Chapter 401 Bifrost Gate

A tremendous bolt of lightning came from the sky very close to the floating plains.

King Castian used tier 7 lightning magic to break the barrier at the gate into the real world of the elves. A place where they could return to their ancestor.

However, the mighty lightning was unable to destroy the stone statue in front of them. Precisely with the attack initiated by the high elve king, the two stone eyes of the statue seemed to give off a flash of light.

And thunderous voice could be heard loudly, repeating the same words.

"I am the Bifrost Gatekeeper. My name is Heimdall."

Tristan was surprised to see this new discovery, a stone statue that could speak and could not be destroyed with the power of the high elve king. It was as if the attack magic the king had just performed got absorbed by the statue.

"There was no mistake. The Bifrost Gate. This is the gate mentioned in the elders' information. The gate that connects this world with the elven world." King Castian was very sure, and without waiting any longer, he had already prepared his next attack to break the barrier.

However, the wise Callan tried to stop the king's actions.

"King Castian, we must not be careless. What if your attack will destroy the gate? There must be another way to open this gate without making an attack." Callan tried to remind King Castian.

King Castian tilted his head slightly, "We've come this far. The door to our home is in sight."

"We will definitely find a way to open that gate. We better check this place out better. Maybe there's a clue."

Hearing Callan, who continued to urge him, King Castian had no other choice but to carry out his idea.

In fact, using attack magic to forcefully open the gate also made him afraid he would accidentally destroy it and the elves would be trapped forever on a foreign planet.

Tristan had already decided to check out the giant stones that had caught his attention earlier than the elves. And he also found the writings carved on the surface of the giant stones.

"Ehm...Maybe you guys will be interested to see this." Tristan tried to get the attention of the arguing elves and succeeded.

Callan, who was the fastest, walked up to him and saw what Tristan was pointing at.

It was an inscription on the stone, Callan read the handwriting, which was Asgardian, aloud.

It told the story of 5000 years ago, the elves came to the Asgardian planet through this gate and carried out a massive invasion.

A great war was unavoidable.

The war that took place between the elves as invaders and the original humans of the planet, the humans who call themselves Asgardians.

The arrival of the elves to their home caused great chaos to occur.

The power of the elves was so great that many humans of Asgardian died in the war.

For the Asgardians, the war that took place at that time was a Ragnarok apocalypse that brought their population close to extinction.

The elves also started sending more people and establishing colonies on this planet.

But the Asgardians would not let the elves continue to arrive.

The Alfather Odin decided on a big plan. First was to kill the elves guarding the gates, send the Vanir tribe to another world to save themselves and then close the Bifrost gate so that no more elves come to this world.

To succeed, Odin was ready to break the sacred seal and give birth to two mythical beasts to help in the grand plan.

Fenrir and Jormungand.

With the help of the immense power of the two mythical beasts, the Asgardians managed to reclaim the gate, which was heavily guarded by the elves.

Not just that, the Asgardians under the leadership of the Alfather Odin then managed to raise a mist barrier to hide the location of the Bifrost gate. At the same time, they prevented the elves from being able to return to access a call for help.

Everything was going according to plan until suddenly, just before the gate closed again, an uninvited guest came through the gate.

An elf with terrifying power. A Blood Elf.

And that was when there was a massacre. The Asgardians and the two mythical beasts fought against the blood elf. And this was the start of the rampage of Fenrir the mythical wolf who could not be controlled anymore.

The beast started to attack most of the warriors and spread curses to some Vanir. But the nightmare didn't end there.

A terrible thing happened when Jormungand began to turn the air in the place to be filled with poison, and anyone who inhaled too much of it would soon die.

Jormungand tried to attack the blood elf with another deadly venom throw.

Seeing the massacre carried out by the mythical beasts as a result of his plan, the Alfather Odin decided to let the Asgardians who had gone with him go and planned to continue his mission alone.

"I have sent the survivors, the descendants of Vanir, to a planet called Earth 1002. a few of them were cursed by the wolf. But at least it's the last thing I can do to save them."

Not knowing whether by luck or because they were being injured, the blood elf left them. While the two mythical beasts were wandering around, hiding inside the mist layer and living in it.

"Even though The blood elf destroyed everything, Our Mission to lock the gate is still completed. With two mythical beasts wandering around in the mist, none of the elves would be able to survive and reach this place."

"The Bifrost gate was locked. Forever."

Callan looked at the elves who were listening to his story very seriously.

"The blood elf was there too." He looked at Tristan expectantly, hoping that Tristan would give a more complete story about it because he was also a blood elf.

But Tristan didn't remember anything from that incident.

"I don't remember anything about that one."

Tristan could hear several of the elves sigh in disappointment at his answer.

But King Ivaasar suddenly commented, "So we do know that the blood elf was trying to keep the gate open at that time."

"They helped us." Queen Leena added while looking at King Castian, who still wouldn't accept Tristan's existence since his unforgivable act happened.

Even so, Tristan felt more and more connected to the historical stories that were written thousands of years ago on this planet. And apart from being involved in the process of closing the gates of blood elves, he also heard the word planet Earth.

The Alfather Odin was the one who had written that message on the surface of the giant rock that lay on the floating plains.

Odin truly hoped that if his plan succeeded, one day, his descendants of the Asgardians could defeat the elves who had been trapped on the planet and exterminate them.

But at that moment, Odin himself was dying due to the curse he got from the attack of Fenrir and the god-serpent's toxin.

Callan read all the messages written on the surface of the giant stones in that place. Every few sentences, he had to switch to another stone until he was now on the other side of the Bifrost gate.

And after finishing the reading, Callan was able to focus on a nearby place.

At that moment, he realized that he had just discovered something the elves had not realized before.

"Odin's funeral."

Tristan darted toward Callan to see for himself what he meant. And from the crevice of two gigantic boulders that stood tall,

Other rocks looked like they were arranged by magical powers to form a majestic stone throne.

On the stone throne, Tristan could see the discoloured remains of human bones. No one knew how many thousands of years it had been there.

Tristan walked up to the throne with Callan. And once again, there was another inscription under the stone that served as the last throne of Odin.

"Die to the elves, all will  get lost in the mist and face a terrible death at the hands of two invincible immortal beasts."

As he finished reading everything, Callan ran back to the stone statue of Heimdall, the keeper of the Bifrost gate.

In front of the statue was a stone control panel which had ceased to function because the Alfather Odin had done something with it.

At that moment, Callan directly asked the Heimdall statue.

"Heimdall, can you tell us how to open the gate you are guarding?"

Callan asked in a wise voice as if he was paying homage to the giant stone statue.

And the eyes of the stone statue flashed again, then the thundering voice could be heard again by the elves.

"Only the legacy of Aesir will be allowed to open the gate."
