"So, about this Ragnarok?" Thor asked, looking towards his father, Odin.
Initially, he hadn't taken the so-called Ragnarok seriously. It was just something the Earthlings wrote when they were composing their myths; he found it amusing. After all, would a person get angry at an ant?
No, he wouldn't, so he hadn't been angry.
But now he knew that Ragnarok wouldn't just happen; it would be incredibly brutal.
"I don't know the specifics," Odin said, as if he was remembering something. He seemed to have an inkling of what the so-called Ragnarok was, but there was no point in talking about it now. He continued, "In Lin Feng's diary, since it says you're Star-Crossed, it implies that you'll live to the end, at least. No matter what form Ragnarok takes, you need to be strong enough. If you had the strength of an Allfather, none of this would be a problem. You're just not training hard enough. I've been too indulgent with you in recent years!"
Thor wanted to argue, but he knew he couldn't. Although he had been through a lot, fighting for Asgard for many years, it was nothing compared to the dangers his father and sister had faced in the early days of their careers.
"Fortunately, we still have time, my son. You have a few years. I will do my best to guide your strength. If you can protect more people, then do so, especially your mother. Take care of her for me," Odin sighed, his face filled with love.
Listening to Odin's almost final words, Thor's eyes reddened. He began to regret why he hadn't trained properly before, why he had become so complacent so early, and as a result, couldn't protect anything.
"I will, I promise. Not just Mother, but Loki too, I won't let anything happen to him." Thor quickly assured. "But I'm afraid I can't do it, I don't have that much potential…"
Thinking of his father and sister's power, Thor really didn't have the confidence to reach that level.
"You can, you just don't understand where the core of your power lies. So, let me ask you, what kind of god are you? Are you the God of Thunder? Or the God of the Hammer?" Odin began to give him some pointers.
"I am, of course, the God of Thunder." Thor immediately replied, but he immediately lacked confidence, because he understood his father's meaning. He relied too much on Mjolnir. This thing even originally belonged to his sister, and the previous master might have been his father.
But none of them relied on Mjolnir, only himself. In the past, he relied too much on Mjolnir's power and relaxed his training. Now he finally knew where the problem lay.
"When you can possess your current strength without relying on Mjolnir, then you can be considered to have truly entered the door." Odin said meaningfully.
At the same time, on Earth, the people of S.H.I.E.L.D. and Tony Stark couldn't help but look at each other, a little perplexed. After a moment, Hawkeye Barton said, "We just said before that we might not see Ragnarok in our lifetime, but now it seems it might happen in a few years. Odin will die in a few years, and then comes Ragnarok, and Asgard will be annihilated…"
Everyone was silent, but their hearts were equally shocked, especially for Nick Fury and Tony Stark. They were very wary of the Aesir before. Although the scene of Loki invading Earth with an army was short, it was deeply imprinted in their hearts.
But now, everything was finally better. They knew that the Aesir might be destroyed in a few years, and the huge weight in their hearts was finally lifted.
"Jarvis, how is Ragnarok described in the myths?" Tony Stark asked.
Jarvis quickly displayed the information about Asgard's Ragnarok that he could find for everyone to see.
"The process is very complicated, but in general, it's the end of the gods' reign. Many giants, including the Fire Giants and Frost Giants, began to rebel against the gods. Loki, who was imprisoned, also escaped and brought his children to Asgard for revenge. In the end, it was a world-shattering battle. Only a very few gods and humans survived after the war and rebuilt a new order..." Black Widow Natasha finished reading and summarized. "Tony, what are you trying to say..."
Tony Stark paused, then said, "This final outcome, where only a very few gods and humans survived and rebuilt a new order, is very similar to Lin Feng's diary, which mentioned that Asgard was wiped out and Thor ascended the throne in a fishing village in Northern Europe. Although they are not completely the same, there is one thing that is similar: Asgard is doomed to fall. And in the story, the various giants we've already seen, the Frost Giants, Loki's relationship with Odin and his family is different from the myth, but that's not the point. The point is, if the myth is a reflection of some facts, combined with what Lin Feng mentioned in his diary, the gods of Asgard would have won a pyrrhic victory at best. They will no longer be capable of ruling the Nine Realms. Then there's a question: will the giants mentioned in the myth, such as the Frost Giants, Fire Giants, Dark Elves, or other races of the Nine Realms, want to rule Earth? At that time, what we might have to face will not be the army of Asgard."
"I don't know why Odin didn't choose to rule Earth back then and let Earth off the hook, but undoubtedly, this was the best outcome for Earth. If the ruler of the Nine Realms changes, it might not be so merciful. In other words, the Ragnarok of Asgard, the changing of the guard in the Nine Realms, may not be a good thing for us."
Tony Stark finished his analysis, and everyone gasped.
Before, they almost regarded Asgard as a potential enemy, but if they changed the ruler, it might be far more brutal than the rule of Asgard.
Although the exact reasons are unknown, it is known that Odin is satisfied with the current scope and mode of rule. The next ruler of the Nine Realms is unknown. If they were to invade like the American pioneers invaded North America, then humanity would be finished.
Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines. If that were the case, Earth was truly in peril.
"If that's the case, we can only fight to the death!" Hawkeye Barton said, resigned.
