"Thor's power!?"
"Does Alaric also have divine power?!"
"He's really an Asgardian!?"
"How is that possible!!"
...
Alaric's appearance, as if the true god of thunder had descended, once again caused a scream of surprise from everyone!
As Asgardians, they could feel that it was a shock of divine power, not just manipulation of natural elements.
That's why they were even more shocked!
Alaric was actually a god!
A god like them!?
Look at Alaric now, he looks more like Thor than Thor who bears the name of the god of thunder!
Indeed, at that moment, Thor felt unworthy of the name God of Thunder!
Because he couldn't manifest it!
It was clear that the power of the god of thunder existed in his body, but since he lost Thor's hammer, he couldn't control the divine power within him!
...
"Queen of the Gods, is Alaric also a god?"
Sif, who had a good relationship with Frigga and was even chosen to marry Thor in the future, approached Frigga and asked.
"He is." Frigga nodded.
"Then he's... our Asgardian?" exclaimed Sif.
"Not quite."
"Then he's..."
"His origin is very mysterious, I can't say until Alaric regains his memory."
Frigga shook her head.
"Mysterious origin… regain memory…"
Now Sif finally understood why Alaric came from Earth, yet had the identity of a god.
At the same time, he was acknowledged by both Odin and Frigga, and Thor and Loki were told to call Alaric uncle!
Alaric must be an ancient god from the same era as Odin!
Only, for some reason, he lost his memory and lived as an ordinary man on Earth.
Just like how they would sometimes strip prisoners of divine power and exile them.
Maybe… Alaric was also one of the exiled?
Or a reincarnation of some god?
...
Alaric's origin is mysterious? Regain memory?!
Jane, who was nearby, heard Frigga's words and quietly pondered.
But didn't Alaric once say he wasn't a god from mythological tales, but a new god?
What's really going on here?
Jane wanted to ask Frigga why, but seeing that Frigga wasn't willing to speak, she gave up the idea.
...
"Thor, are you going to give up?"
Alaric looked at the struck Thor and asked.
"I… If you win, Mjolnir will belong to you from now on, and the name God of Thunder will also be yours."
As if he had completely lost his fighting spirit, Thor lowered his head.
"..."
Thor's expression made Alaric frown.
Was Thor really so weak that he couldn't take a hit?
That would be a big problem!
Or was Alaric wrong and went too far?!
Frigga also looked at Thor with worry, would this child break down in the future?
It's just a duel!!
However, it was clear that Thor had really gotten used to everything going smoothly, and Thor, who had never been defeated, was now struck by Alaric's overwhelming force and truly lost his confidence.
Loki on the side wasn't smiling; he frowned, looking at Thor with such an expression for the first time, and felt very uneasy.
It reminded him how Alaric's magic had tricked him and how he had experienced the pain of losing Frigga, Odin, and Thor.
"Thor! What are you doing! You are Odin's son! The bravest warrior of Asgard! Are you going to give up!?"
Sif suddenly stood up and scolded Thor loudly.
"Exactly! Thor, stand up!"
"Stand up! Don't make me despise you! Aren't you a warrior even without Mjolnir!?"
"Thor!!"
...
The four warriors of the Hall of Immortals were cheering, encouraging, and supporting Thor!
"Thor, have you forgotten what your father Odin and I taught you?" Frigga also spoke.
"Mother… I haven't forgotten!"
Thor's expression changed, his mood slowly lifted.
"Thor, if you admit defeat here, you'll withdraw from the succession of the God King yourself; let me be the next king, Asgard doesn't need a coward!"
Loki looked at Thor and said indifferently.
"Loki!! I am not a coward!!"
At that moment, Thor could no longer endure!
Thor's two triggers, Mjolnir and Loki.
The first attempt failed, but the second succeeded!
Thor stood up and faced Alaric once again, lightning flashing in the air.
At that moment, Alaric felt like a great villain, and Thor like the protagonist of an anime burning with fighting spirit!
After receiving encouragement from everyone, he ignited like a small universe!
Thor, who had exploded once again, rushed at Alaric.
And then…
After a flash of electricity, Thor slammed into the street.
Thor, stunned by the shock, fell to the ground and couldn't stop twitching.
Everyone who saw it twitched at the corners of their mouths.
You're Thor!
Oh, god who rules over storms and thunder!
How could you be struck by lightning!!
And you're even using the power of the God of Thunder!!
Everyone shook their heads at the same time.
"Sif, I leave Thor to you, I'm going back to rest." Frigga sighed and turned to leave.
"Ahem, I'm going back to my drink." Loki coughed twice and returned to the hall with his glass.
"Well, I didn't finish eating…"
"Me neither, I'm still a little thirsty!"
"Then, shall we drink a little more?"
"Let's go!"
...
Lying on the ground but conscious, Thor saw this scene and was overwhelmed with sorrow!
Look at me!
Can't you people carry me inside and continue drinking!?
I haven't drunk enough yet!!
Thor was full of grief and rage!
Thinking that he lost his hammer, Thor could barely hold back tears!
Then he threw his head back and fainted.
Only Sif, shaking her head, walked up to Thor, picked him up, and carried him back.
"Ah, what an idiot."
Hearing Sif, who was still muttering about Mjolnir, Thor couldn't help but scold her.
...
"Alaric! You're amazing!" Jane threw herself into Alaric's embrace.
"Of course~" Alaric hugged Jane and nodded.
"Are you going back to Earth or staying in Asgard?"
"Sister Queen of the Gods arranged a room for me, I'm not going back today," Jane replied.
"Huh? Then where will I sleep? Should I go back to Earth to sleep?" Alaric looked confused.
"We can… sleep together…" Jane buried her head in Alaric's embrace and whispered softly.
"What?! I didn't hear that!!"
"We can sleep together," Jane said, embarrassed, raising her voice.
"Let's go! Where's your room!" Alaric picked up Jane and flew off.
"Over there…"
...
The soft starlight spilled through the window.
Alaric looked at Jane's enchanting face and was very satisfied.
Compared to the joy of Thor acknowledging him as uncle, it was nothing next to Jane's love for him!!
"Why aren't you sleeping?" Jane leaned into Alaric's arms, her voice soft like a lake.
"I can't sleep… Jane, you're so beautiful~" said Alaric, bending down to kiss her, and his hands were anything but honest.
"Mmm… wait! I can't!"
"It's not a problem, I'll give you a blessing first…"
