Loki was cornered.
Only the scepter in his hand could save him.
Although he couldn't unleash the scepter's full power, he could still draw upon a portion of it to create an opening for himself!
Thus, he activated his magic and violently hurled the scepter straight toward Xu Dan!
At the instant the attack flew out, Loki himself darted in the opposite direction!
Xu Dan was under attack—he would have to block or dodge.
That gap—
That instant—
That was Loki's chance!
However, Loki was facing not one opponent, but two.
The moment Thor noticed Loki's movements, he immediately hurled Mjolnir from his hand!
He knew all too well how cunning his brother was. Even crippled, Loki could not be allowed to escape!
Yet Loki, ever the schemer, had long accounted for Thor.
Just as Mjolnir was about to strike him, Loki abruptly adjusted his trajectory!
Thor's hammer carried terrifying force. Loki, struck head-on, was sent flying!
His body spun like a kite with its string cut, soaring past the Rainbow Bridge and plunging toward the pitch-black abyss below!!
"NO!!"
Thor was horrified. He swore that he had only meant to subdue Loki—he never intended to knock him into the abyss!
He stretched out his hand desperately, hoping that the clever Loki would seize Mjolnir and pull himself back!
But only Mjolnir returned from the abyss.
Loki fell.
Xu Dan witnessed the scene and shook his head helplessly.
Idiot teammates.
Better not to attack at all than to attack like that!
Originally, as long as he had blocked the scepter, Xu Dan could have countered with a control skill immediately!
But Brother Thor went straight for the smash!
Immortal support! Immortal Hong Kong kick! Bethune!
In an instant, countless tragic "pit teammate" images flashed through Xu Dan's mind.
"NO!!!"
Thor was still crying out in agony. After recalling Mjolnir, he immediately flew toward the direction where Loki had fallen!
This foolish brother—up until this very moment, even after Loki had nearly destroyed Asgard—was still thinking about his brother!
He intended to dive down and save Loki!
But at that moment, a powerful hand seized him!
Thor turned back and saw his imposing, majestic father—Odin.
"Thor, stop!"
"Father…"
"That was Loki's own choice," Odin said calmly. "He deliberately grabbed Mjolnir, did he not?"
"Loki…"
Odin pulled Thor back onto the Rainbow Bridge and patted his shoulder in reassurance.
"You met someone new on Earth," Odin said suddenly, turning knowingly toward Xu Dan.
"Yes. He is Xu Dan," Thor replied. "Very powerful."
"Oh?" Odin smiled faintly. "If you praise him, then he truly must be powerful."
In truth, Odin already knew everything.
With that, he walked toward Xu Dan.
Xu Dan watched the approaching old man, emotions churning in his mind—complex, tense.
This elderly figure who looked half a step from the grave was the true ruler of Asgard.
Though aged in appearance, his power surpassed even Thor's by an overwhelming margin.
"Xu Dan."
"Odin."
"Oh? You know me?"
Xu Dan took two steps forward. From Odin, he felt an immense pressure—worthy of the legendary All-Father.
Yet no matter how powerful Odin was, he had no reason to harm Xu Dan.
"I assume the only one Thor would call 'Father' is Odin, the ruler of Asgard."
Odin smiled meaningfully and shifted the topic.
"Xu Dan, you are different from most Earthlings. I cannot discern the source of your power… Regardless, you protected yourself on Earth, protected Earth itself, and even fulfilled Thor's duties by eliminating Loki's threat. Tell me—what reward do you desire?"
This was the posture of a superior.
A king addressing a valiant hero.
Xu Dan didn't mind. After all, Odin's status was indeed supreme—even across the universe.
He spoke calmly.
"I don't need a reward. If I must ask for something, then I wish to discuss a deal with Asgard."
"Cooperation?"
"Yes." Xu Dan nodded. "I learned from Thor that Asgard has not fought a major war in a long time. I imagine Asgard's warriors have grown… dull?"
At this, Odin frowned slightly, clearly displeased.
"Young man, Asgardians do not enjoy war."
Xu Dan nearly laughed.
If the sun rose in the west tomorrow, he might believe it—but Asgardians disliking war? Absolutely not.
How did the Nine Realms come to be?
Through Asgardian conquest.
And there was once Hela—brave, ruthless, and unsatisfied with merely nine realms.
Had Odin indulged her ambition, Asgard's dominion would hardly have stopped there.
And now Odin claimed Asgard did not like war?
Hypocrisy polished in gold.
Of course, these thoughts passed in an instant.
When businessmen discuss cooperation, they pursue profit, not emotion.
"I think you misunderstand," Xu Dan said smoothly. "I have no intention of sending Asgard's warriors to war. On the contrary—this would be beneficial to Asgard."
Seeing Odin's frown deepen, Xu Dan quickened his pace.
"I have developed a virtual world that allows spirits to enter it—where one can complete tasks, battle, and train. After coming to Asgard, I thought that providing this to Asgard's warriors might be a good thing."
"A virtual world?" Odin was puzzled.
It wasn't that he hadn't heard of virtual worlds—but one created by a mortal?
Xu Dan explained calmly, "You can think of it as a game. Within it, Asgardian warriors can conduct unrestricted combat training. Over time, three thousand warriors could withstand any incoming enemy."
At this, Odin frowned again.
"Who would dare invade Asgard?"
In truth, he knew the answer.
The Frost Giants had already done so once.
Moreover, Odin possessed prophetic sight—he foresaw disaster looming over Asgard.
Not to mention the far more terrifying Ragnarok that would one day arrive.
Yet before an Earthling, he could not lower his stature.
Xu Dan had already seen through everything and feigned ignorance.
"In all things, preparation is essential. Asgard's warriors train daily anyway. Training within my virtual world would achieve twice the result with half the effort."
