Chapter 141: Changes in Asgard
"When the crown and the flame are mixed, when the fire giant stands in the courtyard, when the Twilight Sword destroys Asgard, the twilight of the gods begins."
Thor, who was walking in the residential area of Asgard because of boredom, accidentally heard the poem sung by the bard in the square.
"Wait, what is this?" He squeezed in from the crowd and asked the bard who was holding the harp and singing the poem with some displeasure.
"Can I think you are spreading rumors?"
"Oh, it turned out to be the great Lord Thor."
The bard stopped plucking the harp, looked at Thor's outfit, and bowed slightly to him.
"Well, so can you tell me what nonsense you were talking about just now?" Thor asked the bard with a bad face.
"That?" The bard smiled and whispered to Thor: "It's just a long-standing prophecy poem."
"Twilight of the Gods? Prophecy poem?" Thor's face was full of absurdity: "What are you kidding? How come I have never heard of it?"
"But Lord Thor, these are the prophecy stories we have heard since we were young."
The onlookers looked at Thor with strange faces.
"Haven't you heard of it?"
Thor shook his head blankly, but then he heard the whispers of the onlookers.
"No wonder, Lord Thor is the eldest prince of Asgard after all, and every day he has banquets and cocktail parties."
"That's right."
Thor opened his mouth. His daily life is indeed banquets and cocktail parties, but this is based on every time he returns victorious from the battlefield.
At this time, Thor realized that he would be so unbearable in the eyes of the people of Asgard.
"Lord Thor."
Just when Thor wanted to explain the reason to the people around him, the bard interrupted Thor.
"If you are worried about this prophecy, then there is no need to worry." The bard smiled at Thor.
"After all, thousands of years ago, Lord Odin had defeated Surtur, the culprit of this prophecy, and hid its eternal fire deep in the treasure house of Asgard."
"Is it that simple?" Thor frowned.
As we all know, prophecies are often not groundless.
Especially for this kind of prophecy story that has been widely circulated.
Even if his father has defeated the guy named Surtur, it does not mean that the prophecy will not come true.
The most important reason is that after Thor heard this fable, he had a bad premonition in his heart.
The intuition in his heart directly told Thor that this kind of thing might really happen in Asgard.
"Sorry to interrupt your performance." Thor apologized to the bard slightly, and with worries in his heart, he quickly left the square and walked back to the direction of the Asgard.
The bard gently plucked the strings of the harp in his hand, and looked at Thor's back as he walked away, with a smile on his lips.
"Oh, it's really easy to fool you."
The onlookers around the bard also showed the same smile as the bard.
"It seems that the plan should be able to go smoothly."
The plural accent sounded in the square, causing passers-by around to be confused.
"Father!" Thor, who returned to the Asgard, looked at Odin, who was sitting on the throne and didn't know what he was thinking.
"What's wrong?" Odin held his head, looking very tired.
Thor did not notice Odin's discomfort, but asked him in confusion.
"Twilight of the Gods, have you heard of this prophecy?"
"Of course." Odin glanced at Thor and said lightly: "If you want to tell me whether this prophecy is true or not, I can tell you that it is true."
"It's just that many years ago, in order to prevent this prophecy from happening, I defeated Surtur and placed its eternal fire in the Odin treasury."
Is it the same as what the bard said?
"Then can you ensure that this prophecy will not happen?" Thor licked his lips and asked Odin.
"Isn't the reason why prophecy is called prophecy because of its foresight?" Odin sighed softly: "What I did was just to delay the occurrence of this process."
"What if," Thor said hesitantly: "I mean, if I kill the one named Surtur, can I also delay the occurrence of this process like you?"
"You are the prince of Asgard!" Odin heard what Thor said, and his brows couldn't help but frowned tightly.
"What you should do now is to learn from me how to govern a country and how to make the people of a country live and work in peace and contentment."
"I'm sorry, father." Thor shrugged at Odin and began to retreat outside the Asgard: "Obviously, I'm not cut out for this."
"Thor!" Amid Odin's roar, Thor turned around and walked towards the Rainbow Bridge.
As Thor left, Odin, who was still roaring, began to twist his figure.
"Sure enough, you're still as easy to deceive as before." On the throne, Loki looked at Thor, who had already gone far away, with a mocking look.
“But I’m sorry, my dear brother.” Loki whispered, “Instead of letting you stay on the throne and play with the power you are least good at, it is better to let “father” return to the throne.”
“After all, Asgard cannot be without the God King Odin now.”
Thor didn’t know what happened in the Asgard. When he came to the Rainbow Bridge excitedly, he found that Heimdall, who was supposed to stand at the Rainbow Bridge to block his figure, was not in the Rainbow Bridge.
Instead, there was a figure who looked a little sloppy.
“Ah, isn’t this His Highness Thor?”
Skorki, known as the executioner, saw Thor appearing in the Rainbow Bridge Palace, and hurriedly trotted to Thor’s side, nodding and asking him.
“I wonder what you are doing at the Rainbow Bridge?”
“Is Heimdall not here?” Thor looked around in the palace in confusion.
"Lord Heimdall?" Skorch rolled his eyes and said to Thor with a smile: "He was sent out by His Majesty Odin to perform a secret mission some time ago. Before Lord Heimdall left, he asked me to help temporarily manage the Rainbow Bridge."
"Is that so?" Thor was relieved when he heard Skorch say that Heimdall was not there.
After all, what Thor was doing now was completely against His Majesty Odin's wishes. If Heimdall was really here, I'm afraid Thor really didn't know how to borrow the Rainbow Bridge.
Since Skorch is now temporarily managing the Rainbow Bridge
"Ahem!" Thor coughed twice and looked at Skorch with a serious look.
"Skorchi, help me open the way to Muspelheim."
"Muspelheim?" Skorchi blinked and looked at Thor with some doubt: "Why are you going to that place where no one lives?"
"You don't need to worry about this." Thor snorted coldly and said mysteriously: "This is what my father meant."
"Ah, is it His Majesty Odin's intention?" Skorchi nodded repeatedly and made a gesture of invitation to Thor: "If so, please come in, Lord Thor."
Skorchi took Thor to the center of the Rainbow Bridge. At Thor's nod, Skorchi inserted the long sword that opened the Rainbow Bridge into the center and started the Rainbow Bridge to Muspelheim.
Just when Loki and Thor wanted to protect Asgard in their own way.
In the Asgard, a dark figure was walking towards the bedroom of Queen Frigga.
Frigga in the bedroom didn't know what happened in the outside world.
At this moment, she was looking at Odin in the ice coffin with worry.
The gods in Asgard adjust their power through sleep. According to common sense, this stage usually lasts for decades or even hundreds of years.
For the God King Odin, the duration of Odin's sleep should be longer.
However, due to the performance of Thor and Loki in Asgard now, Odin can't let go of his mind and completely fall asleep.
So in order to prevent the power in his body from being too disordered, Odin can only take hibernation measures intermittently.
After all, as Loki said, Asgard today can't lose the God King Odin.

The crisp footsteps echoed in Frigga's bedroom.
"Who is it?" Frigga frowned when she heard the strange footsteps. When she was about to turn around, she suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind her head.
The spear passed through Frigga's body, but there was no bloody scene, only waves in Frigga's body.
"Malekith!" Frigga's body emerged from another part of the palace. She looked at the figure that appeared in the palace and screamed in shock.
"How did you get around the shield and enter Asgard!"
"Hmph, Queen Frigga." Malekith looked at Frigga in the distance, and the muscles on his face twitched. He did not answer Frigga's question, but looked at Odin in the ice coffin.
Not good
Frigga guessed what Malekith wanted to do. As the staff in her hand was waved, a light curtain appeared on the ice coffin, blocking Malekith's attack on Odin's body.
"Why do you want to assassinate Odin if you don't go find your ether particles!" Frigga asked Malekith, "Aren't you afraid of revenge from us Asgardians?"
"Revenge?" Malekith pulled back the spear that was stabbed on the light curtain, and looked at Odin and Frigga with hatred in his eyes.
"But this is exactly my revenge on you!" Malekith took out a strange-looking grenade and threw it towards the ice coffin again.
The grenade exploded at the ice coffin, causing the space to distort, and the distorted space directly broke the light curtain that Frigga had applied to the ice coffin.
"Puff--" As the light curtain was broken, Frigga spit out a mouthful of blood. She looked at the ice coffin that began to be damaged under the distortion of space, and the staff in her hand once again cast a ray of light.
The originally heavy ice coffin appeared behind her under Frigga's spell.
But at this moment, Malekith had already come in front of Frigga, and the spear in his hand stabbed at Frigga and the ice coffin behind her again.
Frigga subconsciously blocked her staff in front of her, watching Malekith pierce her staff with a spear and penetrate her body.
"You Asgardians have done so many bad things!" Malekith murmured in a low voice.
"If you hadn't sent the Aether to the Collector, how could I have brought all my people to that star field!"
"My people were annihilated! The Collector is dead! The Aether was also taken away by that man!" Malekith seemed to have been holding back his words for an unknown period of time.
"Even if I hadn't signed that contract, I might not have come back alive!"
The Collector is dead?
Frigga, who was stabbed in the abdomen by Malekith with a spear, listened to Malekith's words, and her eyes became more and more shocked.
You have to know that in addition to the powerful power of the Collector himself, he also has a group of powerful armies, and he himself is one of the elders of the universe.
Killing the Collector is equivalent to going against other elders of the universe.
Frigga couldn't believe that someone would dare to do this.
And looking at Malekith's expression, he seemed to know the man who killed the Collector, and he was very afraid of that man.
But at this time, Frigga couldn't think too much. The pain in her abdomen made Frigga weaker and weaker.
And she also noticed Malekith's increasingly crazy eyes.
Frigga understood that after Malekith told his pain, he would definitely continue to attack her and Odin.
As Odin's wife, Frigga naturally knew that Odin's current physical condition was no longer able to attack anyone.
If the stalemate continued, she and Odin would probably be killed by Malekith.
"If it weren't for you Asgardians, how could I have fallen to this point!"
As expected, Malekith withdrew his reminiscing expression, retracted the spear inserted into Frigga's abdomen, looked at Odin behind Frigga, and murmured in a low voice.
"Only by killing Odin and destroying the faith of you Asgardians can I feel happy."
"But unfortunately, I won't give you this chance." Frigga wiped the blood flowing from the corner of her mouth, and a light of teleportation array began to emerge around the ice coffin.
"!" Seeing this, Malekith quickly stabbed the ice coffin behind Frigga with his spear, but it was too late.
Under Frigga's full effort, when Malekith was about to stab the ice coffin, the ice coffin disappeared in the palace.
"What did you do?!" Malekith looked at Frigga angrily, and aimed the spear in his hand at Frigga's neck, wanting to stab it fiercely.
"Mother!" But at this moment, Loki, who discovered the movement in the palace, came late and just saw Malekith stabbing Frigga's neck with a spear.
"No!" Loki looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes were full of tears.
"Idiot!"
But just as Frigga was about to die, an extremely angry voice came to Malekith's ears.
