The people of Asgard did not look like normal individuals as even the normal mortals were actually wearing golden accessories. Not only did they look rich, but they also are incredibly beautiful. He also noticed that there are soldiers wearing such powerful armor that is keeping the peace.
"No wonder all of them could just flaunt their jewelries. The guards are maintaining the peace and any crime that is done will be dealt with harshly. Frey did tell me that the people of Asgard are not very compassionate when it comes to criminals." Adrian thought as he headed to his desired location.
The people of Asgard are people that are heavily policed not only by the soldiers but also their gods. If a god in Asgard views another person or mortal as a menace, then they would be ignored by the populace. There is also another view and that is the attention of a god.
If a mortal or another being catches the attention of the gods, then they would become incredibly known and revered in society. This is the situation when the gods and mortals are in the same place and interact with one another. A society built on the views of the absolute which are the gods are created.
There is one thing that does not disappear even if society is ruled by the gods themselves and that is drinking. The people of Asgard are said to be very jovial and always want to party. They drink alcohol as if they are drinking water because the mortals and even gods in Asgard have incredibly high alcohol tolerance.
The city has numerous pubs where the populace drinks as the past time for such people are stories and drinking. A society that does not fear invasions or any attacks from monsters would just focus on what they want to do. It is a society where people can pursue their passion which is art or research.
Asgard may not be perfect, but it would be a utopia for those that want to pursue art and research. The gods themselves are the ones protecting the realm which means the mortals can do anything they want. All the mortals have to do is provide the gods with faith for the latter to become stronger.
"The downside of such society is that the fall of the gods. If the gods fall, then the whole of Asgard will fall with it. The soldiers are not even equivalent to a level 200 player, but their equipment is top tier. The weakness of this society is the death of the gods because the mortals have no way to defend themselves should a powerful existential threat arrives at their doorstep." Adrian thought as he entered the pub.
Adrian does not know why the gods of Asgard wanted to integrate their world back into the main world. The mortals in this realm are not even good in combat as their job classes are mostly artistic. The people of Asgard would die should it fuse back together with the main world.
Adrian then thought of a reason why the gods of Asgard would want to integrate their world back to the main world. The reason for them wanting to return to the main world is that Asgard has already used up all of its resources. The world itself has started to stop producing natural minerals and elements needed to make civilization prosper.
Adrian might not know but his guess is actually true because Asgard is already hollow when it comes to precious metals. The gods of Asgard have fully harvested everything in this world and created the perfect golden city using it. It is also one of the reasons why they created the Bifrost in the first place as they need resources from other worlds.
Asgard can only sustain itself using food, but culture and the advancing of civilization has halted for at least a thousand years. The gods of Asgard knew that a civilization that does not continue to evolve will naturally die off. It is also one of the reasons why the Gods of Asgard let the mortals do arts and research so that their boredom would vanish.
When the Bifrost was created or rather accidentally discovered, the gods of Asgard started to pillage other worlds. The gods of Asgard themselves will go to different worlds which they call the nine realms in order to get resources there. Unlike Asgard, the other worlds have restrictions which is why armies are needed to conquer areas of other worlds.
Asgard managed to create and culminate culture for a thousand years due to this practice. Everything would have been perfect, but the resources of other worlds are not easy to culminate. The residents of the worlds that they created a gate on are not keen on letting invaders take the precious resources of their world.
The numerous gods of Asgard would battle these inhabitants. They would either make them submit or kill all of them to make an example. The gods of Asgard knew that they need a bigger world to get resources from as the other worlds have become treacherous and dangerous even for the gods.
The gods of Asgard could no longer ignore that they need Midgard which is the main world. They tried conquering Midgard back then, but they were severely defeated as the restriction of the main world is very potent. Seeing that they cannot use brute force in order to get Midgard, the gods of Asgard devised a plan to slowly weaken the barrier that separates the worlds which is the divine barrier.
The divine realm barrier not only blocks the gods but also the worlds from merging back into the main world. The gods of Asgard were not the only ones that planned this as the gods of other worlds have thought the same thing. Even if the gods did not know that they were planning the same thing, all of them weakened the divine realm barrier centuries ago and is now reaping what they sow.
