"Bang~!"
The sprinting clone suddenly turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared. Just after getting off the plane operated by Saturday, Artoria received a large amount of information, including the clone's complaints and, most importantly, Artoria suddenly gained the clone's power.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering how I could only have this much power with the Dragon Factor; it turns out the bloodline hadn't awakened yet."
Feeling a certain switch in her body turn on, Artoria's holy emerald eyes turned into Beast slit pupils. Her blood began to race, and a massive amount of magic surged from her blood into her vessels. This feeling was wonderfully strange; Artoria closed her eyes in comfort. However, the faint dragon's might on her body began to become more solid. Within a five-mile radius, all animals and insects began to grow restless, as if a top-tier predator had appeared. Artoria's long golden hair moved without wind, and the ahoge on her head also stood up firmly, as if it had received new energy and a new life.
"Boom!"
The restless power made Artoria unable to resist throwing a punch at the ground. Without using Chakra, just pure physical strength, a loud boom echoed. Where Artoria stood, a large hole five meters wide and one meter deep appeared.
"Phew~!"
Artoria moved her wrists, feeling the magic filling her body. She couldn't help but place her right hand over her chest. Although she couldn't feel her heart beating with her hand, Artoria knew that heart was pulsing powerfully. Every cycle sent Artoria's magic throughout her body; there was no need to deliberately circulate it.
"Interesting, truly interesting."
With a casual leap from the pit, Artoria jumped eight meters away. Artoria had made a huge profit this time, but she still wanted to go and receive those two big gifts. If ordinary people drop holy grail stones (Fragments), then what would a 'god' drop? Artoria was very curious now. If she could dismantle Odin's Destroyer, what would drop? She deliberately went to touch Mjolnir to see Odin's attitude, and also to test her own hypothesis. She gave the Lizard Man to Gwen last time, and now she was going to try it. No matter what Odin chose, and regardless of Artoria's own feelings, for the sake of these unknown gifts, she was still going to mess with the Thor brothers.
"If only I pulled the 'Motor Armored Cavalry,' how great and overbearing that would be. Now that the East is too small to ride in, I'll just have to run myself."
Not staying in place, Artoria began to move rapidly. Her clone had already given her the coordinates. Although she knew the clone was unusual, it seemed the clone had developed its own personality. The fewer clones she made, the more obvious this situation became, whereas with more clones, such things basically didn't happen. But thinking about how she still had to travel using her two fair legs, Artoria felt a bit depressed. She hadn't pulled that overbearing 'Motor Armored Cavalry' motorcycle in so many card draws; just how bad was her luck? It really made one feel miserable.
"I'll just dismantle the Destroyer and turn it into a motorcycle!"
Thinking of that humanoid armor forged from special metal, Artoria's eyes lit up, and her speed increased significantly, quickly vanishing into the desert. With the clone's coordinates, Artoria wasn't afraid of getting lost at all.
"Are you alright, brother? Because of your issues, Father kicked the bucket not long after you left."
Loki spoke with seemingly considerable sorrow. He was lying, of course; that old geezer was alive and well, just sleeping after being fainted from anger. But Thor didn't know! He naturally believed what his good brother Loki said.
"How is Mother? Can I go back to see her?"
Thinking of that woman who worried about them all day, his heart felt a pang of distress. For the first time, the first time in his life as a god, he had such an emotion. Thinking of the days drinking and eating meat with his old Father, he felt a trace of regret.
"The new terms signed with the Frost Giants include not allowing you to return to Asgard. Sorry, brother! Even if I am the new King of Asgard, I cannot break this agreement."
Although his tone was very apologetic, Loki intentionally or unintentionally brandished gungnir in front of Thor, clearly saying, Father is the new king.
"Take good care of her for me."
"Of course I will; she is my mother too."
After chatting with Thor for a while, Loki left'sorrowfully (joyfully).'
"Heimdall, has anyone been here?"
Returning to Asgard, Loki's happy heart sank. This guy's attitude was still not very clear; he had to be taught a lesson.
"No one escapes my eyes."
Heimdall frowned as he looked at Loki. Although it couldn't be seen on his dark face, he actually felt a trace of opposition in his heart toward this guy becoming king.
"I once swore before the All-Father Odin that I would protect Asgard."
His words were clever and didn't say too much. He didn't guarantee anything to Loki, nor did he say whether he would step in to help when necessary. Heimdall, who had lived thousands of years longer than Loki, still had this bit of shrewdness to leave himself a way out.
"You must remember, I am now the King of Asgard. I am Asgard."
Loki said proudly, waving gungnir in his hand. He believed Heimdall would surely be loyal to him because he was the God-King and the ruler of Asgard. It was just that he hadn't remembered yet that Thor was the first in line for the throne, and besides, there seemed to be a super-violent big sister in existence. He had no chance of truly becoming the King of Asgard.
"Thor needs help; we must go to Midgard to help him."
After Loki left, the four of them slowly appeared at Heimdall's location. However, it seemed they didn't see Heimdall himself. But they were truly anxious, so looking at the sword that controls the Bifrost, they could only do it themselves. Meanwhile, Heimdall was closing his eyes in a place where the four couldn't see him.
"Heimdall, you actually dare to betray me."
Odin's divine spear gungnir could operate the Bifrost. Feeling the activation of the Bifrost, the calm face of Loki sitting on the throne instantly became dark and terrifying. He knew, of course, that his kingship was not legitimate, especially since he wasn't biological but an orphan of the Frost Giants. He had discovered this issue during the last fight with the Frost Giants; he wasn't afraid of the cold at all, and his body had turned blue. Wasn't that exactly what a Frost Giant looked like? He couldn't believe it for a time.
"Since you all oppose me and love my brother so much, then go and die!"
A ferocious smile appeared on Loki's face. With a movement of gungnir, a portal for the Bifrost opened beneath a Destroyer from Odin's vault, and a Destroyer instantly vanished from the vault.
