Now.
Odin sits high on the throne.
Although his silver-white beard suggests that the King of the Gods is no longer young, his divine power has not diminished at all.
Coupled with his golden battle armor, a fierce and domineering aura radiates toward those around him.
No one can doubt that Asgard will remain stable as long as Odin sits on the throne.
The position of the Lord of the Nine Realms will never be shaken.
"There is some instability in Vanaheim, King of the Gods."
The person under the throne is Heimdall, the patron saint responsible for guarding the Rainbow Bridge and monitoring the Nine Realms for Odin.
"A group of rebels are secretly planning a rebellion."
"In the next few days, they prepare to contact other people, gather together, and then provoke a war to seize dominance of Vanaheim and destroy the peace of the Nine Realms."
"Several stone giants were also found among them."
"Do we need to take immediate action?"
Heimdall speaks in a calm and unhurried manner.
It is not a big deal if someone rebels in Vanaheim.
Because of Odin's benevolent governance, Asgard is only the nominal master of the Nine Realms.
Several other worlds are governed by the original races in their respective regions.
Asgard does not even have the right to command them, especially the fire giants and frost giants.
And Vanaheim also hides many unwilling individuals.
To a certain extent, they are all forced by Asgard's might; they outwardly recognize its status.
But in fact, they all have hidden agendas.
Once something happens to Asgard, they will immediately launch a war of resistance in an attempt to overthrow Asgard's dominance.
Especially in recent years, Odin has grown older and resistance has gradually increased more and more often.
They are testing Asgard, testing whether Odin's vision is still sharp, and testing whether the time has come.
In fact, the current situation cannot be completely resolved at all.
Unless these races are entirely wiped out, just as the dark elves were dealt with in the beginning.
Even with Odin, the most powerful god in existence, sitting in charge, this fact cannot be changed.
The reason is simple.
Asgard has a serious shortage of troops.
Compared with several other large realms, the Aesir clan has the smallest number of members.
In addition, over the past tens of thousands of years of fighting across the realms, too many soldiers have died one after another.
It is different from the original conquest of the dark elves. Compared with that earlier period, the army is now much smaller. The reason why Odin did not want to continue expanding was partly due to this factor.
Asgard needed to recuperate.
Now that it has established a reputation, there is no need to resort to military force.
At least within the scope of the Nine Realms, Asgard is the absolute king!
As long as each realm stays in its own territory and does not cause trouble, he will turn a blind eye.
As for incidents like those in Vanaheim, Asgard will send someone to deal with it.
After all, Hogan, one of the Three Warriors, came from there.
As Hogan's friend, Thor will not sit idly by.
Of course, Odin cannot ignore it either.
Because the Queen Frigga is also from Vanaheim.
"What is Thor doing?"
Odin asks a question that has nothing to do with Vanaheim's rebellion.
Heimdall activates his all-seeing eye to look and immediately replies, "He is training swordsmanship with Fandral and others."
Odin nods slightly. Yes, he has finally stopped fooling around and now understands the importance of training.
"Go ahead and tell Thor, and let him and his friends prepare to lead the people to suppress the rebels in a week."
"I understand, God King." Heimdall takes the order and leaves.
He has no intention of asking Odin why he must delay departure for a week.
At this time, Frigga walks in.
Seeing her, Odin's imposing presence softens instantly.
Although he and Frigga entered a political marriage, Frigga used her unique charisma to earn recognition from him and the entire Aesir people.
She is fully worthy of the title of Queen of Heaven.
"Something happened again in Vanaheim?" Frigga looks worried, feeling uneasy about the turmoil caused by the coming war.
"It will be fine, just a few minor issues that I need to use to lure out more rats so I can kill them all."
Without waiting for Frigga to ask, Odin explains his decision to delay sending troops.
He does not want Frigga to misunderstand him.
"Thor has grown up and is the future king of Asgard."
"In addition to strong strength and wisdom, he also needs a crown forged by countless military exploits to crown him."
"This time, I still asked Thor to lead the Three Warriors to suppress the unrest. Only in this way can he gain more recognition from the army and the people."
"We have to let them know that Thor can lead them to victory."
"He is also capable enough to defend Asgard and protect the peace and stability of the Nine Realms!"
Frigga nods lightly. She is smart and immediately understands Odin's painstaking efforts.
In addition to maintaining the peace of the Nine Realms, this battle is more of Thor's personal showcase.
They want to establish an invincible God of Thunder who can successfully inherit the throne in the future.
Although it will involve bloodshed, a lot of bloodshed, for Thor's sake, she still endures it and stops interfering.
Afterwards, Frigga talks about a past incident.
"Do you still remember a soldier named Manning from that battle 1,000 years ago?"
"Manning? He is a powerful and heroic warrior with indomitable courage."
Odin only frowns for a moment before he recalls this person. His powerful memory is enough to remember any member of the Aesir clan he has seen.
"I remember, he has been…"
Frigga nods, and then mentions another name, "He has a son named Aaron."
"Aaron Manningson…"
Although he does not know why Frigga mentions this name, Odin still remembers it.
As for the reason?
Just because he is the son of a hero is enough.
Frigga continues, "Manning gave birth to a good child, and Aaron's magical talent is better than mine!"
