Chapter 409

Loki, who had descended as the Goddess of Radiance, showed no mercy; the rings of light behind her seemed to possess an effect of guaranteed hit, and no matter how Thor dodged, they always struck him.

The tide of battle gradually shifted, and everyone felt a chilling dread at this change.

Before this, no one believed Loki could truly defeat Thor; in their eyes, this prince who had always lurked behind the front lines casting spells was merely going through the motions—he would soon be chased into frantic flight by Thor, then roar, "Everyone, charge!" and unleash a chaotic mass battle.

But the current situation was clearly not so: when the rings behind Loki ignited simultaneously, she nearly crushed Thor under her assault; the new king's power that had once shaken their very souls now appeared utterly feeble against this guaranteed-hit force.

Along with the shifting battle, the mindsets of certain Loki followers also changed.

Until now, they had believed that even if the young prince ascended, he would merely be a puppet—he lacked sufficient strength, and that meant ample room for manipulation.
