[500 PS REACHED!!! Next Goal: 1000PS!!]
Odin furrowed his brow.
Such a phenomenon had never appeared in Asgard, not even in the future visions he had foreseen. He couldn't be sure if this was related to Ragnarok or how it might impact it.
Moreover, he had a strange feeling that the light contained traces of the divine power unique to the Asgardian gods.
Odin was both puzzled and suspicious.
At this moment, it wasn't just the two of them; many Asgardians, including Queen Frigga, also saw the extraordinary scene in the sky and looked up in astonishment.
"What is this?"
"So warm, it fills my heart with joy…"
The Asgardians were all taken aback, amazed by this sudden phenomenon.
In the distance, at the entrance of a palace, Queen Frigga, with her golden hair and elegant attire exuding grace and nobility, reached out her hand to catch the light.
She couldn't explain it, but a woman's intuition told her that this light was somehow related to her, and the connection felt very intimate, leaving her puzzled.
Driven by her intuition, Frigga walked towards where Odin was, determined to find out what was happening.
Soon, the Asgardians, including Thor, were even more shocked.
Upon investigating, they learned that this phenomenon wasn't limited to Asgard. It had also appeared in Jotunheim, Midgard (Earth), Niflheim, and all the other Nine Realms!
At the former site of the Bifrost.
Heimdall, clad in golden armor, stood with his hands resting on the hilt of his golden sword, his golden eyes quietly observing the Nine Realms.
"Heimdall, what's going on? Have you found the cause of this phenomenon?" Thor strode over, puzzled, and questioned Heimdall.
Heimdall's golden eyes turned towards Thor, his deep voice resonating, "I'm not sure. I haven't seen what caused all this, but I suggest you take a trip to Midgard."
"Why do you say that?" Thor scratched his head, a bit frustrated by Heimdall's cryptic words.
Fortunately, Heimdall continued, "The phenomenon first appeared in Midgard before spreading to the other realms. This event is likely related to Midgard. You should investigate there."
Thor, understanding now, still found it strange that Heimdall couldn't see what had caused this.
He asked, and Heimdall glanced at him, "Thor, I am not an all-seeing god. I can't observe everything."
Though he said this, the truth was that due to the Bifrost's destruction, he had been focusing on potential uprisings from the Frost Giants and Dark Elves, leaving him little time to monitor Midgard closely.
Midgard had always been peaceful, with no capability to threaten Asgard, so it wasn't usually worth much attention, only getting occasional checks.
Because of this, he hadn't noticed the initial cause of this phenomenon.
Thor felt a bit embarrassed.
Still, after Heimdall's suggestion, he seriously considered another trip to Midgard.
Images of the mysterious figure in white, who possessed divine power, came to his mind.
Last time, he hadn't figured out why that person had divine power. This time, he might get an answer.
There was one problem, though.
"But Heimdall, the Bifrost is destroyed. How do I get to Midgard?" Thor looked confused.
"Don't worry, I have other means to send you to Midgard…" Heimdall replied calmly.
While they conversed, on Earth, the phenomenon was almost over, and Syd was noticing the strange event caused by himself.
He was astonished.
What was going on?
"Could this be related to Balder being the personification of light?"
"Is that why awakening the Divine Power of Light caused this phenomenon?"
Syd recalled some information about Balder, the Norse god of light.
In Norse mythology, Balder was born with the divine power of light.
His awakening was similar to the birth of the god of light.
The birth of a god would surely be accompanied by some phenomena, especially for the god of light.
At this moment, Venom, now back in Syd's right hand, was filled with shock and confusion, communicating with him through their mental link.
"Hey, Syd, what just happened?"
"You glowing is one thing, but why was the sky glowing too?"
"And my emotions seem off…" Venom explained its recent experiences.
As Venom spoke, Syd understood more about what had happened. Besides the glowing sky, everyone touched by the light had their emotions affected, becoming peaceful and joyous.
As to why this happened, Syd only needed a moment to figure it out.
Balder, the Norse god of light, was the child of Odin and Frigga, considered the personification of light. In mythology, he was adored by all, and his presence allowed all beings to bask in light.
He symbolized the sun, representing goodness and joy.
So he was also the god of joy…
"That's likely why being illuminated by this light made Venom feel peaceful and joyous," Syd mused, stroking his chin.
Aside from this possibility, he couldn't think of another explanation.
Thinking further, Syd recalled some things.
Balder's death symbolized the end of light and the triumph of darkness.
Even the sun's light and warmth would fade…
In traditional mythology, the beginning of Ragnarok was closely tied to this.
The death of Balder marked the turning point where the forces of good began to wane…
Considering this, Syd suddenly thought of a new question.
"If 50% unlocking caused this phenomenon, what would 100% do?"
Syd wasn't sure what would happen then.
With that thought, he started to explore the effects of the Divine Power of Light, or the newly transformed light energy.
