I evolve infinitely in the Marvel world...

Upon hearing Loki's words, Odin felt immense relief and laughed heartily.

Odin's voice was so loud that anyone could hear the joy in it.

"So, Thor, are you ready to be king?"

Odin then looked directly at Thor and asked.

"I cannot say that I am fully ready to be king."

"Because compared to you, my strength is still insufficient."

"But I have done everything I can to prepare myself."

"I will discuss things thoroughly with Loki before taking any action."

"I will never again act in such a irrational and ignorant manner in a fit of rage."

Thor replied seriously upon hearing this.

He should have taken the throne a few years ago, but he was not mature enough at the time.

Because of a moment of impulsiveness, he started an ancient war, which caused him to miss out on the throne.

But now he has matured and reconciled with Loki.

"Confident but not arrogant, that's good."

"The succession ceremony will be held in three days."

Odin looked at Thor with approval upon seeing his response.

Saul's words were not just humble, but also a display of confidence.

This is also the kind of character and style that Odin had long hoped Thor would possess.

Chapter 495 I Will Live Up to the Responsibility

Three days later.

Asgard held a grand coronation ceremony.

"From this day forward, Thor Odinson will become the new king of Asgard, and will rule Asgard in my place."

Accompanied by Odin's declaration.

Under the watchful eyes of countless Asgardian soldiers and citizens.

The heavens and earth began to rumble, dark clouds filled the sky, and thunder roared.

With a deafening boom, a terrifying golden bolt of lightning, stretching from heaven to earth, struck down.

The world was bathed in dazzling golden light.

The terrifying spectacle shocked countless people in Asgard.

Amidst the golden lightning, Thor Odinson emerged, and a bridge of lightning appeared in the sky, demonstrating his great divine power.

The countless citizens and soldiers of Asgard watched the majestic figure descend step by step from the bridge above, their hearts trembling.

Odin's eyes widened in amazement as he witnessed Thor's masterful control over the thunder.

As expected, his judgment was correct; Thor's talent was no less than his.

"I will live up to my father's expectations and do everything in my power to continue the glory of Asgard."

Thor came before Odin, knelt on one knee, and received the power symbolizing the throne from Odin, the king of the gods.

Its sound was like thunder, resounding throughout the heavens and earth, and its righteous spirit was awe-inspiring.

When Valkyrie heard this deafening and soul-shaking, domineering sound, she looked up at the majestic figure on the altar, and her mind was also greatly shaken.

She could clearly sense that Thor Odinson's strength, after more than a year apart, was far greater than when they met in the Void.

"Guardian Heimdall swears allegiance to the new King Thor Odinson, for the king's command is above all else."

When Heimdall, standing to the side of the altar, saw Thor receive the authority, he immediately knelt on one knee in a knightly salute, declaring his loyalty.

Although Thor is young, his strength is not to be underestimated.

Moreover, he knew Thor's character; he was a pure-hearted person with a strong sense of justice.

Now that Thor has spent some time training abroad, his personality has become more composed. Coupled with his current power, there is no doubt that he will become the new king of Asgard.

"We swear allegiance to Thor Odinson, the God of Thunder, for the king's command is above all else."

The gods and soldiers of Asgard, along with Heimdall's oath of allegiance, all knelt down in unison.

Thor's reputation in Asgard has always been second only to Odin, the king of the gods.

Now that he has been personally appointed by Odin, the king of the gods, to take the throne, it is a popular choice.

"Loki Odinson, the god of mischief."

"I will appoint you as Prince Protector of the Kingdom, and you will serve Asgard from now on as Thor's right-hand man. Are you willing?"

Odin smiled with satisfaction upon seeing the orderly oaths of allegiance, but his expression soon turned serious.

As the starlight flashed, Loki's figure appeared, landing on the altar two steps behind Thor, and kneeling down.

Loki, obey.

Regardless of their true intentions, this gesture left a certain impression on the countless people of Asgard.

At least superficially, it has been proven that Loki had no objection to the mandate.

"The future of Asgard will be handed over to you brothers."

"I hope that you brothers working together will not disappoint me, and even less disappoint the people of Asgard."

"Never forget that a king is born alongside his people; without his people, there will be no king."

A relieved smile appeared on Odin's aged face as he handed a sword of authority to Loki.

He and Frigga will then begin their retirement.

If he fakes his death, he can lure Hela into causing Thor and Loki to suffer a great ordeal, thus winning over more of Asgard's hearts.

He can then retire peacefully and do whatever he wants.

He entrusted the heavy responsibility that had weighed on him for tens of thousands of years to his two proud sons, which meant that he was now free.

Following the grand succession ceremony, a week-long celebration will take place.

Once Odin, the king of the gods, left the altar and was out of sight of his soldiers and subjects, his aged appearance immediately began to regain its youthful look.

The body, which had become less upright due to age, immediately straightened up and became majestic.

"We are free."

Odin immediately put his arm around Frigga's waist.

"At least you can be happy secretly after you get back."

“If your sons see this, they might feel resentful.”

Frigga nestled in Odin's arms without any resistance, and rolled her eyes at him when she heard his seemingly delighted words.

"What's there to feel resentful about?"

"Their father, I, was king for tens of thousands of years."

"Asgard is not at its peak now, but it is still a peaceful and prosperous country."

"It's not like we left them with a mess to clean up."

"Moreover, as my sons, it is their duty to carry on their father's work."

"If they want to abdicate, they should get married sooner and pass the throne to the next generation."

"Then I will not have any complaints against them."

Odin replied with an air of self-righteousness.

"..."

Thor and Loki's hearing is now many times better than before, and they were speechless after hearing their father's words.

The two had considered getting married and having children early, and then letting the next generation take over Asgard.

However, marriage is a lifelong commitment, and it's not something that can be done just by saying so.

Although the rules in Asgard are not so strict that one can only marry one wife.

However, Thor, as the new king of Asgard, was revered by countless people.

As king, he could only rightfully marry one woman, and his wife would become a goddess.

Although as the new king he could change the rules of Asgard, he was not a god like Zeus who lacked ethics and morality.

Humans care about their reputation, just as trees care about their bark; God values ​​his reputation even more.

Moreover, the comparison between the new king and the old king is always an inevitable occurrence.

His recently retired father and mother serve as role models.

If he, as the new king, were to have a chaotic private life right from the start, wouldn't that make him a laughingstock among his countless subjects?

Loki is not a king, so it's not a problem for him to have multiple wives, but only if the women meet his standards.

At least for now, Loki is more interested in honing his Void powers and magic than getting married.

If he has any desires for women, he can just go to the Xandar Star Celebrity Hotel from time to time to enjoy himself and that will be the end of it.

And even if he wanted to marry her, his brother Saul probably wouldn't agree.

Once he, as a prince, gets married, he will not only be pressured to marry by his father and mother, but by the entire nation.

Neither of them is willing to compromise, so the matter of stepping down will have to wait and see.

※※※※※※※

Above the blue planet.

Harvey watched as Thor and Loki of Asgard took over the responsibility of protecting Asgard.

The two have indeed grown significantly, and Thor's strength can now truly be called top-tier.
