the ground.
After destroying these invaders, the Iron Giant retreated. This treasure guardian was so powerful that only Odin's Eternal Lance could command it, and it waited for the next order to destroy whoever it was.
The invasion of the Frost Giants put Asgard on alert, and Thor's coronation ceremony was forced to be suspended.
Thor, Loki and Odin rushed over immediately.
"Those Frost Giants will pay for this!" Thor said, clenching his fists.
Unlike the angry Thor, Loki looked shocked, but was actually laughing in his heart.
After all, he was the one who caused all these troubles. He never intended to help the Frost Giants seize the Box of Winter from the beginning. He just wanted to use them to disrupt his brother's coronation to the throne.
As for the fact that they were all dead, it was also within his expectations. If they were all dead, no one would know how these frost giants sneaked in.
"They have paid the price, the price is their lives." Odin returned the Winter's Chest to its place. "The Destroyer has fulfilled its duty. The Winter's Chest is intact and all is well."
"Everything is alright?" Thor frowned and said, "The Frost Giants broke into our armory and killed our guards. This is a naked provocation. They violated the truce agreement. We must teach them a lesson!"
"If you were the king, what would you do?" Odin asked curiously. After all, if the Frost Giants hadn't caused trouble, Thor would probably have been the new king of Asgard. He wanted to hear what his son thought about this matter.
Thor waved his hammer and said, "Attack Jotunheim, just like you did before, and teach them a lesson. Let them know how powerful we are in Asgard! That way, they will never dare to set foot in our country again!"
Odin sighed and said, "Is your brain only made of brawn? I once told you that a wise ruler would not initiate a war..."
Before he could finish, Thor interrupted him and said, "But the war has already begun. They sneaked into Odin's treasury and declared war on us!"
"This is just the behavior of a small group of people, not the entire Frost Giant race," Odin said fiercely. "Only the Rainbow Bridge allows free entry and exit from Asgard. We must find this loophole and fix it."
The father and son's voices grew louder and louder, and it looked like they were about to start a quarrel. As a bystander, Loki felt nothing in his heart and even felt like laughing.
"We must attack Jotunheim. As the King of Asgard, I..." Thor had just finished speaking when Odin said sternly, "You are not king yet. I need to reconsider this matter!"
Odin was so angry that he threw his sleeves and left. Loki's eyes suddenly lit up. Since Odin had done this, did he still have a chance to become king?
With a bang, after returning home, Thor overturned a dining table full of food and tableware to the ground. Just as he sat down to sulk, Loki came over.
"Am I really not qualified to be king, brother?" Thor looked at Loki and said.
Loki curled his lips and said, "Although you may be a little reckless at times, you are the best warrior in Asgard. You were born to be a king."
"Today was supposed to be my glorious day, the day I was crowned king. It's all the fault of those damn frost giants, they ruined my ceremony!" Thor said angrily with gritted teeth.
"I don't know if this can be considered a comfort to you, but I think you are right. The Frost Giants are declaring war on us, and we must attack Jotunheim," Loki instigated.
Thor was a simple-minded man to begin with, but after hearing Loki's words, he immediately became excited. He stood up and said, "That's right. We must go to Jotunheim and discuss the matter with those Frost Giants."
Just then, Thor's four good friends came over, the three warriors and Sif.
The Three Warriors are three powerful Asgardian warriors, Fandral, Hogun and Vostark, while Sif is a cute girl holding a big sword.
"What are you talking about?" Sif heard their conversation and said, "Are you going to Jotunheim? It's a very dangerous place. Legend has it that it's covered in ice and snow, and no one can leave alive!"
Thor smiled and said, "Those are just fairy tales for children. My father once conquered Jotunheim. He slew the Frost Giants and took the Box of Winter. If my father can do it, we can do it too!"
Loki covered his face with one hand. He knew his brother was stupid, but he didn't expect him to be this stupid.
Chapter 126: Monaco
Tony's fame in the world is self-evident. This Monaco Grand Prix attracted celebrities and wealthy people from all over the world, and Tony chatted and communicated with them.
Let Natasha arrange his itinerary.
"You have a dinner party at 9:30 today," said Natasha.
"Okay, tell them I'll be there at eleven," Tony nodded.
"Okay, I'll negotiate with them." Natasha nodded and said diligently.
"Okay, we must make this deal. Is this my seat?" Tony nodded, took off his glasses, pointed at the table in front of him, and asked.
"Yes, that's right." Natasha nodded, then found the person who was in charge of the 9:30 dinner and started a conversation. Natasha was helpless about this willful boss.
"Hey, Tony, we meet again!" Justin pretended to be very familiar with Tony. He smiled and introduced a woman next to him who looked only about 60 or 70 points. He said, "This is Christine, a reporter from Vanity Fair. She's interviewing me. How about I ask her to interview you as well?"
Tony looked a little embarrassed. He felt that the female reporter looked familiar.
Pepper said helplessly, "Christine also gave Tony an interview half a year ago..."
This female reporter had interviewed Tony before, and accidentally ended up in bed with him. Tony may have forgotten this incident a long time ago, but Pepper remembered it clearly.
The appearance of her old lover and sworn enemy made the scene extremely awkward. Pepper made an excuse to go to the bathroom. Tony shook his head and she said, "Please don't leave me!"
But of course Pepper doesn't care about Tony's romantic debts. She doesn't want to be a third wheel.
