Chapter 674 The God of Fire and the Treasure Vault

The Fire Giants were already greatly weakened by the loss of the Eternal Flame, and without a leader to organize them, they were nothing more than a rabble, no matter how many there were.

They were quickly routed by the Asgardian warriors led by Thor.

"Who else dares to disagree?!"

Thor, having activated his Musou mode, used his Meowth Hammer to summon lightning, clearing a large area of ​​the battlefield.

Their overwhelming presence immediately intimidated the Flame Clan.

Meanwhile, the Asgardian warriors, growing stronger with each battle, erupted in a tremendous cheer.

The three warriors of Asgard raised their weapons and roared wildly to the sky.

Clearly, Thor, the heir to the Asgardian throne, has once again won the admiration of the Asgardian warriors with his perfect performance.

Thor had not forgotten that his purpose in coming here was to subdue the Fire Clan.

If possible, they could also be recruited to aid the divine realm in its fight against Ragnarok.

In general, the purpose this time was not purely for killing.

Therefore, Thor's previous actions were relatively measured. Although the fire race who faced him seemed to be in a miserable state, in reality, more were injured than killed.

The Flame Clan also gradually realized that their opponent's strength was beyond their ability to resist.

Some "smart people" are even considering the possibility of "surrendering".

Just as Thor was gradually gaining control of the situation, a chilling sense of oppression swept in from afar.

Then, amidst flames and flashes, a true fire giant, over a hundred meters tall and covered in flowing lava, appeared on the distant horizon.

Every step he took was accompanied by a tremendous vibration.

"I...my king has returned!!!"

"Long live the King!!"

"Great Surtur, please help your people defeat the Asgardian bastards..."

"..."

Upon recognizing their leader, the Flame Clan members' ashen expressions were immediately replaced by fervor.

Many people trembled and prostrated themselves on the ground, praying loudly to their leader to help them get rid of the powerful enemy.

Looking at the Asgardian warriors, their expressions turned extremely solemn as they watched the Flame Lord approach.

Surtur, a fire god older than Odin, was not much weaker than Odin, the king of the gods, in his prime.

With such a powerful enemy appearing on the battlefield, the warriors of Asgard could not help but be afraid.

The fact that they didn't drop their weapons and run away already shows how much perseverance they had.

Meanwhile, Surtur took a few steps forward and then swung his divine weapon, the Twilight Sword, unleashing a flaming blade that spanned over a thousand meters.

Their target was Thor, the God of Thunder, in the crowd.

To avoid harming his comrades, Thor raised Mjolnir and flew into the sky, lunging at the flaming blade.

Amidst sparks flying, Thor, wielding Mjolnir, finally smashed the fiery attack that came from afar.

However, injured by the power of the flames, he staggered and fell to the ground.

In order not to affect the morale of the troops, he still stood up straight despite being wounded.

The situation appeared to be somewhat evenly matched.

"Well done, Thor!! That so-called god of fire deserves to be shown the might of the Asgardian gods!"

"Long live Thor!!!"

"..."

The warriors of Asgard cheered for Thor after seeing his outstanding performance.

Amidst the cheers, the fighting spirit of the Asgardian warriors was once again rallied.

"Odin's little brat, you're stronger than I thought. I just wonder how many more attacks you can withstand from me next~"

The fire giant stepped onto the battlefield, his lantern-sized, fiery eyes looking down at Thor with oppressive force.

Raise the Twilight Sword once more...

Immediately, countless flaming blades shot out from his hand, like a giant net of fire, attacking Thor's direction.

"Oops!!!"

Seeing the sky filled with flaming sword blades, the Asgardian warriors' morale, which had just begun to solidify, was shattered once again.

Amid cries of alarm, many soldiers instinctively raised their shields, hoping to escape unscathed.

Even if doing so is not very useful.

Yes, while most of the fire giant's attack was aimed at Thor, a significant portion was also directed at the Asgardian warriors.

Clearly, Surtur's actions were not only aimed at defeating Thor, but also at annihilating the invading Asgardian warriors in one fell swoop.

"Long live Asgard!!!"

At the front of the crowd, Thor, seeing an even greater number of flaming blades, still charged forward without hesitation, wielding Mjolnir.

Everything was for the glory of the Asgardian gods.

Looking at his brother Loki, who had been standing beside him, he was now sneaking towards the edge of the battlefield.

He looked so cautious, as if he was afraid that Surte would discover him.

In the crowd, Sif stood with a look of grim determination, holding her sword and blocking Mike's path.

Although she didn't say anything, Mike could already sense the girl's feelings from her actions.

[Undead (Trait)]...[Flame Power. God (Trait)]...[Transcendent Physique. God (Trait)]...

[Twilight Blade. Energy +1E]...

Mike, having obtained a large number of elemental orbs from the Flame Lord, condensed a massive amount of magical power to form a shield that spread upwards.

High in the sky, Thor, who had just been forced back by countless flaming blades, saw...

The fiery power was blocked by a lotus-shaped, pure white shield.

Countless flaming blades struck the magic shield, exploding into a shower of sparks before being annihilated one after another.

Looking at the magic shield again, although some ripples appeared, it remained sturdy.

"Who are you?"

The fire giant, whose fire attacks had been completely blocked, finally turned its attention to Mike in the crowd.

“You’re still a bit short of playing with fire in front of me. Besides, you’re just a projection of your own avatar right now…” Mike stepped forward and, amidst the admiring gazes of the Asgardian warriors, went to the fire giant.

Although the previous situation seemed to be going on for a long time, it actually happened in just a few breaths.

The powerful magical force that Mike unleashed was naturally seen by all the Asgardian warriors.

Having escaped death, this was the moment when they were most grateful to Mike.

"Get down here!"

When Mike reached the fire giant, he seemed to find it too tiring to talk with his head tilted back, so he stretched out his right hand again and dispelled most of the fire power on the fire giant's body.

As the flames gradually disappeared, the giant firework's body shrank little by little, eventually becoming a tiny firework figure just over a meter tall.

"I am Surtur, Lord of Flames." Even without divine power, the fire-man avatar remained arrogant, staring at Mike and asking, "Say your name, and you will be worthy of my remembrance."

Surtur probably never expected that a powerful figure like Mike would emerge from the Asgardian camp.

This thwarted his plans.

Although the plan failed, Surtur still showed due respect to the strong.

“I am Mike, and you are welcome to seek revenge anytime,” Mike said. “However, next time, I hope to see your true form.”

Yes, as an ancient god, Surtur's true form was sealed away by Odin deep beneath Muspelheim.

The fiery figure before him was merely a clone he had created using divine power.

His plan this time was to let his people rebel against Asgard, so that he could use his fire clones to wipe out the Asgardian warriors who came to quell the rebellion.

As a way of avenging his imprisonment, he first sought some interest from Odin.

Unfortunately, he encountered Mike, which was a variable.

“You are worthy to be my opponent. I will avenge this humiliation when we meet again,” the fire-man replied earnestly.

Surtur's true form possesses three divine artifacts: the Twilight Sword, the Eternal Flame, and the Crown of Flame.

Among them, the Twilight Blade and the Eternal Flame can provide him with powerful combat abilities, which is why he was able to fight Odin to a standstill back then.

It was only after Odin took away the Eternal Flame and the Crown of Fire that his strength was weakened, leading to his defeat.

Subsequently, after being sealed away underground for thousands of years, his hatred for Odin grew stronger and stronger.

Thousands of years of solitude have made his heart feel incredibly lonely and empty.

In this situation, encountering such an interesting opponent as Mike naturally filled his dormant heart with "surprise".

"Now, this place is yours to handle." Having obtained the attribute light orb, Mike had already lost interest in the fire clone in front of him.

Then, they handed over this fire clone, weakened countless times, to the Thor brothers to deal with.

“Surtur, you should understand that I have not come to Muspelheim for war…” Thor stepped forward and said, “Asgard needs peace, and your people need peace as well.”

“Why bother talking to him so much? He’s already our prisoner anyway. If he doesn’t agree to the peace treaty with Asgard, we’ll wipe out the Fire Clan of Muspelheim…” Thor had just adopted a negotiating stance when Loki, standing behind him, forcefully announced his proposal.

Loki, known as the god of trickery, is very adept at manipulating situations.

After discovering that Mike could block the fire giant's attack, he secretly ran back to Thor's side.

At this moment, with the advantage in his favor, he revealed his "evil" side.

However, when you have the upper hand, there's nothing wrong with behaving badly.

At least you won't suffer a loss.

After listening to Loki's rambling for a while, Mike lost interest and retreated back to the Asgardian warriors.

"Miss Sif, thank you for protecting me before. It made me feel very safe." Mike said with a smile after approaching the female warrior.

"I...I didn't expect you to be so strong..." Sif, her face flushed with embarrassment after being teased, said, "We should be the ones thanking you. Thank you for saving everyone."

She was like a female warrior when she was fighting before, but now she's shy like a little girl.

I must say, this contrast is actually quite cute.

Compared to the Thor brothers, Mike was clearly more willing to come over and tease the amusing Asgardian goddess.

Before the two could exchange more words, the Asgardian warriors nearby came up to Mike one after another to express their gratitude.

At the same time, Mike also found that he had a lot of faith power flowing into his account.

Without a doubt, it was all contributed by the Asgardian warriors around them.

On the other side, the Fire Clan, who had witnessed Mike suppressing the Fire Giant with a wave of his hand, were now continuously contributing fear points to Mike.

Moreover, because their overall strength far surpasses that of ordinary people, these Asgardian warriors and fire races contribute far more faith and fear points to Mike each time.

Just as Mike was enjoying the adoring gazes of Sif and the Asgardian warriors, the negotiations between the Thor brothers and Surtur's clone finally came to a conclusion.

Since Surtur cannot appear in his true form, his only option to prevent the Flame Clan from being wiped out is to "compromise".

Therefore, the Thor brothers obtained the peace treaty they wanted without much effort.

"Mike, thank you this time." Thor, in a good mood after the successful negotiation, came to Mike's side and said, "We'll keep our promise when we get back."

With this, the objectives of this expedition to Muspelheim have been fully achieved.

After Thor raised Mjolnir and called out Heimdall's true name, the Asgardian warriors and Thor were once again teleported back to Asgard via the Bifrost.

Here, the people of Asgard, who had learned the details of the expedition from Heimdall, who possessed extraordinary vision, gathered in the square to hold a grand triumphant ceremony for the returning warriors.

Thor and Mike received the warmest welcome, followed by the Warriors Three and Sif, among others.

It also received praise.

After the welcoming ceremony, a grand banquet followed.

The lively scene of people celebrating together lasted for a day and a night and did not completely fade away.

As a key contributor to the victory in this war, Mike not only enjoyed meticulous care but also gained a considerable amount of faith points.

……

“These are the spoils of war collected by my father Odin over many years of conquest. As agreed, you may choose one of them as your reward.” After the celebration, Thor kept his promise and led Mike to Odin’s vault.

Frostbox, Eternal Flame, Crown of Flames, Destroyer Armor, Eternal Spear, Eight-Legged Steed, Infinity Gauntlet (replica), Eye of the Warlock, Monument of Life, etc.

Countless divine artifacts were arranged in the treasure vault.

This shows that Thor was indeed a very honest person.

The artifacts here are all as precious as the Infinity Stones.

Each one may carry less energy than an Infinity Stone, but there could be a lot of them.

Here, Mike once again gained hundreds of millions of energy points.

At the same time, they also obtained many precious special light clusters.

For example: the Frostbox's [Extreme Cold Power], the Eternal Flame's [Flame Power], [Resurrection and Regeneration], [Energy Control], and the Destroyer Armor's [Energy Attack], [Physical Immunity], [Mind Control], etc.

After admiring the artifacts one by one, Mike finally chose the Destroyer Armor, which combines offense and defense. It can be controlled by his mind to become an "external avatar" or transformed into armor to wear.

“Uh, this Destroyer Armor is badly damaged. Why don’t you choose another one?” Thor was initially a little heartbroken about the artifact, but after seeing Mike choose the Destroyer Armor, he felt a bit guilty and said, “If you really like this armor, I can send it to Nidavellir to have the dwarven craftsmen reforge it and then give it to you.”

"You may have to wait a little longer."

The Destroyer Armor's attributes are among the best of all the legendary artifacts.

It's a pity that Odin used this armor to "test" Thor in order to build his son's confidence.

It has been smashed into several pieces.

Its own inherent abilities were also completely destroyed.

It became a piece of junk.

The reason it remains in the vault is simply as a memento.
