Chapter 400: The Underworld
When the queen Frigga was killed by the dark elves who raided Asgard, the Asgardians gave her a grand sea burial. The "sea burial" here www.biquge.info different from that on earth. The body of the Queen of God was first preserved intact and put into a small boat. Then, under the watchful eyes of the Asgardians who attended the funeral, the boat would drift slowly forward with the current in blessings and mourning, towards the edge of the sea. At the edge, a sharpshooter shoots a lit arrow through it and ignites it - this is the heaviest cremation. Finally, the soul of the queen of the gods in the firelight will appear in the form of a little starlight, float into the night sky, and finally return to the soul, and in some mysterious and direct way, it will reach the Heim underworld, which is responsible for guiding the dead in the nine realms, and prepare to start a new reincarnation.
It feels a bit like the legend of reincarnation in Chinese mythology, right? How could a high-tech civilization like Asgard have such superstitious customs?
Forget it, don't take it seriously.
Now that I have explained the background of the incident, I will now talk about what happened...... Well, there's not much to say. Originally, some time had passed since the death of the god queen, and her body was cremated after the funeral, so that her soul should have reached the Heim underworld within a certain period of time. It's nothing. And then theoretically, if Odin is in need, with his status, even if he doesn't ask directly, he can still half-guess from Heim's underworld what kind of new beginning the god queen will have. However, the Asgardians have always had a very high moral code and a bottom line, and when people die, they die, and that is a new beginning, and to pay attention to the next journey of a dead person should never happen in their history. Even if it was Odin, no matter how painful his heart was, he didn't continue to haunt the dead god queen. Therefore, what happened to the Queen of God after she arrived in the Heim Underworld, no one on Asgard's side has ever known.
Until today.
An Asgardian warrior in charge of liaising with Heim's underworld suddenly received a report from a small person in the palace of the goddess of death, Hela, saying that Hela, the goddess of death, in order to avenge the Asgardians' dispatch of her to the Heim underworld, detained the soul of the god queen Frigga and prevented her from entering reincarnation, and was considering whether to find some monsters, pick out one of them to fuse with the soul of the queen of the gods, and then put it into reincarnation, in this way to insult Asgard and avenge the original revenge.
Upon receiving the news, the Asgardian warrior realized that the stakes were high and did not report it immediately, but went to collect evidence first. Of course, if it is true, if it is dragged down, the soul of the Queen of God is more likely to be defiled. Therefore, as long as there is even a hint of clue - or even no clue - as long as there is a relevant sign, he will be the first to report. As a result, it didn't take much effort or effort to investigate, and it happened that Hela, the goddess of death, told her subordinates about it during an outing two hours after Earth time, and was heard by the Asgardian warrior who was secretly following nearby. So, he immediately reported the situation to one of his bosses in Asgard through special means.
To mention here, although Heimdall has clairvoyance and ears, he is also only a person, with only one pair of eyes, one pair of ears and one brain, and without the legendary N-core and 2N threads, it is impossible to pay attention to all the places in the nine realms at the same time. Therefore, basically every Asgardian warrior who goes out because of a mission will bring a communication item that directly connects with Asgard. This time, this method of communication comes in handy. The Asgardian warrior's boss, after repeatedly confirming the news of the incident, sensibly chose not to make it public, leaving the matter to a limited number of people for the time being. There were only a few people here, apart from him and the Asgardian warrior who remained in the underworld of Haim, - the god-king Odin. In order to ensure that the news would reach Odin smoothly and inevitably, he formed a pair of gold-armored warriors and personally went to Odin's Golden Temple with the news, so there was the scene that Zorro saw at that time. Among those who didn't see Zorro after that, "Odin" asked the captain to gather the army, and at the same time recalled Thor, who was still trying to find a way to enter the nebula on the edge of the sea to find Zorro, and told the latter the news from the Heim underworld. This meeting didn't last long, and the father-son/brother had a rare direct unanimity of opinion, which was to wage war against the Heim Underworld.
Although there is a consensus of opinion, the details are still worth considering. In Thor's opinion, he was ready to say the reason directly, with the support that the queen received among the people of Asgard, it would definitely be easy to inspire the indignation and enthusiasm of the warriors, so that the battle would be twice as effective with half the effort, and it would also give an explanation for the other areas that would focus on the battle later, so as not to cause them to distrust the Asgardians like Loki did in the Atrium last time. However, Loki, who is incarnated as Odin, doesn't think so. He believes that the announcement of the news that Heim's underworld is imprisoned and is preparing to defile the soul of the god queen will indeed boost morale, but at the same time, it will also leak the news and make Heim's underworld prepared. His opinion is to gather all the armies in the shortest possible time, open the rainbow bridge through Heimdall and teleport them directly to the hinterland of Heim's underworld, defeat Heim's underworld in a devastating way, defeat Hela, the goddess of death, and release the soul of the god queen as quickly as possible. And if anyone later questioned Asgard's motives, not to mention the informer, the evidence recovered from Eleudnir should also prove that the Asgardians were born for a reason.
"It can also show the strength of our Asgard once again." Finally, "Odin" also added such a sentence.
It was originally the opinion of the "father", and at the same time there was enough truth, and this last sentence also gave Saul the feeling of killing multiple birds with one stone. So, he agreed.
Of course, this kind of thing can't really be announced until the start of the fight. If nothing else, Heimdall had to know in advance that he had opened the Rainbow Bridge. He was not satisfied, and drove the rainbow bridge that was supposed to go to the hinterland of Haim's underworld to the very edge of Haim's underworld, and it would be a pit. Of course, with Thor's knowledge of Heimdall, even if he didn't say the reason but only the location, Heimdall wouldn't really deliberately mess with the teleportation. But even if it's just resentment, Thor doesn't want to see it. And since he had to tell Heimdall, Thor also let a few friends know by the way. They all know the seriousness of the matter and will not tell the truth.
Except for Vostag. After listening to what Thor said, this brainless foodie subconsciously yelled in anger, almost leaking his mouth. As a result, Thor and the others complained.
"By the way, what about Odin?" In this case, Heimdall still did not forget to ask. He had just experienced the loss of his wife and had not yet recovered from it, but he was a little worried that Odin's performance would become more and more irrational.
As a result, Thor's response added to Heimdall's concerns.
"Father has gone to activate the destroyers."
Hearing this, Heimdall said no more, and Vandal and the others couldn't help but inhale.
