Chapter 826 The End of the War
Odin died, surrounded by his family.

With the help of the strong Frigga, Odin's body turned into starlight and returned to Asgard, the land he had led for nearly ten thousand years.

Seeing the look Frigga was giving him, Thor reacted immediately. He raised the sword Odin that Odin had just given him. Rays of lightning wrapped around the sword, and the next second golden light shot up into the sky.

This ray of light is a sharp sword, allowing the evil parties lurking in the shadows to witness the power of the new God-King. It is also a straight road, pointing the way to Valhalla for the deceased previous God-King Odin.

Under the gaze of everyone, Odin's soul gradually appeared. He just glanced at everyone present, then turned around and flew into the sky without saying anything.

Gradually, the light that shot up into the sky dissipated, and Thor took back the sword of Odin. Until now, he still had a feeling of unreality in his heart.

The invincible old man in his memory suddenly died, and then handed the throne of the God King to him. It all seemed like a dream.

Frigga seemed to see her child's confusion. She waved her hand to dismiss everyone, leaving only herself and Thor in the back garden.

"What's wrong, kid?" Frigga guided her child to sit on the chair where Odin had just sat.

"I'm so sorry, mother." Thor set the sword aside. "You should be sadder than me, but I, your useless son, still need your comfort."

"Don't say that, child." Frigga held Thor's hand. "When a loved one dies, we all grieve the same. There shouldn't be any distinction between high and low in this regard."

"Besides, I'm your mother. I should have stepped forward to guide you at this time."

Thor was silent for a moment, then said, "I'm just a little... overwhelmed. I'm not ready yet and haven't been able to accept his departure."

"We were not prepared, child. Your father caught us off guard this time." Frigga smiled bitterly.

"But that's how life is. Nothing will happen until you're ready. Just like your father, he was given the task at a critical moment and led a makeshift group to rebel against your uncle."

Thor was slightly stunned. His father Odin started by overthrowing his brother and ascending the throne of the Gods, and ended by dying together with his brother. In a sense, it could be said that it had a beginning and an end.

"Although it's a little hard to say, that was indeed the time when your father was at his most heroic. Most of the people around him were attracted to him at that time, even me."

A smile appeared on Frigga's face, but it quickly faded.

"My child, I want to tell you that this world won't wait for you to be ready. You can only be prepared at all times, just like the previous God Kings. We will always be by your side."

Thor was silent for a moment before he spoke again, "Thank you, Mom. I'm much better now."

Frigga patted Thor's hand. She knew she should give her son some time, so she stood up without saying anything else and left the garden.

After Frigga left, Thor slumped in his seat as if all his strength had been drained away, unlike Odin who was still sitting upright even though he was about to die.

"Perhaps I'm not cut out for this." Thor rubbed his eyes, and finally looked out of the garden, towards the fertile Asgard.

...

The funeral of the previous God King, Odin, was scheduled for three days later. Everyone with close ties to Asgard had been invited, including Yang Le and the others. This was the first news Yang Le received after returning to Earth, conveyed by Heimdall. Heimdall also apologized to him on Thor's behalf. He should have said it to Yang Le personally, but Thor was too busy to find the time.

It was at this time that Yang Le learned that Thor had become the King of Gods. This was not unexpected, but Yang Le did not expect that Odin would die at this time.

But it’s okay. Thor in the 9527 universe inherited Odin’s power and became a father-like strong man in one fell swoop, which is far stronger than Thor in the movie universe.

Yang Le naturally accepted Thor's invitation with pleasure. Given the goodwill shown to them by Asgard, it was reasonable for him to attend Odin's funeral.

Of course, Thor invited more than just him. Gwen was also invited. Yang Le also found Gwen and asked for her opinion, and the latter naturally accepted it with pleasure.

Gwen was still feeling lost for a while, as she didn't expect that the seemingly gentle old man would die in this war. It turned out that no matter what the cause of the war was, it was always a sad thing.

Of course, Gwen was not so sad just because of Odin's departure, but also because of the devastation around her. The destruction brought by this war was too much.

According to Franklin's statistics, most of the earth's losses were economic, because the giant snake needed humans to provide reasons for fear, so the actual number of human deaths was far less than that during the second village strife.

It's hardly even one-tenth of it, but the situation in the other realms is different.

Jotunheim lost the Giant King and thousands of elite Frost Giants, the Dark Elf King of Watalheim, and an entire army of 10,000 people was almost wiped out by Black Bolt alone.

The Fire Queen of Muspelheim was captured alive, and the army was annihilated by the Ice Ghost. The mistress of the underworld of Muspelheim, the goddess of death Hela, was seriously injured and had to hide back in the underworld.

All the angels on the Heaven's battleship, including the Angel Queen, died. Only Angela escaped because she failed to return to the main ship, but she still lost consciousness due to the explosion.

When Franklin went back to rescue her, she had already fainted on a rock, and her space suit was completely torn. If it weren't for her true identity as an Aesir, she would have died in the universe long ago.

Not to mention Vanaheim and Nidavellir, Asgard also suffered heavy losses and lost a God-King.

At this point, the grand war of the ten realms and the event of the origin of fear finally ended.

Every organization involved in the battle suffered heavy losses. In terms of damage, there were no winners in this battle, only losers.

But in the end, the Earth won.

Although there have been considerable economic losses and some small countries have almost become ruins, at least people are still there, so there is still hope.

And in this war, humans also gained a group of true guardians.

Yang Le turned his gaze towards the ruins, where a group of people with green light were moving back and forth among the ruins, and a group of people bonded by family were helping others.
