Thanos didn't want to be a villain.

Lincoln went to the land of the dwarves, and Dio found Frigga and obtained a device that could store light energy.

"What do you need this for?" Frigga asked, as she was taking care of Atreus.

"I planned to go to the highest peak, but I encountered a black mist on the way. It seemed like there was some kind of curse in it. I asked the dwarves nearby, and they said that only the energy from the Elven Kingdom could break through it."

"They said you have items here that can be carried."

Frigga had no doubts; there was indeed black mist on the way to the highest peak of Midgard, a fact known to both her and the two dwarf brothers nearby.

Frigga thought for a moment, then took something out and gave it to Dio.

Dio: "I will return it after I'm done using it."

After saying that, he left.

Frigga sighed; she was feeling very melancholy.

It's autumn now, but the weather is colder than winter, which worries Frigg.

The long, cold winter similar to Fimbulb last time terrified the Norse gods.

Even Frigga, who had been expelled, was worried about Badr's safety and even took the initiative to look for him, which was rare for her.

But Frigg couldn't find Badr until the temperature warmed up.

Because, before the prophecy of Fimbulwinter, the Norse god who died was Baldr, the god of light!

But the subsequent warming of temperatures was something the Norse gods hadn't anticipated, but everyone was happy because Ragnarok wouldn't happen.

But now, the weather is getting colder and colder, just like the start of the last long winter.

This made Frigg's heart clench again.

……

Dio used the Rainbow Bridge to reach the Elf Kingdom, Alfheim.

This is a country full of light, nature, and harmony.

But not long after he left, Dio saw something that was very different from the mainstream values ​​of this country.

Several dark elves with insect-like wings, wearing armor and wielding spears, killed the light elves who were dressed in white robes, barefoot, and with fair skin.

But when they turned their heads, they saw Dio.

Dio: ...

Dio casually swatted the few dark elves to death and strolled along the ornately decorated stone path.

"The environment here is quite beautiful."

After admiring the sights for a while, Dio stopped watching, ignoring the chattering dark elves, and flew towards the building not far away.

When I played the game before, there were many places I couldn't go to. This time, when I could really run around freely, Dio could really wander around everywhere.

"Such a large piece of crystal?" After flying over a large lake, a crimson beam of light shot into the sky.

Dio's attention, however, was drawn to a large piece of crystal below, and he couldn't resist flying down to take a closer look.

I used to see Kratos as such a big guy when I played games, and I was disappointed that he couldn't fly. Now that I have the chance, I'll get closer to him.

Honestly, this thing is really big; it looks quite large even from a distance.

"Judging by its size, it's about half the size of a Warhound-class Titan!" Dio compared them in his mind.

Of course, Dio wouldn't study the Titans, humanoid walking battlefield tools from the Warhammer universe. Such things are fine for fantasy works to imagine, but in actual combat, they would be sitting ducks and extremely fragile.

Dio sensed that there was a huge energy reserve inside, and it even had the function of absorbing energy.

Judging from the direction of these light paths, it must be something like a transformer.

After wandering around aimlessly for a while, Dio finally remembered his real mission.

Dio also noticed the blacksmith shop in the corner, but there was no one inside.

Dio violently broke down the main gate; he didn't have the energy to unravel the mysteries and overcome obstacles everywhere.

The key thing is the stuff that the dark elves used to trap the light of Alfheim. When playing the game, Dio complained that it looked like some kind of calcium carbonate-like substance produced by insects after they build their nests.

In addition, during the final battle to obtain the light, the dark elves hanging upside down on the pillars looked like a swarm of flying insects you might see in a corridor in the summer.

Just looking at Dio makes me feel like I have trypophobia.

But now things are different. With a wave of his hand, Dio wiped out the whole group of things, and also eliminated the crystals and the things blocking the reflection prisms that were surrounding them.

Feeling the energy increase after killing enemy units, Dio's eyes lit up. The energy in this group of dark elves was more than double the total energy of the group of ninjas he had killed in the Naruto world!

Dio looked at the pillar of light before him with burning eyes.

The Light of Alfheim possesses intense heat and energy similar to sunlight, is extremely pure, and has an absolute suppressive effect on darkness.

Dio throws the device he obtained from Frigga into the pillar of light, allowing it to absorb the light energy within.

Kratos was trapped in the game for several days, even becoming so engrossed in the illusion that he couldn't escape. If Atreus, the God of War, hadn't unleashed his full potential and pulled Kratos out, he doesn't know how much longer he would have stayed in Alfheim.

Even Kratos was stunned when Atreus spent several days killing off a pile of corpses after he came out.

The game begins here, transforming into a tale of a war god and his illiterate old father.

Thinking of this, Dio couldn't help but laugh out loud.

However, Dio did not neglect his business and began to try to absorb the energy of the pillar of light, the light of Alfheim.

In an instant, a massive amount of energy surged into his body. After a while, even Dio felt like he was having a dessert before a meal.

Looking at the Alfheim Light before him, which was undiminished in the slightest and whose color had not faded even a little, Dio's eyes burned even more intensely.

He desperately wanted to take this thing back and connect it to the Empire to power its daily operations!

"?"

Shaking his head, Dio complained, "Why do I still have to worry about the future of the empire when I'm almost retired? Am I just born to be a workaholic?"

Dio stopped thinking about it, feeling that the energy inside the device was full. Dio took it out and returned to the Rainbow Bridge before the light elves could return.

Back in the courtyard, Dio rushed to Frigga's cabin, only to find Kratos already back.

"So fast?" Dio asked Lincoln, looking at Atreus, who was already showing signs of improvement.

Lincoln explained that they had been in Helheim for several days, and they wouldn't have been able to return if time didn't flow differently in each of the Nine Realms.

And all of this is mainly due to Hela.

"As soon as we entered, Hela teleported us into the palace, a building that doesn't even exist in the fifth game—Hela's palace from mythology," Lincoln exclaimed.

“Even if Hela was teleported away, it shouldn’t take you several days to get there, right?” Dio said.

Lincoln shrugged helplessly: "We were teleported together when Hela was teleported away, and we even had a fight with a dog inside. If that dog hadn't been trapped, it would have been quite difficult for us to kill it."

"After that, we slowly made our way from the middle of Helheim toward the bridge. It took us several days. Along the way, we stumbled upon a Valkyrie, and it took us some time to finally kill her."

After saying that, Lincoln leaned close to Dio and whispered, "Do you remember those emerald green ravens that Odin roamed throughout the Nine Realms?"

Dio nodded.

“After Hela was teleported to the palace, I saw that all the ravens were destroyed. This means that Odin has lost sight of Helheim. I even suspect that Asgard can no longer enter Helheim!”
