Chapter 259: Was there a war in Asgard that almost destroyed it?
Thor, who was outside the screen, heard this and nodded seriously. In fact, for him, becoming a king has never been his goal. He wished that someone could become the king of Asgard, and then he could be a general charging into battle, so that he could be happy all his life.
If Loki does his best, he actually doesn't care.
However, no matter what, this position must not be given to this suddenly appearing sister, because she is not a good monarch and cannot make all the people happy. She may even just want to turn the entire Asgard into a country of death.
At this time, as the son of Odin, he must stand up and defend the entire Asgard. This is his responsibility, whether he is willing or not, whether he may die or not.
And Hela manifested her own helmet, ready for battle, and said, "Well, that's my throne!"
Thor stood up from his throne, then walked down quickly and said, "My father once told me that a wise king never starts a war!"
Hela continued, "But he must always be ready to fight!"
The two sides had fundamentally different ideas, so of course they couldn't reach an agreement at this time. In an instant, a fight broke out.
At this time, the picture did not continue to show the two sides of the battle, but turned to the outside. On the Rainbow Bridge, countless people of Asgard evacuated from the Rainbow Bridge as if they were fleeing.
But they couldn't evacuate at all. A huge beast, as big as a hill, blocked one end of the Rainbow Bridge, blocking everyone's escape route.
Probably no one expected that this paradise country that had been peaceful for who knows how many years would be engulfed in war.
"Giant wolf, Fenrir?" Agent Hill said. She was a little unsure, but judging by the size, it did look very similar.
Then everyone looked at Thor, and Thor said with an innocent look on his face: "I don't know either. I have never seen the mythical giant wolf Fenrir!"
He later looked up this information, but he didn't know why humans on Earth could know so many things that even he didn't know.
For example, the giant wolf Fenrir.
But he really had never seen it.
Obviously, the giant wolf Fenrir is most likely on his sister's side.
"I see, Thor is stalling for time!"
Captain America Rogers immediately understood after combining the previous and next scenes.
"Combined with the fact that Hela crushed Thor's hammer before, and that she used the Rainbow Bridge to return to Asgard, it seems that the people of Asgard were unwilling to submit to the rule of this female tyrant and wanted to escape Asgard!" Captain America Rogers analyzed.
Everyone nodded, this was the most likely scenario.
I just don't know how Thor, who was knocked out of the Rainbow Bridge, returned to Asgard.
But I understand it generally.
"So Thor is using his own life to delay time so that his people can escape!" Captain America Rogers looked at Thor, and was obviously impressed by Thor's selfless behavior.
Although he has always looked down upon those nobles.
Although some nobles have a sense of honor, most of them are rotten. He saw a lot of this when he led his army to Europe.
Basically, if the private debauchery of most aristocrats were to be exposed, it would probably disgust the public for a hundred years.
Although Thor is a god, he is essentially still a prince. Now seeing that he is willing to sacrifice his life for his people, he also feels a little respect for him.
Seeing the admiring eyes of the crowd, Thor wanted to be proud, but he still realized that this was in extreme danger. He quickly said: "As the prince of Asgard, no, the king of Asgard, protecting my people is what I should do!"
Referring to the length of the hair, he roughly knew that this should be the timeline after his father's death. Although he had just lost his father at that time, he didn't even have time to be sad, and he had to do his best to protect his people.
What made him even more sad was that according to Lin Feng, he had almost failed to protect anything.
Asgard was not saved and most of its people died.
I have never lived up to my father's expectations.
At this moment, in the picture, when everyone was about to suffer, a spaceship flew over and directly blocked the giant wolf Fenrir with artillery fire, but it could only stop it for a while.
What surprised everyone was that they saw Bruce Banner in this spaceship.
Everyone thought about it for a while and thought that Thor might have used some unknown method in the arena to directly wake up Bruce Banner and then brought him to Asgard.
This also corresponds to the fact that Bruce Banner was later teleported directly to Earth by the Rainbow Bridge.
"I understand now. It must be Thor who found a way to wake me up and then brought me to Asgard. Later, Asgard experienced Ragnarok and I was teleported to Earth. But now there is still a doubt. Why am I in that arena?" Bruce Banner said a little puzzled.
"Is it possible you were captured?" Tony Stark paused, then said. "What's the name of the owner of that arena? The Supreme Lord? Could he be a powerful cosmic force, recruiting powerful warriors to duel in the arena for his own amusement and the amusement of his guests? You know, look at the Colosseum in ancient Rome, it's pretty similar. Perhaps the Hulk's fame has spread throughout the universe?"
After hearing this explanation, Bruce Banner felt that it made sense and was very possible.
However, he felt his hair stand on end. If this was true, he might be caught by Gao Tianzun again in the future.
And it sounds like he'll be forced to become the Hulk for years.
This is not a good thing!
In the picture, in addition to the giant wolf Fenrir, there is also an army of the Skeleton King Lingda, and the leader is Skorki, whom everyone has seen in the scene where Thor defeated the fire giant Surtur.
Because of his negligence, Thor was almost killed.
"This damn guy, he neglected his duties. It's good enough that I didn't punish him. He even dared to betray Asgard!" Thor was furious.
He was already very angry about Skorch's sentencing, but he was also very curious about the original guardian Heimdall.
"Asgardians, is that all?"
Tony Stark complained, "It looks like there aren't even 10,000 people here. Is this Asgard?"
Everyone thought it was outrageous. The Asgardians dominated the universe and were a famous overlord-level civilization, but there were only so few people.
Well, although many may have been slaughtered, it is still too few.
Just look at how many people there are on Earth and you'll understand: the population is too small.
"In fact, the population of Asgard was not so small originally, but later it experienced a great war. My father Odin and my sister Hela had a great battle, which eventually led to the loss of all the elite troops. The population loss has not recovered until now!" Thor recounted this astonishing past.
Originally, this was Asgard's secret and should not be leaked, otherwise everyone would be able to see Asgard's weakness. However, these are not outsiders and we will still have to deal with them in the future.
Everyone couldn't help but frown. They had seen the confrontation between Odin and Hela. Although it was in another timeline, Odin easily deprived Hela of her divine power and exiled her to Earth.
But come to think of it, the situation on the divine timeline is another matter.
It was not so easy for Odin to suppress Hela. Not only did a battle break out between the top leaders of the two sides, but even the armies of both sides were involved.
Odin must have paid a huge price to suppress Hela.
For a smart person like Tony Stark, this undoubtedly explains a lot of things, such as why there are so few people in Asgard, and most of them seem to be ordinary people, and why they are even invaded by dark elves, and they have to hesitate to fight a frost giant.
Such a reputation makes it a prestigious cosmic-level force, because the true essence of Asgard was destroyed in that battle.
That's why Odin stopped conquering the Nine Realms and was content with the current state of division. He even didn't care much about the Earth, which he claimed to be his territory.
Now think about it, was it because Odin had had enough of fighting and wanted to enjoy peace that he finally had a huge conflict with Hela, or was it the other way around, because he first had a war for dominance with Hela, suffered heavy losses in order to suppress Hela, and finally had to take the peaceful route, eventually forming a situation where the nine realms nominally belonged to Asgard but were actually independent of each other?
It's hard to say!
However, these people were completely different from the powerful civilization of Captain America per capita in the delegation sent by Asgard that he and others had recently heard about. There were so many old, weak, sick and disabled people that they had no combat effectiveness.
With this level of combat power, even the Earth civilization might not be able to defeat it.
Now all the mysteries have been solved, because the fierce conflict that broke out before was not limited to the conflict between Odin and Hela, but a battle between two extremely terrifying elite forces on both sides, comrades who once fought side by side.
Most of the real elites have died, and now Asgard is just relying on a tiger skin to scare people. The only thing it can really rely on is Odin's terrifying reputation as a father figure.
"Does this god-level master really have such a big influence?" Tony Stark couldn't help but say.
Obviously, the main reason why Asgard can still stand is because of the father-like boss Odin.
All I can say is that the civilization on the magical side and the civilization on the technological side are completely different things.
