Sebastian stared at Loki, who gripped Gungnir and had turned the Rainbow Bridge into a star-destroying weapon. He itched to blast this trickster with a single Expelliarmus and snatch Gungnir from his hands.

However, his Expelliarmus spell had no effect on mighty weapons like Gungnir or Mjölnir. It only worked on common weapons, and those had to be held in hand. Even Tony’s armor was immune. For Sebastian, this spell was mostly for disarming foes with guns.

“Loki, you will destroy the nine kingdoms like this!”

“No, the nine realms will not be destroyed. Asgard will remain intact.”

As he spoke, Loki yanked out Gungnir, and used the God-King’s authority to freeze the electric current from the control core, icing the entire Rainbow Bridge along the current, fully blocking any chance of stopping it.

“My dear brother, no one can stop me from destroying Jotunheim now. When Father wakes, I’ll be Asgard’s greatest hero. I’ve done what Father and you… could not do.

I am the one truly fit to be Asgard’s crown prince. I should be the future God King, not you, a reckless fool who only fights and has no brains at all!”

Before he finished, Loki suddenly thrust Gungnir, and golden light spread across the ground, stirring the sea below the Rainbow Bridge into a massive wave, rolling toward Asgard.

At this time, Thor and Loki locked eyes in silence, and Sebastian sighed.

The fight for the throne was the same old tale, everywhere, all through history… Merlin’s beard, what a show.

Of course, this scene would be more fun if Earth’s safety wasn’t at stake, but now I’ve got no time to enjoy the drama.

The wand in his hand rose slowly, and a fiery heat radiated from Sebastian’s body, catching Loki’s and Thor’s eyes.

“Sebastian, what are you doing…”

“Thor, if you keep stalling, the Rainbow Bridge’s attack will hit not just Jotunheim, but Earth too. If you can’t act, I will. Either stop the Rainbow Bridge or smash it to bits!”

As soon as he spoke, Sebastian waved his hand and shot a stream of molten plasma, which hit the Rainbow Bridge and sparked a surge of electric current, making the bridge shake wildly.

“Stop it!”

Loki swung Gungnir, and golden light burst out, pushing Sebastian back.

At this time, Sebastian glanced at Sif and Heimdall lying nearby. He flicked his wand gently, and the two floated toward Asgard, landing safely mid-bridge.

Then Sebastian dodged Loki’s attack again, and waved his wand. The sea below the Rainbow Bridge surged and formed towering water columns. Under Sebastian’s control, it shaped a giant palm of water above the Rainbow Bridge and crashed down toward it!

“Blast it!”

Loki tapped Gungnir’s power and his Frost Giant blood. An icy blue light shot from Gungnir, freezing the water solid, which then shattered into countless ice chunks that tumbled down.

At this moment, Sebastian was ready for this. He waved his wand again, and the falling ice chunks swiftly changed course and flew at Loki with lightning speed.

Waddiwasi!

Bang bang…

Boom boom boom…

Seeing this, Loki silently muttered a spell, and his body split into countless copies. Each raised Gungnir in hand and fired golden rays at the incoming ice. It became a golden rain of light, blocking every ice chunk and smashing them to bits in mid-air.

“Loki, if you don’t stop, I’ll have no choice but to get rough with you!”

“Thor, you can’t stop me!”

Countless Loki shadows charged at Thor, and Thor dove in, swinging Mjölnir. Every swing of Mjölnir crushed a swarm of Loki phantoms.

Sebastian teamed up with Thor at this time. He shook his wrist, and the wand traced an arc. Red light shot from the wand’s tip, and every Loki phantom it touched vanished into thin air.

Bang!

Thor struck one Loki with Mjölnir, sending him flying, clinging to the Rainbow Bridge’s edge with one hand, looking ready to fall.

Reaching out, Loki pleaded to Thor, “Brother, save me!”

Seeing this, Thor quickly crouched and extended his hand, trying to pull Loki up, but at that moment, Sebastian waved his wand and a red Stupefy shot out, passing through Loki’s body. Clearly, this was another illusion.

At this time, the illusion’s face turned cold. He glanced at Sebastian and sneered at Thor, “Thor, you are as stupid as ever.”

As the words fell, Loki’s true form appeared beside Thor, using Thor’s body to block Sebastian’s line of attack, and swung Gungnir to stab at Thor.

Bang!

Mjölnir clashed with Gungnir, sparking lightning.

Loki stumbled back, gritted his teeth, and swung Gungnir at Thor again. The two fought fiercely. Just as Loki was about to unleash Gungnir’s God-King power again, Gungnir, glowing gold, suddenly dimmed and became a plain spear, losing all its magic.

Without the God-King’s power, Loki was no match for Thor in a brawl. After just two or three clashes, Loki was knocked back, and Gungnir slipped from his hand to the ground.

Loki tried to rise, but Thor pinned him with Mjölnir, making it impossible for Loki to stand or cast spells smoothly.

Sebastian and Thor nodded, and quickly moved to the Rainbow Bridge, waving wands and casting spells, but they only rattled the bridge slightly and couldn’t halt its operation at all.

“Haha, hahahaha, you can’t stop it, you can’t stop it, my plan still succeeded!”

Hearing Loki’s taunt, Sebastian took a deep breath and said to Thor, “Thor, I’m going to wreck the Rainbow Bridge. You can’t make me pay for it.”

“As the Crown Prince of Asgard, I allow you to do so… as soon as possible!”

“Certainly!”

As soon as he spoke, Sebastian raised his wand again, and raging black-and-red Fiendfyre poured from the wand, swiftly engulfing the entire Rainbow Bridge. Under the Fiendfyre’s fury, the Rainbow Bridge was finally shaken!

The Fiendfyre roared fiercely, and under Sebastian’s control, it morphed into a massive fire demon, swinging its blazing arms and fiery wings, wildly tearing at the Rainbow Bridge.

At this time, Thor grabbed Mjölnir in one hand and hurled Loki aside with the other, using Mjölnir to unleash a mighty thunder that merged with the Fiendfyre, blasting the Rainbow Bridge.

Finally, under the combined fury of Fiendfyre and thunder, the Rainbow Bridge hit its breaking point and erupted in a dazzling explosion. The Rainbow Bridge lost all function, and the colorful light beams it fired faded swiftly. Though not fully destroyed, it was badly wrecked!

At this time, Loki scrambled to the front of the Rainbow Bridge. He dropped to his knees in disbelief. All his careful plans had crumbled in the end!

A weathered hand rested on Loki’s shoulder. Loki turned and saw Odin, standing behind him with Gungnir. A faint smile crossed Loki’s face, and he said, “Father, Laufey is dead. I could soon wipe out Jotunheim completely. Father, I could have crushed Asgard’s enemies!”

Looking at Loki, Odin’s eyes held warmth and sorrow, and he said slowly, “No, Loki, what you did was wrong.”

Hearing this, Loki’s smile vanished, and he said with reddened eyes, “So… Father, do you also think I’m wrong, like Thor?”

“Yes, Loki, I know you did this for Asgard and for me, but I must tell you your choice and actions were wrong. If not for your brother and this wizard from Midgard, you would have caused a terrible mistake, upsetting the balance and peace of the nine realms. You would have sparked a cruel slaughter!”

Without another word, Loki fell silent.

Seeing Loki’s state, Odin sighed and gestured to the Asgard warriors who had rushed over to take Loki away and lock him up.

But just as the two warriors led Loki away from Odin and the others, the Loki they held turned into a bubbly phantom, while the real Loki appeared at the Rainbow Bridge’s edge.

Turning to face Thor and Odin, Loki simply bid them farewell, then leaped into the sea below, vanishing completely before Odin and Thor.

Yet both Odin and Thor knew well that Loki wasn’t dead, but due to the chaos Loki caused in Asgard and the nine realms, Odin declared Loki had taken his own life, giving the nine realms an explanation and stance.

As for Sebastian, if the Rainbow Bridge were intact, Odin would not have let Sebastian linger in Asgard. Though he aided Asgard greatly, Odin would have sent him back to Earth with suitable rewards. But now, with the Rainbow Bridge broken and Asgard’s hidden passages either unknown or linked to other realms, Sebastian was allowed to stay until the Rainbow Bridge was fixed.

——————————–

Odin returned, restored order, and all seemed normal.

All was normal except that Thor often took to sitting on the Rainbow Bridge, gazing at the starry sky beyond.

A swirling space vortex opened behind Thor. Sebastian stepped out, handed Thor a big bottle of beer, and sat down with a glass of Asgard’s special red berry juice.

At this time, a month had passed since Sebastian stayed in Asgard. With Thor’s help, Sebastian gained free access to most of Asgard and its core magic library. Under Thor’s guidance, he met Frigga and became her student, studying Asgard’s magical knowledge, which was seen as repaying the debt Thor owed Sebastian.

Though Frigga’s own spellcasting wasn’t very strong, she was a master of Asgard’s magic theory and magical crafts. Naturally, she could teach Sebastian all sorts of Asgardian magical knowledge very well.

Lately, Frigga had been teaching Sebastian runes. Sebastian was fascinated by these magical runes that could harness natural forces. While studying runes, he also drew on ancient spell-words from his past life, words that could tap various powers. Sebastian wondered if he could blend these two systems and wield their combined strength for himself!

However, Sebastian hadn’t made progress yet. After all, he had only just begun learning runes and needed to study slowly.

Thor took a gulp of beer, nearly draining it, and grinned at Sebastian, saying, “Sebastian, how are your studies with my mother going recently?”

“Very good. Frigga is a kind and gentle person. Of course, she’s also a true master of magic. Maybe she’s not skilled at using magic to fight, but that’s because she chooses not to learn it. In terms of pure magical knowledge, Frigga is surely one of the greatest in the universe.”

“My father once said that my mother is the true magic library of Asgard. Frigga knows everything in Asgard’s magic library, and even things not found there.

It’s just that my mother doesn’t like teaching magic. She’s always thought magic brings fighting and ruin. I don’t know why she believes that, and whenever I ask, she won’t say.

I thought mother wouldn’t teach you, but I was surprised when, after I asked, she agreed to teach you magic. Maybe Frigga missed Loki so much after he vanished that she wanted to do something to ease her longing.”

Finishing the red berry juice in his cup, Sebastian said with a smile, “As the crown prince of Asgard, you must remember to stick to the story. Loki is dead, not missing.”

“Oh, it doesn’t matter.” Thor downed the rest of the beer and said, “Anyway, we’re the only ones here, and no one else can know the truth.”

“Hahaha, that’s right. There’s no one else here anyway.”

With that, Sebastian snapped his fingers, and the bottle in Thor’s hand and the cup in Sebastian’s hand refilled with beer and juice at once. Seeing this, Thor laughed and said, “This magic is really handy. If I weren’t so terrible at magic, I’d take the time to learn it just for this trick.”

“You could study it now. Even if you’re not great at it, you could probably learn this spell.”

“Well… forget it. Anyway, with you here, it doesn’t matter if I learn or not.”
