Since the beginning of Ragnarok, Asgard and its allies have been at a disadvantage throughout the entire process.
There are many reasons for this. It is not just Odin's decision-making. The light elves' desire to take advantage of the situation is also one of the keys to the success or failure of the war.
In terms of the total number of troops, the Asaph Clan is slightly more than the Vanir Clan, and the individual combat capabilities of the two sides are about the same.
After suffering a round of heavy losses, the light elves still had more troops than the frost giants and fire giants, but the gap in combat power between the two sides was too great, and the giants who had restored their original posture had an overwhelming advantage.
Nidhogg, Jormungandr, and Surtur, super-large creatures with the ability to destroy cities, further increased the coalition's advantage.
The hidden danger planted by the giant stonemason Harindor hundreds of years ago broke out and dealt Asgard an unbearable heavy blow.
After the resistance army led by Lu Xiao broke through Asgard's last defense, the outcome of this war was already doomed.
Without the rune circle that protected the city, Surtur's decisive blow made Asgard completely history, and the Asgard realm, which had stood at the top of the Nine Realms for countless years, fell apart.
Having fulfilled his destiny, Surtur entered Helheim without any regrets, leaving Odin and the Asaphs with an unmanageable mess.
The defection of half of the heroic warriors further weakened Asgard's combat effectiveness. With the morale boost from killing Surtur, Asgard's army can maintain high fighting spirit for the time being.
But as the saying goes, hardness cannot last forever, and softness cannot be maintained.
After all, the effectiveness of chicken blood has its limit. Under the absolute numerical disadvantage, Asgard's soldiers will soon be forced to recognize the reality.
The encirclement and suppression on the frontal battlefield will be jointly commanded by Frey, Tyr and Ushtahar.
Although Tyr stood on the opposite side of Asgard, Odin was his father after all. At Lu Xiao's suggestion, the coalition leaders unanimously agreed to exclude Tyr from the team that besieged and killed Odin.
This is not to exclude or distrust Tyr, but to avoid the tragedy of Tyr killing his father by his own hands.
Tyr was also well aware of this, and gratefully accepted everyone's kindness, and concentrated on using his powerful command ability as the Nordic God of War to steadily suppress the Asaph clan's final counterattack.
Most of Asgard's main gods have withered away, leaving only Odin and Thor and their sons fighting to the end.
After Freya launched the first attack impatiently, Lu Xiao, Kratos and his son, Skadi, Yongzhen and others appeared one after another and surrounded them.
Members of the Council headed by Sigurune also arrived with the Valkyries, completely blocking the airspace near Odin and restricting Thor and Odin within a certain range.
Thor was not good at riding horses, so before the battle began, he jumped off Sleipnir's back.
Thor showed no fear even when surrounded by many people, and still held Mjolnir with full fighting spirit.
Kratos took a deep breath, raised the Leviathan ax in his hand, and planned to step forward to meet Thor.
"etc."
Lu Xiao raised his hand to stop Kratos: "Leave this guy to me, you go deal with Odin, be careful of his Gangnir."
Kratos took a deep look at Lu Xiao and nodded silently after making sure that he was not joking.
Atreus looked a little worried: "Lu Xiao, are you sure?"
"Let's just say there is."
Lu Xiao touched the handle of the Immortal Slashing Blade that he had taken out from his personal space and hung on his back: "Go ahead and focus on your own battle. Don't be distracted on the battlefield."
Freya, who was eager for revenge, took the lead in starting this encirclement and suppression battle. The real Valkyrie King with amazing mobility used her speed advantage to attack Odin one after another.
Thanks to the eight-legged horse Leipnir, Odin, who was temporarily unable to keep up with the rhythm, dodged every attack from Freya. His one eye gradually began to adapt to Freya's speed and was able to catch some shadows.
.
Skadi bent her bow and arrowed under the amplification of Yongzhen's spell. The Hunting Queen endured the fury of revenge and first aimed at the Pegasus under Odin.
As long as Sleipnir dies, Odin's mobility will be greatly reduced, eliminating the possibility of him escaping in the first place.
Without Heimdall's Eye of Deception, Odin was unable to see through Tamamo's concealment spell. At this time, she and Fenrir stood quietly on the edge of the battle circle, waiting for Odin to show his fatigue and kill him with a single blow.
"Patience, patience."
Fenrir grinned impatiently and growled, and Tamamo Mae stretched out his hand to gently comfort the wolf's head.
When Odin was caught in a pincer attack, Thor, who was about to step forward to support him, was stopped by Lu Xiao.
"Thunder God Thor, your opponent is me."
Thor glanced at Lu Xiao contemptuously: "Mortal, do you know what you are doing?"
"Boom!"
The fire in Asgard catalyzed the formation of thunderclouds in the sky, and Thor was confident that he could exert his greatest combat effectiveness in the home environment.
Thunderbolts struck from the thick thunderclouds and fell on Thor's raised Mjolnir warhammer, and the cloak covering Thor was blown by the strong wind.
"What qualifications does a mere mortal have to challenge the strongest warrior in Asgard!"
"Ha~"
Lu Xiao threw a warhammer containing weak thunder power in front of Thor.
Thor, who was sneering contemptuously, suddenly stopped, and he recognized the origin of this war hammer.
When he rushed to the valley where Somur's body was to search for the bodies of Manny and Modi, Thor only found the weapons they left behind in the valley, including Manny's two-handed sword and Modi's shield, but only Modi's.
Di's main warhammer was never found.
Now the truth was finally revealed. When he saw this war hammer, Thor's eyes began to become bloodshot, and his anger slowly rose.
"Really...it turns out to be you, turns out to be you!"
"Boom! Boom!"
The thunder in the sky seemed to feel Thor's fury. The sound of thunder above the battlefield became more and more violent. The Valkyrie who blocked the high altitude made some commotion, feeling uneasy about the sudden change in weather.
"Don't mess around!"
Sigurn comforted him in time: "Thor's rage is also planned, keep your position and wait and see what happens!"
Lu Xiao glanced at the sky with his peripheral vision: "Thunderclouds..."
The Dragonborn talent was activated, and strong winds began to sweep over the battlefield, quickly blowing away the gathering thunderclouds.
The sky covered by dark clouds became clear again, and the warm spring sunshine shone on the land of Asgard, bringing some warmth to the soldiers in the dark and cold battlefield.
"What?!"
Thor looked up to the sky in surprise.
Although calling thunderclouds is not his full-time power, it is one of his privileges as the god of thunder and lightning. No one has ever been able to reverse the thunderclouds summoned by him in the past.
Lu Xiao pulled out Xuanyuan Sword and Immortal Sword at the same time, using two different weapons to make a nondescript two-sword style posture.
"Thor, you are the God of Thunder, not the God of Thunder Clouds."
Lu Xiao said sarcastically with a calm expression: "Do you think that when thunderclouds gather in the sky, it is your home court? You think too highly of your ability to control the weather, right?"
Thor looked at Lu Xiao with a gloomy face: "Is it you?"
"Yes, this is my bloodline talent."
"Ha ha!"
Thor laughed angrily: "Very good! No wonder you can kill my two useless sons."
"As a father, I feel extremely gratified that they can at least die in the hands of a powerful enemy!!"
"Buzz!"
The Thor's Hammer flew out of his hand and was thrown towards Lu Xiao at a speed exceeding the speed of sound.
Lu Xiao, who was well prepared, started to dodge in advance when he noticed Thor raising his hand. Thor's hammer only hit the afterimage left by him.
"Come!"
After retracting the hit Mjolnir, Thor shouted with great fighting spirit: "Mortal! I want to see if you can kill me!"
Lu Xiao was not affected by Thor's wild fighting passion and still responded calmly: "As you wish."
