The Endless Void lay between Blue Planet and Asgard. No living beings existed here; all life had been extinguished. Aside from the boundless emptiness, only void storms raged endlessly.
An ordinary god trapped here would die of old age even if the void storms failed to kill them.
Only the Bifrost could pierce this expanse of emptiness and allow passage between the two worlds.
