"Bang"

In distant Jotunheim, the land of the Frost Giants of the Nine Kingdoms.

Riding on an eight-legged steed galloping through the sky, the god-king Odin swung the golden spear in his hand, and a dazzling lightning turned into his weapon, tearing through the gloomy sky of this icy realm.

Under Odin's indifferent gaze, the dancing thunderbolts slammed into the battlefield below in a sweeping manner, knocking the frost giants to the ground who were still resisting.

The long war is coming to an end.

Led by the God-King himself, the warriors of Asgard drove the rioting Frost Giants from the Frost Court of Jotunheim to this desperate ice cliff.

100,000 brave warriors, supported by Asgard's Sky Fighter formation, attacked the last recalcitrant Frost Giants from all sides of the ground.

It's like a double fist in a merciless blow to a door that has long been rotten, maybe in the next moment, the defense line of these frost giants will be completely torn apart.

The God-King looked down on the earth in the sky, and he could see the King of the Frost Giants, the fiercest and most cunning of all, Laufey, who wore the traditional armor of the Frost Giants.

The terrifying King of Giants is wielding an ice mallet and driving the savage-like giants under his command to their deaths.

Laufey is at a loss for what to do, as it had been in the end of the war it had tried to invade Midgard more than 1,000 years ago.

Odin will once again crush the ambitions of the King of Giants, and then crush the unruly giants and bring them back to Asgardian rule.

But even though victory was in sight, the God-King's frown still didn't let go.

Although the Frost Giant has been known for its unruliness since its birth, this riot is really a little too weird.

It didn't take any time to hear from Odin to the time when the Frost Giants began to revert to their worship of the winter goddess Scati, to the start of a massive riot and war.

These savage frost giants seem to be truly blessed by that ethereal faith, and they have become tougher, more violent, and more difficult than before.

Moreover, the God-King also noticed that the number of Frost Giant Shamans had greatly increased during this war, which was also a bad omen.

Unlike the Frost Giants, whose spell-casting abilities are insignificant, most of them use only rudimentary natural magic, but the shamans who believe in the goddess Scati are the most adept at using ice magic in the Nine Realms.

The number of shamans is increasing, which indicates that the society of the frost giants has indeed undergone changes at the level of belief that the god-king is not aware of.

Don't...

Could it be that the winter goddess Scati, who has never appeared in history and is worshipped by the frost giants, really exists?

"Quack, boss, you're distracted."

On Odin's left shoulder, a raven closely resembling Muning reminded loudly:

"That big guy on the ground is trying to sneak up on you!"

"Bang"

In the next second, Odin's wrist flipped, and the golden spear of judgment Gungnir danced in the palm of his hand a few times, bringing a beating dazzling lightning that smashed the huge ice mallet from the ground into the air.

Odin pulled the reins of the eight-legged Pegasus and narrowly avoided the shards of ice that were shooting in all directions, and he looked down to see Laufey, the king of the frost giants, roaring at him on the ground.

The fierce old adversary was provoking him.

"Thanks for the reminder, Hukin."

The God-King thanked the raven on his shoulder, and he focused on Laufey, the king of the frost giants.

He lowered his body, the eight-legged steed under his crotch felt the will of his master, and the legendary mount of the divine steed let out a neigh, and carried Odin to the ground.

Amid the battle cries and cheers of the soldiers on the surrounding battlefields, the God-King will defeat Laufey with his own hands as a sign of the end of this revolt.

However, just as the lightning brought up by the God-King's Spear of Judgment was about to strike the body of the Frost Giant King, Odin's face suddenly changed drastically.

He didn't even bother to respond to Laufey's challenge, instead turning into a bolt of blue lightning and disappearing into the Jotunheim sky.

"Heimdall, you take command!"

The roar of the God King resounded on the battlefield, mixed with a trace of undisguised solemnity.

Odin's sudden departure made the Asgardians and the Frost Giants stunned at the same time, and the entire battlefield was quiet at this moment.

The cunning King of the Frost Giants was ready to die generously, but seeing Odin disappear, a flash of surprise flashed in King Laufey's eyes.

It looked back at the battlefield that it was powerless to return to, and then led its most loyal subordinates to quickly rush along the mountain path of the ice cliff to the outside of the battlefield.

"Woo woo"

Heimdall, the godly general who had followed Odin for thousands of years, sounded the keel horn on his waist, and with the desolate sound of the horn representing the final offensive, the Asgardian legion continued to advance again, as if it had come to life.

The absence of the God King on the battlefield will not affect the victory of this war.

In the realm of the Nine Kingdoms today, there is no enemy that can stop the Asgardians from winning victory after victory on the battlefield.

But even Heimdall, the most loyal and fearless gatekeeper, couldn't help but look up at Jotunheim's gloomy sky at this moment, and he had doubts.

Where did his own monarch go?

Why was there a hint of consternation in Odin's voice that could not be concealed?

This... What's going on?

----------------------------

Niforheim, in the misty path to Hades, a dazzling bolt of lightning descends from the sky and transforms into the heavily armed god-king Odin.

And in front of him, at the end of the mist, Thor's soul was standing there, his body was illusory, and since he had appeared here, it meant that Thor had experienced the worst accident.

"Boss! That's Thor! ”

Hukin, a raven on Odin's shoulder, screamed:

"How could he be here? or in the form of a soul..."

Thor's soul stood there blank, and even before Odin arrived, there was not much expression on his pale face.

Odin, with a stern face, examined his son's spirit, but found nothing unusual.

Odin said to the raven Hukin:

"Because Thor is dead, in Midgard, he is involved in an accident... An accident that shouldn't have been borne by him. ”

The God-King looked at his son and said:

"It's not his fate... It shouldn't be like this, someone interfered with it..."

"What do you mean? Top dog? ”

The raven Hujin asked suspiciously:

"Moonin told me about how Thor confronted you and was expelled to Midgard, Moonin won't lie to me, but now that you say that, is there any secret behind this death that we shouldn't know?"

"Absolutely."

A hint of gloom flashed in Odin's one-eye, and he whispered:

"Hu Jin, you and Mu Ning have been following me for so many years, do you really think that I will be made to lose my mind by my own son's ridicule?"

"Do you really think I'm going to let Thor leave himself to fend for himself on Earth?"

"No, you stupid raven, Thor's mother would have killed me if I did, she loved Thor so much, and the tragedy of Angela and Hela was ahead... I can't allow me to lose my third child anymore. ”

"And this exile..."

Confused by the god-king's words, Hujin jumped on Odin's shoulder, and asked:

"Boss, don't play dumb riddles, just talk about it. You know I'm the strictest of mouths, and I'm not going to go around talking about secrets that shouldn't be told like Muning. ”

"Hukin, you should remember that before Thor was born, there was a prophecy about it in the God's Domain."

“？”

The raven's eyes widened, and it croaked twice, and it said:

"Oh, I remember, the prophecy you saw in the Fountain of Wisdom when you went through the King's Trial with the Great Snake Kull..."

"I've also seen that Thor will fight to the death with the serpent who has returned from hell, he will pierce the serpent's head, save the Nine Realms, and then walk nine steps and fall... That is the fate of Thor, says the Giant Yumir. ”

"yes, that's it."

Odin glanced at his son's confused soul and said:

"After Thor was born, Friga and I were worried about the prophecy, but Thor grew up healthy for more than a thousand years, and I thought it wouldn't happen again."

"But not long ago, the signs of prophecy had appeared, the serpent's divine power had been revived in Midgard, it made me feel terrified, I didn't want to lose Thor, so I tried to use this exile to help Thor avoid that calamity."

"If Thor is no longer Thor, then maybe you will be able to get rid of that sad fate."

"But someone interfered with it..."

Odin clenched his fists, and he said to Hukin:

"Someone has snooped on my plans, someone is forcing Thor to become Thor again!"

"This death, this is an abominable conspiracy, maybe the serpent has really awakened, and before we know it, it has set its eyes on us with vengeance..."

"Uh, boss, with all due respect."

Hugin, the raven, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Odin:

"Maybe it's not a conspiracy... I mean, if it was really Thor's predetermined fate to die with the returning serpent, then Thor's death now may be a self-correction of fate. ”

"You love Thor too much, you tried to help him get out of his fate, but you ignored the power of fate itself, boss, maybe Thor's accident is a warning from fate."

Compared with the outspoken Muning, Hukin, the raven, was very wise, and said to Odin:

"If that's Thor's fate, then no matter how much you and Sister Friga protect Thor, he'll be in that fate."

"And instead of letting Thor drift around Midgard as a mortal powerless against calamity, it is better to give him back his strength, so that he can protect himself in times of danger."

"I have to do it now."

Odin looked at Thor's soul, he let out a long sigh, and he said:

"The Divine Word has brought him to me, and I still have a chance to make amends, and the return of Thor's power to his body will allow him to survive this death. My son will be reborn on earth... In the name of Thor. ”

"Ah, it turns out that you were prepared, boss?"

Hu Jin quacked:

"Did you have a long guess that something was going to be wrong with Thor?"

"I'm just in case."

Odin waved his hand, and on Earth, in the desert of New Mexico, the myth of Thor's hammer fixed to the surface of the earth emerged.

Under the surprised gaze of Skorch, the "executioner" of the Patronus Hammer for several months, the Hammer began to vibrate rapidly, as if it had been awakened from its slumber.

Under the watchful eye of the prince's guards, the hammer broke away from its stone seat and hovered in the magical barrier, seemingly recognizing its master's location, and then transformed into a glowing arc of lightning and rushed into the dark sky.

"Midgard is by no means a haven of peace... Top dog. ”

Surrounded by the mist of Niflheim, Raven Hukin watched as Thor's soul was sent back to Midgart by the God-King, and he said to Odin:

"Maybe Thor should be sent back to his hometown."

"Nope."

Odin's one-eyed eye reflects the image of the earth, and he watched as Thor's hammer fell into Thor's hands, and watched his son regain Thor's power in the light of thunder to defend himself against accidental death.

The old god-king shook his head, and he whispered:

"Your words have reminded me, Hukin, that I want to change Thor's fate, but not in such a forced way."

"It's like a balanced scale, if you want it to tilt in Thor's favor, you have to keep adding more weights to the tray."

"He wants to continue the king's experience, on the earth, so that he can find more friends, contact more tempering, so as to constantly fill his destiny with more things..."

"Until those forces are finally heavy enough to reverse his fate."

"What about us? Top dog. ”

Hukin asked:

"Are we just going to do nothing?"

"No, of course we have to prepare in advance, it is a war that could lead to the complete destruction of Asgard."

Odin let out a sigh of relief, and he looked back at the sky of Niforheim, the planets of the Asgardian Divine Domain hovered in the dead night sky like the most brilliant stars, and the God-King looked at his homeland, and said:

"The serpent has the power of fear, it feeds on fear, and as long as there is fear in this group, it will never die, and the more fear there is, the stronger it will be."

"If it must return..."

Odin clenched the Gungnir in his hand, and he said in a deep voice:

"Then I will fight again, even if I give it all, even if it costs anything, I will press it back into its grave."

"This time, I'm not going to give it another chance to recover."
