Thor's eyes widened in disbelief when he heard that Hela was the previous owner of Mjolnir.
"To wield Thor's hammer, one needs the blessing of a righteous heart, which I set up to hone you."
"The original Thor's hammer did not require testing one's conscience for justice and responsibility."
"That's why I initially didn't realize Hela was so cruel."
Odin spoke slowly upon hearing Thor's words.
Thor and Loki exchanged bewildered glances upon hearing that no verification was required.
"Then why can't I pick it up?"
Loki also had some doubts after hearing these words.
"Thor's hammer before it received my additional blessing."
"To wield Thor's hammer requires a great deal of divine power."
"If one lacks divine power, even if one obtains Mjolnir, one will be unable to unleash its power due to the lack of divine power."
“You are my adopted child, although I have bestowed upon you a great deal of divine power.”
"It has given you more divine power than most people in Asgard since you were a child."
"But the divine power within you still cannot compare to that of Hela or Thor."
"Therefore, it's normal that you can't lift Thor's hammer."
"If you wish to possess greater power to resist external enemies, I can allow you to use the Frost Treasure Box."
"But it must never be used to wreak havoc on the Nine Realms and Asgard."
"Also, if you want to maintain the current appearance, you cannot use it frequently."
When Odin heard Loki's question, he explained it in detail and granted Loki the right to take the Ice Casket from the vault in the future.
In fact, Odin never hesitated to grant his two sons, Loki and Loki, the latter being adopted, the right to use certain artifacts.
Of all his treasures, the Ice Casket was undoubtedly the most suitable for Loki.
"Yes... If there is an insurmountable enemy, I will definitely use the Frost Casket to protect Asgard."
Hearing his father's tone, which sounded like he was giving his final instructions, Loki's suspicions grew even stronger.
“Father, please continue. Why did you erase all traces of my sister Hela’s existence?”
Thor didn't mind that Loki had gained the right to use another artifact.
Odin, upon hearing this, continued to recount the past.
"Back when I was in my prime, I joined forces with Hela and led the Asgardian soldiers Hela and the Valkyrie Legion to conquer the Nine Realms."
"Participated in many wars, eliminating or suppressing numerous enemies."
"The Valkyrie Legion's invincible reputation was also established during that period."
"That was also the period when Asgard's fame was at its peak."
"No matter which world or person in the universe they come from, they all have to give Asgard some respect."
"But after I ruled the Nine Realms, the constant wars left me mentally and physically exhausted."
"We also realize that the more world we rule, the more we are admired and respected, but it also means that we must provide certain protection."
"And in war after war, the Valkyrie Legion, Hela, and I were all relatively unharmed."
"But repeated wars inevitably caused heavy losses to the soldiers of Asgard."
"So I had the idea of stopping the pace of conquering the world and starting to govern the country with benevolence."
"Let Asgard begin to plan for a more stable life."
Back then, he believed that his strength was omnipotent and that he could conquer everything, so he ruled one world after another.
However, as Asgard ruled over more and more worlds, Odin realized that while power was indispensable for establishing a kingdom of gods, power was not everything.
Having ruled over worlds, Odin naturally bore some responsibilities, and it was at that time that he realized the heavy burden he carried was no small matter.
If he doesn't stop, no matter how many worlds he rules, he will never become a qualified king.
"Their power is too great to manage, so wouldn't it be better to just give in to their demands?"
Thor heard things from his father that he didn't know before, but he also understood and supported this approach.
Loki shared the same sentiment, realizing that protecting the nine worlds was no easy task for Asgard.
The soldiers of each Asgardian are constantly traveling to different worlds. If there are more than nine worlds, then it is impossible to protect them all.
"But your sister Hela doesn't think so."
"She felt that Asgard had the power to crush other worlds, so she wanted to continue expanding its territory and make Asgard rule as many worlds as possible."
"May the rest of the worlds completely submit to Asgard."
“We disagreed, so we had a falling out, and I banished her from Asgard.”
"But Hela's warlike nature and terrible ambition still made her unwilling to rest, and she tried to incite the soldiers of Asgard to continue their wars."
"I had no choice but to send the Valkyrie Legion to subdue her, hoping to bring her back and figure out what to do with her."
"But I never expected that Hela would show no mercy and wipe out the Valkyrie army."
"In the end, I had to take matters into my own hands, stripping him of his divine power and banishing him to Midgard (the Earth).
"Because what she did was so wicked."
"If this news spreads widely, it will affect the hearts of the people of Asgard, and Asgard's reputation will be damaged as a result."
"Therefore I erased all traces of Hela."
Odin, upon hearing this, fully explained the whole story.
When Thor and Loki learned that Hela was indeed the culprit behind the Valkyrie Legion's annihilation, their hearts were filled with shock and disbelief.
Such a scandal is already a family disgrace, and we have to find a way to cover it up.
"Having been stripped of her divine power for so many years, has she ever repented?"
Having only heard that Hela had been stripped of her divine powers and banished, Thor seemed to recall something and asked.
"Possesses the ambition to conquer the universe and is ruthless enough to annihilate the Valkyrie army."
“I don’t think she’s likely to feel remorse; she’s more likely to feel hatred.”
Loki, upon hearing Thor's question, shared his opinion.
"Ah~!"
Odin sighed deeply upon hearing Loki's words.
"..."
This sigh undoubtedly acknowledged Loki's words, leaving Thor with incredibly complex emotions.
If it were him, even if the Asgardian soldiers wanted to capture him, he could at most drive them away but wouldn't kill them.
The Valkyrie Legion once fought alongside Hela, conquering various worlds, yet they were able to kill the Valkyrie Legion. Indeed, when women go mad, they are completely irrational.
“I’m telling you this not just because you’ve discovered it.”
"Also, you need to be wary of Hela."
"Her source of power is Asgard."
"As long as Asgard is not destroyed, even if she is stripped of her divine power, she will still have the power to maintain her life and keep herself from dying."
"If she regains her divine power and returns to Asgard, the consequences will be unimaginable."
Thor, seeing the silent Thor and the thoughtful Loki, spoke up.
"Without your approval, how can she regain her divine power?"
Thor was somewhat taken aback by these words.
"Father..."
Loki's eyes narrowed when he heard this almost explicit statement, and he hesitated to speak.
"Since we've talked about these things today, let's make things clearer."
"The divine power within me has already surged to the point that I myself have difficulty controlling it freely."
"Odin's Sleep would have given me better control."
"But due to some accidents, I was forced to wake up from Odin's sleep three times."
"I couldn't withstand the increasingly intense divine power, so to avoid my body being directly destroyed by it."
"Afterwards, I will surely lose my divine power, and at my age, I will soon reach the end of my life."
"Moreover, given the rampage of divine power within me, it will likely only last for the next year or two at most."
Odin, seeing that Loki had noticed something, spoke slowly.
"Father, you're not joking with us, are you?"
“It’s not funny to joke about life and death…”
When Thor heard the news, he couldn't accept it for a moment and tried to get his father to admit that it was just a joke.
Thor saw his father, whose hair was gray, face was full of wrinkles, and hands were also covered with wrinkles.
Even though she couldn't accept it, she knew that her father would never joke about something like this.
"Sorry……"
When Loki heard that he had to interrupt Odin's slumber due to an accident, his eyes trembled, and he lowered his head, apologizing with immense guilt.
He realized that it was because of his previous misdeeds that his father could not rest in peace.
"Life will eventually come to an end, and even if we were gods, we could not live forever."
"My demise is only the demise of my body, but my soul will return to Valhalla."
"So my separation from you is only temporary, and we will meet again in the future."
"You're still young, it's normal for brothers to quarrel and fight, so don't take it too seriously."
