Odin, whose mood had greatly improved after scolding Thor, was about to return to the palace.
Upon hearing Heimdall's urgent message, he immediately activated the dark energy teleportation without bothering to question it, and with Thor in tow, arrived at the Rainbow Bridge.
"Heimdall, what happened?"
"All-Father, Aaron went to Muspelheim. He gave the Eternal Flame to Surtur, and now that fire demon is rapidly recovering his strength!"
Heimdall directly shared his vision with Odin and Thor.
"My goodness, this thing is much bigger than I imagined…"
Thor looked at the mountains beside Surtur, which reached his waist, and thought of his own tiny body. He couldn't help but gasp,
"How big is this thing exactly?"
Heimdall immediately gave the answer: "Four thousand three hundred fifty-one meters, and he's still growing!"
Thor secretly compared his size to Surtur's. He wondered if he could really shake such a terrifying monster.
His lightning… probably couldn't destroy mountains, could it?
Odin's brows were tightly furrowed.
"All-Father, we cannot wait any longer. Once Surtur fully recovers his strength, he will lead the Frost Giants to threaten Asgard!"
"Please allow me to immediately activate the Rainbow Bridge and utterly destroy Muspelheim!"
Heimdall did not want to destroy the stars.
But if this planet was too evil, for the sake of Asgard, he would not hesitate to be the executioner.
"Wait a little longer, Aaron is still there."
Odin shook his head.
Heimdall urgently said, "But All-Father, Aaron has committed treason!"
"I saw him with my own eyes giving the Eternal Flame to Surtur…"
Odin said nothing, gripping the Gungnir in his hand.
Thor also said nothing, staring blankly at Aaron and Surtur.
He was wondering if he could truly be a qualified king.
"Father, how did you defeat this massive monster back then?"
Odin seemed to recall an unpleasant memory and shook his head, saying, "Thor, because Asgard stood behind me!"
"You mean… unity?"
"No, I mean, I had no choice but to defeat him!"
Surtur was arguably the strongest of the many enemies Odin had defeated.
To defeat Surtur, Asgard at its peak paid a heavy price.
But now, Surtur had revived again.
"Aaron, what do you intend to do?"
Looking at Aaron, Odin was filled with confusion.
At this moment,
Aaron finally nodded in satisfaction, "That's about enough. It's time to harvest."
"Asgardian, you are too arrogant!"
Surtur had grown larger and stronger.
It was a surprise to him that this strange Asgardian, Aaron, would return the Eternal Flame to him.
But this did not diminish Surtur's hatred for the Asgardians.
"Now, I am invincible!"
"As a thank you, I will grant you death!"
Surtur swung the thousands-of-meters-tall Twilight Sword, a force of immeasurable power that smoothly sliced through a nearby thousand-meter mountain.
It carried a monstrous demonic might, like a super volcano erupting with energy accumulated over billions of years.
The scorching lava rained down, melting the ice and transforming the land into a domain of lava.
His roar was deafening like thunder, instantly shattering the sky and tearing apart the boundless dark clouds!
But Aaron remained unmoved.
"Grant me death? You, are not worthy!"
"Absolute Zero!"
Aaron silently chanted in his mind, and the characteristic power of the Casket of Ancient Winters instantly erupted!
The already precarious domain of ice and snow solidified once more.
And the thousands-of-meters-tall Surtur, before he could even react, was frozen by a force of absolute zero that erupted from Aaron's body!
The mountain-like Twilight Sword was also frozen in mid-air, unable to fall any further.
Even though Surtur possessed the power to destroy stars, he was temporarily unable to break through the power that froze space and time.
Time seemed to stand still at this moment.
Aaron instantly appeared thousands of meters high, stepping on Surtur's crown and placing his hand on it.
"Melt for me!"
The primordial furnace, like a black hole, spun rapidly. The immobile Surtur was completely unable to escape the attack of the primordial furnace. Soon, the Eternal Crown, larger than a house, was half-melted, and even a large chunk of Surtur's body disappeared.
"Hmm? The power of the Eternal Flame is still resisting the power of Absolute Zero?"
Aaron frowned. Surtur, combined with the Eternal Flame, was indeed not to be underestimated.
Although he had only expended a very small portion of his energy to use Absolute Zero, Surtur was slowly resisting the power of ice by continuously releasing energy from the Eternal Flame.
Perhaps in a few more minutes, Surtur might truly break free.
"That's right, the Eternal Flame and the Casket of Ancient Winters are artifacts of the same caliber, and they counteract each other. Simply using a portion of the ice power to kill Surtur is completely unrealistic..."
"Since that's the case, then this is where it ends today."
Aaron withdrew his hand, then condensed a more powerful force in his hand.
He lightly pushed out his right hand, and with Surtur's remaining body as the center, the surrounding space instantly collapsed inward!
In the blink of an eye, a black hole with a diameter of several hundred meters formed, greedily and uncontrollably absorbing everything around it!
The surrounding ground was stripped and torn by the force of spatial tearing, and broken mountains were also shredded by the space!
The force of gravity restrained the roaring Surtur. He struggled for only a few seconds, and then, along with an area of hundreds of thousands of meters, formed a massive semicircular hollow abyss!
Surtur, the Eternal Flame, and his Eternal Crown had all been completely annihilated by space, leaving nothing behind.
Aaron then began to summarize his gains.
[Gigantification (Eternal Surtur Full Version): Under the continuous provision of eternal energy, you will be able to continuously grow infinitely larger, and your power will also increase exponentially (the specific size depends on the amount of energy).]
[King of Fire Giants (Titan) Power: Detected similar abilities have been fused (Frost Giant bloodline, Stone Giant bloodline), you have obtained the inherited power of the giant race (Fragment of Primordial Giant Power), physical strength is further enhanced, resistance to magic energy is further enhanced, and you can freely manipulate the power of ice, fire, and earth.]
"Primordial Giant Power? Is it the power of Ymir, the first giant?"
Aaron was a little surprised.
The mutually exclusive powers of ice and fire had strangely fused together, along with the Stone Giant bloodline he had previously fused.
"Perhaps the data for the Frost Giant and Stone Giant bloodlines weren't rich enough, so it's a fragmented Primordial Giant Power?"
Aaron fell into thought, he vaguely sensed that the earth was continuously providing him with energy.
This should be the ability brought by the Stone Giant Power.
If he could smelt more giants, would he be able to complete the Primordial Giant Power, thereby gaining another energy source?
Then his growth rate would rapidly increase!
"Hmm, I'll try it when I get a chance. Perhaps… I should also pay a visit to Laufey."
Aaron made up his mind.
Loki's Frost Giant king bloodline was too scarce, completely malnourished.
And Surtur, as a Fire Giant, surely had very complete data in this regard.
The last one, the Stone Giant, was a bit troublesome.
As far as he knew, Stone Giants existed in Vanaheim, but they were few in number, and he hadn't heard of any traces of a Stone Giant King.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head and stopped overthinking.
Things would work themselves out. Maybe there were other giants?
He casually activated dark energy, opening a spatial teleportation channel to return to Asgard.
As soon as he returned, he saw Sif leaning by the bed.
Then a fire rose within his body.
Aaron's heart tightened. Was it Surtur's hatred for Asgard influencing him?
He would absolutely not admit that it was his desire to experiment with a new ability.
"Sif, do you want to experience double the pleasure?"
Sif looked utterly bewildered.
With a thought, Aaron shared his tactile sensations with Sif.
This was Heimdall's sensory sharing ability.
After acquiring this ability, Aaron had been wondering if, during certain special activities, he could allow the other person to experience the stimulation of two people.
As the smartest person on Earth 3.6, and a lover of practical application, Aaron naturally couldn't wait to try it out with Sif.
As soon as his hand touched Sif, she immediately felt a different sensation.
So soft, so comfortable… Oh my, so warm, so fulfilling!
Oh no!
On the other side,
The three on the Rainbow Bridge simultaneously fell into silence.
"I didn't see that wrong, did I?"
"Aaron killed Surtur?"
"That power of his… it could probably destroy Asgard in an instant!"
Thor was referring to Asgard's main city. Aaron's single move could destroy most Asgardians!
He couldn't imagine what the result would be if Aaron flew into the sky and did that.
He feared that everything he knew would be gone!
"That is… the power of space!"
Odin's expression was grave. Facing the power of that black hole, even he might not last longer than Surtur.
No, he couldn't survive!
Unless he could dodge it beforehand!
This was no longer something a pure physical body could resist.
Only a more terrifying power could break free from the force of space.
But Aaron's spatial collapse, though not large in scope, was precisely because of its extreme condensation, leading to an exponential increase in destructive power in the central region.
This black hole, only a few hundred meters in diameter, even if Odin and Thor were thrown into it together, might not be enough to plug it.
And…
