Chapter 569: Antecedents and Consequences The Hand of Fate
"Surtr?" Hearing this name, Zhou Yi immediately nodded slightly. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć "He's strong, barely an opponent. But compared to his strength, I think he has a power that I am familiar with. Eternal Flame, does this thing have anything to do with him? ā
Suddenly hearing such words, Odin's face changed slightly. There are some things that don't lend themselves to being illustrated here. So he directly waved his hand and retreated from the idle people on the left and right. There are only a few gods left who know about it.
Then, in this special environment, Odin began to inform Zhou Yi of the pass.
"Surtr, King of the Flame Giants. He is also the most powerful giant after the progenitor giant Ymir. Where his power comes from is impossible to verify. But the three sisters of fate once gave us such a hint. The Flame Giant is a monster born from the flames and ashes of Yumir's flesh and blood. And what kind of chances does Surtr have to gain the power of the Destroyer? All the answers point in one direction. ā
"You mean the Eternal Flame?" Staring at the never-extinguishing flame on the blade of his gun, Zhou Yi immediately knew what Odin's answer was.
Only the pure destructive flame of the Eternal Flame can give birth to a flame giant with such destructive power, and only in this way can it be explained why the Eternal Flame resonates with Surtr in such a way.
Although there are some doubts as to how the gods of Asgard would have such a treasure as important to Surtr. But I also understand that it must be a story that will not be clear for a while. And Zhou Yi didn't have the idea of listening to the story now. He silently withdrew his weapon before speaking to Odin as if he were sure of something.
"In that case, then leave this guy to me. Since you have given me the Eternal Flame, it is up to me to solve this problem. ā
This sentence sounded a little harsh to the ears of the gods of Asgard, because it seemed to indicate that they had thought of today when they first created the artifact for Zhou Yi. Use the Eternal Flame as bait to lure the big fish of Surtr, and then let the holder of Zhou Yi, the bait, compete with the big fish.
It is true that the gods of Asgard had this intention. But they are still embarrassed to be pointed out like this. But being cheeky is a skill that all politicians must master, even the likes of Odin.
So he just laughed dryly, and said with some eagerness.
"How, my friend. I guess it must be overthinking. ā
Zhou Yi doesn't care much about this kind of thing. Maybe Surtr is invincible in the eyes of this group, but in Zhou Yi's eyes, he is just like that, and it is impossible to pose a threat at all. And since it can't be a threat, then naturally it won't be to the point of anger.
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. I don't mean to blame. Now that I'm standing here, I'm on the same side as you. So, I'm not going to accuse you of anything. I just hope that it would be better not to have such a situation in the future! ā
"Of course, I can assure you. Whether it's a sword or a conspiracy, the Asgardians don't point it at their teammates! ā
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Odin immediately let out a sigh of relief. Judging from the current situation, they are really inseparable from the existence of Zhou Yi. If Zhou Yi really gave up Asgard completely because of their previous actions, it would be their biggest and most unbearable loss. So Odin immediately assured Zhou Yi.
Regardless, the Asgardians are still worth trusting. At least for now, they still deserve to be trusted.
"In that case, then it's fine. Your Majesty, I need to put things in order now, so can you arrange it for me? ā
"Of course, my friend. There will always be your place in the Golden Palace. I have commanded all the maids-in-waiting, and you may enjoy all the hospitality in my palace as if you were in your own home, and they will do whatever you command! ā
Odin's busy answer made Zhou Yi smile slightly, then waved his hand, and walked straight towards the back of Odin's palace. At this time, Heimdall, who had been standing beside him like a statue, couldn't help but open his mouth and said to his king.
"Your Majesty, is this really good? Know that our enemy is not just Surtr! ā
"What do you want, Heimdall. Can you still count on my friends to help us get rid of all the enemies? Surrender all the strong enemies to our friends, and then we watch the play on the sidelines, waiting for the fruits to be reaped. Don't you think it's a shame to do that? ā
Glancing at Heimdall, Odin reprimanded him unceremoniously. Listening to his reprimand, Heimdall was stunned, but slowly lowered his head.
"My Majesty, if you may. I also don't want a Midgard to charge for us Asgard. But is there any other way for us? The trajectory of fate is still there, and the absence of a Surtr will not help at all. If we accidentally repeat the mistakes of the past, then nothing will change at all! Your Majesty Odin, please think again. ā
"I've thought twice, Heimdall." Odin still refused without question. "The goddess of fate said a lot, especially the head and tail, it is better to give it a go. The turning point of fate is already in our hands, if we are still the ugly appearance at this time that we don't even have the courage to fight, then how can we ask for the shackles of fate above our race, and how can we resist the final judgment from fate. ā
"It is enough to hand over the most formidable enemy, Surtr, to my friends. That's enough to make me feel uneasy. The rest of the enemies, we Asgardians, have to deal with with our own hands. This is my command as a king! Only in this way can we be qualified to establish true friendship with our friends, and only in this way can we live up to our Asgardian traditions and honors. Do you see what I mean, Heimdall? ā
"Yes, my majesty, if this is your will. I am willing to be the shield and sword in your hand, to cut through thorns and thorns for you, and to charge into battle. ā
In addition to being a courtier, Heimdall was a warrior, a warrior who also revered the traditions and glory of Asgard. Since his king had already said such a thing, he naturally had no more opinions. He was not afraid of battle, much less of death. If it weren't for the fact that fate was going to exterminate Asgard, he wouldn't have said such things to Odin at this time.
"I knew you could understand me, Heimdall." Rubbing the Meteor Spear in his hand, Gungnir, Odin sighed often. "Asgard is a kingdom of warriors, and if you give up fighting for the sake of temporary survival, even if you survive by chance, there will be no future at all. So, I'd rather sacrifice than pass on the spirit of Asgard. Even if the person who sacrificed it might be me. ā
"I'm ready to come back. So, I hope you will have this realization. ā
The words made each god show a different look, and it was obvious that not every god could accept his thoughts. Seeing this, Odin quietly clenched the barrel of his gun, but he did not dispel their thoughts one by one. Instead, he turned to look at Heimdall.
"Are you sure that the serpent's incarnation, Jemongard, has manifested? Heimdall? ā
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hearing this, Heimdall immediately looked into the depths of the void. He had seen the serpent stirring up waves in the Rhine, the destruction and destruction of the possibilities it would show in the future. "I see it very clearly, Your Majesty. The incarnation of the Rhine has been transformed into the form of the earthly serpent Jemongard, and as fate has shown, it has become our destined enemy. ā
"What an impermanent arrangement. Who would have thought that a god who had long since died would be resurrected at this time? Obviously, we have destroyed everything in the dark gnomes, but we will actually give these zombies a chance to resurrect. Is this the power of fate? ā
It seems to be emotional, and it seems to be admired. Once again, Odin expressed his admiration at the power of fate.
Who would have thought that the kingdom of dark gnomes, which had been destroyed thousands of years ago, would come back to life at this time and become their enemies?
Apparently they have destroyed their empire, demolished their temples and altars, banished their people, and ruined their civilization. But even so, it still gave them a chance to be resurrected.
Groniel, a god once served by the dark gnomes, was killed by his own brother 10,000 years ago. Today, 10,000 years later, he was resurrected under the opportunity of Ragnarok, and with the power of the Rhine, with the resentment and hatred accumulated by the dark gnomes for thousands of years, he actually turned into an earthly snake and became one of the protagonists of Ragnarok. This is something that no one expected.
Neither Odin nor Heimdall could have imagined that Groniel, a dead god, would still have a remnant soul lodged in the body of a dwarf. They didn't even expect that the gold of the Rhine, a magical treasure called the Rhine Secret Treasure, would actually be the sacred object that the dark gnomes sacrificed to Gronnir back then. And after they destroyed the country and the species, this artifact also became a magic treasure that held their resentment and hatred.
Everything is as if there is a big invisible hand at its disposal, burying everything little by little, and then digging it out little by little. And it was at this time.
Ragnarok, the doomed end of fate. It was only then that Asgard realized what kind of misfortune they had sown.
If you can find it in advance, you may be able to turn a little bit around. But now, everything has settled. The protagonists destined for fate have already appeared one after another, and there is not much left! (To be continued.) )
