Chapter 230: Eternal Flame, Visitors from Outside the Space Gate
The Asgardian Golden Palace was resplendent and magnificent. The walls of the opulent palace were covered with murals painted with never-fading magic materials, depicting scenes of the gods of Asgard feasting and reveling in times of peace and prosperity.
The exquisite painting skill made these murals appear lifelike.
A goddess wearing a crown of thorns danced gracefully in a white veil.
Bare-chested warriors wearing horned helmets held large bowls and drank wildly. Handsome male gods played the harp nearby.
The gods gathered happily.
Sitting at the head of the long table, holding a gold cup, Odin, clad in a magnificent robe, watched this scene of peace and revelry with a smile.
In the murals on the wall, Tang Song did not see Thor or Loki.
It seemed to depict events that had once occurred within this very palace.
Unfortunately, Asgard was no longer as prosperous as it once was.
Tang Song toyed with the gold cup in his hand and took a sip of Asgard's wine. He drained the wine in the cup in one gulp, but the crimson liquid in the gold cup refilled itself as if from a spring.
This wine glass came from the God of Forging of the Aesir, the hand of the God of Fire. It was a magic tool that could continuously produce wine, and like the Necklace Rogue received back then, it could be called a divine artifact.
Unfortunately, the gods who could craft such magic tools, like the deities in the murals, have mostly perished in Ragnarök.
The deities of Asgard have much longer lifespans than humans. Normal deities can live up to five thousand years, comparable to the history of a human civilization.
Unfortunately, even the longest lifespans come to an end. When Odin built his kingdom, the Aesir were indeed invincible. The Iron Cavalry swept across the Nine Realms, and the Frost Giants, Dark Elves, and Fire Demons all submitted.
Now, most of the elders who followed Odin in conquering the Nine Realms have entered Ragnarök.
Odin personally imprisoned his capable and warlike eldest daughter, Hela, in Helheim.
The most formidable Valkyrie Corps also perished completely when they fought against Hela.
And the new generation of Asgardian deities, led by Thor, have not truly matured yet. One could say Asgard is currently in a transitional phase.
Yet, from the Ancient One's mouth, Odin had once learned of Asgard's fate.
All gods would face Ragnarök, and Asgard would cease to exist.
As a God King who once unified the Nine Realms, Odin naturally did not want to yield to such a prophecy. He defeated Surtur and seized the divine artifact, the Eternal Flame, from Muspelheim.
Simply because in the prophecy of the Goddess of Fate, this Fire Giant who guarded Muspelheim would become the culprit in Asgard's destruction.
He banished and imprisoned his daughter, Hela, the Goddess of Death. Besides Hela threatening his rule, it was also because in the prophecy of the Goddess of Fate, Hela was a link in the fate of Ragnarök.
Unfortunately, despite doing so much, he seemed unable to change Asgard's fate. As a God King, he watched helplessly as Asgard, following its predetermined trajectory, slid into the abyss of Ragnarök.
He couldn't even save his own queen.
The Ancient One had once told him that in the countless timelines she had seen, if he chose to save Frigga, Hela would seize the opportunity to break through Helheim's seal, and Asgard's Ragnarök would arrive prematurely.
Between preserving his kingdom and his queen, Odin, this formidable figure, chose Asgard.
Until Tang Song appeared and changed everything. He was like an apple thrown onto the Midgard chessboard, disrupting the so-called fate.
The Dark Elves of Svartalfheim didn't even get to invade Asgard via Midgard.
They were intercepted in the Land of the Middle Court by Earthlings using military force on a grand scale. Earthlings even took advantage of the Convergence of the Nine Realms to invade Svartalfheim in return.
Only after personally witnessing Mephisto, that old devil, die at Tang Song's hands, did Odin truly believe what the Ancient One had said: that Tang Song could help him reverse the fate of Asgard's Ragnarök.
This was also the purpose of this banquet.
With gold goblets and wine, Odin seemed slightly tipsy. There were no others accompanying him in the great hall.
After all, in the eyes of the gods of Asgard at this moment, Odin should still be in deep slumber.
In the great hall, which was protected by a magic barrier, there was only one guest.
Tang Song toyed with the gold cup, examining the murals on the surrounding walls. His gaze stopped on the bonfire on the table, which seemed to be used for grilling.
In the golden magic pot, vigorous flames burned fiercely. Tang Song could feel the eternal and ceaseless will within it even without using his divine sense.
No sooner had Tang Song set a trap and killed Mephisto in Svartalfheim than he was invited by Odin to be a guest in Asgard.
"Mephisto has always coveted the Reality Dimension. The Ancient One and I had tried to kill him many times, but unfortunately, his main body is located in the Hell Dimension," After drinking his fill, Odin raised his cup towards Tang Song and laughed heartily:
"Tang, you've solved a big trouble for Midgard and the Nine Realms! This Eternal Flame is my gift to you!"
A gift?! Tang Song's lips curved upwards. If he hadn't known the inside story of Asgard's Ragnarök, he might have actually believed Odin's words.
Just like Asgard, Svartalfheim, and these other worlds, each has its own divine artifact.
The Dark Elf race of Svartalfheim holds the Aether.
The Aesir of Asgard hold the Dragon Jewel, which is the Cosmic Cube.
The power of these two Infinity Stones was self-evident.
The Frost Giants of Jotunheim have the Casket of Ancient Winters. It is said that when the full power of this Casket of Ancient Winters is unleashed, it can freeze an entire planet.
And the Eternal Flame is a treasure no less valuable than the Casket of Ancient Winters. It belongs to the Fire Giants of Muspelheim.
Once their king, Surtur, merges with the Eternal Flame, he will possess the power to destroy a world.
Although he could see that Odin wanted to divert the trouble and use his hand to resolve the prophecy of Asgard's destruction by the Fire Giants,
Tang Song didn't care. Even if trouble truly came knocking, he could just throw the Eternal Flame back to Asgard.
With the ability of the Mind Stone, he could freely enter and exit Asgard by controlling the Space Gem.
"God King, you are too kind. Hell Demons threaten not only Asgard but also our Earth!" Tang Song stroked the vermillion bead bracelet on his left wrist and said politely to Odin.
He had talked with the Ancient One. This Sorcerer Supreme seemed to have no intention of giving up her pursuit of the Eternal Dao. Without the Ancient One's protection, there were over a dozen Evil Gods and devils known to be interested in Earth. This was also the reason Tang Song and the Ancient One cooperated to ruthlessly eliminate Mephisto, this troublemaker.
Of course, the string of beads in his hand was a gift from the Ancient One to Tang Song. The Reality Stone, hidden in a dark space rift at the boundary between Earth and Svartalfheim.
This was also Tang Song's confidence. Of the six Infinity Stones, he held two. No, including the Space Gem, that was three.
Surtur is nothing.
After drinking with Odin, Tang Song didn't stay in Asgard for too long. He took Odin's so-called gift directly back to Earth.
After all, there was still a Hell Lord's corpse in his Five Yin Pouch that he needed to process.
Back on Earth, in his own lair.
Tang Song first checked his magic treasures. This ambush on Mephisto resulted in no small loss.
His four Ghoul White Bone Banners were torn with several large holes by Mephisto's dying counterattack.
