Asgard.
It was already the next day when Thor woke up, but for the Asgardians, a hangover was like yawning in the morning; it could be fixed by just washing your face.
At this moment, he was playing around with his newly acquired Thunder and Fire.
A group of Asgardian warriors were cheering there.
There's no way around it, this thing is just damn cool.
A golden lightning-shaped weapon... It's hard to say what kind of weapon this thing belongs to. It can be used for chopping and is indestructible. Even the weapons of the Asgard warriors can be easily chopped off. At the same time, it is a bit like a javelin and can be thrown out.
According to the evaluation of the Asgard warriors, this thing is more useful than Mjolnir.
This is true. Although Mjolnir is powerful, it cannot compare to thunder and fire in terms of flexibility.
This thing is very flexible, a bit like the flying sword in fairy tales, it can be flexibly controlled and can do any tricks. It can also change the celestial phenomena.
With it, Thor can easily summon storms and thunder.
Not only that, as long as Thor holds it in his hand, he seems to have become another Zeus.
There is an unparalleled power.
Of course, for the entire Asgardians, Thor's robbing of Zeus's artifact is not something worth writing about... You know, the Asgardians also have two sides. On the one hand, they are heroic and brave, but on the other hand, their basic nature is actually pirates!
This can be best reflected from their believers.
Among the gods who left Earth, Asgard is the one with the deepest entanglement with Earth. Although they are away from Earth for an unknown number of light years, they still come to Earth from time to time, and the most famous one is the battle with the Frost Giants.
At that time, the Frost Giants found a space passage to the Earth and wanted to seize Midgard (that is, the Earth). So in order to protect the Earth, the Asgardians took the initiative to attack (don’t ask me where Kamar-Taj was at that time, they went to fight against the Demon. Marvel’s settings have always been very messy).
They fought a huge war with the Frost Giants in their hometown, which is in Northern Europe.
They protected the locals and left countless legends in their minds. There was even an Asgardian berserker who fell in love with a human woman and became a deserter and secretly stayed on Earth, while spreading some of Asgard's deeds.
At the same time, due to a slight deviation in the transmission, the Norse mythology on Earth today is very different from the real history of Asgard.
The biggest difference is that Loki, who was supposed to be adopted, actually became Odin's brother, which is outrageous.
But it was also due to the influence of the Asgardians that the Vikings in Northern Europe picked up many of their habits.
For example, they are not very opposed to looting, but instead think it is a normal thing.
In the Middle Ages, as the Western Roman region was divided up by European barbarians, these originally backward nations converted to Christianity in order to consolidate their rule. As a result, Christianity became the state religion of the whole of Europe, and the Pope had great influence on the secular world and could organize a group of crusaders to launch multiple wars in a matter of minutes.
However, there are exceptions. The Germanic people who dominated Europe originated in the northern Iberian Peninsula. Some of them gradually migrated to the border of Gaul (now France) and made a living by hunting and raising livestock. When Caesar first launched the Gallic Campaign, he was defeated by these Germanic people. In the end, the entire Western Roman Empire was divided up by various Germanic ethnic groups.
It was also at this time that the Vikings in the north began to rise.
The Vikings were not nomads. Most of the Vikings grew barley, rye and oats, and liked to drink beer, because the weather in the Scandinavian Peninsula was cold and the environment was extremely harsh. However, the environment in Northern Europe made the land barren and insufficient to sustain their lives. Their brothers, the Germanic people, migrated to Western Europe in the early years. The Vikings chose to develop a maritime civilization, fishing, shipbuilding, sailing, and plundering. The word Viking itself means traveling first and then plundering.
As the overlord of the sea, the ship is the symbol of the Vikings, who are proud of the fast single-masted ship "Dragon Ship". After entering the Middle Ages, the Vikings were divided into three groups. The Norwegian Vikings plundered the British Isles and the Mediterranean, the Danish Vikings plundered along the rivers of Western Europe, and the Swedish Vikings migrated to Russia to settle down. This is the origin of the Nordic Vikings. The Nordic Vikings left their cold and barren homeland and embarked on the road of sailing for survival. The ship is their home. Most of the Vikings' weapons are spears and axes, and they usually fight on foot. Shouting: We are the people of Odin, they began to plunder various European countries. The main targets are the livestock and things of the local people, as well as everything valuable. And the Vikings who believe in Odin think that Christians are "pagans". They will rob wealthy churches and laugh at God as a "false god" who actually wants gold and silver. The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records an attack on Britain in 789 AD, when they were mistaken for merchants by local officials and killed the officials who wanted to collect taxes from them. The second record was in 793 AD, when Vikings attacked the monastery on Lindisfarne Island, marking the beginning of the "Viking Age" when the Nordic Vikings dominated Europe. Over the next 200 years, the Vikings continued to invade coastal countries in Europe, including France, Britain, Scotland, Ireland, and so on. The people of medieval Europe regarded the Vikings as robbers and barbarians, and the notoriety of the Nordic Vikings was spread across Europe.
The Vikings were strong warriors. Their numbers were small, so they had to rely on careful planning and surprise raids. In battle, they were unusually fanatical and fearless, so people were terrified of pirates. The Vikings' homeland was Norway, Sweden and Denmark. However, because of their bravery and fighting skills, they and their descendants once controlled most of the Baltic coast, the interior of Russia, Normandy in France, Britain, Sicily, southern Italy and parts of Palestine. They discovered Iceland in 825 (Irish monks were already there) and settled there in 875. In 985, they colonized Greenland. There is strong evidence that they reached Newfoundland and explored parts of North America five hundred years before Columbus discovered the New World.
The social system of the Vikings consisted of three classes: the great lords, hereditary nobles; the free men, who were the main force of the army, and were therefore also known as the warrior class; and the slaves at the bottom. But this division was not absolute. If a free man lost all his land, he would become a slave. If a slave served his master loyally, he would be given the opportunity to redeem himself and become a free man. The nobles and free men met regularly to decide major events and resolve disputes. In the earliest times, the king was the greatest noble, and he made almost all major decisions, so that the tribal meeting was only responsible for some local affairs. But in Iceland, since there had never been a king, the tribal meeting decided everything, and the nobles and free men of the whole island had to participate. It was held regularly in a certain place every year for two weeks to complete a series of festivals, trade, consultations, and competitions. The Vikings unconditionally accepted all the decrees of the king and the meeting, and these decrees were known to everyone. Those who violated them would be expelled from the tribe. The exiles could not cultivate any land or accept help from anyone. They could only live in caves and live a life of hiding and stealing.
Most Vikings were farmers for most of the time, and pirates for only a small part of the time, alternating between plundering and farming. The pirates went out twice a year, after spring sowing or autumn harvest, during which time their wives would take their place and take care of everything at home. The Vikings were good sailors and shipwrights, and their ships were light, narrow, and shallow, and could sail in all the rivers of Europe. This was one of the reasons why their maritime trade was so popular. In contrast, in the same period, the ships of other countries could not go to the high seas and were also bulky in design.
When Thor was on Earth, he made a special effort to learn about these things and discovered that the Vikings' lives were really in line with their Asgard customs.
He even wondered if those Vikings were really descendants of the Asgardians.
The Vikings' attitude towards death was especially appreciated by the Asgardians. These pirates firmly believed that if a man died gloriously in battle, his soul would enter Valhalla, the palace of the gods in Asgard, in order to fight with the gods at the twilight of the gods. In the Hall of Heroes, they had to conduct actual combat exercises face to face every day, and at night they feasted and drank like uninjured people. The myth of the Hall of Heroes embodied the ideal life that the ancient Germanic barbarians yearned for - fighting during the day and drinking at night; fearlessly facing challenges. If you are born as a warrior and die in bed, you are only worthy of going to the underworld.
This is very much in line with Asgardian tastes.
Asgardians don't care much about death, but it would be great if they could still fight during the day and drink at night after death!
In short, because of the characteristics of the Asgardians, they don’t care at all that the king’s artifact was stolen. They may even be proud of it... Well done for stealing it!
Such a powerful artifact must belong to a more powerful master. If Thor can snatch such a powerful artifact from him, it means that Thor is more powerful! What's wrong with that?
As for morality... to be honest, the Asgardians' moral values are completely different from ours, so there's no need to worry about it.
What really shocked the Asgardians was that their king, Thor Odinson, was in love!
This time it’s not the short-lived species like the Earthlings, but the goddess of the Pantheon.
The Asgardians were divided into two groups. The women of Asgard hated this and couldn't understand why their prince didn't like the Asgardian girls and had to look for them outside.
In fact, the women of Asgard have long been full of resentment on this point.
Because starting with Odin, the royal family no longer married the daughters of Asgard's own people.
Odin's first wife... It doesn't make sense to say that. After all, she wasn't married to Odin at all. She was a powerful witch. Odin was attracted by her power and was determined to have a powerful child with her.
So he killed all the witch's tribesmen, took the witch back, and then gave birth to Hela... Odin did this not even out of lust, but simply out of utilitarianism, and he was attracted by someone else's excellent genes.
The witch lived up to everyone's expectations and gave birth to such a powerful offspring as Hela.
Then the witch disappeared. As for how she disappeared, only Odin knew. Anyway, Odin never mentioned the whereabouts of the witch again. No one dared to ask.
The women of Asgard could tolerate this a little... after all, the witch was just a breeding machine.
No one is jealous.
But later on, Frigga... made some Asgardians feel uncomfortable. You actually married a foreigner as your queen!
She's a Warner!
However, as time went by, Frigga's kindness and virtue made the Asgardians accept this queen.
Wait until the princes grow up.
Something strange happened again.
Thor actually fell in love with an Earthling!
Of course, what they didn't know was that the rebellious prince Loki was even more excessive and actually fell in love with them... Well, at this time Loki had been captured by the Time Variance Administration TVA... and there he met Loki from various timelines... and he fell in love with a female Loki.
In a sense, this is love giving birth to itself.
(Time Variance Administration, in the distant future, in order to monitor the reality of the entire multiverse and try to minimize time interference, the Time Variance Administration (TVA) was established. TVA is a huge bureaucratic agency dedicated to supervising, adjusting, and ultimately balancing a large number of timelines in the multiverse containing infinite variables. They discard abandoned timelines and try to prevent time paradoxes; they also monitor core individuals - their existence is necessary for the reality they are in. Agents will be copied and created as needed, and their offices will expand in all directions to correspond to the divergence of the new reality. Loki was considered a variable, so he was captured by the Time Variance Administration... Now Loki is destroying the entire TVA and moving towards the mastermind behind the time anomaly management!)
The girls in Asgard were very unhappy, but although it was unacceptable for Thor to fall in love with an Earthling, considering the pitiful lifespan of Earthlings, everyone could only endure it.
But the girl from the Pantheon... I can’t stand this!
What about Sif?
On the contrary, men are happy to see this happen. To them, killing the enemy and robbing their wives and daughters is definitely something worthy of praise!
This is to enhance our country's prestige! It's so awesome!!!
