Chapter 47: Declaring You... Frost Giant
Lan Xingyu went to acquire his supplies after playing with Frigga for a while. After several months, his Asgard seasonings were almost used up. He also needed to help Tony get some special Ore and metals.
Lan Xingyu had just finished his big procurement when he heard the sound of Gungnir striking the floor echoing throughout Asgard.
Lan Xingyu knew Thor's coronation ceremony was about to begin, so he transformed into a Flash and arrived next to Frigga in the great hall.
He nodded to Odin as a greeting; after all, it wasn't appropriate for Odin to appear too intimate in the current situation. Otherwise, what would other Asgardians think? Would it shatter their worldview? Eh! It actually seemed quite fun, should he play around with it?
Just as Lan Xingyu was considering whether to play a trick, he was pulled to her side by Frigga in time. Seeing that he couldn't play around anymore, Lan Xingyu let it go.
Because armor had to be worn for the ceremony, a white light flashed again and again, and a golden Dragon was seen flying from bottom to top, circling Lan Xingyu. A set of extremely cool, golden-dominated armor covered Lan Xingyu's body.
The handsome appearance and cool look of this armor immediately attracted the attention of all Asgardians.
If someone from Lan Xingyu's previous life saw this, they would blurt out a "Holy crap." Because if you changed this armor to blue, that would be Kai's ultimate move!
Lan Xingyu didn't have any thoughts of plagiarism, accepting everyone's envious gazes with a righteous face. Just kidding, plagiarism? You find that penguin in Marvel for me first.
Before long, the palace was already packed with people. Thor was wearing his armor, holding Mjolnir in one hand. He walked forward proudly, playing with his hammer along the way. Even Sif felt embarrassed watching him.
Thor accepted everyone's cheers and came before Odin. He knelt on one knee, putting down the Mew Mew hammer and his helmet. He even winked at Lan Xingyu and the others. He was very mischievous. In Lan Xingyu's opinion, this guy still lacked a beating from society.
Thinking of Thor's future experiences, this beating seemed a bit harsh! It even made him fat...
While Lan Xingyu was distracted, Odin stood up and struck with Gungnir. The whole venue instantly became silent.
"Thor Odinson, my heir, my eldest son."
Odin couldn't hold it back anymore, and a glimmer of gratified tears appeared in his eyes, which made Frigga turn her head and look at Thor with gratification.
"Long has he been entrusted with the Mjolnir. This hammer was forged in the heart of a dying star. Whether used as a weapon to destroy the world or a tool to create the world, its Divine Power is unparalleled. It is the best companion for a king. I have guarded this place and the innocent lives of the Nine Realms since the founding of the great Asgard until today. Now, this moment has arrived."
Then Odin said solemnly: "Do you swear to protect the Nine Realms?"
"I swear."
"Do you swear to protect peace?"
"I swear."
"Do you swear to abandon all ambition and personal desire, and dedicate yourself to the prosperity of the Nine Realms?!"
"I swear!!"
"Then today, I, the All-Father Odin, declare you to be..."
Lan Xingyu clearly felt the pause in Odin's tone at this moment.
"--- Frost Giant!"
This stunned everyone. All the people waiting for the new king to ascend to the throne below exploded after Odin's words. The quiet and solemn venue was suddenly filled with countless sounds of confusion, especially the guests who began to look at each other.
"What's going on?"
"What does Your Majesty mean?"
"Frost Giant?"
Thor and The Warriors Three looked at Odin in unison, including Loki, who had started acting.
"Uh--- crowning Thor as a Frost Giant?"
Odin glanced at Watson and didn't have time to explain to him. He struck Gungnir on the ground, and the venue became quiet again.
Odin looked at the stage and didn't have time to explain. He struck Gungnir on the ground, and the venue became quiet again.
But Lan Xingyu could clearly feel a wave of power coming from the spear. Lan Xingyu knew that Odin was ordering Destroyer to take action. It seemed that those reckless Frost Giant had already made a move.
After Odin finished all this, he turned his head directly and said: "Frigga, I'll leave this to you. Thor, Loki, follow me to the vault!"
Thor knew something had happened in the vault when he heard Odin's words. He hurriedly picked up Mjolnir and stood up. After giving his mother a reassuring look, he followed Odin's footsteps with Loki. But everyone could see the anger on his face.
Seeing this scene, Lan Xingyu knew that Thor's path to self-destruction had begun. This was also the beginning of Thor's tragedy in the original work.
Yes, it was a tragedy. It seemed that all of Thor's growth was accompanied by loss. In the first movie, he thought he lost his brother; in the second, he lost his mother; in the third, he lost his father again.
Every growth was accompanied by pain. But Lan Xingyu believed that with him around, things would be different from now on.

Asgard - Odin's Vault.
Pieces of frost emitting cold air covered the floor and walls of the vault. Several Asgardian heroic warriors had already fallen to the ground. Sharp ice blades had taken their lives, and the bone-chilling cold had even frozen their corpses.
Several tall Frost Giant ignored their corpses and rushed towards their target for this trip — the Casket of Ancient Winters.
Just as they got the Casket of Ancient Winters, they saw the wall in front of them suddenly disappear. A giant steel giant emerged from the light — Destroyer!
The leading Frost Giant wanted to use the Casket of Ancient Winters to attack Destroyer, but Destroyer was faster. A thick, crimson beam of light instantly hit his chest. The Frost Giant's famously tough body was like thin paper under Destroyer's attack! The powerful energy instantly shattered him!
The fleeing Frost Giant didn't get away either. Subsequently, two energy beams destroyed the fleeing Frost Giant! Only a pile of corpse residue remained. After confirming there were no enemies, Destroyer disappeared into the light screen again.
The gate of the vault opened, and Odin walked in with Thor and Loki. Thor looked at the corpses of the heroic warriors on the ground, and his anger, which had been interrupted by the ceremony, rose again.
Thor looked at the corpses of the heroic warriors and said to his father: "The Frost Giant must pay the price for this!"
"They have already paid with their lives. Destroyer eliminated them and fulfilled its duty. There is no problem with the casket. Everything is fine," Odin said lightly.
Thor heard Odin's words with some disbelief and anger: "Fine? They broke into Odin's Vault. If they had stolen any Divine Artifact here—"
"They didn't succeed," Odin interrupted Thor.
"But I want to know why!"
Loki saw Thor's voice getting louder and louder, and his little expression became increasingly innocent. I have to say, the Oscars owe you a golden statue...
"I signed a truce agreement with Laufey, the King of the Frost Giant..."
"But they just broke the agreement! They think you are weak and bullyable!" This time it was Thor who interrupted Odin.
Odin slowly turned around, looked at the angry Thor, and asked calmly: "Then what do you want to do?"
Odin's eyes kept staring at Thor. How he hoped Thor could say what a qualified king should say.
"Just like you did before, attack Jotunheim, give them some color to look at, destroy their will, and make them never dare to step into Asgard's territory again!"
"These are just the thoughts of a warrior," Odin said with some disappointment. Thor did not give him the answer he hoped for.
"But this is an act of provoking war!" Thor began to get a little excited.
"This is just an individual act, and it is doomed to fail." The disappointment in Odin's eyes grew stronger...
"Can't you see how excessive they are!" Thor was already using a tone close to questioning.
"We will find and fix these loopholes in the defense—" Odin still said unhurriedly.
"But as the King of Asgard—"
"But you are not the King!!" Odin roared at Thor in disappointment.
Odin looked at the silent Thor, with a trace of anger in his eyes, but more of disappointment and sadness.
"Not yet..."
After Odin returned from the vault, Lan Xingyu went to find him. He wanted to do an experiment.
"You want to contact the Casket of Ancient Winters and the Eternal Flame?"
"Yes! I have a premonition that some Advanced energy has a great attraction to my body," Lan Xingyu said.
"Is that so? Okay, no problem. If you can fully absorb the Eternal Flame, then absorb it all. Leave some of its Origin in the Casket of Ancient Winters. Because I want to give the Casket of Ancient Winters to Loki." Odin's expression was a bit complicated.
"Don't worry, I know what you mean, and I can feel it too," Lan Xingyu said.
"You really felt it, huh? Will you think..."
"No." Before Odin finished speaking, Lan Xingyu gave him a positive answer.
"I know you might have had some purpose at the beginning, but after thousands of years of getting along, you have treated him as your real child. And because of your initial thoughts, you even feel guilty towards him... So even if he plays pranks every day and is even crowned the God of Mischief, you will still forgive him," Lan Xingyu said.
"Don't worry, leave future matters to me. Whatever Ragnarok, I will destroy it," Lan Xingyu said confidently.
"Thank you, Xingyu!" Odin sincerely thanked him.
"Hee hee."
Just as Lan Xingyu and Odin were chatting, a guard came to them, saluted, and said: "God King, Loki just told me that Thor took him, Sif, and The Warriors Three to crusade against the Frost Giant of Jotunheim."
"I know, you may go down!" Odin waved his hand to let the guard leave first.
"Cough..."
Watching the guard leave, Odin sighed. At this moment, the old man's face was full of fatigue.
He summoned his eight-legged horse and was about to head to Jotunheim.
"God King Odin, I will go with you! Wait, if things get out of hand, you can just take Thor and the others back," Lan Xingyu said.
"Hmm! Thank you! Xingyu." Hearing Xingyu's words, Odin felt the pressure lighten instantly. Odin suddenly realized that sometimes having a backer really felt good.
"It's nothing! Don't forget, I am a Prince of Asgard. Whoever offends Asgard, even if they are far away, must be punished!" Lan Xingyu said righteously.
At this moment, Odin felt that he was witnessing a strong man rising as fast as a comet.
