In the Dwarf Canis Major galaxy, 25,000 light-years from Earth, the space combat fleet from Asgard is using it as a rallying point to gather a large number of spaceships. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 Among these ships are the exaggerated ironclad forged battleships of the dwarves, and the elegant golden fleet carriers of the dark elves. The Frost Giants control ships of ice crystals like diamonds and stars, while the Elves ride on arks that grow from sacred trees. Of course, among them is the Asgardian Protoss, a higher race that rules these nine kingdoms.

Odin, the Lord of Asgard, dressed in a gold and silver suit, stands on the bow of an ancient wooden galleon with the Eternal Spear in his hand. The flagship of the fleet was the size of the moon, and the wide deck carried tens of thousands of soldiers. The entire huge wooden ship was shrouded in a strange magical shield, and all the asteroids that had unfortunately floated were shattered. Even in the harsh cosmic environment, the wood that made up this ship shows no signs of damage, and it is clear that this is not a mysterious object that human civilization can understand.

The flagship, named Sleiplani, has not had a chance to appear since the Nine Kingdoms were connected by the Rainbow Bridge. Now, after humans have seized the Cosmic Cube and severed its connection to the Rainbow Bridge, the ancient giant ship has been able to sail to the battlefield once again, unleashing its earth-destroying magical energy in one fell swoop.

Behind Odin were a neat and majestic array of Asgardian soldiers, all armed with divine powers, wearing armor embroidered with mysterious runes, solemnly awaiting Odin's orders.

Thor, Odin's proud son, came to his side, and despite some hesitation, he dutifully saluted Odin and reported: "The fleet is ready, just waiting for your orders, father." ”

After a lengthy build-up process, Asgard's expeditionary fleet was finally ready. Even Odin, who had a near-infinite lifespan, said that he had waited too long for this day, and he stretched out his palm and announced to the countless Asgardian warriors behind him: "The whole army obeys the order and begins the march to Earth!" ”

"Wait a minute!"

Suddenly, an incandescent bolt of lightning slammed down on Slyplani's deck, causing a crowd of Asgardian martial arts swords to unsheath their swords and become vigilant, and Thor filled Thor's hammer with surging thunder and lightning, ready to punish those who dared to offend Asgard. But Odin was the only one who didn't show the slightest vigilance, and ordered the others to lay down their weapons as well, knowing who was the source of this lightning bolt that could easily penetrate Sleiplani's shield, and that it was not Asgard's enemy.

The lightning miraculously did not cause any damage to the deck, and in the blinding white light, a sturdy figure appeared in front of Odin. The tall man rose nearly two meters, his upper body hung only a thin shoulder strap that exposed his bulging muscles to the air, and his lower body was a pair of animal-skin trousers, a snakeskin belt around his waist, a pair of bronze lion fists with teeth and claws, and a wooden longbow hanging from his back. He looks like a sturdy hunter, but he's hunting down the ferocious monsters of mythology.

"Hercules, what did Zeus want when he sent you?" Odin asked Hercules, the demigod who belonged to the Olympic Protoss, that Asgard and the Olympics had always maintained friendly and cooperative relations, so Odin did not regard Hercules as an enemy.

Hercules knelt down on one knee and saluted Odin and said, "The great Lord of Asgard, the father Zeus, has asked me to convey his message, hoping that you can suspend your plan to attack the earth and withdraw the armies of the nine kingdoms to Asgard ・・・・・・"

Odin stared at Hercules coldly, slammed the deck with the handle of his gun and asked displeasedly, "Why?" ”

Odin, who rules the Asgardian gods, and Zeus, who leads the Olympic gods, have an equal relationship with each other, so there is only consultation between them and no orders to speak of, and Odin will not send the long-prepared army back because of Zeus's words, which makes no sense.

Hercules explained respectfully, "God has foreseen the imminence of the crisis, and the expedition to Earth will make us ignore the real threat in front of us, the Devourer of Planets, who has returned. The galaxy will burn with his coming, the kingdom of the gods will be devoured by him, and the fate of all things is in jeopardy. ”

The planet targeted by the Planet Devourer has never been the only one on Earth, as long as there is life on the planet, it will be used as food by him, even the major higher races that are worshipped as gods on Earth have the same headache for the invincible monster of the Planet Devourer. Every time such a major crisis comes, multiple gods in the universe will always unite to discuss countermeasures, so this time, Zeus also sent Hercules to try to let Odin know of the existence of the threat.

But Odin didn't appreciate it, he waved his hand and said proudly, "Your warning is meaningful, but it won't take me long to purify an earth. I'll talk to Zeus about it at that point, but now the army of Asgard must go. ”

At this time, Thor, the god of thunder, who had doubts about the expedition to Earth, stepped forward and said, "Father, Hercules is right, we must pay attention to the immediate threat. We don't have to take the Earth right away, and it's not too late to wait until the Devourers of the Planets are driven out before we can deal with the Earth's problems. ”

Odin knew what Thor was thinking, he wanted to buy time to settle the incident by peaceful means on his own, but Odin really foresaw that it was impossible to choose to gather such a large army. He sighed deeply and said to Thor, "My child, what I am seeking is the power to defeat the Devourer of Planets. What's more, we have already paid the price for marching to Earth as soon as possible, and now there is no turning back. ”

"You've modified reality with Aether Gems, right? Your Majesty Odin, Hercules understood the reason for everything when he heard the word price, modifying reality was a more dangerous taboo than interfering with the timeline, and even a god-king as powerful as Odin could not use it without side effects.

While it's unclear what the Aether Gems do other than allow Asgard's fleet to assemble faster, it's clearly not a magical effect that would be pleasant.
