The Comprehensive Evolution of American Comics.

Chapter 719 The Coming War

Odin's Treasury, to put it bluntly, is actually Odin's trophy display room, which contains various dangerous items that Odin took from his defeated enemies.

The contents of Odin's Treasury are not fixed. The contents stored in Odin's Treasury in comics, movies, animations, and other works are all different.

For example, the Ice Box or the Ancient Winter Coffin. In the movie, this thing is included in Odin's Treasury, but the location of the Ancient Winter Coffin is different in the comics and animation.

There's no way around it. Marvel Comics is just too big, and it's hard for these authors to reach a consensus when creating. It's not just about the storage location of something, there have even been cases where a character has clearly died but has been inexplicably resurrected.

So even Yang Le was not very clear about what was in Odin's treasury. Maybe there were Infinity Stones in it.

But there is no point in thinking so much. You will know it once the treasure house is opened. However, since Odin can bring Yang Le here, it means that he really regards Yang Le as his own.

Not to mention ordinary people, even Odin's descendants are not qualified to come here casually. If they want to enter Odin's treasury, they must get Odin's approval. No one else has this power, not even Queen Frigga.

"This gate and the treasury itself were built by the Dwarf King himself, led by a group of Nidavellir's finest craftsmen. It's infused with precious metals, including uru metal, and even a branch from the World Tree."

Odin placed his hand on the gate, stroking it like a work of art, and explained as he did so.

"Branches of the World Tree?" Yang Le was a little surprised. The World Tree that carries the nine realms is not an ordinary thing. In the comics, the World Tree has many wonderful appearances. For example, the handle of Mjolnir's hammer is made of branches of the World Tree.

Don't underestimate this branch; it may even be stronger than Mjolnir's hammer.

"It seems you are aware of its greatness." Odin nodded. "Any item stored in my treasury could pose a danger to the Nine Realms, so we must treat it with caution."

"Even if I want to attack this treasure house head-on, it will take a lot of effort. The only way to open it easily is to rely on my divine words. Open the door."

As soon as Odin finished speaking, the exquisite patterns on the door began to move, pulsating as if they had come alive. The circular lock core in the center of the door began to rotate, and with a series of clicking sounds, the door slowly opened.

Unlike the exquisite gate outside, the interior of Odin's Treasury is very simple. There is a long corridor that is wide enough for two or three people to walk side by side, and there is a stone pillar erected at a certain distance on both sides of the corridor.

There is a stone platform in the center of every two stone pillars, and all kinds of magical things are placed on the stone platform.

Yang Le took a quick look and saw a stone basin at first glance. What was contained in the basin was not some tangible substance, but a raging fire that was constantly burning.

Yang Le recognized what it was at first sight. This was not an ordinary flame used for lighting. It should be the eternal fire that Odin took from Muspelheim.

The Eternal Fire is one of the sources of Surtur's power. Surtur with it and without it are like two different people. Odin stole it from Muspelheim specifically to weaken Surtur's power.

It was precisely because of the lack of the Eternal Flame that Surtur was defeated in his duel with Odin. Otherwise, their powers would have been evenly matched. Yang Le then saw some familiar objects, such as the Ancient Winter Coffin. This one was closer to its comic counterpart, an exquisite red box with gold trim, and a skull in the center as a lock.

Next, there were some treasures that were taken away, or things that Yang Le did not recognize. In short, there were indeed a lot of things contained in Odin's treasury, more than Yang Le had expected.

Odin led Yang Le deeper into the cave and stopped at an empty stone platform. Needless to say, Yang Le understood what Odin meant and placed his Sky Hammer on it first.

After putting the Sky Hammer away, Yang Le took two steps back and walked out of the range of the two pillars. Just after he stepped out, a blue light curtain suddenly appeared, but quickly disappeared.

"The second layer of defense," Odin explained. "A simple yet reliable shield that protects these things while also acting as an alarm. When someone triggers the shield, the entire Asgard will hear the alarm."

"It's time for us to go, kid." Odin said as he walked outside first. It seemed that not only did he not regard Yang Le as an outsider, but he also trusted Yang Le very much. He did not block Yang Le's sight along the way.

Of course, Yang Le himself has no interest in these things. The little broken watch is too comprehensive, and coupled with the bionic QQ he built himself, it is difficult for these external things to move him now.

In a place where Yang Le couldn't see, Odin was actually observing him. After discovering that Yang Le just glanced at it twice and didn't look at anything in the treasure house, Odin nodded slightly and became more satisfied with Yang Le.

Odin spoke again only after the two of them walked out of the treasure house.

"Son, I have a favor to ask."

"Huh? What's the matter?"

Yang Le looked at Odin in confusion. He felt that the God King in front of him was too polite, and even made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"I hope you can help Thor deal with the upcoming crisis." Odin turned and stared at Yang Le with his only remaining eye. "I am very dissatisfied with the prophecy that is about to happen. You think you can take my son's life with just one sentence? Don't even think about it."

"Even if the child in the prophecy is not Thor, it won't work. Asgardians can die gloriously on the battlefield, but they must never die from a boring prophecy."

"I started working on this prophecy thousands of years ago. Asgard, Nidavellir, and Vanaheim are all ready now. But this matter is even more complex than I imagined. Even the Dark Elves are involved."

"Malekith is a cunning man. He will not fight an unprepared battle. He alone cannot challenge the alliance of the three realms. In order to release the seal of the Serpent, he will definitely unite with others."

"I don't know how many people he has united with, Jotunheim? Muspelheim? Or even Helheim? The Asgardians are not afraid of challenges, but this time the flames of war may spread to Midgard."

"I hope you can unite the talented individuals of Midgard and form a team," Odin said, his eyes blazing. "Once the war begins, it will be difficult for us to protect Midgard. I hope you will do your best to protect yourselves."
