Thor ignored Loki's words and stated his purpose directly.
He had no time for small talk; every minute he wasted meant another Asgardian would die protecting the capital.
Even so, they can only hold out for thirty minutes at most.
"You don't know their purpose? It seems you rarely read books, brother."
Loki stood up with a smile and pointed to a button on the wall outside the prison.
"you say."
Without a word, Thor pressed the button, and the prison barrier slowly disappeared, revealing Loki.
“The story Frigga told us was modified. I borrowed the book, and it said that the Dark Elves needed an artifact called the ‘Aether.’”
Loki stretched his stiff neck and said.
"So, if we find this artifact, we can defeat the Dark Elves?"
After listening to Loki's explanation, Thor clenched his fist excitedly: "Then let's hurry and ask Father to produce the Aether!"
"You don't actually believe that the Ether particles are in Asgard, do you?"
Loki glanced speechlessly at his physically strong older brother.
"That……"
"The Nine Realms will soon converge, a phenomenon that occurs once every five thousand years. The Dark Elves are preparing to use this opportunity to plunge the universe back into darkness, and the space where the Aether particles reside will inevitably experience disturbances."
"The Dark Elves' invasion of Asgard may be because they were unaware that the Rainbow Bridge had been destroyed, or perhaps they simply wanted revenge."
Loki began to speak earnestly.
Thor felt that his younger brother's personality seemed to have changed quite a bit, but now was not the time to doubt it.
Where exactly are those ether particles?
"You should ask Heimdall."
"Then let's go quickly!"
Thor was taken aback, and he also thought of his friend... who could see every corner of the Nine Realms.
The two rushed to the front lines one after the other. Loki unleashed an energy blast, repelling the dark elves that Heimdall was fighting.
"Loki, how did you get released? Was it Thor's doing?"
Heimdall turned around and was horrified to see Loki, who had been imprisoned, being released.
"Heimdall, forget about all that! Quickly use your power to find where the Aether particles are! This is the key to defeating the Dark Elves!"
Thor shouted anxiously.
"Defeat the Darkness"
Chapter 228 Frigga Severely Injured
Thor, after hearing Loki's advice, slapped his forehead and then looked at Heimdall: "Brother, it all depends on you. We must find the Aether. I'm going back to Father to restore my power!"
Having said that, he grabbed Loki and ran back towards the center of the royal city.
Heimdall remained where he was, but did not immediately.
Begin searching for ether particles.
“Loki, something seems off.”
Heimdall examined Loki carefully again, but found nothing unusual, so he stopped paying attention and...

“Loki, something seems off.”
Heimdall examined Loki carefully again but found nothing unusual, so he stopped paying attention and began searching the Nine Realms.
Time was running out for him to do anything else. In order to protect Asgard, even if Loki was currently plotting something, he had no time to stop him.
"Father, the dark elves are invading! Please temporarily release the seal on me, and I will fight them to the death!"
Thor approached Odin, knelt on one knee, and earnestly pleaded.
"That's certainly not a problem, but why did you release the prisoner Loki?"
Odin sat on his throne and slowly opened his remaining eye, looking at the two of them.
Loki is also part of Asgard, and he is willing to fight against the invaders.
Thor nudged Loki beside him, signaling him to say something.
"Yes, Father."
Loki nodded blankly.
"Alright... but you mean temporarily dispelling your divine power?"
Odin looked at Thor with a puzzled expression.
Could it be that he's become addicted to the seal and enjoys the feeling of being a mortal? In fact, Thor really is addicted.
As the saying goes, no man can resist the temptation of transformation, and Thor is no exception.
The feeling of transforming from an ordinary person into Thor and showing off is much more satisfying than simply appearing as Thor. More importantly, with each transformation, he feels his strength increases slightly.
"Fine, I'll break the seal for you. If you wish to remain sealed, come back to me after it's over."
Odin shook his head, stepped down from his throne, and, holding the Spear of Eternity, approached Thor: "In the name of the King of Gods, I hereby lift... the banishment of Thor."
Crack! Lightning flashed, and countless fragments of armor reformed onto Thor's body.
"Very good!"
Feeling the return of full power, no longer just a "quickie" for half an hour.
Thor excitedly grasped the incoming Mjolnir.
"Oh no!"
A "dissident"
An Asgardian soldier rushed in, kneeling on the ground: "Reporting to the King of Gods, there has been a riot in the prison! Dark elves were among the prisoners brought into the cells yesterday, and they have broken through the cells!"
"What!"
Thor, Loki, and Odin all changed their expressions.
The presence of dark elves in the prison means they were deliberately captured to coordinate an attack on Asgard from within! More importantly, Thor and Kiana had just left the prison, and on their way there, to avoid being discovered, they knocked out the two remaining guards. Now, this guard's report indicates that the dark elves had already left the prison and accomplished some nefarious purpose.
"Take us there quickly!"
Thor stepped forward and grabbed the guard, speaking anxiously.
"As you command!"
The guard struggled to his feet, grabbed his weapon, and led Thor out first.
Odin and Loki exchanged a glance and followed closely behind.
High atop a tower in the heart of the royal city, a dark elf stroked a black blade in his hand, looking utterly confident of victory.
"I never imagined that a thousand years later, Asgard would have fallen so low, with even the Rainbow Bridge destroyed."
"It seems that today is the day Asgard will fall."
"Witch, help us find the Aether, and I'll spare your life."
The dark elf raised his blade and aimed it at Frigga in the distance.
"I think you're telling a joke that's not funny at all."
Frigga calmly observed the intruders, showing no fear whatsoever.
You refuse.
"What I mean is, you know I'm a witch, yet you still dare to stand here and talk to me for so long."
As soon as Frigga finished speaking, black smoke suddenly billowed from the bodies of several dark elves.
"Ahhhh!!"
The intense pain caused the dark elf to cry out, alerting Thor and his companions in the distance to their location.
"They're with their mother!!"
Thor, who was traveling at a normal pace, was now furious. He brandished his hammer and charged straight at the sound.
The surrounding walls and pillars were all smashed by the hammer, but none of this could stop Thor's determination to save his mother.
"You're courting death!"
Feeling the intense corrosion coursing through his body, the dark elf gritted his teeth and threw a grenade at Frigga.
—Black Hole Grenade.
"No!!!!"
Thor, witnessing this, cried out in anguish.
He had seen the black hole grenade during his battles on the front lines.
With his speed, he could dodge the black hole grenade before it hit him.
However, ordinary soldiers cannot avoid it; the black hole grenade will suck the entire person into it, and whether they are turned into pieces or trapped in the black hole, no one knows.
At that moment, the black hole grenade had already landed at Frigga's feet, shattered, and the black hole began to distort.
"No!!!"
Thor suddenly remembered something, raised the hammer, and threw it forcefully at Frigga.
Thud! The hammer slammed into Frigga's head, sending her flying.
