Nidavel, the land of the dwarves, the birthplace of the most powerful weapons in the Nine Realms.

Thor leaps over the pitch-black field and lands on the rings of the neutron star. The neutron star shines with the dazzling brilliance of the century, providing the best furnace for forging weapons. The star rings surrounding the neutron star are the places where the greatest master craftsmen of the Nine Realms live.

As one of the Nine Kingdoms, Nidavil is of course also under the protection of Asgard, and no matter what kind of enemy dares to invade any of the Nine Realms, it will be met with the most tenacious counterattack from the Asgardian warriors. The Rainbow Bridge technology is the first premise to ensure this, and Asgardians with the Rainbow Bridge can instantly travel to any corner of the Nine Realms. No matter which part of the Nine Kingdoms was invaded by the enemy from the outside, they would be able to rush to support as soon as possible.

But now the situation is that the Rainbow Bridge is out of order.

It's not that it's not completely impossible to work, to be exact, but it seems that suddenly there is no way to travel back and forth to Nidavel. Heimdall, the all-seeing Guardian of Asgard, tried to spy on Nidavel with his eyes, but was stunned by what he saw.

He saw the flames, like a burning purgatory. He saw that the entire dwarven land was plunged into an endless sea of fire, but that was all.

The flames obscured his vision, and even the all-seeing Eye of Heimdall could see through it. This is absolutely extraordinary, the flames that burn in Nidavil are anything but simple, and at worst, some terrible force may have brought great calamity to the dwarves.

That's why Thor came to Nidawile to find out.

Sure enough, as Heimdall said, all he saw was a mess when Thor landed. The flames burned violently, and the temperature of the air was scorching. No, it's not just the heat, there's something quite terrifying about the flames burning here, and even those as strong as Thor feel a little uncomfortable because of it.

"Etri!" Thor shouted as he walked, "This is Thor, son of Odin!" Is anyone else there? ”

There was no response.

Thor strode along. A trace of flame slowly ignited from the place where he walked, gathering from all directions, gradually merging into one place. The flames conjured sharp claws, sharp teeth, and a twisted, hateful face. It silently rose behind Thor, raising its claws aloft......

Thor turned around suddenly, and Thor's hammer swept out like a blast of wind! With a single blow, he shattered the huge flame shadow in pieces, and his twisted face let out a series of unwilling roars before vanishing.

"Thor."

Thor followed the sound and looked back. Itri, the king of the dwarves, came out from behind the bunker with a few of his companions, all of them ashen and charred, and the worse of them even had half of his hair burned off, looking tired.

"Odin's beard!" Thor exclaimed, "Etri, what's going on here?" ”

The King of the Dwarves gritted his teeth.

"The Twilight Sword has been stolen." He whispered, "Go tell ...... Hurry up and tell the Father of the Gods that the Land of Fire has returned...... Surtr is back! ”

......

Asgardian Domain.

Odin, the father of the gods, stood alone in the palace, looking out at the distant sky, silent for a long time.

Time's up. An old prophecy is coming true, and the fateful moment is coming. He fought all his life, and he did not hesitate to stain his hands with blood to establish the nine kingdoms of Jinhetian, and only then did he have the status that Asgard has today.

For so many centuries, there was not a day when he had not been worried about this prophecy. Every day I wake up, the all-knowing and all-powerful Heavenly Father subconsciously asks this question—could today be that day?

The prophecy is absolute, and there is no room for chance. That time has really come, Asgard...... No, the entire Nine Realms will fall.

"Ragnarok".

Asgard's most faithful guardian, Heimdall stepped forward worriedly: "Almighty Father......"

Odin waved his hand.

"Call Thor back." He said gloomily, "I have something to say to him." ”

***

Michael was well aware that something was going on.

The eyes of the Heavenly Sword are all over the world, and the whole world is under their surveillance around the clock. The tidal changes, the earth's crust changes, and the more frequent and unusual earthquakes seem to be all signs that something is happening.

None of this can be a coincidence. There is no doubt that a catastrophe is on the way.

But that's all there is to see from the perspective of the Heavenly Sword. Although this series of anomalous signs can be monitored, the details of each event seem to be just a separate natural disaster, and there is no trace of any conspiracy. No, or rather, some supernatural force is interfering, so everything is hidden behind the fog and cannot be seen.

However, compared to the Heavenly Sword, this should belong to the responsibilities of another group of guardians in this world.

That's why Doctor Strange once again called Michael to the Kama Taj Temple.

"Meaning," Michael asked, "you've found the source of the problem." ”

"It's just a possibility." "You also know that the Earth doesn't exist in isolation. Earth's space is bound to eight other spaces by a powerful force that has existed since ancient times. In Norse mythology, this whole is called the 'World Tree', and they believe that the nine spaces connected to each other are the whole world. ”

"Ah, I know." Michael nodded, "Does it matter?" ”

Doctor Strange looked solemn: "I think I have reason to believe that the source of the problem is not on our side...... It's on the other side of the spectrum that connects to our space. ”

Michael raised an eyebrow: "Asgard? ”

"No, it probably wasn't Asgard itself, but it was somewhere else in the Nine Realms."

"Isn't that the end of the hammer?"

"I don't have his contact information." Doctor Strange said lightly, "All I know is that he's not on Earth right now. Besides, I don't think he's more reliable than you. Truth be told, the protective net of the temple could feel a hazy power. Although it seems to be vaguely concealed, it is undoubtedly dangerous. At worst, the source of the enemy may be something like Dormammu's...... No, maybe even more. ”

Michael thought for a moment, "That doesn't sound particularly bad." ”

Singular: "......"

"Okay, got it." Michael said, "I'll go with you for a visit...... If there's anything dangerous, get rid of it before it touches Earth. ”
