Is Loki's gender fluid?

No problem, Hela's sexuality is also fluid.

Originally, Hela was just playing around. After all, she had nothing better to do in the Underworld. It was quite amusing to see her chase around this little prince of Asgard, causing chaos. It was a kind of alternative revenge against Odin.

But when Loki made this change, Hela's anger surged.

Don't forget, Hela is also a true-born Asgardian. In her eyes, any Asgardian male would strongly reject the idea of becoming female. Hela has experienced that deeply ingrained machismo firsthand.

She had no idea about Loki's peculiar situation in Asgard and his delicate state of mind. So, in Hela's view, Loki's action was basically saying, "I would rather eat shit than sleep with you."

This completely negated Hela's personal charm and attractiveness. No woman could tolerate such provocation, especially the once immensely proud Asgardian princess. So, Hela became furious.

"You've become female? No problem, I can become male."

Thus, when the young Lady Loki reunited with Hela once again, she discovered that the person across from her was no longer the sexy female clad in a cloak but a male ruler of the underworld, Hela, wearing green armor, wielding a long spear, and commanding a vast army of skeletons...

Although it resembled Hades to some extent, Hela didn't care. Consumed by rage, she had only one thing in mind: killing Lady Loki.

"An angry ruler of the Underworld will bring huge trouble." Lady Loki sat on the sofa in the reception room, saying helplessly, "It won't be just small fights anymore. If he captures me, I'm done for..."

Strange was already speechless. He said, "You really have no right to talk about Thor causing trouble every day. You're silent most of the time, but when you make noise, it's remarkable!"

"So, how do you plan to evade the pursuit?" Peter asked.

Lady Loki sounded very helpless. "I have no way out. I can only rely on the divine power within me to leave Earth and find a place where I can elude Hela's pursuit..."

"The divine light power that Thor placed within me has a natural guiding effect. It will lead me to the place in the Nine Realms where the power of Death is thinnest. There, I won't be invaded by Hela."

"And the place where the power of Death is thinnest is where the life force is most concentrated. That's how I ended up near the World Tree..."

"The World Tree sustains the existence of the Nine Realms. It is more like an abstract concept, not an actual tree with a specific form. However, there is a location known as the core of the World Tree..."

"There, a colossal tree, which has been manifested as a concept, stands. Guided by the Power of Light, I arrived beneath the tree. Once I reached that place, I understood it was an area where Hela could never intrude."

Lady Loki sighed again. "But you know I can't be trapped there forever. Even if I can hide for a while, I can't hide for a lifetime."

"As I approached the World Tree, I discovered that besides the branches supporting the Nine Realms, there was another new branch. It condensed unmatched life and vitality. I knew it could help me resist Hela, so I snapped off that new branch..."

"Wait!" Strange interrupted. He said, "Are you saying you snapped off a tree branch that supports the Nine Realms???"

"Oh my god! Why didn't Odin strike you with lightning? Aren't you afraid of the Nine Realms

collapsing?!!!"

Lady Loki glanced at Strange and said, "I'm not some apprentice who just started learning magic. I'm certain that the new branch is independent of the Nine Realms. Even if I snapped it off, it won't have any impact on the structure of the universe."

"Then why do you say you've made a big mess?" Steve asked, somewhat confused. "The only thing that could be considered trouble is this, right?"

"After all, nothing really happened between you and Hela. He didn't actually invade Earth. Even if you had a chase battle, it wouldn't mean much to the entire universe, would it?"

"That's what I'm going to tell you next. After I snapped off that new branch, things developed beyond my imagination..."

In a mysterious space filled with white mist, a towering tree sprouted from the ground. The boundless canopy covered the sky, and countless branches emerged, with each leaf representing a tiny universe. This was the incarnation of the World Tree.

At the base of the giant tree, there was a green meadow. On one side of the tree, there was a spring and a lake. The black-haired girl reached out her hand and snapped off a branch filled with life force.

Suddenly, the branch flew out of the girl's hand. After a burst of white light, a handsome male in a white robe appeared before Lady Loki.

He was surrounded by a faint glow. He performed an ancient Asgardian ritual to Lady Loki and said, "Hello, I am Balder, the God of Light. You have awakened me. Is there something you need? Wait a moment!"

Balder approached Lady Loki and stared at her, sounding puzzled. "Familiar power... Are you the God of Light?"

His previously cold and distant expression suddenly softened, and his gaze towards Lady Loki carried a tenderness and affection that she couldn't understand.

Lady Loki had no idea who he was, and just as she was about to ask, Balder looked at her with a sigh and said, "I never expected that the new king who would wield the Power of Light would be Asgard's little princess."

"Have you heard of my name, Your Highness?"

Lady Loki shook her head, and Balder let out a sigh that seemed both present and absent. He said, "I am your elder brother, the true firstborn of Odin, and the former God of Light."

"But I am not Odin's biological son. I am a new branch he plucked from the World Tree."

Balder's tone carried the rhythm of ancient Asgardian language, his voice rising and falling like reciting a grand epic.

"On the day the great ruler of Asgard ascended the throne, he made a promise to his beautiful fiancée. On the day they wed, he would pluck a new branch from the tallest tree in the world as a gift to celebrate their marriage."

"On their wedding day, Odin came to the World Tree and made a wish, hoping it would grow a new branch as a gift for the Queen. The World Tree granted his wish, and that's how I came into being."

"He plucked me from the World Tree and adorned me with nine beautiful flowers that grew in Asgard, forming a flower wreath. He placed it on the Queen's head, symbolizing their unwavering love and shared responsibility and honor to rule Asgard."

"The Queen was deeply moved and said to the King, 'This flower wreath embodies Asgardians' wishes for love and should be our first child.' Thus, Balder was born from the new branch of the World Tree, becoming the King's firstborn."

"I am the incarnation of the World Tree's power of life and vitality, representing the joy of spring and new life. Therefore, I became Asgard's God of Light, responsible for all illumination and new beginnings."

As Balder spoke, his tone gradually became somber, like a cheerful melody reaching its final chapter.

"Odin promised me that he would bring life to every corner of the universe, allowing the branches of the World Tree to take root and sprout in the Nine Realms, so that all life here could have a spring."

"But with the increasing warfare in Asgard, it brought not life but destruction. Life diminished while the power of destruction grew, constantly eroding me and making me weaker."

"The Queen was deeply saddened because she foresaw that the day Asgard would be crowned in the entire universe would also be the day of my death."

"My weakening and the Queen's tears made Odin waver. He began to question the meaning of this war and destruction, so he ceased his conquests and planned to rule the Nine Realms through peace."

"But he couldn't prevent the arrival of the final war."

"Hela, my sister and Asgard's princess, lost her sanity in the continuous warfare, believing that destruction was the only answer for the universe."

"She engaged in a fierce war with Odin, and the destructive power of that war became the last straw that crushed me. I lost all my power and reverted to being a branch of the World Tree, returning to my origin."

"The King and Queen were devastated. They couldn't explain to Asgard's people where their firstborn and heir had gone, so they suppressed Hela and erased my existence."

"Only a few people who were not influenced by Odin's divine power remembered my existence, and you... Since Hela, the new princess of Asgard, you possess a power completely opposite to your sister's. It is a new Power of Light."

"On the World Tree, I was briefly influenced by the breath of this power, and in the moment this Power of Light truly touched me, I was awakened again."

"Your Highness, as the bearer of the Power of Light, you will be Asgard's new king."

"Before, I was the holder of the Power of Light, so I was the heir to the throne. And now, you possess a completely new Power of Light, so you will be the next king of Asgard."

Lady Loki looked at Balder's eyes filled with tenderness and affection. In that moment, she suddenly felt a sense of destiny, as if everything had been arranged by coincidences.

In the past, Odin came to the World Tree and plucked a new branch. In the thriving Asgard, Balder became the great prince and heir, bringing vitality to the Nine Realms.

Then came Hela, who became the culprit that killed her own elder brother. She represented the opposite of life and vitality, embodying death and destruction.

And now, Thor, who wields the new Power of Light, has become the true heir of Asgard.

And she, due to a series of coincidences, has become a princess. So, is she also destined to wield the power of destruction and death, and kill her own elder brother?

Why does everything seem like a predetermined cycle?

Why is it that whenever there is a vacant position in this story, a series of coincidences push a suitable person into that position?

Lady Loki thought, is the constant cycle of birth and destruction truly an unavoidable fate for Asgard?

While Lady Loki was contemplating this question, Schiller interrupted her and asked, "So, did you cause trouble after all?"

Lady Loki slowly said, "Balder discovered the aura of death left by Hela on me. He thought Hela was trying to kill me, so..."

The four people sitting on the sofa looked at Lady Loki together. Lady Loki's voice was very stiff as she said, "The God of Light and the God of Death, because of me... started a war."
