Chapter 410 - 408 The End Of A Hero, The Sky Falling.
Earth.
In the eyes of Asgardians, this place was called Terra, also known as Midgard.
Those arrogant people in the divine realm still had the stereotypical impression of this place as 'barbaric' and 'primitive'.
Thor, who first came to Earth, or the Warriors Three of Asgard who followed him…
By and large, they were looking down on this 'backward place' which looked was weak on the surface but was actually the novice village for all walks of life.
Not only for Earth but also for other worlds.
After all, regional discrimination was a topic that was never out of date in any universe.
Even Asgardians who claim to be rulers and guardians of the nine realms.
Thousands of years ago, their ancestors defeated the Dark Elves and then defeated the Frost Giants.
In addition, with Odin's presence, Asgard was in its prime, entering its most glorious phase.
It was reasonable for them to look down on other realms and other races.
Similar to the British, who despised Americans as 'Yankees' during the Revolutionary War.
Odin and Luke, who fought through the eight realms in a row, alarmed countless people.
They fell into the vortex and appeared in Midgard.
Boom!
God and Superman, one after another, broke through the barrier.
Gungnir collided with the Tenth Metal, and a terrifying energy storm erupted.
A burst of bright light flashed as if the sun lit up and then went out.
Hundreds of glowing Runes were detonated with a flourish.
It was like a celestial body shattering, bombarding Superman's body with the aura of destruction.
The tough and powerful flesh was violently impacted by the energy storm and was instantly covered with scorched black wounds. His whole body plunged down like a cannonball.
Luke grinned. The bright silver glint of the Tenth Metal swept across Odin's neck.
Just a little bit closer, it could have slashed off the God King's big head.
Odin covered his neck, and blood oozed between his fingers.
With an odd look, he looked at Luke as if he was deeply puzzled.
In just a few breaths, the horrible wounds on his body were healed as before.
The surrounding light seemed to darken as if swallowed by the Sorcerer Supreme.
The vitality that was lost was filled back in a few moments.
'Is this human on drugs?
Huff! Huff!
Odin was panting, his eyes full of shock.
The difficult battle had greatly depleted the physical, mental, and vital forces of both sides.
In the past, the King of the Gods had never been afraid of anyone in terms of fighting and endurance.
Because the Aesir gods, especially the royal bloodline…
As they age, their quality would significantly improve in all aspects.
At the same time, every once in a while, they would enter the 'dormant stage', just like animals hibernating or cocooning.
As a powerful veteran who had been famous for thousands of years, Odin wouldn't lose to a human being in persistence.
But the truth was brutal.
Luke had never shown fatigue but had the tendency to fight even more bravely.
Before, he had resisted the burst of magic power from Runes, and it was obvious that he was severely injured and dying.
But after a few deep breaths, his stats were back to full.
It was as if he had taken something!
'Is it Vishanti's secret blessing?'
Odin couldn't help but wonder.
But he also had the original power given by the World Tree.
In addition, it was connected to all of Asgard.
It didn't make sense that it was not as good as the Vishanti!
This was a gift that he got by sacrificing an eye through a trial.
At that time, Odin drank from the Well of Mimir, hung upside down under the World Tree for nine days and nine nights, and finally received revelation, comprehended the Rune, and gained unprecedented divine power.
Otherwise, it was impossible to defeat Cul, who was the King of the Gods at that time.
"Your Majesty, you are old, and it seems that you're out of your depth. "
Luke's voice was blown away by the gale and reached Odin's ears.
The two men flew down with a bang and landed on a solid glacier.
The ice layer, frozen for tens of thousands of years, shattered violently.
Like a meteor hitting the Earth, it sent out a violent shockwave.
The huge iceberg floating in the freezing sea was directly pierced by a human figure and collapsed as a whole, setting off huge waves.
That was Odin.
The ensuing Heat Vision melted the iceberg, evaporated water into steam, and penetrated the God King's chest.
"I think the winner has been decided. "
Luke landed on the ice.
This was Antarctica.
The coldest continent in the world.
98% of the area was covered by ice and snow all year round.
The ice shelf alone covered an area of about 2 million km², with an average thickness of about 2 km.
Superman looked around. This was a vast ice field in the middle of nowhere.
In addition to the endless white ice, there were only giant icebergs floating sporadically on the surface of the sea.
"You're not human. "
A large hole was punctured through Odin's chest. Flesh and blood were evaporated by the high temperature.
He staggered to his feet, using the Gungnir to support himself.
"I've never seen a human being like you, who doesn't know what death is and could fight on forever. "
A trace of sadness flashed in Odin's eyes. This was one of the few failures in his life.
Before that, the God-King of Asgard had never thought…
One day, he would lose to a human.
That was ridiculous.
So much so that when it did happen, Odin had some difficulty accepting it.
The cold wind whirled and blew over the body of the God whose life force was gradually dwindling.
"I'm human, just slightly stronger. "
Luke answered with a smile.
If it weren't for the [The Devastator] card, he might not have beaten Odin.
He nearly died several times but came back to life.
After bearing the Runes a few times, Superman's body had developed resistance instead, and the damage got lower and lower.
This was the characteristic of [The Devastator].
The legendary weapon, Gungnir…
The Runes, from the World Tree…
The Allfather level, with the divine bloodline…
These divine objects and powers that mortals could only look up to throughout their lives were superimposed on one another, creating the supreme myth of Odin's unstoppable victory and invincibility.
But today.
The god had fallen.
The myth shattered.
Luke smashed it all with his own hands!
"What are you going to do?"
Odin closed his eyes, then opened them again.
After all, he was the King of the Gods. He would never fear death or beg for mercy from his enemies.
Gungnir's peerless blade was pointed at Luke.
It seemed to be a desperate attempt to fight to the end.
"Kill you? No, not really. "
Luke smiled. The Tenth Metal retracted into his palm.
The dark red cloak fluttered and stood out in the white environment.
"I still need Asgard's power to fight against the Serpent. "
"If I cut off the head of the God-King, Thor would definitely take revenge for you. And without your suppression, Hela of the underworld may also escape from her confinement. "
"At that time, I would have to face the anger of your son and daughter. "
"If I kill them all too, I would send your whole family back to the embrace of Yggdrasil."
"Superman would be reduced to a tyrannical villain. That wouldn't be good. "
Luke explained with a light smile.
Odin smiled half-heartedly.
He and the young Sorcerer Supreme experienced an Allfather level battle, and the other side won easily. 'Would he let me go?'
"But--"
After a moment's pause, Luke finally spat out this annoying twist:
"You did have malice towards Earth and almost put it into practice. However, I stopped you. "
"According to the laws of various countries in Midgard, this is called 'Criminal attempt' and is punishable by law. "
Odin felt something was wrong. He tentatively asked, "You want to put me on trial? Use the laws here to send me to prison?"
"A God King can't stay with mortals."
Luke's smile improved, but in Odin's eyes, it looked like the devil's.
"Your Majesty, do you know where this is?"
Odin lowered his Gungnir and seemed to be relaxed.
He looked around and shook his head.
"Forgot? A long time ago, Asgard and the Frost Giants, you and Laufey, fought in Midgard. The artifact of Jotunheim, the Casket of Ancient Winters, opened, sending the planet into the Ice Age. "
Luke reminded.
"This is the frozen land created by the casket, called Antarctica. "
Odin seemed to think of something, and his expression turned ugly.
Gungnir was lifted again.
"I'm the King of Asgard. You can't humiliate me like this!"
Odin growled in a low voice.
"Like a warrior, either kill me and give me an honorable death! Or …"
Luke turned a deaf ear. He didn't wait for his opponent to finish and took a step forward. Superman's body tore the air.
Odin, who had run out of vigor, couldn't dodge. He raised his hand and swung Gungnir.
Gungnir's blade swept by, golden thunder burst out.
Crackle!
The electric arcs jumped and landed on the empty space.
The thick ice melted into a huge hole. Luke, who pushed forward, smashed his fist into Odin's head.
Bang!
Like an iron strike!
The God-King was suddenly attacked, swayed twice, and fell down headfirst.
"Since it has occurred to you that Antarctica is the territory of your brother, Cul, let's go and catch up with him. "
Luke softly chuckled.
He picked up the semi-conscious Odin with one hand and flung him out as if he were throwing a lead ball.
"I believe that Cul, the Serpent, will 'spoil' his brother well. "
…
…
"My Worthy are scattered all over the world. "
An old man with white hair and a scepter spoke in a hoarse voice.
Behind him was Sinthea, the daughter of Red Skull, who had raised the Hammer of Skadi.
And, respectfully, Baron Strucker.
"My daughter, are you willing to conquer the world and spread fear for me?"
The old man turned his head and asked in a cold tone.
He was wearing a robe woven from raven feathers, and his eyes were flashing with a ghostly green fire, just like a reanimated skeleton.
"I'm willing! Great Allfather!"
Sinthea held the hammer in one hand and knelt on one leg in submission.
Baron Strucker followed suit.
This was an ancient god!
"Well, then, go! Go with those brothers of yours, take over the world, and then -- attack Asgard!"
"I want that golden palace to collapse and crumble. I want Asgard's blood to flow …"
Boom!
The old man's declaration, full of hatred and anger, wasn't done yet, when an object from the sky, with friction and fire, smashed through the South Pole base and landed in front of him.
"Odin?"
He narrowed his eyes and saw the figure lying on the ground like a piece of garbage.
"My foolish brother, what happened to you?"
