The main character doesn't need to kill the antagonist. Here, Magnus' main objective would be to prevent Loki from achieving his objective - starting Ragnarok. For this, Magnus could do two things:

1) Bind Loki with stronger bonds (like Fenris)

2) Send him off to an inaccessible place, difficult to return from (like Surt)

2) Make peace between the Norse deities and Loki. Help them forgive each other.

Neither of these solutions prevent Ragnarok. According to Norse mythology, Ragnarok is fated to happen. Magnus can merely delay Ragnarok. However, he can make Ragnarok a more peaceful experience for the deities and for Loki. They can fight with peace of mind, having accepted their fate, like Frey has.
