Chapter XVII: Asgard
The city of Ttensberg β Norway, 965 AD.
The north wind blew from the extremely cold land, freezing the land into a wasteland, and no one expected that the invasion would be so unexpected, and the invaders from Jordan Heim let the war befell the land without warning.
Odin got the news that it was already after the fall of the city of Ttensberg, and he hurried to the Rainbow Bridge to learn that the Frost Giants had invaded Midgard. He brought the artifact inherited by the Frost Giants to the Atrium, turning it into a snow-soaked wasteland. Even though Heim, who was guarding the Rainbow Bridge, informed him in time, he was still a step late.
"The balance of the Nine Realms is not allowed to be blasphemed!" Odin had suddenly made up his mind, "Order the warriors to assemble, and from this point on, after nineteen breaths, we will set out to support Midgard!" β
Because of Odin's order, the whole Asgard was awe-inspired, and the fighting spirit of the Asgardian men climbed to a peak that has never been seen in recent years.
"Laufey's ambition has outstripped his ability, I can tolerate his provocation, but I must not tolerate him breaking the ancient covenant of the Nine Realms, which has broken the bottom line. Too long has passed, too long, so far away that they have forgotten the nightmare of our ancestors, the oath of the Nine Realms: to respect the Promised Land and never encroach on the territory. β
Odin's scepter snorted heavily on the Rainbow Bridge, and the brilliant colored light flowed over the bridge, overflowing with color, and he glanced at Haim and said: "The ancestors told us that the Rainbow Bridge is the lifeblood of Asgard, Heim, the guard of my loyal subjects, I will let you stay here, the honor of victory and the hearty battle have nothing to do with you." Have you ever been disappointed? β
"My king, your command is my will!" Heim bowed.
"Good, Heim!" Odin nodded, "Remember, be vigilant for the traces of the Four Horsemen." The apocalypse is approaching, and the prophecy of Ragnarok is something that every generation of Rainbow Bridge Guardians must believe from the depths of their hearts. Laufey didn't believe the prophecy, but I still remember it vividly. The nightmare that our ancestors once kept in the Fountain of Urde. β
Odin looked at the brilliant Rainbow Bridge under his feet and sighed: "The ancestors created the Rainbow Bridge to monitor the safety of the universe, and together with the Nine Realms, they created many artifacts as weapons to resist the apocalypse. But with the exception of us in Asgard, the other realms have forgotten their mission, forgetting our enemies of destiny. β
"War, plague, famine. And death ......"
"My king, our ancestors can repel them again and again, and we will certainly be able to do it." Heim was adamant, believing in his king and in Asgard's tenacity and strength.
Odin shook his head and sighed, "It's different, it's different!" According to prophecy, the twilight of the gods is coming in our generation, and the darkness of the Nine Realms is just around the corner. A powerful evil force will eventually envelop the World Tree. The Apocalypse is Coming...... I suspect that the terrible presence behind the apocalypse will also re-enter this world......"
Hear Odin's words. Heim's determined eyes faltered slightly: "Yes...... Is it the Creator? β
"Yes! Apocalypse is His firstborn Son, and we are just creatures He has sprinkled out of clay, and the naΓ―ve mortals of Midgard believe that He will give them His youngest Son and cleanse them of their original sins with His blood, but we all know the shame He has imprinted on our bodies. Contempt for us. β
Vaguely, Odin remembered what Apocalypse had said to the gods of Asgard: "No...... Don't get me wrong, I'm not addressing the gods, I'm talking about the people on the World Tree, elves! O dwarves! O giants! O human! β¦β¦ It's all monkeys. β
We used to be monkeys. But that doesn't mean we'll always be ...... O Creator! I will confess to you with the glory of the Asgardians' life that we are noble gods who inherit your will.
The power of the ice is like a tidal wave, surging!
The power that rushed out of the ice box shrouded half of Europe in the wind and snow, and the place closest to the magic box, the cold air was invincible, and even the steel was turned into powder in the north wind, only the high-tech metal in the hands of the warriors of Asgard could be supported, and the ghost energy alloy stubbornly resisted this cold wave close to absolute zero after being injected with biological ghost energy.
"Laufey!" Odin roared in front of the battle: "You have turned your back on the glory of your ancestors! β
In the midst of the blue-skinned giant, a frost giant with three scars on the right side of his face pushed his kindred away and walked up to Odin: "Odin, you're still so proud. You Asgardians, stealing thrones and claiming to be gods, but I know your details. It's just a bunch of dwarf monkeys who have stolen their divine powers! β
"As long as I drive you out of Asgard and rule the entire Nine Realms, you will be able to rise above the World Tree and become true and complete gods. Oust your group of false gods from the altar. Laufey looked up and laughed, pointing at Odin: "Why can you be high in Asgard while we are huddled in cold Jordan Haym, you know, we are from the same ......"
"Shut up!" Odin's spear unleashed a blinding bolt of lightning that knocked Laufey back several steps.
"The Asgardians are upright, kind, brave, and their character is great, how can you, greedy frost giants, be of the same origin as us?" Odin lifted the holy spear and glared at the ice giant, and the holy and powerful momentum3 pressed the giants to bow their heads.
"Odin, you thief!" Laufey was furious, and the Ice Crate in his hand radiated even greater power, sending a powerful cold wave that had frozen space towards the warriors of Asgard.
"Ice Box!" Odin's face was heavy, after all, this is an artifact created by the Nine Kingdoms to fight against the Apocalypse, and it is also related to the key plan to resist the wrath of the creator in the future, the energy of this weapon is endless, it is an ultimate weapon created by the Kingdom of Jordan and Heim at its peak, even Odin has to avoid its edge.
The temperature of a substance depends on the kinetic energy of the atoms, molecules, etc. within it. According to the Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution, the higher the kinetic energy of the particle, the higher the temperature of the matter. Theoretically, if the kinetic energy of the particle is as low as the lowest point of quantum mechanics, the matter reaches absolute zero, which is the power of the ice box.
In contrast to the cosmic heat death in which the fire giants created the Endless Fire, the ultimate power of the Ice Crate is to unleash the realm of death hidden within, a space in which all matter is completely free from particle vibrations, and its total volume is zero, and its entropy is zero.
If the Dead Realm is fully released, it will be enough to return the Nine Kingdoms to nothingness.
Pull into the dark world of eternal darkness, ice, no time and temperature.
The Ice Breath alone from the Crate has brought heavy casualties to the warriors of Asgard, and in the battle of strength and power, the collision of magic and frost, there are countless casualties, the Asgardians have extremely advanced technology and unpredictable magic, but the Frost Giants also have the Ice Crate and unique Giant technology.
In the end, Odin traded one of his eyes for the fountain of wisdom left to the Asgardian ancestors, enough power to defeat Laufey, Rune Runes, and Asgard Ancient Technology.
"Kungunir!"
Odin used the Eternal Spear through Laufey's lower abdomen to bring the Ice Crate back to Asgard, and the Nine Realms ushered in more than a century of peace, until the moment when his two children, Loki and Thor, took revenge on the Frost Giants for stealing the Ice Crate. (To be continued......)
