The Divine Concept in Marvel: Hard Work Rewarded by the Gods

The Nine Realms, Asgard.

The fabled realm of the gods, home to the Aesir Protoss.

A realm where magic and technology coexist in mysterious harmony.

Under the rule of the former God-King Bor and the current God-King Odin, Asgard has conquered the dwarf tribe and vanquished the Dark Elves, Warner Protoss, Frost Titan, and Flame Titan, achieving glorious victories for tens of thousands of years.

A thousand years ago, Asgard achieved complete dominance over the Nine Realms, and Odin became the first co-lord of the Nine Realms, earning himself a fierce and famous reputation.

Following their victory, the Aesir Protoss did not continue to expand outward, and the Nine Realms enjoyed a prolonged period of peace.

The Asgard School of Magic is where the story takes us next.

Despite their long history of using magic, the Aesir Protoss are more passionate about hammers, axes, and spears than they are about the mystical arts.

This is evident in the number of students who apply to study magic at the school.

Dozens of students are seated in a spacious classroom, with only one male student among them.

Aaron, the lone male in the class, suddenly understands why Loki appeared out of place and somewhat effeminate compared to Thor and the three warriors of Asgard.

As he observes the female students whispering in small groups, Aaron's mood takes a turn for the worse.

What is it that he hears?

These women had doubts about whether they were cut out for warrior training and had opted to pursue magic instead.

Warrior training was a mandatory military program for all Asgardians, aimed at enhancing their physical strength and combat skills.

Completion of this training was a prerequisite for anyone aspiring to become a respected Asgardian soldier.

Failing the training would result in being relegated to the status of an ordinary, weak person.

Alongside warrior training, the option of practicing magic was also available.

Currently, the entire Asgardian culture was heavily inclined towards primitive hand-to-hand combat.

It was believed that a true Asgardian man ought to hone his skills through warrior training and wield his blade with deadly precision against enemies.

Magic, on the other hand, had been relegated to a mere auxiliary tool, primarily utilized for enchantments.

Typically, only those lacking the necessary qualifications to become warriors resorted to learning magic.

In Asgardian society, both men and women would choose to become warriors over magicians, given the opportunity.

One reason was that mastering magic was a challenging endeavor, and the time spent on developing magical abilities could be used for further warrior training, leading to earlier battlefield deployment.

Another reason was that some magicians had previously unleashed their weird magic in a reckless manner, causing serious harm.

As a result, magicians remained less popular than warriors.

However, this did not deter Aaron from pursuing magic as a means of enhancing his strength.

As a time traveler, he was determined to make the most of every opportunity to improve his abilities.

But the environment he found himself in was daunting.

Aaron considered himself lucky to have become an Asgardian upon arrival in the Marvel universe, with a body density triple that of Earth's inhabitants.

While there was some degree of self-protection power, it was both a blessing and a curse to be an Asgardian.

Asgard was undoubtedly one of the most powerful superpowers in the galaxy, with unmatched splendor.

But Odin's eventual demise would shatter Asgard's illusions of invincibility.

In such an event, Aaron's only concern would be to survive the first round of Hela's massacre, evade the flaming sword of Surtur the Titan, and then navigate his way through the other half of Asgardian refugees released by Thanos before eventually reaching Earth.

But that wouldn't be the end of it.

Even if Aaron managed to escape these trials by chance, he would then have to contend with a 50-50 survival rate in the face of Thanos' snap.

And then there was the God Slayer.

It seemed like being an Asgardian was fraught with too many dangers of death.

If one only passed warrior training, the upper limit of their strength would be no more than that of the three Asgardian warriors who were defeated in seconds by Hela.

Even on other planets, it would be difficult to survive without adequate protection.

If one were to make great contributions and be loyal enough, they might earn Odin's blessing and attain the strength of a former Valkyrie.

Alternatively, they could learn one or two forbidden magic spells, like Heimdall, to barely make it to the next stage.

But such abilities would only last for a moment or two...

For those who wished to lead a fulfilling life, learning magic was one way to improve their survival skills and strength.

Asgard's magic is not weak.

It tends to be technical.

Whether it is used for fighting
