The moment this prism crystal appeared, a powerful and majestic aura filled the entire temple.

This is the origin of the kingdom of Asgard.

After the disappearance of the God-King Odin, the first heir Thor temporarily took charge of the origin of Asgard, and he had kept this origin hidden in this temple.

The illusory light from the prismatic crystal illuminated the entire temple, as if it was constantly floating between nothingness and reality. Bragi held the amethyst, looking up at the magnificent source, and tears welled up in his red eyes again.

Found it...

The hope of resurrecting Eden lies here!

My dearest Eden, please wait a little longer...we will meet soon.

Braki's body couldn't help but tremble slightly.

"Braki, give me Iden's soul." Thor stood under the origin of Asgard and stretched out his hand to Braki.

Braki subconsciously held the crystal in his hand tightly, as if he was afraid that someone would snatch it away, but after hesitating for a moment, he slowly handed it out and placed it carefully in Thor's palm.

He stared into Thor's eyes and said in a very serious tone, word by word:

"Thor, I'll trust you one last time... take good care of her for me."

"Don't worry." Thor nodded seriously.

He grasped the purple crystal and lifted it up gently. The crystal automatically floated to the top of the hall and slowly merged into the origin that was floating in the sea of ​​illusion and disappeared.

"It will take about ten days to cultivate Eden's body with the help of the Origin." Verdandi said with a complicated expression, "Braki, let's go first. When the time is right, we will come back to pick up your wife."

Braki stood there in a dark golden dress, his eyes fixed on the origin with a hint of tenderness. After a long time, he reluctantly looked away.

"Um."

He followed the three goddesses and was about to leave the hall when a voice suddenly sounded behind him:

"Braki."

Braki paused and looked back, only to see Thor standing in front of the throne. After hesitating for a moment, he said, "I hope that we can still be like before..."

"If Eden can come back safe and sound this time, I can pretend that nothing happened... and acknowledge you as my brother."

After a moment of silence, Bragi uttered these words, then turned into a stream of light and disappeared on the spot with the three goddesses.

Hearing this answer, a smile appeared on Thor's lips.

Tyr watched them leave, as if he had thought of something, and said seriously, "Thor, before that, we have to deal with tomorrow's affairs first..."

Thor's expression suddenly became serious.

"Tomorrow should be the day when Loki will challenge the Supreme?"

"That's right." Tyr nodded, his eyes showing determination. "No matter what, we can't let him succeed in reaching the highest point, otherwise Asgard will be in chaos."

"I have already communicated with the Nordic War Department. The arrangements around the Miracle Square have been completed. Even if a large-scale war between gods breaks out, our chances of winning are very high..."

Thor was halfway through his words when he saw Lin Qiye still standing by the door. He spoke with a strange expression:

"Miles, do you have anything to add?"

"...No." Lin Qiye immediately understood what he meant, "I was just about to leave."

Even though Lin Qiye was very curious about the arrangements made by Thor and others tomorrow, such a secret was not something that an outside agent like him could know. He quickly left the temple and even closed the door.

…

Circle of people.

"Is the environment of Asgard's 'human circle' so bad?"

Baili Pangpang stood in the vast desert, his cheeks hurt by the whistling sand. He looked around, and all he saw was endless yellow sand and a dry oasis.

"Indeed, compared with the 'human circle' in Takama-ga-hara, it is really far behind. It's simply two different worlds." Cao Yuan nodded.

"This is normal. After all, not all divine kingdoms have artifacts like the Eight-foot Mirror that contain a huge amount of space inside and can automatically form a living environment."

The knight, wearing a cape, walked up to them and said, "70% of Asgard's 'Human Circle' is desert, and almost all the people live in the remaining 30%. Due to the harsh living environment and the fact that the Norse gods have too strict control over the beliefs here, the population of this 'Human Circle' is also very small, probably only 30,000 to 40,000 people. Compared with the tens of millions of people in Takamagahara, this place is like a village in the desert."

"Is there something similar to the Pure Land and Oracle here?"

“Yes, here, the existence that represents the Nordic theocracy is the Holy See. The difference from the Pure Land is that the bishops in the Holy See are ordinary people, and they are puppets of faith that are deeply controlled by the Nordic gods.

Here, theocracy has penetrated people's bones. Every one of them is a fanatical believer of the Nordic gods. Whether it is food, clothing, or the qualifications to marry and have children, they all need to be distributed by the Holy See. Here, a word from the bishop can decide anyone's life or death.

Let me put it this way, if the people living in the Takamagahara "human circle" are captive humans, then the people here... are a group of pigs and dogs kept in captivity by the gods.

The humans here simply have no chance of escaping from the control of theocracy."

"How cruel..." Baili Pangpang couldn't help but sigh.

An Qingyu walked up a sand dune and looked into the distance. Faintly, he could see the outlines of small houses looming at the end of the desert.

"We seem to be almost there," he said.

"We can't go any further. There are only so many people in that small town. If so many strangers go in, we will definitely be noticed by the Holy See. It will be terrible if we attract the attention of the Nordic gods." The knight immediately led everyone from the Upper Evil Society and began to settle down in the surrounding area.

"We can split into two groups and go to the city to investigate the situation."

"Yes, that's what I thought. In the meantime, our main force can slowly move towards the passage between the 'Human Circle' and Asgard."

"Is that passage far away?"

“Not far.”

An Qingyu nodded and was about to say something else when his face suddenly froze and he turned to look in a certain direction in the desert.

The mental power that was infinitely close to the ceiling level rolled out, and the pair of gray eyes stared at that place, becoming extremely deep in an instant.

Seeing this scene, Baili Pangpang and others seemed to realize something and looked in the direction he was looking as if they were facing a great enemy.

"What's wrong?!" the knight asked in confusion.

"Someone." An Qingyu stretched out his hand and pointed to a hill in the distance. "Someone has discovered us..."

Five kilometers away, in a sand dune,

Leng Xuan, who was holding a dark red sniper rifle, frowned, slowly moved his eyes away from the sniper scope, and spoke in surprise:

“…They?”
