Frost Giants

Zane had fought almost exclusively as a mage before, so suddenly engaging in close combat naturally made his blood boil.

However, the Frost Giants, almost universally warriors, were extremely fierce.

The Frost Giant that Zane had impaled through the heart grinned wickedly, taking a step forward to allow the spear to penetrate his body completely.

Concentrating all the power of frost in his arms, he launched a direct attack on Zane, intending to perish together with him.

At the same time, the Frost Giants around them showed no concern for the lives of their own kind, conjuring ice spears and hurling them at Zane and the Frost Giant already on the brink of death.

Facing this situation, Zane wore a mocking smile on his face and used [Flash] to instantly move to another Frost Giant's face.

Then, casually drawing a long knife from the treasury, he swiftly beheaded the giant, who looked bewildered by Zane's sudden appearance.

Afterwards, Zane seemed to transform into countless figures, continuously appearing in front of every Frost Giant that survived the onslaught of energy cannons, cutting them in half with his long knife.

When one of the Frost Giants finally managed to grab onto Zane's weapon, Zane switched to a sword and continued to slaughter the remaining Frost Giants.

Gradually, all of Jotunheim became aware of the intruder Zane, and countless Frost Giants rushed barefoot towards his direction.

Simultaneously, thousands of giant beasts, frozen in ice, awakened under the command of Laufey, the Frost Giant King, and charged into battle.

They intended to tear the brazen intruder Zane into pieces.

At this moment, Zane seemed to enter a strange state.

He could seemingly predict the next move of every Frost Giant, feel the sensation of his weapon slicing through the air, and sense the blade piercing the Frost Giants' skin, flesh, and bones.

Every detail was magnified infinitely in Zane's mind.

In this strange state, Zane even dared to close his eyes, relying solely on his intuition to evade countless attacks.

Each of Zane's attacks seemed to follow the trajectory of fate, leaving every Frost Giant facing him with a sense of inevitable doom, ultimately becoming souls under Zane's blade.

As time passed, more and more Frost Giants arrived on the battlefield, and the number of corpses around Zane increased.

Eventually, Zane became so immersed in the thrill of battle that he didn't even bother to teleport anymore, allowing the Frost Giants to pierce him with their ice spears.

Although these ice spears could penetrate Zane's ordinary clothes, they couldn't break through his skin's defense, leaving only small white marks on his body that were quickly healed by Zane's potent regenerative abilities.

Feeling the pain in his body, Zane became even more excited.

The overwhelming Aura of Death emanating from him became even more apparent, complemented by the blue blood splattered on his body and his eyes filled with murderous intent.

At this moment, Zane resembled a Demon Incarnate!

From above, countless Frost Giants converged from all directions towards Zane.

After enduring the onslaught of the energy cannons, all Frost Giants, regardless of their injuries, resolutely charged at Zane and met their end at his hands.

The Frost Giants, with their icy blood, knew nothing of fear. All they knew was that killing the intruder Zane would bring them great honor.

As time passed, the number of corpses under Zane's feet increased, gradually forming a small hill of bodies.

At this moment, Zane seemed to be an unstoppable force, tirelessly turning Frost Giants into corpses one by one...

On the Bifrost, Heimdall had been holding the Sword of Guardianship, keeping his gaze locked on Zane in Jotunheim.

Upon seeing Zane, who appeared like a God of Death, Heimdall for the first time in his life questioned Odin.

Could this monstrous man truly become an ally of Asgard?

In his heart, Heimdall kept asking himself this question, but the answer he arrived at was something only he knew.

Thus, Heimdall silently watched as Zane fought with the Frost Giants.

No, to be more precise, he watched as Zane unilaterally massacred the Frost Giants.

As time passed, instead of slowing down due to exhaustion, Zane's killing speed increased, becoming faster and faster with his growing proficiency in close combat and the continuous boiling of his Power of Death.

In the end, Heimdall only saw one Frost Giant climb onto the hill of corpses, and then witnessed a fleeting flash of sharp cold light.

The Frost Giant's head soared into the sky, and hundreds of such incidents occurred within a second.

Slowly, an entire day passed, and Zane, as if his eyes were bloodshot, showed no signs of stopping.

Just as Heimdall was about to activate the Bifrost to pull back the seemingly berserk Zane, Loki, having just finished tricking his own brother, returned to Asgard.

Seeing Heimdall's conflicted expression, although curious, Loki didn't inquire further.

After all, he knew that although Heimdall was nominally loyal to him, it was only because he was currently the King of Asgard.

In essence, Heimdall looked down on him.

But Loki actually enjoyed this feeling of commanding obedience, even if it meant those under him disdained him.

Yet, at this moment, even the superficial Loki could only sense the benefits of power.

As for the countless hidden crises and mountainous responsibilities behind him, he chose to ignore them completely.

Rather than say he was acting as the King of Asgard, it was more accurate to say he was playing a role-playing game, and the role he played was that of the King of Asgard.

"Heimdall, send me to Jotunheim. I want to have a chat with Laufey, the Frost Giant King." Loki held Gungnir, trying to appear dignified.

However, the word "dignified" seemed to have never been associated with Loki from beginning to end. His current appearance even seemed somewhat ridiculous.

And the most fundamental reason was that Loki lacked confidence. He was accustomed to disguising himself with magic and deceit.

But it seemed that as he piled on more and more masks, he had lost sight of his true self.

They say the highest realm of deception is deceiving oneself. Perhaps Loki's current appearance was the epitome of this statement...

Upon hearing Loki's command, Heimdall's sharp eyes flashed with a hint of hesitation.

He was hesitating whether to play a trick on Loki, but ultimately, his integrity made him abandon such dereliction of duty.

"Your Majesty, it is not advisable for you to go to Jotunheim right now, because..."

Before Heimdall could explain the current situation in Jotunheim, Loki interrupted him.

But Loki's interruption rendered Heimdall's well-intended warning unnecessary.

Although Heimdall was loyal to his duties, he was also a person with his own temper.

So, without hesitation, Heimdall inserted the Sword of Guardianship into the control panel of the Bifrost.
