Global Abyss: My Skills Can Enhance Infinitely-Chapter 991 - 799: Spot On Assessment_4
Frigg’s face showed a touch of emotional sway after hearing Thor’s words.
“Thank you for saving my child. He may be reckless, but he is a good boy. I wonder, is the Ancient One doing well nowadays?”
Sure enough, Frigg knew the Ancient One.
The so-called Supreme Mage could be considered the pinnacle existence among all spellcasters of this era. As a witch adept in magic herself, Frigg naturally knew of the Ancient One.
“The Ancient One’s condition is not good. She guards the other dimension, but she too has been infected by this thing—more severely, in fact. However, the Ancient One managed to distribute the corruption using the Eye of Agamotto, and has been enduring it so far.”
Tao Yu’s words made the Queen of Gods’ expression subtly change.
“Even the Ancient One has fallen prey to this calamity? This… this… what could this possibly be?”
Frigg’s previously composed visage became somewhat heavy. She turned her uneasy eyes downward toward Asgard, gazing at the roots of the Tree of the World.
What exactly is hidden down there…?
“The Abyss—a force capable of devouring all realms and returning everything to Chaos—has set its sights on this world.” freewёbnoνel.com
“The Abyss…”
Frigg’s face revealed a thoughtful look, her expression flickering.
As the Queen of Gods in Asgard and a knowledgeable witch, she possessed far more intelligence and secrets.
She was already aware of the Abyss Plane in the Marvel World.
“Is it the Abyss said to be ruled by the ancient Evil God, Nar?”
The Marvel Universe indeed has an Abyss, and Nar is also the creator of the symbiotes like Venom. His power is formidable, with feats of slaying members of the Celestial Gods.
“Oh, I’m afraid it’s even more treacherous than what Her Majesty imagines the Abyss to be. Perhaps the Ancient One fell victim to it precisely because of this. How should I put it… Maybe the Abyss you are familiar with was merely the first portion to be devoured…”
Tao Yu carefully elaborated on the troublesome nature of the Abyss.
The Abyss in the Marvel Universe was already quite difficult to deal with, but ultimately, it was just a dimensional space. Nar, though powerful, was merely food for the Abyss.
After receiving the gift from the Ancient One and agreeing to assume the role of Supreme Mage, Tao Yu naturally would put forth his best effort to confront the Abyss.
Currently, however, Tao Yu’s power in the Marvel World was still insufficient to unite forces, and there were too many powerful entities in Marvel with their own agendas, making it impossible to openly assemble allies.
Yet right now, Asgard could certainly be seen as a natural ally.
At least when it came to the defense of the Nine Realms, their interests were undoubtedly aligned.
”Even more treacherous…”
Frigg was somewhat at a loss.
She had thought the invasion of the legendary Abyss was already an immensely thorny issue. Now, she was being told it was even more troublesome?
“To be precise, it’s not even on the same level. Let’s first take a look at what’s going on with Heimdall. Loki mentioned that his sanity still partially remains and that he can still think. Perhaps I can figure something out.”
Tao Yu’s words reinvigorated everyone’s spirits.
Heimdall had always been unwaveringly loyal to Asgard, taking on the tireless task of being its Guardian, monitoring the Nine Realms.
Thus, when Loki initially claimed Heimdall had gone mad, they were utterly incredulous.
If he could truly be saved, it would be the best possible outcome.
“Oh, my friend, I do not wish to burden you, but I beg you—truly beg you—to save Heimdall.”
Thor spoke rather incoherently in his plea.
“I’ll do my best.”
Tao Yu nodded his head.
Frigg, the more seasoned individual, took the opportunity to speak.
“It may feel like a trite gesture to mention rewards for the future Supreme Mage; however, you saved Thor and are now about to attempt to rescue Heimdall. Asgard cannot be disrespectful. Whether or not the endeavor succeeds, we are willing to open Asgard’s treasury. You may choose three Divine Artifacts—any three you desire.”
While Tao Yu had maintained a composed demeanor when nodding to Thor earlier, a sly grin now spread across his face, as if saying, ‘You truly know how to pick your people.’
Gifting treasures? Where is that ever tacky? I’m precisely the kind of person who appreciates such gestures!
“Leave it to me.”
From the initial expression of “doing his best,” Tao Yu now outright promised to handle it.
Taking a step forward, he directly crossed the lake and arrived at the control station for the Rainbow Bridge. There, he saw the Ice Box hovering and continually emanating icy energy to reinforce the area below.
He then lowered his gaze toward the ice crystal shimmering with a deep blue hue.
No wonder it was the sacred object of the Frost Giants; this conceptual level of freezing was far stronger than the methods employed by Esdeath.
At least within this world, it counted as one of the top-tier Sacred Objects…
