"Frigga..." He used telepathy to transmit his final voice to the ear of the Queen fighting desperately nearby.
"Take Thor and Loki, and our people... to Earth."
"If I cannot hold them back, you must fight to the very last second alongside the Avengers of Earth."
"This is what we owe him!"
After saying this, he took a deep breath, gathering all the remaining divine power of Asgard into the Eternal Spear in his hand!
He intended to use his final life force to mobilize the full power of the Bifrost Bridge, and perish together with these two arch-enemies and their minions!
A golden light erupted from him with unprecedented intensity, illuminating the entire battlefield with this power.
Thanos and Gorr's expressions changed drastically; they felt a death threat from that light capable of completely obliterating them!
However, just as Odin was about to release the attack of the Bifrost Bridge.
A ghostly figure appeared behind him without warning.
It was Mephisto!
This lord from Hell had been hiding around Odin, searching for a chance for a one-hit kill!
Under normal circumstances, Odin would certainly have been able to detect Mephisto's invisibility, but at this moment, he held the Reality Stone!
He used the power of the Reality Stone to hide himself in another dimension.
Such concealment left even the King of Gods helpless!
And now, the moment had arrived.
Squelch!
A dagger, condensed from demonic power mixed with Aether Particle, silently pierced the gap in his golden armor and plunged deep into Odin's heart.
Odin's body stiffened violently.
The golden light on his body, capable of destroying heaven and Earth, dissipated instantly like a punctured balloon.
He turned his head with difficulty and saw Mephisto's face, which wore an elegant smile.
"A generation's King of Gods, ending just like this. Truly... a beautiful tragedy." Mephisto's voice was soft, yet colder than the most vicious curse.
"You..."
Odin only had time to utter a single word before the breath of life faded away like flowing water.
He only had time to throw gungnir toward Loki, who was closest to him, before his tall body slowly fell, sinking into the endless deep space.
King of the Nine Realms, All-Father, Odin Borson.
Fallen.
Not far away, Thor, Loki, and Frigga witnessed this scene that made their eyes split with rage.
"No!!!"
Thor let out an angry roar, and the lightning on his body illuminated the desolate starry sky as bright as day.
He held mjolnir high, determined to risk his life to fight Mephisto regardless of the consequences.
But Frigga and Loki grabbed his cape from left and right.
"Do not look back!"
Frigga's eyes filled with tears, but her voice was exceptionally firm:
"Go to Earth! This is his final order!"
"If we all die here, that would truly be letting down Peter, and letting down your father's sacrifice!"
Frigga's words extinguished Thor's rage.
He had no choice but to lead the remaining Asgardian warriors with tears in his eyes, fleeing toward that blue Planet with the power of the Bifrost Bridge.
...
Earth.
Avengers Base.
The piercing alarm never ceased, and everyone's faces were filled with gravity.
Through the real-time images transmitted back by the "Sky Eye," they witnessed the entire process of Odin's death in battle. That tragic scene made everyone feel a chill from the bottom of their hearts.
Even the King of Gods, Odin, actually...
"They are here."
Captain America watched the massive fleet approaching on the screen, sweat faintly appearing on his hand gripping his shield.
"Then we fight." Tony Stark put on his latest nano-armor, the faceplate closing to hide his complex expression,
"No matter what, at least hold on until Peter returns!"
"That's right! At least hold on until Peter returns!" Gwen slammed her fist onto the desk, the golden bracer Peter left her on her wrist shining brilliantly.
Although this opponent was more troublesome than the previous Skrulls.
The group's fighting spirit was incredibly high, because everyone was convinced of one reality, which was... Peter was not dead, and he would definitely come back!
When the Chitauri army descended over the Pacific Ocean, all members of the Avengers and the Asgardian army stood ready.
But without the top combat power of Odin and Peter, it was still too difficult to fight against the three major villains.
Despite the blessings of the artifacts Peter left behind, and despite the Superheroes being able to destroy hundreds of Chitauri Soldiers with a wave of their hands, the scales of victory were visibly tipping toward Thanos's side.
The reason was simple: the three monsters standing at the peak of the battlefield were simply too strong.
Those three only needed to make a slight move to make Scarlet Witch or Thor break into a cold sweat.
The rest of the Superheroes couldn't even take a single blow from these three monsters.
Just as the sense of powerlessness in everyone's hearts grew stronger, a circular portal slowly opened in the center of the battlefield.
The Sorcerer Ancient One, dressed in monk robes, walked out from it.
The appearance of the Ancient One made both sides on the battlefield pause.
"This ends here, invaders."
"Earth is not a place where you can act recklessly."
As she spoke, the Ancient One formed hand seals, and the entire New York City was instantly pulled into the Mirror Dimension.
Countless skyscrapers began to flip and fold, turning into bizarre geometric cages, trapping the Chitauri army within.
This legendary Sorcerer Supreme, with her own power, temporarily isolated the entire battlefield.
Thanos, however, remained unmoved; he just stared at the Time Stone glowing with a soft green light on the Ancient One's chest, a greedy glint appearing in his eyes:
"I thought you came to hand over the Time Stone."
To this, the Ancient One just smiled calmly:
"You are indeed strong, but you are destined not to obtain the Eye of Agamotto."
"Why?" A rare look of interest appeared on Thanos's purple face:
"Could it be that you have already used the Time Stone to see a future where you win?"
"You are right." The Ancient One returned the smile; in her smile, there was no despair, only an understanding that saw through everything:
"I have browsed through countless parallel universes and seen all possible outcomes of this war."
"Oh?" Thanos asked with interest:
"How many futures have you seen in total?"
"Fourteen million, six hundred and five." The Ancient One answered.
"Then," Thanos leaned forward slightly, his purple face filled with mockery, "how many times did you win in total?"
"Once, five times, or ten times?"
He felt that ten in fourteen million was already an incredible "high probability" for his current opponents.
But opposite him, after hearing this question, the smile on the Ancient One's face suddenly became somewhat... strange:
"It's not that difficult."
"The answer is... fourteen million, six hundred and four."
The smile of certain victory on Thanos's face froze.
It was replaced by an expression bordering on frustrated anger:
"That's impossible!"
"You can fool me, but don't fool yourself!"
Facing Thanos's roar, the Ancient One still smiled lightly:
"Unfortunately, what I said is the truth."
"Because in the futures I have seen, no matter how arduous the process, no matter how heavy the sacrifices..."
Speaking of this, she suddenly tilted her head to look at the girl in the hooded Battle Suit fighting not far away, and continued in a tone of amazement:
"...when the hope of seven billion people converges at a single point, there will always be that one person who carries this hope and descends from the sky."
The moment her voice fell.
A purple light shield emerged from thin air upon Gwen's delicate body!
