After the death of Malekith,
The entire dark elf clan has been completely wiped out.
After all, this race had very few survivors to begin with, and when Fang Mo and Malekith fought a fierce battle, the aftermath of their release was powerful enough to kill all these miscellaneous troops.
However, Loki was not satisfied with this result. He still stubbornly wanted to freeze Vanaheim.
But as soon as he picked up the Casket of Ancient Winters the thing suddenly exploded.
Yes, it exploded.
This thing is said to be the treasure passed down by the ancestor of the giants, Ymir. Inside the box is sealed something called the "Winter of Fimbulvetr," with thousands of deadly cold breaths. In theory, it could indeed freeze an entire planet.
But no matter how powerful this thing was, it definitely couldn't compare to the Infinity Stones.
Previously, after Loki was blasted by the Cursed Warrior, the Casket of Ancient Winters fell to the ground. Shortly after, Fang Mo and Malekith staged a spectacular battle. This was not just trash talk; when their close combat escalated, they even took up the Infinity Stones to clash with energy.
The Casket of Ancient Winters fell not far away at that time.
These successive energy shocks caused numerous cracks in the shell that sealed the cold energy.
As soon as Loki picked it up, the thing couldn't hold up and erupted instantly. The intense cold that was enough to freeze everything soared into the sky, even Loki, who was a frost giant himself, couldn't withstand it and instantly turned into a block of ice.
Fang Mo wasn't particularly afraid of this cold surge.
After all, he had the Ring of Arcana, which could immunize him from the effects of cold and fire.
But what surprised Fang Mo was that these bursts of extreme cold energy didn't spread to the entire Vanaheim. Instead, they actively converged towards him.
This was getting a bit strange.
Even Fang Mo himself couldn't understand what was happening.
However, before long, these extreme cold energies rushed into the Ring of Arcana.
And the Ring of Arcana automatically switched modes, becoming the Zero Mode, greedily devouring the surrounding ancient winter breath.
"This..."
Honestly, even Fang Mo was stunned when he saw this scene.
He had never thought that the Ring of Arcana could absorb external items to strengthen itself.
The Void Ring had performed a similar operation, like absorbing the Ender's hand. But that thing was originally brought out from the Minecraft world.
But then Fang Mo thought again, after the Enderman's hand was materialized, it was no longer really related to the Minecraft world. It had already been distorted by the laws of the world into a truly existing item. So, the Void Ring should also have absorbed items from the real world, theoretically not much different from what the Ring of Arcana was doing now.
Anyway, soon enough, the power of the winter burst from the ancient casket was completely absorbed by the Ring of Arcana.
Fang Mo looked down at the Ring of Arcana in his hand.
Now it was in Zero Mode, and the gems embedded in it were also a translucent ice-blue. Inside, there seemed to be endless ice and snow stirring.
Fang Mo slightly bent down and pressed it to the ground.
The fierce cold burst forth, just like the Casket of Ancient Winters a moment ago. It quickly expanded towards the whole of Vanaheim.
But it only froze a small part of the planet before Fang Mo gave up testing.
It seemed that the description of the Casket of Ancient Winters was indeed true. The Frost Giants had used this thing to freeze an entire planet before. If Fang Mo wanted to, he could turn Vanaheim into an ice age.
But then again...
The Ring of Arcana originally had this ability.
It was just that after absorbing the ancient Winter Coffin, the strength of the Zero Mode of the Ring of Arcana did increase significantly.
If previously it would take Fang Mo a month to freeze an entire planet, now he could do it in just a few days. That could be considered efficient.
But for Fang Mo, freezing Vanaheim was completely useless.
Rather than spending three days casting spells here, he might as well go back to Asgard and enjoy himself.
However, after realizing that the Ring of Arcana could absorb the Casket of Ancient Winters, Fang Mo's mind was filled with many new inspirations. Like trying to feed the Ring of Arcana a Blaze Rod, Snow Golems, compost, a bucket of lava, and so on.
And if those didn't work, there were also items from mods.
In the mod "Thermal Expansion," two new fluids were added to the game: "Pyrotheum" and "Cryotheum."
For now, Fang Mo hadn't figured out their crafting recipes yet. But when he did, he could materialize these two things using the Ring of Arcana. By then, he might be able to use them to enhance the power of the Ring of Arcana.
Thinking about this, Fang Mo didn't want to stay in Vanaheim any longer.
So, he directly picked up the unconscious Thor and the frozen Loki, and used a Space Stone to open a portal to return to Asgard.
Actually, as a father, Odin had known about Thor's plan a long time ago. However, with Fang Mo keeping an eye on them, he was confident that these two children wouldn't encounter any major accidents. At most, they would get hurt a bit, so he didn't pay much attention.
But even so, the mages responsible for healing in the divine realm had been waiting for a long time.
When Fang Mo returned with the two, a group of mages swarmed over and took the two princes away for treatment. Fang Mo was left with nothing to do, so he went to the palace to find Frigga.
"You're back?"
Seeing Fang Mo enter the room, Frigga was a bit surprised. "Did you resolve the battle so quickly?"
"After all, I have a background in playing and trash talking. I don't have much awe for the Dark Elves," Fang Mo shrugged and said, "No matter how powerful they are elsewhere, in my domain, they're just here to get beaten."
"Alright."
Frigga didn't usually pay much attention to Midgardian terms, so she didn't quite understand Fang Mo's words. "In any case, it's good that you're safe. Do you have the Aether Particles now?"
"Yes, that's also why I came to find you."
Fang Mo nodded and then took out the little vial he had prepared: "The Dark Elves modified this thing before. It has been in liquid form all along. Can you turn it back into a solid in Asgard?"
"Asgard knows very little about Aether Particles."
Frigga frowned upon hearing this. "I can only say that I'll try one and see, but I can't guarantee success."
"Trying is fine."
Fang Mo nodded and then handed the Aether Particles to Frigga: "Then I'll head back. When I was cursing... complaining about Vanaheim earlier, I accidentally got some sand in my mouth. I'll go take a bath. If there's anything important, just send someone to inform me."
"You better do it quickly."
Frigga smiled, "With Thor's personality, after he wakes up in a while, he'll probably want to hold a celebration feast again to celebrate his achievements."
