The two surviving godly clans would remember this sight for the rest of their lives.
Reflected in the eyes of the two clans' gods was a slanting golden thread. It had come from beyond the heavens, shining brightly as it hung alone in the void. At last, it plunged down and vanished among the peaks of Vanaheim's mountains.
After a few brief seconds of silence, the vast plane split right down the middle. Its dimensional barrier shattered as easily as a soap bubble. Mountains weighing millions of tons broke apart with a thunderous crash, scattering everywhere like a pile of blocks kicked over by a child. Countless fragments even splashed against the World Tree's branches.
Once the entire continent of Vanaheim had broken apart, something hideous was revealed at the very center of the plane: a mass that looked like twisted flesh mixed with a great deal of unrefined metal ore.

Athena's mouth twitched. Could it be that Lein never planned to spare your home in the first place?
Of course, the Outer Gods didn't see it that way.
