But now, it's all good, they've got a very beautiful satellite. Earth's beauty ranks high among all the planets in the cosmos. In the cosmos, blue planets are not uncommon, but most of their blue comes from extremely cold climates, the blue is relatively light, and because there's no cloud cover, the surface patterns are not that complex, appearing rather monotonous. Most gaseous planets are a tawny color, and planets with land are mostly brown and red. A planet like Earth, which looks blue, green, and white from afar, with many complex colors and mysterious cloud patterns, is very rare.
Moreover, because Asgardians are part of the God Clan, they have particularly good eyesight, they can see the busy little folks on Earth even from afar. It's practically a large dynamic screensaver, you can sit there and watch it all day. This is truly experiencing the delight of the gods.
The night Earth arrived, Loki felt a rare tranquility in Asgard. It wasn't like this a few days ago; Asgardians were always poking their heads outside his office, either asking where they would be stationed, or when they would attack the Three Great Empires. To say it wasn't annoying would be a lie.
But Loki had no good solution, Asgardians always had these things on their minds. The God Clan doesn't need to go to work; apart from training, they're either at the martial arena fighting, and once they have free time, they're thinking of where to cause a ruckus. It's been like this throughout history, and Loki couldn't change it.
He also thought about organizing entertainment activities for the Asgardians to expend their energy. However, the God Clan is not suited for sports; you can't let them kick planets around, right? And no matter what activity these brutes get into, it always ends up in a brawl. Loki tried a few times and gave up.
Little did he know that watching Earth indeed became an activity that could quiet the Asgardians. Although Earth arrived at night, the Asgardians hadn't gone to sleep yet. As soon as they saw this new thing above their heads, they immediately gathered friends, found a spot, and set up a small stool to watch while drinking.
You might wonder, who came up with this little thing? It's quite interesting. Being able to overlook the global human race from such a far distance is like watching a drama with infinite styles and types. Plus, since humans and Asgardians look somewhat alike and their behavior logic isn't vastly different, they can understand what's going on. It's quite amusing.
After working all night, Loki stepped out of the Fairy Palace and saw the square at the entrance teeming with people, all looking up. Loki looked up too, and saw Earth performing its east-to-west show.
Asgard doesn't have a sun, their day and night cycle is maintained by the light system of the Divine Power Shield. This means there's no sun in the sky, at most you can see some glowing dots. Suddenly, something rising from the east caught Loki off guard.
He couldn't resist looking at Earth. His eyesight is quite good, and most importantly, his hearing is good too. As he listened carefully towards New York, he heard Strange saying to Shiller: "You missed it yesterday, you wouldn't believe it, Loki's expression was priceless, his eyeballs almost popped out! I've never seen him so surprised! Hahaha!"
"Tsk..." Loki took a deep breath, looked around, then shouted, "Heimdall! Heimdall! Open the Rainbow Bridge! I want to go to Earth!"
"Sorry, our new moon is very fragile, you can look but not touch," Heimdall's voice echoed above, sounding a bit numbed, apparently having given this response countless times, "If you truly want to go up there, you should apply for a spot on the diplomatic mission with His Royal Highness the Prince... Oh, it's you, Prince. Are you going on business? I'll open the door for you..."
Loki sighed, still shaking his hand, saying, "Forget it, find someone to pilot a ship, we need to deliver invitations to the Star Area..."
In Asgardian culture, there's the concept of a moon, even a Moon Goddess. This is a concept from their time living on Earth. Given their long lifespans, this isn't considered very old; many older Asgardians have seen the moon on Earth.
Although calling their former homeland a moon is a bit odd, since Earth calls itself that, they've quickly accepted the concept and consider Earth their moon. It's uncertain whether they'll accept no longer having a moon if Earth decides to move again one day.
As for ordinary people on Earth, they don't really feel much about the move. On one hand, the Magical Defense Network protects them like an impenetrable fortress, and on the other, the jump duration is too brief. It basically got dark for an instant and then lit up again. During the jump, many areas were already night time, so for them, it was like the moon disappeared for a moment and then reappeared. But a moon disappearing isn't anything strange, Khonsu had made the moon disappear several times before, and the videos of it have been circulating wildly online, so most people are used to it.
If anything, the biggest shock must be for the astronomers. In just an instant, astronomy ceased to exist, the arrangement of stars was completely different from previous studies. However, starting research from scratch also means there's endless papers to write, in a way that's a good thing.
The most important thing is, of course, the upcoming celebration. Both sides are preparing vigorously. From Earth, the strongest people will undoubtedly go, while on Asgard's side, the competition is intense. Virtually the entire new generation wants to go to Earth, Loki is overwhelmed by their clamoring and can only put them all on the first-round list, leaving Thor to pick.
Thor paused for a moment upon seeing the number of people at the top of the list, looking at Loki as if he had something to say but was holding back.
"Loki, I can understand, with those powerful beings on Earth being so close, they do pose a threat. But I don't think it's necessary to deploy troops so soon, right? Moving a ten thousand strong force at once, won't the Three Great Empires suspect we intend to attack their capital?"
"I'm not deploying troops," Loki said helplessly, "there really are just that many who want to go."
"But that's almost the entire main force of our troops. If we send them all to Earth, who will defend Asgard?"
"The Earthlings," Loki spread his hands and said, "You said it yourself, that group from Earth is coming tomorrow. With them here, who would dare to mess with us?"
Thor opened his mouth but didn't know how to refute. Loki shrugged again and said, "Our troops at least follow your orders, but those humans are lawless. Moreover, quite a few of them are quick to anger. Anyway, it certainly won't be our headache."
Thinking of the Three Great Empires' envoys' expressions, and their possible encounters with those people from Earth, Thor couldn't help but burst into laughter. Loki laughed too, the two exchanged a glance, and saw pure joy in each other's eyes.
