Chapter 1: Asgard
Suspended cross-legged in mid-air, Atanis was doing his daily practice, and since coming to Midgard, he had meditated in his room whenever the Templars began their morning exercises.
The bell rang, and Atanis slowly fell to the ground, ending today's practice, today is the day to go to Asgard to observe the ceremony, Odin will pass the throne to Thor, the god of thunder today, as the ambassador of the Star Spirit Empire to Asgard, he must go to watch the ceremony.
Due to Asgard's spell of Odin, which can only be accessed via the Rainbow Bridge, Atanis needs to leave Kama Taj and go to a clearing outside.
"Your Excellency, I'll take my leave first." Walking out of the room, Artanis, unsurprisingly, saw the Ancient One, "Say hello to Odin for me." Gu Yi nodded with a smile, opening the portal to the outside world for him.
Stepping through the golden portal, Atanis arrives in Antarctica, a place far away from the crowds and undetected by human satellites, where summoning the Rainbow Bridge is the safest option.
"Heimdall." Atanis called upwards in this empty snowfield, and as the ambassador of the Star Spirit Empire, Heimdall would naturally respond to his call.
As a rainbow descended from the sky, Artanis came to the entrance of Asgard. "Thanks, Heimdall, I'm not late." Artanis, smiling at Heimdall.
"You're welcome honored guest, you weren't late for the ceremony yet." Heimdall scrupulously stood at his post, and as the gatekeeper of the Rainbow Bridge, he couldn't leave here.
Atanis crossed the Rainbow Bridge and entered the palace of Asgard, which had been renovated and gathered to congratulate the incoming king.
Entering the main hall, Atanis was quickly guided to the front, "I have seen His Majesty Odin, and Atanis, the executive of the Star Spirit Empire, has come to congratulate him. Atanis bowed when he saw the god-king Odin, "No need to be polite, the messenger will watch from the sidelines." At Odin's signal, Atanis stood in fourth place on the left, waiting to watch the ceremony.
Standing at the bottom of the steps, Artanis soon waited for the protagonist of the ceremony, Thor.
Odin sits on the throne with Frigga, his second son Loki, and the Valkyrie Siver on his left hand, and Vandal, Hogan, and Vostagg on his right.
Amid the cheers of the crowd, Thor slowly walked from outside the main hall with Thor's hammer in his hand, signaling to every subject cheering for him.
Finally, he came to Odin's throne, got down on one knee, and winked at friends and relatives on his left and right.
As Odin got up, the Spear of Eternity made a dull thud, and the lively hall fell silent.
Atanis also drew attention to the fact that this was the most important moment of the ceremony.
"Thor Odinson, my child..." With Odin's words, the ceremony officially began.
At this time, in Odin's treasure house, a group of frost giants quietly infiltrated here.
。。。
"Are you willing to swear to protect the Nine Worlds?"
"I swear."
"Will you swear to keep peace?"
"I swear."
"Will you swear to renounce your desires and give everything you have for all beings?"
"I swear!"
"So today, I, Odin, in the name of the Father of the Gods, declare you as... Odin's eyes flickered, and Thor's smile faded.
"Frost Giant?!"
。。。
Odin took his two sons to the treasury, and Atanis had to rest with Frigga on the side, but the ritual came to an end with a sudden turn of events.
"Your Highness, what does Your Majesty Odin mean?" Looking at the smiling Frigga in front of him, Artanis asked why Odin did this at the succession ceremony.
"Atanis, I know you have some doubts, but we're all here for the ultimate victory." Frigga added a cup of tea to Artanis, explaining to him.
"The ultimate victory? I thought His Majesty Odin had found a way to avoid Ragnarok. Artanis took a sip of tea, and the doubts in his heart increased.
"That's true, but the last time he was discussing it with me, Loki accidentally overheard it." Friggia's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and relief.
"Overheard?" Atanis was surprised, "It seems that His Highness Loki's spells have been introduced under your teaching. ”
"Because he heard it, we had to explain it to him, Loki is not like Thor, he always likes to keep things to himself, if we don't explain it clearly, I'm afraid he will have a bigger misunderstanding." Frigga sighed helplessly.
"Now that he already knows, what is it this time?" Artanis, sipping his tea, thoughtful.
"Loki knew, but we didn't tell Thor that with his current temperament, he was still too reckless." Frigga smiled and drank tea.
"Looks like you've decided to put on a good show, but why are you inviting me to the show?" After knowing that all this was for the sake of training the crown prince, Artanis wondered why he had let him come.
"Because it involves your people's holy relic, the Kedarin Gem." Frigga looked at Artanis, smiling.
"Holy relics? Are you finally willing to tell us? Atanis was excited, and the hope of recovering the relics was in sight.
"You'll be able to see it soon." Frigga obviously wouldn't just say anything.
"Well, I'm used to it, he'll show up when he's supposed to show up, and even then, we owe you a favor." Atanis looked helplessly at the queen in front of him, who was not only Odin's wife, but also a powerful witch.
"Then I won't disturb your rest, and you may all stay here for the rest of the year, and I wish you a good time." Frigga blinked and left Artanis' room.
After saying goodbye to Friggia, Atanis couldn't calm down completely, looking at the rainbow bridge in the distance, Atanis wondered, has been in the Divine Domain all this time? But won't the Rainbow Bridge be able to take me back to Midgard?
Thinking of this, Atanis suddenly found that the Rainbow Bridge had been activated, and he didn't know who had left the Divine Domain at this time.
On the other side, Thor had a brief quarrel with Odin in the treasury, and Odin was disappointed that his son, who had sworn to protect peace one second, was about to start a war the next, so he reprimanded Thor.
And the angry Thor, under Loki's "persuasion", persuaded the four warriors of Asgard to prepare to go to Jotunheim with Loki. Defeat Lawy and his men, the Frost Giants.
