Chapter 333: The debt owed to Sylvie, and Frigga, the goddess who asked for leave for Thor...
Toby nodded, pulled Sivir into his arms, and smiled, "Well, that's good. Last time I went to another universe, I had a factory there mass-produce all sorts of vibranium technology products..."
"The first batch of vibranium technology products should be ready by now. I'll go back to Jotunheim with you later to put these first batch of vibranium technology products into our national treasury."
Upon hearing this, Sylvie looked up abruptly, her eyes filled with surprise and delight as she gazed at Toby: "Your Majesty, you...you're coming back to Jotunheim with me?"
Sylvie paid no attention to the vibranium technology products Toby mentioned; all she cared about was that her king was finally going to come home with her again!
Seeing the surprise on Sylvie's face, Toby's expression softened even more: "Of course, as I said before, I am the new king of the Frost Giants, and our palace is there. How could I possibly stay away from home forever..."
Toby still felt somewhat guilty towards Sylvie.
Because it's different from his genuine affection for the two Gwens and his usual gentle treatment of them.
His relationship with Sylvie was initially more of a cold, transactional exchange of interests.
He exploited Sylvie's emotional vulnerability, using her to help him consolidate his Frost Giant clan, while in return granting her supreme power.
This seems fair enough; one can exchange their body for supreme power, and Sylvie even seems to have profited...
But all of this is predicated on... you don't love your trader.
But with Sylvie and Toby's ability to see everyone's true emotions, he could clearly see that Sylvie's feelings for him were no less than those for the two Gwens.
However, she was more sensible than Gwen and the others. She never competed or fought, but quietly helped him manage the Frost Giants in Jotunheim, a cold land with nothing but ice and snow.
And when he needed him, he was the first to lead the army of frost giants!
And the more this happens, the more Toby's guilt will surge, like an avalanche, growing ever larger!
So Toby plans to go to Jotunheim to give the Frost Giants some benefits and to make up for the time he's spent neglecting Sylvie over the past two years.
Anyway, Gwen and the others need to rest for two days before they can go with him to Asgard and Krintar to find the symbiote.
Sylvie didn't say anything, but she held Toby tighter and buried her face in his chest, unwilling to come out.
After Toby and Sylvie finished speaking, the other two people who had walked towards Toby with Sylvie stepped forward.
These two are none other than the Ancient One, the Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj, and Frigga, the Queen of Asgard.
The two had just been watching a play in Asgard, discussing their respective insights on magic.
Although Frigga was not a magician in the strict sense, but a witch.
However, there are actually many similarities between witchcraft and magic, so two top figures in their respective fields can naturally exchange ideas.
The two approached Toby and smiled slightly at him: "Mr. Spider."
"Ancient One, Queen Frigga, no need to be so polite, just call me Toby." Toby nodded to them in acknowledgment.
Frigga spoke first, sincerely saying, "Toby, thank you so much for helping my four sons, helping Thor and the others find themselves, and helping Loki and the others get back on track..."
Upon hearing this, Toby's eyes narrowed slightly: "Four sons? It seems Queen Frigga knows something..."
Even including the one-eyed Thor from another universe, he only openly helped Frigga's son three times...
Frigga didn't deny it, her eyes filled with heartache, but a proud smile curved her lips:
"Yes, I've met him. He did a great job, he was a hero. He sacrificed his own freedom to give everyone else freedom. I'm proud of him..."
Toby didn't deny this: "Yes, he is indeed great. If it weren't for him allowing each universe to develop freely, I might not be who I am today..."
The two were naturally referring to Loki.
But it's not Loki, the cunning god who orchestrated the "battle between the spiders and the frost giants," but rather Loki, the god of stories who has truly ascended to the highest divine position!
The two tacitly avoided delving into the topic, moving on to other topics.
"By the way, Toby, I need to ask you for leave on behalf of my good-for-nothing son, Thor." Frigga shifted the topic from Loki to Thor.
As for Thor, there are no taboos about this topic, regardless of which universe's Thor is involved.
Toby raised an eyebrow, somewhat intrigued: "Taking leave? Is Odin planning to pass the throne to Thor?"
Unexpectedly, Frigga shook her head and said, "No, although Thor has grown a lot during his time on Earth, he still has a long way to go before he can inherit the throne of the God-King..."
"Furthermore, Odin has already begun to focus on training Loki, intending for Loki to succeed him..."
"And even if the next God-King isn't Loki, the second choice won't be Thor from this universe, but Thor from another universe with a more complex background and greater strength to protect Asgard."
Toby was genuinely surprised to hear this.
Unexpectedly, Odin would rather pass the throne to a son who is not related by blood, or to a son from another universe, than to his own son from this universe!
Just how annoying is Thor from his universe...?
Seemingly understanding the confusion in Toby's eyes, Frigga shook her head and smiled helplessly:
"Actually, this is also related to you. According to the future that Odin and I originally saw, our Thor should have undergone the same trials and tribulations as the Thor in another universe, eventually achieving a dual transformation in both mindset and strength, until he was able to shoulder the responsibility of the God King..."
"But... Thor in this universe has had it too easy because of you. Although he has a human girlfriend, which has made him less impulsive, unless he experiences some major upheaval in the future, Thor will definitely not be able to complete the dual transformation of mentality and strength in a short period of time..."
"Therefore, we have no choice but to select a new successor who can shoulder the responsibilities of the God-King."
Toby realized the blame was still on him, and a sharp smirk tugged at the corner of his mouth.
So, this Thor in the universe is just having an easy time, living too well?
Or... I could direct and act out another scene myself, letting Thor experience the pain of losing Strange's beloved, and then motivate him to work harder!
