28: Dance Cosmos, Dance!

[chapter 28: Dance Cosmos, Dance!]

As time slowly flew by, in a strange, lavish realm, many rumors spread like the wind. A few months had passed since the "Clash of the Mythic Behemoth", and Loki, one of the main characters of those rumors, was still bedridden.

With the dangers that Loki had faced being revealed to Asgard, Frigga had rushed to Odin in a fit of rage. This was too much! He clearly knew the dangers that Loki faced long before, but he still sent him here. She had once forgiven him as he made Loki's test to fight against a fully grown Jormungandr. But now to fight one of "them" was too much!

Their fight spread like wildfire on Asgard, and rumors of Loki's accomplishment came to light. They learned that the so-called Trickster Prince had broken many records and, after only half a century, had graduated with one or maybe the hardest graduating tests specifically made by their king.

His first mission was then to help a clearly ruined civilization if it could be called one, and he did so splendidly. He brought them the civilized ways of life; they became much more powerful, and wars stopped. But not only that, he also taught them about Asgard and this became the only religion.

After that, as his second mission, he had to exterminate a being who was making a Niflheim! He saved an entire race and bravely fought against beings much stronger than himself. The fact that half of his army is still alive is a miracle!

Now, Loki the Trickster Prince, the one who wasn't taken as seriously as Thor, had become the main heir to the throne—according to the common population. His name began to be spread all around the galaxy as if he were a superstar.

His age and accomplishment were in those rumors making him someone titled the second coming of Bor, who was once known as the strongest god, even stronger than prime Odin! In a faraway land, he even began to be revered as the only god.

Would peace be preserved? This question ran through the minds of many strong people in the universe. They all knew about Odin's rampage when he was still young, so now that his son was much stronger than Odin was at the same age, they shuddered with fear. But they could do nothing, for even in his old age, Odin was still Odin.

Of course, during those months, other things happened. Thor graduated and joined the royal guards, for Odin didn't trust his temper enough to hold the lives of millions in his hands. But one thing was sure, he would too become a force to be recognized with. Maybe it was the challenge of having Loki as a brother, but Thor had become much stronger than his counterpart in the MCU at the same time.

Bjalfi Asjbornson, Loki's second friend, had also graduated by forging his first true weapon. Osi, and surely Loki, if he would have been awake, was hyper-excited. They would now be able to have even more fun. Especially since Loki had asked for many years for a lightsaber, whatever that was.

As many Asgardians were feasting again for their prince who brought them another wave of reverence in the royal castle, the ambiance wasn't as jovial. Thor stood at Loki's side, watching over his dear brother, while Loki and Frigga were completely cut off.

Frigga didn't want to see Odin anymore, and he thought that she was being too protective. They were raising kings, not porcelain! Sure, it was really dangerous, but this was what would make Loki grow beyond everyone. As a god of war, Odin clearly knew the benefits of a battle to the death. This was when he grew the most in strength.

Loki needed to be strong for the years that were coming. He could feel them slowly awakening. He could feel the chaos brooming, and the various strong people being born all over the universe. He was sure that in the next millennia, the future would become a mess, and power would be the only way to survive what was to come.

Hell, he had recently felt the awakening of winter divinity, someone with Asgardian blood, but he hadn't been able to detect the origin. Winter was a major divinity that was associated with many things like death, cold, ice, snow, and solitude!

But for now, this could wait. His son, Loki, was still in Lokisleep. This was the second time! This sleep was a miracle. It would make Loki's mind wander throughout dimensions while he steadily recovered and even grew stronger.

—(Line Break)—

Loki sat on a small wooden boat as it glided through the endless expanse of space. The vessel moved steadily forward, leaving behind a trail of gentle ripples that echoed out into the cosmic void. Around him, the stars twinkled like diamonds against a velvet backdrop, casting a soft glow on the wooden planks beneath his feet.

As Loki looked up, he saw a kaleidoscope of colors swirling and dancing before his eyes. Nebulas of every hue stretched out before him, each one a stunning masterpiece of cosmic artistry. Some were a deep, rich purple, while others were a brilliant shade of pink or green. Loki marveled at the sheer beauty of it all, feeling small and insignificant in the face of such grandeur.

The boat sailed on, and Loki watched as a cluster of stars came into view. They twinkled and sparkled like tiny gems, beckoning him to come closer. As the boat drew near, Loki could see that a swirling mass of gas and dust surrounded the stars, forming a beautiful and intricate nebula. It was unlike anything he had ever seen before, with its delicate tendrils of gas and the bright stars that seemed to float within it like jewels.

Loki breathed in deeply, savoring the crisp, clean air around him. He could feel the coolness of the space that surrounded him, and the gentle hum of the boat beneath his feet. There was a sense of calmness and serenity in this place, a feeling of being completely at peace with the universe.

The boat sailed on, taking Loki deeper and deeper into the vastness of space. The colors and shapes of the nebulas changed with each passing moment, creating an ever-shifting panorama that left him in awe. He felt a sense of freedom and liberation, as though they had released him from the bonds of earthly life and were allowed to roam freely in the infinite expanse of the cosmos.

But he soon realized he wasn't. Piercing every shade of color, even the darkness of space, an eye opened. Its maddening red color swirls the space itself, as if walking chaos. It didn't feel alive, no it was as if it was out of everything.

Realizing how long his path to true power was, Loki's eyes burned with a flame of determination, and his physical body started moving.

A cosmic dance had commenced, poised to radiate throughout the entirety of the universe. New gods had awakened, their divine presence illuminating the cosmos with unprecedented brilliance. In one of the many hidden realms, their power surged and cascaded, leaving a trail of complete devastation in its wake. This was a dance of transformation, of transcendence, of unbridled energy that would leave its mark on the universe for eons to come.
