Chapter Eighty: Striking Laufey Behind Closed Doors

"Nice to meet you again, Captain Blake. I'm Phil Coulson, S.H.I.E.L.D. agent! I'm your biggest fan..."

"Stop, stop!" Thor interrupted, "I recall that Steve is your idol, so how did you become a fan of mine? If you have something to say, just say it. I'm in a hurry."

Agent Phil Coulson's face showed a hint of embarrassment as he smiled and said, "Although this battle avoided residential areas, it still caused significant damage to the surrounding environment. The entire New York has witnessed the events here... S.H.I.E.L.D. needs to provide an explanation to the higher-ups, at least to convince Washington of the existence of aliens..."

Thor shook his head. "They'll believe it soon enough, and if they don't, it won't matter. It won't be long before the entire world knows about aliens."

After saying this, he ignored the confused Phil Coulson and turned his attention to Natasha and the others.

"Are you leaving?" Natasha asked, a touch of reluctance in her voice.

The main concern was that Thor often vanished for extended periods, sometimes for years.

Thor placed a reassuring hand on her shoulder, his expression serious. "My brother is causing trouble again, and with Father asleep, it's up to me to handle things. I need to return to deal with him. Don't worry; I'll be back soon. It won't be for long this time."

Thor was heading back to address the chaos caused by Loki, leaving Nebula and Minerva on Earth while taking only the three warriors: Sif, Fandral, and Volstagg.

Let his women have some bonding time .

He shouted into the sky, "Heimdallr! Take us back!"

As the Guardian of the Bifrost and a formidable Asgardian, Heimdallr's strength was unquestionable. Responding to the call, he shattered the ice with ease, defeated the surrounding Jotunheim Giants with a few strikes, and activated the Bifrost.

The brilliance of the Bifrost enveloped them, and the group vanished in a burst of light.

…

In Asgard, within Odin's palace, Odin lay unconscious on his bed while Frigga waited anxiously by his side.

A commotion outside drew Frigga's attention. Instantly alert, she drew her sword and watched the frost-covered gate with caution. Despite being a powerful sorceress, she was also skilled in swordplay.

The palace gate burst open with a loud crash, revealing a tall, dark blue figure.

Giants of Jotunheim!

Frigga's eyes widened in shock. How could the Jotunheim race infiltrate here?

She bravely confronted the intruding Jotunheim Giants with her sword, only to be knocked aside by Laufey's powerful swipe, crashing to the ground.

As the queen of Asgard, she was not a true warrior and could not match the might of Laufey, the King of the Giants of Jotunheim.

Ignoring her, Laufey approached Odin's bed.

A malevolent smile spread across his hideous face. "Finally, the battle between Asgard and Jotunheim will end with the destruction of Asgard!"

"It is said that even in this state, you can still see and hear what's happening around you. I hope that's true."

"You will know that it was Laufey, King of the Giants of Jotunheim, who killed you!"

He raised the ice pick, ready to strike.

A flash of golden light pierced through him, causing him to collapse heavily to the ground. Startled, he looked at Loki, who held Gungnir in his hand.

Gungnir blazed with intense light once more, and as Laufey's body disintegrated, he heard Loki's final words.

"You will also know that it was Odin's son, Loki, who killed you!"
