Chapter 68: Everything Under Control (Part II)
Odin was very surprised to look at the ancient one mage who suddenly appeared, and he couldn't help shouting, "Why are you here?!"
The Ancient One mage looked at the various snacks and drinks on the table in front of Odin and the TV show he was watching with a complicated expression. In such a trance, the ancient mage seemed to see the appearance of Thor, the god of thunder, in his old age. In the face of Odin's inquiry, the Ancient One mage just said lightly: "You really deserve to be Thor's father!"
Odin: ??? ???
"Okay, let's be serious. You look like you've woken up a long time ago, right?" the Ancient One mage looked at Odin.
The Ancient One's eyes didn't look very good, so Odin said a little embarrassed, "Oh, that's true. Actually, I've been awake for years. To be exact, I woke up three years ago. It's just not announced. β
The Ancient One mage turned his gaze to Queen Frigga again, and he asked Frigga "Then Her Royal Highness, as the mother of the gods, has been accompanying this old ruffian to go crazy?"
Frigga was not at all angry when she heard the Ancient One mage describe her husband as an old ruffian. Instead, he laughed, and then said, "Yes, you're right, mage. I've been forced to stay here with this old ruffian for years. Although it is not nice to not be able to see my two children, I miss my children very much. But this old ruffian hasn't been with me like this for many years. He had been busy with all kinds of government affairs before, and he had too little time to spend with me. Now that I have the opportunity to accompany me, I actually think it's pretty good. Sit down, Master, and I'll go and get some fruit for you. β
As she spoke, Empress Frigga turned and went to the kitchen to prepare tea, snacks, and fruit. The Ancient One mage sat down next to Odin unceremoniously, then stared at his only remaining eye and said, "Since you have already woken up from Odin's sleep, why don't you show up." Do you know that I almost thought you were dead. β
Odin looked at the Ancient One Mage with a strange expression: "Why do you think so?"
"Because...... Well, don't you know that Loki is now the de facto leader of Asgard?" the Ancient One mage still didn't say that he thought Odin had been killed by Loki, as that speculation seemed a bit unreliable now.
"Huh. Odin snorted as he listened to the words of the Ancient One, and he knew what the Ancient One had not finished speaking. But Odin didn't argue anything either. Because what Rockie is doing now is really easy to conjure up with these speculations. I was seized of power, I was killed or something. There are already a lot of such cannibalistic dramas staged for the sake of rights.
"I didn't wake up in a hurry because I knew what Loki had done. Odin snorted, "I don't want to have a conflict with her, in fact she's done a pretty good job in my absence." Asgard is now very secure in her hands. If I go out, then the distribution of rights will become a very complicated issue. So I'd rather stay here, watch the TV set that Thor brought me back from Earth earlier, and eat all the souvenirs he brought me last time. β
It seems that Odin has already realized everything, and the reason why he chose to pretend that he is still asleep seems to be because he does not want to have any conflict with Loki. Rogie has done a great job in recent years, and it can be said that he has taken control of many of the rights that belong to Odin. Even if Odin returns, I'm afraid the power will be hollowed out.
Of course, it won't be particularly difficult for Odin to come back and seize power. But Odin wasn't going to do that, as he found that Loki had done a bit too much in recent years, and it looked like she was preparing something big. If you stand up and seize power at this time, then it is easy to have an embarrassing and complicated situation between father and daughter. It may even turn into an antagonistic situation. And that's not what Odin wants to see.
"I don't want to go out and have a conflict with Rogie at this time. You know, if there is a conflict at this time, the relationship between the two of us will become very complicated and delicate. In fact, Logie is not greedy for power, she was raised by me, and I know her personality very well. "Odin always has a kind look in his eyes when he talks about Logi.
"She just wants to get something done. I could feel something subtle. What Rockie is preparing to do, this matter may be very important now. I had this premonition when she emptied her treasure trove and created a complete set of Thor armor for Li Jie in the world. β
Odin's tone was particularly bad when he talked about Li Jie, because his eldest son was fattened by Li Jie!(Although in fact Thor ate his own fat, and Li Jie was fed by Thor, but Odin will not pay attention to this)
"At the time, I thought she was in love with Li Jie! I almost wanted to go down to earth and kill this guy!" Odin said this, gritting his teeth as if it were real. The Ancient One mage was watching Odin with the presence of the old gods, and did not express any opinions.
Odin continued: "Fortunately, this is not the case. Rockie had a feeling of something bigger, and I didn't have that hunch until recently. β
The Ancient One Master asked calmly, "What are your plans?"
"About the serpent's plans!" Odin's tone became serious: "That serpent JΓΆrmungad. I couldn't kill him back then, so I had to seal him up in exile and then exile him to an alien planet. It wasn't until the Hammer of Original Sin was discovered on Earth that I discovered that the Great Serpent might have been sealed on Earth. β
Gu Yi still said very calmly: "And then?"
"Actually, the reason why I slept so long this time was because of the big snake, and I had a hunch that the big snake was likely to return. So I chose to hibernate early, and hibernate for a longer period of time. In this way, I can face the war that may be launched in the best condition. Do you know who will kill the Great Serpent in the legend?"
"Thor. β
"Yes, but Thor also has to pay the price! I can't watch Thor die. β
The Ancient One Mage still looked at Odin calmly: "So, what are you hiding here all this time all the time? Do you know that there are many things happening on Earth?" The signs of the serpent's resurgence are already obvious, but you haven't even reminded me!"
Odin touched his long beard, and then said embarrassedly, "Excuse me, but I just felt the snake resuscitate a moment ago." β
"What?!" the Ancient One mage snapped up, and prepared to return to Earth immediately. But Odin stopped him: "Ancient One, don't worry! Although the great snake has been resurrected, his current situation is very strange, don't worry. β
"What's that weird method?"
"Well, it's that he's weak now, super weak, invincible weak. I don't know what's going on, but there's no doubt that the worldline of this world has changed dramatically. Many of the myths, legends, and prophecies of the past have failed. The Great Snake, which was supposed to be extremely powerful, is now too weak to be mentioned. I don't know why. β
The Ancient One Mage listened to Odin's words, but he suddenly thought of a certain Mr. Li who was getting fatter and fatter.
