Chapter 434: The Ins and Outs
"Teacher?" "Ancient One Master?" "Father?"
As the two newly appeared figures took off their hoods, Kane and the others let out an exclamation, because what appeared in front of them was the ancient mage who had been missing for a long time and the dead Odin.
"Father, how are you—" Thor came to Odin's side excitedly and surprised, reaching out and grabbing his arm, as if to determine if his father was hallucinating in front of him.
"Because of the twilight of the gods." Odin glanced at his son with relief, what he was most worried about was that this reckless son would lead his people to die one after another when he was away, but fortunately, the back hand he arranged was not used, this stupid boy finally got his senses, and did not choose to fight hard but saved most of Asgard's strength.
Odin looked at the woman called Death again, she didn't seem to mind Odin and they reminisced, but looked at the surrounding scenery with interest, out of fear of her identity, Odin They didn't mind preparing more.
"We've been wondering why there was a prophecy about Ragnarok thousands of years ago, as if we were living for the final death." Odin looked at Thor lovingly, and then continued to stare at death, "So, I pretended to be dead and hid aside, of course, this could not have been without the help of the Ancient One, who put me in a mirror space without attracting anyone's attention. ”
"There, we saw the destruction of Asgard, and there were people manipulating all this, Hela, Surtr, who were like marionettes doing their job, and all this was to plunder the energy of Asgard's world."
"What?" Thor was stunned, plundering the energy of an entire world? What do you mean, another Igo?
"You've seen the Venus flytrap."
“... I've seen it. ”
"Asgard is the bait bag full of nectar, think about how the rich aura and eternal flame there attracted us in the first place, and when a race like us in the universe with divine power will fight for this best habitat, and eventually, the strongest race will settle here."
"Then, we multiply there, with the help of the aura of that land, we give birth to powerful individuals, and then we go around fighting and plundering, snatching resources from other worlds, and finally, when the resources are accumulated enough, the lid of the Venus will be closed, and all the resources will be sold, and Hela and Surtr are the lids of Asgard."
"But isn't Hela my sister?"
"Everyone in our family is blonde, but what about Hela?"
Thor was stunned, indeed, Odin and he were both blonde, but why was Hela black-haired, could it be that she was adopted like Loki?
"Hela was born in Asgard, and, the year after we had taken full control there, her mother died just after she was born, and I suspect she was the product of a conspiracy." Odin stared at Death's black hair, and there was a little resentment in his tone, "Hela is too smart, she learns everything quickly from the day she was born, and, just as an adult, she discovered the existence of Niforheim alone, so she naturally obtained the god of death, and now that I think about it, all this is too much of a coincidence." ”
“... Maybe it's a coincidence..."
"Yes, maybe Hela is a coincidence, but what about Surtr, your grandfather cut off his head with his own hands, and how did he come back to life without the Eternal Flame?"
..... Thor was completely speechless, Odin was right, it was all too coincidental, and even, he remembered Loki, who was now a child, and several people in the Ragnarok prophecy were all able to come back from the dead, not so much a miracle of life, but a miracle of death, if there was a mastermind behind all this, death was definitely the most suspicious one.
"Not only Asgard, but I also saw other events that happened to us, the Olympian gods, the Aztec gods, the Egyptian Nine Pillars, etc. We searched all over the universe and finally found some clues from some barren planets, such as the star Morag where the kid found the Power Gem. Odin gestured to Star-Lord as he walked this way, "We have found some legends in the remaining murals there, and in this universe there are five gods in addition to the Infinity Stones, they are Infinity, Eternal, Death, Annihilation, and Planet Eater, and they represent an abstract source of power in the universe. ”
"Although they are brothers and sisters in name, they are enemies of each other because of the power they represent, among them, the infinite and eternal brothers and sisters represent life and order, and the death and chaos represented by death and annihilation are their enemies, a long time ago, death tried to pull the life of the entire universe into the kingdom of death, and the infinite and eternal stopped her and divided and sealed it, however, before being sealed, death split its own body and threw it to all corners of the universe, And these fragments of her body have become gods everywhere in the universe, such as Asgard. ”
"When I saw the destruction of these gods at about the same time, I guessed that death was about to break the seal, and in the end, as Thanos continued to collect the Infinity Stones, we thought of the soul gems, and only this artifact that accompanied the birth of the universe was enough to seal the god of death."
"So, Thanos was also lured by death to collect all the Infinity Stones regardless of life and death?" Kane also understood everything, and couldn't help but open his mouth to confirm it.
"It seems that this is the case, which is why he was able to kill all his kindred with his own strength, which is something that is so powerful that a cosmic power such as the Kree Empire does not dare to say that it will definitely be able to do it, and for death, this is just a trivial matter."
"Ah~" Death yawned, looked at the superheroes who had surrounded her, and said lazily, "After that, I'm sleepy, I have to admit that you and the descendants of that little guy in Agomoto are quite powerful, and you can find the truth of the matter so quickly, yes, I did all this, so what, all life in this universe has a day when they die, I just made this time a little earlier, besides, exchange their lives for the return of a god, What's so bad about that? ”
"I don't want to comment on whether it's good or not, I just know that Eternity and Infinite don't like your return, so I think it's better for you to continue to sleep in the soul gem."
"Just you people, oh yes, I forgot to tell you, I already feel it, eternity has disappeared from this universe, although I don't know when he will come back, but without his help, even infinity can't seal me alone, so how do you want me to go back?" Death smiled at Odin.
