"This is... incredible," Jane said in astonishment, then picked up a soda can and tossed it high into the air.
The can did indeed vanish, but even after waiting for quite a while, it never fell back down.
"What's going on?"
"The space is unstable. If nothing unexpected happened, that can was left behind in some other space. It might not even be on Earth."
Jane fell into thought. "Tell us what you know."
"The reason spatial anomalies like this are appearing on Earth is because a cosmic phenomenon that occurs once every few thousand years is about to take place. The Nine Realms upon the World Tree will converge. When that happens, the spatial distance between the Nine Realms will cease to exist.
Put simply, gateways to the other eight realms will appear on Earth, and those eight doors are very likely to appear in the same place."
"Gateways?" Daisy forced a smile. "Like the one that appeared over Manhattan Island?"
"It's not impossible, but there's no need to worry too much.
Odin is still alive. The All-Father rules over the Nine Realms, so they won't dare act rashly.

"Hey! You just said it's a cosmic phenomenon that only happens once every few thousand years. Do you really think
