Chapter 719: The Upcoming Great War
Odin's Vault, to put it directly, is actually Odin's Trophy Room, storing all sorts of dangerous items that Odin seized from his defeated foes.
The items contained within Odin's Vault are not fixed. In Comics, Movies, Animation, and other works, the items stored in Odin's Vault are not all the same.
Take the Casket of Ancient Winters, for example. This item is recorded as being stored in Odin's Vault in the Movie, but in Comics and Animation, the location where the Casket of Ancient Winters is stored varies.
There's no helping it, Marvel Comics is just too big. It's difficult for these Authors to reach a consensus when creating, not only regarding the storage location of a certain Thing, but even situations where a Character is clearly dead, yet inexplicably Revives.
Therefore, even Yang Le isn't very clear about what's in Odin's Vault. Maybe there are even Infinity Stones inside, who knows.
But thinking so much is useless. Anyway, we'll know once the Treasury opens. However, since Odin can bring Yang Le here, it represents that he indeed views Yang Le as one of his own.
Not to mention ordinary Humans, even Odin's own children are not qualified to come here casually. To enter Odin's Vault, one must obtain Odin's approval. No one else has this Power, not even Queen Frigga.
"This Gate and the Treasury itself were both crafted by the Dwarf King personally leading the top craftsman from Nidavellir. They incorporated many Precious Metals, including Uru Metal, and even used a Branch of the World Tree."
Odin placed his Hand on the Gate, like caressing a piece of art, stroking it while explaining.
"A Branch of the World Tree?" Yang Le was a bit surprised. The World Tree, which carries the Nine Realms, is not ordinary Goods. In Comics, the World Tree has had many wonderful performances, such as the Hammer Handle of Mjolnir being made from a Branch of the World Tree.
Don't underestimate this Branch. Its sturdiness might even exceed the Hammerhead of Mjolnir.
"It seems you know its greatness." Odin nodded. "Any single Thing stored in my Treasury could bring Danger to the Nine Realms, so we must treat them carefully."
"To break through this Treasury head-on, even I would have to expend a lot of Strength. The only Method to easily open it is through my Divine Word. Open Door."
As soon as Odin's Words fell, the exquisite patterns on the Gate began to move, pulsating as if they had come alive. The Circle Lock at the Center of the Gate began to rotate, and with a series of clicking sounds, the Gate slowly opened.
Unlike the exquisite Gate on the outside, the interior of Odin's Vault is very simple. A long Corridor, wide enough for two or three people to walk side-by-side, with a Pillar erected on either side of the Corridor at regular intervals.
In the Center between every two Pillars, there is a stone platform. Placed on top of the stone platform are all sorts of wondrous Things.
Yang Le roughly glanced over, and at first sight, he saw a stone basin. What was contained in the stone basin was not some tangible Substance, but a raging Flame that was constantly burning.
Yang Le recognized what it was at first glance. This was no ordinary Flame for lighting. It should be the Eternal Flame that Odin seized from Muspelheim.
The Eternal Flame is one of Surtur's Power sources. With it, Surtur and without it are practically two different people. Odin specifically stole it from Muspelheim in order to weaken Surtur's Power.
It was precisely because he lacked the Eternal Flame that Surtur was defeated in the Duel with Odin. Otherwise, the Power of the two should be roughly equal.
Next, Yang Le also saw some familiar Things, like the Casket of Ancient Winters. Here, it was closer to its appearance in Comics, an exquisite box that was entirely red with gold trim, with a skull as a Lock right in the Center.
Next, there were also some Treasures that were briefly mentioned, or Things that Yang Le didn't recognize. In short, the Things contained in Odin's Vault were indeed numerous, exceeding Yang Le's expectations.
Odin led Yang Le deeper in, until they reached an empty stone platform before stopping. Needless to say, Yang Le understood Odin's meaning and placed Mjolnir on it first.
After placing Mjolnir, Yang Le took two steps back, moving out of the range of the two Pillars. Just as he stepped back, a blue Light Screen suddenly appeared, but quickly disappeared again.
"Second layer of Protection," Odin explained. "A simple yet reliable Shield that can both protect these Things and serve as an Alarm. When someone triggers the Shield, the Alarm Sound can be heard throughout Asgard."
"We should go, Child." Odin said, taking the lead to walk outside. It seemed he not only didn't treat Yang Le as an Outsider, but also had great trust in his Character, not once obstructing Yang Le's Line of Sight along the way.
Of course, Yang Le himself had no interest in these Things. The Little Broken Watch is just too comprehensive, and coupled with the bionic Instant Messaging he created himself, it's now difficult for these External Force to move him.
In a place Yang Le couldn't see, Odin was actually observing him. After discovering that Yang Le only glanced twice and didn't look at anything else in the Treasury, Odin nodded almost imperceptibly, becoming even more satisfied with Yang Le.
After the two of them walked out of the Treasury, Odin spoke again.
"Child, I have a request to make."
"Hmm? What is it?"
Yang Le looked at Odin with doubt. He felt that the God King in front of him was being too polite, even giving him a feeling of discomfort.
"I Hope you can Help Thor cope with the upcoming Crisis." Odin turned around and gazed at Yang Le with his only Single Eye. "I am very dissatisfied with the Prophecy that is about to happen. Just wanting to take my son's Life with a single sentence? Don't even think about it."
"Even if the Child in the Prophecy is not Thor, it's still unacceptable. Asgardians can die on the glorious Battlefield, but absolutely cannot die because of a boring Prophecy."
"I started making Efforts for this Prophecy thousands of years ago. Currently, Asgard, Nidavellir, and Vanaheim are all prepared, but the water in this matter is deeper than I thought. Even the Dark Elves have gotten involved."
"Malekith is a cunning person. He won't fight unprepared battles. It's impossible for him alone to challenge the alliance formed by the Three Realms. In order to undo the Seal of the Big Snake, he will definitely unite with others."
"I don't know how many people he has united. Jotunheim? Muspelheim? Or perhaps Helheim. Asgardians are not afraid of Challenges, but this time the flames of war may very well spread to Midgard."
"I Hope you can unite the capable and strange individuals of Midgard and form a Team." Odin's Gaze was burning. "Once the war starts this time, it will be difficult for us to take care of Midgard anymore. I Hope you can protect yourselves as much as possible."
