In the Golden Palace of Asgard, the god Odin was drinking with his allies.
After drinking, Tang Song also learned some things about the eldest princess of Asgard from the god Odin.
Hela, the goddess of death in Norse mythology on Earth, is the queen of the underworld Helheim and is in charge of aging and disease.
In mythology, Hela is not the offspring of Odin, but the youngest child of Loki, the god of trickery, and the giantess Angrboda, and the sister of the giant wolf Fenrir and the giant snake Jörmungandr.
Among the three siblings, Hela stood out like her two brothers despite growing into human form. Half of her body was gentle and beautiful, while the other half was rotten and hideous like a demon.
Hela and her brothers have been targeted by the god-king Odin since childhood because of the prophecy that they would fight against the gods at Ragnarok.
Hela herself was exiled to Helheim, a world not of fire but of freezing cold, where she ruled alongside the hellhound Garm.
She lives in a palace called Eleudnir and settles the souls of those who did not die on the battlefield into her own kingdom.
The myths and legends passed down orally are somewhat different from the reality of Asgard, for example, Loki is not Odin's sworn brother, but his adopted son.
Hela is not Loki's daughter, but Odin's eldest daughter. When Odin conquered the Nine Realms, Hela led the Death Legion to fight north and south, and at one point conquered most of the Nine Realms for him, and made great military achievements.
Unfortunately, it was because Hela was too powerful and Odin was in his prime at that time.
The prince is powerful and poses a threat to his rule. For a king, father-daughter affection is nothing in the face of power.
Later, after pacifying the Nine Realms, the god Odin stopped his expansion. After fighting for so many years, he was ready to enjoy himself.
Unfortunately, the young and energetic Hela was unwilling to stop and wanted to continue conquering other dimensions.
When Odin saw that Hela, who led a huge army of death, disagreed with him, he took the lead in ordering several troops of Asgard to launch a surprise attack on Hela's army of death in the name of maintaining peace in the Nine Realms.
In this battle, Hela was severely injured and sealed in Helheim, and the Death Army she led was also sealed in Asgard.
The price Odin paid was extremely tragic. His most powerful legion of Valkyries was completely wiped out, and his legion of Berserkers was crippled. This also laid the groundwork for the subsequent instability in the Nine Realms.
Odin is now old and wants to leave something for his son, so he sets his sights on the sealed Hela.
"The old guy is really a dog!" Tang Song, who understood Odin's plan, had a smile on his face, but he spat in his heart. At the same time, he was thinking about what benefits he could get from it.
... ... ..
"boom!"
Hundreds of dwarf airships were suspended in the air, and dozens of cannons on the airships roared at the angel army flying in the distance.
The artillery fire tore open lines of fire among the densely packed angel legions, which were then filled by more angels.
Thousands of Asgard's warships faced these angels at the same time, and their cannons fired in unison.
However, most of the Nine Realms are magical kingdoms, and they do not attach much importance to technological weapons. Even if Asgard has a small number of spaceships, they are often used as means of transportation rather than combat spacecraft.
Therefore, the artillery fire of these warships was not fierce, and was even inferior to the artillery fire of the Tang Group's first-class heavy battleship, the Datang.
One after another, magic bullets, technological cannon shells, and energy beams fell on the angel army that was rushing over. Each one could shatter the angel array of hundreds of square meters, and white feathers fluttered away.
In a blink of an eye, ten times, a hundred times more angels came to fill the gap.
In front of the World Tree battlefield, although the Nine Realms launched a long-range blocking attack, a large number of white locusts rushed to the World Tree with their numerical advantage. From a distance, the World Tree looked like a dam, and the dense army of angels was like a tide hitting the dam.
The dwarf airships and Asgard's warships in the sky were instantly surrounded by the army of angels, and the sky seemed to be filled with thousands of huge wriggling white balls.
From time to time, the sound of explosions could be heard, which was the sound of airships and warships being destroyed.
The Nine Realms and the Heaven Dimension thus engaged in a brutal melee.
Thor led hundreds of thousands of Asgard and Vanir warriors to stand in front of the surging angel army, forming a human defense line for the long-range troops in the rear.
The two sides engaged in fierce close combat.
The young Thor's body is not as bloated as his counterpart in the next universe. The God of Hammer swings his hammer, sometimes soaring into the sky, sometimes falling back to the ground, summoning lightning and thunder like rain, constantly striking the enemies around him.
The angels struck by his lightning fell from the sky like roasted chickens with burnt wings, and were then chopped into meat sauce by the soldiers beside Thor.
Around Thor, there were thousands of berserkers wearing horned helmets. With Thor as the center, they held great swords and axes in their hands and fought with the legion of angels.
Surrounding them were ordinary Asgard soldiers.
The Aesir of Asgard, perhaps because of their bloodline and the influence of the planet's gravity, even ordinary Aesir have physical fitness at least three times that of ordinary people on Earth.
The Berserkers are the best among them. They are armed with elite magic weapons and can often defeat a hundred ordinary winged angels.
After going berserk, the berserkers, whose strength and defense were doubled, swung their giant axes. The cross swords in the hands of ordinary angels could not block their attacks at all.
The holy swords stabbed by the angels were basically just like tickling these berserkers with amazing recovery and defense capabilities.
When Odin conquered the Nine Realms, although he did not occupy much territory of the Nine Realms, he collected a lot of good things. Even the leather armor of these Berserkers was made of the leather of some kind of dragon creature.
Asgard's allies, the Vanir of Vanaheim, may not be as good at close combat as Asgard's Berserkers, but they are born to be magic manipulators.
Under the protection of the World Tree, some Vanir magicians manipulated the elemental forces, condensed basin-sized fireballs, dense pale blue wind blades, and ice cones to attack the angel legion.
A man with long hair and a golden antler helmet on his head, holding a dagger inlaid with sapphires, stood in the ranks of Vanir magicians and waved the dagger as he did.
On the battlefield, some angels in combat suddenly found that there were inexplicably more enemies around them. When the cross swords in their hands swung forward, they often chopped down all the enemies.
Sometimes, the enemy is right in front of them, but they seem to be blind and turn a blind eye to it.
Then, because they were distracted, they were split into two pieces by the Berserkers' giant axes.
Who else could do such a bold move? It would naturally be Loki, the third princess of Asgard.
Although Loki is the descendant of Frost Giants, he was adopted by Odin since childhood and learned magic from his adoptive mother. It can be said that Loki is a master of illusion magic in the entire Nine Realms.
On the two wings of Asgard are the fire demons of Muspelheim and the frost giants of Jotunheim. The former are creatures that look like hellfire demons. They are born with the ability to control fire, just as the frost giants are born with the ability to control ice.
This time the Nine Realms resisted the Heaven Dimension, and hundreds of thousands of fire demons from Muspelheim came.
As for Jotunheim, Laufey sent out tens of thousands of frost giants.
They also had a very intense fight with the Angel Legion.
The fire demons and angels flapping their wings of flames hate each other.
The fight was merciless, but the number of angels was too large. On the battlefield, there were often dozens of angels surrounding a fire demon and fighting and hacking at them.
Dozens of white lights surrounded a red light and chased it. White lightsabers were like rain. The number of fire demons on the battlefield was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
If they hadn't had the dwarves' magical muskets and artillery support behind them, they would have been defeated long ago.
"My lord! There are too many of these white birdmen. We have already lost hundreds of our people!"
On the right wing of Asgard, tens of thousands of frost giants waved their weapons to intercept the angels in front of them as if they were stopping chickens.
The Frost Giants of Jotunheim are a branch of the Giants, but their power is not as strong as that of the Ancient Giants. At best, they are slightly stronger than the Aesir, but their fertility is as difficult as that of their own kind.
For Muspelheim, it doesn’t matter even if hundreds of thousands of fire demons are killed here, because Muspelheim is the place where the flames start.
These fire demons are like hell, born of nature, like weeds in the field, one crop after another.
For the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, losing a member of the tribe is enough to make them feel painful.
"Tell the tribesmen that if they can't hold out, just leave a gap for them! Don't fight to the death! Only when Asgard and these angels are both defeated, can we "persuade" Odin to return the Frozen Box!"
A four-meter-tall giant with ice-blue skin seemed to have an icy halo under his feet. All the angels who approached him within a hundred meters were frozen into a pile of ice.
Under the intentional release of water by the Frost Giant, many angels rushed directly to the Light Elves behind them.
“Buzz!”
“Whoosh!”
After another round of volleys, facing the army of angels rushing forward, the light elves in the first row all put their longbows on their backs, drew their sharp elven swords from the scabbards at their waists, and slashed at the angels in front of them.
The other elves retreated quickly, firing their longbows in support. With the elves' superb archery skills, even if these angels were fighting with their own people, their arrows could often hit the target.
In the tense battlefield, the Nine Realms had the upper hand at the beginning, but as time went on, more and more angels joined the battlefield, and the casualties on the Nine Realms side became heavier.
The balance of victory began to tilt towards the Heaven Dimension.
... ... ..
Among the three defense lines of the Nine Realms, the first to collapse was the Light Elves. As the Frost Giants attempted to preserve their strength, more and more angels broke into the tender leaves of the World Tree. In the end, hundreds of miles of tender leaf space were almost entirely occupied by angels.
As the distance got closer, these light elves from Alfheim had to give up their bows and arrows, and instead use elven sabers and elven swords to engage in close combat with these angels.
Just like the situation encountered by the Fire Demon, the number of these angels was simply too large. No matter how agile the Light Elf was or how sharp his sword was, he could not withstand these enemies that were dozens of times his number.
These light elves had to form a circle to barely resist the attacks of the angels.
... ... ..
"Lord Gabriel! Our people have opened a gap. Should we send another army to penetrate the heart of the Nine Realms?"
A six-winged angel keenly noticed the gap left by the enemy on the battlefield, and he quickly flew to Gabriel to report.
"No! Wait a minute!" Gabriel held the Doomsday Horn in his hand: "Now is not the time!"
The seraph was a little surprised, but as a subordinate, he knew he had no right to question the Archangel, and he respectfully retreated behind Gabriel.
Gabriel looked at the shadow of Odin in the distance, his eyes flashing with silver light: "Odin, how long can you hold on?!"
Gabriel launched this war against the nine realms in order to avenge Michael, and he needed to give an explanation to the Lord.
Otherwise, how would he explain himself when facing the Lord’s accountability
Likewise, he was not in a hurry to invade the Nine Realms. The two great guardians of the Nine Realms, Odin and the Ancient One, were people that the Lord feared.
However, in the Lord's prophecy, both of them will meet their demise, and he only needs to wait...
As for this war, there are plenty of fighting angels in Heaven Mountain. He can afford this war of attrition. It depends on how long the Nine Realms can hold on!
As soon as Odin enters Ragnarok, he leads his legions of angels into the Nine Realms and seizes this rich land of faith.
... ... ..
On the World Tree, the light elf that originally occupied a young leaf had to continue to retreat along a thin branch of the World Tree. The densely packed angels were like a large group of fluttering moths emitting white light, chasing after them relentlessly.
"roar!"
At this moment, a tiger roar suddenly sounded beside the retreating elf army. Many elves subconsciously turned their heads to look. Next to them, a gorgeous tiger with a body length of seven or eight meters and a shoulder height of three or four meters was walking slowly and lightly towards the group of angels in front.
"roar!"
Hundreds of four-winged angels flew the fastest, flapping their wings and quickly swooped forward.
In the center of the elven army's circle, a group of elven archers subconsciously drew their bows and arrows, but before they could release the golden arrows, they released them.
The fierce tiger roared again, and a black wind blew out of his mouth, instantly sweeping towards the angels in front of him. As the evil wind blew, hundreds of angels disappeared without a trace in an instant.
The tiger squinted its eyes and glanced at the group of elves beside it, then quickened its pace and trotted towards the oncoming army of angels.
Clouds follow the dragon, tiger creates wind, as the tiger's speed becomes faster and faster, a layer of black wind wraps around his body.
Whoosh whoosh—
A huge black wind was howling, and in the end, even the silhouette of the tiger could not be seen. Only a black gust of wind made it impossible for people to open their eyes, and it swept towards the thousands of angels. If Kane and the others were here, they would definitely find that the gust of wind summoned by the big cat was very similar to the Five Yin Black Evils in the Five Yin Bag.
The angel who was blown by the black wind had his flesh and blood disappear in an instant and turned into the black wind. In the pitch-black wind, the sound of a fierce beast swallowing and chewing could be faintly heard.
... ... .
“Ah!” “Ah!”
hold head high!"
On the battlefield, the angel army that destroyed the Nine Realms' air force is occupying an advantageous terrain and continuously launching holy light strikes on the battlefield below.
A three-headed dragon with a body length of several hundred meters appeared out of nowhere, flapping its wings and creating gusts of wind. The angels on all sides were blown around like leaves in the wind, swaying involuntarily.
The three heads of Ghidorah spewed out white-hot electric currents in three directions, turning large groups of angels into charcoal and directly clearing the sky for dozens of miles.
The pressure on the soldiers from the Nine Realms below was instantly reduced!
