"You are my son."
Odin sensed that Loki seemed to know about his origins, but so what? To Odin, Loki was still his child.
"What else?"
Loki slowly turned around as he spoke. His skin had become indistinguishable from that of the Frost Giants—blue—and his green eyes had turned blood red like theirs.
Loki slowly walked towards Odin, speaking as he went.
"The Frost Casket isn't the only thing you stole from Jotunheim that day, is it?"
【“Yes.”】
"After the war, I entered the temple and saw an infant, a young descendant of the Frost Giants."
"Being abandoned is painful; you're left to fend for yourself."
"He's Laufey's son."
[Odin, lost in memories, recounted how he found Loki as an infant in the temple, and gently stroked the weeping Loki.]
As Odin gently stroked Loki, he gradually stopped crying, and his skin slowly changed from the blue of the Frost Giants to the skin tone of Asgardians and Earthlings.
"Loufi's son?"

Loki listened to Odin's words, and the part about Laufey's son was particularly unexpected for him.
【“Yes.”】
"Haha, why?"
Upon hearing Odin's affirmative answer, Loki felt a momentary unease and said...
"You've killed countless frost giants, why are you taking me with you?"
"You're just an innocent child."
Odin looked at Loki and said, "I thought Loki wouldn't discover the secret of my origins."
"Um, why do I feel like Odin taking Loki away was more intentional?"
Sitting in a corner of the classroom, Maple Syrup, also known as Hiiragi Tina, watched Odin talking to Loki on the light screen.
If he were just an ordinary child of the Frost Giant race, Tina Hiiragi might have thought there was some truth to Odin's words.
However, Loki happens to be the son of Laufey, the king of the Frost Giants, and his status is equivalent to Thor in Asgard.
They don't look like the kind of child who was abandoned at all.
"No, you must have another reason for taking me away. What is it?"
Loki felt that Odin must have some other purpose in taking him away.
Seeing Odin's lack of response, Loki, on the verge of emotional collapse, cried out.
【"tell me!"】
For over a thousand years, Loki, who considered himself a noble Asgardian, learned that he was actually a member of the Frost Giants, a race he had always looked down upon.
It's like telling someone who's lived in Beijing for many years, during their college entrance exam year, that they should go back to Henan to take the exam instead of Beijing.
The enormous difference was something Loki couldn't accept for a while.
"I hope that one day our two races can unite, form an alliance, and bring lasting peace, through you."
Odin also told Loki without hiding anything.
【"What?"】
Loki's voice trembled slightly.
"But all of that is irrelevant now."
"So, I'm just a stolen souvenir?"
"Trapped here, waiting to be put to use someday."
Why did you misinterpret my meaning?
Odin's idea was that if Thor became Queen of Asgard, he would find a way to make Loki King of Jotunheim, thus forging an alliance between the two races through the bond between the two brothers.
422: Thor: I'm going to take on ten S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"The idea is good, but it won't work."
Zhuge Cong thought of Loki and Thor in "If," and Odin probably wanted to create a relationship between the two races like in "If."
But if we were to actually do that, it would be better to do it like in "If," but of course, that's just a hypothetical scenario.
"You could have told me who I was from the beginning."
"Why didn't you say so?!"
"You are my son, I only want to protect you, I don't want you to be hurt by the truth."
Odin looked at Loki and said.
"What?! Me?! Am I some kind of monster that parents use to scare their kids before bedtime?!"
"No!"
"Now everything makes sense. Why have you favored Thor all these years?"
"Because no matter how much you say you love me, you will never let the frost giant sit on the throne of Asgard."
Odin slumped down as if deflated, while Loki stepped forward and pressed him for an answer.
At this moment, Loki lacked his usual elegance, composure, and debonair demeanor; instead, he resembled a child throwing a tantrum after being disfavored by his parents.
After speaking, Loki noticed that Odin, who had collapsed onto the steps, seemed unwell; Odin's eyes were closed and his breathing was weak.
Seeing this, Loki hurriedly shouted.
Loki is like a child; after deliberately angering his parents, he feels a pang of guilt, and upon seeing Odin fall, he instantly forgets his earlier rage.
【"guard!"】
"Guards, hurry, help me!"
Hearing Loki's shouts, the guards rushed in.
"Would Odin, the Allfather, really be so easily angered by Loki that he collapses here?"
Looking at the fallen Odin, Chitanda Eru was somewhat incredulous, and then she turned her gaze to Oreki Houtarou beside her.
"Odin's death almost means that Ragnarok is coming, but it is clearly not Ragnarok yet."
"So just think of it as Odin's delaying tactic."
After thinking for a moment, Houtarou Oreki came up with a very concise explanation.
"I see. It seems that the delaying tactic is indeed having some effect."
Chitanda Eru thought of Loki's anxious reaction when he saw Odin acting strangely. Sure enough, no matter how angry she was, she still couldn't let go of Odin.
"How did you get into that cloud?"
"And how do you manage to eat so much?"
At this moment, Thor, unaware of what was happening in Asgard, was still wolfing down his food, while in front of him stood the trio of Yui, Nariyuki, and Yuiga, who kept asking him questions.
"I like this drink."
To everyone's surprise, Thor ate another large bowl of food and then drank a large glass of Coca-Cola in one gulp.
After finishing his Coca-Cola, Saul picked up his glass and praised it.
"This thing is called Coca-Cola."
[Ogata Rizu said.]
"I like it, another one, please."
After speaking, Thor habitually swung the glass and smashed it to the ground. The glass shattered instantly, and the commotion drew everyone's attention in the shop.
"I'm sorry, I'll make it up to you."
[Fumino Furuhashi said apologetically to the staff in the store.]
"What do you mean by that?"
[Wei Wo Cheng Xing looked at Thor and said, Thor's slammed down like he was about to fight. If the others didn't know Thor might have some mental issues, they probably would have thought Thor was going to attack someone.]
"I told you, it's delicious and I really like it, I'll have another one."
[Sol looked at Yuiga Nariyuki and said.]
"Um, you can just say it."
"I already told you."
"What I mean is, you can speak properly."
