Chapter: 108
-Fenrir-
At the end of the rainbow bridge located at the edge of Asgard, a large undead wolf lay and awaited the return of his mistress. She had used the Bifrost to venture to Muspelheim but should be back soon enough. Fenrir stood guard over the Bifrost. He had to eat his mistress's disloyal executioner after the man tried to turn on her, just like everyone else.
Fenrir was glad his mistress had finally returned to Asgard after so long. He felt like he had slept for eons without her. Now she was back, though! Together, he and his mistress could go on to wage more wars across the realms, and he could once again devour the creatures who refused to bow to her to his heart's content.
Although he no longer had a working heart...
His mistress's evil father had killed him and buried his corpse in the deepest pits of Asgard along with his mistress's army. Thankfully for Fenrir, his mistress was able to resurrect him and her entire army before she went on to seek retribution against the people who had turned on them all.
Fenrir licked his lips at the recent memory. He might be undead now, but people still tasted delicious! Especially all those Asgardians that his mistress let him devour recently after they refused to bow to her.
His stomach growled. After being resurrected, he was always hungry for some reason. He was sad now that there was no one left to eat. Soon, however, his mistress would begin her conquest of the stars and he knew he'd be able to eat as many sentients as he wanted!
Fenrir's ears twitched, and he opened his eyes when he heard something strange. He then let out a vicious growl. At the end of the Rainbow Bridge, a dark purple hole appeared. It started off small, but then it continued to grow larger until it was big enough for a person to pass through. And then, three people did so as they stepped out of the portal. Fenrir stood up and prepared to attack the intruders.
…
"Woah! That is a big doggie…and it's a zombie. Awesome…" Andrea said sarcastically as we stepped out of the portal to Asgard.
I wasn't sure what we'd find upon arriving here, but it certainly wasn't an undead Fenrir glaring down at the three of us ready to pounce.
"Hi there. Nice doggie?" I called out to the zombie wolf. In response it bared its rotted fangs at us and growled as it stepped forward.
"It's not a nice doggie…" Andrea sighed. "I think we now know why Asgard never sent help to us also. I can't believe they had a zombie outbreak here as well." She then took a few steps backwards and ducked behind Sif and I. Andrea's armor was non-functional after she'd pushed it so hard. Hence she was just wearing a jacket and some jeans.
It was fine though. With my recent power up, I figured Sif and I could protect her from anything Asgard threw at us. I wasn't expecting a giant wolf zombie though.
[Quest Issued! Kill Fen–Oh that was fast.]
I lowered my hand and admired the sight in front of me. Damn, I am powerful now!
[You've been awarded with Fenrir's Fangs. A pair of giant fangs stronger than even vibranium and able to pierce through almost anything.]
Oh, that wasn't bad. Maybe I could give them to Azazel and see if he could make a new gear out of them.
I was able to summon a [Lightspear] and throw it faster than the wolf could react. Before it could even charge us, my spear had already impaled itself into its brainstem. The lumbering corpse toppled off the side of the bride and fell into the perpetual waterfall below.
"That was Fenrir? The World-Eating Beast?" Sif asked with a frown. She walked over to the side of the bridge and peered downwards. "I expected more." She said with disappointment. She shrugged before walking back towards us.
I wrapped my arm around her when she got close. "This dimension's Asgardians seem to be overall weaker than our own. At least from before planet Asgard blew up
"Wait? Was Asgard a planet?" Andrea asked as she peered off into the distance. "Thor always said it was just a city."
"Yeah, it's a whole thing. In our dimension Odin picked a fight with a bunch of Celestials, AKA Space Gods, and won–but Asgard was destroyed in the process and most of the Asgardians and Gods lost tons of power because they were intrinsically tied to Asgard." I explained.
Sif frowned. "And then our king went and wiped all of our minds of such a battle ever happening. We were made to forget about the true Asgard and how powerful we used to be. I am thankful to Layla for exposing the truth and granting me more power. Even now, I can feel myself getting slightly stronger every day." Sif said. Her golden eyes momentarily glowed orange. She held up her hand, and to my surprise, she manifested a small fireball before snuffing it out.
"What was that?" Andrea asked while staring at Sif.
"That was the Extremis formula. It was made by Aldrich Killian." I explained.
Andrea put her hand to her chin. "Killian? Hmm, Aldrich Killian… I feel like that name is familiar but I'm drawing a blank." She finished with a shrug. She never made it to the events of Iron Man, or Iron Woman, three before the outbreak. I don't even know if those events would have played out the same because Andrea was dating Bruce.
[Imagine Aldrich Killian trying to kidnap the Hulk…]
I laughed. He would have gotten destroyed way before Andrea showed up to save-the-day.
I turned my attention back to Asgard across from us all. With my newly improved senses, I couldn't detect a single sign of life anywhere. I was feeling magic though. The same magic. There were thousands of things moving through the city all bearing the same magical signature. Actually, Fenrir also bore the same magical signature now that I thought about it. These aren't the same type of zombies that we had faced on Earth. This was necromancy.
Could it have been Hela? Would she have really killed all of her own people though?
[The crazy MCU version of her was going to kill them all. This dimension's Hela could be very similar–if it was her. It's odd she's not here though.]
That was odd, but it could work out in our favor for now. A battle between us could wreck the place utterly and I want to check it out before then.
