544 Core Extraction [2]

Asgard had fallen deep. Damien realized this as he fell deeper into the rabbit hole that was the Outer Wilds.

Perhaps the organization was truly just at one point, and perhaps their goal was to destroy Niflheim, but that was no longer true. After generations of oppression and bitter struggle, someone at the top finally caved.

What Asgard was now was essentially a mere subordinate power to Niflheim. However, because of their immense strength, they were able to maintain a modicum of free reign.

Perhaps this free reign was what called the Cloud Plane forces over, or perhaps it was a trap from the start.
