Chapter 1111 - The End of Asgard (1/2)

The column that Lily found looked like some kind of remote surveillance equipment. The holographic images floating around it showed the photos of some areas outside the Garden of Asgard. Though Hao Ren could not determine its specific location, the iconic landscape on some of these images was what he had seen when he flew over Asgard. These areas were all located on the edge of Asgard.
In the hologram, five or six figures were moving on the scorched earth. They neither belonged to Asgard nor Vanir. These people were wearing bloated and cumbersome leather clothes and carrying various unknown gear. They were not so much the surviving ancient gods, but more like wandering warriors. These men and women were moving in the wasteland, as if unaware that they were being monitored. Like scavengers, they rummaged in the battlefield for relics excitedly and yet cautiously.
It was hard to tell the time of the footage, but judging from the battlefield situation, it probably was right after the end of the Twilight of the Gods battle. The magic fire on the wasteland had been extinguished, and the tearing in the sky caused by the light cannon of the demon hunters had healed. Those who appeared in the footage were obviously survivors of the Twilight of the Gods.
Hao Ren immediately turned to ask the Valkyrie, “Is this real-time surveillance footage?”
The Valkyrie curled up on the chair like a cub in a defensive posture. “Real-time surveillance?”
Vivian repeated it. “I just want to ask when these footages were taken. Is it real-time footage?”
“No.” The Valkyrie glanced at Vivian in fear. It seemed she had finally recovered her memory as she began to remember the ancient vampire who was once a guest in the Garden of Asgard more than 2,000 years ago. It might also be shocked by Vivian’s ‘electric therapy’ earlier. “This was… thousands of days ago, or even much earlier… I don’t know, I just guard Valhalla, I don’t know the situation on the outside. I don’t know…”
“What happened on the plains of Vigrid had caused a psychological trauma in her. She didn’t dare to look at the situation outside the Valhalla Palace,” Nangong Sanba said in a whisper. “A typical self-protective hypnosis.”
“It seems that these were recorded much earlier.” Hao Ren nodded after hearing the reply of the Valkyrie. “After all, when we flew over Asgard, we didn’t detect any signs of human activities on the surface.”
“Can you tell where the surveillance footage comes from?” Galazur turned to look at Anthony Alfonso.
“I think I know where it is,” Vivian interjected. “This Valkyrie had just mentioned the lower bound and Rainbow Bridge, which should be on the southeast of Vigrid Plain. I know that place. And if we want to go to other dimensions, we will definitely have to pass through that place.”
Noticing the curious look on the faces of Anthony Alfonso and Galazur, she further explained, “The Nine Kingdoms are connected by the branches of Yggdrasil, and the weak links of the various dimensional barriers are naturally those branches. The gods of Asgard have built an accelerator called the Rainbow Bridge in the largest branch, enabling people to cross the barriers between the Nine Kingdoms safely and stably. The Twilight of the Gods battle destroyed the Rainbow Bridge, but those remaining passages should still be passable. At least they still allow us to pass through. If Odin is really not in Asgard, then we could only check the other dimensions. Other dimensions might be different from what we think and having more survivors.”
“Let’s go and check out the Rainbow Bridge.” Hao Ren nodded immediately but hesitated when he glanced at the Valkyrie. “The question is what we should do about her. Just let her stay here?”
The mad Valkyrie had heard their voices and looked up. Her murky eyes were full of suspicion as if she knew something would fall upon her. She felt uneasy.
“Are you leaving with us?” Vivian smiled and asked kindly.
The Valkyrie thought for a moment before shaking her head frantically. “No! I want to guard the palace with my sisters! We should not allow any breach to appear here!”
“Leave her alone. After all, she has been here for more than two thousand years.” Hao Ren said. “Let’s only deal with her when we come back.”
No one objected. They checked the other surveillance equipment in the central control room and found no traces of Odin, and they left Valhalla.
As they left, the mad Valkyrie followed them to the palace entrance. She spent most of her time staring dead at Hao Ren and rarely responded to questions with rationally. Until they stepped out of the door, the Valkyrie asked nervously, “Will you return the spear to Holy Father?”
