Warriors of Asgard

A few minutes later.

Seven thousand five hundred Spaceships suddenly appeared around the battlefield.

All manner of lasers immediately fired at the Asgardian Gods' warships.

At the same time, several hatches opened, and new interstellar behemoths emerged one after another, with the Black Order following close behind.

The appearance of the Black Order immediately relieved much of the pressure on the front lines of Thanos's fleet.

Thanos, who had originally wanted to take action personally, abandoned the thought as well.

Although the Asgardian warriors were powerful and outnumbered them, if things continued like this, they would sooner or later be wiped out after losing their Spaceships.

From the flagship, Odin surveyed the entire battle through a projection and immediately noticed that his warriors were dying at an alarming rate.

Even his heart of stone began to ache.

After all, the Asgardians reproduced rather slowly.

Ordinary Asgardians could have at most one child a year. It took thirty years to grow up, and at least another ten years to become a qualified warrior.

In other words, it took forty years to train a qualified warrior.

More advanced warriors, such as the Warriors Three, required more than a century of training.

The royal bloodline was even more outrageous.

Just look at his son. Thor was already three hundred years old and still acted like a child.

So even if he was cold and ruthless, he had to avoid the deaths of his warriors for the sake of Asgard's rule.

With that in mind, he gripped Gungnir and flew out of the flagship. Then, a powerful beam of light shot from the divine weapon.

This energy shockwave moved at nearly the speed of light. In just a few seconds, it crossed more than a million kilometers and struck the enemy fleet.

At that moment, the Escort Ships at the front of Thanos's fleet activated their shields one after another.

But no matter how powerful the Escort Ships' energy shields were, they could not withstand Odin, a Celestial Father-level powerhouse.

The next instant, Odin's energy blast pierced through the Escort Ships' energy shields and erupted into a ball of fire.

Though the rumbling explosions could not reach anyone's ears in space, everyone watching could imagine the sound for themselves.

Odin immediately shifted targets and attacked the next Escort Ship.

In less than half a minute, he destroyed more than a dozen Escort Ships, until a large Escort Ship blocked his attack.

Odin immediately gritted his teeth and increased his energy output.

In an instant, the energy fired from Gungnir expanded from half a meter in diameter to a full meter.

Faced with such tremendous power, the large Escort Ship could no longer endure and exploded into a blossom of fire.

Clearly, even a large Escort Ship could not withstand the full output of a Celestial Father-level being.

Just as Odin was preparing to press his advantage, a purple figure appeared, rapidly spinning the weapon in his hand and blocking the energy blast.

When the shockwaves struck the weapon, they scattered like water crashing against a boulder before vanishing into space.

Odin's pupils constricted at the sight.

He knew he had encountered a worthy opponent.

"Who are you?"

Of course, sound could not travel through space, but at their level, such rules were essentially irrelevant.

As the words fell, Odin stopped his energy blast.

Thanos stopped spinning Tyrant's Blade and said flatly, "I am Thanos."

The moment he heard the name Thanos, Odin's expression changed.

Although the Milky Way had closed itself off from the outside world, Odin still retained a seat on the Council of Gods as one of the gods. Thus, he could learn some news of the universe from gods of other factions.

Among that news, Thanos had undoubtedly been the biggest story of the past few centuries.

He was ruthless and powerful.

In particular, his tyrannical rule had plunged the people under his control into misery, leaving them without the slightest freedom.

Odin had once mocked the gods of the Panlong Galaxy for being unable to deal with even a single Eternal. He had never expected that Thanos would now invade his own galaxy.

"Thanos, retreat now, and I will forgive the past and let you leave."

Thanos revealed a faintly mocking smile and said calmly, "Let me leave? Do you have the right to say that?"

Odin's expression turned ugly upon hearing that.

Damn it. He would make this man understand what the wrath of a god was.

But before he could speak, Thor, who was having the time of his life slaughtering enemies in the distance, was already dissatisfied.

Waving Mjolnir, he said angrily, "Mortal, how dare you speak to the King of Gods like that? I think you are tired of living."

As the prince of the Asgardians, whenever he went out, every race treated him like an ancestor, terrified of offending him.

Over time, he had come to believe from the bottom of his heart that he was superior to everyone else, viewing all other races as mere ants.

And now, an ant had dared to speak to his father god like that. How could that not enrage him?

Just as Thor was about to charge over, the Warriors Three moved even faster.

"Purple giant, apologize to our God King now, or we'll kill you!"

"That's right. Kneel and apologize. If we're in a good mood, we might spare you."

"Purple Potato, don't fail to appreciate our kindness. We are the famous Warriors Three of Asgard."

Thanos ignored the three warriors and looked at Odin instead.

In his eyes, only that old man with one foot in the grave was worthy of being his opponent. The others did not even deserve his notice.

Seeing themselves ignored, the Warriors Three became even more enraged and decided to teach him a lesson personally.

They quickly flew near Thanos, gripped their weapons, and charged at him.

Odin narrowed his eyes at the sight but did not stop them.

Clearly, he intended to use the Warriors Three to test Thanos's strength.

The Warriors Three were named Fandral, Hogun, and Volstagg.

Fandral was the strongest among them. He was a blond, blue-eyed white man who wielded a longsword.

Volstagg was slightly weaker. He was a fat man over two meters tall who wielded a massive double-headed axe.

Although Hogun was the weakest of the three and was not an Asgardian, he knew some mysterious magic and wielded a spiked mace.

All three had reached the planetary level. They were considered second-tier figures among the Asgardians, so it was no wonder they were so arrogant.
