Mangog

A colossal, god-created force of destruction born from combined hatred and power.

🎭 Betrayal

Loki’s schemes, betrayals, and gambits propel the invasion, exposing the fragility of alliances between gods and Vanir. Ulik’s opportunism compounds the deception, forcing Thor and Loki to confront the consequences of their choices. Betrayal reshapes loyalties and alters the path of the war.
