Fenrir, the demon wolf, opened its jaws large enough to devour all opponents and pounced on Odin.

To Todd's surprise, the latter did not raise his weapon at all, but just stood there, looking at Asgard in the distance, which was burned by the fire, sighed, and whispered something.

At the exclamation of the gods, Fenrir bit Odin by the throat, and the king of the gods died.

In later generations, in any prose or poem about Ragnarok, Odin's death is generally described as, "He was unlucky, and he died at the mouth of Fenrir without paying attention." And his son Vader, spurred on by his father's tragic death, rushed forward and tore Fenrir apart, and pierced the heart of the beast with the Eternal Spear." Jingsu shifted his body slightly and said to Todd, "Haven't the people of the world thought about one thing? Odin, the king of the gods, was far superior to other gods in strength and combat skills, but he died under the sharp teeth of the demon wolf in a short time. And his son, can he defeat the demon wolf?"

Todd looked at the fierce battle that broke out on the Rainbow Bridge, and turned his head away.

Jingju's red light slowly dimmed: "Guilt and self-blame have made Odin lose the will to live, and in the face of a war that is meaningless even if he wins, he prefers to use death to get relief." ”

Todd looked back at the battlefield one last time, and a silver-haired Valkyrie in despair stabbed her spear into the heart of her foe, the final act of this old memory.

Jingsu waved his hand to cut off the picture, and the whole world returned to the temple under the sea.

Todd sat down on the floor and took a minute to compose himself.

After this, Todd asks Jingsu questions.

The first question is, "What are you?"

"We are the guardians of order and the guardians of the evolution of life, and we are in charge of the 'legal data' of each plane to ensure that everything runs according to the existing trajectory......"

Todd interrupted, "Is there any point in doing this? I mean, some species are there to occupy more resources, some species are to enslave other races, and some species are to ensure their own safety...... So, what is the purpose of Jingsu doing this?"

The red light on the surface of the other party's metal flickered a few times, and after a long while, he said, "I don't know." ”

"You don't know?!" Todd stood up from the ground in shock, pointed at Jingsu, and stammered, "Then where did you get all that information before?"

Jingsu paused for a moment, then said, "Since I was conscious, I have been assigned to this plane as a supervisor. My task and directive have also been given from the very beginning - to select suitable candidates from the creatures of this dimension for cultivation, and finally select an agent from the shortlist, give them the ability of 'super-legal causes', and observe the evolutionary patterns and development levels of all creatures in this dimension. ”

Todd was stunned: "That's it?"

In the metal shell of Jingju, a buzzing voice sounded: "That's it. ”

Todd put his hand on his forehead and said helplessly: "What you said is the truth, it can't be deliberately concealed or deceived me, right?"

Jingju's tone was full of puzzlement: "Why deceive? In order to complete the task, I need the cooperation and understanding of the agent, and lies will only cause distrust and division in the end. ”

Todd shook his head with a smile and remembered another interesting question: "What about the other candidates?

"Definitely not. Candidates from different levels of civilization do not have the same level of receptivity to information. For a person of the current age, it is inherently unrealistic to explain what the universe is, what dimensions are, and what evolution is. The red light of Jingsu pointed at Todd's forehead, and he slowed down his speech, "As I said when we first met, you came from another Jingsu's plane to my plane. You are a very special individual to me. ”

Todd shrugged his shoulders and accepted the statement, "Speaking of the plane I was originally in, and the plane you managed. Whether it's a historical figure or an event, I found that there are many similarities and many differences. For example, religion, in my original plane, Catholicism corresponds to the Heavenly Father's religion here, Orthodox Christianity corresponds to the Most Orthodox Christianity here, and the Norse gods correspond to the North Island mythology here. However, there are many places where there are many differences, such as countries, customs, and species. Is there any connection between this?"

Jingsu slowly floated in mid-air for a moment, and then responded, "I don't know the specific reason, maybe it has something to do with the 'legal data' stored in the beacon tower. If I can analyze the beacon towers of your original plane, I may be able to find more clues. ”

Todd said self-deprecatingly, "Forget it, I don't want to die again." ”

"Speaking of death, I have one more thing to ask you. Todd asked with interest, "How many candidates are there so far?"

"Plus you, 17 people. ”

"So much?"

Jingsu shook the metal shell: "When you first came to this plane, there were a total of 23 candidates, 11 were disqualified during this time, and 5 were qualified. ”

Todd was a little confused, he always thought that the number of candidates would only decrease, but he didn't expect it to increase.

"If the number of candidates keeps increasing, how can we finally determine the winner?"

"Due to the exhaustion of energy last time, I did not have time to tell you about the conditions for the candidate to win. Jing Su leaned closer to some Todd and said word by word, "There are three ways in which a candidate can win: strength, conquest, and faith. ”

"The so-called victory of power refers to the candidate's finding a unique way of survival, and can use his own power to control and defeat any force on the main planet; the so-called victory of conquest refers to the candidate's direct or indirect occupation of the entire main planet, the land of all civilizations; and the final victory of faith refers to the candidate's transformation of more than half of the world's population into his own believers, and there are no restrictions on the way and form. ”

After listening to Jingsu's introduction, Todd shook his head and sighed, "Either way, it doesn't sound easy. ”

"That's right, due to the difficulty of meeting the conditions, most of the time in the plane, there are only candidates, and there is no deputy. ”

Todd touched the bridge of his nose and whispered to Jingsu, "You also said that I am from another plane and a special being, so can't you give me some preferential treatment......?"

"Impossible!" Jingsu didn't pause for a second, and directly denied this request: "The competition between candidates must be regarded as equal competition, and any partiality is not allowed!"

Todd, who looked disgusted, snorted, stretched, and said while looking up at the sky: "It doesn't matter, anyway, now I'm either dead, or I've mutated into a monster, and I've completely lost my qualification as a candidate anyway." ”

Jingsu's red light flickered: "Are you mistaken? Although your consciousness is here now, your body is intact. You have found the key to inhibiting the mutation, and your body has regained its health through another evolution, ready to return to land. ”
