Chapter 414 - Chapter 414 Ghosts in the Twilight of the Gods

The divine power dispersed by Odin, which was absorbed by the duplicate of Wonder Woman, was all transferred to him.

The power of the gods!

Anton clenched his fists. This was originally Odin divine power, but now it belonged to him.

He could clearly sense a warm current flowing through his body. This power was very gentle, but when activated, it also had an explosive component.

Furthermore, it continuously strengthened his physique, surging through his body, invigorating and uplifting him.

"The gift from the God-King is truly extraordinary..."

Anton exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Being familiar with Wonder Woman power, he knew clearly that under the influence of Odin divine power, he had completely transformed. To some extent, he now rivaled the gods from Asgard.

Most importantly, this was not power from any system, but truly his own.

Anton thoughts circled back, and he unconsciously smiled.

He slightly extended his hand, his fingers spread, and a milky white orb of light hovered at the center of his palm, moving up and down with his thoughts.

The orb brewed with astonishing energy fluctuations, as if it could easily demolish a building.

However, at this moment, the orb, cradled in Anton palm, could not escape his control and obediently bowed its head.

The next moment, Anton casually waved his hand, and the orb dissipated into nothingness.

"I really hit the jackpot!" he muttered to himself. "It embarrassing... It seems I need to take the initiative to help Asgard resolve the Twilight of the Gods."

On the rooftop.

Thor and Wonder Woman witnessed Odin death, his divine power released and flowing into their bodies like a coronation.

Thor physique was also enhanced by Odin divine power.

And the scattered divine power from Odin absorbed by Wonder Woman ended up benefiting Anton, who was at the company.

"Thor..."

Seeing Thor staring blankly at the spot where Odin had died, or rather disappeared, Wonder Woman took the initiative to break the silence.

"At this point, you must have heard what Odin said."

"What?"

Thor came back to his senses, hesitating for a moment: "About the Twilight of the Gods?"

"Correct."

Wonder Woman nodded, knowing from Thor reaction that he didn't fully understand the Twilight of the Gods.

"The Twilight of the Gods is just a legend."

Indeed, Thor said, "I don't know why Father would mention this. Does he really think Asgard will be destroyed?"

"If you don't believe it, you can ask Heimdall."

Wonder Woman continued, "Since Heimdall could transport you here, it means he is aware of my conversation with Odin."

"I don't want to explain..."

She paused, then added, "Let go, we should return to Asgard quickly. That woman will probably appear soon. I'll follow the agreement with Odin and summon Superman to help Asgard resolve the disaster and change its fate."

Thor didn't speak, but he gestured for Heimdall to bring him and Wonder Woman back.

In fact, Thor was not entirely ignorant about the Twilight of the Gods.

Before disappearing, Odin had mentioned related topics to him, albeit in a very obscure manner.

Thor, not prone to deep thought, naturally didn't ponder it seriously.

Moreover.

The Twilight of the Gods was also mentioned in some Asgardian legends and prophecies.

But perhaps only Odin truly understood that these legends and prophecies were real.

Over time, many figures were erased from history for various reasons, turning some people vengeful words into so-called legends and prophecies.

Soon, Heimdall activated the Bifrost, and a beam of rainbow light enveloped Thor and Wonder Woman, quickly transporting them back.

Only a magical mark was left on the rooftop where they had been.

Moments later.

The Ninja Turtles, alerted by a report from the citizens of New York, swiftly arrived at the rooftop and saw the mark on the ground, recognizing it as a trace left by Thor.

However, having arrived late, they naturally had no idea what had actually happened.

They looked at each other.

"Let forget it and go back for some pizza," one suggested. "Remember, George promised a few days ago to treat our whole squad."

"The happenings in New York can't escape Batman network. We'd better go back and ask Anton directly what happened here."

"That makes sense."

The Ninja Turtles nodded to each other and left the rooftop.

Today New York Police Department was quite different from before.

With their vague interactions with the Justice League, the Ninja Turtles and the NYPD task force had become the stars of New York, which was now routine.

It worth mentioning that after several clean-ups, George Stacy and the Ninja Turtles were fed up.

They straightforwardly approached New York top underground organization, the High Table.

Since then, the NYPD task force had covertly connected with the High Table Continental Hotel, establishing a certain level of cooperation.

Though this alliance wasn't entirely reliable, it proved to be quite useful.

The High Table, known for its strict adherence to rules, reduced a lot of trouble for the NYPD and allowed the citizens of New York to enjoy more peace.

Wonder Woman and Thor arrived at the central hub of the Bifrost.

Heimdall stepped down from the control podium, looked at Thor, and said calmly, "From now on, you are the King of Gods, Thor."

"Heimdall..."

Thor was about to say something, then closed his mouth, his expression indescribable. He felt no joy or excitement about assuming the position of God King.

Although he had always known he was the sole heir to the throne, when the day actually arrived, his heart felt no stir, only a tinge of sadness.

Because it meant that Odin, his father, was dead.

"Regardless, what we need to do now is prepare a perfect funeral for our father."

After a moment of silence, Thor finally spoke.

"You are right," Heimdall agreed.

Then, his gaze shifted to Wonder Woman.

"Diana."

He thought for a moment and slowly said, "As for the Twilight of the Gods, what do you plan to do?"

Wonder Woman, upon hearing this, looked at Heimdall with some surprise, as if she had discerned some information from his expression.

"This is my business."

She said indifferently, "Since Odin has entrusted this matter entirely to me, I need not report to you... you just need to wait and see the results."

Heimdall frowned slightly.

As the god who oversees the Nine Realms, he had some knowledge of the secrets within Asgard.

He had some speculations about the Twilight of the Gods and had intended to share them with Wonder Woman, but he didn't expect her to so decisively refuse his offer to help.

Heimdall said no more and led them toward the palace.

"Thor, give me a map of the palace."

Upon arriving at the palace, Wonder Woman looked around, released her divine senses, and then gestured to Thor.

Thor looked towards Heimdall.

Heimdall, feeling helpless, commanded the guards stationed at the palace, "Take her wherever she wants to go."

He then said to Wonder Woman, "We don't have a map, but every guard here is a walking map. You can ask them for directions."

"Alright, I will act on my own then."

Wonder Woman nodded, "Don't worry about the Twilight of the Gods, I will handle everything."

With that, she turned and left swiftly.

Heimdall and Thor watched her depart. Although they had no objections to her due to their knowledge and trust in Odin, and the last words he had spoken, they still found Wonder Woman approach somewhat perplexing.

They clearly felt that Wonder Woman seemed reluctant to let them get involved in this matter. Did she think they would hinder her?

As some of the mightiest warriors in all of Asgard, they subconsciously dismissed this possibility, which only deepened their confusion.

But their exact avoidance of the right answer naturally led them into confusion.

"She must know something."

Seeing Wonder Woman walk away, Heimdall suddenly spoke, startling Thor.

"Know what?"

Thor was extremely puzzled, "About the Twilight of the Gods? What exactly is the Twilight of the Gods? Asgard being destroyed in the future...

how is that possible? How could such legends be taken seriously by my father? Was he really hiding something from us?"

He paused, then a thought struck him, "Speaking of which, Father sent me to Earth to find Loki, who had escaped from the palace prison.

But I searched the entire Earth and found no trace of Loki. I'm certain he not on Earth...

Maybe Loki never left Asgard. Heimdall, do you think it possible that the Twilight of the Gods is related to Loki?"

"It very likely."

Heimdall nodded, "But I have another discovery."

"Oh?"

Thor asked, "What discovery?"

"In our history, it seems there is a figure who was deliberately erased—a ghost wandering through various myths and legends..."

Heimdall frowned, "I noticed something was off a long time ago but didn't take it seriously...

until just now, the final words spoken by our King to Wonder Woman before he died made me very suspicious... He definitely knew what the Twilight of the Gods was."

"He seemed regretful..."

Hearing Heimdall words, Thor suddenly realized, remembering Odin expression before his death.

Although there was a resignation to life, there was also a trace of regret.

"I know!"

He slapped his hand.

"What?"

Heimdall looked expectantly, "Do you know what the Twilight of the Gods is, and why Odin felt regret?"

"No."

Thor shook his head, "I mean, since we don't know anything and are just guessing wildly, why don't we ask Mother?"

"Go ask the Queen Mother..."

Heimdall thought for a moment and nodded.

Although he felt helpless about Thor suggestion, he had to admit that it seemed like the best course of action at the moment.

While Heimdall and Thor headed to Frigga chamber, Wonder Woman, led by the palace guards, had already arrived at the location within the palace that recorded the grand history of Asgard.

This was also the grand hall of the palace.

However, Odin had not called a meeting of the gods there for a long time.

The walls and dome of the hall were covered with colorful murals depicting thousands of years of Asgard history.

Yet, there was no portrait of Hela.

In every scene, there was no trace of Hela.

This was perhaps why, after returning to Asgard, Hela decided to start a massacre.

Frankly, Odin had indeed deeply hurt her.

Moreover, Wonder Woman knew that Odin hadn't sealed Hela in—

Odin wasn't that foolish.

Hela madness and ambition were so immense that even Odin felt terrified.

Hela didn't just want to dominate the Nine Realms she wanted to dominate the entire universe, to have the entire universe bow at her feet, and have everyone kneel and eagerly kiss her toes.

Wonder Woman reason for being in the grand hall was actually to wait for Hela return.

As a symbol of the transfer of power in Asgard, the grand hall was a place Hela was bound to come to.

Not to mention, the murals around and on the dome recorded Asgard history.

Hela would definitely want to see if she was included in the history.

Whether this world still recognized her.

Once the great princess of Asgard, Odin first child, who helped Odin conquer the Nine Realms, served as Asgard executioner, the original owner of Mjolnir, and a great deity who silenced the entire Nine Realms...

"You may leave."

Wonder Woman glanced at the guard beside her and ordered indifferently, "I don't need you here anymore, and make sure no one comes to disturb me."

"Yes."

The guard nodded and immediately left.

In Asgard Queen Mother, Odin wife Frigga chamber,

Thor approached his mother.

"Mother."

He looked sorrowfully at the woman before him, "Father has died, returning to the embrace of the universe."

"I know."

Frigga was very calm, as if she had long known this day would come and had prepared for it.

She embraced Thor, stroked his face, smoothing away the sorrow, and whispered softly,

"Actually, you know, Thor, I was supposed to die before him, but some events changed all that fate... You should thank your brother."

"Brother? Loki?"

Thor furrowed his brows, confused, "Mother, what does all this mean? What does it have to do with Loki? Before Father died, he also emphasized the Twilight of the Gods… Is the Twilight of the Gods related to Loki too?"

"No."

Frigga shook her head, speaking openly, "The Twilight of the Gods does indeed involve your siblings, but the origin is not Loki, it your sister."

"Sister?"

Thor was stunned, "I have a sister?"

"Yes."

Frigga nodded, her gaze drifting into memory,

"That was many years ago, before Odin had ruled the Nine Realms... Your sister was the executioner of Asgard, and also the former owner of Mjolnir.

She was exceptional, and much of Odin ability to rule the Nine Realms was due to her efforts…"
