Chapter 998: Chapter 419 Awakening from Memory
Tartarus’s chronology is vastly different from the outside world, a fact Zeus knew before descending into the Abyss.
Each layer of the Abyss Interface also tends to vary significantly.
After an indeterminate amount of time, Zeus woke from the frigid, soul-piercing Cold Spring. He slowly opened his eyes, but a glimpse of shock and horror could still be seen in them.
The long yet brief memory journey had ended, and he had returned to reality.
However, the experience was not as he had anticipated; in this segment of memory, Zeus had encountered no persecution or conspiracy.
All he did was bear witness to a chapter of Alien Realm’s history, witnessing how Thunder God Thor, the Son of the Divine King, vanished without a trace like his mother Frigg, never to reappear until the final day of the Nine Realms’ destruction.

When the embodier of his will, the Thunder God ‘died’, he naturally returned to reality. Without the friction of world rules affecting each other, he hardly faced any obstacles.
It was like a dream, no matter what happened within, it should have had no link to reality.
However, the intense heat emerging in his palm at some unknown point made Zeus realize, this was by no means an illusion.
“Mjolnir… actually appeared, but how is this possible?”
Incredible, yet undeniable.
The hammerhead interwoven with gold and crimson, the intricate and ancient inscriptions, and the thunderous strength even more formidable than his own being—undoubtedly, this was Thor’s Hammer of the Thunder God that had been in Thor’s grip in that memory fragment.
In that piece of memory, Zeus also yearned for it, but he was aware that the likelihood was almost non-existent.
Yet, to his utmost astonishment, not long had passed, perhaps just a mere half-day.
With the memory fragment, at the behest of an innocent child-like gaze, the divide between memory and reality was altered.
Upon returning to reality, the Divine Artifact of the Nine Realms had indeed materialized in his hand. If not for the chill of the Cold Spring, the high temperature of the Hammer alone might have been enough to injure Zeus’s palm.
Ex nihilo?
No.
Although still unclear, Zeus did not consider this to be creation from nothing.
In the Divine King’s understanding, true creation ex nihilo doesn’t exist.
If there must be an exception, perhaps the emergence of fully-formed worlds like Chaos or the Nine Realms could be seen as such, but that’s as far as it goes.
Beyond that, there is no such thing as creation from nothing in this world. What happened to him might simply be the result of a certain power, long ago in the distant past, altering the existence form of the deceased Thunder God and his Divine Artifact.
This power transformed these two inanimate objects from their physical existence into ephemeral, uncertain information, eventually hiding inside this memory fragment.
Such grandeur and inconceivability; achieving the creation of Eye of Odin, altering Odin’s way of thinking, and even destroying the entire Nine Realms—Zeus was not certain of the last point, but at least the first two were highly probable.
He had suspected as much earlier, after all, based on various records he had found in Asgard, the previous Monarch who ruled Asgard seemed inconsistent with the one he had met during the ‘Ceremony of Sovereign Power.’
Initially, Zeus did not overthink it, attributing it to the Divine King’s basic tactic of being two-faced. But now, it seems that this might not be the case.
Perhaps Odin, when arranging that so-called contingency in Asgard, was already under an invisible influence, one that not even he was aware of in himself.
Like that so-called ‘Eye of Odin’, Zeus was certain that there were overlooked issues hidden beneath that seemingly naive and youthful consciousness, issues that the newborn consciousness itself hadn’t realized either.
It simply stumbled through a bargain with Zeus, prematurely offering Mjolnir as a down payment, not even knowing to exact a guarantee from Zeus.
Facing its request, the Divine King, unaware of the situation, naturally did not rashly refuse.
After skirting around in artful language without leaving behind anything that could be termed a ‘promise’, Zeus essentially tried to probe the origin of the other party.
Being able to communicate with him, this ‘bystander’, within memory, the ‘Eye of Odin’ was undoubtedly also a ‘living’ entity, much like the Odin who almost plotted against him before.
Hence, he maintained a tightly wound vigilance, daring not to relax his guard in the slightest.
Not until the reconstituted memory fragment reached its end and the Divine King emerged from it did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.
In the cold Fountain, Zeus gazed at the Mjolnir in his hand. The memory fragment, like a spent force, no longer existed in his mind.
But although the Memory Fragment was gone, Zeus could not guarantee that the ‘Eye of Odin’ he had interacted with had disappeared as well.
After all, its recounted experiences… were indeed alarming.
“… An ultimate power gathered upon a long spear, locking in countless possibilities of space-time. Before its release, all cause and effect were pinned down. Unstoppable, it thrusted at the Divine Tree that supported the Nine Realms… and before destruction ensued, the unfathomable will of the Nine Realms finally descended.”
“In instinctual Fear, the Eye of Odin did not continue to observe. It frantically sought to escape, but it was trapped, with no possibility of escape.”
