This was Odin and Surtur's strongest strike.
It was not their first time fighting.
They knew each other well.
There was no need for pointless probing.
So, their first strike was also their strongest.
And then,
it would most likely be their final strike as well.
Therefore,
no matter what they said, neither of them was careless in action.
Odin raised Gungnir high, aimed it at Surtur, and assumed the stance to throw it.
Surtur, meanwhile, gripped the Twilight Sword with both hands. Colorless flames rose from the blade in his grasp.
When flames became colorless, their temperature could exceed ten thousand degrees.
It was not only the temperature, but also the magical power contained within those colorless flames.
That heat even affected Earth, Midgard of the Nine Realms.
The sudden rise in temperature instantly heated the entire planet, accelerating the melting of the glaciers.
The anomaly was far too obvious. Scientists around the world immediately detected the global temperature increase. Even if it lasted only a few seconds, the resulting natural disasters could be terrifying under the butterfly effect.
Moreover, the temperature continued changing by an amount people could physically feel.
If they did not immediately find the cause and stop the change, it would become a global catastrophe. Low-lying cities such as Venice, and countries such as Japan, would eventually be swallowed by the sea.
Exaggerated, wasn't it?
This was clearly a battle taking place far away in Asgard.
It was clearly just the heat released by a powerful being.
That showed just how fragile Earth truly was.
That it had endured until now was not only due to heroes risking their lives to protect it. In the unseen currents of fate, it truly had luck on its side.
Odin and Surtur were preparing.
Thor was not idle
