In the heart of the city stands the Crystal Palace, adorned with enormous crystals, a truly magnificent sight.

today.

Inside the royal palace of Asgard, a great commotion erupted as everyone cheered for Thor Odinson, the crown prince of Asgard.

Thor himself, dressed in imposing armor and holding his hammer, walked forward amidst the welcoming crowd, looking smug and heroic, yet slightly frivolous.

Odin stood below the throne, watching Thor below accept the cheers and make funny faces. He didn't say anything, but pursed his lips.

Thor walked to Odin's throne, knelt down, took off his helmet, and immediately looked at his mother, the goddess Frigga, and winked.

Frigga couldn't help but glare at Thor.

Today is a big day, why are you acting like a child?

"boom!"

Odin, wielding the eternal spear Gungnir, gently struck it.

The jubilant shouts immediately fell silent.

“Thor Odinson!” Odin looked at Thor beneath his throne and said, “My heir…”

Loki, the god of mischief, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but show a hint of displeasure on his face.

“My eldest son,” Odin proclaimed, “the mighty hammer of Thor has long been entrusted to you. Forged from the core of a dying star, its power is unparalleled. It is a weapon of destruction, and also a tool of construction, befitting the status of a king.”

"From the very beginning of time, I have protected Asgard and the innocent lives of the Nine Kingdoms, but this day has come..."

Just as Odin was giving his speech.

Beneath the Temple of Odin, two guards responsible for patrolling Odin's Treasury were on patrol as usual, but they did not notice that a section of the barrier behind them had been frozen in ice.

Odin looked down at Thor and asked, "Have you sworn an oath to protect the Nine Kingdoms?"

Thor: "I swear."

Odin: "Have you sworn an oath to maintain peace?"

Thor: "I swear."

Odin: "Do you swear to abandon all selfish ambitions and do only what is good for the kingdom?"

Thor raised Mjolnir: "I swear!"

Odin: "So today, I, Odin, the Allfather, declare you..."

In an instant.

Odin paused in his speech.

His only remaining eye shone with divine light:

"Frost Giant?"

Inside Odin's vault, two Asgardian guards were pierced through the body by blades of ice.

Three beings with bodies as cold as ice rushed toward Odin's vault, toward a box that emitted a ghostly blue light.

The Casket of Frost, a powerful artifact, was originally a sacred relic of the Frost Giants, created by the ancient giant Ymir. It allows its wielder to unleash massive blizzards, and it is said that the Casket of Frost contains the power of a thousand winters. Later, it was seized by Odin and placed in Odin's Treasury.

Odin, holding the eternal spear Gungnir, gently struck it once more.

next moment.

Inside Odin's vault, a suit of armor emerged from the rock wall.

—The Destroyer, crafted from Asgardian Uru metal, is virtually indestructible and capable of destroying all known matter. It is an armored robot that can be autonomously or manually controlled, powered by Odin and other Earth gods. Its face can emit a continuous beam of extremely high temperature, capable of melting almost any substance, and it can also transform. It was built by Odin to protect Earth from an invasion by the Celestials.

Facing the frost giant who was stealing the Ice Casket, the Destroyer instantly unleashed a burst of orange-yellow energy.

Extremely fast.

The frost giant that was hit was instantly vaporized.

Only the Ice Box remained, lying on the ground.

After eliminating the invaders, the Destroyer returned to the rock wall.

Odin, along with Thor and Loki, hurried to Odin's Treasury.

Seeing the Asgardian guards killed, Thor couldn't help but roar in anger:

"The Frost Giants must pay the price for what they have done!"

Odin looked at the Ice Casket and said, "They have paid the price with their lives. The Destroyer has fulfilled its duty. The Ice Casket is safe, so all is well."

"Everything's alright?" Thor protested. "They stormed Odin's vaults. What if the Frost Giants stole even a single treasure..."

Odin emphasized, "They didn't!"

Thor couldn't understand why Odin was so lenient with the Frost Giants: "I want to know why?"

Odin said, "I have a truce with Laufey, the Frost Giant King."

Thor: "He just broke the truce himself."

Odin turned to Thor and asked, "So what action are you planning to take?"

Thor said, “Like you did, march into Jotunheim and teach them a lesson. Frighten them so they will never dare to invade again.”

Odin: "You're only thinking from a warrior's perspective. They're just a small group, their actions are doomed to failure... There's no need to make a big fuss."

Thor: "Look where they've all gone! This is Odin's Treasury, the most secret place in all of Asgard!"

Odin: "We will find the vulnerabilities in the defenses and fix them."

Thor: "As the King of Asgard..."

Odin was also enraged:

"But you are not king! Not yet..."

Thor was so angry at Odin's retort that he gritted his teeth but dared not retaliate.

Odin looked at Thor with nothing but disappointment, then turned and left.

Loki was dressed as Bambi, his eyes full of innocence.

"what--!!!"

Thor returned to his palace, writhing in a fit of impotent rage, smashing things wildly and overturning a long dining table in his fury.

Exhausted from smashing, he could only sit helplessly on the steps.

Because within Asgard, no one can defy Odin, the king of the gods.

If the coronation ceremony had continued and he had been crowned king, he might have been able to control Asgard to punish the Frost Giants. However, he fell short; Odin remained the supreme king of Asgard.

Thor, who was sitting on the steps, heard footsteps behind him.

Looking back.

It was his own brother, Loki.

"It's unwise for you to come and keep me company now, little brother."

Thor said angrily:

"Today should have been my day of glory!"

Loki said softly, "That day will come, sooner or later."

"What's going on here?"

The Warriors Three of Asgard—Fandar, Volstagg, and Hogan—along with Thor's love interest Sif, arrived at Thor's palace.

“If saying this comforts you, then I think you’re right,” Loki said. “About the Frost Giants, about Laufey, about everything, if they manage to break through Asgard’s defenses once, who can guarantee they won’t come back with an army next time?”

Thor nodded repeatedly: "That's right."

Loki: "But any action you take will go against the will of the King..."

As they spoke, their eyes met.

A spark flashed.

Loki immediately said, "No, no, no, I know what you're up to now..."

Thor: "This is the only way to ensure our defenses are secure!"

Loki: "Thor, you're going crazy."

Vostagg walked in and asked curiously:

"Going mad? What level of madness?"

Thor said with a very serious expression, "We're going to Jotunheim!"

"What!?" Fandral exclaimed, "This isn't like going to Earth. In Jotunheim, you can just summon some lightning and thunder, and humans will worship you like a god. This is Jotunheim!!"

Thor said, “My father marched all the way into Jotunheim, defeated their army, and took their Ice Casket. We are now just going to seek an answer.”

Sif said, "But we cannot enter Jotunheim without the King's order!"

"Friends, have you forgotten what we did together?" Thor walked over with a malicious smile. "Fandar, Hogan, who led you into the most glorious battle?"

"It's you!"

"Volstagg, who gave you such delicious food that you felt like you were in heaven, as if you had ascended to Valhalla?"

"It's you."

“That’s right.” Thor slapped Volstagg hard on the shoulder, then walked over to Sif: “And who proved all those who thought a girl couldn’t be the kingdom’s most mighty warrior wrong?”

Sif: "It's me!"

Thor: "..."

"Indeed, but I'll always support you, Sif!"

Thor turned around and said firmly:

"Friends..."

We're going to Jotunheim!

Thor is clearly the kind of stubborn person who, once he decides to do something, will do it anyway.
