American Comics: Trading Tom Cat

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is one more small matter. May I ask which two are Mr. Loki and Mr. Thor? Your Majesty would like to invite them."

Loki's face nearly contorted in horror. Why now?!

Fortunately, he still had a brain and knew what was more important. He glanced at the roasted spirit lamb and the premium beverage, gritted his teeth, and stood up.

He turned around and almost went crazy with anger!

God knows how much willpower he used to resist the delicious food, but Thor, that bastard, is already eating like crazy, his big head practically buried in the roasted spirit lamb.

His face twitched violently, he stepped forward, punched Thor and knocked him under the table, then grabbed one of Thor's legs and was about to leave.

Thor was going crazy: "No, no, no, damn it, Loki, my brother, let me go!"

"Idiot Thor, there are more important things to do now. Go visit your brother-in-law!"

"Damn Loki, anytime is fine."

"No, now!"

"Damn it, Loki, I hate you! You can't do this to me! You can't!!!" The pig-like screams lingered for a long time.

The group exchanged glances, then burst into laughter and joined the fray to grab the food.

With Thor's physique, you can tell he has a good appetite. Without a big eater, wouldn't it be more enjoyable for everyone to eat more?

As for Thor, who cares about that guy!

…………

A moment later, led by his servants, Loki dragged Thor, who looked like he was half-dead and hadn't been buried yet, into a luxurious room.

There were three people in the room: one man and two women. The man was lounging in a rocking chair, while the two women were also there. One woman was leaning against the man, feeding him fruit, while the other was gently massaging him.

Seeing this scene, even though he had expected it, Loki's lips twitched involuntarily. This guy really wasn't afraid of Odin, the God-King, at all.

"Loki, greetings, brother-in-law~" Loki said respectfully.

"Loki, do you know why you were left behind?"

Upon hearing this, Loki's eyes showed a hint of astonishment.

"Because I recommended you to your father Odin, I believe you are more suitable to be the king of Asgard than the one on earth."

Loki's eyes widened in surprise; he never expected it to be for this reason!

Soon, all the shock turned into gratitude, and the intense gratitude and excitement were almost overflowing.

No one had ever recognized him like that before, not even his mother, who was the kindest to him and the one he respected the most. She always told him to learn from that fool Thor and never said that he was better than Thor!

"Brother-in-law!" Loki's voice was distorted.

At this moment, Thor, who had somehow gotten up from the ground, patted Loki on the shoulder and said, "Loki, I've always known you're very capable. You're much smarter than me. You've tried to seduce me many times, but I've never managed to seduce you."

He was quite grateful at first, but then Loki's face started twitching uncontrollably.

Thank you so much, damn it, you didn't have to say those last few words!

Thor ignored Loki's gaze and turned to Locke: "That...strange guy, you're a very nice person. Few people would accept Loki, but I don't accept you as my brother-in-law yet, because I don't have a sister at all!!"

"Your sister's name is Hela."

“Hela? Never heard of her.” Thor remained stubborn.

"Sigh~" Locke shook his head. He hated explaining family legacy issues the most; it was so troublesome.

"Forget it, let's just leave it this way."

Locke stretched out a hand and made a sweeping motion in the air, instantly creating a green timeline.

As the timeline slowly took shape, a series of images emerged, and the two simpletons were quickly drawn to them.

The incomparably majestic Odin suppressed everything with absolute force, defeated one powerful enemy after another, and conquered countless territories. In the process, a valiant goddess made countless contributions to the war effort.

Just as Odin and the goddess were about to unify the nine realms and venture into the deeper universe, the scene went blank for a moment before reappearing. Odin, the king of the gods, suddenly attacked the goddess, completely suppressing and sealing her amidst her desperate and frantic roars.

"Is that our sister?" Loki looked at the scene before him with some confusion.

"more or less."

Loki was speechless. "It is or it isn't. What do you mean by 'almost'?"

"Impossible!" Thor was much more agitated than Loki.

"Absolutely impossible! How could Father seal away his own daughter with his own hands! I don't believe it!"

Loki fell silent. He didn't really want to believe it either, but he wasn't stupid; his brother-in-law had no reason to lie to them.

Locke shook his head: "You two idiots, how much do you really know about the universe? How much do you know about Odin at his peak? Most importantly, do you think there's no reason for that historical gap?"

Thor's eyes lit up, and he stepped forward, shouting, "Brother-in-law, please tell me the reason! What exactly caused Father to take action?"

Loki looked at Locke with anticipation.

"The reason is not hard to explain. Odin, the invincible god-king in your eyes, overstepped his bounds and got beaten up."

"Impossible!" Thor was about to explode again.

Locke's gaze fell upon him, instantly freezing him in place.

"Such a loud and boisterous person. No wonder Odin is still worried about you as his successor even though he's almost dead."

"Go and gain some experience, go to the Avengers, and be with them."

After saying that, without waiting for Thor's response, he slapped him back into the Avengers team.

Locke turned his gaze back to Loki.

"Loki, do you know the qualities necessary to become the King of Asgard?"

Loki fell into deep thought. He knew this was a test from his brother-in-law. If he didn't answer well, the throne of God-King would no longer be his.

After a moment, he raised his head again and said solemnly, "It is wisdom and strength!"

Locke nodded: "That's a good answer. Do you know how strong your brother Thor can eventually become?"

Loki looked up blankly.

Locke made another stroke, and images of the future reappeared, showing Thor's future experiences and powerful figures.

Awakened Thor, Elder Thor, Rune King Thor...

The sheer power of these Thors was enough to send shivers down Loki's spine; their strength was something he could never hope to attain.

Do you know which Thor is the strongest among them?

Loki fell silent again; he felt that both of them were very strong.

"It's this one, Rune King Thor."

Loki's eyes narrowed suddenly.

"Asgard is generally populated by warriors, but that doesn't mean you have to rely on warriors to become the strongest. Mages also have the same infinite possibilities for the future. If one day you comprehend all the Asgardian runes and become Loki, the Rune King, then you will completely surpass Thor."

"And in this respect, you have a greater advantage than Thor, don't you?"

Loki's eyes widened in shock. He had never known that his magical abilities, which he was so ashamed of, actually had such great potential!

"Furthermore, Loki, you've chosen the wrong path. Asgard reveres tangible power, and the most direct form of power is the elemental force. Loki, the god of fire, this is the path you should choose now, not some ridiculous god of trickery."

Loki's eyes lit up with eagerness, but it quickly vanished: "My talent in fire magic is not outstanding, not even as good as my illusion magic."

"No, no, no." Locke waved his hand: "This is precisely proof that you have a talent in fire that others cannot imagine."

Loki was filled with questions.

Locke raised his hand, and an ice-crystal-colored gauntlet appeared, a wisp of cold air spreading towards Loki.

Instantly, Loki's body reacted to the touch, and he transformed into an ice giant.

A mirror appeared in front of Loki, and Loki was completely dumbfounded when he saw the image in it.

"I'm actually a Frost Giant?"

"That depends on your perspective. For example, some people value the debt of gratitude for giving birth, while others value the debt of gratitude for raising children. Whichever you value more, that's the one you should choose."

Loki understood. He wasn't stupid to begin with. At this moment, he suddenly understood a lot. Why was his talent as a warrior so poor? Why did he always feel out of place with the other Asgardians?

Loki suddenly wanted to laugh, and he laughed, a very desolate and tragic laugh.

"So, 0.9 is the truth!"

"Alright, wipe away your tears. That's not what you need to worry about right now."

Loki obediently wiped away his tears. No matter what, Locke, the only one who acknowledged him and was now telling him the truth, was different in Loki's eyes.

"Now you understand why I said your fire talent is greater than others imagine."

"Understood." Loki wasn't stupid. He was a frost giant, yet his fire talent was only slightly inferior to illusion magic. If he weren't a frost giant and his fire talent were fully unleashed, he could very well reach Thor's level, no, surpass Thor's!

However, the Frost Giants are the truth, and it's impossible for them to suddenly become something else entirely.

Suddenly, Loki raised his head and looked intently at Locke.

Locke laughed: "You reacted pretty quickly."

"Now, tell me, do you want to be a pure Asgardian, or..."

“I choose the former!” Loki answered without hesitation.

"Then, as you wish!"

Crimson energy appeared at Locke's fingertips, and he pointed it at Loki out of thin air.

In an instant, Loki's entire body began to collapse and reform.

Just then, the phantom of Odin, the king of the gods, suddenly appeared, looking at Loki, who was undergoing reconstruction, with a somewhat complicated expression.

"How far can he go?"

"how could I know."

Odin, the king of the gods, twitched his face immediately: "Then what about your words just now?"

"Young people need a boost of motivation to really push themselves!"

"Once your third son gets into a rut, your second son will be forced to get into one too. Wouldn't that make them both outstanding? Wouldn't that be perfect?"

Odin, the king of the gods, stared wide-eyed at Locke, "Are you a devil?!"

"Don't look at me like that. The little money you gave me is enough for this."

Odin, the king of the gods, was speechless. Was he, the king of the gods, being looked down upon because of his wealth? Believe it or not, I'll bury you in money!

"Is this for real?"

Chapter 100: The Legendary Breathing Technique?

Odin stormed off, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger. Given his fiery temper, if he had encountered such an impolite fellow normally, he would have definitely summoned the Spear of Eternity to give him a piece of his mind.

Unexpectedly, Locke reacted even more strongly than him, and seemed to be waiting for him to draw his gun!

Don't think he didn't see it, you bastard! Your amazing gauntlets are almost impossible to hide!

That wretched brat, always trying to use him to test the divine weapon. It's just that he's too old to fight anymore, otherwise... humph!

Otherwise, I would definitely give him a good dressing down!

Locke was disappointed. "God King, my foot! Where's the majesty of a God King? Where's the pride of a God King? Come on, let's have a go!"

To be honest, Locke's most anticipated opponent is Odin, the king of gods. Once he has sparred with Odin, Locke will be able to roughly estimate the gap between himself and the lowest-tier individual. At that time, he will definitely have to find a group of gods to spar with.

But Odin just wouldn't make a move, wouldn't give him a good beating, he really didn't have the confidence.

After all, Odin had faced off against the Celestials head-on, making him the most valuable test subject.

At this moment, Loki's transformation was also in its final stage. As waves of intense heat gradually spread, the chaotic power that had been binding Loki gradually dissipated.

At this moment, Loki had 'swelled up' a lot. Compared to the lean and refined gentleman he used to be, he was now an athlete. Although he couldn't compare to Thor's explosive muscles, he was definitely much stronger than before.

Loki was clearly satisfied with his current appearance, kneading and rubbing him up and down, his face beaming with pure excitement.

"Okay, stop pinching. Your actions are really a bit perverted."

"Pfft." 10 Flash couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Loki scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. It has to be said that without the bloodline of the Frost Giants, the sinister and scheming aura about Loki had faded considerably.
