Even if he wanted to use Odin's Sleep to stabilize the growing power within him, he had to forcefully awaken in this critical situation of his brothers falling apart.
The forced awakening also caused Odin's internal power to become even more chaotic.
"Darling, why are you awake? You need to stabilize the power within your body now."
Frigga was startled to see Odin awake and quickly said something.
"Cough cough~ If I go back to sleep now, given Loki's personality, one of them will probably die."
"Frigga, I don't think you'd want to see this either."
After Odin awoke, upon hearing Frigga's words, he coughed, sat up, and slowly spoke.
He wanted to sleep, but his two sons were both a handful.
"Go quickly and come back quickly."
Frigga felt a mix of emotions and heartache upon hearing Thor's words. After hesitating for a moment, she spoke.
With his wife's consent, Odin nodded, stood up, and the armor of the god-king appeared on his body. He then began his journey to the Rainbow Bridge.
Thor could guess Loki's thoughts, and Odin could naturally guess them too.
When Odin arrived, Loki and Thor were having a heated argument on the Rainbow Bridge.
"Why have you become so weak after just one trip to Earth?"
"As long as Jotunheim is destroyed, the borders of Asgard will be safe forever."
Loki roared at Thor as his plans were ruined.
“Loki, I already know your desire to be my equal.”
"But there is more than one way to ensure that no one dares to violate the dignity of Asgard than to exterminate the entire race."
Thor, seeing Loki's increasingly obsessive state, earnestly tried to persuade him.
"What could be a more efficient and reliable method than complete eradication?"
"Are you suggesting that we can solve this by joining forces? Don't be ridiculous."
"If the Frost Giants really do return, can you guarantee that the people of Asgard will be safe from any harm if you want to defeat them?"
Answer me!
Upon hearing Thor's words, Loki responded with a heartfelt question.
He didn't understand before why, as sons of the same king, there was such a huge gap between his power and Thor's.
After learning the truth, he understood that he was born a frost giant.
This is an inherent deficiency; unlike Thor, he does not possess innate strength that ordinary people cannot match.
Therefore, he wanted to be like Thor, to be supported by the people of Asgard, and to gain the approval of his father and mother.
To obtain these things, he must accomplish a great feat worthy of being sung about by countless people in Asgard.
Completely destroying Jotunheim and eradicating the possibility of the Frost Giants returning to invade Asgard would certainly be a legendary feat.
Even if Thor had returned, he wouldn't have been that worried.
He believed that Thor's idea should be the same as his own: to eradicate the potential threat posed by Jotunheim.
But to everyone's surprise, Thor changed completely in less than half a month after arriving on Earth.
Chapter 163 What I Saw With My Own Eyes
"With my power, your magic, and Father's presence, we will surely be able to protect the peace of Asgard."
Why can't you understand?
"My father has protected the peace of Asgard for so many years."
“We can do the same thing if it gets to us.”
"If you wish to be king, the throne can be yours."
Thor, seeing Loki's hysterical outburst and desperate need for his approval, felt a pang of heartache and spoke up.
"Brother, you know you're willing to be humble towards me; you've always been like that."
"But my father has never accepted me the way he has accepted you."
Loki's heart skipped a beat upon hearing these words, and he exclaimed loudly.
“We can think of other ways to help you gain your father’s approval.”
“Come with me, Loki.”
Thor saw Loki's body tremble slightly, knowing that his words had worked, and he reached out his hand and spoke.
"..."
Loki's conviction wavered after feeling Thor's heartfelt emotions.
But at that moment, the shaky Rainbow Bridge began to collapse, and Loki lost his footing and fell straight down.
Upon seeing this, Thor, in a moment of panic, immediately leaped up and grabbed Loki's hand.
The Rainbow Bridge began to shake violently, and just as the two were about to fall, Odin grabbed Thor's hand.
"Father, quickly pull us up."
Thor looked up and saw it was his father, and quickly called out.
However, Odin looked at the two of them without saying anything, and instead looked at Loki at the bottom.
Although he was in Odin's slumber, he could hear everything around him clearly.
Loki actually ordered the Destroyer to kill Thor. If Loki doesn't get some punishment for doing something like that, then...
Loki is unlikely to realize his own mistakes, and proper separation is beneficial for the growth of both brothers.
Loki sensed his father's gaze and immediately understood. He struggled free from Thor's grasp and fell into the starry sky below.
"Loki!"
Thor, seeing Loki's actions, shouted in disbelief.
Loki smiled when he saw Thor's reaction.
Then, Odin pulled Thor up from the Rainbow Bridge.
"Don't worry, he won't die."
"Although he is not my biological son, he is still my son."
After Odin helped Thor up, he looked at Thor, who was somewhat dejected, and spoke.
"Father...why don't you tell Loki these things?"
Thor heard his father's words and looked up at him.
“I told him, but he only recently learned about his background and his thinking is somewhat extreme, so he doesn’t believe me at all.”
“He has not made any mistakes in front of me, he is just a little unruly, so I cannot banish him to the mortal world as I have done to you.”
"Now that we have a rare opportunity, it's appropriate to let him leave Asgard temporarily."
"Only by experiencing things outside and growing can he understand things."
"When you see Loki in other worlds in the future, be nice to him."
"He may be full of malice towards others, but he is absolutely willing to protect Asgard."
Odin sighed upon hearing this and spoke.
Over the years, he could be said to have treated Loki like his own son.
The reason the throne was chosen for Thor was not only because he was the eldest son, but also because he was more beloved by the people of Asgard.
He could see that Loki was mischievous by nature, but his heart was not bad towards Asgard.
To become the king of Asgard, one must be loved by the people and possess sufficient abilities.
Loki was not his biological son, and even though Frigga compensated him by teaching him magic, Loki's growth in power was much slower.
Loki will need to go through a much longer period of time to fully mature.
His health is deteriorating daily, and he will soon decide who will become the King of Asgard based on their reputation and strength.
He was originally at ease letting Thor be king, so he could retire and enjoy his retirement.
However, just when Thor was about to take over the throne, he caused him a huge mess.
The immense power he wielded forced him into Odin's Sleep.
Now he was forced to awaken, causing the chaotic forces within him to constantly impact his body.
Knowing that he would soon die, Odin felt a pang of melancholy.
These are things I can't talk about with others; I've had to keep them bottled up inside.
Hopefully, he'll live long enough to see Thor and Loki reconcile.
“I understand, Father.”
Upon hearing his father's words, Saul understood his father's intentions.
"Thor, I need to enter Odin's Sleep for a while longer."
"But let's talk before I go back to sleep."
Odin then walked along the road and spoke.
"Yes, Father, what would you like to talk about?"
Thor nodded upon hearing this and followed.
“I sent you out to gain experience, and you’re back so soon.”
What exactly happened that led to your growth?
Odin and his son Thor did not fly, but walked step by step.
"I received help from some people and realized that your sending me down to the mortal realm was both punishment and a trial, to make me understand the mission I bear."
