Chapter 406 Odin: Accept my power, or... die!
A moment later, the prism crystal, radiating a lustrous glow, landed obediently in Thor's palm.
Upon seeing this primordial power symbolizing the supreme monarchy of Asgard, His eyes burned with fervor, followed by a sigh.
Loki.......
We've fought for so long, and so many of our comrades have died.
In the end... I still won.
If you could see this, wouldn't you feel a little regretful?
Pulling his thoughts back, Thor felt as if the pressure on him had lessened by a third.
"Ugh......."
Ok?
I don't think I made a sound...
Where did that sighing sound come from?
At this thought, Thor's body tensed up once again.
Logically speaking, all the surviving Norse gods should be holding fast in the underworld.
There shouldn't be anyone else around the Temple of the God King.
Before He could think further, a small, silver-white hammer returned to His palm at His call.
Thor gripped the hammer handle tightly, and a dense burst of indigo lightning erupted. Just as he was about to strike the corner from which the sound came out, he controlled the surging power of lightning.
Before the Temple of the God King, an old man in a black robe made Thor shudder.
The figure ignored Thor's emotional changes and walked into the God King's Palace on its own, sitting on the long-collapsed white throne.
"Father?!"
Upon hearing these two words, Odin, sitting on his throne, finally showed some emotional fluctuation.
"Thor... shouldn't be yours..."
"I thought... it would be Loki standing here."
Odin's voice was devoid of emotion, while Thor's eyes were filled with vigilance.
He knew very well that perhaps his 'father' had been replaced.
The person in front of me is probably just a Kelvin god disguised as Odin.
On the day the Great Heavenly Lord questioned Asgard, He already knew of the heinous crimes His father had committed.
Therefore, in Thor's heart, He had completely broken with His father.
Of course, this is only His perspective.
"Father, do you not believe me?" He asked, his brows furrowed, but his hands did not stop moving.
If my guess is correct, Odin must be an extremely dangerous person now.
If he cannot ascend to the highest realm as soon as possible, his meager strength will be no match for the veteran supreme god-king Odin.
"If I were to become the God-King of Asgard, our realm would become even more powerful. Loki's character is too ruthless; he is not suited to be king!"
“Perhaps you are right, but have you ever thought about…” Odin said, raising his hand to completely seal Thor’s divine power.
"I don't need a god-king who can lead Asgard to prosperity; what I need is a 'hand' to help me control the entire realm of God..."
After the fusion of the divine kingdom's primordial power was interrupted, Thor's expression grew increasingly grim.
Although He had already stepped one foot into the highest realm, He could not disobey the command of the God-King who possessed the supreme power of Asgard.
“Father, I don’t understand what you mean.”
Upon hearing this, Odin gazed at Thor, who was subtly struggling, and remained silent for a long time. A deathly silence fell over the area surrounding the Temple of the King of Gods...
After an unknown amount of time, Thor, as if resigned to his fate, closed his eyes and awaited Odin's judgment.
"Thor, my child, accept my power..."
"Or... die!..."
..........
In the Netherworld City, Sif raised her head and looked up at the golden light curtain in the sky, her brows furrowed and a look of resentment on her face.
Damn it.......
Why don't these great Xia gods come in?
Meanwhile, the Mountain Corpses of Destruction, which were being controlled by the other Norse gods, were showing signs of becoming uncontrollable.
I'm afraid it won't be long before they become unstoppable, powerful monsters that only know how to kill.
At that time, if they cannot lure the Great Xia God to the Netherworld City-State and into the sight of the Mountain Corpse of Destruction, they will be in trouble.
The remaining Norse gods will become the first nourishment for the corpses that destroyed the city...
"We can't wait any longer. We must take the initiative to break out. Even if we can't get out, we must lead the Great Xia God to the Netherworld City-State!"
Pulling herself back to reality, Sif gritted her teeth and issued the order to launch a counterattack on Asgard.
Tyr, standing to the side, and Hoddle nodded secretly.
Sif truly lived up to her reputation as Lord Thor's wife; even when they were in dire straits, she was still able to lead the gods to a glimmer of hope.
As the leader of Loki's camp, Baldr, the god of light, joined Thor's camp without hesitation after realizing that the god of mischief he worshipped had left this world.
This is the Norse pantheon, where the law of the jungle, where the strong prey on the weak, is vividly displayed.
"let's go!"
With the support of most of the gods, the harvest goddess Sif took the lead, radiating pale yellow divine power as she charged straight toward the dazzling light curtain above the sky.
What are they going to do?
Lin Qiye, who had been watching the Mirror of the Sky, promptly warned the Norse gods after seeing their unusual behavior.
Upon hearing his voice, the Supreme Lord of Morality, who was sitting cross-legged to the side, flashed and arrived next to the Mirror of the Sky.
"Wow! It seems Li was right, these bastards are really playing with fire and getting burned."
After briefly observing the situation in the Netherworld City-State, the Celestial Venerable of Morality smiled slightly, stroked his beard, and said in a low voice.
"Without the laws of the Netherworld, forcibly controlling these City-Destroying Mountain Corpses, which possess overwhelming death energy, is nothing but a pipe dream. We'll just stay here and guard them as long as they can't come up..."
"These arrogant Norse gods will suffer the consequences..."
"That's it!"
"Monkey, Erlang, I hereby order you two to guard this place. Not even a fly is allowed to fly out."
"Smash anyone who shows their face back!"
"Understood!" After receiving the decree from the Celestial Venerable of Morality, Sun Wukong and Yang Jin, who had been standing aside watching the commotion with their arms crossed, also flew forward and landed heavily above the Mirror of the Sky.
"It's just catching hamsters, my brother used to take me to play with them a lot when we were kids."
Upon hearing Yang Jin's voice, a gentle look appeared in Lin Qiye's eyes.
Boom! !
Boom! ! !
Just as he was about to say something, a strong tremor suddenly occurred above the Sky Mirror.
Not only the Great Xia gods guarding the exit of the Netherworld City-State, but also the human ceilings remaining outside the Miracle Square sensed this strange tremor.
"Has the Norse god begun his attack?"
“No…” Sun Wukong frowned and glanced at the gods below, who were far away from the Sky Realm.
Then, He turned his head suspiciously and looked at the summit of the sacred mountain where Li Jie and Yuanshi Tianzun had gone.
"The vibration... came from there!"
Before the temple of the gods, Odin pulled Thor to his side and spoke gently.
"Thor, my child, don't even think about breaking free from my control. You simply can't do it in your current state..."
"Father, what are you trying to do?" Thor asked in a trembling voice as he knelt on the ground in a strange posture.
"What to do? To build a better Asgard, of course."
"Watch, my child..."
"This will be a completely new world..."
As Odin's voice faded, a viscous crimson light erupted from his body, and then...
The dark, cloud-covered sky of Asgard was gradually covered by that crimson hue, and strange red threads pierced through space, precisely entering the foreheads of the still-living Norse gods.
"That is......."
Above the Mirror of the Sky, Sun Wukong and Yang Jin watched nervously as dozens of threads disappeared into the light curtain, and couldn't help but mutter to themselves.
Not only them, but also Lin Qiye and the members of the [Nightfall] team showed disbelief in their eyes.
"The aura of Cthulhu?... "
"retreat!"
With a roar, the Celestial Venerable of Morality made a hand seal, and a Tai Chi Bagua formation covering an area of tens of kilometers appeared.
But strangely...
The Daoist attack unleashed by the Celestial Venerable, who was at the highest level, vanished into nothingness the instant it touched the scarlet thread.
"It seems... things are more serious than we thought."
The Celestial Venerable of Morality frowned, waved his sleeve, and dispersed the array beneath his feet.
That attack was just a test; He simply wanted to see to what extent the Norse gods had been corrupted.
It was easy to see from His expression that the concentration of mental pollution within those scarlet threads had reached an appalling level.
"Heavenly Venerable...do you need help?"
Yang Jin, Sun Wukong, and the Twelve Golden Immortals flew back at the same time, landing beside the solemn-looking Heavenly Venerable of Morality, and asked aloud.
"It's too late. The source isn't in them. Even if we kill them all, the Mother can still resurrect them through the strange methods of the Khrushchev God."
“Strictly speaking, they are no longer gods with independent thinking abilities, but rather servants of the Krishnamurti mother body.”
At the same time, Sif and the others, who were about to reach the celestial light curtain, all shuddered.
Then...
They all developed strange lumps of varying sizes on their bodies.
"what is this?"
Forced to stop, the God of Light, Baldr, somewhat bewildered, gently tugged at the lump that had suddenly appeared on his chest.
The lump burst open instantly, like a boil, and then countless tiny, crimson worms wriggled out of it as if they had gone mad, occasionally transforming into a strange worm eye.
"How disgusting! What is this?!"
"I have some too!!"
"Who is it?! Who on earth is it?!"
"Get out of my body!!"
"Ah!! Damn it! Who's talking?!"
“…”
One, two, three... none of the Norse gods were spared. In less than ten minutes, they had all been turned into blood-soaked figures whose original appearances were no longer recognizable!
Before the King of Gods' palace, Odin projected an image of the underworld city-state.
Thor stared blankly as his wife, comrades, and the gods who had followed him to conquer the world turned into blood-soaked figures devoid of independent consciousness.
"how so......"
"How could they......"
For a moment, Thor didn't know how to describe the scene before him.
At the same time, he unconsciously scratched the itch on his waist, and then, a strange scarlet insect eye appeared in his hand without him noticing.
In an instant, Thor's face turned deathly pale. He turned back in disbelief to look at his father, the previous King of the Gods of Asgard, Odin, and said through gritted teeth!
"Odin!! What have you done?!"
Yes, from this moment on, Thor will never again regard the devil before him as his father.
Upon hearing this, Odin's expression remained unchanged. He lowered his eyes and calmly gazed at the impotently furious Thor, speaking with a hint of helplessness.
"Thor, you are truly outstanding. Odin speaks highly of you. If I had such an excellent son, I would surely be very happy..."
"It's just a pity... He will never see it."
Upon hearing this, Thor felt a chill run through his body.
He... isn't Odin?
So who exactly is He?
"Alright, Thor, I don't have time to explain any further. Relax and accept the guidance of the Black Goat... Become my servant..."
"You...don't even think about it!..."
Although a voice within Thor kept urging him to give up, reason told him that if he did, Asgard would be lost...
It will cease to exist!
Unfortunately, despite Thor's valiant resistance, stripped of his divine power, he could not hold on for long before his consciousness began to dissipate.
Thor vaguely saw a familiar cyan sword light slash through the void and strike Odin hard.
Li Jie.......
Is that you? ......
I'm sorry... Asgard becoming like this was truly not my intention...
If possible........
Please avenge us!
Upon realizing this, Thor, whose eyes were glazed over, suddenly burst forth with dazzling lightning.
Odin, who had just shattered the azure sword light, also showed a look of confusion.
"Thor? I underestimated you..."
Without hesitation, Thor, in his final moments of lucidity, relaxed his clenched fist.
Immediately afterwards, a prism crystal emitting a lustrous glow flew straight towards Li Jie, who had just arrived, like a shooting star.
After doing all this, Thor calmly lowered his hands, gave a self-deprecating smile, and murmured in a voice only he could hear.
"I'm sorry... Thank you..."
Then, countless scarlet worms wriggled out from the eerie insect eyes, and in less than three breaths, it had become, like the other Norse gods, a blood-soaked being without self-awareness.
In mid-air, Li Jie and Yuanshi Tianzun stood side by side. The former looked at the Origin Crystal suspended in front of him and fell into deep thought.
This is... the primordial power of Asgard's divine realm?
