chapter 0289 part 2
Gabriel looked fearfully at the phantom leaning on a long spear. Odin, in the mythological pantheon, was an existence no less than the Lord.
King Odin's divine power was far beyond what he could compare to. This was also the reason Gabriel had been standing in front of Heaven's Gate. If King Odin truly personally joined the battlefield, then he would retreat into Heaven's Gate without a second thought. And above Asgard's Rainbow Bridge / Bifrost, aside from using Gungnir to summon the phantom of Yggdrasil, King Odin showed no intention of personally participating in the battle.
In Norse Mythology, King Odin ruled the Nine Realms, but in reality, Asgard did not completely rule the Nine Realms; it was considered the suzerain state of the other eight worlds.
Just like the Great Ming and Goryeo back then, or the Great Tang and Japan, aside from Earth, this special world, the other seven worlds were not exactly subservient to Asgard, and even launched rebellions every so often.
Just like the Dark Elves, the Giants of Jotunheim, and the Fire Demons of Muspelheim. In the original Marvel plot, the former two caused no small amount of trouble for Asgard. As for the latter, Surtur, the Lord of Muspelheim, even personally destroyed Asgard.
However, most of these matters occurred after Odin fell into Ragnarök.
In the current Nine Realms, after Odin issued the conscription order, even the unruly Frost Giants and Fire Demons had no choice but to send troops to participate in the battle.
To avoid leaving the dying Odin an excuse for conquest.
It's just that each of their forces numbered at most several hundred thousand, some as few as tens of thousands. Even if all added together, compared to the tens of millions of Angelic Legion, it also seemed like a drop in the bucket.
In the Hidden Void, the enormous three-headed dragon King Ghidorah hovered in mid-air. Its enormous heads were covered in countless scales.
Each scale was half a meter in area.
The scales were covered in runes like flowing fire, and sharp barbs were also distributed on them.
Tang Song stood on the middle of the three dragon heads, overlooking this erupted great battle between the Heaven Divine Pantheon and the Asgard Divine Pantheon.
Relying on their immense numbers, the Angelic Legion completely disregarded casualties, quickly piling up human lives to reach Yggdrasil. Tang Song watched a familiar figure wielding Mjolnir, leading hundreds of thousands of Asgard and Vanir troops to block in front of the ranged attacking Light Elves and Dwarves.
On the other side, the Frost Giants and Fire Demons, also under the leadership of their respective leaders, engaged in melee with the angels of the Angelic Legion, fighting in close combat.
"Asgard's military is indeed good. I thought you Aesir wouldn't fight anymore ever since you put away your weapons and let your horses graze?"
Tang Song slightly tilted his head. On another of Ghidorah's dragon heads, a white-robed old man had appeared at some unknown time.
"Tang, this is trouble you Earthlings provoked! But now you're making us Asgard bear it!?"
Odin's single eye scrutinized Tang Song, somewhat not understanding his intention in provoking the Heaven Dimension.
"What exactly is your purpose?"
Tang Song looked at Odin and asked a question: "How much time do you and the Ancient One have left?"
Odin was silent for a moment: "According to your Midgardian saying, I have one of your standard years left before falling into eternal slumber!"
Tang Song clasped his hands together and tapped them: "Then Master Ancient One's time is also about the same. Once the Nine Realms lose you two Guardians, the situation won't be good. Not to mention anything else, once you enter Ragnarök, do you think Thor and these Asgardian Soldiers can keep these guys in check?"
Odin followed Tang Song's gaze, looking at the fighting Frost Giants, Fire Demons, and even the Vanir, who have a good relationship with Asgard.
Odin sighed inwardly. He knew this human before him was right. Once he enters Ragnarök, Asgard's decline is inevitable.
This Heaven Dimension invasion, his issuing of the Nine Realms conscription order, wasn't without the intention of using the Angelic Legion to eliminate dissidents and weaken the strength of the various realms.
If the strength of the other several worlds in the Nine Realms suffers losses in this war, then after he is gone, Thor might be able to stabilize the current situation of the Nine Realms.
But whether it's Laufey of the Frost Giants or Surtur, how could they be easy to deal with? Judging from the manpower of the Military they sent, they are clearly deliberately preserving their strength.
Like a viper lurking in a hole, waiting for the day Asgard becomes weak.
"So?" King Odin looked at Tang Song questioningly.
"We'll just talk here?" Tang Song retorted.
"In ancient Earth, there was a monarch. Before his son ascended the throne, fearing his son couldn't rule the vast territory, he cleared the thorns that would hinder his son's rule in advance!"
Inside Asgard's Golden Palace, Tang Song held a golden cup and spoke eloquently to Odin!
"Since Your Majesty is about to enter Ragnarök in one year, why not pave the way for Thor in advance!?"
King Odin looked at Tang Song, somewhat understanding Tang Song's intention: "You want me and the Ancient One to help you sweep away the hidden dangers threatening the Nine Realms before I enter Ragnarök!"
"No, Your Majesty is protecting Asgard, protecting the Nine Realms. Mephisto is already dead, Lucifer, who coveted Earth, suffered severe injury and won't recover for several hundred years, posing no threat to Earth and Asgard. Who else is left? Dormammu, or those Hell Lords? I have a method, they temporarily cannot pose a threat!
Oh right, there's also Heaven! We join forces, and give them a..."
Odin's single eye stared at Tang Song, silent for a long time. "Human, I now somewhat doubt the Ancient One's judgment. You are a terrifying fellow. I don't even know now if it was right or wrong to indulge you by listening to the Ancient One back then—"
"I saved your queen, and in the future, I will also save Asgard, so it can avoid Ragnarök!" Tang Song toyed with the golden cup in his hand, meeting Odin's gaze without showing any weakness.
"Without me, how good can Asgard's ending be? The entirety of Asgard will turn to dust, the Aesir will self-merge and perish with Earth."
"One condition," Odin shook his head: "I need a guarantee, a guarantee for Asgard's safety!"
"What kind of guarantee does Your Majesty want?" Tang Song asked.
"In Asgard, there is an Army of the Dead, invincible in battle! I want to leave them to Thor, to protect the safety of the Nine Realms!"
Tang Song put down the golden cup in his hand, looking at Odin playfully: "You plan to release Hela!? Is Your Majesty not afraid of the prophecy of falling into Ragnarök!"
Hela's strength is definitely Skyfather level. But after releasing her, it's hard to say who this blade will cut towards.
If it were him, being imprisoned for several thousand years, after he came out, if he didn't kill until blood flowed like a river, he wouldn't be worthy of his surname.
Odin glanced at Tang Song, and slowly nodded.
"After I enter Ragnarök, the seal sealing Hela won't last much longer. I heard the Ancient One say, the Mind Stone is in your hands!"
Tang Song's gaze towards Odin narrowed. This is asking him to use the power of the Mind Stone to control Hela. Confirmed with a look, this is a ruthless person.
