"Are you from Asgard?" Thor asked incredulously.
Facing his inquiry, Syd glanced at him and replied casually, "You're overthinking it."
However, neither Thor nor Sif and the others believed him. Even Loki, hiding in the shadows, as well as Heimdall and Odin from Asgard, doubted his words.
They all felt that this mysterious man in white must have a deep connection with Asgard. His current claims seemed like a cover.
After all, the evidence had been right before their eyes!
Noticing the curious, puzzled, and inquisitive looks on their faces, Syd's lips twitched slightly.
Then, he lost interest in dealing with them. After one last glance at Thor holding Mjolnir, feeling a bit regretful, he prepared to leave.
Seeing his movements, Thor quickly chased after him, persistently saying, "You can't be a mere Midgardian. You must be from Asgard. Tell me your true identity!"
"What kind of god are you?"
Suddenly, he speculated, "Could it be... you're my father's illegitimate child?"
His casual remark caused Sif and the others to exchange glances, filled with suspicion and uncertainty.
Maybe, perhaps, it's possible...
Otherwise, how could they explain the divine power emanating from this man in white?
They hesitated in their thoughts.
In the shadows, Loki's eyes widened, and his gaze turned sharply towards Syd, filled with complex emotions.
In Asgard, even though Heimdall was still frozen, hearing this statement made him shiver inwardly.
He felt a bit dazed.
This explanation made sense...
Even Odin, in his Odinsleep, couldn't help but have a moment of doubt upon hearing Thor's words, despite knowing it was impossible.
This man in white did seem somewhat...
Odin's mind was filled with uncertainty.
On Earth.
Hearing Thor's increasingly outlandish speculations, Syd was speechless.
Shaking his head, he let his hands glow red, lifted off the ground, and quickly flew away.
"Who exactly are you..."
Watching him fly away, Thor's curiosity deepened. If it weren't for Sif and the others and the pressing matters at hand, he might have chased after him.
He swore to uncover this man's identity later!
"Thor, are you just going to let him go?"
"This man in white seems to be connected to Asgard and might even have the gift of prophecy..." Sif said doubtfully.
"There will be another chance..." Thor replied, looking at them.
As they talked, Loki, hidden in the shadows, had already slipped away quietly.
He returned to Asgard and, following his plan, used the Eternal Spear, the symbol of the king's authority, to open the Bifrost, allowing the Frost Giants into Asgard.
"Welcome to Asgard," Loki said.
Laufey, the leader of the Frost Giants, with his dark blue skin and red eyes, looked satisfied.
They then headed to Odin's chamber, planning to help Loki kill Odin as per their agreement.
However, things didn't go as planned.
When Loki reached Odin's chamber, after repelling the guards and Frigga, he spoke triumphantly to the sleeping Odin.
"It's said you can hear and see everything while in the Odinsleep. I hope that's true!"
Laufey, with a smug expression, formed an ice blade in his right hand.
"So you'll know it was I, Laufey, who killed you!"
Just as he was about to strike Odin, a beam of light shot from behind him.
It was the sound of Odin's artifact, the Eternal Spear!
With a sizzling noise, Laufey screamed as the yellow beam hit him, sending him flying and leaving him severely injured and unable to move.
"And the one who kills you is Odin's son!"
Loki, clad in armor, said coldly as he looked at the fallen Laufey.
He then mercilessly raised the Eternal Spear again.
Laufey looked at him in disbelief.
Before Laufey could reveal the truth, Loki began his cover-up.
A yellow beam shot from the Eternal Spear, hitting Laufey. In an instant, Laufey's superhuman body turned into particles of light and scattered, completely disintegrating.
Seeing this, Frigga, who had been knocked down nearby, got up in relief.
"Loki, you saved your father!"
She walked over and embraced Loki excitedly.
As they shared this moment, Heimdall, summoned by Thor, broke free from his icy prison and activated the Bifrost, transporting Thor and his companions back to Asgard.
Thor arrived just in time to witness the recent events.
At this moment...
"I swear to you, Mother, I will make them pay for today's deeds!" Loki vowed.
Seeing this, Thor stepped forward and called out, "Loki!"
Frigga was delighted, "Thor, I knew you'd return."
After hugging her, Thor walked towards Loki, "Why don't you tell Mother how you sent the Destroyer to kill me and my friends?"
"What?" Frigga was shocked.
"I was only carrying out Father's last command..." Loki retreated step by step.
Thor, in disbelief, said, "You really are a master of lies."
Loki, a bit panicked, tried to stay calm, "It's good that you're back. Excuse me, I need to destroy Jotunheim."
With that, he used the Eternal Spear to knock Thor out of the hall.
As Thor fell, Loki hurried to the Bifrost control room.
Using the Eternal Spear, he activated the Bifrost, sending a massive energy beam towards Jotunheim, the land of the Frost Giants.
Under the immense power of the Bifrost, Jotunheim's ground began to collapse, causing panic and chaos among the Frost Giants.
Shortly after activating the Bifrost, Thor rushed in.
"It's too late to stop it. The Bifrost will split Jotunheim in two!" Loki said grimly.
Thor tried to intervene but was easily knocked away by the Eternal Spear.
"Why are you doing this?" Thor demanded.
Loki spread his arms, like a child seeking approval, "I want to prove to Father that I am worthy of being his son!"
"When he wakes, he will know it was I who saved him, I who exterminated the monstrous race. I am the true heir to the throne!"
