Bronze door through time and space

Chapter 838 Loki's Filial Piety

Before Thor could react, Loki, after transforming, unleashed a classic barbarian leap.

At this time, Loki was over two meters tall, his muscles bulging like hills, wielding two battle axes. He was only not dark-skinned, otherwise he would have looked like a demon descended to earth.

Even so, the overwhelming force forced Thor to adopt a defensive stance, which led to the clash of axe and hammer.

Loki's two battle axes are also divine weapons, once used by Thor. However, unlike Mjolnir, these two divine weapons cannot actively activate and amplify the Thor power within him. Just like the difference between a manual and an automatic cup, any man knows which one to choose, but that doesn't mean these two divine weapons are weak.

The collision of the axe and the hammer was like two large-caliber howitzers firing at each other. Each collision generated a huge shock wave, clearing away the ice and snow within a radius of hundreds of meters, and even blowing away the blizzard falling from the sky.

What's most unbelievable is that Loki, who has always been perceived as weak, cunning, and only capable of using petty tricks, actually held his own in the fierce battle. His strength and skill were astonishing, leaving everyone unable to believe their eyes.

This is not surprising. Although Loki is a sorcerer, skilled with daggers, and fond of backstabs and kidney shots, he still grew up in Asgard, a land that reveres martial prowess. Just because he doesn't use it doesn't mean he can't.

As a young man, Loki was far less strong than Thor, which made him quite envious of those muscular men. This was completely different from his perverted brother who loved Valkyries. So he spent a lot of time learning how to use those powerful weapons. With his long lifespan, over a thousand years, Loki mastered many skills, but he later stopped using them to maintain his elegant persona.

All his battle memories were now awakened, and driven by endless rage, Loki's ferocious offensive made up for the slight difference in their fighting skills, and he actually put Thor on the defensive.

Thor was completely stunned and relied entirely on his battle instincts honed over thousands of years, which made him look extremely disheveled. This prompted Sif and the others to rush forward to help, unaware that this only made Loki even angrier. This anger then transformed into fighting power, allowing Loki to overpower several people single-handedly, making them question their existence.

If Loki had used illusions to fool them, they wouldn't have been so surprised, at most they would have been annoyed. But this was real, hard power, earned by hacking away with axe. How could they not know how strong this power was!

Seeing that Sif and the others were injured, Thor finally came to his senses, told them to step back, and then unleashed his lightning to counterattack.

Lightning is Loki's most hated element. His illusions are incredibly realistic, but illusions are still illusions, and they will reveal their weaknesses when attacked. Especially with violent energy like lightning, the illusions can be easily destroyed and made to disappear. So no matter how good his illusions are, as long as Thor releases lightning, what follows is a scene of the reckless and foolish older brother bullying his skinny and pitiful younger brother.

But now things are different. The crimson fury erupting like a volcano directly negated the damage from the lightning, while simultaneously making his heart pound even harder and his blood burn even hotter. Only battle could bring him pleasure, so, let's fight!

Loki roared, and the invisible force transformed into a fierce impact, sending Sif and the others who were unwilling to retreat flying. Even Thor had to lower his center of gravity to stabilize himself.

The burly younger brother was truly terrifying. Thor watched in shock as Loki charged again, wielding a pair of battle axes, and was forced to swing Mjolnir to meet him.

Odin, who was pretending to be asleep in the heavens, had twitching eyelids. His plan was perfectly sound, so how did it turn out like this?!
Loki's change occurred after his return from Midgard; could it be due to the Ancient One?
No, she wouldn't be that bored, and it wouldn't do her any good.

Odin recalled the strange events in the realm of the dead, and his expression grew increasingly grim, clearly indicating that something unexpected had intervened.

Regardless of what Odin is thinking, it cannot change the battle taking place in Midgard. The struggle for the crown prince position has always been this cruel.

Loki swung his battle axe, and Thor dodged to the side, simultaneously hurling Mjolnir. The hammer arced through the air, heading straight for Loki. Loki knew the power of Mjolnir and dodged, but he was still a step too slow. Mjolnir grazed his shoulder, throwing him off balance.

Thor seized the opportunity to rush forward and deliver a powerful punch to Loki, intending to teach his unruly brother a lesson. However, the power of Thor's hammer was far too great, and his fist was far more reliable.

Loki sneered, tossed aside his battle axe, and raised his fist, as big as a casserole dish, to deliver a powerful counterattack. He didn't want victory, but a fair fight. So, brother, come and taste this fist as big as a casserole dish!
Thor, who relied too much on Mjolnir, never truly explored his own potential, while Loki's true potential was always intentionally suppressed, since his bloodline was the biggest problem. This resulted in the two brothers never fully unleashing their potential, and the intense collision at this moment actually stimulated their respective potential.

The brothers' battle was so intense that most people couldn't even get close, let alone intervene, but there were still strong individuals who were able to completely change the course of the battle.

Just as the two brothers were at an impasse, Laufey, who resembled a villain, ambushed them with a sinister smile.

Unable to retrieve their weapons in time, the two brothers were forced to fight Laufey, the veteran Godfather, and immediately found themselves at a disadvantage, suffering a humiliating defeat.

Laufey was taller and stronger than the other giants, wielding a huge ice sword. The ice sword, carrying a chilling aura, slashed at Loki. Loki roared and shattered the ice sword with his iron fist, which was covered in rage, but Laufey kicked it away.

No one saw the relief and determination in Laufey's eyes. All they saw was him punching Thor, who was charging at them, and as he trampled Thor under his feet, he also conjured an ice spear, ready to pierce Thor's heart.

Loki crashed to the ground, feeling as if his internal organs were about to shift. He struggled to his feet and found two battle axes lying nearby.

Without a second thought, Loki grabbed two battle axes, his anger ignited, his skin grew paler and his eyes bloodshot, thick crimson flames transformed into blood-red markings covering his body and even coiling around his weapons. In that instant, Loki miraculously pried open the threshold of the Father.

Laufey laughed heartily, and everyone assumed it was because he was about to kill his enemy's son, the Thor of Asgard. No one knew how gratified and joyful he was inside, because he had won, won against his old rival, because his son was more outstanding, and according to Asgardian tradition, was more qualified to ascend to that position, especially since he had a great gift to offer: he would soon become the cornerstone for his son's ascension to the throne.

The two divine battle axes, one horizontal and one vertical, completely tore apart Laufey's incredibly tough body, even severing his head. But all of that was no longer important; his goal had been achieved. Now it was up to Odin whether to follow tradition or act out of personal motives. Either way, he would be in the best position.

According to tradition, his son could ascend the throne of Asgard; but with selfish motives, his son was forced to take the path of becoming the King of the Frost Giants.

With Laufey's death, the battlefield fell silent.

Saul was incredulous, then overjoyed, because this was his brother.

Sif was startled, because she knew she was in trouble.

Odin had two sons. If one son was strong and the other weak, there would be no problem. But if both sons were strong, one of them would die.
