Chapter 96: Aaron Is Odin's Illegitimate Son? Thor Is An Adopted Son?
🕑 Added 2025-03-14 18:51:42 +0000 UTCUnder the influence of Thor's divine power, the sky changed completely.
People in the entire Aesir God Realm could look up and see the clouds covering the sky above the Golden Hall, with countless thunderbolts rolling unpredictably.
"Pretty good attack!"
"Thor has grown a bit,"
Odin nodded in satisfaction. Now, Thor had started to resemble a son to him.
This level of attack could even pose a certain threat to him.
If Odin fought head-on, even he would feel very uncomfortable.
This thunder was not pure natural lightning.
It contained some divine power and magic, making it quite impressive.
Moreover, this wasn’t Thor's true limit. After awakening his own ability, he would gain an even more powerful force zone.
Odin now saw a glimmer of hope.
At least Thor could still be saved; it was just that he was a bit conceited, arrogant, defiant, and a little foolish.
But that wasn’t a big issue—it was much better than Hela.
There was still a chance to turn it around.
After admiring Thor, Odin turned his attention to the real focus of the battle—Aaron!
Yes, in Odin’s mind, Thor was just a foil, and Aaron was the one to observe.
He wondered how Aaron would resist Thor’s thunder.
Would he avoid it?
Or stop it early?
Perhaps using portals?
Kamar-Taj’s mirror space magic was also a possibility.
Definitely, and Aaron’s best ability was shield magic.
Remember the last battle? Aaron's enchanted armor withstood Thor's two thunder strikes.
Odin was looking forward to it.
Thor was also anxious.
Aaron was the god of magic and knew many types of magic, making him a far more difficult opponent than Loki.
He wasn’t sure if he could land a hit.
So, to be on the safe side, Thor summoned all his power.
It was a little out of control!
Thor knew that this attack would be the moment of victory.
If he hit Aaron, he would win!
But if he missed, he would lose his title as the mightiest warrior of Asgard.
Aaron would replace him and become the most discussed god in people’s minds!
"Bring it on!"
"Under the witness of the gods!"
"Let’s see who is the strongest fighter!"
When the energy mobilization reached its peak, Thor no longer accumulated energy and aimed at Aaron, venting all the thunder!
One after another, thunderbolts fell like raindrops, sealing off all the space around Aaron.
Moreover, the speed of the thunder was so fast that people didn’t have time to react.
Faced with Thor's full-blown attack, Aaron stood motionless, making no other move under the eyes of everyone.
"What happened?"
Odin frowned; he didn’t understand what Aaron was doing.
At that moment, the thunder fell!
"Be careful! Get out of the way!" Sif rushed forward in a hurry.
"What are you doing? Why are you dazed at this critical moment?" Fandral shouted anxiously.
Hogan and Vostagg held Sif back, preventing her from rushing forward.
Because they knew that Thor's thunder was not something they could resist.
Only Thor, as the King of the Gods, could do something about it.
Clearly, they were not included.
Thor himself was confused by Aaron’s actions.
What was going on with Aaron?
Why wasn’t he dodging or taking any action against his attack?
This was a big move!
His previous attacks had been easily deciphered by Aaron.
Every move had been anticipated.
And now, Aaron was choosing to resist the thunder?
It was crazy!
At that moment, Thor thought of many things.
Then he stomped heavily and rushed toward the thunder, intending to pull Aaron out.
However, his movements were no match for the speed of the thunder.
The most terrifying thing still happened.
For some reason, Aaron didn’t use any magic to block it.
He didn’t evade in advance.
He just accepted it physically.
The first thunderbolt hit Aaron with precision!
The energy exploded in an instant!
The blinding light forced Thor to stop.
Then, the second and the third!
In the dazzling light, Aaron’s figure was faintly visible!
"Crazy! You’re a god of magic, not a god!"
Thor took a deep breath, his breath fluctuating gently, and then continued rushing forward to see what Aaron was doing.
He was now powerless to stop the thunder from falling.
To win, he had summoned the unprecedented Thunder Sea.
The falling thunder could no longer be manipulated, and he could only use his body to resist the thunder for Aaron.
After all, he was Thor, and he was fairly immune to thunder.
Only Odin remained calm, like Mount Tai.
He looked at Aaron, who had been struck by countless thunders, and saw his figure emerging from the midst of the storm, his eyes filled with confusion and surprise.
Because he discovered that, under Thor’s attack, Aaron actually stood firm without using any means!
He was just using his body!
What a powerful body this was!
Even Odin himself didn’t dare say he could face Thor’s thunder and be fine.
Even Thor might not be able to take it.
Gods are not omnipotent.
Although many people call Odin the Almighty God King, in fact, he is far from omnipotent.
It is an unattainable state.
If it were to deal with Thor’s blow, he would have many ways.
But like Aaron...
Difficult! Difficult! Difficult!
Perhaps when he was younger, there might have been a possibility?
Odin shook his head.
Time had passed. Years were merciless.
He realized it.
He was really old.
After seeing Aaron’s current performance, Odin silently turned and left.
There was no need to watch further.
Aaron had grown to a point where even he couldn’t suppress him.
There was only one option left for him: win him over.
Claim a powerful patron of magic for Asgard!
Fortunately, Aaron was born in Asgard.
Odin’s departure surprised Sif and the others.
They had been expecting Odin to rescue Aaron himself, but now he was leaving?
Was he just going to watch Aaron die?
Impossible!
It was impossible for their beloved God King to do such a thing!
"You think Aaron will be okay?" Hogan voiced a bold thought.
Vostagg quickly retorted, "Are you kidding? That’s Thor’s thunder! A full-blown strike! Who could resist that with just their body?"
Sif turned around, calmly analyzing, "Aaron is the god of magic; maybe he can use magic to resist the thunder?"
"How much magical power does it take to reach that level? Can it be resisted without magic? It's too exaggerated!"
Fandral still couldn’t imagine such a situation.
Energy fighting energy?
Impossible!
While they were discussing, Thor had already rushed to the center and found Aaron.
Then, he was stunned.
In his sights, Aaron was completely unharmed!
Moreover, he was resisting the thunder with his body!
The energy collision light flickering on his body was faintly visible.
Under his dazed gaze, Aaron said lightly:
"Thor, did you f***ing hold back? I’m talking about a full blow!"
Thor felt aggrieved and something was stuck in his throat, making his voice hoarse.
He had indeed used all his strength!
If it wasn’t for fear of causing too much damage, the thunder would’ve spread around Aaron, and the entire Aesir domain would’ve been baptized by a round of thunder!
Countless casualties!
This strike could easily cover the entire Divine Realm!
Yet Aaron treated it like it was nothing?
Who was Thor now?
Aaron seemed more like the son of a god king than he did.
Was it an illusion?
Or was he adopted, like Loki?
Loki, son of the Frost Titan Lauf?
Or was he a descendant of the Flame Titan King Surtur?
The three of them—Fandral, Vostagg, and Hogan—looked at each other and shrugged, then went to comfort Thor.
Although the battle had ended in such a surprising way, even they hadn’t expected Thor to lose so easily.
But as friends, they still tried to comfort him.
Only Heimdall was left, staring into Aaron’s eyes, full of confusion.
Odin had told him to keep an eye on Aaron, but he was at a loss for what had happened in just one year!
had changed so much that he couldn’t understand anything.
He felt so negligent!
On the other side, facing Sif’s concern, Aaron reassured her that he was fine.
Thor needed more attention than he did.
He said a few comforting words to Thor, but Thor wasn’t listening and walked away in a daze.
Under the gaze of hundreds of people, Thor quickly ran into the Golden Hall, his face filled with urgency.
"What’s wrong with Thor?" Hogan asked worriedly.
"Maybe Aaron’s attack got to him, and now he wants to go to the God King for more training?" Vostagg said firmly.
"Ah, Thor needs to calm down a bit. Since he got Mjolnir, he hasn’t trained seriously for a long time."
Fandral shook his head, unsure of what to say.
You couldn’t blame Aaron for being too powerful, could you?
At the start of the fight, Aaron reprimanded Thor and used some flashy, powerful magic, but Thor had gone all-out and still lost.
Aaron’s strength had grown naturally and rapidly.
Could Kamar-Taj in Midgard really be a better fit for Aaron?
Compared to Asgard, his growth was far quicker!
If Aaron hadn’t learned magic, he’d have to go there himself to figure out the mystery.
"Aaron, you’re not planning to leave again, are you?"
Sif didn’t think too much about it. Once she saw that Aaron was unharmed, she turned her focus to comforting Thor, but he wasn’t listening.
Still, she wasn’t overly concerned.
With the King of Gods around, Thor would be fine, and maybe he’d even gain some benefits.
So, she shifted her attention back to Aaron and his future plans.
"I’ll go back after I handle Sirte," Aaron said after thinking for a moment.
As someone who knew the taste of ambition, he couldn’t live without it these days.
And he still needed to collect resources—the Dimensional Lords were still waiting for him.
However, if time allowed, he might spend some time in Asgard’s magical library.
Perhaps he could find some extras.
Aaron immediately approached Heimdall to ask about the rebellion.
For these matters, it was better to act quickly.
He had no intention of going to great lengths for a crippled Sirte.
Sif wanted to say something but stopped when she saw Aaron had business to attend to.
She wasn’t one to make a fuss and understood the seriousness of the matter.
Though she wanted Aaron to stay in Asgard and relive the old days with them, she knew they could talk about it after the matter was settled.
Sif missed the old days...
Even with the annoying Loki, they could still get together and talk.
Seeing Aaron approach to inquire, Heimdall was silent for a moment before speaking:
"The Father of Gods intends to send you and Thor together to deal with them.
You can go anytime."
"I will report to the Father of Gods."
With Aaron’s powerful teleportation ability, traveling alone to Muspelheim was no problem at all!
He believed that the Flame Titan King would not be his match either.
After all, the Frost Titan King’s body had melted into the glacier. Without plants, the grass on his grave might be three meters high!
Aaron nodded and said nothing more.
He got the coordinates of Muspelheim from Heimdall and opened a portal to the destination using the ability shared by his all-seeing eye.
At that moment, Surtur was asleep, resting his head on the throne.
It seemed he was missing his former glorious self.
