"Not killing him on the spot is already a result of my leniency."

Peter's expression slowly turned serious as he spoke, his aggressive gaze fixed intently on Odin.

"you……"

Heimdall was filled with anger and made as if to charge forward.

"Stop!"

However, Odin suddenly slammed the eternal spear into the Rainbow Bridge.

An angry voice echoed throughout Asgard, and all the Asgardians couldn't help but look in that direction, wondering why Odin was so angry.

"Sir, on behalf of Saul, I apologize to you and thank you for your leniency."

"If you need anything, just let me know, and we Asgard will do our best to help."

Odin's expression kept changing, but he eventually suppressed his intense anger and calmly expressed his apology and gratitude to Peter.

"I didn't expect that you, old man, not only have grown old, but your mind seems to have broadened a lot as well."

Peter was surprised that Odin could suppress his anger and refrain from attacking him.

"It seems that it may be impossible to provoke him into fighting me again today."

Thor, who has awakened divine power and possesses artifacts surpassing those of monarchs, is already incredibly powerful.

But for Peter at this moment, there was still no challenge.

If he hadn't held back, that punch would have turned Thor's body and the planet into cosmic dust.

Only Odin, now incredibly old but with his divine power at its peak, could match Peter's current strength when he went all out.

Unfortunately, this old guy is too cautious; in order to last longer, he almost never goes all out.

Even last time, he only managed to flee in a panic.

……

"Forget it, I don't need any compensation."

Peter waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need anything.

"However, since you are willing to come to Earth to challenge me..."

"Then I should be able to challenge you Asgardians as well."

"It's settled then. Now, I represent Earth and come to challenge you Asgardians!"

Suddenly, a hint of excitement flashed across Peter's face, and he issued a challenge to all the Asgardians without hesitation.

"Of course, I'm challenging real strongmen, not some weaklings... After all, I might not hold back next time!"

As Peter spoke, his disdainful gaze swept over the heavily injured Thor and Heimdall.

"Ignorant humans, how dare you provoke His Majesty the God-King..."

Before Heimdall could finish speaking, Odin raised his hand.

"Okay, I accept your challenge."

"However, I also have one condition..."

Odin spoke slowly, his expression serious.

"OK, as long as you agree to the challenge, just name your conditions."

Peter was surprised that Odin actually agreed to his challenge, and in his excitement, he did not refuse the conditions Odin proposed.

"I hope you can give me some time to prepare."

"After all, the battle between us is probably no small matter."

Odin calmly stated his conditions.

"This is it? No problem at all."

Peter thought he would make some demands, and agreed almost without hesitation.

"However, I can give you some time to prepare, but it's best not to exceed ten days."

"After all, my patience is limited!"

However, in order to block Odin's escape route, Peter still gave a precise time limit.

"Okay, let's make it ten days!"

Odin pondered for a moment, then agreed without hesitation.

"In that case, I'll be leaving now. Consider this axe a token between us, so you won't go back on your word later."

Peter gripped his battle axe, and in the next instant, he activated the Bifrost, disappearing from Asgard.

Not long after, in the palace of Asgard.

"Father, do you really want to fight that Midgardian?"

Wearing a magnificent battle suit and a strange helmet with two antler-like ornaments on his head, Loki couldn't help but ask his father.

"That's right, after this battle, whether I win or lose, I might..."

At this moment, Odin looked at his adopted child with a kind expression, giving him the love of a father for the first time.

"So, whatever the outcome, you must not seek revenge for me."

"Loki, my dear child, I know you possess an exceptionally intelligent mind, but I hope you will use it for good in the future, to help your brother rebuild Asgard."

Odin's expression did not show the fear of facing imminent death.

He was just a little worried about the future of Asgard.

After all, neither his biological son Thor nor his adopted son Loki had truly grown up at this point.

I wonder how they will be able to face their eldest daughter, who is about to break free of her seal.

"Father, I have a plan."

Suddenly, Loki, who was deep in thought, realized that he hadn't been paying close attention to Odin's instructions.

Instead, he suddenly spoke with an excited expression.

“Father, we can unite with other powerful races in the Nine Realms, such as the Frost Giants and the Dark Elves. Haven’t they all coveted the lands of Midgard?”

"As long as we promise to hand over Midgard's territory to them after our victory, and then join forces with them to declare war on Earth."

"So even if that Midgardian is incredibly powerful, he can't possibly protect all the weak humans on Midgard."

"At that time, blood will stain the land of Midgard red, and the entire Nine Realms will know the power of Asgard. No one will dare to provoke us again..."

Loki laid out his entire plan, becoming more and more excited as he spoke.

I wish I could personally join this battle that represents the glory of Asgard.

"Moreover, after our victory, we can use Midgard's territory to instigate a war between the Frost Giants and the Dark Elves. At that time, no other race will be able to threaten our position as the rulers of the Nine Realms of Asgard..."

Loki, the god of trickery, almost instantly devised this three-pronged scheme.

However, in his excitement, he failed to notice that the gazes he was being directed at, along with those of his father Odin and mother Frigga, were filled with a strange meaning.

"Alas, Loki, it is my fault for neglecting your upbringing that has led you to become like this."

As Odin neared death, he was no longer too harsh on Loki; his loving gaze held a hint of regret.

"You should know that a wise ruler will never initiate a war."

"Even if war truly comes, we will face it bravely and honorably, instead of resorting to conspiracies and tricks... It took me a lifetime to understand this principle, but alas..."

Odin looked at Loki and slowly began to teach him, trying to pull him back from the wrong path.

However, at this moment, Loki acted like a child going through a rebellious phase.

He stared angrily at Odin.

"Why don't you understand me? All of this is for you, for Asgard, for the hundreds of thousands of people living here!"

"Ha, it must be because of Thor. From childhood to adulthood, you've only ever had eyes for him, as if I weren't even his brother, your son!"

An enraged Loki points at Odin, venting his anger at being ignored since childhood.

"Loki, that's enough!"

Frigga finally couldn't stand it anymore and spoke up to stop Loki.

"Hmph! One day, I will prove to myself that you are all wrong, and that I am more suitable to inherit the throne of Asgard than that foolish brother."

The next moment, Loki turned and left without hesitation.

……

The main hall was completely silent.

After a long while, Odin finally spoke softly.

"How is Thor?"

"He was seriously injured, but his life was not in danger. In fact, the divine power within him was constantly increasing, repairing his damaged body."

"Perhaps when he wakes up next time, he will be even stronger than before."

Frigga spoke up, explaining Saul's current predicament.

"That's good. It's a pity, though. I don't know if he can truly recover from these repeated failures."

Odin wasn't worried about Thor's physical injuries, but rather his mental state—whether he could accept his defeat.

"Fortunately, you're here."

Odin looked at Frigga, as if giving her a message.

"Is there really no other way?"
