Chapter 29: The whereabouts of the Sun Goddess
When it came to this, all the gods became serious.
If the thousands of magnificent palaces in Asgard can be built slowly, just as they were at the beginning, the angry gods are not intolerant of spending tens of thousands of years slowly repairing them, but the vanishing sun is the biggest trouble at present.
If the cosmic order established by the entire Aesir Protoss is classified into a hierarchy, the sun undoubtedly plays an extremely important role in it, and the absence of the sun has almost brought this stable cosmic order to the brink of collapse.
More than one of the gods angrily proposed to cut down the serpent and remove the sun from his belly and resuspend it above the sky, but the troubles and thorny issues, including the invasion of the frost giants and Loki's lack of appearance, made it difficult for the gods to spare their hands and feet, so that they did nothing for more than half a year, and did not have time to care about the serpent that caused all this chaos.
And now, the invasion of the frost giants has been pacified, all the brave gods, including Thor, have returned, and Loki, who has never shown up, has also returned here, which means that this long-delayed matter is finally about to usher in a solution.
Loki looked at the gods in front of him with a smile, his smiling face making it completely unpredictable what he was thinking, and then, just as he was about to speak, a voice rang out.
"I still think that the head of that thing should be cut off, that isn't a good thing. ”
Tyr, the god of war, looked at Loki in front of him with a slightly angry face.
Loki was stunned, then looked at Tyr, and then at the other gods, although they did not speak, but it could be seen from the attitudes of the many gods present that most of them agreed with Tyr's idea.
He smiled, then sat back down on his throne and spoke slowly.
"I think ...... There's no need for that. ”
"You ......"
Tyr's brow furrowed, and he couldn't help but say something in anger.
"Calm down, Tyr, I know what you're trying to say, but Sur isn't dead yet. ”
Before Tyr could finish speaking, Loki waved his hand as if he could see through what he was trying to say.
He stared at Tyr in front of him, his pupils rarely becoming more serious, and said in a low voice.
"I've been to the Land of the Dead, but even if I searched all of Heim's Netherworld, I couldn't find Thor's dead soul. ”
Heim Hades is the lowest level of the World Tree, the destination of all the dead, after all the living die, their souls will gather in Heim Hades, without any exceptions, even gods, once they die, their souls will also fall into Haim's Hades.
Tyr looked at Loki in front of him in astonishment, and couldn't help but open his mouth to try to retort.
"Maybe Sur didn't go to the underworld of Heim after his death......"
"If she's not in Haim's underworld, where else can she go!"
But Loki's reaction was unexpectedly tough, he interrupted Tyr's words with a rare direct and rude, and a pair of frosty pale needle-shaped pupils stared at Tyr in front of him, and said in a serious tone.
"All the souls of those who died in glorious battles on the battlefield will go to Valhalla under the guidance of Valkyrie, and all souls who die on their beds due to disease and old age will naturally fall into the realm of death, which is the order established by the god-king Odin at the beginning of the birth of heaven and earth. ”
"Sun Goddess Sur is not human, so the only place that can hold her soul after death is the lowest level of the World Tree, with the ancient gods who have passed away. But I've searched the Land of the Dead, and I can't find any trace of the Sun Goddess Thur...... There is only one explanation, the sun goddess Sur is not dead, she is still in Jörmungård's womb with the sun!"
Loki, who usually doesn't seem to care about anything, looks extremely serious on his face at the moment, as if he has been touched by some untouchable scale, and the aggressive and unyielding fierce momentum makes all the gods stunned.
However, Tyr, the god of war, was not frightened, and a look of anger appeared on his face.
"Do you want to intimidate me!"
As he spoke, he had a strong and irritable temperament, and subconsciously put his hand on the handle of the long knife hanging from his waist.
The Norse gods are all born warriors, even in Odin's palace, they are all wearing armor and hanging weapons from their waists, and their weapons are never left at all.
"Yes and what!"
But across from him, Loki was unexpectedly hard, and in the face of one of the strongest gods in the Garden of Asaph, he didn't even give an inch, and stubbornly pushed back with a word, and also put his hand on the dagger at his waist, his eyes were awe-inspiring, and his body arched slightly, making a defensive gesture.
However, in an instant, the two gods who were still talking well were already tense in an instant, and if they were not careful, they would fight to the death.
An invisible cold killing intent was formed between the two people who were confronting each other.
And that's when ......
"Enough!"
With a roar of rage, the God King's scepter landed heavily on the steps of His Majesty the Golden Palace.
"Bang!"
A heavy crash sounded suddenly, and in an instant, it seemed that the heavens and the earth were shaking, and the entire Golden Palace was trembling, and the gods could barely stand on their feet, and it was only then that Loki and Tyr looked at Odin directly above the palace and noticed the gloomy and angry expression on his face.
Glancing at the two gods in front of him, under Odin's gaze, both of them also sat back on the throne with interest.
Loki was indifferent again, leaning lazily on the throne, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion, only Tyr looked at Loki with dissatisfaction and anger.
Then, the owner of the line of sight looked at Loki, who was whistling as if no one was around, and he said in a deep voice.
"Loki, since you're sure Sur isn't dead, what do you mean. ”
The whistle froze, and then Loki looked at Odin in front of him and said with a serious expression.
"Take the sun and sur out of Jörmungård's belly. ”
Indeed, if the sun goddess Sur was still alive and the sun was still there, then there would be no problem with taking both out of Jörmungård's womb.
But......
Loki did not mention anything about punishing Jörmungard, and the meaning of his revenge was self-evident.
Odin saw all this in his eyes, but didn't say anything, just stared at Loki in front of him, and the calm one-eye made it impossible to see what he was thinking, and after a long time, he said slowly.
"You and Thor are going to settle this matter together. ”
Hearing this, the corners of Loki's mouth curled up and a smile appeared.
......
In the Golden Palace, with the departure of Loki and Thor, the gods also left to deal with their own affairs, but the one-eyed god-king sat silently on the throne, holding his forehead with his hand, as if thinking about something.
After a long time, he seemed to mumble something, and then, a crow on his shoulder suddenly flew out of the Golden Palace......
