Chapter 568

~8 min read 1,479 words

Just as Helen's energy beam was about to hit Thor, suddenly, a magic barrier emitting a faint light blocked in front of Thor. Frigga's figure slowly descended from mid-air.

Because little Helen looked very inconspicuous under that beam of light, in the vast cosmic space, any small celestial fragment was much larger than Helen. If you didn't look carefully, you might think she was just a speck of dust in the universe.

Therefore, from Frigga's perspective, the one who emitted this beam of light was actually Stark. Although Frigga was very angry about Sif's injury, she would still instinctively protect her child. So, after she blocked that attack for Thor, she landed beside him.

And as the light slowly dissipated, a small figure floated in the air. The moment she saw her face, Frigga was stunned.

"Loki? How did you... you became smaller?" Frigga's first reaction was to rush up hurriedly and then hug Helen. And not until she got close to her did Frigga discover that it didn't seem to be Loki.

No one knows their child better than a mother, and Asgardians can also feel the divine power on each other. Frigga, who had been with Loki every day recently, was no stranger to Loki's aura. And this little girl in her arms looked very much like Loki, but it wasn't her.

Frigga slightly released Helen, supported her armpits with both hands, lifted her up, and then saw the Arc Reactor on Helen's chest that was still emitting light. It was obviously just outputting power and was currently recharging.

Suddenly, a figure flew to the opposite side of Frigga, and then picked Helen up from her hands. Stark supported Helen's back and pressed his gauntlet onto the Arc Reactor on Helen's chest.

Several small robots flew over and connected the mechanical parts of the two of them. Stark was repairing the Arc Reactor on Helen's chest. Just now he discovered that this old version of the Arc Reactor on Helen's chest had some malfunctions because the output was too large.

And at this time, Thor, who had exhausted his divine power, flew over. Before he could open his mouth to scold, Stark explained first: "First of all, this isn't a child born to me and Loki."

"How is that possible!

She looks exactly like Loki!

!" Thor roared.

"This was born to Loki! But it wasn't born to me and Loki!" Stark explained again.

"Then why is there your Arc Reactor on her chest?" Thor questioned.

"Humans are carbon-based organisms, the Arc Reactor is my creation, how could she possibly inherit..."

"Then you are using Loki's child to do experiments!"

"Wait a minute." Frigga suddenly spoke. She was much calmer than Thor, or rather, when she noticed Helen's appearance, she thought that this might be a child of Stark and Loki, but she wasn't as angry as Thor.

On one hand, it was because Frigga had spent more time with Loki. No one knows a daughter better than a mother. Frigga knew that if Loki wasn't willing, no one could force her. And judging from Loki's current level, it was unlikely that anyone could deceive her.

If this was indeed a child of Stark and Loki, it meant that Loki must have been willing. Whether out of emotion or interest, she must have had her purpose.

Frigga and Thor stood from different angles, so the conclusions they reached were different. Since Loki was willing, then actually, this marriage was more satisfying to Frigga.

What no one knew was that Frigga actually didn't approve of Odin's idea of trying to pair Thor and Loki together.

First of all, Thor currently definitely only treated Loki as a sister, and in his previous career as an older brother, Loki was still a younger brother. The two of them hadn't cultivated any feelings other than family affection. If Thor were directly made to marry Loki, Thor would definitely be awkward.

No matter what, Thor was now the God King of Asgard. Odin's era had already passed, and there was no need for friction between the new king and the old king because of this matter.

Secondly, it would be difficult for Asgardians to change their views on Loki for a while. They wouldn't be satisfied with Loki becoming the Queen of the Gods. And if they were forced to do it, even if Loki had this ability, it would definitely be very difficult at the beginning.

Frigga knew that Odin had other lovers, which was very common in Asgard. But Asgard was also a standard monogamous society, which meant that there could be many lovers, and they could even be titled as goddesses, but there was only ever one Queen of the Gods.

Asgardians would only acknowledge one Queen of the Gods. They had never heard of any Asgardian God King having two Queens of the Gods at the same time. Therefore, Asgardians had very high requirements for the Queen of the Gods. She must be powerful, beautiful, gentle, and virtuous, and every word and action must conform to the most traditional image of an Asgardian goddess.

But obviously, Loki wasn't that kind of person. Her ambition was truly too great, but Asgard could never accept a Queen of the Gods who interfered in politics, even if she only appeared in public occasionally.

Odin's political consideration of pairing the two together was fine, but in reality, it would only make both sides uncomfortable.

What's more, if Thor just abandoned Sif like this, it would inevitably be criticized. He first cleared out those stubborn factions, and then turned around and abandoned Sif, who had relied on the stubborn factions. This would easily make the people of Asgard feel that he was heartless, and thus everyone would feel insecure.

In short, Frigga had been worrying about how to break this situation. She also persuaded Odin, but Odin still felt that they should start from the overall situation, and even turned around and asked her to persuade the two children.

However, having been the Queen of the Gods for so long, Frigga wasn't a pushover either. Whether Odin was willing was one thing, and whether it could be done was another. Although Frigga didn't say or do anything on the surface, she had ways to make this marriage impossible.

And now, the opportunity had come. Frigga even felt that it might be precisely because Loki sensed Odin's intentions that she became ambiguous with Stark. With a demon god who could be promoted at any time standing in the middle, it was very difficult for Odin to forcibly break up the couple.

Thinking this way, Frigga felt that she must give her daughter a beautiful assist. So, she stopped the irritable Thor and opened her mouth to say: "I don't care how the two of you gave birth to this child, I just want to ask, you are her father, and Loki is her mother, right?"

"This..." Stark hesitated, and then briefly introduced to Frigga how this child came to be. Frigga frowned deeply as she listened. She said: "That is to say, this child is not only a child of you and Loki, but even a child of Thor?"

"My child? What does it have to do with me?!" Thor still hadn't reacted.

"If what he said is true, then what ignited this child's soul fire was actually your divine power, which is to say, you can also be said to be her father."

Thor opened his mouth in surprise. He stretched out his big hand, touched Helen's head gently, and then felt a familiar aura. Although it wasn't his divine power, this little girl's soul was indeed an Aesir.

Frigga looked at the two people with a serious face and said: "I don't want to pursue how this child came to be, but whether it's Loki or Thor, I should be this child's grandmother."

Stark admitted this point. After all, the one who struck people with a hammer at the beginning was Loki, and the divine power belonged to Thor, but both of these were princes of Asgard, that is, children of the Queen of the Gods. So no matter how you argue, Frigga was Helen's grandmother.

"Now, I hope the two of you won't reveal how she was born? Or rather..." Frigga looked into Stark's eyes and said: "Insist that she is the child of you and Loki, and has nothing to do with Thor."

"Why?" Stark asked.

Frigga glanced at Thor, who was still confused, but didn't answer this question directly, instead saying: "If Odin finds out that Thor has a child, then no matter what, he will definitely let this child return to Asgard to be raised by us."

"No." Stark shook his head. He looked at Frigga and said: "You should know better than me what Asgard will face."
