Odin's abdication?
To be honest, this news had been predicted many years ago. After all, no matter how heaven-defying Odin was, he was still human and would die one day.
But the moment this news was announced.
It could only be described in one sentence: the Nine Realms shook!
It was not an exaggeration, this was the truth.
All the countries in the Nine Realms knew that during Odin's rule, they were all being sucked by Asgard. Many countries and even civilizations had threatened to overthrow Asgard's rule led by Odin.
But in reality?
The countries, planets, and civilizations of the Nine Realms.
Except for a few powerful ones like Earth, most of them could not leave Asgard because unknowingly, Asgard had become a huge monster.
Most civilizations only had two choices. One was to give up their home in the Nine Realms and head to an unknown world that had not been touched by Asgard.
The other choice was to submit to Asgard.
For those who were lucky, like Earth, when their strength reached a certain level, Earth would no longer be Asgard's slave. The relationship between them could change from slave and slave master to cooperation.
For those who were unlucky and could not get up, they could only choose to listen and accept Asgard's sucking.
Even if you knew that this cooperation was not fair, the reality was cruel.
Because other than accepting, you had no other choice.
But this was not the scariest part. The scariest part was that with Odin's abdication, Asgard's God King would be Thor, and Asgard's Chief Consul was called Evil God Loki.
Evil God?
This name inexplicably gave everyone a bad feeling, and this feeling originated from the Dark Age many years ago, the Asgard Princess who was forcefully suppressed by Odin — Death Goddess Hela!
Coincidentally, Asgard was also in a special period of political change at that time.
Odin, who had just become Asgard's God King, listened to his daughter Hela's suggestion in his unprecedented arrogance, and this suggestion was to conquer the Nine Realms.
Although Asgard was the ruler of the Nine Realms in name, in reality, Asgard's relationship with the Nine Realms was equivalent to that of the Emperor and the various kings.
Nominally, you were the king, and we all listened to you, but in reality, everyone lived their own lives.
If you're lucky, you can grow from an ordinary person to become the strongest vassal king. You can even fight against the Emperor's branch.
This was the relationship between the Nine Realms and Asgard back then, almost exactly the same as it was now. It was also the result of Odin's many years of careful protection, but Odin and Hila did not think so at that time.
What they were thinking was, why should I be the king in name?
And why can't I turn the Nine Realms into Asgard?
With this thought in mind, Odin and Hel began their plan to conquer the Nine Worlds.
To be honest, it was very smooth at first. Asgard's strength was there for all to see. Almost half of the territory of the Nine Realms was occupied by Asgard.
However, as Odin and Hila's actions became bigger and bigger, their target was gradually exposed. The problem was, at that time, the two of them no longer cared.
After all, more than half of the Nine Realms' territory had been swallowed by Asgard at that time.
However, what happened next exceeded Odin's and Hel's expectations.
Not only the remaining civilizations that had not been conquered, but even the civilizations that had been converted stood up.
Odin did not understand, and Hila did not understand either. Then, they launched a crazy revenge and bloody suppression. However, what the two of them did not expect was that the rebels, who had given up after a little beating in the past, would be so crazy this time.
It was as if they could not kill all of them.
In fact, this matter was very easy to understand. Although Asgard sucked blood before, it at least gave everyone hope. Although this hope was very slim and even a little cruel, it was still hope in the end.
However, what if Asgard was the only voice in the Nine Realms?
Think about it, Asgard ordered that shit was delicious, and they should eat shit.
The countries of the Nine Realms, big and small, had to issue this decree because it was Asgard's order.
You don't listen?
Why don't you listen?
Asgard's general direction was that shit was delicious. In order to live, you could only issue a decree to eat shit.
Because of the decree, the citizens of this country could only eat shit. Because other countries also encouraged eating shit, everyone could only eat shit.
However, was shit delicious?
Shit was not delicious. Those who were not willing to eat shit would eventually choose to leave.
What was the capital that countries and civilizations relied on to survive?
It was those who were not willing to eat shit, or those who were willing to eat shit for you!
Asgard was very important. This behemoth could protect itself, but what was really important was the people.
That was why the countries of the Nine Realms rebelled.
What they were afraid of was not that there was no hope, because as long as they were still alive, there must be hope. What they were really afraid of was that one day, you would have to personally take shit and stuff it into the mouths of those who supported you.
Why did the Qin Dynasty die for two generations?
Was it because of tyranny?
No, tyranny was just a facade. The key was the policy of the Qin Dynasty. As the first dynasty to unify the six countries, Emperor Qin's arrogance and power were enough to make him unscrupulous, but in the end, it still destroyed the kingdom that he personally created.
Capital Monster?
In fact, the ancestors understood this principle many years ago, and saw it more thoroughly. That was why there was a classic saying: Separation for a long time must be united, and unity for a long time must be divided!
The Qin Dynasty that died for two generations was like this, and so was the Han Dynasty that lived for 407 years.
This was a cycle, and no one could change it. The only thing that could be done was to prolong it. This was something that the Zhou Dynasty, which lived for more than 800 years, did very well.
For things like power, the bigger, the better. This was because if it was too big, it would inflate, and the result of inflating was self-destruction.
Fortunately, in the later stages of that bloody suppression, Odin understood this principle.
He was a smart person, so Odin understood that even if he took over the Nine Realms, when he died, Asgard would not be able to escape the end of the Qin Dynasty.
Not to mention whether Hila was suitable for the position of the King of Gods, even if she could rely on bloody means to suppress the Nine Realms, what would happen after Hila died?
Give you a set of numbers and give you unlimited time, and one day, you would be able to win five million.
Asgard had become stronger, but Asgard had also become more dangerous.
It was like hanging a lit bomb under your pants. You were really powerful, and anyone who saw you would run away, but don't forget, the bomb would explode one day.
Of course, Odin could continue to conquer. After all, the universe was so big, and the Nine Realms could become the Ninety-Nine Realms, but the universe had its limits.
The stronger Asgard was, the more power he had. And when he lost control of his power, the stronger the backlash would be.
Therefore, Odin was really a very smart person. He gave up the great goal that he had once imagined with his daughter and no longer thought about conquering the Nine Realms. He even gave up a large amount of territory that he had already conquered and chose to suck blood like in the beginning.
Hila scolded Odin for being a coward.
This was because she did not understand why Odin, who was as brave as her back then, would become a coward overnight. One had to know that in the ancient language, the word 'Odin' meant 'crazy' or 'violent'.
Odin thought about whether he should explain it to his daughter or not.
But in the end, he gave up. Not everyone could think from Odin's point of view.
He needed to sacrifice someone to offset the anger of the Nine Realms in this incident. In other words, he needed to find a reason that everyone could accept, so that the countries and civilizations of the Nine Realms would once again accept the reality of being sucked blood by Asgard.
What if he could not find this reason?
Asgard was very strong, but this did not mean that Asgard was irreplaceable.
At the same time, Odin also needed to deal with internal problems.
War brought benefits, and benefits bred power, and power would eventually lead to Asgard's crazy expansion and eventual destruction.
Therefore, there was Hila versus the Valkyrie Army.
If Odin only wanted to suppress Hila, why did he not do it himself but instead let the Valkyrie Army do it first?
It had to be known that the Odin back then was not this old Odin now.
Therefore, everything was very simple. The Valkyrie Army was given to Hila to kill.
On one hand, it blocked the mouths of most people in the Nine Realms. After all, Hila was Odin's daughter, and he had sacrificed an elite army of Asgard.
On the other hand, it solved the internal problems and dispelled the ambitions of most people. At the same time, it left Asgard with enough strength to continue sucking the blood of the Nine Realms.
And now, it was time for Asgard to change power again.
What happened back then, would it happen again this time?
To be honest, no one knew, but most people would rather have their blood sucked than let what happened back then happen again. People could not die. Just like leeks, after one crop was cut, there would be another crop.
But people were still gone in the end.
Just like the Artemis Temple in Turkey, with modern technology, one could completely rebuild it, but it was gone.
Although from a rational point of view, it was just a set of data.
But other than robots, no one could be absolutely rational.
However, as the protagonist of this storm, the current King of Gods, Thor, did not stay in Asgard.
At this moment, he did not stay in Asgard. Instead, he appeared on Earth with Najini, his old father Odin, and little Tang Qing.
According to Odin, he wanted to bring Thor to meet someone.
