The Norse gods find themselves in conflict with the gods of Asia, India and Africa as they vie for control of earth. Lars has grown up to serve Thor, wearing a golden suit of armor to carry out his missions. His service is a sham, however, as his true loyalties lie with a small band of human rebels. They discover that the tropical gods are trying to heat up the earth while the Norse plan on starting a new ice age. All humans will die in both scenarios. Just as this discovery is made, Loki abducts the scientists and takes them to the World Tree for sanctuary. Lars refuses to go.
