The sky over New York City turns dark and troubled—the gods
are at war….
The Death Legions of Seth the Serpent God are besieging Asgard;
Balder with the strength of Thor leads his troops, side by side with Leir the
Celtic God of Lightning. Sif and Tyr, Lorelei and Caber do their part but from
the land of the Norns, they are watched by the Queen Karnilla who is concerned
for her lover Balder’s sake while all of her magicks are being used to keep her
own realm hidden from the invaders….
In the Dimension of Death, Thor and his allies have
discovered the All-Father Odin a prisoner in the Black Pyramid. Before they can
escape, Grog the God-Crusher arrives with the Demons of Despair, a band of
giants….
Amora the Enchantress, having failed in her attempt to
destroy Seth, is now his prisoner; Seth challenges Balder to single combat or she
dies. Balder agrees and meets Seth on the outskirts of Asgard—but Seth has hidden
killers firing darts to weaken his opponent, unseen by the watchers from
Asgard. The rules of combat broken, the duel becomes very nasty indeed. But
while the Asgardians are distracted, Seth’s troops sneak into the city via a
portal….
In the Dimension of Death, Wind Warrior and the former Egyptian
gods, led by Horus, invade the Black Pyramid and join up with Thor and his
allies against the Death Legions….
In the struggle between Balder and Seth, the Serpent God springs
another trap but this time Lorelei throws herself in front of the weapons and
is wounded. The Asgardians are surprised by the enemy appearing behind them in
the city. Seth delivers the killing blow to Balder but the King’s body vanishes
before his eyes….
With Balder’s death, Thor regains his full strength and
singlehandedly defeats all of his foes, tearing the top off the pyramid in the
process. Odin proceeds to take the others (Hogun, Bes God of Luck, Black Knight,
Earth Lord, Skyhawk, Wind Warrior) back to Asgard but he tells Thor he must stay
behind. It seems Odin’s battle with Surtur was not over when he was captured by
Seth and now Thor, with the Odin Power laid on him, must defeat the fiery
monster who arrives to finish the battle….
