Chapter 2026

Asgard.

Thor woke up the next day, but a hangover is like a yawn in the morning to the Asgardians. Just wash your face and it will be fine.

At this moment, he is playing with his new Thunderfire.

A group of Asgardian warriors are cheering.

There is no way, this thing is really cool.

A golden lightning-shaped weapon... It is hard to say what kind of weapon this thing belongs to. It can be used for chopping and is indestructible. Even the weapons of the Asgardian warriors can be easily chopped off. At the same time, it is a bit like a javelin and can be thrown out.

According to the evaluation of the Asgardian warriors, this thing is better than Mjolnir.

This is true. Although Mjolnir is powerful, it is not as flexible as Thunderfire.

This thing is very flexible, a bit like the flying sword in the fairy tale novels. It can be flexibly controlled and can do any tricks. It can also change the celestial phenomena.

Thor can easily summon storms and thunder with it.

Not only that, as long as he holds it in his hand, Thor seems to have become another Zeus.

There is an unparalleled power.

Of course, for the entire Asgardians, Thor's robbing of Zeus's artifact is not something worth writing about... You know, the Asgardians also have two sides. On the one hand, they are heroic and brave, and on the other hand, their background is actually pirates!

This can be best reflected from their believers.

Among the gods who left the earth, Asgard is the god with the deepest entanglement with the earth. Although they have been away from the earth for many light years, they still come to the earth from time to time. The most famous is the battle with the frost giants.

At that time, the frost giants found the space channel to the earth and wanted to seize Midgard (that is, the earth), so in order to protect the earth, the Asgardians took the initiative to attack (don't ask me where Kamar-Taj was at that time, they went to fight the devil, Marvel has always been very messy in terms of setting).

They fought a huge war with the frost giants in their hometown, which is the Nordic region.

They protected the locals and left countless legends in their minds. There was also an Asgard berserker who fell in love with a human woman and became a deserter and secretly stayed on Earth, and spread some of Asgard's deeds.

At the same time, because of a little deviation in the spread, the Norse mythology on Earth today is very different from the real Asgard history.

The biggest difference is that Loki, who should have been adopted, became Odin's brother, which is outrageous.

But it was also the influence of the Asgardians that the Vikings in Northern Europe were infected with many habits of the Asgardians.

For example, they were not very opposed to looting, but instead thought it was a very normal thing.

In the Middle Ages, as the Western Roman region was divided by the European barbarians, these originally backward nations converted to Christianity in order to consolidate their rule. As a result, Christianity became the state religion of the whole of Europe for a time, and the Pope's influence on the secular world and the ability to organize a group of crusaders to launch multiple wars in minutes.

There are exceptions. The Germanic people who dominated Europe originated from the Scandinavian Peninsula in the early days. Some of them gradually migrated to the border of Gaul (now France) and made a living by hunting and raising livestock. When Caesar first launched the Gallic Campaign, he was defeated by these Germanic people. In the end, the entire Western Romans were divided up by various Germanic ethnic groups.

It was also at this time that the Vikings in the north began to rise.

The Vikings were not nomadic people. Because the weather in the Scandinavian Peninsula was cold and the environment was extremely harsh, most Vikings planted barley, rye and oats, and also liked to drink beer. However, the environment in Northern Europe made the land barren and insufficient to sustain their lives. Their brothers, the Germanic people, migrated to Western Europe in their early years. The Vikings chose to develop marine civilization, fishing, shipbuilding, sailing, and plundering. The word Viking itself means traveling first and then plundering.

As the overlord of the sea, the ship is the symbol of the Vikings, and they are proud of the fast single-masted vessel "dragon ship". After entering the Middle Ages, the Vikings were divided into three groups. The Norwegian Vikings plundered the British Isles and the Mediterranean, the Danish Vikings plundered along the rivers of Western Europe, and the Swedish Vikings migrated to settle in Russia. This is the origin of the Vikings. The Vikings left their cold and barren homeland and embarked on a voyage in order to survive. The ship was their home. Most of the Vikings' weapons were spears and axes, and they usually fought on foot. Chanting: We are the people of Odin and began to plunder various European countries. The main targets are local people's livestock and things, as well as everything of value. And the Vikings who believed in Odin thought that Christians were "pagans". They would rob wealthy churches and mock God as a "false god" who actually wanted gold and silver. An attack on England in AD 789 is recorded in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, where they were mistaken for traders by local officials. The pirates killed the officials who wanted to collect taxes from them. The second record was in AD 793, when Viking pirates attacked the monastery on Lindisfarne Island, kicking off the "Viking Age" when the Vikings dominated Europe. In the next 200 years, the Vikings continued to invade various coastal countries in Europe, including France, Britain, Scotland, Ireland, etc. The European people in the Middle Ages regarded the Vikings as bandits and barbarians, and their bad reputation was spread throughout Europe.

The Vikings were strong warriors. Their numbers were small, so they had to rely on careful planning and unexpected surprise attacks. In the battle, they showed unusual fanaticism and were not afraid of death, so people talked about pirates. The Vikings’ hometowns are Norway, Sweden and Denmark. However, because of their bravery and good fighting skills, they and their descendants once controlled most of the Baltic Sea coast, the interior of Russia, Normandy in France, Britain, Sicily, southern Italy and parts of Palestine. They discovered Iceland in 825 (Irish monks were already there) and settled in 875. In 985, they colonized Greenland. There is strong evidence that they reached Newfoundland and explored parts of North America five hundred years before Columbus discovered the New World.

The social system of the Vikings consisted of three classes: one was composed of great lords, hereditary nobles; one was composed of free men, who were the main force of the army, so they were also called the warrior class; and the last was composed of slaves at the bottom. But this division is not absolute. If a free man loses all his land, he will become a slave. A slave who faithfully serves his master will be given the opportunity to be redeemed and become a free man. Nobles and freemen met regularly to decide on important matters and resolve disputes. In the earliest times, the king was the largest noble, and he made almost all major decisions, so that the tribal council was only responsible for some local affairs. But in Iceland, since there has never been a king, the tribal assembly decides everything. All nobles and free people on the island must participate. It is held regularly in a certain place every year for two weeks to complete a series of ceremonies, trade, negotiations, and competitions. The Vikings received unconditionally all the decrees of the king and the council, and these decrees were known to everyone. Those who disobey will be expelled from the tribe. This time the exiles cannot cultivate any land or accept help from anyone. They can only live in caves and live a life of hiding and stealing.

Most Vikings were farmers most of the time and pirates only a small part of the time, alternating with raiding and farming. The pirates went out twice a year, either in the spring or after the autumn harvest. During this period, their wives would take over for them and take care of everything at home. The Vikings were good sailors and shipwrights. Their ships were light, narrow and had a shallow draft, allowing them to sail on all the rivers in Europe. This was one of the reasons why their maritime trade was so popular. In comparison, during the same period, ships from other countries could not go to distant seas, and their designs were also very cumbersome.

Thor went out of his way to learn about these things when he was on Earth, and found that the life of the Vikings really matched their Asgardian customs.

He even doubted whether those Vikings were really descendants of Asgardians.

The Viking attitude towards death, in particular, is especially appreciated by the Asgardians. These pirates believed that if a man died gloriously in battle, his soul could enter Valhalla, the palace in Asgard, the heavenly kingdom, so that he could fight with the gods at Ragnarok. In the Hall of Valor, they had to face each other for practical training every day, and at night they feasted and drank like uninjured people. The myth of the Hall of Valor embodies the ideal life that the ancient Germanic barbarians yearned for - fighting during the day and drinking heavily at night; meeting challenges fearlessly. If you are born a warrior and die in bed, you are worthy of entering the underworld.

This is very Asgardian.

Asgardians don't care much about death, but it would be great if they could still fight during the day and drink heavily at night after death!

In short, because of the characteristics of the Asgardians, they don't care at all that the king's artifact is stolen, and they are even proud of it...well done!

For such a powerful artifact, his master must be even more powerful. If Thor can snatch such a powerful artifact back from him, then it means Thor is even more powerful! What's wrong with this?

As for morality... To be honest, Asgardians have completely different moral values ​​from us, so there is no need to worry about it.

What really shocked the Asgardians was that their king, Thor Odinson, was in love!

This time it was not the short-lived species like the Earthlings, but the goddess of the Pantheon.

The Asgardians were divided into two factions. The women of Asgard hated this, and they couldn't understand why their prince didn't like the Asgardian girls and had to find one outside.

In fact, the women of Asgard had long been full of resentment on this point.

Because starting from Odin, the royal family didn't marry the daughters of Asgard's own family.

Odin's first wife... It's not right to say that. After all, she was not married by Odin at all. She was a powerful witch. Odin was attracted by her power and determined to have a powerful child with her.

So he killed all the witch's tribe, snatched the witch back, and then gave birth to Hela... Odin did this not even because of lust, but simply because of utilitarianism and his attraction to other people's excellent genes.

The witch lived up to everyone's expectations and gave birth to such a powerful offspring as Hela.

Then the witch disappeared. As for how she disappeared, only Odin knew. Anyway, Odin never mentioned the whereabouts of the witch again. No one dared to ask.

The women in Asgard could tolerate this a little bit... After all, the witch was just a fertility machine.

Everyone was not jealous.

But later Frigga... made some Asgardians uncomfortable. You actually married a foreigner as queen!

She is a Warner!

However, as time went by, Frigga's kindness and virtue still made the Asgardians accept this queen.

When the princes grew up.

What happened again.

Thor actually fell in love with an earthling!

Of course, what they didn't know was that the rebellious prince Loki was even more excessive and actually fell in love with himself... Well, at this time, Loki had been captured by the Time Variance Administration TVA... and met Loki from various timelines there... He fell in love with a female Loki.

In a sense, this is love giving birth to oneself.

(Time Variance Administration, in the distant future, in order to monitor the reality of the entire multiverse and try to minimize time interference, the Time Variance Administration (TVA) was established. TVA is a huge bureaucracy dedicated to supervising, adjusting, and ultimately balancing a large number of timelines in the multiverse containing infinite variables. They discard abandoned timelines and try to prevent time paradoxes; they also monitor core individuals - their existence is necessary for the reality they are in. Agents will be copied and created as needed, and their offices will expand in all directions to correspond to the differences in the new reality. Loki was considered a variable, so he was captured by the Time Variance Administration... Now Loki is destroying the entire TVA and moving towards the mastermind behind the time anomaly management!)

The girls in Asgard are very unhappy, but although Thor falling in love with an earthling is unacceptable, considering the pitiful lifespan of earthlings, everyone can only endure it.

But the girls in the Pantheon... this is unbearable!

What should Sif do?

The men are happy to see this happen. For them, killing the enemy and robbing the enemy's wife and daughter is definitely a commendable thing!

This is to enhance our country's prestige! It's so awesome!!!
