After a long time.
Odin remained silent.
These two matters were very important in his heart to maintain the balance of the nine worlds and to rope Lod in. They were also related to the future Thor and Asgard - he was hesitant about who to choose.
"Have you thought it through, Divine King?"
Lod put sword on Laufey's neck and said calmly.
If Odin was determined to protect Laufey, he could only watch as the duck in his hand flew away.
Odin still remained silent, but his eyes moved up slightly and landed on Loki, flashing with an unknown color.
A moment later.
Loki, who was far away, had a cold look in his eyes and a cold smile on his face. He held the Eternal Spear and shot out a blazing light that pierced through Laufey's chest!
All of this happened too suddenly!
No one had expected that Loki would suddenly launch a sneak attack!
Lod turned around in surprise. He had not expected that Loki would actually help him in the end!
"Eh..."
Odin sighed softly, and an imperceptible sadness flashed across his face.
"Loki..."
Laufey touched the wound on his chest and revealed an expression of disbelief. He had never thought that the person who had ended his life was the child he had abandoned many years ago!
Soon after, Laufey seemed to have thought of something. He raised his head and met Odin's gaze. His face revealed a look of understanding. "So... you were waiting for him..."
In fact, Odin had already noticed Loki's small movements. However, he could not speak clearly, so he handed over the power to decide Laufey's fate to Loki, who was also from the Ice Frost Giant Clan!
The king of the Frost Giant Clan, Laufey, had died in the hands of his son, Loki. This way, he could avoid the balance of the nine worlds being broken, and also avoid offending Lod. This was the only way that Odin could think of. It was a win-win situation.
Only...
In this way, Loki would bear the crime of usurping the throne and murdering his father and be exiled by Asgard.
Odin closed his eyes.
This God King who was always strong now felt deeply tired and guilty. He could only sigh in a low voice and say, "Now... you can do it."
"God King... good plan."
Lod looked at Odin deeply and saw through the means of this God King. He could not help but feel a trace of respect in his heart.
Then.
Lod swung sword across Laufey's neck.
Chi!
The sharp sword flashed by, and then Laufey stared at him with a pair of hateful eyes, and his head fell to the ground.
The first generation of the King of Frost Giant had fallen in Asgard today.
[Ding ---]
[Acquired: High Grade Soul * 1]
As he expected, Laufey was once Big Boss. Even though his strength had declined, his value would not change. He was still worth a High Grade Soul!
This was a high grade soul!
Lod's heart was burning. Since he came to Marvel World, this was the first time he had seen a superior soul!
"Now... are you satisfied?"
Odin sighed and looked at Lod with a complicated expression.
"Of course I am satisfied."
Lod smiled and said, "I will remember the kindness of the Divine King. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely repay you."
"There is no need to say more."
A deep exhaustion appeared on Odin's face. It seemed that he was unwilling to say more about this matter. He waved his hand and said, "Since the matter is over, it is time for me to fulfill my promise. Tell me, what reward do you want?"
Lod had actually considered the issue of the reward for a long time.
There are countless artifacts in Odin's hoard, such as the Sorcerer's Eye, Tuning Fork, Infinity Gauntlet, Eternal Fire, Monument of Life and Time, Aether Particles, and more...
Although there were many divine artifacts in the treasury, there were very few that were worthy of being selected.
Although the Eternal Fire was powerful, it was only useful to the flame giant Surtr. Moreover, the effect of reviving dead soul was not very useful to him at the moment, so there was no need to ask for it now.
It was hard to tell whether the Infinity Gauntlet were real or fake. Moreover, even if he got it, it was just a decoration without gems, so it was not within the scope of choice.
The Eye of the Wizard and the Sound Fork were not very useful, so he decisively gave up.
The only things that could be chosen were the Monument of Life and Time, Aether Particles.
The Monument of Life and Time came from Atlantis. According to the method shown by the inscription, any creature could evolve to a higher state, possessing extraordinary intelligence and strength. The value of this thing ranked second in Lod's heart.
The divine artifact ranked first was the aether particles!
The aether particles were also known as reality stone. They did not have a fixed form. Under normal circumstances, they were erratic liquid and could be converted into dark red translucent solid. It was one of the six great infinity stones. It could turn a person's thoughts into reality without exaggeration. It could be the strongest of the six infinity stones. Any physical law was meaningless in front of it!
In the plot of Thor 2, the leader of the dark elves, Malekith, wanted to use it to return the universe to darkness and occupy it for himself.
The importance of this stone far surpassed the other five stones in Lod's heart!
The only key problem was, if he rashly asked for aether particles, would Odin agree?
However, he did not have much expectations.
In any case, there would be plenty of opportunities in the future. If Odin did not agree, then he would choose the Monument of Life and Time. When the second plot of the Thor began, he would then planning on getting the aether particles.
"Have you thought it through?"
Odin urged again.
"I've thought it through."
Lod took a deep breath and said with a smile, "I want aether particles. I wonder if the Divine King is willing to give them to me?"
Odin was silent for a moment, his gaze carrying a trace of scrutiny. "Are you sure you want ether particles?"
"Yes."
Lod said firmly, "I want aether particles!"
Odin asked meaningfully, "Then do you know the true form of the aether particles themselves?"
"Infinity stone." Lod said indifferently, "Aether particles are one of the six Infinity Stones, the reality stone."
Odin frowned slightly. "Since you know, then you should understand that the infinity stones only bring about destruction and disaster. Why do you still want to obtain them?"
Asgard once had two great infinity stones, space and reality.
However, not only did Odin not use them, he instead threw the space stone on Earth. The reality stone were sealed in hollow's space.
Did he not understand the power of the Infinity Stone?
No...
Odin knew very well how powerful the Infinity Stone was, but he was more afraid of the disaster brought about by them!
"I know."
Lod disagreed. He stared at Odin with a burning gaze and said, "Since I dare to ask the Divine King for aether, I naturally won't be afraid of disaster. The key question is, is the Divine King himself willing to give up his treasure?"
"Hehe..."
Odin laughed and said, "Since I have promised you, I will naturally not break my promise."
Whether it was the reality stone or the space stone, it was not very useful to Asgard. Now it could only be considered a hot potato. Since someone was willing to take it, he was happy to hand it over.
What's more...
In Odin's eyes, although an aether particle was precious, it was not as precious as this young man!
