Sylvie deeply furrowed her brows, seeming incredulous. Seeing her expression, the diator knew if he did not elucidate now, there would certainly be trouble. Hence, he asked, "What are your plans for visiting the Nine Major Kingdoms?"
Sylvie seed a bit flustered, but Loki clearly walked up and said, "We are going on a family visit, we have a relative who married into the Warner God Tribe as well, you must know they like intermarriages with the Immortal Species."
"The place where my sister and I work is quite remote. We haven't been out in thousands of years, and we really didn't know that such a massive event occurred in the cosmos ...." Loki put on a clueless expression and pleaded, "You must tell us what's recently happened. If we go there without knowing anything and offend soone, it'll be trouble...."
The diator sighed deeply, asking them to sit on the sofa. He said, "You Immortal Species really don't get it, often hibernating in one place for thousands of years. Who would dare try to teleport sowhere not knowing what has happened in the universe?"
"Forget it, seeing as you are one person handling a child, it's not easy. If you're looking for the Warner God Tribe, you can't teleport to the edge. The territory originally belonging to the Kree Empire has all been incorporated into Asgard. It's incredibly far to get to the Warner God Tribe from here ...."
"What on earth happened?" Sylvie pretended to be calm, but everyone could hear the urgency in her tone. The diator shook his head and began to speak.
"Let tell you the most important thing first. Thor is the ruler of Asgard now, you must've heard of her. She was the Grand Princess before, and now she is the Queen of Asgard."
About 2000 years ago, Tor defeated her mother, Odin, and beca the new Queen of Asgard. Imdiately after her ascension, she started the second Great Interstellar War of the millennium ..."
"This war was even more fierce than the previous one between the Kree Empire and the Skrull Empire. Both sides almost broke into the other's capital, but in the end, the Queen Thor definitively settled the matter with her strong power. She killed the Supremacy of the Kree Empire and destroyed their capital completely ... "
"Asgard didn't gain an advantage from the war, they have a small population, so they had no way to control the territory of the Kree Empire completely, and they weren't able to plunder many resources; it could be considered a mutual defeat."
Loki and Sylvie were both taken aback, visibly shocked. But Loki quickly regrouped and looked at the diator, asking, "The other two empires didn't make any moves?"
"The Skrull Empire wanted to take advantage of the situation ... " The diator furrowed his eyebrows, and said, "But who would dare to provoke Thor? With one strike of her lightning, she reduced the capital star of the Kree Empire to dust. She has absolutely lost it."
"But .... why would they fight in the first place?" Sylvie still seed incredulous. She said, "In the last few hundred years of Odin's reign, wasn't she trying to put her weapons into storage and retire her military?"
The diator sighed deeply and said, "Who can truly understand the affairs of the Royal Family?"
Looking at his reaction, it was clear to Loki that more was going on behind the scenes. However, at that mont the diator stood up and said, "I have other clients. You two take the travel permits and directly teleport to the territory of the Warner God Tribe. They have trade access there."
"Once there, rember to never bluntly call the new Queen by her na, she has a terrible temper. If you don't want to be struck dead by lightning, then stay quiet...."
The diator waved them off, then left. Loki and Sylvie exchanged glances seeing urgent and confused emotions in each other's eyes.
The two hastened to the teleport station. As the Shi'ar Empire was a comrcial empire, their free teleport gate was the largest in the universe. Because they welcod all Races to use their teleport gate, the daily throughput here was imnse.
Loki and Sylvie queued for several hours. During the intervals, Sylvie kept muttering as if she was expressing her thoughts to Loki, and also as if she was comforting herself.
"Thor is not this kind of person, I know... I know she has a bit of a temper, she has been like this since she was little, but she is actually... My sister, she is quite gentle. How could she usurp the throne?"
"And she's not the kind of person who likes to cause unnecessary slaughter. Even if Odin is ruthless, she shouldn't..."
Sylvie clearly seed flustered. It could be plainly seen that she actually didn't care about Odin. She just couldn't comprehend Thor's current situation, causing her extre anxiety.
Without ntioning their bet, Loki already knew that like him, Sylvie cared most about Thor.
He couldn't help but recall, during the hundreds of years before the darkest day, he and Thor were inseparable.
During that ti, they were young, didn't have to go to battle and didn't have any howork. They spent each day exploring nature.
Because Thor was older and more familiar with many places, and also was outgoing and likable, she always led Loki around different places for fun.
At that ti, Asgardians didn't hold any prejudice against them both, and carefully raised these two little princes. But during those tis, Loki was more introverted and not good at social interaction. Many tis when troubles arose, Thor would help to settle them.
If one were to look at Loki's life from the beginning, perhaps the dividing line would not be the day that Odin decided on succession. Although, on that day, Loki felt disappointed and felt parental bias.
But what made Loki feel sadder was that from then onwards, Thor didn't have as much ti to spend with him. She had to hone her martial skills, learn how to govern, build relationships with other young companions, and occasionally accompany the army on expeditions.
Loki knew that he was indeed being abandoned. But he was not abandoned by Odin, or admittedly, being abandoned by Odin didn't matter, the Father of All Gods was very busy in the first place, obviously not having ti to accompany him.
Loki was abandoned by his brother who was inseparable from him, grew up together, and was his best friend.
In his mory, on the darkest of the days, the mont of ultimate darkness was when Odin, under the sunset of Asgard, led Thor across the long Fairy Palace Bridge.
In that scene, Loki stood alone at the head of the bridge, bidding them farewell as they left.
