the lord of all monsters

Chapter 210 Black Hand
Civilization, in general, is moving forward.

That is to say, the later civilization must be more advanced and developed than hundreds or thousands of years ago.

This trend can also be seen in the development of human civilization.

But this is not absolute, there will be differences in some cases.

On the contrary, the civilization of the later generations is more backward than the civilization of the previous generation, that is, there is a "civilization fault".

That is, when a civilization has a devastating disaster, the integrity of a civilization is destroyed on a large scale, and this damage exceeds the civilization's self-healing ability, and there may be a civilization fault.

Analogy to humans:
That is, if one day, all human beings over the age of ten die suddenly, this kind of civilization fault will appear.

There are still human beings left, with food that can sustain them, so that they will not starve to death and can continue to survive.

But although human beings still have a language, there are a lot of characters that no one can understand. Although there are still mobile phones, computers and other machines left, people no longer know how to make them.

Even if electricity and heating facilities gradually fail, but no one can use them or repair them, then the entire human race will degenerate into a primitive society, or even die out.

If you are lucky, then maybe human beings will be able to slowly recover their previous technology and regain the glory of the year through recording devices such as books.

But that is already a different human civilization.

Language, scientific thinking, and forms of civilization have all changed drastically.

This is the case in Asgard.

In Hela's narrative, Asgard at that time was such a very deformed society.

At that time, Asgard had many beautiful and powerful high-tech weapons and machinery, but they could only be used. No one knew how they worked, nor could they repair them.

Once the weapon is used up, it is gone. If a part is broken, it is all over.

Some magical weapons survive to this day, those that are called artifacts.

They are powerful but cannot be replicated.

Because people nowadays can't understand how they are manufactured and what kind of technology is used.

Some of them survive to this day, kept in Odin's treasury.

There are many things that are forgotten even how to use them. They can only be cherished as a collection, and they can neither be used nor dared to flow out.

Others exhibited erratic properties, caused some harm, and were therefore sealed.

To make an analogy:

It's like a monkey who picked up a pistol and accidentally pulled the trigger to kill a deer, but the monkey didn't understand the principle and thought that as long as he pulled the trigger, the deer would die. He turned the gun on himself.

In addition to these creations, there were many powerful people in Asgard at that time.

Not only did they form a serious gap with the new Asgardians in terms of age, but they were also unable to leave offspring. It seems that some kind of reproductive isolation has been formed between the two.

Moreover, many magic and divine techniques of the previous generation could not be learned by later generations, so they were gradually lost.

Although these powerhouses are powerful and have a long lifespan, they can only gradually die out over a long period of time, and they have completely disappeared today.

Moreover, during the course of the war, Hela also discovered that some enemies would deliberately target these strong men and organize attacks against them.

Hela knew it, and Odin knew it too, but there was nothing they could do.

At that time, Asgard was precarious, and it could only be maintained by the surviving strong men.

Of course, it is not entirely correct to say that they have completely disappeared.

Hela's original intention for establishing the Legion of the Dead was to preserve these powerful fighters, and many of them also joined the Legion of the Dead.

Speaking of this, Zhang Yu already understood why Odin had to seal Hela and the Legion of the Dead together, even if he himself had to pay a huge price.

If you draw a timeline, you will find out.

After the Great War, the gods of the earth left, and the plan for these ancient relics that remained has already begun.

First, the rise of the dark elves, not only to become the hegemon of the universe, but also to return the universe to the dark age, such a perverse action, a big battle is naturally inevitable.

This battle not only nearly wiped out the dark elves, but also caused a large number of these fires that survived from ancient times to die out, causing an irreparable gap in civilization.

Then Bohr died, surrounded by powerful enemies, Odin had no choice but to send these remaining ancient warriors and ancient consumables to the battlefield.

At the time of life and death, how can I care about the future.

At the same time, the earth has also encountered many invasion wars. After the battles, the old heavenly master is the last survivor.

Maybe he was too weak back then, maybe he was too young back then, anyway he survived...

When these remnants of the ancient era died out and the universe gradually restored peace, then "Hella" became the last problem Odin had to deal with.

At that time, in order to meet the needs of the war, the transformation of Hela was too thorough, and it became a trouble in the peaceful era.

Especially since it involves the transformation of the soul, Hela has no empathy for the demise of life, and is too fanatical about war.

More importantly, the souls of those ancient warriors in the Legion of the Dead.

At that time, Odin also realized that in the universe, there seems to be a black hand behind the scenes who is planning all this. If he can have this ability, it is definitely not comparable to ordinary father-level gods.

If his goal was to destroy all the ancient warriors, would those warriors with souls be counted as destroyed?
If not, will he continue to attack Asgard?
Odin didn't dare to gamble, the previous background has been wiped out at this time, and the current Asgard's strength has not increased but decreased, and there is no spare power to fight an all-out war.

It was also at this time that Odin's strategy gradually tended to be conservative.

If one wanted to turn to a defensive strategy, then Hela, who was born almost entirely for war, seemed a bit out of date.

Therefore, sealing Hela is the best strategy.

Odin finally sealed Hela and all the legions of the dead in Helheim at the cost of "completely annihilating" the Valkyrie troops until now.

If you think about Odin's idea, you will find it very interesting.

In the end, he did not choose the safest and most permanent way to kill Hela, but preferred to maintain the seal at the cost of his life.

The duration of this seal is his life.

This seal is not only a test for his later successors to the throne, but only by defeating Hela and her army of the dead can he be qualified to inherit the throne of Asgard.

But at the same time, it was also the salvation he owed Hela.

He would rather consume his life than Hela to live with resentment towards him.

If the future monarchs are embarrassed, then Hela can be crowned king.
