Episode 401: The Beginning of the Second War
“Tyr and Thor… even though the two gods stepped forward, they couldn’t defeat the adversary? Asgard too. In this place where the limitations of our power are completely removed!”
Odin’s fury and madness reverberated through his palace.
A face full of anger.
Of course, there was a reason, but I’ve never seen him so unable to control his emotions, so Hugin and all the gods lined up looked at each other without saying anything.
This was not something they could easily understand.
He already knew that the adversary had come to Asgard. It was also the same that he disappeared from here and returned to Midgard.
From Asgard’s point of view, it was missing the opponent in their front yard.
Odin’s wrath could not but be justified.
“Even that, the only ones who felt strange in Asgard were Thor and Tyr. It is truly deplorable.”
Odin’s voice was cold as frost. The chill from his voice was enough to freeze everyone here.
Freya was also present at the urgently arranged meeting in Asgard.
Even though her face was dark, she couldn’t miss the meeting that Odin was attending anyway.
Only then can it be returned to Odin.
At that thought, her heart was pounding, but unexpectedly, she sat down colder than ever.
Parents who have lost everything feel that way sometimes.
Isn’t there such a word?
Wives who have lost their husbands There are words to call husbands who have lost their wives, but there are no words to call parents who have lost their children.
It is because that far-off pain and heartbreaking heart cannot be understood without experiencing the same situation, and those who have experienced it usually become disabled people.
The sense of betrayal that Freya is feeling right now, the sense of loss of losing a child is so great.
But she didn’t even show anything.
It may seem like he has already given up on everything, but there is no one who does not know that a calm flame is burning inside.
At least for those who know her situation.
‘It is fortunate that the two captain-level Valkyries were able to return alive. From now on, I will no longer make useless sacrifices.’
Freya swore like that. chest deep.
The embers of Brisingamen and my child’s weak souls, which are slowly dying out, continue to go out at this moment.
I won’t look back any longer.
He has already lost what he thought was his goal in life. All he sees is a huge vengeance and righting his own mistakes.
That was it.
While Freya was repeating to herself. Suddenly, a voice interrupted his thoughts.
“But it couldn’t be helped. It was because an unknown elf suddenly appeared. It was something we hadn’t even thought of.”
Those were Tyr’s words.
Odin, sitting on the throne, gave strength to the hand that held the Hlidskalp. It was a look that showed that he was angry.
“Elf?”
When Odin growled, Tyr nodded in a cold sweat.
“Yes. The elf from 10,000 years ago that was thought to be extinct.”
“At that time, you must have said that you got rid of them all. Tyr. On top of that, it would be a story that he has a tremendous status if he is able to shun you guys even for a moment… Do you think that is possible unless you are a direct descendant of the king?”
Odin’s words clearly contained the meaning of reprimand.
But even for Tyr, it was unfair. In the past war, he must have completely destroyed the kingdom of the elves.
As a result, Asgard’s soldiers are scattered throughout the elves’ empire, and the lullaby of the dead elves is still heard there.
The cries of those who could not stand their miserable hearts came from the middle like an echo. In the burnt forest and on a street that was once bustling.
But why did the surviving elves exist?
‘It’s a strange thing no matter how you think about it. The elves… especially those who were born with royal blood, were all taken care of. Does that mean the elves haven’t lost their lives yet?’
But there was something else that disturbed Tyr more than anything else.
‘That woman… she was covering her face with a robe, but somehow she was used to it.’
female. It was because the elf’s face was somehow familiar.
It was also similar to the king whom Valkyrie called herself in the past and dealt with directly.
Maybe it was Aindel?
However, unless the child is hidden, it is completely incomprehensible. Also, even if he did, it wouldn’t make sense for him to remember her face.
At the time of the encounter with the adversary. Tyr knew one thing for sure. A being that fought against himself 10,000 years ago. that he was an adversary.
The present adversary, not another being. that he was involved in the war.
There was no need to repeat that there would be a point of contact between them.
Of course, it must be related to the elf who interfered with the work this time.
“There are only pathetic things gathered. How dare you put the name of the As god and handle things only that way?”
“I have no face.”
Tyr simply apologized like that, but he didn’t look sorry at all.
So was Thor. He said, turning Mjolnir around.
“I just can’t get rid of the dirty feeling. As your father knows, how on earth did the adversary disappear from Asgard in an instant?”
“Who should know that if not the two of you who were present?”
Frigg agreed with Odin’s words and narrowed his brows.
“He is right. It’s a matter of holding the two gods accountable. …but. Not now.”
Now, Asgard has suffered quite a lot of damage.
Frigg was.
“Heimdall is dead. Our gatekeeper guarding Bifrost… is dead. The seriousness of the situation cannot be overstated.”
“Frigg is right. Heimdall was one of our main forces. He was not a man who should have suffered an absurd death.”
Even he was defeated and died at full strength.
This is despite the fact that the adversary barely intervened in the battle.
how is that possible
Nothing is known, but there must be a reason.
“Freya.”
Odin suddenly called Freyja and met her eyes.
Freyja’s pupils without even an inch of shaking collided with him. Odin was cold.
“I will start a war. Move the remaining Einherjar and Valkyries.”
“I will.”
Freyja replied coolly and sneered, and Frigg asked with a questioning expression.
“How are you listening to me today?”
It was meant as an obvious mockery, but Freyja did not waver.
“then. Do I have other options in this situation? Or shall we rip out its mouth first and then go to war?”
“I beg your pardon?! That mouth right now…!”
“Shut up. Freya, my orders are simple.”
Odin’s voice fell coldly. It was after he intervened.
“Exterminate all humans in Midgard.”

About two days later, Jaehyun returned to Midgard from Vanaheim. It didn’t take long, but he was in trouble.
hella. This is because, as soon as the guide found out that Jaehyun had been to Asgard, he jumped up and said that it was a rash decision.
“Are you insane now!?”
Hella rarely bites her tongue and grabs Jaehyun’s collar.
Jaehyun gestured to calm down, but she didn’t.
“If you make a hasty decision and die right now, what should we do?! Are you telling me to die!”
“Hello?”
Jaehyun hurriedly looked at Hell, but to no avail. She said it was Jaehyun’s fault and didn’t even think about helping him.
That wasn’t all. Smir, Jormungand Fenrir, etc…
Everyone was just nodding their heads at Hela’s reasonable anger. As a representation, it was unfair. Regarding the topic that they allowed……
Jaehyun hurriedly waved his hand and said.
“Oh no, wait a minute. No matter what, it didn’t work because it was done well, right?”
“Did you just run away after seeing Thor and Tyr?”
“Not only that, look here! Louisa. Yes, you met the direct descendant of the last royal family of elves.”
“…Even that has no meaning if you don’t live. That much… The power of prophecy is strong! Flow is, after all…”
“Isn’t that why I’m alive?”
Hella was stunned by Jae-hyun’s impudent attitude.
What can I do? It was her role as a guide to always step back when he came out so sly.
ha. After she let out a short breath, she said clearly to Jaehyun.
“Now Odin will move more properly. After Niflheim, we will go out to find the last star of the abyss hidden throughout the nine worlds.”
“Why are you doing such a hassle without attacking us directly?”
Ahn Ho-yeon asked. They were attending a meeting remotely.
It was a kind of communication magic using artifacts.
what is the reason Because of the strict rule that those who have not reached the 3rd stage of the liberation of the godhead cannot attend. Thanks to this, Jaehyun’s colleagues are having a conversation while listening to their conversation with the table on the other side.
…This is also a rule.
I’d be lying if I said I didn’t, but what can I do?
It happened because they were weak.
‘Still, I think Jaehyun did a good job copying this.’
They smiled with satisfaction as they looked at the crystal ball-shaped artifact in front of them.
This is because it was one of the artifacts Jaehyun copied from the treasure house of the gods a while ago.
A telecommunications device that enables communication between the worlds.
It was a convenient thing in many ways.
Of course, I wondered if Jaehyun needed to do this.
He thought that he might not know the society of the gods, who were also formal, but he did not say it.
Didn’t Jaehyun tell you that you always need to be careful with your mouth? Their theory was that there was nothing wrong with being careful.
Smir nodded and answered Ahn Ho-yeon’s question.
“Companion of the adversary. The reason is very simple. Because Odin is a perfectionist, he hates prophecies the most, but at the same time he is the one who trusts them the most.”
“Hate… but trust?”
Kim Yoo-jung tilted her head and put on a worried expression for a while.
Seo Na-na and Kwon So-yul and Lee Jae-sang were also in the same condition.
“Yes. in the very distant past. A prophecy came at a time when Odin had not yet risen to the pinnacle of Asgard. And that prophecy raised him to the top of the As gods.”
“In short… You’re saying that Odin was able to reach the top of Asgard thanks to the power of prophecy after all?”
When Kwon So-yul asked through the communicator, Smir nodded. Jormungandr teased his wicked tongue.
[Yes… that’s why Odin is looking for a star in the far abyss even though he has such strong power. If you collect all the pieces, the prophecy of death surrounds you.]
He raised his head and said.
[In other words, the prophecy that the adversary of the prophecy will kill him will all disappear.]
