Alvin watched Odin hold a grand, faraway-eyed kingly pose for five minutes, but nothing happened...
Taking a small step backward, Alvin looked at Frigga, then circled a finger beside his temple, asking if the old man had lost his mind.
Frigga, now relaxed, rolled her eyes in exasperation. Perhaps to save her husband from embarrassment, she gave Odin a helping hand...
The goddess of weather magic gathered a vast mass of dark clouds above Summit City, and then a light rain began to fall...
To Alvin, this kind of large-scale rain spell was only good for farming. The rainfall wasn't even enough to put out a fire...
But when the first bolt of lightning struck, all of Summit City fell silent. The veteran soldiers fighting below suddenly erupted in an excited roar. "Odin! Odin!"
"Odin! Odin!"
The battle, which had nearly reached its end, was thrown into a frenzy by the lightning, and the Asgardians' morale soared.
Even the women and children who'd taken shelter rushed out of their hideout in the mountainside...
They brought their children with them, pointed at the lightning gathering in the sky, and loudly praised their king...
Only then did Alvin realize that Asgard belonged to Odin...
As the Asgardians shouted, a golden spear shot out from the palace's tallest spire...
The golden Eternal Spear seemed to think there wasn't enough lightning in the sky. A thick bolt shot from its tip and pierced the clouds...
The lightning seemed provoked. The first bolt struck from the sky, turning a bio-engineered soldier who was still resisting into a charred corpse...
Lightning began raining down in sheets. Centered around the Eternal Spear, it fanned out like a giant broom, sweeping across all of Summit City.
Alvin couldn't speak to the lightning's power without experiencing it himself, but
