Marvel: Apocalyptic Beginning, a High-Level Game!

Chapter 170 The Shadow Gods, the Truth About the World Tree!

"Thor! The orphan of Asgard, the survivor of Ragnarok. Son of Odin. Grandson of Bohr."

Thor remained alert, staring intently at the towering figures before him, even gripping his axe tightly.

The lightning that shone from his entire body instantly shattered the familiar prisons around him, which were suppressed by some kind of decaying divine power.

"Answer my question, who are you?"

Thor roared angrily, and the divine power emanating from the shadow on his body was gradually pressing down on the opponent.

He no longer needed to kneel before anyone, unless they were someone he respected, not this bastard hiding in the gutter, slowly peeking out.

The shadows, who had been maintaining their composure, finally withdrew their tedious tugging when they saw Thor so excited and displaying a power that surprised them.

"Thor should show us respect; we are gods far older than your father. We are only appearing here today to inform you that Earth is once again facing great calamity."

As Thor tilted his head, several question marks seemed to appear above his head: No?

Is the Earth facing imminent disaster?

What is there about Earth that is worth anyone's attention right now?

The Infinity Stones exploded a long time ago!

Is it that Tiam in the Earth's core?

Shouldn't it be the Celestials who come over?

And you should know that the eternal universe is right here on Earth, so who would dare to venture here?

If they cause anything with Eternity, the whole world will collapse!

Thor is 100% skeptical of this answer.

Do you think he's stupid?

He's incredibly clever!

He thought so himself.

The Shadow Gods were about to speak when they suddenly sensed something unusual beginning to seep into the world. In shock, they immediately turned their sharp gazes toward Thor's side, where a strange mechanical doll had appeared.

When Thor noticed the anomaly and turned his head, he saw the familiar Lycurgus.

"Friend, what are you doing here?"

Lucurgos nodded slightly, then took a step back and bowed deeply to his chest, as a sign of respect for the person before him. Even Thor felt that such a gesture was unnecessary between them.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Saul, for doing this without your permission, but I need you to understand that everything you're about to have is rightfully yours."

???

Thor was even more confused.

I feel like they're all speaking in riddles; I can't understand a single one of them.

At that moment, the Shadow Gods seemed to know something. Even though they were extremely confident in their ability to conceal their existence, they were still shocked by what Lycurgos said.

"Gods from unknown realms, you have no idea how great everything we've done is!"

"Yes, everything we've done and the sacrifices we've made are deserved."

"Please be quiet. They come from across time, or perhaps they are the so-called second-generation gods."

Everything you've done is nothing more than destroying brilliant myths for your own selfish desires.

I can't imagine how much you actually profited from the massacre that began in the City of Omnipotence.

If I'm not mistaken, you've already profited, twice in a row.

Lycurgus proclaimed in a loud voice the judgment of this god from ancient Greek mythology.

At this moment, it's as if a passionate lawyer is denouncing the defendant and asserting their justice.

But as that sinister gaze and the divine power it carried pressed down, Thor immediately stood in front of him, shielding him from all the pressure while raising his axe high.

"What exactly are you hiding?"

Seeing the enraged Thor, the Shadow Gods fell silent instantly.

Well, originally they planned to use Thor's body to carry their power, so that the power could be released to the maximum extent, and they wouldn't have to personally charge into battle. What a wonderful thing that would be! They just needed to soften and integrate everything and hand it over to them.

But now.

It was impossible to determine exactly how much Lugurgos knew, but at least they felt immense pressure from his confident, silent gaze.

"Would you like me to tell the story, or would you like to tell the story?"

I can only guarantee that if I were to tell this story, it might have a slight impact on you.

"The effects have already been felt! You bastard."

"Everything we did was for the safety of the World Tree, and we have nothing to hide."

"..."

The Shadow Gods seemed startled and began to hurl insults wildly, even becoming somewhat incoherent.

In Thor's eyes, these guys in front of him were completely different from the arrogant people they had met at the beginning.

Looking at this disgusting group of people, he couldn't help but recall the words that the Godslayer Gore had said to him before his death, as well as the principles he held firmly in his heart.

There was a time when he hoped that other gods could shoulder the responsibilities that gods should bear, just like him, but unfortunately there were too few.

There was no chance left, and the only opportunity before them seemed utterly disgusting.

"Then you should speak out completely, shouldn't you?"

Lukurgos remained polite and amiable, even bowing to them, but such respect was undoubtedly a further blow to them.

"Thor, you should understand that the World Tree has existed for far longer than any god could ever have, and in this endless expanse of time, we too came into being."

Unlike you gods who roam the universe in righteous light, we were born into the root system of the World Tree, guarding it closely to prevent any possible threat to its essence. For this reason, we have been constantly accumulating power.

When each deity reaches their destined end, we draw upon the remaining power within to strengthen the trunk of the World Tree.

And when the World Tree faces an even more devastating danger, we will step forward and choose a powerful enough deity to uphold this power and fight it to the death.

And now, Thor, I hope you understand that as the darkness that walks through the universe gradually extends its giant hand to Earth, they have more or less discovered the mysteries of the World Tree.

Now, we are choosing a warrior strong enough to bear our weight as our final bargaining chip, and you will become the true hero who saves the nine worlds.

After reading this splendid speech filled with all sorts of praise and flattery, the Shadow Gods did not receive the promise and approval that Thor deserved. Instead, they raised their heads with a look of insecurity and turned to look at Lycurgus behind them.

He seemed to be consulting this learned sage about something.

"What they say is largely the same. But Thor, you have to understand, they're on our side now. The darkness that's gradually shrouding the earth is indeed growing wildly in every corner."

The gods of shadow breathed a sigh of relief.

They couldn't determine what kind of power this mechanical entity possessed, but they sensed claws infiltrating from somewhere unknown.
