Chapter 1944: The Empty Shell of Asgard
Although Blaze really wanted to find the ancient dragon named Lisa right now to understand Marika's special condition, there were more important things at the moment.

Blaze came to the dwarves who produced leather armor. These were the last dwarves who were resisting in the dwarf kingdom.

They really didn't do anything until he showed up with the True Sun Chariot Armor. This could be considered foolish or straightforward, depending on the outcome.

Anyway, for Blaze, he returned unscathed, and he occupied the dwarf kingdom at the lowest cost. Except for the dwarves who resisted stubbornly, the other dwarves were basically unscathed. This was a great victory, so these dwarves were honest.

Of course, it would be foolish to say that it was these dwarves who were causing trouble and causing casualties.

"So what are you going to do?" Blaze twisted his wrist. "If you plan to continue fighting me, then I will respect your choice and give you the chance to fight for the Dwarf Kingdom until the last moment."

To be honest, the battle with Balder's destined death was more like a warm-up than a battle. All the moves learned before were reviewed, and muscles that were not usually used were also strengthened.

Now his whole body was in a strange sour and refreshing feeling, and his body became lighter and more agile.

After all, super mobile sandbags like Balder that are indestructible and can repair themselves infinitely are rare.

If any of the dwarves choose to continue fighting, he will meet the other party's demands and have a good fight. Of course, it is best to choose not to fight.

Unfortunately, the remaining dwarves chose to continue fighting. They picked up weapons on the ground and attacked Blaze fearlessly.

Blaze sighed helplessly and showed no mercy. Amaterasu appeared behind him, and the sun's light enveloped the dwarf warriors. They stopped fighting for the Dwarf Kingdom forever.

As he had previously announced, all dwarves involved in this incident were petrified.

After defeating the remaining warriors of the Dwarf Kingdom, things will be much easier to handle.

The ordinary dwarves did not resist and obediently registered with the god Grem sent by Jasmine. They officially became members of the Kingdom of Asgard, enjoyed all the rights that normal Asgardians should have, and were given the right to receive forging training.

This promise brought light to the eyes of most of the dwarves.

Ordinary dwarves just don't have the talent for forging, but that doesn't mean they don't love forging. As a natural forging race, dwarves take pleasure in giving metal life and soul, just like birds flying in the sky and fish swimming in the water.

Even if they can't forge any top-level artifacts, just ordinary weapons will make them happy.

But after being cursed by Balder, the dwarves entered a doomsday state for the dwarves.

In the apocalypse, only dwarves with great forging talent are qualified to use ore for forging. Ordinary dwarves can only work as miners to dig ore, and private forging is prohibited.

In the face of resource scarcity, the Dwarf Kingdom does not allow resources to be wasted on low-level equipment.

In a sense, the Dwarven Kingdom's system did the same thing as Baldr's. Baldr cut off the dwarves' heads, while the Dwarven Kingdom cut off their legs. Blaze didn't care whether the talentless dwarves wasted materials when they forged blacksmiths. After all, it was a product of dwarven craftsmanship. If they couldn't make weapons, they could make farm tools. If farm tools weren't good enough, they could make iron fences. If that didn't work, they could hammer them into marbles or bullets. They would always be useful.

After about 10,000 dwarves became citizens of Asgard, it also triggered Jasmine's warning that Asgard might not have enough food.

Dwarves need to eat, and because their bodies are as muscular as those of the Giants, or even more muscular, they eat even more.

Ordinary dwarves now look malnourished because there is not much edible food underground, and they are isolated and do not trade with the outside world, so food is always insufficient.

However, the Dwarf Kingdom will not stop providing food and will even force ordinary dwarves to engage in physically demanding mining activities. But conversely, don't expect to get any good food in this situation, as those things will definitely not be available in the future anyway. Therefore, the food for more than 10,000 ordinary dwarves will become Asgard's most pressing issue.

Only then did Blaze realize that although Asgard looked magnificent, it was actually just an empty shell.

The economy was supported by [Hermes's Travel Hat] reluctantly for his sake, and the people there were a group of high-altitude atomic civilians who had been isolated from the world for countless years and heroic warriors who could do nothing but loot and smash things.

It has such a vast land, but without even a few roads, and its level of development is probably not as good as that of the Dwarf Kingdom.

So far, all of Asgard's food comes from the resurrected divine pigs in Valhalla and the [Hermes's Traveling Hat], and none of it is produced from its own territory.

Blaze suddenly realized that he might have to seriously participate in the Olympus Games.

He hadn't thought too much about it before, and was casual about whether to participate or not. This Olympus Games, which replaced war with competition, was for the development of those villages and towns, and had nothing to do with Asgard.

But now it seems that Asgard also needs poverty alleviation.

A sense of urgency arose spontaneously. If he remembered correctly, in order to prevent large kingdoms from monopolizing the Olympus Games, registration for the Games could only be based on towns, villages, and cities. The more gathering places within the kingdom, the more benefits could be gained from the Olympus Games, so each kingdom was busy expanding its village units.

Asgard... only has one royal city. Even if you count the Dwarf Kingdom and the eight lords, there are only ten participating units. As for the other kingdoms, the three major kingdoms have at least hundreds of them. Because of the complex structure of the territory of the third kingdom, there can be about a thousand of them if they are dismantled.

In comparison, Asgard is bare, no different from a commander without troops, but the population cannot explode all at once, and he cannot specially separate more than 10,000 ordinary dwarves and arrange them in Asgard for this matter.

Blaze covered it and sighed softly.

Either he accepts his fate and gives up on relying on the Olympus Games to develop Asgard, or the ten participating units in Asgard participate in all the competitions, pass the preliminaries, and at least enter the top 32.

Only in this way can we obtain as much human and material resources as possible from the Olympus Games to develop the territory of Asgard.
