I, The Dragon Overlord - Chapter 609: The Man with His Own BGM

When they saw the rainbow that pierced the heavens and the thunderous roar that resounded around the globe, a single name flashed through everyone’s minds: Thor, the God of Thunder!

This was probably the most well-known Norse God in the world.

Thanks to the Marvel franchise, the names Thor and Loki were known worldwide. Especially among girls, Thor, as portrayed by Chris Hemsworth, was a famous name and admired by many.

Due to the selection of actors by Marvel, even a character like Loki, who was essentially a villain in both Norse mythology and the movies, had a huge fan following. This highlighted how modern Earthlings tended to focus on appearances rather than deeper character traits.

While many girls might not be familiar with various Norse gods and their stories, they knew the name Thor, the God of Thunder of the Aesir.

“Ahhhhhhh, is it Thor? Has Thor come to Earth from Asgard? My Prince Charming!”

“Sisters, I don’t care about anything else, I just want to worship Thor!”

“I wonder if the real Thor looks as handsome as Chris Hemsworth.”

“He must be even more handsome than Hemsworth, regardless of how deep Hemsworth’s portrayal goes, it’s still acting.”

Regardless of their nationality, any girl even slightly capable of appreciating masculine aesthetics was now excitedly discussing the imminent arrival of the god. The presence of the Rainbow Bridge and the thunder practically confirmed that it was indeed Thor arriving; it couldn’t be any other god.

Little did they know that Chris Hemsworth, the Hollywood actor who played Thor, was shivering at home in Australia, not out of excitement, but out of fear.

To portray the image of Thor accurately, the actor had to study both the Marvel comics’ version of Thor and the Thor of Norse mythology. He knew how terrifying the god representing “Thursday,” controlling thunder, strength, storms, war, and prosperity, could be.

Thor was the mightiest warrior among the Aesir, tasked with protecting Asgard. Most of the gods in Norse mythology were rather brutal, similar to those in Celtic mythology, and those who worshiped these gods often had a more barbaric civilization.

Who knew if such a cruel god would take offense to someone impersonating him?

“But the Aesir are quite audacious. In the past, with so many gods appearing, none of them appeared in such a grand and extravagant manner as this.”

“Indeed, even a supreme god like Christ, when making an appearance, is quite understated yet rich in meaning.”

“The Aesir, in the past, were the gods of the Nordic barbarians and even the beliefs of Viking pirates. Do you think gods worshiped by such people would be low-key? They are all about being as extravagant as possible.”

“……”

People don’t know why these newly introduced gods were so extravagant, but the main reason was that Louie’s power had been growing. Initially, he was only a demigod and couldn’t cause much commotion. So during the Tokyo incident, Louis created characters like the Deep Ones and the old immortal with demigod-level powers to make a scene.”

During that time, Louie used a lot of illusions and deception. He even used legendary magic to replace his powers.

But as Louis’s strength grew, especially now that he had become a mid-tier god, he didn’t mind splurging some more for dramatic effect. It’s not like he’s actually fighting real gods, so the expenditure of divine energy is minimal.

Like the thunderstorm currently covering the entire Earth, it may seem grand, and the lightning and thunder are real, but in reality, such thunder and lightning have no effect on real gods. They’re just meant to intimidate mortals, so the actual divine energy consumption is very low.

Those genuine godly techniques capable of harming real gods are not as flashy. They are usually simple. For instance, Louie’s Divine Thrust – to a mortal, it’s just a regular thrust, but to a real god, it’s a terrifying strike capable of slaying gods.

The appearance of the Thunder God has made things easier for the entire human race. People even had the time to discuss it online. Regardless, the situation in Antarctica is quite precarious. Who knew what would happen next, after all? If the Fire Giant Surtur realized that he couldn’t beat Odin, he might decide to raise his magic sword and set the world on fire again. That would be disastrous for modern human civilization.

Now, with the arrival of Thor, the situation has suddenly become clearer. A king among the gods, together with the mightiest warrior of the Aesir, facing what seems to be a relatively weak Surtur, victory undoubtedly seems to belong to Asgard.

Not only ordinary people but even the heads of state convening in the United Nations shared this sentiment. No matter how tempestuous the Aesir gods might be in mythology, they ultimately represent the forces of good and are fighting to protect the world. Any sane person knew which god to support.

As the people of the world harbored various thoughts, and with many admirers eagerly anticipating, the Rainbow Bridge, which spanned the entire Earth, finally contracted. Subsequently, much like Odin’s previous appearance, the influence of Asgard once again subtly manifested itself in front of humanity. And within the door-like structure formed by the Rainbow Bridge, a robust god emerged.

This was a giant, much like Odin, towering at ten meters in height. He stood upon a chariot, pulled by two goats. These goats’ hooves tread through the void, causing thunderous roars with every step, shattering mountains and creating massive sea waves.

Thor, the Thunder God, possesses long red hair and a braided beard. His gaze was exceedingly fierce and intense. His eye sockets burned with a combination of lightning and fire. And he was clad in simple battle attire with a massive hammer in his hand.

This hammer wasn’t the dainty, compact one from Marvel movies but far larger. It was wreathed in both lightning and sparks, shining much like the top-tier weapons in video games.

……

“Wow! He’s so cool; Thor is incredibly handsome!”

“He embodies the image of the perfect warrior uncle, completely different from Uncle Hai!”

“I don’t know why, but when I see Thor, I feel like I’m getting all excited; he exudes a strong masculine aura!”

“It’s like he’s the living embodiment of the words ‘warrior’ and ‘man’!”

“……”

Thor was an exceptionally formidable god. He differed greatly from the kind of handsome man typically appreciated by women. However, Thor’s appearance and demeanor took the concept of ‘masculinity to its extreme. Even women who usually preferred more delicate men could easily discern what a true hero looked like.

Louie originally drew inspiration from the God of War, Marzalis, to craft Thor’s image, and he has flawlessly captured the essence of this war god.

As two goats furiously pulled the chariot, they rushed onto the battlefield in Antarctica. Thor raised his hammer, Mjolnir, and as he brought it down with the force to cleave mountains, a dazzling light captured the world’s attention, flashing across the sky above the Antarctic continent.

At that moment, it’s as if countless people hear the theme music from the final battle on the Rainbow Bridge in ‘Thor 3.’

Led Zeppelin’s ‘Immigrant Song’.
