A lot of people died, but he was still the MVP.
Thor felt that this battle was so damn frustrating, as if he had come here only to get killed and beaten, and got no honor at all... After returning, he couldn't brag about it even if he wanted to.
The Asgardians value honor the most. After a battle, how many enemies you killed and how much merit you made are all materials for bragging! This is the most important part of the life of the Asgardians. They like to drink, but you can't just drink it all, you have to have something to drink with it.
Bragging is the best way to go with wine!
This stuff is based on science!
Alcohol has a certain effect on the human nervous system, which will cause certain changes in people's thinking and behavior. When people drink too much, the function of the cerebral cortex will be inhibited, while the more primitive brain areas will be more active. This makes people more impulsive and emotional after drinking, and their thinking will become less clear. Secondly, drinking will reduce people's self-awareness and make their self-evaluation less accurate. Therefore, when drinking, people tend to exaggerate and exaggerate their abilities and experiences in order to improve their self-confidence and self-esteem. In addition, the social nature of drinking is also an important reason for bragging. During the drinking process, people tend to get together with friends to communicate and interact. In this case, people will naturally want to show themselves and make others have a good impression on themselves. Therefore, bragging has also become a social behavior, making people more handy in social occasions. In short, drinking too much will cause certain changes in people's thinking and behavior, and will also reduce people's self-awareness and make their self-evaluation less accurate. In this case, people tend to brag to improve their self-confidence and self-esteem.
Wine is a magical drink that can dig out true emotions. It is the drink that can best enhance the atmosphere of the wine table and dig out people's emotions. Many people become outspoken when they drink, and they will say everything that others like to hear and don't like to hear. After three glasses of wine, the usually quiet man will start to become cynical, and the dissatisfaction that is usually difficult to express will be expressed under the influence of alcohol. This is a typical loss of "speech control", speaking for the sake of speaking, venting for the sake of venting, and after three rounds of drinking, they start to tell everything. In the eyes of sober people, these people are just bragging.
People who like to talk freely at ordinary times will naturally not lose their appeal at the wine table. They are usually the focus, and they will be even more powerful at the wine table. But for people who are usually very quiet, this is very difficult. No one pays attention to them at ordinary times. If they don't show off at the wine table, then the ending that awaits them will be "no one will see them". At this time, under the influence of alcohol, they also have the desire to show off. No matter what, they just talk and chat. So what topics can attract people? Naturally, they are those shocking news, gossip, and strange things. If these examples are made into their own personal experiences, the effect will definitely be greatly improved. Then you will realize that he is bragging.
Most people at the table brag recklessly, bragging about how awesome they are, bragging about how awesome their friends, classmates, and relatives are, and then trying to crush others mentally. Since everyone else has started to perform, why should I just listen quietly? Anyway, no one will verify or expose it, so just brag and enjoy yourself first. In this way, as soon as they drink, men start bragging, one after another, it's really fun.
Alcohol is indeed a catalyst for emotions, it can accelerate the speed and degree of emotional catharsis. Some people drink and brag in order to overwhelm others mentally and let others know that they have terrible energy; some people drink and brag in order to get a momentary pleasure, to have fun and to vent; but there will always be a day when you sober up. For those who drank too much at the table with you, they may not remember your performance, but for those who have been sober all the time? I am afraid that you will become a laughing stock at other people's tables in the future.
For the Asgardians, drinking itself has a very strong social attribute!
Who drinks alone?
This is a common saying in Asgard... Although there is indeed someone who often drinks alone, that person is Odin... No problem. He has no friends.
When he was young, he was such a rotten person that it was hard for him to have any friends, not even any comrades. His comrades had either died in battle or had died of old age. He was truly a loner.
Except for Frigga, who can drink with him, Thor and Loki don't really like drinking with Odin. There's no way, Odin is not like an Asgardian in this regard, what does an Asgardian drink like.
It must be in a public place like a bar or a hall, with a large group of people together, and they don't drink in a formal manner, but from large cups and in big gulps.
The side dishes are also simple, meat! Lots of meat!
Vegetables are actually fruits to Asgardians. They can eat some, but they are not included in the main meals. They prefer meat.
Then there was the noise!
The more noisy, the better. Everyone fights, curses, and brags. In short, the more lively, the better.
In the end, everyone gets drunk together, and this is a perfect cocktail party.
As for Odin, he drank in silence, neither boasting nor making a scene, nor boasting.
Is this what it means to be an Asgardian?
Of course, bragging is not the main goal; the main purpose is to boast about one’s achievements!
For the Asgardians, honor on the battlefield is the most important honor in their lives, so they will try every means to show off their achievements!
The most cruel and popular one is Jingguan!
In ancient wars, the Jingguan, a remarkable invention, has always attracted much attention. Jingguan, built with the bodies of the losers of the war as the foundation, is a magnificent building, and its spectacular sight is breathtaking. In history, many generals such as Xiang Yu, Wang Mang, and Deng Ai have used the construction of Jingguan to show off their military exploits. Even Goguryeo, far away abroad, has imitated this move, but in the end, its Jingguan was destroyed under the military attack of Emperor Taizong of Tang. However, in addition to the Jingguan method, what other ways did the ancients use to show off their military exploits?
In ancient times, every general was eager to establish immortal military exploits, which contained countless sacrifices and glory. How to show these military exploits in a commemorative way became a common challenge faced by generals. For this reason, a horrifying military exploit invention - Jingguan, came into being.
Jingguan, a giant building built with the skeletons of the defeated side, was built entirely with the flesh and blood of enemy soldiers. In Erya, "the highest is Jing", and "guan" refers to a platform, so Jingguan is a high platform built with flesh and blood. This invention was recorded as early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. For example, after the Battle of Bi in the Jin-Chu contention, Pan Dang, a general of Chu, proposed to build Jingguan with the corpses of Jin soldiers, on the grounds that "defeating the enemy must be a lesson for future generations, so that they will not forget their military exploits." However, the King of Chu did not accept this proposal in the end. The comic strip of the Jin-Chu contention depicts the cruelty and glory of ancient wars. During the Warring States Period, the construction of Jingguan reached a new height. In the war of revenge against Qi by Yan, the Yan army won a great victory and Qi was almost destroyed. The Yan army then built many "skull platforms" in the territory, with the heads of Qi soldiers piled up into high platforms. These relics can still be found in Yi County, Hebei Province. It can be seen that the number of Qi soldiers and civilians who were killed and made into skull platforms at that time may be as high as hundreds of thousands.
However, it is interesting that although Jingguan is regarded as a symbol of militarism and inhumanity in Confucianism, Wang Mang still built Jingguan. According to the "Book of Han: Biography of Zhai Fangjin", after Wang Mang defeated Zhai Yi, exterminated his three clans and killed his descendants, he built a military seal with the bodies of the rebels Jingyu and others, which was six feet high and six feet wide, and erected a wooden tablet 16 feet high with the words "Where are the rebels and traitors Jingyu" written on it. This shows that Wang Mang's so-called self-discipline and restoration of rituals were conditional: he would only abide by the rituals for people and things that were beneficial to him; and for people and things that were not beneficial to him, he chose to deal with them in the way of Jingguan.
It can be seen that the ancient military commanders used Jingguan to show their military achievements, which was actually a kind of "art of death" that contained brutality, bloodiness, barbarity and terror. It is worth mentioning that this practice of piling up enemy corpses is not unique to the East, but also exists in the West. For example, in the Battle of Cannae, the Romans suffered a fatal blow, and the famous Carthaginian general Hannibal piled up the bodies of the Romans, which deeply shocked the Romans. However, in the memory of Westerners, the most terrifying thing is probably the Jingguan project of the Mongols. The Jingguan built by Tolui after he broke through various places in Khwarezm was unparalleled in its shocking degree.
The Asgardians used to do this often, and they destroyed many worlds. After all, Odin wiped out an entire race just by raping women.
So following Odin, they also often built Jingguan!
Unfortunately, with the development of the times, this method has gradually been abandoned.
Firstly, it is too barbaric. Except for a few psychopaths, no one likes to look at a pile of human heads. Secondly, it is unhygienic. So many heads piled together can easily breed bacteria.
Secondly, Odin believes in peace... There are only minor conflicts. In a war, at most a few thousand people are killed, and even fewer are killed. With such a small number of people, they can't even build a base for a Jingguan. What's the point of playing?
So all we can do is brag about our achievements!
Of course, this kind of boasting will eventually become irrelevant and nonsense.
I wish he was the best fighter in the universe.
But that was all after you got drunk. After all, everyone knew you were just bragging and no one would take it seriously.
But before you get drunk, you have to have something to say.
If you brag before you get drunk, everyone will look down on you!
Thor was very distressed. He knew he would be laughed at when he went back.
That's right, even if Thor is the king now, he will still be ridiculed when he returns because of his lack of military achievements.
Of course Odin would not be laughed at.
But Thor is not Odin after all. Odin's achievements do not need to be praised... the things he did were already exaggerated. To be honest, Thor's achievements are more than ten levels behind his father. He can make everyone sincerely admit that he is the king.
The main reason is that his great-grandfather was a king, his grandfather was a king, his father was a king, so he was naturally a king as well.
On this point, Thor's strong claim was unshakable. Everyone was used to someone from his family being king, and no one thought there was anything wrong with it... After all, the previous kings were so capable that everyone took it for granted that the king should be from their family.
But recognizing him as a king does not mean acknowledging his achievements.
The Asgardians are very stubborn about this.
Even when Odin came to power, he relied on his military achievements to convince everyone.
Thor is just a young man. It is true that he has defeated many enemies over the years, but compared with his father and grandfather, he is far behind.
There's no way, his parents set the threshold too high.
During this trip to the inner earth, Thor didn't just play a supporting role throughout the whole process, but he didn't make much contribution either.
Either he is being beaten, or he is on the way to be beaten.
What's more, there are only a few kittens left in his army... Most of them don't even have their bodies left... The snow demon's breath just now froze all the bodies into dregs...
What a big defeat!
However, the surviving Asgard warriors were very happy, after all, they survived!
This was an epic battle, even comparable to the exploits that Odin had led his predecessors to achieve. They did not have Thor's distress, they fought hard and finally survived. This was the best reward, they were warriors and did not need to be responsible for casualties.
This is their lifelong honor.
As for their dead comrades… they will be sad, but not too sad.
After all, death in battle is the fate of all warriors. Asgardians never cry for the death of their relatives and friends. On the contrary, they are very relieved because it is their honor. They do not evade their responsibilities and are extremely brave in dealing with the enemy. Death in battle only means the end for them. They believe that these warriors will return to their ancestors and be listed with them in the ancestral hall. They will loudly boast about their military exploits to all their ancestors and tell about the strength of the enemies they face!
Asgardians don't like to portray their enemies as clowns or fools!
To belittle the enemy is to belittle yourself.
If your enemies are clowns and idiots, and they can put you in a tough fight and even kill you, then who are you?
An idiot who is even dumber than an idiot?
Therefore, Asgard always tries to be as objective as possible in its descriptions of its enemies... sometimes even too 'objective', and later generations who see it feel that their ancestors were really awesome, as they could even defeat such enemies.
Gu Yi finally came back at this time.
She didn't look good.
The consumption is too great.
There is no way, it is really not easy to control such a huge monster. Especially when there is no way to rely on the power of the great guardian.
There was no way. The two nodes of the Great Guardian were destroyed and they were invaded by another dimension. They had no energy left to help Ancient One.
Plus, Gu Yi’s condition wasn’t good either.
