The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 1161 - 153: Do You Understand the Value of War God Mountain’s Top Card?

Chapter 1161: Chapter 153: Do You Understand the Value of War God Mountain’s Top Card?

In fact, Odin never intended to side with this Nordic Origin God from the very beginning.

Because the reasoning was simple:

He was a rotten person, not a foolish one.

Outsiders could question his character, but not his intelligence.

After enduring numerous trials and catastrophes, Odin was well aware of Orlog’s nature and intent

— the other considered the whole of the Nordic as a pasture and all life as sheep;

— once the grass withered and the sheep were fattened, all things in the world would be placed on the altar, becoming sacrifices for his ascension to a higher Divine Throne.

Even if he abandoned his already scant moral baseline and followed the Origin God to the end, he and the Asa Divine Race would sooner or later become stepping stones, discarded once used.

Therefore, upon hearing the voice in his mind, Odin pretended to acquiesce while thinking of ways to inform his Blood Alliance Brother and the Norn Three Goddesses of the situation.

Eventually, they used the World Tree as a medium to complete their covert communication and devised their current strategy:

Since the lifeblood of the Nordic had been severed, [Ragnarök] was unavoidable, so they simply let the [outcome] come to pass.

They seized this opportunity to abolish the old and establish the new, erasing Orlog’s influence over the entire Nordic World and all life, and through this inevitable [Sacrifice], create a New God who would carry the lifeblood of the Nordic World, representing the will of life from the Nine Realms!

This was the [grand death] that Luo En spoke of.

Of course, achieving this under Orlog’s very nose was no easy feat.

First, secretly changing the sacrificial target and making all life in the Nine Realms willingly march into death were two enormous riddles.

After experiencing [Expedition to Celtic], [Fighting the Black Tide], and [Repelling Eternal Night], the Nine Great Kingdoms had successfully put aside differences and united as never before.

Even if Luo En ordered it personally, the Nine Great Kingdoms might not be willing to take up their knives against their former comrades.

Therefore, it required someone of sufficient weight to play the traitor, inciting internal chaos within the Nine Great Kingdoms and sounding the horn of Ragnarök.

Unfortunately, as one of the only two Divine Kings at the time, considering his usual flawed character and the situation with Orlog actively seeking him out, Odin undoubtedly became the obvious choice.

Thus, he naturally rebelled, stabbing Luo En solidly, thereby becoming the backstabbing brother and a top-tier scoundrel who sought to seize the [Flames] to prolong the life of the Asa Divine Race.

But in truth, everyone forgot one thing

— creating a world requires magnificent sacrifice, and so does ruling one!

Back then, to explore the mysteries of Runes and obtain Divine Authority to rule the world, Odin sacrificed to the World Tree through hanging upside down and self-mutilation.

And the Eternal Spear Gungnir was the [instrument] used for that sacrifice.

Thus, Luo En being impaled on Gungnir and hung like dried meat on the World Tree was also for the sake of sacrifice.

On one hand, he used this to erase the Divine King imprint left by Odin within the World Tree and Orlog’s influence, gaining complete mastery over the dominion of the Nordic World.

On the other hand, he also became the focal point for all life across the Nine Great Kingdoms, with every sacrifice and death in Ragnarök revolving around his [Flames].

By this point, the sacrificial target of the entire Nordic World had secretly shifted, perfectly solving the first riddle.

And to solve the second riddle, earn Orlog’s trust, Odin willingly accepted the erosion of the Dark Ether on the eve of their actions.

However, since neither could ascertain whether after enduring the erosion of the Dark Ether, Odin would change his original intent and truly become Orlog’s puppet

So, someone had to be responsible for the end game.

To be certain, before heading to the banquet, Luo En entrusted his beloved apprentice Vivian, who was not recorded in the Nordic Fate, to deliver a letter to another student, Hela.

The letter was simple, but its content was terrifying:

— Destroy the Nine Realms, kill Odin!

On the surface, this was not a pleasant task, potentially making one the target of many, and thereby risking one’s life.

So, Luo En gave Hela two choices:

She could do it, or not.

If she refused, Luo En had another candidate to entrust with granting Odin and himself longevity, and that was his devoted daughter Heluo in Midgard.

In the original version of Nordic Mythology, Divine King Odin perished together with the Giant Wolf Fenrir.

However, out of consideration for their teacher-student relationship, Luo En wanted to give Hela a chance:

Freya’s death, Hela bore some responsibility for it.

And this matter was not hidden from him as a teacher, nor from Odin as her father.

All things considered, with both his wife and son dead due to Hela’s involvement, Odin would definitely harbor resentment.

If not for the chaos brought by [Eternal Night] and the [Black Tide], Odin might have already gathered his forces to storm the Netherworld and battle this daughter to the death.

Similarly, Hela, incarcerated for millennia due to her birth father’s schemes, could not possibly be without resentment, otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed the Frost Giant King Lafei to invade the Immortal Palace on a mere whim.

Since both father and daughter were displeased with each other, they might as well settle it with a life and death encounter.

Everyone could seek their revenge, and vent their millennia-old grievances against each other.

This time, Hela ultimately did not disappoint him, and at the cost of her own death, perished alongside her biological father Odin, while simultaneously igniting the entire Nordic God Era, drawing all living beings in the Nine Realms into the final sacrifice.
