"The great son of Odin, Thor Odinson!"
"Roaring into the sky, spears clanging, shields thundering, arrows raining down, the battle is imminent!"
"Use the sharp sword to tear open the wound and stab the enemy who does not know his own strength!"
"A mere dirty dark elf will dye the hands of my king!"
"He is brave and fearless. He cleanly beheaded the enemy."
"It is the Thunder God Hammer that will lead our warriors to victory!"
"The blood stained Raven, follow the berserker and witness our supreme glory!"
The bold and unconstrained Asgardian warriors sang the ancient song of the Raven.
Under the gaze of Great God Odin, they would ride the huge warship made of oak and drive towards the bloody and fierce battlefield.
And the only destination they were begging for was the Hall of Heroic Spirits that the warriors could go to.
From afar, tens of thousands of troops were walking in an orderly manner, emitting a deafening sound like thunder in the sky. The fiery battle intent soared into the sky, and flags fluttered in the howling wind, disappearing from the near and distant mountains of Asgarda.
The half-black and half-gold flag fluttered in the wind, with the totem of a goat and a raven on it.
The Raven was the symbol of Odin, and the goat was the symbol of Thor.
In the war between the kings and Princes of the past generations, they would engrave their totems on the flag. Although God Odin had returned to the Hall of Heroic Spirits, Thor was still very stubborn. He drew the symbol of his father on the flag.
At this moment, he was the king and also the Prince.
He was not only responsible for the hatred of blood relatives, but also to wash away the shame and hatred of being invaded by the dark elves.
In front of the tunnel in the mountain range, Thor suddenly stopped, and then looked back at Asgarda.
This glance was filled with many thoughts.
He seemed to want to deeply engrave everything in his heart.
There was a straight distance of several thousand kilometers from the Immortal Palace. Although he could not see the figure of the man clearly, Thor had a special feeling that it seemed to collide with the man's gaze from a distance.
"Asgarda. I'm counting on you!"
Thor seemed to be talking to himself.
However, it also seemed as if he was entrusting something to someone.
Meanwhile, the Immortal Palace thousands of kilometers away was just like the place where Odin had sent him off.
Lod stared at Thor's direction, and said calmly and indifferently: "Since I promised Odin, I will definitely protect Asgard."
A moment later.
Thor seemed to have heard the reply, so he resolutely turned around and stepped into the spatial tunnel in the mountain range.
There was no hesitation or fear on the faces of the tens of thousands of elite troops of Asgard. They followed their king into the spatial tunnel.
The current Asgarda did not have any defensive capabilities.
In order to completely flatten the Dark Elves and destroy Malekith's conspiracy plan, Thor dispatched almost all of his troops. Any adult male who could still move basically joined the battle against the Dark World.
Even when Odin fought against the nine worlds, he had never used such a huge army.
The strength of the mainland had reached the level of the prehistoric Void hollow. If Lod hadn't been guarding this place, then a random army of a hundred people would be able to easily sweep through all of Asgarda.
"I really don't know if I should praise him for being a simple and honest person or say that this guy has a screw loose in his brain." Lod looked at the Asgardian army that had all left and could not help but sigh in his heart.
As the king of a country, Thor actually threw the country to other people and went out to fight with his army.
Basically, anyone with a little bit of brain and political thinking would never do such a shocking thing. However, Thor was just a little sure that he had entrusted the entire country to a person who was not masked.
And the reason why he did this was because Odin was willing to believe in this person.
The word trust was simple to say, but if it was done, it would undoubtedly stump countless people.
Whether it was the one who paid the trust, or the one who was entrusted the trust, they were all people worthy of respect.
Compared to the scheming Odin, Lod obviously liked Thor more. Although this guy always acted rashly and rude, from a friend's point of view, there was no doubt that he was worthy to be entrusted with.
The simplest question, are you willing to be friends with Thor, or are you willing to be friends with S. H. I. E. L. D.?
The answer was obvious, and it must be Thor.
At least Thor would not sell his friends for benefits, but S. H. I. E. L. D. might sell you off that day. At that time, he would lie to you to count the money for him.
Therefore, Lod was willing to help Thor. In addition to the benefits that Odin gave him, he valued his temperament to a large extent.
"Isn't ten tons a bit short..."
Lod took out his hand that was inserted in the spacious sleeve and sneered, "If I had known earlier, I should have asked Thor more about the uru metal. Otherwise, I would have let down your worth. Am I right, Mr. Sorcerer Supreme?"
"Mr. Lod, you..."
When they heard Lod's words, the beautiful faces of the two palace maids next to him were filled with shock.
Then, he turned his gaze slightly and looked at the shadow in the corner of the palace.
The dark shadow that was originally completely normal suddenly moved like a living creature the moment he finished speaking, and it emitted a horrifying cold aura. A pair of scarlet eyes that were like blood that revealed ruthlessness looked at him indifferently.
The two palace maids were scared silly. They stood rooted to the ground and did not dare to move.
Although they were not the ones who were staring at them, the cold and trembling that invaded their bones stimulated the most primitive fear in their hearts.
"This shadow is a little familiar."
Lod tilted his head and grinned. "If I remember correctly, have we seen each other more than a hundred years ago?"
The shadow did not answer his question. It continued to extend slowly like a living creature.
The invisible object hidden in the shadow kept making sounds of chewing. The surrounding space was like a sawtooth edge. The ground and everything that was touched by the shadow were inexplicably gnawed away.
"Mr. Lod, please leave this place immediately!"
The two palace maids shouted loudly and let the distinguished guest leave.
With their status in the Immortal Palace, they were not qualified to know about Lod.
The two weak palace maids were in fear. Even their hands holding the sword were trembling. Their teeth were chattering and their eyes were shaking violently. Even if they wanted to turn around and run away immediately, they still faithfully followed their orders. They were given the duty of protecting the distinguished guests.
"Well, thank you for protecting me."
Lod smiled and took a step forward, blocking the two palace maids behind him. He said lightly, "This is the second time we meet, right? Are you planning to hide in the shadows all the time?"
Click click click click...
The speed at which the shadows spread suddenly increased. In the blink of an eye, it covered most of the room.
The terrifying cold aura swept out like a rising tide. The space was showing signs of being eaten. The invisible object in the shadow let out a sharp cry. It was like a huge black curtain that swallowed the light, heading towards where Lod was.
"There is a saying, have you heard of it?"
Lod looked at the dark shadow coming towards him. Not only did he not panic at all, he instead revealed a playful smile. "The same move can only be used once against Saint Seiya. Although I am not Saint Seiya, it is almost the same."
He smiled and took a step forward, surrounded by a faint black fog.
The color of the faint fog could not be described with words. The thick black fog was full of ominous and dead silence, as if it was the opposite of everything in the world, the end of life and time, the supreme law in the universe that could not be resisted.
Hu ---
There was no huge movement, not even the slightest change.
The shadow that hid something invisible disappeared instantly like the spring sun melting into snow the moment it touched the black fog. It did not swallow or disappear, but returned to death forever in a breath.
The earth was decaying, and hollow was dissolving.
All tangible and intangible things calmly returned to death wherever the black fog passed.
