Chapter 398: Don't Go (Three Watches)
Pacific Ocean, sea surface.
The old man bent his waist and walked step by step in front of the blue water. He hung his head, and his messy white hair obscured most of his wood-like face. Scati and Hasha, the two of them followed him left and right. The three of them walked slowly along the undulating sea, as if they were walking on flat ground.
The old man suddenly paused for a moment, then let out a "hmm" from the depths of his throat and said, "He knows." ”
After only a brief pause, he continued to walk on his own.
"Odin knows." He added.
"So fast?" Scati was surprised.
"Oh, of course." The old man said lightly, "For a long time, he has been using a very old and powerful magic to bind me, and even with my divine powers, I have been trapped here, and there has been darkness for centuries. It's impossible to unlock this magic without being noticed. You should know, my daughter, there is a prophecy. ”
Scati nodded.
"'Ragnarok'. Asgard will fall, and Odin and his son of courage and intransigence are destined to die here. "But how will things unfold?" Will they come to us? Or are we going to him? ”
"Hah! Wait for the moment, my anxious daughter. The old man said in a calm tone, as if he was not in a hurry for revenge at all, "The true Almighty Heavenly Father will visit the usurper, but not now. Odin must be anxious now, even if it is a small punishment for him, let him slowly taste this torment. As for us, first of all, when I am ready, we are going to make him and everything in that lowly and ugly world terrified of us. ”
"What shall we do, my lord?" "How are we going to make the whole world tremble at our presence?" ”
"Heh, don't worry." The old man smiled lightly and raised a finger like a twig, "We are going to summon the remaining Heavenly Hammer Venerables. ”

Asgardian Domain.
"No, it's Surtr." Thor solemnly said to Odin, "The Land of Fire has returned, and although I don't know why, it has happened. Nidavel was attacked, and the dwarves suffered heavy casualties. The 'Twilight Sword' has also been snatched away, and if left unchecked, the consequences will be unimaginable! ”
Surtr, ruler of Muspelheim, the land of fire, and one of Asgard's most dangerous enemies. The normal Surtr possesses extraordinary strength, and once he holds the "Twilight Sword" and combines it with the power of the Eternal Fire, its power will be raised to an unimaginable and unknown territory that even Odin cannot but fear.
Surtr was defeated by Odin many years ago, and since then the Land of Fire has been sealed by Odin's power, and his "Twilight Sword" has been carefully stored by the dwarves in Nidavel.
And Surtr's danger is not just his own. Another reason why he deserves attention is because of the prophecy that has haunted Odin for thousands of years.
Ragnarok. Legend has it that Surtr will be an important character in Ragnarok, and his appearance means that the prophecy of destruction is about to begin. Compared to Surtr himself, what the prophecy would happen next was what Odin really feared.
"I have a bad feeling." Thor frowned, "Heimdall said that there have been frequent incidents in the atrium recently, and I am afraid it is a bad omen. Besides...... the Fire Country" He paused, thought for a while, and then looked up and said, "I think I should go to the Atrium, Father." I'm worried about ......"
"Nope." Odin snapped, his tone non-negotiable, "You leave me here, and I'm not allowed to go anywhere." ”
Thor was stunned: "But, father ......"
"I said, I'm not allowed to go anywhere!" Odin said unkindly, "Disaster is coming, and now is the time when Asgard needs you most." You must stay here and prepare for the fierce battle that is coming. ”
"But there's the Rainbow Bridge, and I'm always ready to ...... Asgard if it's in trouble," Thor said, pausing for a moment, suddenly realizing something. He grimaced, "You know, right, father? The atrium is indeed on the verge of disaster...... Or is it a very great calamity, which is why you forbade me to go to the atrium? ”
Odin's one-eyed squint at his son, not admitting it but not refuting it.
"Asgard is never afraid to fight!" Thor stepped forward and said, "If the atrium is going to be in crisis, then I'm going to have to fight alongside my teammates. ”
"Don't go, it's an order." Odin said coldly.
"yes, yes, I heard you." Thor said as he turned and walked in the direction of the Rainbow Bridge, clearly not intending to listen to Daddy.
Anyway, it's not the first time to disobey orders, and I don't care about this more time.
But what he didn't expect was that this time Odin seemed to be serious.
"Enough!"
Filled with the majesty of the emperor's low roar, the majestic divine power swept through the entire hall in an instant. The invisible force instantly grabbed Thor, who had his back to Odin, and suddenly gasped him back.
Thor's pupils shrank, and reflexively turned around and threw his hammer at Odin's door. With a delicate swing of his hand, Odin swept away his powerful hammer, followed by a sweep of his arm, and the overwhelming Divine Force swept Thor to the ground, spitting blood from his mouth.
"Time and time again, you have always disobeyed my orders and disobeyed my will." Odin looked down at him and said in a deep voice, "Every time I tolerated your willfulness, every time I gave you enough tolerance...... But not today! Today, you're going to have to stay here for me! ”
Thor wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and glared at Odin angrily, "Okay, you one-eyed bastard. If that's what you want, come on! ”
His body suddenly burst out, and the pale blue electric snake instantly wrapped around Thor's hammer and struck heavily sideways. But Odin only raised his palm lightly, and the hammer paused a few meters from his palm. The thunder seemed to be frozen, and it died down in an instant.
"Fall." Odin muttered in a low voice, a blue glint flashing in his eyes.
As if receiving an irresistible command, Thor's hammer dragged Thor's arm and slammed it to the floor. The thunder and lightning dissipated, and no matter how much Thor exerted his strength, he couldn't lift it again.
"Odin can give, Odin can take away."
Odin said, slowly raising his palm, and a blue light bloomed like a flower. Like a hammer, Thor's figure flew out sideways, rolled and stopped at the entrance of the main hall, and fainted.
Odin walked up to him and let out a soft breath.
"At least this time...... Be honest with me. ”
