After resolving the situation with Fury, Alaric returned to Asgard.
He believed that after this incident, Fury would no longer send people to try to break into his temple.
Unless Fury didn't care about the lives of his people.
After all, this time Alaric's subordinates had shown mercy, otherwise Fury himself would have been destroyed by the lightning in the Thunder World.
And when Alaric returned directly to the library, Jane was no longer there.
Later, Alaric discovered that a banquet was being held in Asgard.
Not the small welcome banquet like during the day, but a very large one.
When he arrived at the banquet hall, Alaric found out that Thor had returned.
Once again, he had calmed the chaos in the Nine Realms and returned victorious.
Alaric said he had finally met the real Thor.
Well, no wonder Odin was so worried, feeling that his son wasn't serious enough.
Thor simply loved fighting too much!
Especially because he was very strong himself, so he basically didn't have to worry about his life, which after a hundred victories made him even more conceited.
Just like when he faced the Frost Giants, since they ruined the throne succession ceremony and attacked Asgard's vault, Thor was ready to destroy them all and even dared to enter Jotunheim alone with Loki and Sif.
Fortunately, in the end, Odin arrived and temporarily calmed the situation.
This also led to Thor being stripped of his powers and exiled to Earth.
Thus began Thor's life of losses.
He lost his parents, friends, sister, Asgard, even Loki.
In a word, tragic!
"Alaric!" Jane noticed Alaric entering and quickly ran toward him.
Because of the alcohol, Jane's cheeks were red and adorable.
"You finally came, the banquet is already ending!" Jane threw herself into Alaric's arms, full of joy.
"It doesn't matter, as long as you're here."
"Mmm~" Jane laughed happily when she heard Alaric's words.
"Divi— ahem, sister!"
Alaric instinctively wanted to say "God Queen," but Frigga stopped him with a glance.
"God King."
"Alright, sit down now that you've come."
Odin nodded.
"Yes, yes, sit." Frigga motioned him with her hand and let him sit beside her.
"Have you finished your work?" Frigga asked.
"Yes, it's resolved."
"Come, let me introduce you to my son, Thor. Thor! Stop drinking and come meet your uncle!!"
Frigga called out to Thor, who was drinking with the Four Warriors from the Hall of the Immortals.
"Haha! Thor, your uncle is here!"
"Yeah, go, meet your uncle!"
"Haha!"
Everyone was surprised to hear this, especially because they had heard strange stories from Loki.
After all, they had been in Asgard for years, but had never seen Odin have any brother or relative.
And now, according to Loki, Alaric was not only from Earth, the exiled realm, but also young and quite mysterious, which confused everyone present even more.
Especially Thor, who, with his impulsive nature, immediately went to Frigga to question everything.
In the end, he got a confirmed answer.
Loki, of course, had secretly been stirring things behind the scenes.
Since Alaric had mocked him last time and made him experience the feeling of losing loved ones, Loki didn't provoke Thor now.
Moreover, Thor had heard that Loki had recently calmed down and started studying, so he wasn't suspicious of him.
As cunning as Loki was, he knew he couldn't beat Alaric, so he started influencing Thor, leading him to become interested in Alaric.
At this moment, Loki was quietly drinking among the crowd, eagerly awaiting Thor's reaction.
He didn't even know if Thor could defeat Alaric, but… if he could?
Then the fun would begin!!
"Mother!"
Thor came with a cup in hand.
It had to be admitted, Thor drank well, aside from a red face, his steps were steady.
"Thor, this is Uncle Alaric I told you about! Come on, greet your uncle!"
Frigga enthusiastically brought Alaric and Thor together.
"Alaric? I heard you're from Earth? And also a mage?"
Thor looked at Alaric suspiciously.
Indeed, Alaric looked young.
According to Earth years, he was maybe twenty.
But in reality, he was over two thousand years old.
So Thor, who was now quite proud of himself, couldn't bring himself to call such a young man uncle.
After all, unlike Loki, Alaric had never beaten him, so there was no reason to submit.
Thor could only humble himself after losing his powers on Earth and becoming a mortal.
"Thor! What did I tell you?" Frigga became serious.
"Mother, sorry! Unless Alaric can beat me, I won't acknowledge him!"
"Alaric! I challenge you!!"
Thor first apologized to Frigga, then sent a challenge to Alaric.
"Thor, you!"
"It's alright, sister. We're both young, a little sparring doesn't hurt. It's all festive and lively~"
Alaric stood up and accepted the challenge.
"Good! I'll wait for you outside!"
Thor extended his hand and called Mjolnir, which immediately flew to him, then he flew outside and stood in front of the hall.
"Alaric, go easy on him."
Frigga had heard from Odin that Alaric had recently gained a new power, equal in strength to his.
So she didn't expect Thor to have a chance.
"Don't worry, sister!"
Alaric nodded and also walked out.
Loki took a cup and followed them, his face full of anticipation.
The Four Warriors also went out together, eager to see how powerful this Earth mage really was.
"Jane, let's go watch too."
Frigga pulled Jane along with her.
Only a few drunk and uninterested guests remained in the hall.
Odin didn't go either; he simply stood up and walked toward the chambers.
He didn't stop Thor but thought it would be good if Alaric taught him a hard lesson.
After all, Thor's skin was thick and durable!
...
"You can fly?" Thor asked in surprise, watching Alaric land lightly.
"Effortlessly."
"It may be effortless, but you won't catch my Mjolnir!" Thor laughed confidently.
"Maybe. Come on!" Alaric motioned for him to start.
"You want me to go first? Are you sure!?"
Thor said, if I throw the hammer first, it's over!
"Come on! Prove yourself a man!"
"I'm the bravest warrior of Asgard!!"
At Alaric's words, Thor immediately straightened up, radiating confidence and power!
Out of courtesy, he didn't immediately use the power of thunder, but threw the hammer at Alaric.
And then...
"How is this possible!?"
"NO!!"
