Lady Loki, who had become the Glorious Goddess, showed no mercy. The several halos behind her seemed to have an effect of guaranteed hits, and no matter how Thor dodged, she could always hit him.
The situation on the battlefield gradually changed, and everyone was terrified by this change.
Before this, no one believed that Loki could really defeat Thor. In their eyes, this little prince who had always been hiding behind the front line casting magic was probably just going through the motions. In a little while, he would be chased by Thor and forced to flee, and then he would shout "Everyone attack together!" and start a large-scale battle.
But now the situation was obviously different. When the several halos behind Lady Loki lit up at the same time, she was almost overwhelming Thor. The power of the new king that had once shaken their souls seemed powerless in the face of this guaranteed hit power.
As the situation changed, so did the attitudes of some of Loki's followers.
Before this, they thought that even if the little prince could ascend to the throne, he was just a puppet. He did not have enough power, which meant that there was room for manipulation.
If we use Schiller's words, this is not really about ideology, but still about business. It is too beneficial to prop up a puppet king. Greater power means more benefits, more prosperous family, and greater power.
When they stood on Loki's side, everyone thought this way, but obviously, things were unpredictable. They had not witnessed the power of the Glorious Goddess Lady Loki.
But now they knew that if they helped this princess ascend to the throne, she would be a tougher and more ruthless empress than Thor.
Everyone saw her performance in front of the gate of the palace. Faced with the palace guards who they met every day, faced with the loyal comrades and subordinates of her father, Loki did not hesitate to take their lives. So who knows if the next one to be pierced will be themselves?
Just as many people's minds began to waver, Lady Loki finally erupted.
Countless halos formed a disc behind her like a sun, and she spread her arms. Her hair fluttered in the wind, and the disc behind her rose into the night sky of Asgard, illuminating all the buildings here.
When the light fell on the metal surface, it produced a beautiful sound like a musical instrument. Everyone knew that this was not just light, but an irresistible force.
Lady Loki stood under such a sun-like disk and said, "Thor, during your time on Earth, you should understand that the brightest one is not the Sun, but the one that is the brightest."
"If Asgard, led by you, is destined to be destroyed in the prophecy, then only I have the ability to change everything."
Countless Thunderbolts formed a dense net that wrapped around Thor. He did not speak and seemed to be silently enduring this blow.
A brilliant light burst out from the center of the halo behind Lady Loki, shooting straight at Thor. Upon contact with Thor's Thunderbolt shield, he was like a falling star, crossing Asgard's dark night sky, becoming the only light on the deep blue background canvas, just like the Thunderbolt that ignited civilization when Space was born.
And it was at the moment when this torrent touched Thor that Lady Loki's eyes widened, because she found that Thor did not resist.
She just stood there stunned in mid-air, murmuring to herself:
"...He chose me??? "
"He didn't choose Asgard..."
"He chose me..."
"He also chose me..."At her ear, countless cries and mournful wails sounded. The people of Asgard wept for the tragedy of brother killing brother, and for the Thunderbolt that had fallen in Space at the same time.
Lady Loki slowly descended to the ground, still looking somewhat dazed. She retracted her intimidating halo, and didn't even have the energy to transform back into a male. After a while, she waved her hand towards the people on the ground and said, "Find Thor... he's not dead, throw him in the dungeon."
Later, Lady Loki stood on the steps of the palace, watching as two tall guards carried the heavily wounded Thor towards her. Lady Loki's expression was emotionless as she stared straight ahead. She was adorned in jewels and wore a magnificent royal attire, her eyes like shining gems.
Thor was almost dying, with blackened burns covering his body and his armor falling apart, just like when he landed on Earth. As they passed each other, Lady Loki heard Thor whisper in her ear, "…have a good dream."
Out of sight from the guards, Lady Loki's expression momentarily crumbled. Her Adam's apple trembled violently, her lips pursed and pursed again, as if trying to suppress her emotions. After several minutes, she finally regained her emotionless state.
She stood on the high steps of the palace, looking up at the night sky while listening to the generals reporting on the current status of the battle. One fleet after another was being breached, one defense zone after another was being occupied...
He stood too high and too far away, to the point that no one could see the faint mockery in his eyes when he heard this news. It was like a heartless spectator sitting in the audience, watching a farce unfold.
Finally, a tall and handsome general kneeled down in front of her, holding the crown in his hands. He lifted it above his head and said to Loki, "Your Majesty, the new king..."
All the soldiers below kneeled down, and the trembling of their armor mixed with their cheers: "New king!"
As the resounding roar echoed through the night sky of Asgard, Lady Loki simply stared ahead at the night sky. The soldier who presented her with the crown looked up at her expression, but couldn't tell what she was thinking.
Lady Loki was thinking that when Thor was crowned in the bright daylight, he was accompanied by flowers, clear streams, and praise. But when she was crowned in the dark night without any light, she was accompanied by ruins, blood, and death. Perhaps this was the fate of the two brothers, the brightest one being the Sun, but there is no Sun in the dark night.
As Loki took a deep breath, just as everyone was standing up and ready to end this farce, a violent wave of energy swept through Asgard.
An incredibly large snake head extended from the void, staring coldly at Asgard with its indifferent vertical pupils. Its evil and cold voice echoed in the sky of Asgard:
"Asgard! The day of revenge has arrived! Prepare to meet your destined fate of destruction!"
Lady Loki stared at the snake head, then said, "Jormungandr, the World Serpent? How did you get here?"
Jormungandr spat venom and said, "Thanks to the foolishness of you two brothers, Thor, who was destined to perish with me, is now heavily wounded. I will destroy Asgard today!"
In an instant, Asgard fell into chaos. The prophecy was too deeply ingrained in everyone's hearts. Thor in the dungeon also heard Jormungandr's words. He flipped over from his lying position and easily defeated the guards at the door, just as Loki had discovered; Thor didn't use his full strength.
He ran out of the dungeon and climbed up the steps, but when he reached the door of the dungeon, he found a magic barrier blocking his way. The radiance on this magic barrier was exactly the same as the halo behind Lady Loki. Thor cursed and began to use his power to attack the barrier, but no matter how he attacked, the barrier was unbreakable and unresponsive.He saw through the barrier as Lady Loki charged towards the giant snake, and shouted, "No! Come back!" But Lady Loki couldn't hear him, and Thor watched helplessly as Lady Loki began to fight the unimaginably huge python.
He heard Lady Loki say, "It's not Thor who will perish with you, it's the king of Asgard who is destined to face all of this."
Thor punched the magic barrier, only now realizing that Loki didn't just want a dream, he really wanted to save Asgard.
"Let me out, Lady Loki!" Thor kept yelling, but the dungeon entrance was too far from the palace gates, and no one could hear him.
The impact of various energies almost turned the central square of Asgard into ruins. Countless Asgardians fled for their lives. Thor suddenly realized that this once-warlike nation was so vulnerable when faced with a prophecy they deeply believed in and that was destined to destroy them.
The battle between Lady Loki and Jormungandr was intense, but soon Lady Loki gained the upper hand. Her halo seemed to be a weapon of causality that would inevitably hit its target. No matter how the opponent resisted or dodged, it would cause a certain amount of real damage.
Jormungandr was a little stunned by the attack, and was about to shout, "Loki, didn't you say it was a fake fight?" when he saw Lady Loki suppress a cunning smile and say, "Shut up."
Jormungandr suddenly found that he couldn't speak, and was engulfed in anger at being played. The giant python unleashed its full power, and the two fought fiercely.
The battle lasted for an unknown amount of time. Asgard's sky brightened, but due to the energy barrier, no one could see the light. Asgard was like being shrouded in eternal darkness.
After waiting in boundless fear for a long time, Lady Loki's radiant sun rose again and she used all her strength to repel the giant snake. Jormungandr was already covered in injuries and couldn't even leave behind a harsh word, only being able to flee with his tail between his legs.
After extinguishing her radiant halo, Lady Loki fell from the sky and landed heavily on the ground. The final blow had consumed all of her strength. The people who had just cheered for the new king didn't catch her as she fell.
She fell right in front of the dungeon door where Thor was being held. Then, Thor saw a general in magnificent armor walk up to Lady Loki. Just as Thor breathed a sigh of relief and thought the general was going to help Lady Loki back to her room to rest, the general raised his spear high and plunged it into Lady Loki's chest.
