The ceremony started with many warriors present in a row. Thor, Frigga, Volstagg and others on the side too. Thor was taken aback when he came to know that he had gained a new brother named Loki. When the actual Loki came to know he was also dumbfounded. After Frigga told him that he came from another universe he understood.
People cheered for the new Prince. Atreus looked stunning with the Asgardian armor. He had a bow and arrows in his back instead of a sword or other melee weapons. It was his weapon of choice. As he walked he felt shy as he was basically a boy who grew up in the woods. It was the first time he had seen so many people at once and that too cheered for him.
He saw his father standing the front row and finally calmed himself and walked towards the throne where Odin was standing with his Gungnir. Odin too wore a majestic armor. Atreus finally reached near the throne.
"Atreus, son of Kratos. Do you accept the title of Prince and take a pledge to forever defend the dignity of Asgard until your death?"
"I pledge that from now and forever I will fight for the people of Asgard and defend their honor until I die." Atreus said with a loud tone.
"Very well. From now you are the Third Prince of Asgard, enjoying the same rights as Thor." Odin said.
Thor and others cheered. Even Emma and John were happy. Thor was happy that he finally got a new brother and he could be his protector. He didn't treat Loki well in his childhood, he wanted to remedy that and look for salvation in Atreus. There was a large banquet after. Kratos actually had a drinking duel with Thor and Thor lost at the end which surprised everyone.
Frigga even took Atreus to show Loki his new brother. Loki looked at his other version of himself in another universe with curious eyes. Atreus like him had the bloodline from Jotunheim but understood that Jotunheim of Atreus' universe didn't have frost giants.
The next day Thor had to go back to nine realms to quell the rebellion but this time Kratos joined them. He wanted to have a proper feel of the nine realms. Kratos brought the Leviathan Axe instead of Blades of Chaos as those blades was his dark history.
Thor too wanted to fight with someone who supposedly killed Gods in his universe and he wanted to see how he fights. And Kratos didn't disappoint them. His Axe worked like Thor's hammer and used ice element. Since Kratos was brought with his character fully maxed out, he was basically an overkill for those who revolted.
As Kratos went away, John too returned to earth. John had informed Odin before leaving and said if he needed in any help Odin can ask from him. He didn't want Ragnarok to come to pass as that would mean loss of fan values.
He had a very vague plan for Hela and he wasn't sure if that would be enough.
"Sigh! Will think of it when Hela comes. What a headache this whole universe is."
After John returned he noticed that he had received many calls and messages. Even Emma received. Surprisingly even Fury had called.
"Wow, even the baldy misses me. I am honored." John said in a sarcastic tone. John returned all the missed calls and messages. He returned to his work the next day while Emma was busy with her classes.
John went to the DC office to check how far the next movie was progressing. The next movie would open multiple characters which he would require in the future. He was looking forward to it.
After a few days, John suddenly saw a news that piqued his interest. He saw a news that Dr. Erik Selvig was caught near the Stonehenge parading naked with his instruments.
"So it has started. Emma I will be going to London for few days. Tell your parents to take a vacation outside in the next few days."
"Huh? Is something going to happen?" Emma asked as she knew John wouldn't give such a weird suggestion suddenly.
"Well some old guy will wake up and he needs to be beaten back. Don't worry. Everything has been taken care of. Just inform your parents."
"Need any help?" Emma asked as now she too could help.
"No, it's fine. In fact I will just go to London for sightseeing and do damage control."
John flew to London that day itself as he needed to see the whole phenomena himself. He had the phone number of Dr. Jane so he called her after landing in London.
"Hello Dr. Foster. Remember me? It's John. I am in London. I saw Dr. Selvig's in news. Is he alright?"
"Huh. Mr. Jameson, yes yes.. He is alright. We are going to the police station now to free him from custody."
