Chapter 185 (1/2)
Tensberg, Norway, 965 A.D.
The north wind blew from the extremely cold place and frozen the earth into a wasteland. No one thought that the invaders were so caught off guard. The invaders from Jordan Heim brought war to the land without warning.
Odin got the news that it was after the fall of tengsberg city that he hurried to the rainbow bridge to know that the ice giant had invaded Midgard. He brought the artifacts inherited by the frost giants to the atrium, turning it into a wasteland ravaged by ice and snow. Even though Heim, who guarded the rainbow bridge, informed him in time, he still came a step late.
”The balance of the nine realms is inviolable!” Odin suddenly made up his mind. ”Order the soldiers to assemble. From now on, after 19 breaths, we set out to support Midgard!”
Because of Odin's order, the whole Asgard was awed by it. The fighting spirit of Asgard men climbed to a peak that had never been seen in recent years. This race, which fought hard in the daytime, drank and entertained at night, has unparalleled strong combat power in the world.
”Lao Fei's ambition has exceeded his ability. I can tolerate his provocation, but I can never tolerate his violation of the ancient agreement of the nine realms, which has broken the bottom line. It has been too long, too long, so long that they have forgotten the nightmare of our ancestors and the oath of the nine realms: respect the promised land and never occupy territory.”
Odin's Scepter fell heavily on the rainbow bridge, and the brilliant light flowed across the bridge. He looked at Heim and said, ”our ancestors told us that the rainbow bridge is the lifeblood of Asgard. Heim, the guard of my loyal minister, I want you to stick here. The honor of victory and the fast battle have nothing to do with you. Have you ever been disappointed?”
”My king, your command is my will!” Haim bowed.
”Good, Heim!” Odin nodded. ”Remember, be alert to the traces of the four knights. The Apocalypse is coming, and the prophecy of the gods at dusk is something that every generation of rainbow bridge guards must believe from the bottom of their heart. Raufi doesn't believe this prophecy, but I still clearly remember the nightmare that our ancestors saved in the spring of wuerde.”
Odin looked at the brilliant rainbow bridge under his feet and sighed: ”our ancestors created the rainbow bridge to monitor the security of the universe. Together with the nine realms, they created many artifacts as weapons to resist the coming of the apocalypse. But apart from us Asgard, several other realms have forgotten their mission and our enemies of destiny.”
”War, plague, famine, and death...”
”My king, our ancestors can repel them again and again, and we can do it.” Heim firmly said. He trusted his king and Asgard's tenacity and strength without doubt.
Odin shook his head and sighed, ”different, different! According to the prediction, the twilight of the gods is coming in our generation, the darkness of the nine worlds is near, and the powerful evil force will eventually envelop the tree of the world. The Apocalypse is coming... I doubt that the terrible existence behind the Apocalypse will come back to this world...”
Hearing Odin's words, Heim's firm eyes wavered: ”is... Is it the creator?”
”Yes! The Apocalypse is his eldest son, and we are just his creation sprinkled with earth. Mead's innocent mortals believe that he will give them their young children and wash their original sin with blood, but we all know that he branded the shame on our bodies and despised us.”
Vaguely, Odin remembered what the Apocalypse said to the Asgard gods: ”no... don't get me wrong, I'm not aiming at God. I mean all the trees in the world, elves! Dwarves! Giants! Humans!... all monkeys.”
We used to be monkeys, but that doesn't mean we will always be... Creator! I will use the glory of Asgard's life to make you admit that we are the noble God who inherits your will.
