The savior of American comics? I am the evil god of the subspace!

"I never thought we'd meet again so soon, Father!!"

At that moment, Loki's voice echoed from the shadows of the doorway. The Second Prince of Asgard, having somehow escaped from the dungeon, looked triumphantly at Odin, who was panting before the sickbed, and mocked him with a hint of schadenfreude:

"I didn't expect you to unleash such power after drinking the virus personally concocted by [Nurgle]. It seems I underestimated you before…"

"But all struggles are destined to be futile… It's over, Odin. Your end has come!"

"It was you… The plague and demons that suddenly appeared in [Asgard] were all your doing?!"

Odin glared, asking weakly, "You… You, the lackey of the evil god, what do you want?"

Even though he wished he could kill Loki on the spot, the waves of weakness washing over him prevented him from even gripping [Gungnir] tightly.

"No, no, this plague has nothing to do with me… But I must say, this plague has done me a great favor. Otherwise, I might have had to lurk in the dungeon for a long time before finding an opportunity to strike at you."

Loki grinned wickedly, then asked with malicious intent, "Do you know what kind of gifts the [Chaos Gods] like the most?"

But before Odin could speak, he eagerly interjected, "A decaying corpse of a God-King!!"

"You… irredeemable lackey of the evil god," Odin rebuked, gasping for breath.

"Tsk, tsk, look at the sorry state you're in now?"

Having confirmed that Odin was no longer able to fight, Loki strolled out of the shadows of the doorway and spread his hands triumphantly, "When you brought me back from [Jotunheim], did you ever think that one day… you would be betrayed by your act of 'kindness'?"

"Hmph, I shouldn't have brought you back to [Asgard] back then. I… cough, cough… I should have killed you, this heretic, when I found you!"

Odin unexpectedly raised [Gungnir], and a beam of light containing cosmic secrets and thunder blasted towards Loki.

This was his last trump card!

Crack—

Loki was caught off guard and hit head-on. However, in the next second, Loki's figure shattered like a mirror, with countless crystal-clear fragments suspended in mid-air.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh—

Then, these floating fragments transformed into twelve Loki figures, each holding a different weapon, rushing towards Odin from different directions.

Pfft—

Odin's movements suddenly froze, and golden blood spurted from his severed right wrist. [Gungnir] fell to the ground with his severed hand with a "clang," creating a spiderweb-like crack on the luxurious golden floor tiles.

The golden spear also gradually dimmed because it lost the supply of [Odinforce].

"I advise you not to waste your energy there. Now that I have received the [Blessing of the Four Gods], my strength is no longer what it used to be…"

Loki retracted his clones, and a ball of blue [Flame of Change] on his forehead gradually faded.

He gracefully stepped in front of Odin, bent down, grabbed Odin's white hair, and lifted him up to his face, saying with resentment, "Actually, you should have expected this day… because this is the end result of you choosing that hammer-swinging fool rather than acknowledging me, the true king!!"

"That rune is…"

However, Odin's attention at this moment had already been drawn to the fading blue [Flame of Change] on the other party's forehead.

He couldn't help but recall that a few months ago, Queen Frigga had described to him the rune displayed by the [God of Wisdom] who possessed the Asgardian guards—wasn't it a ball of blue, constantly twisting [Flame of Change]?

And the other party just happened to be a subordinate of that dimensional demon named Karl Malla…

Wait a minute?!!

Could it be that all of this is…

Suddenly, a flash of understanding passed through Odin's increasingly turbid mind, helping him instantly understand certain things that had been troubling him.

Queen Frigga was wrong!!

He and the people of the entire [Nine Realms]… were all wrong!!!

The [Eye of Terror] was not Loki's doing at all.

The so-called [Chaos Gods] were not the real masterminds behind the erosion of the [Nine Realms].

All of this… was all the work of that damned dimensional demon, Karl Malla!

It was a carefully laid trap!

But this guy used dirty tricks to deceive everyone, making everyone regard him as a hero who resolved the crisis!!

Hateful!

Despicable!

Terrible…

Odin, who had suddenly understood everything, trembled uncontrollably, and his already pale face became as white as paper due to extreme fear and anger.

"Conspiracy, all of this is a conspiracy set up by that damned dimensional demon… Loki, you are just a pawn that has been thrown out, you don't…"

However, before he could finish speaking, Loki hysterically threw a punch, rudely interrupting him, "Shut up, I am not anyone's pawn!!"

"Neither yours, nor those four [Chaos Gods']… I, Loki, was born to be king!!!"

"But seeing as you are about to be killed by me, I might as well tell you… I have never truly believed in those four evil gods from beginning to end."

"I just wanted to use their power to take back the throne that belongs to me."

Speaking of this, Loki suddenly turned from anger to joy, looked at Odin with a smile, and continued, "But I really have to thank you. Actually, I had never thought about how to restrain the corruption of the [Eye of Terror] on the [Nine Realms] after killing you…"

"I didn't expect that this problem would be accidentally solved by that fool Thor. The [Black Stone Obelisks] he built in various kingdoms and node planets have really helped me a lot."

"Now I only need to kill you and then pretend to be you, and I can easily ascend to the throne of [Asgard]!!"

Good advice is hard to persuade a dying ghost…

Odin immediately swallowed the words he was about to say.

Born to be king?!

It's really laughable. You are just a poor bug being used by that dimensional demon without knowing it!

But that's okay…

If [Asgard] is destined to be destroyed by this rebellious son, then let him continue to be kept in the dark, right?

Loki, one day, you will pay a painful price for your arrogance!

"Truly, goat meat can't make it to the banquet table…"

Odin looked at Loki in front of him with cold eyes, mocking disdainfully, "Could it be that after all your painstaking efforts, you only dare to sit on the throne you dream of with my face?"

But such ridicule was obviously useless to Loki. He shrugged indifferently, "Father, have you forgotten? I am the [God of Mischief], so the tactic of provoking me… is useless!!"

"As long as I can achieve my goal, it doesn't matter to me what form it ultimately takes…"

Loki slowly spread out his palm, and a well-made alien dagger appeared out of thin air. Just now, he used this sharp blade to easily break through Odin's indestructible defense.

And this strangely shaped dagger is precisely the gift from [Nurgle]. The reason why Odin cannot use [Odinforce] is also because he is affected by [Nurgle]'s power on his own vitality.

"Alright, it's time to end this... Bang!"

At that moment, the palace door was suddenly kicked open, and Queen Frigga stumbled in. Her pupils contracted sharply when she saw Odin's miserable state, and she roared at Loki like a maddened lioness:

"Stop! You can't treat your father like this!"

"Father?"

Loki stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Queen Frigga, sneering as he retorted, "Mother, have you forgotten? My real father is Laufey, the Frost Giant King!"

"And you, my dear mother, your appearance is really a bit untimely..."

Loki conjured two more clones, rushing towards Queen Frigga from the left and right.

Now that things have come to this, to successfully ascend the throne, everyone who sees him act must die… even if the other party is his beloved foster mother!!

At the same time, Loki also brought his hand down, stabbing the [Despair Blade] bestowed by [Nurgle] into Odin's heart.

"No!"

Queen Frigga let out a shrill cry, then disregarded her own safety and activated her magic. Brilliant light, like a bridge, instantly connected her to Odin on the opposite side…

Pfft—

Blood splattered, but when Loki saw clearly who he had stabbed, he couldn't help but freeze in place.

Because that person was not Odin, but Queen Frigga!

"My child… cough, cough, cough…"

A loving smile squeezed onto Queen Frigga's face. Enduring the immense pain, she used the last of her strength to gently stroke Loki's cold and heartless cheek.

"Pro… promise me, don't attack your father. He already doesn't have much time left…"

"And once you really take that step, there's no turning back… Thor will definitely not let you go either. I don't want to see you brothers fighting each other."

"Child, stop… I can feel those evil gods corrupting your heart and soul!"

Clearly, Frigga had just used teleportation magic to forcibly swap her position with Odin's, thus taking the fatal blow for him!

This kind and benevolent mother attempted to use her own death to influence this stubborn and deluded youngest son.

"Mo… Mother…"

When Loki saw a tear fall from the corner of Queen Frigga's eye, scenes of her taking care of him when he was a child flashed through his mind.

Thus, the last trace of humanity in his heart was successfully awakened. After a moment of silence, he nodded slightly and said:

"I can promise you not to kill him… but I will exile him to Midgard, and then let him slowly admire how Asgard and the Nine Realms are reborn into glory in my hands!!"

"Thank you, child…"

A hint of relief flashed in Queen Frigga's eyes. She wanted to say something more, but at this moment, she couldn't even utter the slightest syllable.

"No…!!"

Odin let out a grief-stricken wail from behind. The aged king crawled all the way to Queen Frigga, struggling to snatch his wife from Loki's arms, and roared with bloodshot eyes:

"You beast, what have you done…"

"Shh—"

Loki put his index finger in front of his mouth, warning with a ferocious expression, "Don't make me regret the promise I just made… but although I promised her to spare your life, I still need to seal your power for safety's sake."

Loki then activated the vast psychic energy granted to him by Tzeentch. Nether blue energy weaved into a cage in the air before him.

Then Loki put the [Despair Blade] in his hand into it. The next second, the [Despair Blade] transformed into a green rune, branded into the location of Odin's heart under Loki's guidance.

"Ugh…"

Odin, with a heart like dead ashes, let out a shrill scream, but it didn't come from pain, but from shock.

Because he suddenly felt an evil and powerful force, which not only successfully sealed the [Odin Force] in his body, but also deeply branded into his soul through that chaotic mark.

Clearly, the Tzeentch psychic magic that Loki just released was definitely not as simple as just wanting to seal Odin's power…

However, what Loki, as the caster, didn't know was that this [Tzeentch Brand Magic] that could forcibly strip away the [Odin Force], in addition to forcibly binding Odin's soul to the [Warp], would also bind the caster's soul.

In other words, when Loki activated this magic, his own soul was also branded with the [Tzeentch] mark at the same time.

It's just that the self-righteous Loki didn't realize that he had been reduced to a calculated target from the very beginning.

"From now on, as long as you mention anything related to today, the [Despair Blade] will instantly pierce your heart!!"

Without giving Odin a chance to speak again, Loki activated [Tzeentch Psychic Energy] again, creating a deep blue spatial vortex under Odin and Queen Frigga's feet, directly swallowing their figures into it.

"Goodbye… Mother!!"

The moment the spatial vortex disappeared on the ground, Loki had already picked up the [Gungnir] and sat on the throne he had dreamed of!

Past experiences flashed through Loki's eyes like a revolving lantern—Odin's preference for the foolish Thor, the concealment of his origins, and the neglect of all his previous efforts, as well as Odin's conspiracy to use him as a stepping stone to help Thor ascend the throne!!

Anger, sadness, hatred, unwillingness… all kinds of emotions surged in Loki's heart one after another.

In Loki's eyes, Odin had already become a hypocritical, corrupt, and stubborn昏君 who would sacrifice him, this 'adopted son', to help his biological son Thor ascend the throne.

That's why Loki did what he thought was 'right' at that time—he signed a contract with [Tzeentch], promising to help the [Four Gods] expand their territory.

And the [Four Gods] would grant him unmatched power to help him defeat the hypocritical Odin and become the next [King of Asgard], [Lord of the Nine Realms]!!

At least for now, his choice at that time was correct.

He did successfully overthrow Odin's rule with his own power!

Now, even Queen Frigga, the only one in [仙宫] who could see through his magic, has been successfully eliminated.

He can finally enjoy a king's rule without worry!

Loki stroked the exquisite reliefs on the armrest of the throne with a fascinated expression, and a burst of smug pleasure surged in his heart.

From now on, he is the [King] of [Asgard]!!

Then Loki activated his best 'Shape-shifting Magic', completely transforming his appearance and figure into Odin's appearance, and imitating the other party's usual posture, he raised the [Gungnir] high and said to the empty palace:

"Make Asgard Great Again!!!"

"Giggle…"

At this moment, perhaps it was an illusion, Loki felt a faint, delicate laugh coming from the hall, but when he looked for the sound, he found nothing.

Loki: Σ(⊙▽⊙"a???
