Heimdall's Plan

The dungeon was teeming with soldiers of the Death Legion, including Hela's enormous wolf mount.

At that moment, Heimdall was strolling here with Thor, completely at ease.

This was the first time in his thousands of years of life that Thor had entered this place, and he looked around curiously at the sleeping soldiers.

"These are the armies that once fought alongside my father in the universe? The armies under Hela's command?"

Thor asked Heimdall curiously.

"You should know that Asgard, including the entire Nine Realms, can be considered a single entity. It has the human realm, the realm of gods, and Hell. It is a manifestation of a unified universe. Relying on the World Tree, the Nine Realms are essentially the prototype of a universe."

As they walked, Heimdall taught Thor some ancient knowledge.

"However, it is also because of the World Tree that the entire Nine Realms cannot truly become a single universe. This is because the World Tree is always a part of the Cosmic Origin, and we still lack many complete rules. For example, the Bifrost, although it can traverse the universe, can only construct a passage to teleport there, rather than directly reaching it like the Tesseract."

"Since it is the Cosmic Origin, it is divided into light and darkness. Light and darkness are of many kinds, but compared to light, darkness is more adept at destruction. Therefore, Asgard's most powerful war god and legions have always leaned towards the dark side. However, after the Hela incident, Odin sealed away the power of darkness."

"That's why there were so many Godhood in Asgard in ancient legends, but now a significant number are missing. I don't understand, though. I understand the lack of Hell gods, but why are even some light Godhood missing? Father clearly possessed these Godhead."

Thor was referring to Odin, who had originally given Xia Yu a piece of the Godhead of the god of war.

"That's because your father needed enough power to fight the darkness. Asgard is a unified whole, All-Father is merely the controller of these Source power. The origin of Asgard is untraceable, but your father said that from the beginning of the universe, we Asgardians have had a certain mission to serve the universe. But now it seems the universe no longer needs us. This is the so-called Ragnarok."

"But your father saw fragments of the future beforehand. Xia Yu, your eldest brother, was able to preserve as much of Asgard's strength as possible during the inevitable Ragnarok. That's why you're to acknowledge him as your elder brother, and that's why we've come to this place."

As they talked, they arrived at a corner of the dungeon.

Thor noticed a relief on the wall depicting Thor grandfather leading the Asgard army in a battle against the Dark Elves.

Heimdall fumbled around on the wall for a while, then raised the Sword of the Guardian and plunged it hard into a spot on the relief.

The stone carving at the spot where Heimdall inserted the sword seems to be a disguise; it's hollow inside, just enough to accommodate the Sword of the Guardian.

Just as he activated the Bifrost, Heimdall twisted the hilt of his sword to the side.

The wall suddenly shook and slowly receded to both sides, revealing a passage more than three meters wide.

The passageway was several tens of meters long, with torches lit on both sides, and at the very end was a large door.

"I never imagined that the embers of the Eternal Flame would still exist here."

Thor thought to himself, "Was it just so that when we conquered the Realm of Fire and stole the Eternal Flame, it would be used as torches in some parts of Asgard?"

While thinking, they had already reached the end of the passage, to the door, with Heimdall.

"Alright, this door requires your family's blood to open. You need to smear some blood on it."

No sooner had Heimdall finished speaking than Thor, without hesitation, slashed his wrist fiercely across the Sword of the Guardian.

This is Thor's blood, blood that has awakened Power of Thor. A stream of red blood with a hint of gold, surrounded by Flash, suddenly gushed out.

It sprayed a large amount of liquid on the door in an instant, and even splashed Heimdall's face.

Actually, you can just cut your finger and let it bleed a little.

Heimdall spoke expressionlessly, wiping the blood from his face with his hand, his eyes revealing undisguised disgust.

Why didn't you explain this to me sooner?

Thor frantically gathered his strength to heal his wounds.

Heimdall rolled his eyes, giving him a look that said, "You're a reckless person."

The patterns on the gate resembled pipes, through which Thor's blood was slowly transported underground and disappeared.

Then, a few seconds later, the door burst open.

Inside was a large, bare hall with nothing on it, and the ground was covered with what looked like very fertile soil.

There is a silhouette of a tree about ten meters tall in the middle.

"This is the Source power of the World Tree, the core of Asgard, the key to connecting the Nine Realms. This place doesn't belong to any corner of the world; it's an unknown space. Even the Tesseract can't enter. Only those with your family's blood can."

Heimdall explained why he brought Thor here.

What's the next step?

I asked Thor asked.

"Next, we'll hold Hela back while your older brother comes in to absorb the power of the Source. Hela will then be completely destroyed."

Heimdall replied.

"What about Asgard?"

"I can't believe it, "Thor asked nervously.

"Asgard will also be completely destroyed, so we need to move the people of Asgard to a safe place."

"That's impossible?"

Thor immediately retorted.

"It's already incredibly difficult for us to hold off Hela, let alone send so many people away. Hela can't just stand by and watch us finish all this."

Thor's concerns were valid. Even Xia Yu couldn't guarantee that holding Hela would prevent her from attacking others, especially the civilians of Asgard.

The key issue is the sheer number of people; they can't possibly do it secretly in small groups.

"I just need to stall her for a little while. I'll use Dark Magic to teleport Hela directly to the Realm of Fire, then throw the Eternal Flame in there, letting her have a good fight with the Surtur, the Fire Giant."

Heimdall's considerations were very thorough.

But Thor still asked.

"Then why don't we start these plans first, send Hela to the Realm of Fire, then send away those people, and bring Big Brother here?"

"Because I'm afraid something might happen when we try to hold off Hela, and she might just kill Hela!!"

Heimdall said without any mercy.

Thor: "%￥#@&...*%#￥...%...*"
