The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 1157 - 151 Odin, You Are a Terrible Person!_2

"Three thousand years ago, the three Giant Clans caused chaos. If it weren’t for you deceiving them into Asgard with trickery, making them build walls for the Asa, and then encircling and annihilating them, the Nordic realm might have been destroyed in the conflict between the Asa Divine Race and the Giant Clan."

"Hundreds of years ago, Heluo led the Elves, Dwarves, and Humans towards an alliance. If it weren’t for you suppressing and stabilizing things beforehand, and actively making concessions for peace afterwards, the Nordic realm might have been destroyed due to a falling out between you and me."

"A few years ago, Saki kidnapped the Goddess of Youth, Eden, and polluted the World Tree, causing the gods to panic because of aging. If it weren’t for you taking down Saki, making a peace pact with Scadi, and agreeing to be her matchmaker, the Mountain Giants and Frost Giants would have allied, sparking another Divine War between the Immortal Palace and the Giant Clan. The Nordic realm could have faced another crisis of destruction."

"Lastly, although the Expedition to Celtic failed, you stood by me, unleashing the Great Sacrifice, allowing me to successfully block the Mother of Origin of the Danu Divine Race, preserving the elite forces of the Asa and Warner. Otherwise, the history of the Nordic realm might have come to an end here as well."

"Though you haven’t changed the outcome of Ragnarök, you tried your utmost, sacrificing everything time and again to postpone this result, sustaining the Nordic realm till now."

Luo En gazed at Odin, who had turned around, making a final assessment of this Divine King of the Asa, his Blood Alliance brother,

"You indeed wronged all of them, but you are the only one who did right by this world!"

Odin said nothing, just tilted his head back forcefully, as if unwilling to let anyone see his expression and reaction.

After a long while, he lowered his head, laughing and cursing:

"Loki, you rascal! When it comes to sophistry, I’m indeed no match for you."

"This is a blatant slander, I never lie."

Luo En replied tautly, seriously and earnestly.

The two "honest men" stared at each other for a moment, breaking into hearty laughter after a brief silence, embracing each other.

"So, Odin, do you still think you were wrong?"

"I don’t know."

"Then do you regret it?"

"I regret it, but if given another chance, I fear I’d do it again!"

Upon hearing the unshaken answer, Luo En smiled knowingly, preparing to release his arms.

However, Odin held him tightly, speaking solemnly:

"There’s one more thing I need to confess to you."

"What?" Luo En asked, a bit curious.

"I’m sorry..."

With a low murmur, a black thorn shot out from Odin’s ring, piercing into his Blood Alliance brother’s nape.

Immediately, an irresistible drowsiness spread throughout Luo En’s body, his head drooping as he fell to the ground with a thud.

—The Sleeping Thorn.

Also known as [thorn], it’s an extremely unique item in the Aesir Treasure Vault. Though not very useful, it can make one fall into a deep sleep from which they won’t wake for a long time.

Odin had tested it on himself; even he would fall into a three-month-long slumber after being hit.

Evidently, using it on his good brother was equally effective.

Odin watched the sleeping figure on the ground, a flicker in his eyes.

Meanwhile, Thor, who was stationed outside the hall, rushed in upon hearing the commotion and was startled by the scene before him:

"Father God, what’s going on here?"

"He’s drunk, I’m taking him to rest."

Odin replied offhandedly, then lifted one of Luo En’s arms, heading towards the door.

"Father God, let me help you!"

Thor quickly followed, supporting Luo En’s other arm.

Odin did not refuse, exiting the Golden Palace with his son.

However, Thor gradually realized that his father Odin didn’t lead them to the sleeping quarters but instead went straight to the center of the Eternal Garden, under the canopy of the World Tree Yggdrasil.

With one step forward, the three of them entered the space inside the World Tree.

Due to the advent of Ragnarök and the continuous burning, the entire interior of the canopy was charred black, devoid of any vitality.

Thor felt a foreboding sensation rising and was about to ask.

Yet, the cold gleam of the Eternal Spear Gungnir pierced through the murk, impaling Luo En through the abdomen, pinning him to the charred canopy.

Thor was taken aback, his expression changed immediately as he blocked in front of Odin, asking:

"Father God, what are you doing?"

"Saving you, saving the Asa."

Odin answered sternly, his single eye filled with calm and ruthlessness.

Meanwhile, golden-red Divine Blood spurted from Luo En’s abdominal wound, seeping into the cracks of the withered World Tree. Instantly, the lifeless canopy erupted with brilliant golden flames.

This light and warmth surpassed tenfold than before.

Following his father’s gaze, Thor saw his once graying hair gradually return to a vibrant gold with Vitality, clearing away accumulated fatigue.

At this moment, he finally understood his father Odin’s intention:

"You want to gather all the flames from the Nine Great Kingdoms to Asgard?"

"Indeed, only this way will the aging of the gods halt, and you can live longer."

"But what about life in other realms? Without flames to dispel the Eternal Night and black tide, what will they do?"

"It’s none of my concern."

"What about Loki? He’s your Blood Alliance brother; are you going to let him bleed dry?"

"It’s a necessary sacrifice."

Odin answered indifferently, resolute and decisive.

Watching that expressionless face, Thor shouted in disbelief with anger:

"Insane! You’re utterly insane!"

"I do all this for the sake of the Asa."

"If Asa’s continuation is built on betrayal and lies, then it should be better to be destroyed sooner! If our lives depend on the blood of friends and family, then I’d rather die!"

Thor refuted angrily, then strode to the canopy, reaching out to pull out the Eternal Spear pinned to the tree, to free Luo En.

However, a sudden chill in his abdomen drained all his strength instantly.

Thor was stunned, lowering his head to see a black muddy blade piercing through his abdomen, swiftly eroding his Divinity and the divinity.

—Dark Ether!

"Pu!"

The blade was withdrawn, Thor fell to his knees, countless filaments extending from the dark ether swamp accumulated at his feet, instantly cocooning him.

Odin wiped the bloodstains from the sword, murmuring to himself:

"All I do is for the continuation of the Asa..."

"For... Asa’s continuation..."

The dry voice echoed within the canopy, Thor stood up from the swamp again, red-black Divine Patterns covered his body, and his eyes were a void of black.

"Go, summon your brothers and sisters. There are things I need to discuss with them here."

Thor nodded, the black in his eyes fading, stepping out of the domain of the World Tree, heading toward the Temple of the gods in the Immortal Palace.

~~

Days later, all in Midgard discovered a terrifying truth.

The fire, extinguished!

Specifically, the flames that had been illuminating the Elves, Humans, Dwarves, and Valhalla in the Four Great Kingdoms, extinguished.

The entire World Tree became utterly silent, leaving nothing but charred blackness after the flames burned out.

The only remaining light gathered at the top of the canopy, becoming the last glimmer of light, the final, unreachable hope.

Only the gods in the Immortal Palace were fortunate enough to bask in this light.

On the ground, without sunlight and without flames, there was no strength left to prevent the spread of [Eternal Night] and [black tide].

Under the bone-chilling cold of the Fimbulwinter, order maintained by Elves, Humans, Dwarves, Giants, and Valkyries utterly collapsed. Distrust and conflict filled the spaces between lives, and chaos and malice ruled the world.

Driven frantic by scarce survival resources, various races and creatures hacked at each other, Magic Beasts rushed into the settlements of various races to prey, and Ancient Giants infected by black mud crossed the Iron Forest to indiscriminately spread the poison within them...

Everything is sliding towards ultimate destruction.
