Marvel With Zanpakutou-Chapter 717: The Ancient 10th Kingdom
Chapter 717 - The Ancient 10th Kingdom
Asgard, Immortal Palace.
After two consecutive fierce wars, the territory of the Asa Protoss was almost half destroyed.
The once beautiful home that seemed like a fairyland outside the world is now completely reduced to ruins under the trampling of the war, and the sight is full of scars, pungent gunpowder smoke and burning flames, which make every Asa people feel heartbroken.
Soon, the casualty statistics of the war were handed over to Thor.
The 12,000 well-trained elite soldiers had almost been completely wiped out after this battle. There were only about a hundred and twenty people left. This was the most disastrous casualty since Asgard entered the period of peace.
As for the loss of buildings and weapons, it was simply shocking to Thor.
If even the soldiers had suffered such heavy losses, the civilians could be imagined.
Thor flipped to the next page in horror, but he was pleasantly surprised to find that there were only a few hundred casualties among the civilians, and most of them were heavily injured and not dead. They would quickly recover after being treated.
But, how did he do it?
"Thanks to you in the future, the casualties among the civilians are so low."
Sif, who silently came to Thor, said with half happiness and half emotion, "If he had not released Loki and moved all the civilians to the forbidden area in the back mountain in advance, the number of casualties this time would have increased by more than ten times."
"Loki."
At the mention of this younger brother, Thor felt both love and hate. His heart was filled with complicated emotions.
"Don't worry, Loki. He has become different." Sif knew what he was thinking. He patted his shoulder and comforted, "Although I don't know what you will say in the future, he did protect the people of Asgard."
"Yeah, yeah, Thor, you don't know, Loki is like a different person!" Vorstagg walked over with a big belly, his face full of stubble was glowing red with excitement: "To If Loki hadn't stepped forward and stopped the artillery fire on the evacuated people, I'm afraid at least a few thousand people would have died."
"He... took the initiative to stop the artillery fire?"
Thor had a strange look on his face. He had a ridiculous feeling.
"Loki is fine. He was just seriously injured. He is now lying in the healing pod to heal." Sif comforted, "However, thanks to his illusion, he managed to confuse the Dark Elves' fleet and bought us precious time to retreat."
Thor was a little confused and couldn't figure it out. Was this really the Loki he knew?
However, he quickly reacted. There were more important things to do now, so he had to take Lod to see his father. He handed over the follow-up matters to Sif, turned around, and gave Viking Thor a look.
Viking Thor immediately understood his meaning. He looked at Lod and whispered, "Come with us. Father is inside."
At present, the news that Odin was on the verge of death had not been officially spread.
Moreover, in order to maintain the stability of the situation, they had to keep this secret and could not let anyone else know.
Lod put his hands in his sleeves and followed the two into the depths of the palace.
After arriving at the deepest palace, Thor went over and opened the Luhn Restriction. After forcefully pushing open the heavy door, he took a deep look at Lod and said with a complicated tone, "Go in. Father is waiting for you inside."
"Thank you ---"
Lod smiled and thanked him. He was not worried that there was no trap and went straight into the bedroom.
"You are finally here."
At this time, Odin was already very weak. He had a very skinny appearance. He looked like he was about to die of old age. His cloudy eyes looked at Lod. He said weakly, "If you were a bit slower, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to hold on."
"Your situation..."
Although he had already guessed it in his heart, when he saw it, Lod could not help but feel sad.
"Don't worry about me."
Odin was already weak enough to say a word,
They had to wait a while. "I don't have much time left. I called you over. There are a few things I have to tell you."
"Tell me, I'm listening."
Lod walked over and half-knelt down. He made Odin not need to exert any effort to look up. Then, he held the skinny palm and slowly healed it with the power of his reply. He also nourished the old man's body that was about to be frozen.
"Thank you. I feel much better."
A hint of gentleness appeared in Odin's eyes, and his breathing became a little stronger. "After I met you, I had reached a certain agreement with Ancient One. The reason I gave you the aether particles was because I wanted to change our fates."
Fate again...
Lod frowned slightly. This was the second time he had heard it.

He heard it from Ancient One before, comparing them to the puppets of fate, implying that their actions are like being tied with invisible threads, dancing the planned dance non-stop, and the end is the curtain call.
Originally, he did not care much about it, but now he heard it from Odin.
Fate.
It seemed to have some deeper meaning.
"You don't need to ask about the contents of my agreement."
Odin interrupted Lod who was about to ask a question and continued, "At least I can't tell you now. In the future, if possible, Ancient One might tell you everything, but it definitely won't be now."
Lod frowned. He hated this kind of riddle the most.
"But you can rest assured that no matter what purpose we have, we will never hurt you." Odin's eyes were extremely sincere, making it impossible to doubt his words. "No matter whether you succeed or not in the end, it will not affect your future. This is just our struggle."
Seeing the old man's eyes that were about to die, Lod sighed and said, "I believe in you. What about the other things?"
"The second thing is about the tenth country."
Odin straightened his spine with a slight force, and clenched Lord tightly with his skinny palms, and said solemnly: "Must...don't let them return, otherwise the whole universe will be destroyed again. Back to the dark chaos, you must stop them!"
With the honorable status of a god king, three 'millions' are used.
Combined with the fact that Gabriel had specifically descended to the lower realm to warn him earlier, it could be seen how dangerous that 'ten country' was. Lod's heart could not help but tighten.
"God King, can you tell me what that tenth country is?" Lod asked the doubt in his heart.
"The Tenth Nation has existed for an extremely long time."
A look of fear appeared in Odin's eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Even the first God King, Frank, does not know their specific situation. He only warned me before he died that we must not allow them to return. Otherwise, the universe will return to darkness and chaos."
"Is there anything else?"
Lod was a little speechless. After going around for a while, he still did not say anything.
"Don't worry, let me slow down a little."
Odin gasped for several breaths in a row, and then slowly said: "We call those lizardmen 'Anunnaki', and the tenth celestial body they are on is called 'Nibiru', which is a whole body A huge dark red planet."
"They once descended on Earth six thousand years ago and left behind their legends and civilization ruins."
"In the Middle East on Earth today, there is an ancient civilization called 'Akkad' in the Mesopotamia."
"The Anunnaki... seem to know how to control the World Tree."
"My father King Boer deceived the Anunnaki and obtained the power of the god king bestowed by the world tree."
"But after realizing that they were cheated, the Anunnaki brought an eternal terrible curse to the Aesir."
"That is... Nidhogg and the Twilight of the Gods!"
