As the continent of Midgard was freed from demonic erosion and the people of the Twilight City began to build their new homes in the wilderness, Odin returned to his home after a two-millennia absence.Asgard "God's Domain", Garden of Asaph.Despite a series of emergency treatments, Odin was still very weak at the moment, and for a while he could barely stand after disembarking from Anthony's spherical flying machine, he refused the offer to rest a little longer, and instead walked into the depths of the ruins of the Garden of Asaph after regaining a little strength.Faced with the former homeland that had become a human being, this powerful outlier who was once called the "King of the Gods" fell into a long silence, and the cool cold wind of Asgard blew through the ruins, blowing Odin's white hair, and after a long silence in the wind, he took a deep breath: "It's all gone." ”Hao Ren said casually: "There is a Valkyrie who is still there. ”"But there's only one Valkyrie left."
Odin seemed to smile wryly, but the change in expression was subtle enough to be noticeable."
Asgard has the best preserved ecosystem of the Nine Kingdoms, and although it was the starting point of a chain explosion, it was the least impacted," Vivien said, looking at the lush mountains outside the city of Asaph, "Compared to the other nine kingdoms, this is a paradise.What do you think?
Do you regret leaving this place in a hurry?
If you had been looking for a place to hide in Asgard for a few years, you wouldn't have to go to Midgard to suffer those 2,000 years of sin. ”Odin looked at the empty and lonely ruins of the city, and showed a relieved smile: "Nonsense, the bowels of regret are green." ”When Hao Ren first saw the other party's frank expression, he thought that he was going to say something like "no regrets in his old life", but he didn't expect the old man to be so single, and suddenly the sigh and praise in his stomach turned into a hiccup in his throat before he could say it, and he coughed violently several times before he eased up: "Ahem......
That's pretty straightforward, huh?
”"I've seen it, I've experienced so many things, what else is there to pretend to be?"
Odin grinned, "If I had known what would have become of each of the Nine Kingdoms after the explosion, how could I have gone all the way to Midgard to suck up those two thousand years of radiant exhaust gas?"
No matter how difficult life is in this place, it is much better than being in a chaotic daze on the Iron Throne......"
Everyone: "......"
"Of course, that's not all," Odin finally changed his words at this time, "I do regret that I didn't take a second look at Asgard back then, but if I really had to give up the million lives of the Twilight Capital, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to do it."
If I stay in Asgard, I will live comfortably, but if I stay in Midgard, I will be able to keep millions of humans safe for 2,000 years......
How do you choose between these two......
It's really hard. ”Listening to the old man's analysis of his heart so bluntly, Hao Ren's initial complaints** dissipated unconsciously.He realized that only then was a living Odin in front of him—the halo of the so-called king of the gods, the reputation of the thousand-year-old saint, the exploits of protecting the Twilight City and the black history that had enslaved humanity, and after throwing away all these external things, all that was left was a mortal of flesh and blood.Odin, he really is not a "god", he is just a alien leader who has fallen to the earth and experienced extraordinary experiences.In the depths of Valhalla's palace, that crazy Valkyrie is still holding his post.This time, the group went all the way to the deepest part of Valhalla, and found the Valkyrie waiting for everyone in the monitoring hall.When Hao Ren walked into the hall first, he saw the Valkyrie crouching on a console with a longsword full of lightning, like a fierce female beast in a state of extreme alert, her hair was still messy, her expression was still irrational, and she was completely crazy when she was grinning, but the armor on her body was obviously slightly better - it was a new dress that she had turned out of a corner in order to meet the new order.Although crazy, this Valkyrie seems to have a little bit of logical ability."
Don't go any further!"
The Valkyrie grabbed the long sword and looked at Hao Ren nervously, a menacing roar in her throat, "Stand there!"
”"Relax, relax, you don't remember me?"
Hao Ren hurriedly waved his hand, "I'm Hao Ren, help you find Odin......"
"Oh, I remember you," Valkyrie really didn't know what to do, she frowned and thought for a long time before she remembered it, so she put away her long sword, "You go to our Holy Father, you promised me to bring a new order, did you do it?"
”"I've brought Odin here."
Hao Ren smiled and dodged away, letting a person come in from the outside.Odin walked into the hall and met Valkyrie's eyes.Neither of them spoke for ten seconds.Lily's train of thought suddenly opened: "Ah, there's a problem - Odin is now thin and out of shape, will Valkyrie not recognize his boss?"
”This husky is not reliable to do anything normally, but the words that come out when the mind is suddenly opened are really more than one sentence makes people tremble, and Hao Ren suddenly became nervous, for fear that this second goods would be right in one sentence.But just when everyone was about to deal with the accident, Valkyrie on the opposite side finally spoke: "The certification is complete - Valkyrie waits for orders!"
”Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slapped Lily's head with his hand: "Don't scare people in the future." ”Lily was still aggrieved: "I just have an opinion......"
On the other side, Odin and Valkyrie had successfully completed their certification, and the crazy Valkyrie knelt down after a moment of sluggishness, she looked up at Odin with fanaticism and joy in her eyes: "Great Holy Father!
You've finally returned to inspect your barracks!
The battle outside is over, and Valkyrie's sisters have fought desperately to hold the line, and Valkyrie and the Valky Legion are ready to receive new instructions. ”"Her memory is a little out of order," Hao Ren whispered in Odin's ear, "she doesn't want to believe that Ragnarok really happened, so she still believes that Valhalla's defenses haven't been breached."
Vivien had already managed to reboot her once, but it didn't seem to work. ”Odin's expression changed several times, and the way he looked at Valkyrie became more complicated.Across from him, the loyal Valkyrie still hung her head respectfully, awaiting the next order.As long as a new order is issued, the meaning of the Valkyrie's existence can continue.Hao Ren couldn't help but slow his breathing, he looked at the scene in front of him with some nervousness, not knowing what kind of order Odin would give."
The Garden of Asaph has been destroyed by war."
Odin spoke calmly, and the first sentence made Hao Ren and them break out in a cold sweat.Lily couldn't help but almost jump up on the spot: "Don't be so ...... old man" Vivien quickly pressed the husky spirit, and listened to Odin's side still calmly continue: "There is no winner in the war on the plains of Wiglite, the era of the gods of Asaph is over, the nine kingdoms were all destroyed in Ragnarok, and the situation in other places is worse than here......"
Valkyrie's body trembled slightly.But at this moment, Odin suddenly took two steps forward and reached out to help the Valkyrie up."
But your mission is still well done, and it's crucial.Valhalla's defense is held, and you have kept the last of the Valhallic Legions, so the power of the Garden of Asaph is not completely dead, and it is your efforts that give us hope to rebuild.Midgard still has a group of human survivors, and Eugudollahiel is regenerating from the roots, the war is over, and now is the time to prepare to rebuild, and your Heroic Spirits can be of great help. ”The cold sweat on Hao Ren's head finally stopped, and Nangong May patted his chest beside him: "Whew......
The old man was panting loudly. ”Odin took off his ring and gave it to the Valkyrie as a token: "Integrate the active Heroes, activate the repair station to repair their damage, and then send half of the Heroes to Midgard to assist in the rebuilding there, and you take the remaining half to stay here to clean up the ruins and clean up the battlefield."
There's still a lot of work to be done on the plains of Wiglet, so gather some souls back and we'll have more men. ”The Valkyrie solemnly took the ring and nodded vigorously.Odin spoke again: "There is another order. ”Valkyrie listened intently."
I'm going to abdicate," Odin sighed, "I'm too tired to take on the rule of the Nine Kingdoms.From now on, your master is her—" The old man said as he slowly raised his hand and pointed at Vivien, who was standing behind Hao Ren.Vivien: "What?!
”"Old friend, don't shirk it," Odin waved his hand after seeing Vivien's expression, "I know you can take on this responsibility.I'm old, and the Asaph aren't really immortal gods - the Nine Kingdoms need a nominal master, and the Rainbow Bridge and the ancient artifacts in the Asaph Garden are still very powerful things for humans, and they must always be managed by someone, and there is also the Legion of the Heroic Spirits here......
You should do me a favor old man. ”"Are you really sure this bat can do this?"
Lily couldn't help it, "Let's not talk about the forgetfulness and the habit of sleeping for two centuries, you can rest assured of her fortune - you don't have any money here." ”Vivien: "!!
”Odin thought about it and felt that what Lily said made sense!
So the old man thought about it carefully, and finally raised his hand and pointed at Hao Ren: "Then why don't you give it to you?"
”This time it was Hao Ren's turn: "What?!"
