Chapter 58 - Chapter 58

Asgard was on lockdown.

The Nine Realms were trembling, healing, reorganizing. Odin had summoned every royal child to the throne hall, and Roy brought Hela with him—hand in hand, like siblings returning from a long exile.

When the massive golden doors opened, Thor, Loki, Frigga, and Odin all turned.

Roy bowed lightly.

"Father. Mother."

Thor and Loki's eyes shot to Hela immediately.

"Uh… Roy… who is she?"

Roy looked at Odin.

Odin nodded.

Hela stepped forward, voice calm, regal, and carrying the weight of ancient war.

"I am Hela Odinson. Firstborn of Odin. Princess of Asgard. Your elder sister."

Thor and Loki blinked once.

Twice.

And then—together, in perfect unison:

"WE HAVE A BIG SISTER?!"

Roy, Odin, Frigga, and Hela all nodded at the same time.

Thor and Loki's jaws dropped so fast even Mjolnir would have been impressed.

Frigga's Warmth

Hela turned to Frigga first—not Odin, not Thor, not Loki.

Her voice softened.

"Mother, are you unharmed?"

Frigga smiled, her eyes warm with understanding.

"My child… I am safe. Thanks to your brother."

Hela exhaled shakily, the tension leaving her shoulders. She had come to Asgard not for power, but out of fear she might have lost her only source of love.

Frigga embraced her gently, and Hela leaned into it like a daughter who had been denied warmth for too long.

Odin's Subtle Joy

Odin cleared his throat loudly, cheeks faintly pink.

"Welcome home, Hela."

Hela bowed her head.

"Thank you… Father."

Roy and Frigga exchanged a tiny laugh—Odin tried to look stoic, but anyone with eyes could see he was happy.

Thor and Loki?

Totally confused.

The Question of the Throne

Odin straightened.

"Now. The matter of succession."

He turned to Roy.

"My son… do you desire the throne of Asgard?"

Thor gasped. Loki froze. Even the air went silent.

Roy shrugged calmly.

"No."

Thor & Loki: "WHAT?!"

Roy didn't even blink.

"I have no interest."

Odin nodded knowingly.

"I thought you would say that."

He turned to Hela.

"Daughter… do you wish to rule?"

Hela's answer was immediate.

"No. I have no desire for the throne."

Odin actually looked relieved.

Roy whispered to his siblings:

"Father wasn't sad. This was his plan."

Thor blinked like a confused puppy. Loki facepalmed.

Roy's Generals Enter

Odin asked:

"Roy… may I meet the generals of your army?"

Roy nodded and snapped his fingers.

The shadows split open.

Beru. Igris. Bellion.

The three kneeled instantly.

"Greetings, my king."

Thor stumbled. Loki took a step back. The raw cosmic pressure leaking from them was overwhelming.

Roy introduced them:

Beru – Universe-level general, Insectoid Shadow Monarch. Igris – Universe-level knight, Crimson Commander. Bellion – Multiverse-level Grand Marshal, the Right Hand of the Dragon God.

Even Odin subtly tensed.

Frigga whispered:

"So much power… under one command…"

Beru, Igris, and Bellion bowed to Odin and Frigga respectfully, then melted back into Roy's shadow.

Revealing Roy's True Power Level

Odin exhaled and asked quietly:

"Roy… I could not sense your strength even when you awakened. Tell me honestly… how strong are you truly?"

Roy answered plainly:

"OAA."

Thor blinked.

Loki blinked.

Odin and Frigga tilted their heads.

"O-A-A…?"

Roy began:

"You know the cosmic hierarchy."

All nodded.

**"After Heavenly Father level comes:

Single Universe Multiverse Multiversal layers And then… OBA—One Below All. And OAA—One Above All."**

Odin and Frigga went still—eyes widening, breath caught.

Thor and Loki just stared blankly at Roy.

Loki whispered:

"Brother… are you saying—"

Roy nodded.

"Yes. Only two beings in existence stand at the OAA level.

One is TOAA—my friend.

The other is… me."

The hall went silent.

Then:

THOR: "YOU CAN DESTROY A MULTIVERSE?!"

ROY: "If I wanted."

LOKI: "We should never anger him."

THOR: "Agreed."

Frigga actually laughed softly.

Odin whispered:

"My youngest is a god above gods…"

Origin of Roy's Lovers

Odin asked carefully:

"Death and Infinity… what are their origins?"

Roy answered:

"Death is the ruler of all souls.

Infinity is one of the first primordials—older than universes."

Thor nearly fainted.

Loki slid down the wall.

Odin just stared.

Frigga smiled proudly.

"Such powerful daughters-in-law…"

Roy's Solution for the Throne

Odin sighed.

"But the matter of succession—"

Roy cut in.

"Then divide Asgard's rule into two parts."

Odin's eyebrows raised.

"Explain."

Roy pointed to Thor.

"Thor handles INTERNAL AFFAIRS.

Asgard itself—its armies, roads, citizens, food, laws."

Then he pointed to Loki.

"Loki handles EXTERNAL AFFAIRS.

Politics, diplomacy with other realms, magic treaties, cosmic interactions."

Odin slowly nodded.

"…This is brilliant."

Loki smirked with pride.

Thor puffed his chest.

Roy clapped Loki's shoulder.

"Congratulations, brother. You're king now—externally."

Loki bowed dramatically.

"An honor, brother."

Thor blinked in confusion.

"Roy… what is internal and external aff—"

Everyone—Roy, Loki, Hela, Odin, Frigga—stared at Thor like:

"Did he forget his brain before birth?"

Roy explained patiently.

Thor nodded proudly when he finally understood.
