# Chapter 821: Heaven Falls
Everyone for me, and me for everyone.
Although there are seven Lantern Corps in total, the Green Lanterns tend to be more united than other Lantern Corps. Therefore, the rumor that Green Lanterns gathering together often leads to group annihilation can be considered a kind of survivor bias.
Putting aside those who have been used as stepping stones, Green Lanterns gathering together often unleash even more powerful power, and may even be able to defeat those well-known bad guys in the Universe. There is a reason why they are called Space Police.
Now, Peter and others have gathered together to protect Earth, their goal. Their minds are united, and their will is like a fortress.
Even a powerful weapon capable of destroying a planet seems insignificant in the face of five thousand powerful wills that can be materialized.
The shield that was about to shatter was instantly repaired, and even expanded a bit compared to before. The disaster was no longer a threat in the blink of an eye.
However, this is not a long-term solution.
Peter felt that he had to change the status quo. Simply defending could not protect Earth. What he saw and heard in a war changed him a lot. If possible, he wanted to solve all the angels here, or at least destroy this spaceship.
Feeling Peter's determination, Franklin, who was far away on Earth, decided to help this different 'uncle'.
His right hand clenched into a fist and raised to the sky, and a deep blue light suddenly lit up. The radiance broke through the dark clouds like a morning star, and could be seen clearly even outside Earth.
Of course, the Green Lanterns who were guarding their homeland with their backs to Earth could not see this scene, but they could feel the energy inside their bodies increasing rapidly, doubling in just a few seconds.
"This is?" Peter widened his eyes. In fact, not only him, but all the Green Lanterns were shocked by this sudden enhancement.
"Now is not the time to trace the source!" Amadeus's voice brought everyone's attention back.
"Looking at your bewildered looks, I know that the energy inside our bodies has all been enhanced, but we are now on the battlefield. Let's solve the enemy in front of us first and then think about other things!"
"Amadeus is right," Peter echoed. "Although I don't know why, with this energy, we have the means to defeat the enemy."
"Everyone listen to my command, increase energy output, let's push this thing back!"
Responses sounded in unison, and everyone increased their output at the same time. The energy lines that originally supported the shield now turned into energy pillars. Five thousand energy pillars inevitably intertwined.
However, how could wills with the same goal hinder each other? They intertwined and merged with each other, truly condensing into a rope, and finally even the shield began to transform, turning into a right hand larger than a planet.
The right hand became claw-shaped, pushing the energy cannon like pushing water flow, and began to advance, and the speed was not slow. In the blink of an eye, it pushed to the vicinity of the Heaven Warship.
"Close the main cannon, activate the shield, and prepare for interstellar travel to escape at any time!"
Angel Queen felt a drop of cold sweat flow down her forehead, but she still forced herself to calm down and issue orders, after all, she was the leader, and she could not lose her composure no matter what.
Angel Queen was still very prestigious. Even at this time, the angels could still execute her orders in an orderly manner.
The originally thick energy cannon began to gradually become smaller until it dissipated. Without the obstacles of the energy cannon, the Green Lanterns' big hand advanced faster and had already extended to the vicinity of the Heaven Main Ship.
Under the maneuver of the Green Lanterns, the big hand began to close, trying to grab the Heaven Main Ship in its hand, but it stopped at a position nearly a kilometer away, blocked by an invisible shield.
It was the shield that had blocked Peter's attack before. Under the Queen's command, the Main Ship used all the energy except for teleportation on the shield, hoping to buy enough time.
In the angels' apprehensive line of sight, the green big hand still stopped, but looking at the alarm sound that kept ringing around, they knew that the situation was not optimistic.
But at this time, they could not do anything, because like launching the main cannon, interstellar travel also takes time. The angels who had completed all the operations could only wait quietly for the energy to accumulate.
"Ten seconds left!"
An angel shouted after looking at the screen. The pressure brought by death had already made her unable to maintain calm. At this time, she wished she could directly drag the energy bar on the screen with her hand.
"Five seconds left!"
The alarm became more and more urgent, like a death knell. The angels felt their hearts about to jump out.
"Three seconds left!"
"One second left!"
"Start teleportation!"
The angel pressed the teleportation button, and the sound effect representing interstellar travel sounded. This sound was like giving all the angels a reassurance, which meant that they were finally safe.
But... is it really so?
"Why..." The angel who pressed the button trembled uncontrollably.
"Why... are we still in the original place!"
Just like the cry of the angel, after pressing the teleportation button, the Heaven Main Ship only made a sound effect and then remained in the original spot, without even moving.
"Crack!"
It has been mentioned before that sound cannot be heard in outer space, so the sound of glass shattering was actually an auditory hallucination from the angels' hearts.
Angel Queen looked up, and through the viewport, she could clearly see that the originally invisible energy shield began to show fissure, and the alarm sound also stopped teleportation.
"It's over..." Angel Queen sighed, and at this moment, it seemed that everything was relieved.
The green big hand slowly clenched, and the energy and fuel carried by the Heaven Main Ship erupted at the same time at this moment, but these tyrannical energies were all held in the hands of the Green Lanterns, and they never caused a bit of impact on the surroundings.
Observing the process of the battleship explosion through the translucent big hand, after everything returned to peaceful, the Green Lanterns slowly dispersed their energy.
Looking at the Universe Space that had become silent again, Peter and others looked at each other, and they found smiles that could not be suppressed on each other's faces.
This smile represents victory!
"We won!" Peter raised his right hand high, and the Green Light representing Will lit up again, but this time it was much softer.
Under Peter's leadership, the Lanterns raised their right hands one after another. This war against Earth finally came to an end at this moment, still in their hands.
The Green Lanterns began to let themselves go, using their Lantern Rings to create all kinds of favorite things to represent their joy, shining brightly outside Earth.
On the dark side of the Moon in the distance, Yang Le, who had transformed into a Naljian, was watching all this with relief.
(End of this chapter)
Chapter 822 Great Serpent and Odin
Yes, the reason Angels couldn't perform Interstellar Travel is precisely because he was playing tricks.
Nagirians, commonly known as 26th Dimensional Beings, are one of the few High-Dimensional Beings in the Omnitrix, whose Ability is absolute Control over Low-Dimensional Space.
Odin could, after expelling Heaven, prevent the latter from escaping Exiled Space by using Space Teleportation Technology, just because he used Odin Force to lock Angels in that Space.
What a Low-Dimensional Being like Odin can do, Nagirians can naturally also do, and even in terms of Space Control, the latter can do better than the former.
Yang Le just cast his Line of Sight towards Heavenly Main Battleship, and locked the latter in that Space. Space Technology, such advanced Technology, is like Play-Doh in the hands of Nagirians, allowing them to knead and play with it as they please.
Subsequently, the Angels who became turtles in a jar, naturally died at the hands of Green Lanterns.
Yang Le was very satisfied with this, because he had finally cultivated a group of qualified Superheroes for Earth. With this group of pioneers, presumably Universe 9527 will also usher in an Era of Flourishing of Heroes, just like in Comics.
Someone might ask, weren't there also Superhero Organizations like the Squadron Supreme on Earth before? What's the difference between now and before?
The Answer lies in the Green Lanterns in front of you. Unlike the Green Lanterns in the DC Universe who are controlled by the Guardians of the Universe, the Green Lanterns of Universe 9527 are Ordinary People who awakened in times of Crisis.
They not only don't have those disgusting Leaders, but are also a group of Comrades who have fought together for a Goal.
Unlike those 'Superheroes' influenced by the Government, the Green Lanterns developed in this way will definitely become the best Superhero benchmark, after all, they are Warriors who can truly sacrifice their Life for Earth.
In addition to the Fantastic Four who have already debuted, and the X-Men who have understood their Status Quo.
It can be said that as long as Reed Richards doesn't mess around, Universe 9527 will definitely become one of the safest Universes among all Parallel Universes. As long as no Multiverse Level Big Event occurs, they should be able to survive it.
But before that, we still need to solve the Big Event in front of us. Although the Angels have all been resolved, the real Main Figure behind this Big Event has not yet been brought to justice.
Thinking like this, a Light suddenly shot out from the other end of the distant Universe. The Light was like a Meteor, smashing towards Earth at a Speed so fast that even the Green Lanterns who were celebrating couldn't react.
"What is that Thing?" a Lantern Corps Member took the lead in asking.
"No matter what that is, in short, it's definitely not a Meteor." Amadeus turned his head to look at Earth. Since becoming a Green Lantern, he has discovered that his thinking Ability and reaction Ability have been greatly enhanced.
Although he hasn't specifically Test it, Amadeus found that he can completely see Angel Fighters moving at the Speed of Sound on Earth.
You know, when he was still an Ordinary Person, although Amadeus was a Researcher, he was also a healthy young man who exercised regularly, and could generally participate in amateur-level badminton competitions.
But this doesn't mean he has the basis to react to Speed of Sound. He knows this is all because of the enhancement of Green Lantern Ring. This improvement is so terrifying that he couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat when he realized it.
But, even with such reaction Ability, he still couldn't see clearly what Thing just passed by. This Speed is really too terrifying. Maybe that Thing has already landed during the Time he was thinking.
If that was some kind of Bomb, Earth would have been destroyed by now.
This Thought appeared in the Brains of all Lantern Corps Members. They didn't have Time to think more and immediately changed Direction and flew towards the Direction of Earth.
Yang Le in the distance naturally also saw all of this. Although the Lantern Corps Members couldn't see clearly, Yang Le who became Stasis could see clearly.
The Stasis Race Nagirians, while being 26th Dimensional Beings, also possess a High-Dimensional perspective. They can see many Things that Low-Dimensional Humans cannot see.
The World in the perspective of Nagirians is very magical. That Feeling is like Plankton seeing the World in SpongeBob's eyes, so colorful that Yang Le was extremely unaccustomed to it when he transformed for the first Time.
Just now, in Yang Le's perspective, inside that Light were Odin and Great Serpent. Odin was holding Gungnir and Great Serpent, falling towards Earth. At a glance, it was a Gesture of about to determine Victory.
This is also the Reason why Yang Le was OMOing on the side. If it was really some Crisis that Green Lanterns couldn't solve, Yang Le would have already taken action to solve it.
It seems that this Big Act is also coming to an end.
Yang Le turned around, cut open the Space beside him and drilled into it. Let Great Serpent be solved by themselves, he still has more Important Things to do.
…
On Earth, the Humans who had just received News of Victory from the Green Lanterns were just preparing to celebrate when they felt a tremor, followed by a deafening roar.
People nearby cast their Line of Sight towards the Blast Center where the Smoke was gradually dissipating, and only saw two Old Persons wearing Armor standing one above and one below in the Pit.
The first thing they saw was a Single Eye Old Man wearing a golden Armor. At this time, he was holding a Spear that looked like a work of art and inserted it into the Belly of the black-haired Old Man lying on the Ground.
Beside the black-haired Old Man, there was also a broken Hammer lying there. Not only was the Hammerhead broken into several pieces, but even the Hammer Handle was broken into several sections. If the Fragments hadn't scattered far, it might even be impossible to tell that those Fragments were originally a Hammer.
"Cough cough cough!"
The one who took the lead in breaking the Silence was the Old Man lying down. A burst of rapid coughing, accompanied by constantly gushing Blood Plasma, obviously the Old Man was already on the verge of Death.
"You lost, Great Serpent."
The Single Eye Old Man was Odin. He held Gungnir with a cold voice, but a trace of indescribable sadness flashed in his Gaze.
"Yes... I lost."
Great Serpent was on his last breath, looking like he was only exhaling and not inhaling, as if he could die at any Time.
"But... you also... didn't win!"
The Asgardian Allied Forces who were just about to cheer, under the reminder of Great Serpent, looked back at their God King, Odin. Sure enough, they saw a Fissure in the Armor on Odin's Waist Side, and Blood would drip out from time to time.
Of course, just this Wound, let alone Odin himself, even an Asgardian Child wouldn't care, but the Blood flowing out of that Wound was purplish-black.
"My Poison... in the Prophecy... it was this Thing that would kill your Child... I didn't expect that after the Prophecy was broken, it would be used on you."
Great Serpent grinned, Fresh Blood kept gushing out, and it was unclear whether that Expression was a smile or what he was doing.
"It's really... making me happy!"
(End of chapter)
Chapter 823: Shadow of Blank Space
In the original prophecy, the Asgardian Crown Prince would fight with Fear God Great Serpent. In the end, the Crown Prince would kill Great Serpent, and then he himself would be poisoned and die after taking a few steps due to the venom.
This story was originally about Jörmungandr and Thor in the Real Universe. Marvel does have Jörmungandr, but the writers placed this well-known story in Europe and America onto the original character Great Serpent Kur.
Having said so much, what I want to express is that Great Serpent's venom has the same characteristics as Jörmungandr in mythology: it is extremely fast-acting, and even Asgardians cannot resist it.
Even God King Odin, who possesses Odin Force, could only last a little longer at most.
Odin looked solemnly at the wound on his waist. The wound no longer felt pain at this point. If it weren't for the loss of life energy in his body and the gradual breakdown of his physical function, Odin might have forgotten he was injured.
Asgardians are not afraid of death, and Odin, who possesses supreme Divine Power, is no exception. No matter the situation, Odin could face death with courage.
But he absolutely could not die in this way. As the God King of Asgard, the most powerful being in the Nine Realms, he couldn't just find a pit and jump in like an ordinary person, bury himself with soil, close his eyes, and lie there waiting for death.
He was God King, and endless power was hidden inside his body. To use a saying from Midgard, he was a treasure from head to toe.
Whether it was his physical body or soul, even a fur falling into the hands of someone with ulterior motives could have unexpected uses, and the same was true for his elder brother Great Serpent.
If he were in Asgard, he could confidently entrust the aftermath to his tribesmen, but that wouldn't work in Midgard.
Odin was certain that if he closed his eyes and lay down now, many things would emerge from the dark corners. At that point, not only Midgard, but the entire universe would be threatened.
Not to mention anything else, just consider Hela, who was in Midgard not long ago. The mistress of Helheim had been coveting his soul for a long time. Although she was repelled, she wasn't fundamentally harmed, and who knew if she would return.
As for those bastards lurking in the darkness, not to mention them. They were probably already thinking about how to divide up his body.
"A bunch of hyenas..." Odin cursed under his breath.
"Heimdall, teleport me and Great Serpent away."
As soon as he spoke, a colorful light curtain descended from the sky, enveloping them both. Dust flew up for a time. When everything settled, Odin and Great Serpent had vanished without a trace.
After a while, until a wisp of ordinary breeze blew past, a soldier came back to his senses. He looked up and murmured softly, but because no one was speaking at the scene, his words reached everyone's ear.
"Is it really over this time?"
Except for the breeze stirring up dust, no one could answer his question.
...
In a blank space far from the Universe, Yang Le, who had become a Nalgian, stood there. He hadn't chosen to return to Earth and tear through space just to come here.
This space was no less significant than any realm in the Ten Realms. Yang Le, transformed into a Nalgian, could keenly sense the difference between this place and the outside world. In his eyes as a 26-Dimension Human, the structure here was vastly different from the outside world.
Unlike the colorful world outside, this place was like a blank sheet of paper. Everything was so boring, just like the masters who managed it.
Yang Le turned his head and cast his line of sight behind him. Although it was blank space just like everywhere else, Yang Le seemed to see something and was scrutinizing it.
From the perspective of a 26-Dimension Human, behind Yang Le sat a group of enormous figures composed of white and gray shadows.
There were five figures in total. Each figure was enormous in body size; even the smallest was the size of a mountain.
From their appearance, they looked like replicas of the Asgardian Gods. The one on the far left wore a Bull Horn Helmet like Heimdall and was clad in heavy armor.
The one beside him resembled Thor, also wearing a helmet with wings and a wide cape made of shadows.
Yang Le couldn't find a counterpart for the one on the far right. He wore a helmet with a pair of small horns, a stark contrast to the Large Horn Cow opposite him.
Next to the Small Horn Cow sat a shadow that strongly resembled Loki, with a female appearance, wearing a mask on her face, and with an inscrutable expression.
These shadows surrounded the one seated in the very center, the largest shadow. He seemed to be the strongest and most important, as his appearance was almost a replica of Odin.
A face full of beard, a helmet with two long feathers—even Odin himself would be taken aback.
But unlike the Asgardian Gods, these shadows had no color. They looked like simple line drawings on white paper.
Of course, this was just how these pretentious things looked from a normal perspective. Yang Le could see much more by shifting his perspective.
However, seeing them was enough. Yang Le really didn't want to see those abstract things composed of various things again—they looked like something Junji Ito or Go Nagai would draw.
Just looking at these things for too long would give you nightmares. Who said low-dimension humans would go insane upon seeing high-dimension humans? Wasn't his experience the complete opposite?
"Impudent fool."
Just as Yang Le was feeling disgusted, the shadow that looked much like Thor spoke.
"Who permitted you to gaze directly upon the noble body of God Above Gods? You should kneel, and then..."
"Bullshit."
Yang Le interrupted the shadow's words with a gesture in the air. The latter froze mid-sentence, as if someone had pressed a pause button, remaining in that gesture, unable to move.
"I've been polite. You should be burning incense in gratitude that I didn't kill you all the moment I made my entrance. And you're still putting on airs with me, you clueless things."
The ability Yang Le casually displayed clearly frightened these shadows. Except for the shadow in the very center, who resembled Odin, the others all showed expressions of surprise.
"Unfamiliar Guest," the Odin shadow spoke. "While we may have spoken wrongly, the fact remains that you are at fault for intruding directly into our domain."
"I came in, so what are you going to do about it?" Yang Le spread his hands, adopting a confrontational stance.
That was his personality. He would try to reason with people he cared about, but with those he didn't, like this group, he preferred a more direct, less talkative approach.
The Odin shadow was silent for a moment before speaking again.
"We wish to avoid unnecessary struggle and are willing to share the upcoming feast with you."
(End of Chapter)
Chapter 824 God Above Gods and the Truth of Ragnarok
The shadow similar to Odin finally ceased to be expressionless when 'Feast' was mentioned; on the contrary, its expression became very rich.
Yang Le saw pride, desire, and even heartache on the other's face. Obviously, it valued the upcoming 'Feast' very much and was not very willing to share this matter with Yang Le, an Outsider.
However, Yang Le sneered at the 'Feast' that was regarded as a treasure by these shadows.
This was because Yang Le was quite clear about the truth of this so-called 'Feast'. The truth of this 'Feast' was actually the Asgardian Gods led by Odin.
In the Marvel Universe, there are countless Powerful Creatures, most of which call themselves with very noble nouns. These words, when translated into Earth language, can mostly be translated into 'Gods'.
The group of shadows in front of them were a group of Guys who called themselves Gods, but one thing was different. These Guys were even more arrogant. They called themselves God Above Gods.
These Guys disdained to be with those self-proclaimed Gods, such as Asgardians, and other Creatures. This was because, in their view, these Low-Dimensional Being Gods could only be regarded as Grain for them, the God Above Gods.
Yes, you heard right, these God Above Gods regarded ordinary Gods as Grain. Now you should understand what their so-called Feast is, right? It is the Asgardian Gods.
Although these God Above Gods were a bit interesting, they were not considered anything special in the Marvel Universe where there were many Great Power, so in order to enhance their Strength, they came up with a Method.
This Method is simply the Big Fish eats Little Fish. They rely on devouring Gods weaker than themselves to enhance their Power. Ultimately, the target they chose was the Asgardian Gods.
This is because, in the eyes of God Above Gods, this group of Asgardian Gods is considered the strongest among the Low-Dimensional Being Gods. When eating, naturally, you have to eat the best, so Thor and others were unlucky.
God Above Gods planned a Conspiracy against the Asgardian Gods, a Conspiracy called Ragnarok.
Ragnarok is a Catastrophe for the Norse Gods. In this Big Event, all Norse Gods will die. Although the process in the Marvel Universe is somewhat different, the outcome is similar, both are the ending of the Gods' fall.
But one thing is different, Ragnarok in the Marvel Universe has been cycled/repeated several times. Yang Le doesn't know the specific number of times, but it is definitely more than once or twice.
In the plan of God Above Gods, Asgard is destined to fall. After the fall, the Asgardian Gods will turn into Nourishment for them, and then after a while, the Asgardian Gods will be reborn and Revive again.
The Revived Gods will not remember what happened before at all. Everything will start from scratch until Ragnarok comes again, repeating endlessly, forever.
However, in the Main Universe, Odin discovered this Conspiracy, but he found that he was not an opponent of the God Above Gods at all, and could only bet everything on his son Thor, who had even higher Potential than himself.
Thor did not disappoint Odin's expectations. After suffering, he obtained powerful Power and eventually became Rune King Thor's most famous State, pulling Asgard out of the infinite cycle.
However, Rune King Thor did not completely kill God Above Gods. Later, his good Younger brother, Loki, who became the God of Stories, completely solved this group of God Above Gods who were like Deep-rooted Poison.
Logically speaking, Loki, the God of Stories, should have completely solved all God Above Gods in the Marvel Multiverse, but Universe 9527 was an Accident.
In the Marvel Multiverse, Parallel Universes are born and die every moment, and Loki deleted this group of Vermin from the root of the Story.
Therefore, even newly born Universes will no longer have this group of Vermin, but Universe 9527 is different. This Universe is a newborn Universe born under Yang Le's artificial intervention.
Before Eternity accepted it, Universe 9527 was not considered an orthodox Marvel Multiverse, so the Power of Loki, the God of Stories, did not affect this Universe.
When Yang Le created Universe 9527, he actually mixed the existing Marvel Universe with various Knowledge in his mind, which allowed these Guys who should have disappeared in the Story to make a comeback.
In general, this time it was Yang Le's Problem, and he only understood this matter not long ago.
But it's never too late to mend the fold after the sheep are lost, Yang Le still has an Opportunity to wipe his Butt.
"No interest." Yang Le waved his Tentacle. "Devouring Low-Level Life can indeed enhance oneself at the Energy Level, but don't you think that only you can think of this straightforward Method of enhancement?"
"What do you mean?" The God Above Gods similar to Loki asked.
"Literal meaning." Yang Le stretched out his Tentacle to touch the Omnitrix on his Belt.
"You definitely can't see it, that's because you are too Low-Level. In my Eyes, you are like the Veteran Burger that Mr. Krabs made to deal with others, with a sense of beauty of the Fly."
Yang Le babbled a lot, but this group of God Above Gods who were not interested in Low-Level Civilization could not understand what Yang Le was saying at all, but they could still hear the Discrimination and disgust in his tone.
"It seems you are going to refuse us." Odin God Above Gods's tone gradually became cold. "I admit that your Control over Space is daunting, but it is not enough to kill us."
"You can Control us, but when we get used to and Cracking your Ability, it will be your Death."
It seems that this group of Vermin regarded Yang Le as a waste with only three tricks.
Nagirians, as 26-Dimension Humans, are born with absolute Control over Space, but this is not their most terrifying Ability. Their most terrifying thing is to break away from the thinking Method of Low-Dimensional Beings.
Nagirians' Technology is very advanced. Even the Omnitrix is just a Child's Toy in their Eyes, so their truly powerful Power is actually Technology.
However, Yang Le didn't want to waste Time on this group of arrogant Vermin. At this time, it is better to choose simple difficulty.
Skillfully turning the watch dial, stopping at a familiar Position, and skillfully pressing the watch dial, with a 'pa' sound, a White Light that was purer than this Space lit up.
The White Light dissipated, revealing a familiar Starry Sky Body, Trident Crown, it was Alien X representing Invulnerability.
Perhaps it was because he had used Alien X too many times, Yang Le could now skillfully turn to Alien X's Position without even looking at the watch dial. Could this be considered getting used to cheating? This is not good, not good.
Repenting for 1 Attosecond in his Heart, Yang Le snapped his fingers before the God Above Gods could react.
(End of chapter)
Chapter 825 Odin's Death
"It's all over."
Thor released Loki, who he had been restraining. Just as they were fighting, the Heaven Hammer, which was pinned down by Mjolnir, suddenly shattered into two halves. The meaning contained within was self-evident.
At the same time, as the Heaven Hammer shattered, Loki also stopped resisting. Thor had just checked him; his breathing was steady, and there were no obvious external injuries. He should just be unconscious. Of course, it's also possible that he suffered Mental Trauma due to Magic. All of this needs to be further examined in Asgard to draw a conclusion.
Most of the Magic Thor understood was related to battle. A small part was also Basic Healing Magic, but he couldn't be as comprehensive as his Queen Frigga. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Thor only cast Spirit Stabilizing Magic on Loki and didn't do anything extra.
Picking up Loki, Thor was about to call Heimdall to teleport them back to Asgard when he received Communication from the other party first.
"Prince."
"Heimdall?" Thor sensed a hint of unease from the address. In the past, Heimdall rarely used such a formal title to address him.
"I was just about to contact you. I've resolved things here. Teleport me and Loki back."
"I was just about to do that, Prince," Heimdall's tone was serious. "Rather, no matter what you are doing now, you must return immediately."
Thor's brow, which had just lifted because the war was over, now furrowed again. Although Heimdall hadn't said anything explicitly, it felt like he had said everything.
"I understand," Thor nodded. "Teleport, Heimdall."
After a burst of colored Light, Thor returned to Asgard. Heimdall, along with several Generals and some Maids, were already waiting for him. Thor didn't hesitate. After handing Loki over to a Maid, he followed the Generals to the Back Garden of Asgard. When he arrived at the Destination, Thor realized that he was probably the last one to arrive.
Balder, Vidar, Hermod, every Brother was present. When they noticed Thor's arrival, they proactively made way, revealing the person they were gathered around. Their Father, Odin, was sitting on a Chair, and their Queen Frigga was kneeling beside him, accompanying him.
Thor immediately saw the Wound on Odin's Waist Side. Frigga's Right Hand was flashing with a soft Green Light, and she was holding a bunch of World Tree Leaves pressed against Odin's Wound, but Purple Blood was still flowing out from the Leaves. Clearly, it was Venom, and the kind of Venom that couldn't be cured by Magic.
"Father…"
"Come here, Thor."
Thor had just opened his mouth when Odin interrupted him. The latter's vigorous Sound even made Thor wonder if the Wound he saw was an Illusion. Thor didn't disobey his Father at this time. He strode towards Odin and stopped when he reached close Presence.
"I'm dying." Odin didn't speak Nonsense. He stated the Important Things directly. Although Thor was prepared, he still couldn't help but clench his Fists. "The Great Serpent is no ordinary opponent. He came with the intention of perishing together with me from the start. Even though I was careful, I still fell for his trick."
"Isn't there a Method to cure it?" Thor asked unwillingly.
"The Great Serpent's Venom is spreading too fast," Frigga, who had been maintaining Magic, shook her head. "By the time your Father returned, the Venom had already penetrated deep into his bone marrow. If it weren't for the World Tree Leaves, he might not have even been able to wait for your return."
The implication was that there was no Method. Thor didn't dare to look at his Queen's Expression at this moment. His other half departing first was an extremely cruel thing for any loving couple.
"It's nothing, just Death." Odin didn't seem to care about his own life or Death. "There are more Important Things now."
"Thor Odinson!"
Odin suddenly raised his Voice, looking like he was having a final burst of Energy. Thor reflexively knelt down. When he looked up again, Odin was already standing in front of him, holding a luxurious Sword in his Hand.
"Crown Prince of Asgard, I now bestow upon you the Throne of Asgard. You will become the Leader of Asgard, the new God of Protection for the Nine Realms!"
Odin slammed the Sword in his Hand, point down, into the Ground. A large amount of Golden Energy surged into the Ground from the Sword's point, turning into golden Ripples that spread in all Directions. But soon, these surging Golden Energy waves returned with even more Color. However, this time their Goal was not Odin, who released the Energy, but Thor, who was kneeling on the Ground.
Thor didn't yet understand what was happening when he heard Odin say from the side.
"Stand up, the Monarch of Asgard does not need to kneel before anyone!"
And at this moment, the returning Energy also arrived beside Thor. In the next Second, this Energy lifted Thor up, forcibly making him stand. A powerful Energy continuously surged into Thor's Body. This Energy was comprehensively strengthening him. The Energy that would have originally taken him thousands of years to accumulate was now achieved in just a few Seconds.
It was unknown how long had passed, a Second? Or a year? In short, by the time Thor absorbed the Energy and regained Consciousness, Odin had transformed from a vigorous and robust middle-aged Person into a gaunt and emaciated Old Person. If it weren't for Frigga supporting him, Odin might have already been unable to stand. The luxurious Sword in his Hand was even more of a burden, not only unable to support Odin's Body but also causing his Body to sway back and forth.
"This is Odinforce…"
With Frigga's Help, Odin finally managed to lift the Odin Sword. Seeing this, Thor hurriedly reached out and took the Sword. In the process of taking the Sword, Thor inadvertently glanced at Frigga's Face. He couldn't describe that Expression, but he knew that today would become an Unresolved Issue in his Mother's Heart forever.
"I've never felt so weak…" Odin chuckled, as if he wasn't an Old Person about to die, but a playful old child asking for Sugar. "Now you are the new God King of Asgard. Come here, Child, I have a few Words to say to you."
Such an intimate address, yet it placed a heavy Stone in the Hearts of everyone present. Thor opened his mouth several times but couldn't say anything, and could only obediently walk to Odin's Presence. Odin pulled Thor closer to him, held his Hand, and said, "As the God King of Asgard, you must not only love your People, but also protect the vulnerable in the Nine Realms. You must do your best to maintain the Safety of the Nine Realms, and of course, the most Important Thing."
"Don't forget your Family, they are the most important."
