"A friend? Could it be Heimdall?"
Thor was puzzled. His best friends in the Palace were Sif and The Warriors Three. Loki counted too, but not anymore.
Besides them, who else would dare risk great disapproval, or even the title of traitor, just to see him, the exile?
"It's a person wearing full armor, whose eyes are glowing gold and filled with an aura of destruction."
Aaron's eyes pierced through the golden light, seeing the figure.
"You can see his appearance that quickly? That's the light of the Bifrost Bridge." Sif clicked her tongue repeatedly.
"Are you perhaps the Heimdall of Midgard?"
Volstagg added, "Or maybe the God of Guardianship of Midgard?"
Aaron pondered. "If you really want to know, you can view me as... the collective of everything."
Sif thought for a moment and asked, "An Omnipotent God?"
Aaron shook his head. "In the future, but not now."
At most, he is a weak omnipotent being. Invincible within Earth, a one-for-one trade above Earth?
Well, it's too early to think about these things now.
Aaron felt that once he really made a move, he would have the power to fight against anything below a single Universe-level being. After all, he could release the brilliance of a hundred trillion suns at any time.
How many Suns are there in the Milky Way Galaxy? Only a few hundred billion.
Even if there are more in the Marvel Universe, there won't be too many.
A hundred trillion suns, even smaller ones, if they all erupted, would be enough to cause Universe-structural level destruction. Even among the Celestials, only a few special Celestials could achieve this (non-comic).
Sif and the others naturally didn't believe him, but there was no time to object.
"Full body armor? Destructive aura?"
Thor was even more confused, thinking of a possibility, and laughed. "It can't be Destroyer, can it?"
"Impossible. It's currently guarding the treasury, and without the King's command, it's impossible..."
Thor laughed and laughed, then stopped laughing.
Isn't the King Loki now?
"Could it be that the All-Father has awakened?" Sif thought of a possibility.
"It can't be Loki, can it?"
Fandral silently drew his sword. "I think something is very wrong."
Thor wielded two hammers. "Don't worry, I have two hammers now."
"No matter who it is, I have no fear."
With one hammer, he was unstoppable. With two hammers, wouldn't he be able to kill anyone he encountered?
Double the joy!
Boom!
At this moment, the light of the Bifrost Bridge instantly streaked across an unknown number of light-years, stirring up changes in the wind and clouds, like a second sun, even overshadowing the brilliance of the true sun.
Sif and the others stood ready.
Thor also narrowed his eyes.
However, Aaron suddenly remembered something.
By the way, he could also melt the Bifrost Bridge, right?
Once melted, would he then have the ability to travel freely within the Universe?
He could also melt the Space Stone but that thing is too high a magnitude for him right now.
To be safe, before melting the Space Stone, he should improve his overall strength as steadily and quickly as possible or make a trip to Kamar-Taj. There are many mages there..Just grabbing a few would allow him to get his hands on a portal.
Moreover, Kamar-Taj's magic, especially the Ancient One, she even possesses the ability to travel through parallel Universes. She can even explore those endless dimensional worlds in a soul state.
Speaking of which, why hasn't the Ancient One come to him yet? Is she still peeking?
Aaron scanned his surroundings but didn't see the Ancient One.
However, considering that old fox who tricked countless demon Gods could hide in the Mirror Dimension to peek, Aaron wasn't surprised.
His Super Vision currently couldn't see through the Mirror Dimension. That was, after all, the power of space, instantly entering a mirror dimension.
Whether it's light, signals, heat, pheromones, etc, from the outside world, they couldn't comprehend that thing.
Aaron was just thinking when the golden light of the Bifrost Bridge fell and a tall figure emerged from the golden light.
However, what Aaron didn't expect was...
"Loki?"
The Destroyer he remembered was nearly three meters tall. But this one was only a little over two meters tall. And within the hollow head visor, a pair of cunning eyes were revealed.
Who else could it be but Loki?
Good heavens, you're really getting carried away, daring to come down yourself. Do you think you're capable again?
Aaron was quite surprised. This didn't fit Loki's character.
An old fox who plotted from the shadows actually came to the front.
"My foolish brother, you seem surprised?"
The Destroyer strode with heavy steps through the silent street, coming before Aaron and the others.
"Loki?!"
Thor and the others were shocked.
"Now please call me the king of Asgard."
"Oh, by the way, you are no longer the Prince of Asgard, and you all..."
"As the King of Asgard, I declare that due to your acts of treason, you are no longer citizens of Asgard."
Loki proudly scanned Sif and the others, until his gaze fell upon Aaron, and his smile froze.
"Loki, where are my things?" Aaron opened his hand and said with a smile.
"What?"
Thor and the others were puzzled.
And Loki, seeing Aaron's familiar smile, was subconsciously a little afraid.
But feeling the indestructible Destroyer on his body, and recalling the preparations he had made, he felt much more at ease.
I have six Divine Artifacts on me, no one is my opponent.
"God of Midgard, I will give you what I promised, but before that, I hope you can help me take them down first."
"Then, I will offer you what you want with both hands."
Loki's eyes darted around as he spoke.
Sif and the others' expressions instantly changed.
They moved a certain distance away from Aaron, forming a triangle with Loki and Aaron, wary of each other.
Fandral even pulled Thor away.
"He wouldn't do that, I believe him!" Thor shouted loudly, ignoring the actions of Fandral and the others.
Aaron's face darkened. "You mean, to get my things back, I first have to be your thug and do your bidding?"
Loki's heart skipped a beat, then he felt ashamed of his behavior.
He raised his head and said solemnly, "You can't say it that way. In fact, I spent a lot of effort dealing with the mess my foolish brother left behind. At the same time, several Gods, including the God of Guardianship, were dismissed because of this matter."
"You are very strong. I sincerely invite you to join Asgard and become our new God of Guardianship, wielding the Divine Artifact Sword of Guardianship, and guarding the most important Divine Artifact—the Bifrost Bridge."
"Think about it, that's a position of God, and you'll enjoy the respect of the Nine Realms, including Midgard. Besides me, everyone will look up to you."
"I am willing to share this glory with you."
Loki spoke earnestly.
In his opinion, Aaron couldn't refuse his invitation.
Because that was Asgard!
Since thousands of years ago, internally, Odin conquered the Nine Realms, establishing Asgard's territory.
Externally, Odin deterred all races, preventing other Universe powers from easily moving south.
From that time on, Asgard represented glory, represented invincibility.
Aaron had no reason to refuse.
However...
"I'm sorry, I refuse."
Aaron really wanted to laugh. "You want me to be your watchdog?"
"Loki, you're too presumptuous."
"Now, I'll count to three. Hand over the traded item, otherwise..."
"Three."
Gale and thunder roared simultaneously. The cloudless sky instantly became overcast.
And Aaron's eyes burst forth with dazzling red light, like a terrifying demon God in this gloomy world.
"Two."
Water vapor in the air rapidly condensed, and light rain began to fall across the land.
And... snowflakes.
Aaron gradually flew into the air.
A colorful cloak danced in the wind.
Aaron's hair, along with the golden light he emitted, turned golden.
And the Celestial Power entwined around him transformed into a tangible beam of light piercing the sky.
"One."
As Aaron's voice fell, the world seemed to press the pause button.
Snowflakes, rain, thunder, and strong winds suddenly stopped. It was the subtle calm before the storm was about to arrive.
