The moment the Prism Crystal appeared, a vast, majestic aura filled the entire temple.
This was the source of Asgard's divine kingdom.
After Odin, the God King, vanished, Thor, the first heir, had taken temporary control of Asgard's source. He had kept it hidden within this temple all along.
The illusory light radiating from the Prism Crystal bathed the temple in shimmering colors, making it seem to sway endlessly between illusion and reality. Bragi hugged the amethyst and looked up at the magnificent source, tears welling up once more in his reddened eyes.
He had found it...
The hope of reviving Idunn was right here!
My beloved Idunn, wait just a little longer... We'll be reunited soon.
Bragi's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Bragi, give me Idunn's soul." Standing beneath Asgard's source, Thor held out his hand to Bragi.
Bragi instinctively clutched the crystal in his hands tighter, as if afraid someone would snatch it away. But after struggling for a moment, he slowly handed it over and carefully placed it in Thor's palm.
He stared into Thor's eyes and said in an incomparably solemn tone, enunciating every word:
"Thor, I'll trust you one last time... Take good care of her for me."
"Don't worry." Thor nodded with equal seriousness.
Holding the purple crystal, he gently raised it. The crystal floated up to the ceiling on its own, slowly merging into the source drifting within the Illusory Sea before vanishing from sight.
"Using the source to nurture Idunn's body will probably take more than ten days." Verdandi spoke with a complicated expression. "Bragi, let's go for now. When the time is right, we'll come back for your wife."
Bragi stood there in his dark golden formal attire, his eyes fixed on the source, a trace of tenderness appearing in them.
