Saint Seiya Evil Skull

Infinitely far from Northern Europe lies a mysterious and magnificent land called Asgard. This is the home of the Æsir, a race of gods whose palaces tower proudly over the land like giants.

Those palaces towered into the clouds, majestic and imposing, their grandeur could not help but inspire awe. Just by looking at them from afar, one could deeply feel the endless splendor and glory that the Aesir had in the past.

However, a closer look reveals a startling discovery: most of the palaces are already covered in dense weeds, as if nature is gradually eroding these masterpieces of human civilization. Inside, the palaces reveal a scene of decay and desolation: peeling walls, leaning beams, and an air of age and decay pervades. This suggests that these palaces have long been uninhabited and unmaintained.

It was obvious that most of the palaces in Asgard had fallen into ruin, with only broken walls left to bear witness to the vicissitudes of time. However, there were still a few palaces that maintained their bright and beautiful appearance, and they stood out in this desolate place.

In the very heart of Asgard stands the grandest palace. This palace is not only the heart of Asgard, but also the venerable residence of Odin, King of the Æsir. Its unparalleled luxury and grandeur demonstrate Odin's supreme status and power.

Within the solemn and majestic interior of the Temple of Odin, atop a magnificent and imposing throne sat a man approximately fifty years old. He was exceptionally tall, seemingly towering over the heavens, and he evoked an invisible sense of oppression.

A closer look reveals he's missing an eye, but this in no way diminishes his majesty or dominance. On the contrary, that single eye pierces deeply and pierces, as if able to discern the mysteries of the world. He wears a wide-brimmed hat, simple yet elegant, adding a touch of mystery to his demeanor.

The dark gray cloak he wore was as thick and deep as the darkest clouds in the night sky. However, the shimmering star pattern inlaid along the cloak's edge was as dazzling as a myriad of stars, creating a striking contrast. He also wore a wide-brimmed hat, as blue as the clear sky, which, in the afterglow of the setting sun, reflected a dreamy light.

Odin's deep, piercing eyes seemed to hold the mysterious power of life and death, making anyone afraid to gaze into their gaze for too long. The spear he clutched radiated a chilling glint, sending shivers down his spine. Though he appeared to be an unassuming old man, he was none other than Odin, the Norse God King—the supreme being in Norse mythology, ruling not only the wondrous land of Asgard but also the undisputed leader of the entire Æsir race.

Recalling the shocking, devastating final battle with the Vanir, its intensity was beyond imagination! Like a raging storm, this fierce battle relentlessly swept across the entire universe. The Aesir threw their all, engaging the Vanir in a life-or-death struggle. However, the sheer magnitude of this fierce battle left the Aesir severely weakened.

But who could have foreseen the cruel and merciless twists of fate? Just as they were barely recovering from the trauma of the great battle, the Olympians descended upon them like ghosts, dealing a crushing blow to the already wounded Aesir. In an instant, flames of war raged, and a bloody storm filled the air between heaven and earth.

In the end, the Aesir suffered an unprecedented heavy loss. The gods within the tribe suffered heavy casualties, and only a few survived, less than 10%. Moreover, those gods who survived were all seriously injured, and some of their injuries were so severe that they have not yet recovered.

Among the wounded was the great Odin. Recalling the past, he had first engaged in a thrilling battle with the powerful Nidred. In that battle, both sides unleashed their full might, the killing raged until the sky darkened and the sun and moon lost their light.

Odin had fought through countless hardships and paid a heavy price to achieve victory. But before he could even rest, he encountered a formidable foe of his own equal: Zeus. Facing this equally formidable opponent, Odin once again found himself in a difficult battle, his injuries steadily worsening.

Despite this, Odin still relied on his tenacious will and outstanding leadership skills to lead the remaining troops of the Aesir to break out bravely, fighting bloody battles all the way, and finally successfully escaped back to their home - Asgard.

Since then, the Aesir have been like wounded beasts, huddled in the solid fortress of Asgard, silently licking their wounds and recuperating.

However, the injuries sustained in the battle between the God Kings were far from easily healed. Even after tens of thousands of years had passed, Odin's wounds still lingered. Furthermore, due to the prolonged effort to suppress the onset of his injuries, his physical condition had only worsened. His current strength was significantly reduced compared to his former self, and even showed signs of worsening.

Because of this, Odin had to focus most of his energy on healing and stabilizing his own condition, and naturally had no time to take care of various matters outside Asgard.

Prior to this, the God of Fire, Loki, approached Odin and offered to personally travel to Northern Europe to test the true strength and capabilities of the Olympian gods. Upon hearing this, Odin hesitated for a moment, but ultimately nodded and agreed to Loki's request.

However, to everyone's surprise, Loki disappeared without a trace after his departure, like a stone sinking into the sea, with no further news ever coming back. Now, even Odin himself could no longer sense the powerful fluctuations of Loki's cosmic energy. There was no doubt that Loki had met with an unforeseen fate, utterly annihilated by his enemies.

This result infuriated Odin, his rage blazing. The Aesir were now a far cry from their former selves, mired in a dire plight. Every loss of a god was a crushing blow to the Aesir, as their numbers were already pitifully low. Each death meant a loss of strength.

Not to mention the fall of Loki, a god who ranked extremely high among the Aesir. Even in the heyday of the Aesir, losing such an important god would have had a huge impact, enough to be considered a serious injury. How much more so in such a difficult situation as now?

Therefore, even though Odin himself was still seriously injured and urgently needed time to recuperate, he could no longer care about so much at the moment. He had to turn his attention to Loki's destination - Asgard in Northern Europe.

That was the human kingdom he ruled, but he hadn't performed a miracle in Asgard for a long time. At this moment, he was deeply concerned about his people in Asgard. He wondered if they were safe and if they still believed in him, the god, with all their heart.

Just as the powerful god Odin used his unique one eye to penetrate the endless time and space and look at the distant Asgard.

Within the Asgard Palace, Alberich seemed to have received a mysterious revelation from the depths of fate. He acted decisively, swiftly and secretly concealing his vast power. At the same time, he unleashed an astonishing feat—forcefully compressing his microcosm to the point of perfection within his seventh sense, manas!

You have to know that this was the remarkable achievement that Albelisi had achieved after five years of painstaking research and practice! Through this magical method, he successfully hid his true strength deeply.

Unless one has reached the transcendent realm of the Tenth Sense, Absolute Divine Consciousness, it is difficult for anyone to perceive the true depth of his cultivation. Thus, this undoubtedly became a solid shield for Albelisi to protect himself.
