And with the deaths of wise Odin and mighty Thor, the world as we know it comes to an end.

Voluspa - Norse Mythology Book - Verse 57

“The sun turns black, | earth sinks in the sea,

The hot stars down | from heaven are whirled;

Fierce grows the steam | and the life-feeding flame,

Till fire leaps high | about heaven itself.”

Bellows Translation
