"The eight-legged horse is named Sleipnir and is the steed of Odin, the great god. It's said that Odin rides this horse to patrol the nine worlds. The horse's origin is quite remarkable, or rather, bizarre. Loki, the mischievous god, is essentially Odin's foster brother. But this tricky god has giant blood and was never well-liked by the other gods. He once lost a bet and, as a result, transformed into a female horse and mated with a male horse, giving birth to Sleipnir."
At the United Nations summit, an expert shared this Norse mythological story with a peculiar expression. Many people who heard this story couldn't help but burst into laughter. A male god transforming into a mare and giving birth to offspring with a male horse was something that only existed in myths and legends.
“Loki held a grudge against the gods after that event which became the trigger to the countdown of Ragnarok.”
"However, according to Norse mythology, the entire nine worlds should have been destroyed by Surtu's flaming sword. In the legends, after Ragnarok, all the gods, both Aesir and Jotnar, were supposed to be annihilated. It's only after the twilight of the gods that a few surviving humans ushered in a new era."
“But now, it seems legends are just legends. The Norse Gods, especially Odin, seem to be alive and well. Surtur seems to have been defeated by the Gods and was sealed under the Antarctic.”Cheêck out latest novels at novel35.com
The experts discussed it heatedly. Witnessing this kind of mythological scene was an unprecedented event for humanity.
“Ragnarok might have indeed been a godly battle and the people of the Nordic Region might have been a witness to this battle, but because the gods no longer appeared afterward, they might have formed their own conclusions.”
An expert in Norse mythology said while beginning to write down possible corrections to the myth. He had already decided to write a book to inform the general public about the truth behind Norse mythology.
“When the exploration team went down to the Antarctic undergrounds, they discovered a city that might have been Atlantis. Among what they saw were buildings and texts that belonged to the Greeks. In the past, we had been looking at the mythologies as separate texts, but from what I can tell, there is definitely a relationship between them, and that they should be analyzed together. What if, during the battle of Ragnarok, the losing Aesir Gods had sought help from the Olympus Gods as they retreated?”
“From the current information, this guess is highly likely. If not, Surtur wouldn’t have been sealed in a palace with Greek architecture. Oh, truly amazing! Zeus and Athena fighting against Ymir and the giants would probably be something only written in fiction if such a scene did not appear before us!”
“Look, Odin the Allfather has descended upon Antarctica!”
From the satellites taken from space, a rainbow bridge had reached the place where Surtur was at.
“Record everything!”
The world people of the world were on the edge of their seats, eagerly awaiting further developments.
The Russian President explained, "The entire world has seen Odin's arrival from Valhalla to Earth, but no one knows his purpose. The unknown is humanity's greatest fear. At this moment, people all over the world might be spreading rumors and speculating. In such a situation, any agitation could lead to negative consequences."
"So, we might as well broadcast the events in Antarctica directly to the world. As long as we maintain security, this will give people peace of mind."
This proposal was reasonable, but someone asked, “What if the Allfather lost? Wouldn’t the people panic?”
"Sigh, if Odin is defeated, then Surtur's flames will engulf the Antarctic continent and human civilization will be wiped out. Who cares about human infighting and chaos? On the other hand, if the god Odin wins, it will give humanity even greater motivation to believe that we are protected by gods."
"In addition, the majority of humans now believe in divine beings. Even if they know they will die, they won't do anything terrifying out of despair."
These words left everyone speechless.
This was especially true. Since the appearance of divine beings and the confirmation of the existence of heaven, humanity's collective moral compass has been on the rise. On Earth, unlike the world of San Soliel where both benevolent and malevolent gods coexisted, the majority of the powerful divine entities were benevolent. People's faith in these benevolent gods has contributed to a more harmonious and orderly societal environment. The fragmentation and conflicts often seen in worlds where belief in both good and evil gods exists are not as prevalent on Earth.
However, on Earth, most of the divine beings that have appeared are portrayed as powerful and benevolent, causing humanity to adopt an overall moral outlook that leans toward goodness.
While the presence of gods has made some malevolent individuals more formidable, society and its legal systems have mechanisms in place to deal with them. As a result, the occurrence of heinous crimes has become increasingly rare.
Present-day Earth has indeed seen an increase in violent incidents compared to the past, but overall, crime rates are rapidly decreasing.
Other than those who were inherently evil, nobody was willing to go to hell.
“A Sun!!! Another sun has appeared in the Antarctic!”
