Chapter 2278

"If I had known, I would have brought Heimdall with me," Sif said regretfully.

Of course, she was just saying it casually.

Knowing her brother as she did, Heimdall was the kind of tough guy who wouldn't surrender even if a knife were plunged into his chest. There was absolutely no way she could get any useful information out of him.

"Don't think about it anymore. I think we should think about what to do next... After all, it seems like we can't run away now. Why don't you go first?"

Gel felt that things had come to this point, and he could only prepare for the worst. He thoughtfully wanted Sif to leave first, using any excuse, as long as she didn't associate with him. Otherwise, many things would become unclear... although it was already unclear now.

Gel himself found it quite astonishing; he hadn't expected Sif to genuinely help him… He didn't quite understand what was wrong with her, and could only attribute it to Sif's innate kindness. But the more this was the case, the more Gel didn't want Sif to suffer unfair treatment for helping him… At least a good person shouldn't be punished as she should.

Geer's concept is very simple: if you are good to me, you are a good person, and I don't need to consider anything else!

"No need... it's too late."

Sif shook her head and immediately picked up the Bult steel, making an attack motion.

Because thunder was already rumbling outside.

Thor is a warrior with virtually no weaknesses; he is incredibly strong and fast. If there is any shortcoming, it is that he is unlikely to ever engage in an ambush.

There's no way around it; Thor's title is the God of Thunder.

Its appearance is always accompanied by a thunderous roar; the sheer force of it is so great that even the blind and deaf cannot escape its power.

Ger also turned his head to look outside.

Asgard is generally sunny and calm year-round. Although there are occasional windy and rainy days, they are usually mild. In short, you won't encounter any extreme weather on the front side of Asgard. On the other hand, the back side of Asgard often experiences various extreme weather events, such as strong winds, heavy rain, and blizzards.

So if you encounter a thunderstorm in Asgard, it's almost certain that their king is on an outing.

Boom! ! !

A bright bolt of lightning suddenly struck down from the sky, then took shape in mid-air.

Thor appeared in mid-air, wielding Mjolnir and Spear of Eternity.

Further away, squads of Asgardian warriors, gleaming with golden light, were rapidly gathering towards the Rainbow Bridge!

The invasion of the Rainbow Bridge is a major event, and could even shake the entire Asgard!

After all, since the day the Rainbow Bridge was built, no one has ever been able to hack into it.

If the enemy wreaks havoc on the Rainbow Bridge, that would be a troublesome matter.

It's important to know that maintaining the Rainbow Bridge is a very troublesome task, let alone repairing it.

Even with Asgard's immense wealth, rebuilding and repairing the Rainbow Bridge would be physically demanding. After all, the materials used to construct the Rainbow Bridge are all priceless, and even with Asgard's tireless collecting, they couldn't accumulate a vast quantity. Even without this problem, the very issues of how enemies would invade the Rainbow Bridge and what was happening to Heimdall would require Asgard to devote 100% of its energy to these matters.

The former relates to the secrets of the Rainbow Bridge. If the Rainbow Bridge really has some kind of bug that could be attacked by the enemy, that would be a very big deal.

The latter, Heimdall, although not as famous as Odin and Thor, does not mean he is not strong. On the contrary, Heimdall is a true god!

This thing is not just a title, but also represents supreme power and authority.

Asgard cannot afford to underestimate an enemy that can prevent Heimdall from even sending warnings or pleas for help.

When Thor saw the 'enemy' in the central control hub, he was completely stunned.

Gol, that madman, we just met. Thor couldn't possibly have forgotten him, but that's not the point.

Göre is the enemy.

You won't be too surprised how an enemy treats you, after all, they are an enemy.

Isn't the purpose of an enemy to eliminate you by any means necessary?

You would be surprised if the enemy attacked you.

But the other person is different.

It's Sif!

Thor was very worried when it was said that Sif had been kidnapped.

But Sif doesn't look like she's been kidnapped right now.

What she's holding in her hand is Heimdall's Bult steel!

And they were clearly adopting an aggressive stance!

Thor can be quite careless at times. But that doesn't mean he's hopelessly stupid. On the contrary, when it comes to fighting, this guy has a sense of perception that's sharper than that of a wild beast.

Sif is on guard against him!

why?

"Sif?! What's going on? Where's Heimdall?!"

Thor sensed something was wrong.

"Him? He needs to rest now. After all, he hasn't had a break since he became the guardian of Asgard. This is a good opportunity for him to get some rest."

Sif said without any change in expression.

"Sif!!!" Thor instinctively sensed something was wrong: "What are you doing?!"

Sif didn't answer Thor's question directly, but instead felt a surge of excitement welling up inside her.

“Thor, from childhood to adulthood, I have always lived by your side… no, I should say, my purpose in life has been to live by your side. No matter what you do, I will support you and stay with you. Even if those things are absurd and foolish, I will support you without hesitation. Because this is the mission I have been given. From childhood, I have been told that I am your queen, that I will marry you in the future, and that my life, everything I have, revolves around you. I pay attention to you at all times, to your joys and sorrows. What you like, I like; what you hate, I hate.”

Thor's face flushed red and then turned pale upon hearing this.

He felt ashamed and embarrassed.

Thor is actually a kind of wise fool; he knows a lot of things, but most of the time, he just doesn't care.

For example, didn't he know that Siff had been trying to please him?

Didn't he know that Siff had always wanted to be his queen?

he knows!

But most of the time, he doesn't actually care about that at all.

So he fell in love with Jane on Earth, and then, at the Pantheon, he fell in love with Melinoe because of Aphrodite. Although he knew this was unfair to Sif, he still brought the goddess back to Asgard!

He knew everything perfectly well.

However, he didn't care about Sif's feelings.

Previously, he had always thought that this was nothing.

Because he didn't love Sif; he treated Sif as his own brother or sister.

But he really didn't care much about what Sif thought.

Even after Sif stormed off, he only felt she was difficult to deal with, but deep down he didn't think he had done anything wrong.

This is the fearlessness of those who are favored.

The common saying, "Those who are favored are fearless," reveals profound psychological and emotional mechanisms. Those who are favored often gain a relative advantage in relationships because they enjoy unconditional tolerance, care, and support from their partners, leading them to act bolder and more uninhibited. Here are some reasons: Favored individuals often gain a strong sense of security from the pampering and tolerance of their partners. They feel that no matter what they do, their partners will understand, forgive, and even indulge them. This sense of security gives them a psychological "fearlessness," because they know that even if they make mistakes or ignore their partners, they won't easily lose the relationship. Favoritism makes the recipient feel that they will never be punished because the other person's love is unconditional support. This sense of security makes them more confident in relationships, perhaps even somewhat reckless. Because favored individuals believe they are special and that their partners cannot easily abandon the relationship, they often act more willfully in relationships.

In a relationship, if one party shows obvious favoritism towards the other, it creates a power imbalance. The favored person unconsciously gains a dominant position because they realize that they have a certain "power" to make more decisions in the relationship, and even ignore some of the other person's emotional needs.

The favored party is in a relatively advantageous emotional position and may invest less in maintaining the relationship because they know they hold more power. In other words, the favored party is more likely to compromise and make concessions to keep the relationship going. The favored person knows they can control the pace of the relationship and that the other person will be willing to invest more in it; therefore, they don't need to worry about the consequences of their actions.

Being constantly favored can make a person feel extremely attractive or needed, thus enhancing their sense of self-worth and potentially leading to ego inflation. They may feel they deserve to be pampered and indulged, while taking the other person's love and devotion for granted.

The favored person is prone to developing a sense of superiority, believing they occupy a more important position in the relationship. This gives them more freedom to express themselves and act without worrying about the consequences. When a person becomes accustomed to the other's favoritism, they may no longer cherish the other's efforts and feelings, taking this care for granted, and may even ignore or belittle the other's emotional needs.

Favoritism often leads to emotional dependence in the other party. When one party consistently gives, the other becomes accustomed to this dynamic, and the favored party may unconsciously rely on this emotional support. This dependence makes the favoring party appear more "passive" in the relationship, while the favored party feels more at ease.

The favored party often becomes more dependent on the other, while the favored party, feeling no emotional pressure or threat, becomes more independent. This pattern of emotional dependence leads one party to be more proactive, while the other becomes more casual, sometimes even reckless. The favored person may sometimes blur the boundaries of the relationship, especially when they become accustomed to the other's tolerance and accommodation, and may feel that the other's emotions and time are "endless." They may test or even cross those seemingly important boundaries, but because they feel they won't lose the relationship, they become more relaxed and casual.

Long-term favoritism can cause the recipient to gradually take the love for granted and stop feeling grateful. This habitual way of thinking may lead them to become numb to the other person's care, dedication, and tolerance, and may even result in indifference or apathy.

When one party continuously invests in the relationship, the favored party may gradually become indifferent to the other's feelings, feeling they no longer need to make extra effort to maintain the relationship. Favoritism can sometimes spoil people, leading them to behave disrespectfully or indifferently, believing the other will continue to love and forgive them regardless. In many relationships, emotional investment and return are not entirely equal. The power of emotional maneuvering can cause the favored party to lose themselves due to over-investment, while the favored party is more likely to maintain balance. This unequal dynamic often makes the favored party feel in a superior position, thus appearing more confident and even relaxed.

The phenomenon of "being taken for granted because of favoritism" stems from the human psychology of needing security, power, and self-worth. Those who are favored enjoy unconditional pampering and tolerance, gaining emotional advantage and thus becoming bolder, freer, and sometimes even reckless. This dynamic imbalance in emotions makes the favored party prone to a state of "taking it for granted," causing them to no longer cherish the other person's efforts and even neglect their responsibilities in the relationship.

Thor was undoubtedly the favored one.

This cycle of preference, once broken, is irreversible.

The one who is favored will immediately suffer.

Just like Thor is now.

He felt ashamed because what he had done was indeed excessive. If Sif continued to silently endure it, Thor might still continue to do as he pleased and ignore Sif.

But when Sif brought everything to light...

Thor then automatically accepted moral judgment.

“I know, I…” Thor wanted to apologize.

But Sif didn't give him that chance.

"Since I left Asgard, reflecting on the first half of my life, I suddenly realized that I had no sense of self. My joys and sorrows all revolved around you; I became your shadow, completely devoid of a self. I discovered that I didn't even know what I liked or disliked. Because my life was entirely centered around you, I had no sense of myself. Therefore, I want to find myself again!"

Sif's eyes were filled with fighting spirit.

"Before, whenever you went into battle, I would always put myself in the support role without hesitation and wholeheartedly support you. It was as if that was my duty. But now I don't want to be like that anymore. I want to try and see who is stronger, you or me!"

Sif knew that she was probably no match for Thor.

But so what?

Battles aren't about comparing stats, where whoever has the higher stats is stronger.

If that's the case, what's the point of fighting? Everyone should just show the numbers!

So she has to fight!
