Dominion, Asgard.
The sky seemed to be tearing apart.
All the named Aesir gods had now gathered outside Asgard.
"Hoohoo!!!"
"Hoohoo!!!"
Countless Asgardian warriors stood in neat ranks before the city. The sun god, the god of speed, and the young Thor were also present.
Not long ago, something had ripped open a chasm in the skies of Asgard, releasing an ancient and dark energy that spread far and wide.
"What is that? Where does this dark energy come from? It's far more powerful than the Dark Elves'!"
Odin, the God-King of Asgard, was staring into the sky. It had only been a few hundred years since he had overthrown his brother, the God of Fear, Cul. Clad in golden armor and wielding his spear Gungnir, Odin watched as this all-encompassing darkness threatened to tear apart the very fabric of the Nine Realms.
"Your Majesty, they're here!" a voice from the periphery of Asgard announced. Even Heimdall's all-seeing eyes had been unable to pinpoint the source of this terrifying power.
"Thor, open the barrier of Asgard! Warriors of Asgard, prepare to attack with me!"
Following the command, a beautiful woman activated the city's defenses, and a transparent shield enveloped all of Asgard. At the same time, the guard army, the Valkyrie army, and the Soul Castle army all readied themselves, waiting for Odin's order to attack.
"Boom!!!"
The sky exploded, and a pitch-black shadow plummeted toward the ground through the shattered barrier. No one could make out its form. Within the darkness, a man with his eyes closed was falling from the sky. The immense energy emanating from his body threatened to destroy all of Asgard at any moment. The power was so great that even Odin could barely contend with it.
"Visitor from afar, please stop immediately!"
Odin stood solemnly, Gungnir poised and ready in his hand.
However, the light wrapped in dark energy did not stop. But Odin's voice seemed to awaken an entity within the light.
"Hm?"
What is this place?
The young man slowly opened his eyes, revealing a massive wound on his chest. A surge of sacred energy immediately surprised the man, making his already pale face even paler.
"Your Majesty, this beam of light has no intention of stopping! What should we do?!"
Odin shook his head. Half of Asgard's energy now covered his body, raising his power to the level of All-Father.
"I have fought all the gods. A person of unknown origin, allow me to end your fate!"
With that, he hurled Gungnir, his spear of eternity, toward the sky like a shooting star.
But at that moment, Gungnir, the weapon famous for always hitting its target, turned in mid-air and returned to Odin's hand. Everyone was shocked that the greatest artifact in the Nine Realms had missed. Even Odin sat on his eight-legged horse in astonishment, his single eye shining with disbelief.
What happened? The pitch-black light was clearly within his control, so why couldn't Gungnir strike him?
"Gungnir?"
Suddenly, a cold voice echoed in Odin's mind.
"So, this is Asgard?"
Odin turned his eight-legged Pegasus around. None of the Asgardian warriors had noticed that a handsome man in a black robe had slowly descended into the sky of Asgard.
"Wrong..."
"Wrong..."
The man's eyes were a light blue, but they held no vitality, making him look like a dead man. The light blue of his eyes, pure as a gemstone, was the only thing that stood out. What surprised Odin the most was the man's chest. A scepter made of pure golden light was fiercely embedded in it, pinning the man in place.
"This world doesn't seem right..."
As Odin watched, the man pulled the scepter from his chest. But the wound did not show any signs of healing.
"Outsider, this is the center of the Nine Realms. I am the God-King Odin. Leave my territory at once!"
"Oh, I know your name..." the man replied. "But what good is that?"
"Odin Borson, you have blocked my path. Because of your crime, you will be suppressed for a thousand years!!"
This voice spread throughout Asgard.
After he spoke, an intense dark light transformed into a rune. The rune was engraved with words no one in this world had ever seen. Then, it plummeted.
"Boom!!!"
From the sky, Odin's eight-legged Pegasus fell to the ground. The God-King of Asgard, All-Father Odin, also fell from the sky, landing in front of his own hall.
"Father!!"
"Your Majesty!!!"
A generation of the God-King Odin had been sealed at the critical moment of the battle.
"Ahhhh!"
The gods turned their eyes from Odin to the sky. The black mist dispersed, and a shadowy figure gradually appeared before them.
"You! Who the hell are you?!"
Odin's son, the young Thor, stared at the sky in rage.
"Hades..."
The indifferent voice reappeared. "I am Hades..."
As soon as the voice fell, the figure in the air exploded.
