Chapter 1130: Response

*Hu~*

Just as Heimdall had fallen unconscious on the ground for less than three seconds, a majestic figure had already appeared within the Bifrost Guardian Sanctum. This impressive figure was none other than Odin, the ruler of Asgard, who had been absent from the scene for quite some time.

Ever since Thor’s exile to Earth and his encounter with the Ancient One, Odin had secluded himself deep within the palace. No one knew what had befallen the powerful king capable of single-handedly intimidating the entire Nine Realms.

He hadn’t even appeared when the Dark Elves infiltrated the Asgardian palace. Rumors circulated outside that this king was growing old, perhaps nearing his end, though no one dared to assure anything.

“Heimdall!…” Odin’s voice echoed as he appeared in the Sanctum guarding the Bifrost. He hastened over to Heimdall, who lay sprawled on the ground and bent down to examine his condition.

Upon seeing Heimdall’s tightly shut eyes, with two trails of blood and tears flowing from them, Odin’s expression grew particularly grave. As the guardian of the Bifrost and Asgard, Heimdall’s eyes were nearly omnipotent in surveying every corner of the universe. Now, however, they were visibly injured, indicating the gravity of the situation.

*Hum~*

Having confirmed that Heimdall wasn’t physically harmed, Odin extended his right hand over Heimdall’s closed eyes. Then, streams of golden light emanated from Odin’s palm, slowly extending downward into Heimdall’s eyes. Soon, Heimdall’s eyes were engulfed in successive waves of golden radiance.

*Hu~*

Just as Odin was taking action to aid in healing Heimdall, another figure materialized in the Sanctum out of thin air. It was Frigga, the Wueen of Asgard. Compared to Odin, Frigga had arrived just two seconds later.

“How is he? Heimdall…” Observing Odin taking action to heal Heimdall, Frigga inquired in a hushed, worried tone.

“The Eye of the Soul has been struck by a formidable force of dark-soul energy. As a result, Heimdall’s soul has suffered severe damage, and the situation is dire!” Upon hearing his wife’s question, Odin’s hand continued its swift movements without pause as he provided an explanation.

Upon hearing Odin’s response, Frigga’s expression also changed. Although Frigga was already the mightiest Sorcerer in Asgard, her soul power was exceptionally potent. However, Heimdall, as the guardian of Asgard’s gates and the eye of the Nine Realms, possessed an even stronger soul force than Frigga.

The fact that he had been injured to this extent while having the Eye of the Soul indicated the formidable nature of the entity they were dealing with.

“Do you need my help? The highest level of life magic can also have a Recovery effect on the soul. I can assist him with that.” Approaching Odin and Heimdall’s side, Frigga looked at the motionless Heimdall on the ground and asked with concern.

“I’ll first stabilize his wounded soul. After that, you can take action. Otherwise, he won’t be able to recover.”

“Very well!”

*Humming, humming~*

And so, Odin continued to channel the flow of golden light from his hand, while Heimdall’s eyes remained bathed in this radiant glow. After about a dozen minutes, Odin finally withdrew his right hand, which had been positioned before Heimdall’s eyes.

The golden light gradually faded from Heimdall’s eyes after Odin’s hand retracted, and the blood streaks on Heimdall’s face vanished.

“You can take action now. I’ve stabilized his wounded soul. He can now receive the treatment of life magic.” As Odin withdrew his hand and stood upright, he turned to Frigga beside him, conveying the news.

*Hu!*

*Listening to Odin’s words, Frigga didn’t say much. With a wave of her hands, powerful waves of magical energy emanated from her. In the next moment, a vibrant green magical glow appeared between Frigga’s palms and then enveloped Heimdall on the ground.*

“This should do. His soul will gradually recover.” Exhaling deeply after completing the spell, Frigga continued, “Now, you should tell me what happened to Heimdall. Who could have harmed him like this?”

Upon hearing Frigga’s inquiry, Odin furrowed his brow. The message Heimdall had transmitted to him in his final moments of consciousness had been concise – there was something terrifyingly powerful heading towards the Nine Realms.

However, the specifics of this entity had likely gone unmentioned due to Heimdall’s limited time. Hence, Odin remained puzzled about the identity of Heimdall’s attacker.

“I don’t know. Heimdall didn’t have time to tell me who harmed him. However, he did warn me before losing consciousness. Something that could pose an absolute threat to the Nine Realms is on its way here.” Shaking his head, Odin responded with a grave tone.

“Approaching the Nine Realms? Could it be… Malekith?! He’s been away from the Nine Realms for quite some time. Could he have found allies?” Upon hearing Odin’s answer, Frigga furrowed her brow in thought and voiced her speculation.

If there was anyone with a grudge against and a potential threat to the Nine Realms, it was undoubtedly Malekith, who had recently left. Having twice failed to fulfill the Dark Elves’ millennium-old plan, the weakened Dark Elf race was now incapable of causing further turmoil in the Nine Realms.

To incite war and seize dominion, Malekith would need the assistance of external forces. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have departed the Nine Realms with just a spaceship.

“It’s unlikely to be him. Even if he managed to leave the Nine Realms successfully, it’s improbable that he could have found that entity in such a short time.” Hearing his wife’s conjecture, Odin continued to shake his head.

“Not that person… then who could have inflicted such damage on Heimdall from such a distance?”

“I’m unsure… but the thousand-year stability of the Nine Realms has finally come to an end. From now on, we can no longer settle peacefully as before.”

*Huue~*

Upon uttering these words, Odin gestured towards Heimdall, who was wrapped in a green light on the ground. In response, a golden radiance enveloped Heimdall. These golden lights swiftly coalesced from ephemeral points into diamond-shaped plates, forming something resembling a medical chamber that enclosed Heimdall inside.

“For now, we’ll seal the Bifrost temporarily and activate Asgard’s Level Two defenses across the realm. Regardless of what Heimdall saw, we must prepare for the worst.” Having sealed Heimdall within the chamber, Odin walked towards the center of the Bifrost Guardian Sanctum, continuing to speak.

Reaching the central position of the Bifrost Guardian Sanctum, Odin grasped the guardian sword that belonged to Heimdall.

*Click, Click, Click~*

In the next instant, the Bifrost control nexus began to rotate. The massive Bifrost emitter pointing towards the Nine Realms rapidly retracted, and the entire Guardian Sanctum gradually sealed shut.
