Chapter 214

As Odin was deep in thought, Thor quickly finished recounting the events of the Battle of New York and moved on to the matter he was most eager to discuss. "Not long after the Battle of New York, Nick Fury, the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., approached me and told me about the God of Light," Thor said, cautiously eyeing his father.

"The God of Light?" Heimdall interjected, sounding surprised and confused. He couldn't recall any mention of a God of Light in Asgardian lore.

Thor nodded. "Yes, and the light phenomenon that covered Jotunheim, Midgard, Asgard, and even other realms—it's all connected to this God of Light."

This revelation stunned everyone. Odin, who had been sitting on his throne, stood up abruptly.

"Thor, explain yourself!" Odin demanded. "Who is this God of Light you're talking about?"

The light phenomenon that had spread across the Nine Realms was unprecedented. The mere thought that it was caused by one individual was hard to fathom, even for the powerful King of Asgard.

Odin's face grew tense as he contemplated the sheer magnitude of power needed to cover the Nine Realms with light. Such strength was beyond imagination. He couldn't help but take the matter seriously.

Frigga and Heimdall, both realizing the gravity of the situation, exchanged worried glances. Frigga, in particular, had always sensed something during that phenomenon—an inexplicable connection between herself and the event. She had even questioned Odin about it afterward, but they had found no answers.

Thor took a deep breath before finally revealing the identity of the mysterious God of Light. "The God of Light is none other than the White Knight," Thor declared. "In the mouths of his followers, he is called Balder, and in human mythology, he is said to be the second son of you and Mother—my brother."

The room fell into stunned silence.

The White Knight was the God of Light?

The same being responsible for the light phenomenon across the Nine Realms?

Odin, Frigga, and Heimdall were shocked beyond words. Not only did the White Knight possess the power to alter reality, but now it seemed he also had control over such an immense force that could affect the Nine Realms.

Heimdall's expression froze as he processed what Thor had said. Was it true that Odin and Frigga had another son—a brother of Thor? "When did this happen?" he wondered.

As Heimdall struggled to comprehend the situation, he noticed that Odin and Frigga were looking at each other in shock and confusion. Neither of them seemed to know what Thor was talking about.

Odin clenched his staff tightly, his mind racing. Could it be that he had a son he wasn't aware of, a son who was this powerful? It made no sense to him, and he even considered that Thor might be mistaken.

However, before Odin could voice his thoughts, Frigga spoke first, her voice filled with certainty. "I believe it," she said, much to everyone's surprise. "He is my son, and Thor's brother."

Odin and Thor were taken aback, while Heimdall looked on, trying to piece things together. Frigga's certainty was unwavering as she continued, "The light phenomenon... it was him."

Frigga explained the strong sense of connection she had felt during the light event, and how everything suddenly made sense. Her words left Odin stunned, and Thor overjoyed. Heimdall, on the other hand, felt that everything was starting to fall into place.

"This can't be," Odin began, still unsure. "Frigga, you know we never had—"

But Frigga interrupted, speaking with an unshakable conviction. "I know what I felt, and I know he is my son."

Listening to her unwavering belief, even Odin, who had been adamant moments before, began to waver. Could Frigga really be right? Had he somehow forgotten or overlooked the existence of this powerful child?

The room fell silent as everyone grappled with Frigga's declaration. Odin, now visibly conflicted, finally spoke again. "We will know for certain when we meet him ourselves," he said, still holding on to a sliver of doubt.

He wanted to see the White Knight with his own eyes. Only then would he be able to tell if this mysterious figure was truly his son. The godly aura, the divine energy—Odin was confident he would recognize it immediately if it was indeed his child.

As Odin tried to make sense of it all, he refrained from dampening Frigga's spirits. She was too convinced, and Odin decided it was best to wait until they could confirm things for themselves.

Frigga, on the other hand, was full of hope and excitement. She eagerly anticipated the day she would meet this son she believed was hers. She turned back to Thor and said, "Tell me more about what's happened since then."

While Frigga and Thor continued to talk, in the distant Dark Elf realm, Malekith was holding a meeting with his fellow Dark Elves.

"Are you sure the Aether is in Midgard?" Malekith asked, his eyes gleaming with malice.

A Dark Elf clad in black armor nodded firmly. "Yes, we have confirmed it. The Aether is in Midgard."

A sinister smile spread across Malekith's face. He knew exactly where Midgard was—it was the realm of humans.

If the Aether was on Midgard, it would be an easy target. If the Aether had been in Asgard, it would have been much more difficult to retrieve. But on a weak planet like Midgard, taking it would be a simple task.

"Once I have the Aether in my hands, the Asgardians, and especially Odin, will pay for what they've done," Malekith said with a cold laugh.
