Chapter 2004 The Ascension of Asgard's Origin; With this new foundation, a new legend will be created!
"In the end, I just didn't realize where the rewards from the time traveler mission should be used."
"The chat group simply gave me the most suitable reward based on what I wanted."
Tony shook his head, feeling the inexhaustible wellspring of inspiration in his mind, the mental power that seemed capable of dismantling the universe and reconstructing truth.
This time, it was used in the most appropriate way.
If the path of the past was about accumulating strength and means to arm ourselves for "protection," then the path of the future will be about exploring the essence and creating, liberating ourselves for "exploration"!
Jarvis.
Tony suddenly spoke up.
"Yes, sir."
Jarvis's voice remained calm as he awaited Tony's instructions.
Tony did not immediately give specific instructions.
He turned around, his gaze seemingly piercing through the alloy walls of Stark Tower, sweeping across the dazzling lights of New York, over the azure horizon, and gazing into the boundless universe.
His chest rose and fell slightly, a surge of unprecedented ambition and sense of responsibility stirring within him.
"Let us do more than just protect the land beneath our feet."
He raised his arm, his fingers pointing towards the starry sky outside the window, as if he wanted to take the vast sea of stars into his palm.
"Let us truly bring this planet, and human civilization, out of its cradle."
"To realize the dream of crossing the sea of stars and setting foot in the starry sky."
This is not a question, nor an imperative, but a declaration.
It is a king who has just grasped the reins of wisdom issuing a command to his most trusted partner to usher in a new era.
A brief silence.
The data stream of the holographic projection seemed to freeze for a moment.
Then Jarvis's voice rang out again.
"As always, sir."
Meanwhile, at the other end of the Marvel Universe, at the pinnacle of the Nine Realms, lies Asgard.
The smoke of war has cleared, and Thanos's fleet has long been destroyed.
After this battle, Tony did not immediately return to Earth, but instead took on more responsibilities for border defense and patrolling the Nine Realms; and the warriors of Asgard became even more loyal to Loki, the God-King.
Inside the Golden Palace, on the throne, Loki composed himself, his emerald eyes filled with an unprecedented solemnity and a hint of anticipation.
The victory in the war brought peace, but the future of Asgard requires more than just peace.
He needs power, he needs a foundation, he needs to make this divine realm that gave him birth and that he is determined to protect truly powerful.
Powerful enough to cope with any possible crisis in the future, whether it comes from the universe itself or from outside the world.
He focused his mind and spoke to the chat group:
"Chat group, claim your reward."
"Ding! Group member [The Great King of Asgard] has been detected claiming a reward. Confirm?"
"confirm."
"Ding, strengthening the essence of Asgard."
As the chat group chat ended, a profound and far-reaching "change," difficult to describe in words, quietly took place.
This change did not begin on the surface, but stemmed from the most fundamental "existence" of Asgard itself.
The first things to be touched were Asgard's "ley lines" and "sky".
The divine origin deeply rooted in the roots of the World Tree, the primordial divine power flowing through every inch of land and every breath of air, seemed to be gently awakened from a long slumber.
Invisible ripples spread from the Golden Palace to the entirety of Asgard and its adjacent dimensions; this was not a destructive impact, but rather a nurturing caress like a mother comforting her child, or a gardener tidying up the roots.
The [Original Sublimation] has taken effect.
The "rules" of Asgard have become more stable.
The land, once destroyed and then restored in war, is now bursting with life at an unprecedented pace.
The tiny cracks healed themselves, and the lingering signs of decay were purified by pure divine energy.
The natural defensive barrier enveloping the divine realm, the barrier formed by the blessing of the World Tree and the collective will of Asgard, has quietly increased in thickness and strength by several orders of magnitude, significantly enhancing both its external defensive capabilities and its internal energy constraint.
More importantly, a gentle and continuous source of nourishment spreads out.
Every resident of Asgard, whether a powerful divine warrior, an ordinary craftsman or commoner, or even the plants, trees, birds, beasts, insects, and fish, feels a comfort and soothingness that comes from the depths of their soul.
It was as if parched land had received sweet rain, and weary body and mind had been soothed.
Asgard's own ability to "repair" was fundamentally enhanced, nourishing the creatures that lived within it.
Immediately afterwards, a throbbing sensation originating from the depths of their blood swept through all the native gods of Asgard.
The blessing of bloodline descends.
No matter where you are in Asgard, whether you are a young warrior sweating on the training ground, an old scholar studying ancient runes in the library, a craftsman forging weapons by the forge, or a baby crying in its swaddling clothes.
The blood of the Asgardian gods in everyone's body suddenly "burned" as if dry tinder had been thrown into a blazing fire.
This is not a painful burning, but a purification of the bloodline.
The dormant potential is awakened, and the upper limit of talent is quietly raised.
The older person felt that the bottleneck that had not loosened for a long time had cracked, and their understanding of strength and mastery of skills seemed to suddenly become clear.
Young people feel that they are growing up faster, and their learning and comprehension abilities have improved significantly.
Even those with average talent felt physically stronger and mentally clearer, and techniques that were difficult to master in the past became much easier.
The overall potential and future possibilities of the Protoss have been collectively elevated to a new level.
The changes did not stop; more subtle forces began to act on the spiritual level of living beings.
[Spiritual growth] Silently permeates.
Within Asgard, the very essence of the souls of all intelligent beings is as if being cleansed and nourished in the purest spring water.
Thinking became more agile and clear, and the ancient knowledge that was previously obscure and difficult to understand, as well as the complex and mysterious principles of magic, seemed to be easier to comprehend at this moment.
Their perception of natural elements, their affinity for magical energy, and their control over their own emotions and will have all been enhanced to varying degrees.
While this enhancement doesn't grant immense power overnight, it fundamentally optimizes the "container's" quality, making the future growth path smoother and its potential higher.
Scholars felt their thoughts flow freely, artists felt their inspiration surge, and soldiers became more acute in their grasp of combat skills and their instinctive premonition of danger.
Finally, an even grander blessing, like a gentle spring rain, sprinkled across every corner of the divine realm.
The blessing of prosperity begins to appear.
The land of Asgard seems to have been infused with the most quintessential vitality.
In the Golden Palace Garden, the already extraordinary exotic flowers and plants sprouted new buds at a speed visible to the naked eye, blooming into even more magnificent flowers that contained an even richer magical glow.
Deep within the mountain veins, the veins containing rare magical minerals such as Uru metal and star sapphire trembled slightly, their formation speed accelerating and their purity seemingly increasing.
The forests are more lush, the rivers are clearer, and the magical elements in the air seem more concentrated and active.
Moreover, an invisible, positive influence involving "fate" or "fortune" began to envelop Asgard.
This is not about forcibly changing cause and effect, but rather about reducing the resistance that major, positive decisions and actions may encounter during implementation, and increasing the probability of accidental "good luck," all while adhering to Asgard's own development laws and conforming to the overall interests of its civilization.
The overall "fortune" of the divine realm is shifting towards a more prosperous, harmonious, and stable direction.
At the same time, a blessing concerning the continuation of the race also quietly takes effect.
The probability of the Asgardian gods giving birth to powerful, healthy, and exceptionally talented offspring has been implicitly increased, ensuring that the divine bloodline can be passed down and thrive at a higher level.
All these changes are as natural and harmonious as when heaven and earth were first created and all things were born.
Ultimately, these enhanced manifestations transformed into a silent "rain of light," shimmering with soft, pale gold and emerald green light, gently falling from the heavens, from the earth, and from the air, nourishing every inch of Asgard and every living being.
The light falls on us, bringing warmth and vitality; it blends into the earth, giving rise to vibrant life; it seeps into buildings, making them more solid and magnificent; it is absorbed by living beings, nourishing their blood and soul.
At this moment, the entirety of Asgard seemed to awaken completely from a deep and beneficial slumber, every pore opening up to breathe in a pure and hopeful atmosphere.
The divine realm itself was singing softly, a sound of increasingly perfect rules and a more profound origin.
On his throne, Loki clearly sensed all of this.
He could almost hear the pulse of Asgard’s joy, and sense the vitality and potential surging in the blood of every one of his people.
"This is my Asgard."
Loki murmured to himself, his emerald eyes reflecting the golden rain of light falling from the window, which illuminated his handsome face.
He slowly tightened his grip on the handle of the Eternal Spear, a genuine smile playing on his lips.
"Then let us use this new foundation to create a new legend."
“I, Loki Laufeson, King of Asgard, am here to witness and to lead.”
After Asgard's essence was fully strengthened, and the rain of light, containing new life and blessings, gradually permeated every inch of Asgard and every living being, Loki, sitting on his throne, only then began to feel the changes reaching a new peak.
The runes flowing across the Gungnir, the spear of eternity, held in his hand seemed to come alive, mingling with the divine energy of the divine realm that permeated the air and became even more active and intense.
Strands of pure and powerful golden divine light gathered from the void, from the earth, and even from the distant Asgardian palaces and the blessed people, slowly flowing into the Spear of Eternity, and then gently and firmly entering Loki's body through the spear.
This is the natural feedback and "nurturing" of Loki, the "King," to the Asgardian realm after it has been fully strengthened and its origins have become even more powerful.
The status of the Lord of Asgard was clearer and more stable than ever before, as if he had truly merged with this divine realm.
Loki's body trembled slightly as his life force was nourished by this power.
After several enhancements, Odin's bloodline was further stimulated by the energy of the divine realm, resulting in denser muscle fibers and bones that shone with a divine luster.
The vast, ocean-like divine power within his body became even more immense under the blessing of the divine realm's origin.
More importantly, his connection with the land of Asgard has become even stronger. Casting spells here will not only not consume any energy, but will actually enhance their power.
The spirit and soul are also elevated under the blessing of [spiritual growth].
Luo was already exceptionally intelligent, and now his soul has been cleansed of unseen dust, becoming even more crystal clear. His thinking speed, calculation ability, understanding of illusion, and perception of the emotions and will of others have all reached new heights.
But the most important thing is the connection with the divine realm.
Loki felt as if his "existence" was more deeply bound to Asgard.
He can perceive major events occurring within the divine realm more clearly, vaguely sense abnormal energy flows in certain places, and even, by consuming divine power, project his perception to other corners of the Nine Realms to a certain extent through the relay of the divine realm.
He is the King of Asgard, and Asgard seems to be an extension of his body and one of the sources of his power.
The whole process lasted about fifteen minutes.
As the last wisp of free-floating golden divine energy merged into Loki's body, the hum of the Spear of Eternity gradually subsided, but the light emanating from it seemed to become even more restrained and profound.
Loki slowly opened his eyes. In the depths of his emerald green eyes, it seemed as if a river of stars flowed, then instantly returned to calm, making them appear even more unfathomable.
He exhaled a long breath, then moved his arms, feeling the surging power within him—a sense of fulfillment and control.
Has their strength improved? Undoubtedly, and by a significant margin.
This is enough to give him a clear advantage when facing his former self.
Whether it's the level of authority, the strength of the physical body, or the control over the divine realm, all have reached a new level.
However, this is not a leapfrog surge.
This enhancement is built upon the foundation of Asgard's overall strengthening, a feedback and blessing to his status as "Lord of Asgard," and a natural outcome.
It strengthened Loki's foundation, broadened his potential, and endowed him with greater divine power, but did not change the nature of his power.
Even so, it's still a significant improvement for Loki.
He stood up, the Eternal Spear seemingly weightless in his hand, and slowly descended from the throne, looking down at the divine realm below, which appeared even more vibrant after being nourished by the rain of light.
He could see the soldiers' more agile figures on the training ground, hear the more powerful hammering sounds coming from the craftsmen's area, and feel the more active elements permeating the air.
Everything has changed dramatically without us even realizing it.
But it's not enough.
Loki's smile deepened, a smile full of ambition and anticipation.
"This is just the beginning."
"A stronger Asgard, a stronger king, and the future we can create is far more than this."
He raised his head, his gaze seemingly piercing through the magnificent Asgardian sky, reaching the boundless sea of stars, and into the world of each member in the chat group.
"Throughout the myriad realms, Asgard's fame will be known to more people."
