Chapter 110: Half-Hour Thor
Thor suddenly opened his eyes, sat up on the ground, and gasped violently.
"Thor... have you recovered?"
Sif looked at Thor’s current state and asked carefully. From his appearance, Thor was still wearing casual clothes, and there were still traces on his face from the beating he had just taken. He did not look like he had recovered his divine power at all. But if he had not recovered, then there was no way to explain why the hammer had flown over, let alone why Thor had picked it up.
"Hm? The hammer?!"
Thor recovered from the fear of death, looked at Mjolnir as it slid off his face, grabbed it, and looked at everyone excitedly. "I picked it up! I picked it up!"
He looked exactly like Fan Jin after passing the imperial exam.
"Yes, we all saw it. You don’t need to repeat it."
Coulson stepped forward with a smile and patted Thor on the shoulder to comfort him, but in his heart, his evaluation of the God of Thunder dropped another level.
"Then have you recovered?"
Orion Cross leaned against the car with his arms crossed and casually closed the portal leading to the Arctic. Everyone looked at Thor in unison. Clearly, Orion Cross’s question was the key point.
"I... feel full of power, but..."
Thor picked up Mjolnir and smashed it against the ground once, but his tone gradually weakened.
"But what?" Sif asked.
"But the hammer seems heavier than usual. It feels like it’s resisting me... I feel like I can only control it for half an hour at most."
Thor stroked Mjolnir with his oily hand still covered in fried chicken sauce and looked up at everyone.
"This should be the side effect of relying on a shortcut to obtain divine power without truly meeting the qualifications again."
"Odin won’t just watch you die, but he also won’t let you cheat your way through so easily."
Orion Cross spoke.
"That’s enough. Thank you."
Thor stood up, looked at Orion Cross, and thanked him seriously. Although he still did not understand what the so-called qualification was, at least he could temporarily lift Mjolnir now.
"Half an hour... Thor, then we have to go back immediately!"
Sif glanced at the sky and looked anxiously at Thor. "Loki hasn’t made any move since sending the Destroyer down. He must be plotting something even bigger!"
Thor nodded, walked to the place where the Destroyer had just descended, raised his head toward the sky, and shouted, "Heimdall! Can you hear me? Heimdall! We need your help!"
In Asgard, Heimdall, who had been frozen by Loki using the Casket of Ancient Winters, struggled with all his strength. Cracks began appearing across the ice.
"Heimdall!"
Thor shouted for nearly a minute, but there was still no response. Panic immediately rose in his heart, and he turned to the others. "Could Heimdall really have been killed by Loki..."
Before his voice fell, a beam of intense light shone down from the universe onto the ground.
"The Bifrost! Hurry!"
Seeing the Bifrost appear, Thor excitedly tightened his grip on the hammer and rushed inside. The four Asgardians followed closely behind him.
"You don’t want to follow them, do you?"
Orion Cross glanced at the eager Coulson and asked.
"No. I was just wondering whether you would go."
Coulson shook his head. Although he was curious about how far Asgard’s civilization had developed, and wanted to take this chance to help Earth establish diplomatic relations with Asgard, it definitely was not the right time.
"Of course I’m going. If Thor doesn’t come back, that would be boring."
Orion Cross chuckled and stepped into the pillar of light created by the Bifrost. As Orion Cross entered the Bifrost, the light gradually dispersed, leaving only a strange circular rune on the sand.
Boom!
"Heimdall!"
The moment Thor returned to Asgard, he saw the heavily injured Heimdall lying on the ground and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Loki... he brought the Frost Giants here. Thor, you must stop him!"
Heimdall’s eyes looked toward the other end of the Bifrost as he pointed in a direction. "Laufey is heading toward the place where God-King Odin sleeps."
"What?"
Thor’s face was filled with disbelief. He had never imagined that things had developed far more seriously than he had expected. But the urgent task right now was not to determine whether it was true or false, but to rush over immediately.
Thor turned and instructed Sif and the Warriors Three, "Take Heimdall for treatment, then go help the civilians. I’m going to find Loki!"
"Yes!"
"Understood!"
The four of them also knew that even if they went to find Loki, they would be of no use. They immediately carried Heimdall away from the transmission chamber.
"Orion, you might be able to take revenge today."
Thor knocked a Frost Giant away with his hammer and looked at Orion Cross, saying this in a joking tone, though his expression grew increasingly solemn.
"I’ll take revenge in another way."
Orion Cross smiled faintly. The Blades of Chaos flew from his hands, cutting down two Frost Giants who had tried to sneak attack him from behind.
"Such as?"
"Such as raising Asgard’s heir with delicious food and drink every day until he becomes a fat pig."
"Then I look forward to your ’revenge.’ The more, the better."
Thor laughed loudly and swung his hammer. He thought Orion Cross was joking, but in truth, Orion Cross was serious.
After spending a minute dealing with the surrounding Frost Giants, Thor took a deep breath. "I have to stop Laufey and Loki. You don’t need to come with me."
After saying that, Thor swung his hammer and flew away with it.
In the place where Odin slept, Laufey, leader of the Frost Giants, casually sent Frigga flying. Looking at Odin lying in the middle with his eyes closed, he smiled.
"I hear you can hear everything around you while you sleep. I hope that’s true. That way, you’ll know that the one who killed you was Laufey!"
As his voice fell, an ice blade condensed in Laufey’s hand, and he prepared to stab Odin with it.
Boom!
A destructive beam sent Laufey flying, instantly heavily injuring him while he was unguarded.
"And the one who kills you is Odin’s son, Loki."
Loki held Gungnir, aimed at Laufey, and fired another laser. Laufey had no time to react before his life was ended by his own biological son.
Once separated from Jotunheim’s natural environment, a Frost Giant’s recovery, endurance, defense, and many other aspects would greatly decline. If they went to Surtur’s realm, the decline would be even greater. If not for Loki taking the initiative to act as a guide, and if not for the fact that Odin truly had fallen into sleep, Laufey would never have taken such a dangerous risk and left Jotunheim.
"My child, you saved him!"
Seeing Loki kill Laufey, Frigga, who knew nothing of Loki’s plan, was immediately deeply moved. She got up and hugged Loki.
"Loki, what are you doing?"
Before Loki could enjoy the feeling of becoming his mother’s pride, an annoying voice rang out behind him.
