Chapter 684: The Prophecy of the World Tree
Meanwhile, in distant Asgard
Two figures stood on the shore of the divine realm. Under their feet was a roaring waterfall, which plunged into the endless darkness below, where was the abyss of the World Tree.
One of the two men was a black man wearing a golden helmet and golden armor. He had a sturdy build and his eyes were golden, which allowed him to see everything in the world.
"Heimdall, what do you see?"
Just behind Heimdall is a white-haired man with a black eye patch on his right eye and wearing silver armor. There is a crow standing on his shoulder.
This person is none other than the King of Asgard, the Guardian of the Nine Realms, the God King Odin.
"He's back." Heimdall's voice trembled a little, "The snake has revived..."
After hearing the words of the gatekeeper of the Asgard, Odin's face looked a little ugly. His legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Heimdall supported him.
"Your Highness Odin." Heimdall supported Odin and said in a deep voice, "I'm afraid your health is failing."
"I know." Odin nodded. "It is precisely because my power could no longer imprison him that he was able to escape. Thor, where is Thor? Let him come back to see me!"
……
Thor Odinson, the son of Odin, the father of the gods, is the god of thunder in Norse mythology. He is the avenger of the earth and the future king of Asgard.
But our Thor has been a bit busy recently. First of all, there is William's Wallfacer Project. In order to fight against the man sitting on the throne, the Avengers are actively preparing. Thor has also traveled around the universe to investigate clues about Thanos, but that guy is elusive and usually only the Black Order can be seen.
Then there was Odin's warning. Whether it was Ragnarok or the origin of fear, it didn't sound like a good thing. He had asked Odin about it, but Odin had always refused to tell him.
And for some reason he had been having a nightmare these days. He dreamed that Asgard turned into a sea of fire and a giant covered in fire destroyed Asgard.
In addition, he was also looking for his younger brother Loki. Thor had never seen him since they parted in the Void, and he didn't know whether Loki was still alive.
Thor was originally investigating clues about Loki. He almost knew where Loki was. According to the clues, that guy seemed to be on a planet called Sakaar.
But at this moment, Heimdall called him urgently and recalled him back to Asgard using the Rainbow Bridge.
Thor hurried towards Asgard, and when he reached the depths of the hall, he saw Odin sitting on the throne.
"Father, why are you so anxious to find me back? Is there something wrong?" Thor asked with a puzzled expression.
"Do you remember what I told you?"
"The twilight of the gods is about to come, the origin of fear will descend, and that will be a real disaster!" Thor repeated what Odin had said.
"Yes." Odin nodded. "The great snake has returned. I can no longer stop him. You must work together to deal with him. Otherwise, not only our God Realm, the Earth, but also the entire universe will be shrouded in his fear."
"Wait a minute." Thor looked confused, "Who is the big snake? What does he have to do with fear?"
Odin's next words directly broke Thor's cognition since birth, which was the truth that had been buried for a long time, "I actually have a brother."
"His name is Culberson, and he's your uncle. He's the god of fear in Asgard, and people call him the Serpent!"
"The God of Terror? Why have I never heard of this name?" Thor looked a little doubtful.
"After your grandfather, my father, God King Bor, passed away, I did not inherit the throne right away. The person who inherited the throne was your uncle Kul!" "Kul was a good man before he became the God King. But when he inherited the throne, he possessed the power of the God of Fear, and his personality became tyrannical and cruel. He wanted to shroud the whole world in fear."
"So in the end I sealed him on Earth and asked the ancient Old Ones to guard him. The key to the seal, the legendary Hammer of Skadi, was thrown into the abyss of the World Tree by me and turned into ashes from then on."
"If that's the case, how did the big snake escape?" Thor continued to ask.
"Stupid Earthlings, the Red Skull of Hydra actually found the Sky Hammer from another timeline in another time and space, and he used that hammer to release the snake."
Odin's body looked very weak, but his tone sounded very angry. However, this cannot be entirely blamed on the Red Skull. If he was still young, if he was still the god of death Odin, even with the key, the snake would not be able to escape.
And he had something important that he didn't tell Thor.
That is the prophecy about the World Tree.
At that time, Odin wanted Kul to return to his previous personality, so he sacrificed his right eye to the world tree. This is the truth about Odin's one-eyedness. He was not injured by the frost giant king Laufey, but used his eye to exchange for the wisdom of the world tree.
But the answer he got was something Odin couldn't accept, which was that the serpent could only be destroyed. If he wanted to completely destroy the serpent, Thor, the god of thunder, had to die.
Odin certainly didn't want Thor to die with his uncle, so he tried his best to seal the God of Terror deep in the earth, at the end of the Mariana Trench. But who would have thought that the God of Terror would be released in the end.
"In that case, I have to defeat him quickly." Thor certainly didn't know about the World Tree Prophecy.
"He is very powerful, possessing more powerful divine power than me." Odin shook his head, "You need help from others, only together can you defeat him!"
"That's right." Thor scratched his head, "Since the Serpent is on Earth, I have to quickly gather the Avengers!"
"No." Odin's expression became serious. "I admit that those superheroes are powerful, but they are just mortals and cannot match the gods, so you need another god."
"Loki?" Thor said. "I have found where he is. I can call him back in a moment."
Hearing Thor say this, Odin was silent for a moment, then he stood up from the throne and said, "Follow me."
"This is a period of history that I have covered up, just like the existence of a giant snake." Odin came to the center of the hall, where the dome was covered with murals.
The center of the mural is the majestic Asgard, and there are many ancient Norse myths around Asgard, including the birth of Thor and Loki by Odin and Frigga, the legend of the Valkyries, the toasting at the garden party, and the peace agreement between Odin and the Frost Giants...
Thor curled his lips. He knew that many of these murals were fake. After all, they were legends and history, so they were definitely more beautified.
"Thor." Odin stared into Thor's eyes and said, "I'm sorry, there are some things I have never told you, including Loki's life experience and the sealed snake. But there is actually one thing I haven't told you either."
"whats the matter?"
Odin raised the Eternal Spear in his hand, and a ray of golden light shot towards the murals on the dome. Those murals were shattered one after another, revealing the ancient murals inside. That was the truth of it all!
"That is... the fact that you have a sister."
Sorry, I'm going to start something~
