3 Chapter 3. Odin: The End of Asgard?

"How could ..."

Thor's face looked shocked, and his expression completely froze. For a moment, he couldn't believe what he was seeing.

He saw himself on screen, not only flustered but also without Mjolnir.

More importantly, that 'Thor' was actually wearing an eye patch, like a cyclops!

'Where's my hammer and my eye?'

"!!!"

Odin's one eye opened wide, and his pupil violently contracted.

He couldn't figure out what kind of disaster it would take for Thor and Loki to escape with their people aboard a spaceship.

More importantly, where was he, Odin?

At the thought of this, Odin's expression drastically changed; a ray of unspeakable horror that couldn't be contained surged to his heart!

Didn't it mean that ...in this, unknown how far, future, he had died?

And after his own death, Asgard also perished for unknown reasons!

That's why his son Thor took the rest of his people in a lifeboat and fled across the universe!

But in the end, they ... still met with extinction!

At that thought, Odin's forehead couldn't help but break out in cold sweat.

'Asgard may soon perish!'

He could imagine what kind of shocking waves would set off once this matter got out, and the Nine Realms, including Jotunheim, would be boiling over!

And hostile races such as the Frost Giants may all be ready to move!

The more he thought about it, the more alarmed he felt. Odin's right hand, which was clenched in a fist, began to tremble slightly.

Seeing this, Frigga leaned down and whispered in Odin's ear.

"Your Majesty, even if the future on-screen is true, we already know it in advance and have a chance to change it!"

"Hmm."

Hearing his wife's voice, Odin calmed down a little and slightly nodded.

Just then, Thor's roar rang through the hall.

"Who is this Thanos? Dare to harm my people! He's a dead man!!!"

The veins on Thor's head popped out. He looked at Odin and said:

"Father, please let me lead an army out into the universe to find that damn Thanos and beat his brains out!"

Looking at the furious Thor, Odin frowned:

"You're only thinking from the standpoint of a warrior right now. Not considering the other possibilities at all."

For Odin, although the threat from Thanos was enormous, he still needed to find out why Asgard would perish.

And how he died!

Maybe ... there was an unknown enemy lurking in the shadows?

"What other possibilities?"

Thor waved his hammer angrily.

"How dare this purple bastard offend our Asgard. I, as the King ..."

Hearing this, Odin finally succumbed to the anger in the heart and sternly shouted:

"You are not the King yet!"

Under Odin's loud shout, the entire hall instantly fell into silence. Even Thor froze in place, unable to say anything.

...

At this moment, the live chat group was extremely lively.

[Tony Stark: Thor! Loki! Are you really the Gods of Norse mythology? But that's a spaceship on screen! How can there be a god in a spaceship?]

[Loki Odinson: Mortal! Be quiet. Who says that gods couldn't travel in spaceships? Don't speculate about us with your tiny minds.]

[Tony Stark: Ha, don't act tough. I think that Master Mordo is right. You're just a group of aliens.]

[Tony Stark: But ... who's that Thanos, and his oddly shaped crew? Are they some kind of space pirates?]

[Thor: Humph, you don't need to know. Anyway, I'm going to kill Thanos soon anyway!]

[Master Mordo: Haha, good luck.]

[Peter Parker: The legendary gods! Could it be ... are all this stuff real?]

[Loki Odinson: What do you mean by stuff? You should kneel down when facing the gods.]

At this time, there were new changes on the screen.

[Thanos grabbed Thor's head with one hand and spoke to Loki in front of him.

"The tesseract… or your brother's head?"]

'Tesseract?'

Odin's mind was reeling.

A thousand years ago, the Frost Giants invaded Midgard, landed in Tonsberg, Norway, and tried to plunge the Earth into an ice age with The Casket of Ancient Winters.

Odin led his army to Earth and defeated the Frost Giants in a fierce battle.

It was also because of this battle... The Tesseract was stranded on Earth, missing.

But listening to Thanos on screen, it seemed that the Tesseract was back in the hands of the Asgardians.

At the same time, Odin also recognized the glove worn by Thanos and the purple gem shining on it.

It was none other than the Infinity Gauntlet and the Power Stone.

Odin was no stranger to the Infinity Gauntlet.

Years ago, he ordered the dwarves of Nidavellir, one of the Nine Realms, to forge a pair of Infinity Gauntlets for him.

This Infinity Gauntlet, worn on the right hand, was currently stored in Odin's Vault, guarded by the terrifying 'Destroyer'.

However, Odin really didn't expect that Thanos could actually create another Infinity Gauntlet.

And get an infinity stone and set it in the gauntlet!

"No wonder he wants the Tesseract."

Odin frowned and muttered something in a low voice.

As the King of the Nine Realms... He certainly knew how powerful the Infinity Gauntlet with its collection of six stones was.

Enough to shake the whole universe!

And in the Tesseract, it just so happened that the Space Stone of the six stones was sealed!

But at the moment, Odin's mind was more concerned about something other than the Tesseract.

Faced with the threat of Thanos, what choice would Loki make in the video?

The video continued.

[Loki raised his hand and in his palm, a blue cube slowly appeared.

Thanos smiled, "Your optimism is misplaced, Asgardian."

"Well, for one thing, I am not an Asgardian," Loki interrupted Thanos, "And for another… we have the Hulk!"

UUAAH~~~]

Upon hearing this, there was an uproar in Asgard's great hall.

Even the corner of Odin's eye involuntarily twitched.

Looking at the screen, Loki pursed his lips.

At that moment, the video on-screen suddenly stopped.

Then, the cold voice of the system rang.

[End of the current video.]

[The Quiz begins!]
