Chapter 441: Negotiation, Coercion
In the Asgardian Golden Palace, as King Odin raised Gungnir, a translucent green light began to flicker in the starry sky. It was the concept of Yggdrasil gradually manifesting throughout the Solar System.
Earthlings looking up at this moment would be astonished to find a constellation resembling a giant tree appearing in the starry sky at some unknown time. Even in broad daylight, the dazzling starlight emanating from this great tree was visible.
Under the night sky, the Moon shone with exceptional brilliance, like a fruit adorning the green canopy of Yggdrasil! Outside the Solar System, after Superman flew through a Romulan battleship, letting the spaceship disintegrate under the pressure of space, he abruptly stopped his attack on the Romulans scattering like rabbits. He turned around and looked behind him... Facing that immense Yggdrasil, even this God Among Men had a face full of astonishment at this moment. He looked back at the alien invasion battleships scattered far away, numbering less than a thousand, and after a moment of thought, he turned back and flew towards Earth.
He needed to figure out the reason for this sudden anomaly and whether Earth was currently safe.
"Bruce Wayne, what's the situation on Earth now?"
As Superman flew towards Earth, he contacted Bruce Wayne on Earth via the quantum communicator modified by Tony Stark.
However, judging from his cold tone, Superman was still holding a grudge against Bruce Wayne, the culprit who had caused his death.
Earth, New York City, in a street alley near the United Nations Headquarters Building, inside a bookstore selling comic merchandise and magazines.
Bruce Wayne, in a sharp suit, was flipping through the latest issue of DC Comics in his hand while answering Superman's question through a wireless earphone.
"Plan A failed, the enemy's numbers exceeded our imagination. Plan B worked, Thor and Diana's trip to Asgard seems to have gone smoothly. That giant tree you saw should be Yggdrasil from Norse mythology!"
"Plan failed! How is that possible? The enemy has been routed by me! They're collapsing and fleeing!" Superman questioned.
"You only intercepted a small fleet of the enemy; they bypassed you!" Bruce Wayne looked at the sky outside the store under the gaze of the fat store owner who looked at him like he was crazy. "Clark, the enemy's numerical superiority far exceeds our imagination!"
The enemy's numbers indeed exceeded their imagination. Clark, who was flying at sub-light speed, suddenly stopped, staring blankly at the steel torrent before him.
Outside the Solar System, countless battleships were neatly arranged in the dark starry sky, like asteroids that had been floating in this space for a long time. However, this asteroid belt was simply too vast, so much so that this ring-shaped shadow could be seen with the naked eye from Earth.
A steel torrent composed of millions of alien battleships. As Superman looked at them, he had the illusion that these battleships could even encircle the entire Solar System. In the space in all directions, battleships were still continuously joining this indescribably massive fleet. For a moment, Clark, this God Among Men, experienced a sense of powerlessness once again, following that strange Black and White World.
"Is this your declaration of war, Asgard? Odin!"
On the Sanctuary (ship), Thanos stood in the Great Hall of the spaceship, looking through the viewport at the expanse of green, a sinister smile on his face.
"Target Yggdrasil before us, fire a concentrated volley! Let this aging Deity recognize reality!"
"Yes, Master!"
Millions of battleships, with over a hundred thousand on the front line directly facing the Solar System. At Thanos's command,
A hundred thousand battleships simultaneously activated their attack modes. Various energy cannon fire streaked across the sky like meteors, instantly illuminating space like daylight! These energy attacks, capable of destroying a planet, landed on the massive Yggdrasil. The Rune symbols forming the branches and veins on Yggdrasil emitted a dazzling green light—
Various blue, white, and red energy beams rained down into that misty green light, instantly forming a giant energy explosion that spread in all directions.
The storm unleashed by this exploding energy blast even instantly blew away thousands of battleships closest to it. Yggdrasil's trunk also trembled under such dense energy cannon fire. Before the green light on Yggdrasil's trunk could dissipate, more energy cannon fire targeted the obstructing trunk for another volley! Corvus Glaive thoroughly carried out Thanos's demand; if he said one volley, it was one volley. The energy cannon fire from nearly four million battleships was enough to turn anything daring to obstruct them into ash.
Asgard, Odin stood on the walkway in front of the Golden Palace gate. He looked down at the location of the Rainbow Bridge in the distance, where two bursts of colorful light erupted...
The tall Odin, although dressed in plain clothes, showed no sign of old age.
His thick silver hair, combined with his sharp, one-eyed gaze, made him look like a vigorous old lion watching over his territory.
However, this old lion looked up at the constantly shaking Yggdrasil. Although he didn't want to admit it, he knew he was old after all. Otherwise, how would Thanos have the audacity to step into the Nine Realms?
"Relax, in the future I've seen, we still have hope of winning..."
The Ancient One, dressed in a bright yellow Mage robe, walked out of the Void Space, looking at Odin's back with a serene smile.
Odin turned back and glanced at the Ancient One. His gaze lingered on the Ancient One's gentle face for a moment, and he said with some emotion, "I've always wanted to ask you, what does it feel like to see the future..."
The Ancient One strolled to Odin's side. She leaned relaxed against the railing on the walkway, looking around leisurely. "It was fresh at first, but as time passed, everything around me felt like a novel I'd read countless times. Knowing the ending so early made me feel detached from everything, like no one would miss a piece of chewing gum chewed countless times!"
The Ancient One casually reached into her sleeve, and a piece of chewing gum appeared in her hand. She handed it to Odin.
Odin took the chewing gum from the Ancient One's hand, tore open the wrapper, put the chewing gum in his mouth, and began to chew, as if wanting to know the Sorcerer Supreme's view of the world.
"Do you think that Guest from the Parallel Universe can invite reinforcements?"
"Zeus and the Greek Gods were first defeated by Yahweh, and then we two jointly expelled them from Earth. Most of the Earth Deities in the Pantheon are hostile to us. If the Pantheon were to intervene, the final result might be even worse."
Saying that, the Ancient One looked towards the direction of the Rainbow Bridge in Asgard and said with a smile, "Earth now has a new trump card. Don't worry, we might not lose. In fact, isn't this an opportunity for you Asgard? An opportunity to escape Ragnarok!"
Odin's single eye flashed with sharp light, watching the Ancient One, who was calm and composed, wanting to confirm the truth of her words.
For Odin, who prided himself as the protector of the Nine Realms and the King of the Gods, the approach of Thanos's army was nothing short of humiliation.
Once, Yggdrasil covered the Nine Realms, and the Gods of Asgard were invincible.
If not for that internal strife, which left Asgard with only a tenth of its top combat power, and even Odin's most trusted Einherjar and Valkyrie warriors were almost completely lost during the campaign against Hela.
He himself was also afflicted by the curse of Ragnarok, having to enter a state of slumber periodically to suppress the rampaging divine power within his body. If Asgard had been in its prime, how could Thanos's fleet have dared to come here?
However, Odin was now constrained by the curse of Ragnarok, and he could not abandon the people of Asgard. After all, under the prophecy of the Goddess of Fate, Asgard would ultimately face destruction.
