In the same dimension, the expression on Zach's face was very subtle. He frowned and sat on the throne.
Looking at the light screen that appeared in front of him, Zack couldn't help but feel surprised on his face. The task that suddenly appeared on the system light screen and the content written on it really surprised him (`Δ)! !

"Ragnarok?!?"
Zach murmured softly, thinking of the introductions about Ragnarok in Asgard in the comics he had read on the official Marvel website, and he quickly had a direction in his mind. Who is his enemy? , it is already very clear in my mind.
Ragnarok is one of the important basic settings of the Nordic mythology system. The birth and growth of Thor are ultimately due to the existence of Ragnarok.
In the Marvel universe, the Norse mythology system is different from all other mythology systems. The gods of other mythology systems are basically set to have nearly eternal lives.
The gods of Norse mythology have the existence of Ragnarok. The so-called Ragnarok refers to the eternal cycle of death and rebirth of the Asgardian gods.
In a cycle, Asgard is destroyed, the gods die, and then the gods will be reborn to rebuild Asgard, and the cycle begins again, repeating itself endlessly.
In fact, the causes and consequences of Ragnarok are controlled by a group of higher-level gods called "gods sitting in the shadows". They feed on the huge energy generated by Ragnarok.
The power of the "gods sitting in the shadows" far exceeds that of all Asgardian gods, including Thor and Odin. Except for the creators of these events, almost no one in the Asgardian gods understands the events of Ragnarok. the truth.
Only the prophet Vora predicted the existence of Ragnarok, and after announcing the prophecy of Ragnarok, Vora died.
In the comics, the gods will also perish together with enemies such as Surtur, Jormungandr, and Fenrir. Gods such as Odin, Thor, and Loki will also die, and Asgard will also fall.
But after a while, Asgard and the gods will appear again, and they will usher in a new life. They will not remember experiencing Ragnarok at all, and everything will start over again until they face Ragnarok again, and then they will be reborn again. , endless loop.
This cycle happened countless times. For a long time, the Asgardian gods were unaware of it, but later, the god-king Odin discovered the truth.
Odin hung himself on the World Tree and sacrificed his eyes and blood, gaining the power of runes and vast knowledge, and knowing the truth behind Ragnarok.
However, Odin did not have the power to end the manipulation of the Asgardian gods by the "god who sits in the shadows".
Therefore, Odin in the comic story came up with a way. He decided to give birth to a son whose potential exceeded all the Asgard gods, including himself, and let him end Ragnarok.
To this end, Odin found Gaia, the mother of the earth, and had intercourse with Gaia and gave birth to Thor.
In order to allow Thor to grow up smoothly, Thor was sent to Earth, away from the sight of the "gods who sit in the shadows."
Finally, in the comic book "The Last Ragnarok", Thor followed Odin's footsteps and hung himself on the World Tree, sacrificing his eyes and blood, thus gaining the power of the runes and becoming the so-called "Thor the Rune King".
After gaining the power of the runes, Thor first ordered the "Fire Giant" Surtur to rebuild Thor's hammer Mjolnir, and then another blow caused the occurrence of Ragnarok and completely destroyed it. It destroyed the entire Nordic mythology system and cut off the thread of fate.
Ending the manipulation of the Asgardian gods by the "god who sits in the shadows" and ending the endless cycle of Ragnarok.
··············································· ··
As for the true identities of these "gods sitting in the shadows", they are the same as the Transcendents in the comics, and they are also members of the Transcendent Gods.
The Transcendent Gods are the most powerful race in Marvel comics. Even the Transcendent who is almost omnipotent in the Marvel Universe is actually a cub of the Transcendence Gods.
The Transcendent Gods used the entire Marvel Multiverse as an experimental subject, causing the major event "Secret Wars 2015" in 2015, which completely destroyed the entire Marvel Multiverse and everything died.
The Transcendent Gods have killed the cosmic gods of the Tribunal of Life, Eternity, Infinity, and Celestials in every parallel universe in all of Marvel's multiverses.
These various settings also illustrate their power, but the transcendent gods are not truly omniscient and omnipotent.
They also have weaknesses. Transcendence of the Gods is linear, and they cannot travel through their own timeline.
It was by taking advantage of this weakness that Doctor Doom killed and absorbed almost all the powers beyond the gods, became "God Lord Doom", and successfully established the Doujie and saved the survivors of the Marvel multiverse.
In the end, after Mister Fantastic defeated "God Lord Doom" with the help of Molecule Man, he used the power beyond the gods to once again reshape the Marvel multiverse.
The Transcendent Gods can be killed by overwhelming power. Once dozens of Lords of Nothingness and an Abyss sacrificed their lives to turn a Transcendent God into a big tree.
The star's self-destruction also killed a Transcendent Protoss, and Doctor Doom's method of killing the Transcendent Protoss was to make a bomb from the Molecule Man in the parallel universe.
The result of the explosion of Molecule Man was that the explosion killed almost all the Transcendent Protoss and reduced the Marvel multiverse from hundreds of thousands to less than twenty.
"Nothing you dream of is impossible for us to accomplish."
"Slay your enemies and all your desires shall be yours."
Thinking of what the Transcendent Gods said to Odin in the comics, Zach suddenly felt the pressure doubled. It seemed that he could no longer continue to grow.
According to the system, if Zach doesn't work hard, sooner or later he will become food for the gods.
We can no longer be like this, and we need to be more vigorous in making trouble.
As long as you grasp the weakness of the Transcendence Gods' inability to travel through their own timeline, and find ways to reasonably introduce characters and props from other universes in different time periods, I believe you can definitely defeat them.
