The entire battlefield was deathly silent.
Everyone's gaze was fixed on Rimuru, who didn't even turn his head!
With a casual strike, he instantly annihilated dozens of Great Chieftains who were besieging him!
Could Rimuru-sama be a great being on the same level as Odin?
Compared to the distraught Frost Giants, Fire Giants, and Vanir, the Avengers erupted in a tsunami-like cheer.
The cheers of "Rimuru-sama" could be heard throughout Asgard, as if it had fallen into an ocean of joy.
Even Thor, who had just been unsealed, felt greatly relieved and proud!
As expected of his master, his strength was formidable!
Hulk didn't know what everyone was shouting, but seeing them shout, Hulk joined in the fun and roared.
When it came to roaring, Hulk had never lost!
As for the other Avengers, they all smiled happily.
No wonder Rimuru said they were coming to "observe" a divine war when he invited them.
This was indeed "observing"!
After this battle, the Avengers had a clear understanding of the Asgardian soldiers' combat power.
Even the most ordinary soldiers were stronger than Earth's most outstanding special forces.
With magic equipment, their strength would increase significantly.
As for the divine generals, they were truly incredibly powerful.
Any one of them, if placed on Earth, would be a Superman; unenchanted hot weapons couldn't even break their defense.
Compared to Rimuru, such a powerful Asgardian army was undoubtedly weak.
Monster!
The Avengers were all incredibly fortunate that Rimuru was an Earthling, an Avenger, and a comrade.
If he were an enemy of Earth, he might very well be a true living god!
Frost Giant flagship.
Laufey stared intently at Rimuru, his ship frozen by his ice magic.
Gravity magic, God's Judgement, ice magic—this was too versatile!
The Frost Giant General tremblingly asked, "My King, is Rimuru on the same level as Odin in his prime?"
The Frost Giant General had another thought he didn't voice: if Rimuru was on the same level as Odin, what was the point of fighting?
"No! Odin in his prime is far superior to the current Rimuru. If I had the casket of ancient winters, I should be able to defeat him!"
Endless pain flashed in Laufey's eyes; the casket of ancient winters was Jotunheim's eternal sorrow.
Those Rimuru had just killed were the elites of the Frost Giants, the bloodline nobles of the Frost Giants.
If the casket of ancient winters were still here, he could use its power to plunge this place into a complete Ice Age.
The bodies of those bloodline nobles could also grow to tens, or even dozens, of meters tall, becoming true Giants!
Overthrowing Asgard would be no problem!
After Odin weakened, Laufey thought the time had come to reclaim Jotunheim's glory.
Unexpectedly, another Rimuru Tempest appeared in the Nine Realms!
Was the glory of the Frost Giants to be completely lost from his hands?
Then how could he face his ancestor Ymir after his death?
What was worse, those Great Chieftains died too quickly and failed to complete the mission of luring Rimuru to the Fire Giants' position.
The Frost Giants died under the frost, alas.
"Open communications. I want to speak with Fire King Surtur!"
"Yes!"
After the communication connected,
Surtur's face, with bull horns and burning with fire, appeared on the screen.
"Laufey, Jotunheim has been severely weakened in this battle!"
Laufey's face was expressionless. "Rimuru is skilled in lightning and ice magic; we Frost Giants have no way to deal with him. The task of dealing with him is up to you Fire Giants!"
"Terms?!"
Surtur wasn't foolish. Rimuru was such a powerful enemy; how could he easily take over without benefits?
But he couldn't not take over!
If the Frost Giants couldn't handle Rimuru, and he didn't step up, Jotunheim might just retreat.
There was even less hope for the Vanir!
What great deeds could a few mere "bandits" accomplish?
Surtur was very disdainful of the Vanir's timidity.
Thousands of years of ease had worn away their ambition.
But even if he took over, he had to gain enough benefits!
"After conquering Asgard, as long as Flame King is willing to return the casket of ancient winters to my tribe, Jotunheim will submit to Muspelheim!"
"Excellent!"
Surtur rejoiced. Frost Giants and Fire Giants were natural enemies; their abilities countered each other.
If he hadn't lost the Eternal Flame, Surtur wouldn't have even bothered with Laufey.
Now, to make Jotunheim submit, that was excellent.
Although Surtur always prided himself on bringing Ragnarok to Asgard, he did somewhat admire Odin, his old adversary.
Unifying the Nine Realms!
Now that Asgard was almost finished, Surtur's great undertaking would begin with the destruction of Asgard and the subjugation of Jotunheim!
As for the casket of ancient winters, what if Laufey had it after he reclaimed the Eternal Flame?
Whoosh whoosh whoosh~~~~
Accompanied by the desolate, tragic sound of horns, the Frost Giants retreated in an orderly fashion, while a large number of Fire Giants surrounded them.
At this point, the battlefield was once again divided into two.
The Frost Giants and the Vanir bandits began to furiously assault the palace position, while all the Fire Giants were redirected to besiege Rimuru.
The fierce battle began anew!
Since Rimuru was so skilled in ice magic, then fire magic must certainly be his weakness.
God's Judgement?
For the Fire Giants, while it caused damage, it was far less damaging than ice magic.
Fire and ice countered each other; Rimuru was definitely a mortal enemy of the Fire Giants.
But the Fire Giants could also use their flames to burn Rimuru to ashes!
"Rimuru Tempest? The Nine Realms don't need another Odin!"
Fire King Surtur, holding the Twilight Sword, gave the order to attack.
Instantly,
The ice mountains Rimuru had previously created began to melt on a large scale, the ice turned into meltwater, the meltwater evaporated into white mist, and the white mist then vanished in an instant.
Having learned from the Frost Giants' lesson, the Fire Giants were more numerous, their formations more organized, and their distance from Rimuru greater!
With Fire King Surtur personally commanding, their strength increased by more than one level!
"Flames!"
At Surtur's command, all the Fire Giants simultaneously released fire.
Fire rained down from the sky, like the end of the world, and the world instantly plunged into a sea of fire.
As expected of the divine flames released by the Fire Giant army, the temperature was terrifyingly high.
Trees were incinerated, living beings perished, rocks melted; in a few blinks of an eye, what was just a wonderland of birdsong and fragrant flowers became a desolate world of fire.
This…
Let alone others, even Rimuru was somewhat shocked.
The power of an army truly was magnificent, capable of transforming the world in an instant.
If these powers were unleashed in a human city, the entire city might face a great extinction in a very short time.
The Avengers were incredibly shocked!
The Fire Giants' attack method was far more ferocious compared to the Frost Giants.
Facing such power, could humans truly resist it?
Even the cynical Tony's face was filled only with fear and worry!
Then, everyone saw Rimuru standing leisurely in the endless sea of fire, his blue hair fluttering, his clothes not even singed.
Surtur: "???"
All Fire Giants: "???"
