"Analysis complete."
"Acquired the ability to mimic Frost Giant Laufey."
"Skill acquisition successful."
"The Casket of Ancient Winters has been completely devoured, the essence of ice has been successfully acquired, and the skill acquisition is successful."
The voice of the Great Sage kept ringing, especially the acquisition of skills, which allowed Rimuru to master another trump card.
However, Rimuru did not feel much joy in her heart; instead, she felt a sense of calm.
By now, the acquisition of new skills was no longer enough to make Rimuru greatly surprised or overjoyed.
She had already mastered more than enough attack techniques.
In terms of ice, fire, and lightning, she had mastered them to perfection.
Now, she had transcended the simple pursuit of "techniques" and had begun to focus on a higher realm.
Rimuru clearly perceived that, as long as the conditions were sufficient, she could advance to an Awakened Demon Lord at any time.
By then, Rimuru would truly be a hegemon of the Universe.
Even among Father-level beings, she would be among the top tier!
While Rimuru was digesting the spoils of war, Asgard was in an uproar.
No one had expected that the vast invasion of Asgard by the three nations would ultimately end in such an unimaginable way.
Especially the climactic battle between Rimuru and Laufey, which was destined to be recorded in the annals of the Nine Realms.
In front of Rimuru, this new King who shone brightly as soon as she emerged, everything else would pale in comparison.
The only fortunate thing was that Rimuru was Thor's teacher.
Being a friend, not an enemy, to Asgard was better than anything!
Seeing the battlefield still experiencing both ice and fire, the gods of Asgard were all awestruck.
The Casket of Ancient Winters and the Eternal Flame were too dominant, permanently changing the climate of the battlefield!
If they didn't use divine power to clear it, the ice and fire pattern of this battlefield might persist for thousands of years.
Even with the Asgardians' ability to clear it, it would be a massive project, requiring an unknown amount of manpower and resources.
While everyone marveled at Rimuru's power, they also increasingly admired the wisdom of the Father of the Gods.
Mirror Dimension
The Avengers were greatly shocked.
Although they had long known that Rimuru was exceptionally powerful, the strongest of the superheroes on Earth.
What they had never expected was that Rimuru's strength was not only on Earth, but also exceedingly rare throughout the entire Universe.
They had personally experienced the combat power of the Asgardians and the Jotunheimr.
An ordinary Asgardian soldier could rival a seasoned Earthling soldier.
If it weren't for their low birth rate and small population base, Earthlings would probably be restless.
Especially at the end, Rimuru's battle with Laufey, transforming into Fire King Surtur, made the Avengers' imaginations run wild.
Tony Stark: "Previously, I, Thor, and Captain intercepted Laufey, while Rimuru blocked the Jotunheim army. This was merely the surface-level battle plan. Rimuru's true body must have gone to devour Fire King Surtur!"
Everyone nodded, agreeing with Tony Stark's analysis.
Devouring an enemy and then seizing their abilities—that was simply too incredible!
Thinking about Rimuru's final battle with Laufey, everyone felt a bit sorry for Laufey.
Laufey was not just unlucky; he was incredibly unlucky!
Regarding Rimuru, at this moment, everyone was not just curious, but also filled with conviction and reverence!
Not only her strength, but also her status.
They would not forget that Rimuru was now the King of Jötunheimr.
Jotunheim—a great world on par with Earth!
Just then, a portal opened in the Mirror Dimension.
Earth
The dark clouds dispersed, and the Sun once again shone upon the Earth, warming people and making them feel exceptionally comfortable.
Everyone looked up at the Sun above their heads with an unimaginable reverence.
Only by losing something do you appreciate it; the past few hours had been truly terrifying.
"The Sun is out, the temperature is warming up. We don't have to die, we don't have to die!"
"No more homelessness, that's great!"
"Praise the Sun!"
At this moment, the world—every continent, country, and region—all erupted in celebration.
United States—White House
"Mr. President, confirmed, it's completely confirmed. The extreme abnormal temperature drop is over, the world is warming up. The crisis is over!"
The President's stiff body suddenly slumped down.
God!
God bless America!
Dozens of seconds later, the President finally regained his composure. "Notify them, I want to give a national television address."
"Yes!"
The secretary, beaming with joy, ran out with light steps.
Asia, Europe, Africa
Similar events were happening in countries all over the world.
Different nationalities, different skin colors, and vastly different languages, but the joy in their hearts was completely consistent.
The great temperature drop of this day will surely be etched in history.
The international political landscape might even undergo a major reshuffle.
Environmental issues will inevitably attract greater attention from the international community.
Being prepared for danger in times of peace will also become a new topic for politicians and academics in various countries.
S.H.I.E.L.D.
Nick Fury, dressed in a black leather jacket, looked at the Sun above his head, his single eye growing deeper.
Perhaps 99.99% of the people in the world did not know what this sudden great temperature drop was about, but Nick Fury knew perfectly well.
The Frost Giants could really plunge Earth into an Ice Age…
For Nick Fury yesterday, this was simply unimaginable.
Nick Fury sighed. Compared to those aliens, Earth was truly as fragile as an infant!
Although no definite news had yet returned, Nick Fury's heart felt much lighter.
Earth's temperature was recovering, so it seemed the Frost Giants were out of this divine war.
Who was the ultimate victor?
Fire Giants, Dark Elves, or Asgard?
Nick Fury's thoughts raced, his eyes flickering uncertainly, constantly toying with the pager in his hand!
Kamar-Taj
Ancient One returned to her small courtyard, sat down quietly, and as usual, brewed a pot of clear tea, slowly sipping it.
Seeing her master in such a posture, how could everyone not know that Earth's true crisis was over?
Inside the courtyard, the shadows of mages diligently practicing spells appeared once again.
Fulfilling and peaceful!
Teahouse
Ancient One sometimes shook her head, sometimes smiled.
In a blink of an eye, Rimuru had once again caused a stir in Asgard, even devouring the Eternal Flame and the Casket of Ancient Winters.
Rimuru was strong, but she was also too much of a troublemaker!
Ancient One's physical state might still be young and healthy, but her mental state was truly that of an old person who had experienced much hardship.
To be honest, she was now somewhat intimidated by this disciple, Rimuru!
Whenever there was any slight disturbance on Earth, Ancient One's first thought was—had Rimuru gone and caused trouble again?!
The Sorcerer Supreme had generations of responsibility to guard the Time Stone, and with Rimuru's current strength, guarding the Stone was no longer a great difficulty.
But Ancient One was just afraid!
She was afraid that if she gave the Time Stone to Rimuru, it would be eaten by Rimuru like a candy!
What to do if a disciple is too much of an eater?
It's funny to think about; in the past, who would worry about a Cosmic Cube being eaten?
