Chapter 218 Loki: I got up, but I was killed in one hit. What's there to say!
This actually froze Laufey's smile on his face, leaving him completely bewildered!
Even though he was the king of the frost giants and was naturally immune to ice damage, Laufey felt a chill for the first time in his life as he watched Loki's smile gradually turn villainous!
This made Laufey shudder and involuntarily take a few steps back, giving Loki a strange look.
Wow, this kid, could it be that he can't accept the reality of being betrayed by his "ally" and has been scared out of his wits?
Get your facts straight!
Now I've led my troops to surround you, forcing you into a corner...
Why are you laughing even more wildly than I am? As if I've willingly walked into your trap?
Is this reasonable? !
To be honest, Loki and Laufey are truly father and son; they both want to betray each other.
However, according to the original storyline, Laufey, who had already cooperated with Loki, would have prioritized killing Odin. As a result, he was betrayed by Loki and hastily met his end.
However, Loki's conversation with Thor shook his resolve, causing the entire event to gradually deviate from its original trajectory from the moment Loki entered Jotunheim.
Loki, who was feeling lost, couldn't help but ask Laufey a question when they met.
It was precisely because of this little episode that went beyond the scope of the original plot...
Not only did it make Loki completely give up on Laufey amidst Laufey's mocking laughter, but it also made him abandon the ridiculous idea of getting fatherly love from Laufey.
The intense emotional fluctuations caused Loki, who had been perfectly disguised, to momentarily reveal a chilling murderous intent.
This led the cunning Laufey to immediately realize that Loki, who seemed to be sincerely seeking cooperation, actually had ulterior motives.
Therefore, Laufey did not stay obediently in Jotunheim as in the original story, waiting for Loki to open the Bifrost and bring them to Asgard.
Instead, he decided to personally lead his trusted elite troops to take the initiative. Using a hidden passage provided by Loki during their previous collaboration, which allowed them to teleport directly into the Asgardian royal treasury, they entered Asgard ahead of time.
It's important to know that, thanks to the Destroyer Armor, this treasure trove, possessing boundless wealth, was originally the most heavily guarded area in Asgard!
However, precisely because of this, Odin was wary, as each of the artifacts stored in the vault possessed immense, world-destroying power. The theft of even one or two items could trigger a massive catastrophe, so he deliberately did not assign guards to patrol the area.
So much so that, in a moment of desperation, Loki ordered the Destroyer armor to hunt down the Asgardian quartet. What should have been the safest treasure trove in Asgard, with the departure of the Destroyer armor, naturally became like the laboratory of some ultimate war criminal in the Land of Light, a backyard where Laufey could come and go as he pleased.
This allowed Laufey to seize the opportunity and lead his Frost Giants to suddenly attack from the vault.
They then proceeded unimpeded, and before Loki could even notice, they fought their way to the throne!
Unexpectedly, what should have been Laufey's surprise attack to corner Loki and seize the coveted title of ruler of the Nine Realms turned into a scapegoat, a hapless act of self-sacrifice and suicide, all because of Loki's change in mindset!
Look, here it is...
"Don't even think about it, Laufey! Standing before you now is Loki, the King of Asgard, Thor's brother! The God of Mischief! I've had enough of your threats! I know your ambitions will never be satisfied! So from this moment on, I will no longer allow myself to be manipulated by you to maintain the illusion of peace in Asgard, and will no longer do those foolish things against my conscience!"
Upon seeing Laufey appear, Loki, regaining his senses, went through all the sad things he had experienced in his life before barely managing to suppress his laughter and not burst out laughing on the spot.
He then slightly raised his hand, controlling the scepter that had fallen to the ground, and made it fly back into his hand.
Loki quickly suppressed his smile, adopting an expression of unyielding defiance, and, meeting Laufey's bewildered gaze, shouted righteously.
"If you want to kill Thor, you'll have to step over my dead body and steal this scepter from me that controls the Destroyer Armor!"
"For a glorious mission—!!!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than Loki, the god of mischief and the greatest sorcerer in the Nine Realms, found himself in a situation where he was clearly outnumbered...
There were no unpredictable illusions, nor any spells to enhance oneself.
With a mere grip on his scepter, he leaped from his throne amidst a deafening battle cry and launched a frontal charge against Laufey!
Meanwhile, Laufey, who had fought on the battlefield for many years and had extensive combat experience, instinctively felt that Loki's actions were definitely problematic.
Faced with Loki's proactive attack, Laufey naturally regarded this action as a duel between kings and would not allow himself to back down or give way to Loki in front of everyone!
Therefore, a sharp ice blade appeared in his right hand, and he subconsciously raised his hand, using about 50% of his strength.
Laufey narrowed his eyes slightly, trying to probe Loki's intentions through this exchange, as Loki suddenly became agitated and started talking nonsense for no apparent reason.
Then, the next second, as expected, Loki, who was full of menacing energy, did it...!
Pierced through the waist and abdomen by Laufey's ice blade, he died on the spot!
"Loki? What did you mean just now? Could it be that old man Laufey tore up the peace treaty and launched an attack?"
"If that's the case, then I'll have Heimdall send me back right now! Hold on a little longer, Loki, don't be impulsive!"
"...Loki? Are you still there! Loki! Brother! Don't scare me! Please, just say anything! Loki—!!!"
Of course, while saying these words, Loki, who was solely focused on proving his loyalty with his death, apparently forgot to sever the connection between the scepter and the Destroyer armor. This allowed Thor, who had been waiting for Loki's response, to hear Loki's final words in their entirety.
As Loki lay dying, by sheer coincidence, he lost the strength to hold onto the scepter, causing it to slip from his hand and fall squarely into Laufey's grasp.
This caused Laufey, who was filled with doubt and uncertainty, to take over the Destroyer armor the moment he touched the scepter, replacing Loki.
And so, with the establishment of sensory sharing, Laufey, in a daze, saw Thor far away on Earth, his face full of anxiety and tension, grabbing the shoulders of the Destroyer armor and shaking it vigorously!
