Odin and Laufey

Under the leadership of Odin, nearly a thousand Aesir warriors charged forward, shouting and attacking like a torrent. The troll warriors on the periphery couldn't resist and were soon pushed to the center of the town, near the castle.

"Boom--"

However, as soon as they arrived, the earth shook suddenly, and the towering castle collapsed into a pile of rubble, with smoke and dust everywhere.

"Hmph, still trying to cover it up!" Odin snorted, pulling the reins, and the eight-legged horse Sleipnir carried him into the sky.

He pointed his spear directly at the sky, and dark clouds gathered, turning the sky black.

"Boom..." Thunder accumulated, and thick arcs shuttled through the dark clouds, creating a mighty thunderstorm.

"Back up!" Tyr waved his hand, and the Aesir warriors stepped back.

"Boom - boom -"

In the dark clouds, the thunder accumulated more and more, eventually forming a sea of thunder with endless arcs surging, the pale light overshadowing the brilliance of the sun.

Finally, Odin roared, and the spear shot down.

Thunder poured from the sky, forming a magnificent thunder waterfall heading straight for the collapsed castle.

"Boom!!"

Under the continuous bombardment of the Thunder Falls, a large area of land, including the castle, turned to dust, replaced by a huge pit.

In the giant pit, traces of the tunnel were visible, though it had collapsed along with the castle in the previous earthquake.

Odin was not surprised. He pointed his spear, and the thunder waterfall continued to pour down, bombarding along the tunnel's traces.

"Boom-rumble--"

The thunder waterfall swept across the ground, leaving a deep ravine that exposed the collapsed tunnel sections.

The tunnel traces extended to both sides, with the castle as the center. After the thunder converged, two openings appeared in front of everyone.

"Tyr, you and Hermond go over there. If you encounter a large number of enemies, notify Urel. I'll go this way," Odin instructed. "The others stand by."

"Yes!" the crowd responded.

Immediately, Odin rode his eight-legged Pegasus into one side of the tunnel, while Hermond dragged Tyr into the other side.

Both Sleipnir and Hermond were extremely fast, and the enemy had not fled far, so they appeared shortly. The Rainbow Bridge then fell from the sky, transporting everyone to a wasteland.

"Boom--"

Above the wasteland, Odin was at war with a group of trolls, including the Archmage Muthurs.

Facing the siege of Muthurs and hundreds of troll warriors, Odin did not fall behind. Wearing thunder, he swiftly traveled among the enemies on Sleipnir, taking several troll warriors' lives with each spear swing.

The only one causing trouble for Odin was Muthurs. But as the Asgardian troops joined the fight, Muthurs soon sweated profusely and looked panicked.

Tyr then arrived, and the battle ended quickly, with Muthurs captured alive.

"Muthurs, you shouldn't have attacked yesterday. If you had chosen to retreat directly, Asgard would have lost this war. Now, it's the opposite," Odin sneered.

Muthurs was pale and speechless.

"Take him away and put him in prison," Odin ordered.

Then he led the soldiers along the tunnel. Although they encountered some resistance, it didn't cause much trouble until they neared the tunnel's end.

Inside the tunnel, some magic gems probably used to build a magic circle radiated light, so the vision was not dim.

At this moment, everyone could see that not far ahead was the tunnel's end, and the intersection of other tunnels, a majestic underground hall.

This hall was dozens of meters high, with a thick dome supported by metal columns, which were obviously extremely strong.

In the hall's center, a glowing body was suspended—the space channel through which the troll coalition invaded Vanaheim. Now, it's the troll coalition's lifeline for retreat.

As long as Asgard destroyed this space channel, the troll coalition would be in immediate trouble.

However, including Odin, the Asgardian warriors stopped. For no other reason, the king of frost giants, Laufey, stood before them, leading nearly a thousand coalition soldiers.

"Long time no see, Laufey," Odin said with a smile.

Laufey looked gloomy. "Odin."

Odin said slowly, "The slaughter of the Vanir is definitely the most regrettable thing you have done in your life."

"I don't think so," Laufey said.

"That only means more regrettable things await you in the future." Odin waved his spear, his body thundered violently, and he rushed toward Laufey.

Laufey flipped his hand, revealing an ice-blue long knife with a blood ruby inlaid on it, not the Casket of ancient winters.

This knife was one of Jotunheim's most famous weapons, Regimbanir, known as the "Blade of the God-Slaughter."

Odin and Laufey immediately clashed, with thunder and ice shooting everywhere. Fortunately, the tunnel was already wide; otherwise, it would have collapsed instantly.

Simultaneously, the soldiers on both sides fought fiercely.

Forseti's team faced a team of frost giants. Despite being first-order divine powers, they were strong and fought Forseti for a long time.

"Chong!"

The frost giant used an ice pick to strike the Scarlet Commander's Shield.

Forseti retaliated with a Holy Light hammer, and the frost giant parried. The two sides went back and forth, exchanging dozens of blows.

Finally, taking advantage of a flaw, Forseti raised Verrigan's fist high, and the holy light struck the frost giant's forehead.

The frost giant hurriedly parried, managing to block the blow but staggered backward, making his stand unsteady.

Forseti seized the moment with a hammer.

The sword of justice arrived, piercing the frost giant's foot, causing him to fall, screaming.

Forseti stepped forward, delivering a heavy hammer blow to the frost giant's neck.

"Crack!"

With the sound of the skull shattering, the frost giant stopped moving. Forseti delivered two more hammer blows for good measure.

"Go to hell!" a demon roared, rushing over.

A demon coming to him.

Forseti remained calm, raised his hand, and the Hammer of Judgment struck.

However, this demon was not ordinary. Though battered by the Hammer of Judgment, he didn't die. Despite his hands being burnt and bloody from the holy light, he still attacked Forseti with a knife.

Forseti fought the demon.

Meanwhile, as Odin and Laufey battled fiercely, dense footsteps echoed from several other tunnels.
