Chapter 696: An Unchangeable Destiny
It was peaceful and quiet.
This is the prosperity of Asgard under the rule of Odin for nearly a thousand years.
They had enjoyed a thousand years of peace since the last war with the Asgardian army and the war that conquered the world of the nine kingdoms. This also caused the invincible army to gradually become less powerful than before.
Thor held Jane's hand and walked in the garden of the palace, admiring the strange plants that were blooming.
Although she was temporarily unable to take out the substance in Jane's body, El had already cured the injuries on her body. At least now, she could no longer see the appearance of the' corpse 'that had once died.
The two sat on the green lawn, enjoying this quiet and leisure time.
"Thor, are you still thinking about the prophecy?"
Jane saw the man's frown and realized that he was still immersed in the prophecy of destruction that Frigga had mentioned.
"Yes. I am a little concerned."
There was a serious look on Thor's face. He said in a low voice, "In fact, I have never seen mother have that kind of expression, and I have never heard father mention anything about the lizardmen and the prophecy of destruction."
"Then, why don't you ask your father?" Jean was very confused. He clearly cared so much about it, so why not ask him personally?
"The problem is that I can't ask now."
Thor grabbed a stalk of grass in distress and said helplessly, "A year ago, he fell into a deep sleep and hasn't awakened yet."
"Did he just sleep like this for a year?" Jane's eyes widened, revealing a shocked expression. "Oh my god, is the physique of the Asgardians like this? They can sleep for an entire year?"
"No. It was never like this in the past."
Thor sighed and said in a faint tone, "Although my father woke up once during this period, he soon fell into a deep slumber again. Moreover, the time of his slumber has greatly exceeded the past. My mother and I are both very worried about him."
The only person who knew about the 'light pact' and 'light prophecy' was currently in a deep slumber.
The Divine King who protected the nine worlds, Odin, had been sleeping for such a long time. If people from the outside world knew about this news, it would easily cause chaos in the nine worlds. So up until now, it was Heavenly Empress Frigga who was using illusions to maintain this fragile 'light peace'.
"Then, how long do I need to wait?"
Thinking of that strange substance,
Jean felt terrified and uneasy.
It was like a ticking time bomb had been buried in his body, and he did not know when it would explode. His nerves were constantly ravaged and tortured.
"Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."
Thor hugged the uneasy Jane and held her in his arms. He comforted her softly, "I will go find the winter lion in two days. They should have a way to take out the aether particles in your body."
Just as the two of them kissed each other, they did not realize that darkness had quietly spread.
Three of the four warriors of the Immortal Palace walked out of the Rainbow Bridge, escorting the prisoners arrested from the Nine Great Kings. According to the law of Asgarda, these people would be imprisoned in the prison under the palace and would not be released until they died.
As the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, Heimdallr had a pair of eyes that could see the nine worlds.
According to the usual practice, in addition to monitoring the abnormalities in the nine worlds, he was also responsible for distinguishing every person from the Rainbow Bridge and entering Asgarda, lest some people with ulterior motives sneak in.
However, it was this time.
Heimdallr happened to be distracted because of Jean, so he did not pay attention to this group of prisoners.
Among them, there was a tall criminal with a ferocious devil helmet, heavy shackles on his hands and feet, escorted by the three warriors of the Immortal Palace, and successfully came to the lowest prison of the palace from the eyes of Heimdallr.
A golden energy curtain rose from all sides of the prison cell.
All the prisoners trapped in the prison cell could not break the light curtain from the inside, unless the guards on the outside opened it.
The tall and sturdy criminal with the evil ghost helmet took out broken aether particles from the wound on his abdomen. After crushing it, a scarlet red liquid spread through his body like a maggot in his bones.
"Ugh!"
The fragments of the aether particles fused into his flesh and blood, turning him into a cursed warrior in the blink of an eye.
The prisoners in the same cell found that the situation was not right. The entire room was covered by a scarlet liquid. This evil energy was like a monster that was extracting their vitality. A person who was close to them instantly became a mummy.
The screams from the prison cell attracted the nearby guards.
When they arrived at the prison cell, they saw the criminal who had been sucked dry and the roaring armored warrior.
Through the gaps of the armor of the roaring warrior, they could see scarlet substance flowing like fresh blood. Evil energy eroded the entire prison cell, and even the indestructible golden light curtain was on the verge of collapse.
In the next moment, the light curtain shattered.
The beast was out of the cage!
The scarlet eyes under the helmet were like a wild beast that was ready to devour people. Its entire body emitted a fierce and violent aura, wantonly squandering the enormous power in its body. With just one punch, it exploded the head of the Asgardian guard who was trying to stop it.
The golden helmet was shattered with one punch, and blood mixed with brain matter splattered all over the ground.
The rest of the guards were frightened by his ferocity, but they still mustered up the courage to attack, trying to stop this guy from escaping.
But it was a pity that their actions were like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, there was no meaning in them.
Under the powerful strength of the cursed warriors, these Asgardian guards were extremely fragile. After being punched, they were sent flying with their armor. There were even quite a few people who were directly crushed in the head. It only took them a few seconds to all die.
"Ah!!!!!"
Algrim raised his head to the sky and let out a roar, bathed in the blood of the Asgardians, which gave him a feeling of returning to the past.
That was the peak of the dark elves. They ruled a large area of the universe. Wherever they passed, there were only blood and bones. Now, as the last cursed warrior, he would personally start the prelude to this era.
The prisoners in the other prison cells immediately burst into cheers when they saw that someone had successfully escaped from prison.
Algrim did not waste time talking to them. He snatched the device that controlled the light switch in the guard's arms and released most of the prisoners here because he needed these people to attract Thunder God's attention.
When Algrim passed by one of the prison cells, a voice suddenly floated out.
"Remember to take the stairs on the left. There might not be any surprises."
Algrim followed the voice and looked back. A man wearing Asgardian clothes was standing in front of the golden light curtain and looking at him. There was a playful smile on his lips, like a child who was playing a prank.
After thinking about it for a moment, Algrim remembered this person's identity.
He was the one who murdered his father and usurped the throne. He was exiled by Asgarda. Later, he invaded Midgard and was arrested. After he was imprisoned, he was Loki. Asgarda used to be the second Prince and was also the child of Jotunheim's Frost King.
Thinking of the hatred between Loki and Asgarda, Algrim decided to believe his words.
If there was someone who wanted to take revenge on Asgarda more than them, then perhaps it was the Prince who was abandoned in front of them.
"Hehe."
As he gazed at the distant Algrim, Loki had a pleasant feeling of revenge in his heart.
This was revenge.
To Odin, Asgard, Thor, and those who had abandoned him and ignored him. Revenge!
