Hela scoffed again, sat back down, and continued sketching on the parchment.
Odin glanced at her, then turned his gaze to Thor, and after a moment of silence, carefully considered his words again, "You have found a new path for me."
This statement was, of course, beyond Thor's comprehension.
He doesn't like riddle tellers.
But Odin was a seasoned riddler. Before Thor could react, Odin suddenly raised the Spear of Eternity, his voice booming like thunder throughout the Golden Palace.
"More sublime than the starry sky."
"【More ancient than the universe.】"
"[Ian, the Emperor of All Laws, who wields hidden authority.]"
Thor's face turned deathly pale: "Father?! What are you doing?!"
Odin ignored him and continued reciting his lengthy pledge of allegiance: "[You are the weaver of magic.]"
"【You are a witness to history, the ultimate interpreter of the Marvel Code, where order and chaos intertwine in your hands…】" The ten-thousand-word oath sounded incredibly long.
With Odin's oath.
A certain force is being triggered.
It condenses in the air to form intricate imprints.
It slowly imprinted itself onto his body and soul. Odin did not resist; he knew he could not resist it anyway, so he accepted this change with a calm expression.
“No! You absolutely cannot do this! Asgard needs you! Asgard cannot submit to…” Thor tried to approach, but was stopped by Hela, who was not surprised at all.
"Get out of the way!"
Thor was anxious.
His body began to crackle with electricity.
And at this time.
Odin suddenly let out a muffled groan.
The marks on his body and soul began to crumble, turning into specks of golden light and dissipating. At the same time, the divine power within his body visibly and rapidly declined.
The light of the Eternal Spear also dimmed somewhat.
It is clear.
This was Odin's immediate breach of contract, and he directly paid the price for it, which was half of his divine power, plus the 40% of divine power that his divine body would naturally grow in the future.
Thor was stunned.
I have absolutely no idea what Odin is doing.
“Now, it is time for the tribes that started this war to pay the price.” Odin slowly raised his head, and although his divine power was waning, his single eye was sharper than ever before.
Like that conqueror in his youth.
Returning once again.
Chapter 134 The God of Stories: Hannibal's Perspective!
The contract is completed.
It broke off again very quickly.
If the world were a game, Odin would undoubtedly earn the title of the fastest traitor, having thoroughly studied the mechanics of using the Ian card of evil gods.
He successfully exploited a major bug.
The truth that Thor didn't understand, Odin and Hela seemed to understand very well—Asgardians grow stronger with age, and what binds them is never lifespan but the ever-accumulating divine power within them.
now.
He betrayed the company immediately after signing the contract.
Odin directly released the excess divine power from his body, seemingly becoming much weaker. However, in reality, he is now far more powerful than before.
The body cannot withstand it.
Even if one possesses excessive divine power, if one dares not use it, it is essentially equivalent to having none. Unlike now, when the body, having been overworked for years, can fully bear the remaining half of the divine power.
Being able to fully utilize half of his divine power was enough to make Odin the strongest being in the Nine Realms once again. Furthermore, the fact that his body wouldn't be burst by the divine power meant that he had indirectly gained a longer lifespan.
As for how much longer it can be extended, that depends on how thick-skinned Odin is—if the divine power accumulates to an excessive level in the future, he can still send the divine power away again by repeatedly acting as a double agent.
If Odin were shameless.
It kept jumping back and forth.
Five hundred thousand years later.
Many 500,000 years from now.
He might not even be able to see this world again. As for Thor, he might have the chance to break the record for the longest reign as prince. Don't we all have a bright future ahead of us?
"War... has come, and we Asgard will never allow those frost giants to wreak havoc on the Nine Realms." Odin, holding the Spear of Eternity, his single eye blazing, strode towards the outside of the royal court.
He wasn't wearing the Destroyer Armor. However, even in ordinary armor, he looked imposing, gleaming in the sunlight, his cloak fluttering like a battle banner. The slightly hunched figure that had once been due to old age was gone, replaced by the majesty that had once commanded the submission of the Nine Realms.
"Warriors of Asgard!"
Odin stands atop the golden palace, his eternal spear pointing straight to the heavens, his single eye like a burning star.
“I know what you fear. Do you fear the eternal winter of Jotunheim? Do you fear the ancient curse of the Giant King? No—what you truly fear is that your king has grown old.”
Sudden.
He plunged the tip of the Spear of Eternity into the ground.
Divine power erupted like a tsunami!
"Then see clearly!" His single eye shone with a light brighter than a star, and his aging body was reshaped by divine power, recreating the war god's posture from his bloody battles across the nine realms.
Am I already weakened?
Odin's voice was incredibly loud.
He was conducting troop mobilization before the start of the war.
Morale needs to be boosted.
This is far more important to the war than anything else.
"The miasma of frost has eroded the stars, and the giants' ravages have profaned the oaths of their ancestors! They think we are weak, they think we are fearful, they think our blood no longer boils!" His voice boomed like thunder, and when this king stood on the high platform, the entire army of Asgard held their breath.
"It's time for them to pay the price."
"From this day forward, Jotunheim will forever be without a throne!"
"The glacier will remember my anger!"
"The abyss will sing of your valor!"
"Now—all, follow me to win eternal victory! Go forth with honor, and return with the fear of our enemies!" The voice of the God-King resounded throughout all the kingdoms.
It seemed even the souls of the dead in the underworld trembled before it.
"Great God-King! He has returned! He has returned!"
The veterans stared wide-eyed.
Odin's voice made them feel as if they could see the brilliance of the God-King in his youth.
The Allfather, who once led them to conquer the Nine Realms and struck fear into the hearts of his enemies, seemed to have returned at this moment—few have ever seen Odin like this.
That is not the behavior of a benevolent ruler.
Rather, he was a conqueror who expanded his territory.
Asgard never fears a challenge!
The Spear of Eternity slammed heavily into the ground, its divine power rippling outwards. "Today, we will use blood and glory to make those arrogant fools understand the might of Asgard!"
"For Asgard!"
"For Odin!"
"Fight for the King! Fight for Asgard!" The warriors raised their weapons, their shouts shaking the heavens and the earth. War drums thundered, horns blared, and the entire Asgard trembled with this fighting spirit.
The army's morale was ignited.
The Asgardians will once again prove their invincibility.
Final preparations and mobilization are underway.
"tsk"
Hela, the goddess of death, rides on the back of Fenrir, a giant wolf of enormous size.
This was a terrifying giant wolf with gleaming white fangs, its breath sending out chills, and its scarlet eyes scanning its surroundings, causing the nearby warhorses to neigh uneasily.
She glanced sideways at Thor, who stood there at a loss, and a mocking smile curled at the corner of her lips: "What? It seems our little prince, who grew up in a honey pot, is not used to the atmosphere of the battlefield?"
As soon as these words came out.
Thor, who wasn't used to this environment, was losing face.
"I'm adapting very well!"
He pretended to be calm.
But Hela's lips curled up more and more dramatically. "You can ask Odin to find you a pony, if you think the pony's temperament is too fiery."
talking.
Haila pointed with his finger.
“There are still baby goats in the sheepfold over there.”
The goddess of death offered "thoughtful" advice.
Her sarcastic remarks made Thor blush with embarrassment.
"I am the mighty Thor!" Thor roared, brandishing his hammer and crackling with lightning. "I will show you that I am worthy of the crown prince's position!"
"I am a soldier!"
