Chapter 75: Battle on ice, 965 CE
As the frost giants were approaching us, walking on the thick ice that they just made, the other Eternals came to support me, as they were done with evacuating.
“Who are they?” questioned Kingo beside me. “I never see blue skinned humans! Is it aliens?”
“Frost giants.” answered Ajak. “From Jotunheim. A planet.”
“So Aliens?”
“You could say that.” I answered, making Kingo confused.
“So, we fight?” Gil asked again. “I mean, they are not deviants.”
“But they are a threat to earth.” refuted Ajak. “So yes, we fight.”
Gil smiled as he conjured his exoskeleton arms, making a loud motor sound as he slammed it against one another. “This’ll be fun.”
I looked towards Thena, who seemed to have a wide smile on her face. “You okay?”
“I’m more than okay, love.” she smirked as she summoned her shield and spear, her favourite weapon. “I haven’t felt this excited in a long time~”
I chuckled. “Just making sure…”
I looked at the frost giants in front of me, and I conjured my magic from the Limbo ring. My eyes are starting to glow blue, overlapping with gold, and slowly but surely, my body is covered with Eldritch armour, as if it was an ironman nanosuit.
“Man, I didn’t know you could do that!” exclaimed Kingo with envy. “After this, you gotta teach me how to do it.”
“I’m afraid that’s impossible, Kingo.” I smirked. “You’re just not good enough.”
Kingo then scoffed. “Asshole…”
The armour then covered my head, making it a full body armour. I pointed at the frost giants in front of me, and the blue glow turned gold.
“Get em boys.” I announced excitedly.
The thousands of constructs suddenly rushed towards the army of frost giants, as if a horde of monsters found their target.
The leader of the frost giants frowned again, and he opened the casket that he brought, summoning the strong icy wind again, freezing a lot of my constructs.
“Get behind me!” I shouted to the others. Ikaris didn’t listen, instead, he flew above us, which was fine I guess. I summoned another mirror-like shield to protect us from the casket, and the wind didn’t hit us.
“Let me get him.” said Thena suddenly. She rushed towards the shield, intending to jump. I honestly was a bit afraid that she might get hurt, but she is Thena, the goddess of war, so instead, I made her a platform, so she could jump higher, avoiding the icy wind.
She leaped across the icy field, and launched herself to the leader of the Frost Giants. The leader saw her, and quickly dodged. When she landed, the ice below her cracked, almost splitting the frozen river in half. She smirked devilishly at the leader, and quickly change weapons in the form of a double axe.
She wanted to split the leader in half, but the leader dodged it, at the cost of the casket. The casket was thrown away, erasing the main threat.
“Right boys, let’s start the slaughter,” I said with a smirk. “We’re killing them, right?”
“Well, they are not humans.” commented Gil. “So we’re allowed right.”
Ajak shook her head in amusement. “Do whatever you want.”
Gil and I shared a look, before grinning like madmen. Me and Gil then dashed towards the frost giants, and started slaughtering them one by one.
I saw Smaug in his full glory, burning the frost giants to the crips while drowning them as the river melted because of his breath.
Asterion was being Asterion.
I don’t know where Mephia is, but I’m sure she’s doing some indecent stuff.
While Idemnon was using his bow, shooting from afar.
I ran towards Thena, who was fighting the leader of the frost giants fiercely.
She uses her shield to protect herself from the frost giants conjured ice, but then, I kicked him from the side, throwing him away from my Thena.
She saw me, and immediately grumbled. “I had him.”
“Sure you do.” I chuckled. “Be careful, I don’t want you to get hurt.”
I dashed towards the other frost giants, and started slaughtering with my bident.
As one by one frost giants were killed, the bodies were stacked around me, making a corpse barrier. The frost giants were now surrounding me, smiling as if thinking he had me.
They were wrong.
I smiled, and my eyes glowed golden. The corpses around me started to rot, and were replaced by frost giant constructs, which terrified the living frost giants.
I checked what I had gotten, and I made an ice sword from a frost giants’ possession.
“Neat.” I shrugged.
But then, a problem happened.
Countless voices were starting to appear in my head, the voices of the frost giants, giving me greetings and giving me their opinions.
It was unbearable for a bit. I simply shouted. “Shut up!” my voice boomed through the battlefield, and the voices shut up for now.
“That’s going to be a problem…” I murmured. I decided to ignore it for later, and continued slaughtering smurfs.

[Sersi’s POV]
I didn’t come to the battlefield, Ajak tasked me to protect the humans along with Druig. We were in a barn, we locked the door, and the humans were hiding there in fear as the battle went on outside.
I touched the barn, and I transmuted it into strong metal, so the giants won’t be able to open it so easily.
“What the hell is happening outside?” Druig commented, leaning against the wall.
“I- I don’t know. It suddenly turned cold, and these giant–”
Before I finished my sentence, a bang came from the metal door, frightening the humans.
Druig frowned as he grabbed a sword from nearby. “Get behind me, Sersi.”
“Druig, what are you doing?”
“Make a hole from the back and run away if the door is breached, I’ll hold it off.”
“What? No, you don’t have any comba-”
“So are you.” scoffed Druig. “Just do as I say.”
I was quite baffled, and nodded weakly. I walked towards the humans, instructing them to follow me if the door was breached.
And so, as the door was slowly being torn open, I prepared myself to rescue the humans.
The door was being bent, and slowly but surely it opened, revealing a group of frost giants, smiling widely at us.
I started to transmute the wall into air, making a hole towards it. Druig was expertly attacking the giants with just an iron sword, but I know he’s not going to last, I need to ask help from the others.
But then, I heard a huge explosion behind the frost giants, as blinding lights covered my eyes.
Once the blinding lights subsided, I saw an army of men… dressed in all gold and had horns as helmets. And in front, an old man, equipped with a spear, smiling at us.
“You kept them busy,” said the old man. “And we thank you, but now, it is our turn.”
He raised his spear, pointed at the army of frost giants in front of him. “Asgardians! Charge!”
The army behind him roared in unison, a battle cry echoed through the sky. “For the All-Father!”
