Chapter 77: Hard Time

Heimdall's expression remained grim as he began to explain what he had discovered.

"There has been a rise of monsters in Midgard," he said. "But this time, they're different. They're no longer just the Fenrir's wolves you've faced before. Now, it's the animals of Midgard itself that have mutated. Their bodies have become larger and exude a dark mist. Their eyes turned completely black."

Thor's fists clenched on the table as Heimdall continued.

"The situation is worsening," Heimdall said gravely. "Humans are beginning to change too. It's subtle but I've observed them growing more fearful and anxious, very quickly. Small riots have started breaking out in a few cities. Something dark is spreading, and it's only getting worse."

Erik and Mia exchanged a glance. Their own growing anxiety was clear on their faces. Heimdall's words hit them hard. Just when they thought things couldn't get worse, now their home was falling into chaos.
