Moreover, not only the prehistoric Avengers but also the tribes of Wakanda had joined the war. Blaine even spotted a group of troops wearing strange armor and wielding tridents. If his guess was correct, they were from the Kingdom of Atlantis. Without a doubt, there were many other races present that Blaine didn't recognize.
After all, Blaine's memories only extended to the Marvel universe and the previous "eighty or niy" worlds he had experienced. As for these prehistoric memories, he had long since forgotten them completely.
Focusing on the battlefield, Blaine felt his blood boil with excitement. He memorized every strike of the prehistoric Bounty Hunter, and whenever that body was injured, Blaine felt a sharp pang in his own heart.
This battle was truly apocalyptic—darkness swallowing the sky, heaven and earth on the verge of collapse. It was only later that Blaine realized the prehistoric Bounty Hunters were facing more than one enemy, and yet they still hadn't fallen behind. However, no matter how fierce they were, two fists could not match four hands, and they soon began to fall into a disadvantage.
If even the Bounty Hunters were nearing death, there was no need to mention the others. The members of the prehistoric Avengers had already endured long years of decline; not only had their power diminished greatly, but their abilities were no longer what they once were.
Thinking about it, a single Celestial was already enough to overwhelm the prehistoric Avengers. Although the Bounty Hunters had grown stronger through the baptism of time and history, the others simply couldn't keep up.
With so many Celestials involved, it was only a matter of time before they were completely crushed.
Once the main forces fell, the remaining Wakandan tribes, Atlantean armies, and others were defeated one after another, suffering catastrophic losses. Blaine even wondered whether Atlantis's gradual decline and eventual disappearance had begun with this very battle.
By the end of the war, the entire Arctic ice and snow plateau seemed to be dyed red with blood. The color of the world had changed—blood flowed like rivers, slaughter spread everywhere. This was no longer a battle; it was a one-sided massacre.
Not to mention the ordinary soldiers—even the prehistoric Avengers suffered devastating casualties. Agamotto had fallen into a pool of blood at some point. Having already burned his lifespan to draw the sealing magic circle, he was clearly powerless after enduring this battle, making him the first of the prehistoric Avengers to fall.
Not only Agamotto—Star had lost an arm. As for Iron Fist, her body had been torn apart by overwhelming energy. Whether the dragon blood within her could revive her was unknown. Even if she were resurrected, Blaine feared that the Earth itself might no longer exist by then.
As for the others, Blaine hadn't seen Ghost Rider from the beginning. Perhaps he was fighting somewhere out of sight. In any case, Blaine believed he would never flee from a battle that concerned the survival of the Earth.
Odin and Phoenix were currently fighting a Celestial together, barely holding a stalemate. That made sense—after all, even a God-Father–level being like Odin might not be able to contend with the Celestials at his peak.
Moreover, Blaine noticed that one of Odin's eyes—the right one—was nothing but a dark, empty socket, seemingly blind.
As for Odin's right eye, Blaine knew some of its secrets. It definitely wasn't something the Celestial had done just now. Before the battle even began—back in the previous time and space—Odin had already been wearing a blindfold over that eye.
However, this eye seems to have been blinded by Odin himself. As for why, that begins with another story.
In the Marvel universe, there are still many hidden secrets and rare treasures. For example, there exists such a mysterious World Tree.
Since it is the World Tree, its immensity is naturally beyond imagination. The roots of this tree have even extended to the "Titan Kingdom." As for this Titan Kingdom, Blaine doesn't know exactly where it is. In short, the universe is vast, and the places that still need to be explored are far from few.
What matters now is not the World Tree itself, but rather that beneath its roots lies a mysterious spring containing "wisdom," also known as the Fountain of Wisdom.
Those tasked with guarding the Fountain of Wisdom are the people of the Kingdom of Titan.
Faced with such a mysterious Fountain of Wisdom, Odin, as the King of the Nine Realms, naturally wanted to bring this "wisdom" back to the realms under his rule and use it for the benefit of all beings in the universe.
However, no matter what, the Fountain of Wisdom was a rare treasure. Not to mention that it was guarded, so it went without saying that Odin's wish would not be fulfilled so easily.
Originally, Odin intended to drink from the Fountain of Wisdom in secret, but he was discovered and stopped by the guardians of the Kingdom of Titan.
The guardian told him that if he wanted to drink the water of the Fountain of Wisdom, he would have to pay a price in blood.
No one knows where the guardian of the Titan Kingdom picked up such a feudal superstition, but he actually told Odin that the price of the Fountain of Wisdom was his sharp right eye.
Odin, who was not one to hesitate, reached up and gouged out his own right eye without a word for the sake of the Fountain of Wisdom. As a result, Odin lost one eye forever, but at the same time gained the wisdom of the Fountain.
(In fact, the mysterious wisdom beneath the World Tree should be a spell known as the Runes. As long as this spell is engraved on wood, stone, metal, or any material, it can grant immense power. Although Odin lost his right eye, he obtained this mysterious strength. Perhaps this is why, even with gray hair, he is still able to fight against the Celestial gods.)
Originally, Blaine didn't believe this fairy tale. After all, it was just a legend, and no one knew whether it was true or not. Even Blaine, who had traveled through time, was unwilling to believe it.
But now, it seems that this legend is not only real, but has also been verified and realized. After returning, Blaine felt it would be absolutely necessary to search for this World Tree.
From Odin's perspective, after blinding one eye, his strength increased dramatically. Thor also awakened his own power after losing an eye. However, was power gained through self-inflicted harm really a good thing?
When Blaine turned his gaze back to the battlefield, the battle was already nearing its end.
The human alliance had suffered devastating casualties. Especially those armies without superpowers, relying only on equipment, had taken enormous losses and were nearly wiped out.
Who would have thought that these troops and tribes, massacred like dogs, had once been elite forces beyond comparison in any nation—units that could easily destroy an entire country on their own.
