Chapter 673 The Real and the False Odin
"I suspect that the man sitting on the throne is not my father..."

The Warriors Three of Asgard are known for their fearless and courageous nature, and their friendship with Thor was forged in the face of danger on the battlefield, making them true comrades-in-arms.

Beside her, Sif grew up with Thor and was undoubtedly one of his own.

Therefore, Thor told them his guesses and plans without any hesitation.

“I was wondering why the God-King had been giving me such a strange feeling lately. At first, I thought it was because the Queen’s death had changed his personality. Now it seems he’s definitely an imposter…” Sif had a sudden realization after hearing Thor’s story.

On the other side, the three warriors of Asgard were even more direct, immediately criticizing the fake God-King:
"So it was just a showpiece. I knew it. No matter what, the God-King wouldn't let those frost giants and fire giants bully him on his doorstep..."

"For the sake of the God King's honor, that false God King must pay the price..."

……

The Asgardian gods have lifespans of at least several thousand years. Odin, as the king of the gods, has a lifespan measured in tens of thousands of years.

Moreover, as time goes by, the God-King's own power will only grow stronger.

Although Odin's life is nearing its end, he is undoubtedly at the peak of his power.

In this situation, it is indeed a bit unreasonable to let the rebels from the Nine Realms bully us.

"Alright~" Thor, unwilling to listen to any more of his own gossip, called out to the Warriors Three of Asgard, "I'll be going with Mike to expose that fake God-King in a bit, just you wait and see."

At this moment, the carefree Warriors Three of Asgard noticed that there was actually a pretty boy next to Thor.

Unfortunately, Mike's appearance is indeed somewhat incompatible with the Asgardian warriors whose minds are filled with nothing but muscles.

"This is the helper you found? He doesn't look very strong, with his skinny arms and legs..."

"Why don't you take us with you? Even if it means death, we'll help you expose the despicable face of the fake God King..."

"Yeah, take me with you!!!"

The Warriors Three, who had doubts about Mike's abilities, then decided to join the team to help Thor.

Although Thor was aware of Mike's strength, he also felt that more people meant more strength, so he looked at Mike for advice.

“I don’t care,” Mike said casually.

Although the Warriors Three were verbally abusive, they did not actually offend Mike.

Or rather, their straightforward personalities are much more endearing than those who are two-faced and hypocritical.

Therefore, Mike didn't need to keep pressing them.

Later, with Mike's approval, the Warriors Three and Sif also joined Thor's team.

Then, the group headed towards Asgard Square.

As mentioned earlier, a rebellion is taking place in the Nine Realms, and the fake God-King should be giving a pre-battle pep talk in the plaza right now.

He was preparing to lead the Asgardian warriors to quell the rebellion.

“Are you from Midgard? I’ve been there; it’s truly a beautiful planet. But I always felt you were different from the other people there.” Sif had unknowingly walked up to Mike on the way.

Compared to the Warriors Three of Asgard, whose brains were all muscles, this goddess of Asgard seemed quite interested in the calm and collected Mike.

Okay, it mainly comes down to looks.

Mike has an extraordinary face that easily attracts women's attention.

Even though Sif is an Asgardian goddess, she is still a woman with normal aesthetic sense.

“If you mean Earth when you say Midgard, then I’ll consider myself a Midgardian as well,” Mike replied.

"Really? I heard there's a superhero organization there, so you're a hero too? What's your superpower?" Sif continued to press.

Perhaps she herself didn't realize that at that moment she was like a little girl full of curiosity.

Afterwards, while the two were whispering meaningless words, the six-person team arrived at the square.

This was supposed to be a mobilization meeting to quell the rebellion, but at this time, only a few dozen Asgardian warriors had gathered around the square.

In the center of the square, a large all-female dance troupe was performing.

Directly in front, the fake Odin lay comfortably on a couch, half-closing his eyes as he enjoyed the wine and grapes offered to him by the maids beside him.

The scene was as absurd as could be.

"Father, is this how you hold a mobilization meeting?" Thor said angrily as he led his men into the square.

Normally, Thor wouldn't dare to treat his father so rudely.

But this time, perhaps due to preconceived notions, he, filled with rage, chose to stare directly at the God-King on the half-chair.

Waiting for the other party to give me an explanation.

"My good children, and the warriors of Asgard... " Distracted, the false god-king sat up from the couch and then saw Mike in the crowd with a half-smile.

Those eyes seemed to see through everything.

This discovery made the false god-king's heart skip a beat.

However, he quickly composed himself and continued, feigning calmness, "You've arrived just in time; my suppression team needs you..."

At the same time, the fake god-king unconsciously began rubbing the ring finger of his other hand with his right hand.

Thor was very familiar with this little gesture; his mother, Frigga, would unconsciously make this gesture when she was thinking.

Loki, who was raised by Frigga, greatly admires her and therefore may unconsciously imitate her behavior.

Coincidentally, Thor knew his mother very well, and he also knew his brother very well.

Previously, after Mike reminded him, although he did not believe the other party's guess, he still had some recollection of it in his mind.

At this moment, seeing the fake god king's little tricks, Thor was stunned, and a flash of inspiration seemed to appear in his mind.

He immediately flew into a rage, raised his Mjolnir, and shouted, "Loki!!! How dare you—"

Over there, Loki, who was pretending to be the King of Gods, was startled when his brother exposed him. He then retorted, "I don't understand what you're saying. Loki... Loki is long dead..."

However, before Loki could get up and run away, Thor had already rushed in front of him and placed Mjolnir on his chest.

Thor's hammer, forged from the core of a planet, carries the weight of an entire planet.

They pinned Loki to the spot, rendering him unable to move, and simultaneously dispelled the illusion magic surrounding him.

"It really is you, Loki..." Looking at his younger brother struggling under Mjolnir, Thor's feelings became very complicated. He was overjoyed that his brother was still alive, but also angry at being fooled by the person closest to him.

"Let me explain, I didn't mean to lie to you. Don't you think this is funny?..." Unable to move, Loki was so frightened by his brother's distorted face that he became incoherent.

He didn't even know what he said, and in the end, he could only put on his usual ingratiating expression.

This tactic is very effective against Thor, who has an extreme brother complex.

This is considered one of Loki's signature acts.

Sure enough, seeing his younger brother's "innocent" smile, Thor's heart softened, and his tone became gentle as he asked, "Tell me what exactly happened? And where did you take Father?"

Overall, seeing his deceased brother come back to life was a happy thing for Thor.

"Take your time and talk it out..." Seeing his brother's expression soften, Loki realized that he had escaped another disaster.

Then, she arrogantly gestured for the other person to remove the cat hammer from her chest.

Then he received a loving but firm lesson from his older brother and immediately became obedient.

He explained the reasons in detail.

It turns out that Odin, the king of the gods, had already foreseen the arrival of Ragnarok, and this was compounded by the death of Queen Frigga during the previous invasion of the dark elves.

This left the old man feeling disheartened.

So he voluntarily allowed Loki to seal his divine powers and was then banished to Earth. As for Loki, he took advantage of the situation and put on a show for his brother.

After winning many tears from the other party, he began to enjoy the treatment of a god-king under the false identity of a god-king.

……

Meanwhile, Loki's disguise was exposed, causing a huge uproar in the square.

Fortunately, the Warriors Three of Asgard reacted quickly and calmed down the Asgardian warriors in the vicinity.

As for the performance troupe in the center of the square, they were driven aside by the three men.

"You don't seem surprised at all?" After assisting the Asgardian warriors in regrouping the Asgardian warriors, Sif came to Mike, who was calmly watching the show from the sidelines.

This man seemed to possess an invisible magic, guiding the goddess of Asgard closer.

“I already told Thor about the false God-King's identity. So there’s nothing surprising about it…” Mike explained before continuing, “But you guys should think carefully about how to deal with the upcoming rebellion in the Nine Realms.”

The Frost Clan has the demon wolf Fenris, whose strength is no less than that of the god-king Odin.

The Dark Elves, led by Malekith, were already powerful enough to rival the heroes of Asgard.

In addition, Hela, the eldest daughter of the God-King, had been imprisoned in the underworld by the God-King for nearly three thousand years, and her heart was filled with endless rage.

They are always waiting for an opportunity to take revenge on Odin, the king of the gods.

In this situation, the impending Ragnarok calamity that Asgard is about to face is not just talk.

"Hey, have you guys noticed? Sif always seems to be hanging around that Midgardian. And the way they look at each other... isn't it a little too intimate?"

"Keep your voice down. This is Thor's family matter. We'd better not interfere."

"..."

After the Warriors Three had the situation under control, they immediately noticed Sif's movements.

As Thor's childhood friend and betrothed, Sif's behavior at this moment is clearly against the rules.

However, on the other hand, Thor himself found Jane, a female scientist from Midgard, as his girlfriend, which can be considered a betrayal of his tacit agreement with Sif.

Therefore, it doesn't seem like there's anything wrong with Sif wanting to find a Midgard boyfriend.

At least the affairs of the two of them are not for the Three Warriors of Asgard to discuss.

If things go wrong, they might not even be able to remain friends with Thor or Sif.

On the other side, Thor, having learned the truth from his brother, calmed down after some reflection.

He was walking towards Mike with his younger brother Loki.

They also noticed that Sif was unusually enthusiastic towards Mike, but Thor didn't seem to care.

“I’ve already discussed it with my brother. We plan to first warn the fire giants who have been acting up lately, and then go to Earth to bring back our father, Odin,” Thor explained. “As for our previous agreement, I’m afraid we’ll have to wait until we return from the fire race to fulfill it.”

The process of exposing the fake God King went very smoothly.

Although Mike had given Thor some pointers before, he didn't play a significant role in the whole affair.

At least, his contribution of reminding Thor wasn't worth a single artifact.

Therefore, after considering it, Thor decided to take Mike to the Fire Clan to accumulate more merits.

When Mike goes to the vault to choose the artifact again, he will have a legitimate reason to shut up the others.

“I’m fine with anything,” Mike nodded, not wanting to put Thor in a difficult position.

Transactions are all about mutual consent.

Moreover, it is a divine artifact.

Mike should put in more effort.

“Very good~” After the agreement was reached, Thor turned to the warriors of Asgard and instructed, “Prepare the army immediately and let us teach those fire-breed brats a lesson.”

Among the rebel groups of the Nine Realms, there are the frost giants led by Fenris the wolf, and the dark elves led by Maleski, neither of whom Asgard can afford to provoke at present.

The fire giants, whose leader Surtur has never shown himself, are easy prey for Thor.

Thor also wanted to use this war to prove to his father Odin, who was on Earth, that he could manage Asgard even without Odin's presence.

As for Loki, why did he agree to this proposal?

This is entirely due to the mentality of trying to atone for one's sins.

Moreover, having always been dissatisfied with Thor's claim to be the heir to Asgard, he discovered after serving as a false god-king for a while that he didn't actually enjoy being a god-king, aside from eating, drinking, and having fun.

In other words, he had completely overestimated his ambition.

Having experienced the responsibilities of being a god-king, he no longer wanted to take on this mess.

After all, rebellions are not so easy to quell.

Therefore, Loki now seems to be following his brother's lead.

With this understanding, the brothers' communication became unexpectedly harmonious.

Meanwhile, on the plaza, thanks to the tireless mobilization of the Celestial Warriors, they assembled a team of over a thousand people in just half an hour.

This efficiency is many times higher than that of Loki, the fake god-king.

Then, the Asgardian warriors, fully prepared, were transported to Muspelheim, the planet inhabited by the fire giants, via the Bifrost controlled by Heimdall.

The fire giants here derive their power from fire, so when Odin, the king of the gods, took away the eternal fire from the planet, it fell into silence.

Looking around, there was nothing but cracked earth.

In this situation, the Firefowl, whose flames of hope have been robbed, have every reason to hate Odin, and even to hate Asgard.

Therefore, when Thor and his Asgardian warriors appeared, they were immediately surrounded by the fire giants roaming the wilderness.

Immediately afterwards, they launched a fierce attack.

No words were needed; war was imminent.

"Keep your distance, don't stray too far from us, so that we won't be too late to rescue you if something happens..."

In the midst of the chaos, the Warriors Three, who had previously looked down on the game, now tacitly gravitated towards Mike's side.

They subtly shielded Mike in the middle.

Mike was stunned for a moment before he realized that these three people probably considered him "one of their own" because of Sif.

Surprisingly, these Asgardian warriors are actually quite nice people.

As for Sif, possessing superhuman strength and endurance, she has now transformed into a female warrior.

Holding a sharp sword and surrounding Mike, she prevented the fire giants from getting close to him at all.

Thus, Mike got to experience what it's like to be a kept man.

On the other side, Thor, as soon as the battle began, led the charge into the fire race, wielding Mjolnir and unleashing his full power.

Behind him, Loki, who had used invisibility magic, would occasionally use his dagger to stab and knock down a fire giant.

This was meant to support his brother.

The fire giants on the other side, though more numerous, were disorganized and unable to inflict any effective damage on the Asgardian warriors, as they lacked a leader.
