Chapter 272 A loving father and a filial son

The Stargazing Tower is the tallest building in Asgard. Originally, it was a quiet place where few people, except for mages, would go. But now it has become a room imprisoning the god Zhang.

After being enchanted by Odin, the building was able to suppress Thor's divine power, and Mjolnir was also reinstated by Odin and placed on the stone platform in the center of the room. After failing to lift Mjolnir for the forty-third time, Thor angrily threw away the food that the maid had previously brought him.

"Damn it!" Thor roared, unable to understand why Odin had confined him.

"Don't get so angry, my brother."

The familiar voice made Thor turn around abruptly—it was Loki. But seeing his brother again filled Thor with anger—he knew perfectly well that the woman who seemed familiar and had deliberately given him wine was Loki.

"Don't get so angry!" Thor's muscles tensed; he wanted to hit someone. "You transformed into a woman to deceive me, and now you're telling me not to be angry?"

"Don't get so worked up, brother." Loki took a step back, raising his hands in a French military salute, but his face showed no fear.

Instead, he smiled even more brightly, saying, "I was just following my father's orders."

Thinking of this, his smile deepened, but the wound on his leg, which had already healed, seemed to continue to sting Loki.

"Father's orders?" Thor's voice was very low. "Father actually ordered you to bring me back using such despicable means?"

Loki shrugged, his eyes full of mockery, and said slowly, "That's right, Father only told me to bring you back, but he didn't say what methods I should use."

Thor clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force. He could still vaguely recall how the "woman" had urged him to drink one glass after another that night, and the absurd thoughts that had occasionally surfaced in his mind. "Alas," Thor finally sighed, then collapsed to the ground. He found it difficult to get angry at his brother, and besides, with so many heroes around, Loki had few ways to take him away and escape unscathed. In addition, Loki's personality was such that he thought, "So what? They're all just caged birds anyway." Thor looked at the ceiling, which was covered in stars. Although he had spilled his drink, at least these stars were one of his few sources of entertainment.

"This isn't fun anymore," Loki thought to himself. He wanted to tease Thor some more, but now he had to give up. He then lay down next to Thor.

"Are you here to laugh at me?" Thor didn't even turn his head.

Loki chuckled: "Seeing the God of Thunder like a canary locked in a cage is certainly a sight to behold, something I can laugh at."

But the problem is that it's not funny when I'm one of them myself.

The god of mischief was also confined, but he stubbornly believed it was a case of collective punishment, selectively ignoring the fact that, under the influence of the Red Mind Stone, he led the Ten Realms' alliance and almost overthrew Asgard when Odin was weak.

Thor remained silent, which annoyed Loki. He transformed back into a woman, then placed his hands on the ground and approached Thor. Thor almost punched his face at that moment, but Loki's next words made him hesitate for a moment.

"What if I said I'm here to help you?" The woman asked with a wicked smile.

"Why?" Thor narrowed his eyes, intrigued.

"First, it's incredibly amusing to watch you defy your father's orders. Second, I want to see you die alongside those heroes in this multiverse catastrophe, so I can become the first in line to the throne of Asgard!"

The two stared at each other for a moment, then Thor suddenly laughed. He threw a punch, which landed squarely on the face of the woman Loki had transformed into. After so many years of getting along, he had long understood one thing: it was best not to believe anything Loki said—unless it was closely related to him.

"Oh—damn it!" Loki was knocked to the ground by the punch, his feminine disguise completely shattered. "You bastard, you have no sense of chivalry, do you? You damn musclehead!"

"I'll take your last sentence as a compliment." Thor stood up. "Also, what do you need me to do?"

Loki covered his nose and said in a muffled voice, "It's simple, I need you to create a little chaos."

Loki's plan was simple and unpretentious.

As Heimdall was on his routine patrol, the Stargazing Tower suddenly exploded violently. The twelve guards rushed to the top of the tower, only to find the cell doors wide open, but Thor was nowhere to be seen. Only the god of mischief looked timidly at the thirteen strong men before him, appearing exceptionally pitiful.

However, Heimdall, who had dealt with the god of mischief many times, was not affected by this expression. He stared intently at Loki and warned, "You'd better obey the Allfather's orders; this time his attitude is extremely—"

Snapped!

Heimdall was knocked unconscious, and Thor, finally revealing himself, was surrounded by the other twelve guards. Fandral pleaded, "Please, Thor, don't force us!"

"You're the ones who forced me into this!" Thor roared. "You should be fighting alongside me, not turning against me here!"

Although the guards actually outnumbered each other, Thor was stronger in the actual fight. Even without divine power, Thor was already a powerful warrior. In particular, the monsters and demons he encountered on Earth during those years greatly enhanced his combat abilities. In addition, Thor was originally the crown prince of Asgard, so the guards dared not kill him. All these factors combined led to Thor defeating all twelve guards by himself.

Vostagg collapsed to the ground, sighing, "Oh dear, I didn't expect him to actually hit me!"

Hogan rolled his eyes.

After Thor defeated the others, he grabbed Heimdall's sword and immediately ran towards the Rainbow Bridge. Just then, Loki shouted, "Hurry up! I reckon Father's about to arrive!"

Thor sped up upon hearing this, but ran into his mother on the road.

"You shouldn't have left, Thor." Frigga said coldly, looking at Thor. "You shouldn't have gotten involved."

"No!" Thor insisted, "I will fight alongside them no matter what—"

"But is it worth it?" Frigga asked, frowning. "You are the future crown prince of Asgard, destined to lead the people of Asgard, but look at you now, you look more like a Midgard prince!"

Thor was at a loss for words. He could only run away, leaving behind the words, "Isn't Father still here?"

Frigga watched Thor leave without stopping him, only thinking to herself: Thor and Odin are so alike!

Equally stubborn!
