Chapter 427: Greetings (Patreon)

---2/2---

At the central location within the camp, one of the leaders of the Frost Giants was in communication with an envoy from the Mountain Giants.

"Kranqula, our Frost Giant king has led the majority of our forces to the mountain highlands. I wonder what news you bring with you this time."

"Ligari, our king and the Frost Giant king have announced to the Nine Realms that Jotunheim is now independent, no longer under the control of Odin."

"But with our announcement, the kings of the other Nine Realms will surely join in. Odin won't take this lying down; he'll send troops to attack us. We need to be prepared in advance."

"Our king of Jotun suggests that we unite our forces, gather the power of Jotunheim, and we won't fear any attacks from them."

"The Frost Giant king has agreed to our king's request."

Hearing the words of the Mountain Giant envoy in front of him, Ligari spoke, "Without the Rainbow Bridge, the people of the Asgard won't dare to wage war everywhere."

"Without that terrifying mobility and the power of star-destroying weapons, no one will submit to Odin's feet anymore. Odin won't be able to wage war against all of us."

Kranqula shook his head and said, "He doesn't need to wage war on multiple fronts, he just needs to subdue those who rebel against him first."

"Then, under the threat of punishment, the other realms might not dare to rebel immediately."

"At that time, Odin can push through one by one with a large army."

Ligari countered, "Odin can't possibly have the energy for that. He's already old."

"We all know that his glory is about to fade, but we don't know exactly when it will truly end."

"And with Asgard's spaceship technology, it will take nearly half a month to reach here."

Kranqula nodded, "Yes, the Nine Realms all know that he's getting old. That's why we dared to take advantage of this opportunity for a fight."

"But who can be sure that an aging tiger, at the last moment, won't choose to take away everyone he deems hostile for the survival of the Asgard?"

Just as Ligari was about to say something more, he heard a commotion within the camp, which displeased him.

Then, he shouted to the guards at the door, "What's happening?"

The guards outside entered the tent, kneeling down, "Leader, Gal has returned. He said he saw Odin's son in Jotunheim."

"What?"

Ligari stood up excitedly.

"Bring Gal in quickly. I need to confirm the truth of this matter."

"Yes, leader!"

Soon, Gal was brought in.

"I heard you saw Thor Odinson. Where did you see him?"

"Leader, I just returned to the old palace site to mourn my parents. Then I saw Thor Odinson and another stranger there, above the crater."

"As soon as I noticed him, I didn't dare to stay long for fear of being discovered. So, I ran back all the way to report the information."

"Gal, are you sure you didn't see it wrong?"

"Leader, the last time Thor came, I was on the scene. I absolutely wouldn't mistake the person. It's just that the person with him is not from the Asgards who came last time."

"Leader, while there are only two of them now, we should gather our forces, surround them, and inform the king to come and kill them."

"We need to avenge our fallen kin with the blood of Odin's son."

Watching Gal, filled with hatred, Ligari spoke, "Fine, I understand."

"Gal, you can leave. I have something to discuss with the envoy from the Mountain Giants."

"Yes, leader!"

Seeing Gal leave, Kranqula, who had been silent before, spoke, "This news needs to be reported immediately."

"It seems I was right before. Odin will be the first to cause trouble for us."

Now, as Charles and Thor approached, the Frost Giant camp appeared before them.

Looking at the temporary camp and the numerous Frost Giants everywhere, Thor exclaimed, "Indeed, you found them. They're really hiding here."

"All the way using magic to conceal our whereabouts, just to follow that Frost Giant here. How could we be wrong?"

"Unless he discovers us, I was sure that he'll lead us to the camp's location."

Now that the location was confirmed, Charles closed his eyes and opened them again, returning to normal and deactivating the Byakugan.

Then, Charles waved his hand, dispelling the invisibility magic on both of them.

"Invisibility has been canceled!" Charles announced.

With their figures revealed, the Frost Giants at the camp's entrance noticed them. In this rarely visited icy plain, the sudden appearance of the two was too conspicuous not to be noticed.

As they rapidly approached the Frost Giants' camp, Charles, while running, smiled and said, "Since we're here, let's greet them loudly!"

Directly in the midst of running, Charles quickly formed hand seals: Tiger, Dog, Ox, Rabbit, Tiger.

"Fire Release: Phoenix Fire Technique!"

As Charles completed the hand seals, the dragon-shaped ring on his finger flashed with light, enhancing the power of the ninjutsu.

Several huge, bright red, high-temperature fireballs spewed out from Charles's mouth, directly rushing towards the Frost Giants' camp.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The fireballs exploded massively upon landing in the camp, instantly knocking several Frost Giants to the ground. After the transformation of Charles's bloodline and strength, the fireballs, unaffected by the changing weather and environment, displayed terrifying power.

On the side, Thor laughed, "Ha ha, well done."

"Say hello to these Frost Giant brats."

Thor shouted loudly, "You bunch of rebels dare to defy us. I, Thor, son of Odin, have come to eliminate you!"

Then, he threw his hammer, Mjolnir, towards the camp.

"Swoosh!"

Mjolnir, with incredible speed, charged straight into the camp, obliterating everything in its path—Frost Giants, camp buildings, all of it. The destruction caused by Thor's hammer, enhanced once again by the Dragon's Treasure Ring, was formidable.

The hammer, having wreaked havoc, flew back to Thor's hand.

Catching Mjolnir, Thor excitedly looked at Charles, as if saying, "Hey, buddy, wasn't that a great move!"

At this moment, the explosions in the Frost Giants' camp and the screams immediately awakened everyone inside. Numerous Frost Giants ran out, all looking at Thor with red eyes.
