Chapter 111 Loki, God of Tricks
Loki looked back at the not-so-coarse seat, and after hesitating for a while, hesitated, he finally sat down.
"What do you want to talk about?"
"Why do you think Odin chose Thor as the heir to the Asgard throne, rather than to choose you?"
Loki heard this as soon as he sat down. He held the handle and pinched the handle of the chair hard. If he hadn't had enough control of his own strength, he could have pinched the handles of the chair into powder.
"You must think Thor is Odin's biological son, and you are just adopted by him... Of course, this reason cannot be ignored; and it is your father, or adoptive father, Odin does not recognize your ability and believes that you cannot manage Asgard well and you cannot become a qualified Asgard God King."
Ethan did not wait for Loki to speak. Although this god of tricks often acted like a naughty child who lacked love, when facing most people, he would act arrogantly and express his pride as a god very thoroughly.
It was impossible to expect him to answer such a question, so Ethan directly told the answer, and with Loki's pride, he would disdain to deny these obvious facts.
"Isn't that the case?"
Compared to Thor, Loki seems more calm when encountering things. He will think about various situations in his mind and analyze why the other party does this?
It cannot be said that there is a problem with this method, but compared to Thor's straightforward temperament, sometimes such people are easier to deal with - they have too many calculations and are more likely to be led to their own rhythm.
Thor's kind of person who goes crazy regardless of his words is sometimes even more difficult to convince. If you want to convince such a guy, you can only use your hard power to conquer the other party.
As for Loki, he sometimes tends to think too much.
"Are you saying this humiliating me?"
"No, I just want you to understand one thing." Ethan poured some juice for himself, and then sent it to Loki with the hand of the mage. He watched the second prince of Asgard take it without refusing, and then removed his spell, and then continued his words: "Although there are some reasons you think of, it is not the real key."
Loki took a sip of juice and realized that this thing was not an ordinary drink, it contained rich energy. Even in Asgard, this thing was not something you could drink casually. It seemed that this place was slightly better than you thought.
"Oh? Then what do you think is the key to Odin's unwillingness to let me inherit the throne?"
He was very curious about what kind of reason Ethan would give? He had already thought a lot in his heart, and felt that he could easily refute whatever Ethan said. He was very much looking forward to seeing Ethan being blocked by him and unable to speak. That must be very interesting.
"Strength." Ethan has been observing Loki's expression. His surprise reaction when drinking juice did not escape Ethan's eyes: "The real reason that affects your inheritance of the Asgard throne is that you are too weak."
"Weak?" Loki almost threw the cup in his hand on Ethan's face, and then rushed over and taught the ignorant, arrogant, and extremely weak mage in front of him, so that he could understand what the real weakness was: "You actually said to me! Prince Asgard, the orthodox heir of Jottonheim, the son of Odin, the god of tricks! Weak?"
Ethan didn't care about Loki's excitement. Looking at the steady water cup in his hand, he knew that Loki was not as excited as he showed, so he could drink a few sips of juice very comfortably, then stuff a sip of snacks into his mouth, and then wait until Loki finished speaking before he continued his words.
"Yes, weak! Tell me, Loki, with your strength, what can you do when facing Thanos?"
“…”
Loki stopped talking, he was not stupid, he was very smart, and he suddenly understood what Ethan meant.
Asgard is very powerful. Asgard is also a very high-level existence in the entire universe. It is so powerful that almost no civilization dares to offend Asgard's territory. Asgard is the nine major countries marked as the sphere of influence. No one dares to offend casually. Even the war madman Kerry tries to avoid conflicts with Asgard.
This situation gave the new generation of Asgardians an illusion that Asgard has no rivals in the universe, and all the guys who dare to offend Asgard will be wiped out before Asgard's powerful combat power.
Loki thought so before. It was not until he wandered around the universe that he realized that the world was very large and the danger was much more than he had imagined. Asgard was able to stand on the upper level of the pyramid in the vast universe because their god king Odin had very strong strength. Even if he was powerful like Thanos, he was unwilling to provoke Odin.
It is precisely with Odin's protection that Asgard can stand for countless years without falling, and their generation of young people can grow slowly in a relatively peaceful and happy environment.
"Thanos..."
Loki wanted to say why Thanos was fine for attacking Asgard? But he quickly swallowed the words back. Does Thanos need a reason to attack anywhere? He has never messed with Asgard, not for any special reason, but just because of Odin.
That's all!
"Do you think Thor's strength is stronger than me?" There is no doubt that Thor's strength is stronger than Loki. What Loki doesn't agree is that no matter how strong Thor is, he is limited to himself. He is still a long way from Odin. There is no way to face Thanos. Could it be enough for Thor?
"Thor's strength is not much stronger than you now, but his potential is great." As a time traveler who understands the plot, his biggest advantage is the asymmetry of intelligence.
He knew that Thor's power of Thor was not given to him by the hammer. Thor's hammer was just a prop that allowed him to slowly adapt and learn to control his own power, which was essentially the same as the battle cross he gave to Diana. When the time was right, he would understand that the power he had always used was what he had, and then began to learn how to use tools to exert his due power. At that time, Thor's strength would completely throw Rocky away.
After telling Loki what he knew, the God of Scheming immediately understood a lot.
It is so easy to talk to smart people. With a little mention of many things, he can understand the key points by himself. There is no need to say more about many things, he can think of them all.
"So, even though Thor was not suitable to be a king at the beginning, Odin still tried his best to train him, let him get rid of those shortcomings, and move towards Asgard step by step."
Ethan drank all the juice in the cup, and he said almost the same thing.
"Because Thor has stronger potential, only when he taps out all his potential and has strong strength can he truly sit in the throne of Asgard. Only under the protection of a powerful enough god king can Asgard continue to maintain his status in the universe, and the people of Asgard can continue to enjoy a peaceful and happy life... You Loki can't do these."
Ethan stood up, walked to Rocky, and looked down at Rocky with a dark face sitting on the chair.
"Because your strength is too weak, so weak that you can't even protect yourself in the dangerous universe, let alone protect your country and people when Asgard is facing a real crisis. This is the fundamental reason why you cannot inherit the throne."
Ethan's words actually have many questions, such as Loki is not Odin's biological son. Even if his strength is really strong to the peak of Odin, will Odin pass the throne to his adopted son? But to that extent, it seems that Odin can't completely decide whether Thor inherits the throne, so this is not a problem at all.
Of course, Loki could think of that level. He realized that if he was really strong enough, as long as he thought, even if Odin didn't want to, he would not be able to stop himself from getting the throne.
"Is it really because I'm too weak?" Loki put down the water cup and began to think.
"Yes, weak is sin, especially in such a dangerous world." Ethan felt that the preparation was almost done and should have put the point. He said so much to finally reach a consensus with Rocky: "So no matter what you want to do in the future, you should try to make yourself stronger now."
Before Ethan finished speaking, Loki in front of him turned into a stream of light and slowly disappeared. Then Loki's figure slowly appeared behind him, and the dagger in his hand pressed against Ethan's back.
"Very wonderful remarks, I have to admit that what you said makes sense, but these words are said from a weak human mage, and combined with the current situation, I don't know who the real weak one is?"
Ethan was not surprised at all, and stood calmly, letting the dagger in Loki's hand press against his back. He didn't even look back and take a look.
"Don't worry, I won't hurt you." Loki smiled, as if he was expressing kindness, but that smile seemed to mock more, and he didn't care whether Ethan could see it on his back: "As long as you send me back, as a reminder of your previous words, we can even make friends. I think this should not be a troublesome thing for you."
"Sorry, this is really a troublesome thing for me." Ethan turned around and gave Loki a very 'charming' smile. Loki was furrowed all over, and realized something was wrong, so he immediately wanted to pull back.
Unfortunately, his movements were still half a beat slower. Before the hand holding the dagger could be retracted, it was already firmly grasped. Then there was a dizzy turn. After coming to his senses, Loki was already lying on the ground.
