The Watcher's Narrations[]
- "In a campaign of fire and blood, King Odin sought to unite the Nine Realms under the throne of Asgard. His chief weapon in the conquest that built his empire, his executioner, and first-born daughter, Hela, the Goddess of Death. One by one, the branches of the World's Tree fell under their control. But Hela hungered for more. Unable to quench his daughter's thirst for blood, the Allfather opted to contain it, and imprisoned her in Hel. But, in this universe, Hela's insolence inspired another idea. Like the Ten Rings that fueled his power, Xu Wenwu knew all too well the most powerful forces on Earth often come from beyond."
- "Rain. The miracle of nature that often brings the sky down to Earth. But Wenwu was about to discover someone far more intriguing had fallen from the heavens."
- "There, on an ancient battlefield, a man and a woman, a mortal and a goddess, the Ten Rings and the armies of Asgard forged an alliance and built an empire. An empire that would span the cosmos. An empire not of conquerors, but of liberators. Liberators whose campaign across the universe would forever prove even the darkest of hearts can come to know peace."
