The Death Knell

The chaos lasted for several minutes, and was finally calmed down by Frigga's intervention.

Loki's clothes were in tatters, as if he had been ravaged, and he stood aside aggrievedly.

Baldur was still angry, but he was hugged from behind by Thor, unable to move.

"I'm very disappointed. Why do you brothers have conflicts at this time? And it's in front of everyone." Tian Hou was expressionless, and everyone could feel it from her calm voice, which must be despair.

The God of Cunning lowered his head in a rare move. He suddenly felt a little sorry for his mother. She had always loved him, but just now he had borrowed her name.

But you can give in to other things, but not this matter! Thor cannot be given up to Baldur!

"I'm right, mother. I just want to compensate my eldest brother who has returned home. I am the God King and I am fully qualified to arrange this."

Thor, who was holding Baldur tightly in his arms, couldn't help but nodded. Loki was right. This is indeed the right of the God-King to grant marriages to brave warriors and let the glorious blood spread and multiply as much as possible. Odin passed by This is also done.

After his identity was exposed, he also mentioned it when chatting with Jane. After hearing this, she thought it was Nazi genetic eugenics, but Thor explained that Asgard has its own national conditions.

The God-King is also called Heavenly Father. He is not only the father of Thor and other brothers, but also the father of all Asa Protoss. As for marriage, you either have to grab whoever you like, or you have to follow the father's arrangements.

He wanted to marry Jane, but Odin wouldn't let him. He insisted on marrying Sif. Thor had no choice but to hide on Sakaar and never come back.

But he didn't take action against the God King because of this.

It doesn't matter that Baldr doesn't want to marry those brave ladies. Granting marriage doesn't tarnish his glory. Why would he attack Loki? It doesn't make sense.

Feeling Thor's hairy head behind him moving up and down wildly, Balder looked at the sky speechlessly. His brother was still so slow, it was simply...

The key to the whole thing is not the wedding, but Loki using the power of the God King to do whatever he wants.

Dusk has come and the army is approaching the city. At this time, he is still thinking about granting marriages to people, and even mobilized fifty powerful female warriors. They were supposed to kill enemies on the battlefield in exchange for glory.

The whole thing, plus the things Hela said before, are not what a god king should do.

"Mother, please listen to me." Balder took a deep breath and shrugged to signal Thor to let go of him. He would not do anything again: "I think Loki is not suitable to continue to govern in this special period. , I, Odin’s son, Baldr, challenge him to a duel of glory to compete for the throne of God King!”

Thor let go of his hand in surprise. He had only heard of the glorious duel for the position of God King in stories. It was said that this was how Odin and the Orochi decided the dominance of Asgard.

Odin won, so he was the God-King.

Orochi and Surtur still lost in the sneak attack, because they lost two against one and lost their honor, so both of them were sealed which was equivalent to going to jail.

It's just that that incident happened too long ago. At that time, Asgard hadn't even been at war with Vanaheim, and the queen hadn't even married here.

Not to mention myself, she was never born at all. Her biological mother was Gaia, a common wife who came into the family a few years after Frigga and Odin got married.

The Queen, who was surrounded by the shield girls in the crowd, was silent for a while, as if she was experiencing a serious ideological struggle. She lowered her head and stared at the foot on her side. After a while, she raised her head and asked her son:

"Loki, do you accept this duel? This is a life-and-death fight with no limits. Regardless of failure or rejection, you will lose your position as the God King. This is the rule."

The God of Cunning was silent. After all, he was still young and did not know as much as Baldr. He was caught off guard by the other party taking advantage of the information gap.

Could it be that the position of God King can be snatched?

Yes, if you fancy someone else's horse, you can snatch it; if you fancy someone else's daughter, you can snatch it; if you fancy someone else's house, you can also snatch it...

In Asgard, an honorable duel and robbery is an act of honor. There is no reason why the position of God King cannot be snatched. On the contrary, this is still a super stud who puts all the honors on it, the kind that wins and loses.

But now comes the problem.

If he couldn't bring out the mistletoe in front of so many people, then Baldr would be equivalent to being invincible.

Recall what happened back then. He gave the mistletoe twig to Hodr, who was a blind man. He threw the branch, and the branch turned into an evergreen sword in the air, killing Balder.

Therefore, all the gods in Asgard believe that Baldr was killed by a sword. At most, only Odin and Frigga know about the mistletoe, and they also include themselves as the mastermind.

Now if I use the mistletoe to restrain my elder brother and defeat him, wouldn't it be the same as asking for trouble? Carrying the stigma of murdering his brother, he also couldn't become a god king.

There is no way he can win this battle... He obviously has a plan that might be able to save Thor and his mother but has not yet implemented it. He has to wait until chaos comes to implement his fake death plan!

I can’t lose my position as the God King, what should I do?

By the way, according to Asgard's rules, he can let the shield girl participate in the duel on his behalf. I wonder if it is too late to recruit the shield girl now?

Yes, Loki has no girlfriend, no wife, and no shield maiden. He only has his brother Thor.

The God of Cunning swept the whole place, and there was no woman who could rival Badr. At this moment, he suddenly missed his eldest sister Hela extremely much. If she were here, he might have to stay in the position of God King. Much better than the current situation.

He was silent. A person who is good at planning is at his weakest when everyone is staring at him.

Frigga waited for a while, and when she saw that Loki had nothing to do, she could only sigh: "Hand over Gungnir and go to the cell yourself."

"Mother, I have a way to save everyone! I may be able to avoid the tragedy of Ragnarok, which Baldr can't do!" Loki held the magic gun tightly in his arms, unwilling to let go, just like a child unwilling to take out own toys.

But the queen shook her head. She couldn't even bear to look at her son anymore, but sighed: "Guard, take Loki to the prison. He has gone crazy. Ragnarok is an inevitable fate. We should all be honorable." Fight to the death, not live in vain."

Loki glanced at his mother sadly, and the Gungnir in his hand slowly fell. The golden weapon fell on the black snow without making any sound, only silence.

He was picked up by two guards and headed towards the underground prison of the Golden Palace. Frigga was silent for a while, then walked over and picked up the gun, turned around and handed it into Badr's hand:

"You are the God King now, my child, lead everyone to gain glory."

The God of Light nodded seriously, knowing the great responsibility. He took a deep breath, raised the magic gun high above his head, turned around and shouted:

"For Asgard!"
