Chapter 138 - Protector

Loki stared down at Valeria, a frown forming on his forehead. He could understand the hatred she harbored. Many across the Nine Realms loathed the gods and resenting their power and influence. But openly fighting against them? Even the most foolish beings knew that was a suicidal choice.Rebellion had been attempted countless times before, and each one ended in catastrophic failure for them. Loki knew this well, he had witnessed it throughout the ages. He even put up down of it himself.Even now, while a few still despised the gods with their whole being most only dared to hate them in silence and not willing to risk outright conflict.Valeria had never shown any inclination toward open warfare against Asgard until recently. Her sudden boldness and her willingness to launch a direct attack, made one thing clear: she had a powerful backer. Someone or something had emboldened her then given her the means to challenge the gods directly.
