Her slender fingers fumbled around the door a few times, and the lights in the room were turned on.
Asgard is a place where technology and magic coexist. It relies on the energy of the World Tree to drive some technological products, but there are not as many entertainment facilities as on Sakaar.
The roots of the World Tree are like cables, densely distributed everywhere underground in Asgard. Almost all the Asgard's technology is developed based on it.
The bright light made her armor reflect the light. She lowered her head and sighed as she took off her cloak, preparing to take off her clothes and take a shower.
"Ahem!"
She heard someone coughing in the house and immediately regretted that she had been too careless. On Sakaar, she had developed a drinking habit and her fighting consciousness had dropped too much.
When she returned to Asgard, she subconsciously relaxed her vigilance and didn't expect someone to sneak into her room.
Brunhilde looked intently and found Misty standing in the living room. A strange man sat on the chair next to her, looking at her expressionlessly.
Gin winked at her and smiled, indicating that there was someone else here, a man. Even if you wanted to take off your clothes, don't just stand at the door and take them off carelessly.
"How did you get out?"
Brünnhilde just frowned, a little confused, but she put the sword back into its sheath, and she took off her cloak and hung it on the shelf.
The layout of her room was very simple, even there was only one chair, but there were a lot of animal skins used as carpets.
The most common things in the house were various wine bottles, broken pottery shards and wine glasses. It seemed that not long after she returned to Asgard, she had already been drunk at home.
In Asgard, wine glasses are consumables. When you are happy with your drink, you have to throw a few on the ground to hear the sound.
'Continued Cup!'
He also shouted so loudly to appear bold and brave.
But looking at Brünnhilde's face now, she couldn't be said to be happy at all. She must have been so depressed that she went drunkenly and fell several times.
Su Ming was looking at Brünnhilde, and he found that as Valkyries, they were not particularly strong or tall. At least Gin and she were not as tall as Diana.
Maybe the flying cavalry needs to be lighter, or maybe the evolution direction of the Aesir is different from that of the Amazons.
Moreover, Brünnhilde's image is extremely close to the comics, not the mixed-race black girl in the MCU.
The movie was made like that purely for the sake of political correctness, which Su Ming can understand.
It’s enough that Black Panther’s country is all black, but there are actually no black people in Asgard.
Brünnhilde has a standard Nordic appearance, with long blond hair, braided into two thick and shiny braids, hanging from her chest to her waist.
Her eyes are sharp, her blue eyes are as clear as spring water, her delicate nose is as delicate as white jade, and her lips are as warm as honey wine.
It's just that the combination of these facial features brings a unique heroic and determined temperament. As soon as you see her, you can tell that she is a warrior.
Su Ming felt that if she put on a suit and a pair of glasses, she would definitely look more like a strong woman than Gin does now. After all, Gin has been on earth for too long and her temperament looks gentler.
It seems that the life of Saka Star is not very easy. Is she still doing the job of catching gladiators for Gao Tianzun?
Gin approached her, and the two of them patted each other's shoulders and backs vigorously, calling each other by their past titles.
However, the expressions of both of them seemed a little unnatural, and they seemed to be a little uncomfortable with the etiquette of the Immortal Palace, which Su Ming found very interesting.
After a while, Gin pulled Brünnhilde over and introduced Su Ming to her: "I said, my boss will come to save me, and he is already here."
Brünnhilde looked at Su Ming and found that she couldn't see through this person at all. He looked like an ordinary human being, but if he appeared in Asgard, he must be anything but ordinary.
"I am Valkyrie, I am Brynhildr the Charger. What is your name? A warrior from Midgard."
She spoke seriously, using ancient Norse.
Su Ming glanced at her with one eye, and a powerful aura spread instantly.
The golden spear instantly appeared in his hand, and he thrust it hard into the ground. Standing there, he relaxed against the back of the chair, holding the handle of the gun and answered calmly:
"I am Odin."
Brünnhilde's eyes widened, her mouth opened and speechless: "..."
She felt her scalp numb. The one eye, the spear, and the majestic temperament couldn't be fake at all.
Why is Mysty, considered a traitor by the Goddess, always a close associate of Odin? What kind of power struggle is hidden behind this? Who is Odin planning to deal with?
All kinds of conspiracy theories ran through her mind. She had seen similar situations on Sakaar. The chaotic society there taught her a lot.
The God King's mind was as deep as the sea. She found that she couldn't figure it out at all, and goosebumps suddenly appeared on her body because of fear.
She immediately wanted to kneel down and salute, but was stopped by Gin.
Gin glanced at the boss angrily. It seemed like the transformation of the Godslayer had deceived the two princes, right?
Pretending to be a dormant Odin, it was really dark under the lamp. Even Heimdall did not dare to take a closer look at Odin's face. The boss was still so cunning.
"Stop making trouble, boss, Brunhilde is my good friend."
"Just kidding, Odin really likes people to kneel down so much." Su Ming smiled, put away his momentum, and the spear instantly turned into a scimitar, which he put into his bag.
He took out a few more bottles of earth wine and motioned for Brünnhilde to sit down and talk.
"???" Brünnhilde looked puzzled. There were too many twists and turns, and she couldn't react.
But when she was pulled by Misty to sit down on the carpet and drank a few glasses of wine, her brain seemed to be functioning normally again.
This is not Odin, but Mysty's new master, a... weirdo who likes to play pranks, and who is also too courageous.
Impersonating Odin is a serious crime.
But for Misty's sake, she doesn't have to report it.
"Why don't you escape? If Odin wakes up, things will be in trouble."
"Escape is never an option. When Odin wakes up, I will still have to negotiate a deal with him."
Su Ming drank a glass of wine, wiped his beard, and showed a meaningful smile.
Brünnhilde twirled the wine glass in her hand. In fact, she also knew that Misty obviously had no intention of serving Asgard anymore.
Misty has always looked at her boss, even more admiringly than she looked at Odin before.
When she came here, it seemed like she was just meeting friends. There was a feeling in her eyes that she was revisiting her old place, but she was not as confident as before in protecting this place.
"Then why are you looking for me? Although I have a small spaceship, it landed on the Sakaar planet."
Brünnhilde picked up the bottle herself and started blowing on the bottle, as if she was planning to get herself drunk.
"I am Slade, you can also call me Deathstroke. We are here because Gin wants to know what happened in Asgard and why he recalled your Valkyries without even caring about the secret of Hela.
Already."
"Gin?"
"Oh, that's my name on Earth." Gin added.
"Earth?"
"It's the Atrium, Midgard." Gin explained again.
Brünnhilde smiled bitterly. She placed the wine bottle on the ground, lowered her head and shook it, as if looking at the liquid inside through the brown bottle.
"I know, but you are now completely a human on Earth, and your words and actions are all... But I can't seem to get rid of my identity as a Valkyrie. Even if I pretend to be a black man on Sakaar, I still feel
The shadow of the past hangs over me."
Gin obviously also recalled the original situation. They rode Pegasus and charged towards Hela, shouting slogans for Asgard.
But Hela waved her hand expressionlessly, and they were all destroyed.
Brünnhilde did not die because her girlfriend and deputy, Sigdrifa, used herself to block Hela's attack for her.
Watching her lover die in her arms caused severe psychological trauma to Brünnhilde, not to mention that the souls of these dead Valkyries fell into the hands of Hela.
Yes, Brünnhilde likes women. Although men are fine, women are better.
This is someone else's private matter, and not even Odin has anything to do with it. Even the love between women is quite appreciated by the God-King.
As a result, before Su Ming's information was revealed, the scene had turned into a grievance meeting for Brünnhilde. She cried silently and recalled the past with gin.
Ginjiu could only comfort her first. It would be too cold to ask for information in this situation, not to mention that Ginjiu was very sad when thinking about the past.
Su Ming just sat quietly on the chair, waiting for them to calm down.
It was bright outside the window, and the World Tree could be seen still burning.
As long as the fire does not go out, it means that you have not been discovered. This is the best warning signal, a large torch that can be seen anywhere in the country.
He now has plenty of time, and at least he has to wait until Thor returns from Surtur before he can realize the difference between flames.
As for when they will realize that Odin is fake, it will probably take longer.
.....................
"Omen? Are you saying that the goddesses recalled everyone just because of some ambiguous omens?"
Su Ming raised an eyebrow, and sat on the carpet with Brünnhilde, looking at each other, thinking about the information the Valkyrie told him.
The wind outside the window brought some late night coolness, and there was also a faint smell of fireworks. He stroked the fur on the floor with his hands, feeling the Nordic style of Asgard.
In the prophecy, the Winter of Finbul is the beginning of all destruction, representing three long winters, namely the Winter of Wind, the Winter of Swords, and the Winter of Wolves.
The Winter of Winds has happened long ago. Baldr, the God of Light, was killed by a spear made of mistletoe. Light no longer comes, and the nine realms including the earth usher in a long cold winter.
That was what happened during the last Little Ice Age, which was from the 14th to the 17th century, and lasted for nearly 300 years. Half of the human population in Northern Europe starved to death, and the other nine realms were not doing well either.
The Frost Giants attacked Asgard at that time, and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
Logically speaking, the next one should be Winter of Swords.
The Winter of Swords means war. It is a massive melee in the nine realms that takes place in winter. Countless gods were predicted to die in that battle.
Finally, in the Winter of the Wolf, Odin will die at the mouth of the giant wolf Fenrir.
After these winters have passed, the next predicted order is that the World Tree will burst into flames, the dead will rise, the Immortal Palace will crash, and the world will be destroyed.
Could it be that the Godmothers regard the world war that just ended in the Atrium as the beginning of the Winter of Swords...
For the time being, Su Ming did not see how too many people dying on earth would have any impact on the other eight realms. After all, if he did not believe in the Nordic gods, his soul would not fall into the hands of Hela.
Brünnhilde's information cannot be said to be completely useless, but Su Ming needs to think about it carefully.
