Chapter 645: The Fortune of the Stone of Self
"Father?"
The strange sound reached Brunhilde's ears, but it felt so familiar to her. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info she stood in amazement and muttered in the direction of the void.
"Yes, my child. I'm talking to you. ”
The source of the voice, that is, Odin's frank admission of his identity. As for his father, who suddenly appeared, Brunhilde felt an inexplicable confusion.
"But aren't you sleeping? Why is it still here, and in this way? ”
"This is the power of fate, my child." A brief silence was followed by deep sighs and hearty laughter. "It's the new strength I get after a new twist on the river of fate. It's just a simple deal. ”
Listening to this, Brunhilde had a bad feeling. It's as if everything was arranged, as if everything had fallen into a trap that had already been drawn. Everything was tinged with intrigue and calculation, which made her feel irritable and riotous in her heart.
"Strength, fate? What the hell did you do, Odin? Could it be that all this is in your calculations? Like you did when I was cursed and put into a deep sleep? ”
Such a question undoubtedly represents what Brunhilde fears most in his heart. If everything really went as she imagined. Then she really didn't have any way to forgive herself and all of Asgard.
took advantage of the hero who was desperate to save himself, and took advantage of the person who made her heart move. In exchange for an elaborate calculation and deception, such a result is really a great tragedy for her, as an Asgardian Valkyrie. Even if she didn't know it at all, or even said that she was just one of the manipulated pawns, she had a feeling that she could no longer face Zhou Yi.
And for this feeling of hers, Odin knew very well in his heart. What kind of character this daughter of his is, he knows very well. This is a child whose will and belief are extremely pure, and once he has decided on something, he will never learn to give up and compromise. Especially those things that are important to her can be maintained by giving up everything, even life.
This is a virtue, but sometimes it is also a shackle, a shackle that can drag people into the abyss. But it is clear that Brunhilde, who also understands his own personality, has no intention of changing at all.
Therefore, Odin, who was unwilling to lose his daughter at this last moment, still told everything honestly.
"I don't want to sacrifice our hero, Bren. In fact, although all of Asgard has made great sacrifices to change this apocalypse, I have no intention of sacrificing you and him from beginning to end. ”
"He is the transformative force of fate, the one who disturbs the river of fate. In this doomsday showdown, he is a must-have. So a lot of things have to revolve around him in order to unfold. Whether it's giants, or the undead, or even this final showdown, everything is on him. Of course, this also includes the survival of Asgard, the real survival. ”
The Valkyrie, who was evoked the nickname she had only been called when she was a child, did not soften her heart because of these words, in fact, because of what she was thinking, her whole person was now full of negative emotions.
"That's why you're using him, that's why you're using me?"
"I confess that I took advantage of you in this hard battle. But it is also to make your life better and to keep Asgard alive. ”
Odin's voice suddenly became violent, but soon it became dull again.
"I am, after all, the king of Asgard and the father of the gods. I have to take responsibility for the weight that comes on my shoulders. Bren, you don't understand what I've seen and what I've made. How desperate I was when I first saw my fate. I was ecstatic when I first saw the turnaround he represented. ”
"This sacrifice is the best of things compared to the end of the world and the kingdom. Although we have lost countless warriors, lost Heimdall, lost Frigga and even lost the kings of the past. But we survived, and this is actually the greatest gift of fate. ”
"Gifts, do you call them gifts?"
Thinking of everything I saw, of the sight of the Golden Palace and the world of trees burning. Brunhilde felt a fire burning in his chest. And when she saw the fading star in front of her, her heart was as desperate as if she was sinking into the abyss.
Odin couldn't agree with what she said, and she wished it had never happened, and that she was still asleep forever on the flaming peaks.
"You must learn to endure grief, Buren. It's something a king has to learn. ”
"I'm not the king, you're the one. Don't force your thoughts on me. ”
"No, you're already a king. When you hold Gungnir and accept the allegiance of warriors and gods. When I step into the World Tree and embrace the river of destiny, you are already a king. Take over my crown and burden, and you are already the new queen of Asgard. ”
"Wait, what do you mean by that. Odin, what exactly did you do? ”
Hearing his words, Brunhilde felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. She looked eagerly into the void, waiting for his answer, hoping that everything was not as she thought. But the reality is that it always backfires.
At this time, Odin's tone suddenly became kind, as if he had laid down some heavy burden, from a majestic king to an apologetic father.
"As you heard, Bren. I have died, and I have returned to the arms of my ancestors. ”
"Ever since I had insight into the river of fate, I knew what kind of scourge lurked beneath the World Tree. The monster that represents our origin also represents our destruction. The day he wakes up, he will inevitably destroy the World Tree, the sacred artifact that has imprisoned him for countless years. At the same time, Asgard, which relied on the World Tree for its existence, was doomed to be destroyed by him. ”
"It was something that couldn't be changed, but after he appeared, it had already turned around. And by taking this opportunity, we have the last hope, and it is because of this that we can keep the last spark for Asgard. ”
Shaking her head vigorously, Valkyrie didn't agree with him at all, and she stubbornly clung to what she saw.
"No, Asgard has been destroyed, and the World Tree has been burned before my eyes. We did nothing but involve an innocent person in our damned fate. ”
"That's just before, and you don't see the end after that."
As if sighing, Odin said the final ending.
"I made a deal with the Goddess of Fate to become the new root of the World Tree at the cost of my life and soul. At the same time, I also replaced them as the new Destiny Monitor. This is our last resort, the last resort. But it allowed Asgard to be preserved. Add to that the people you are protecting, and we in Asgard are not yet destroyed. ”
"So, you're doing a great job. Bren, everything you have done is enough to make me proud. ”
"So, you're actually dead, aren't you? Like Frigga Heimdall? ”
The Valkyrie, whose face was already indifferent, suddenly asked. To this question, Odin replied abruptly.
"Yes, I'm dead. My child, all you hear now is the rest of my consciousness. Soon, perhaps, these consciousnesses will dissipate. ”
"Well, that is. We're going to die too, aren't we? Will Zhou Yi and I also die in all this? ”
"No, you're not going to die. Bren, you still have to live with the rest of Asgard's people born again. So, I'm not going to let you die. ”
"Won't let me die?"
Glancing up at the shrinking glow above, Brunhilde smiled.
"Do you see that light up there? I have decided that I will stay with him until the moment of death. Can you still say something like this in such a situation? ”
"You're still so stubborn, Bren." Sighing and saying this, Odin suddenly laughed. "But that's my daughter."
"Listen, Buren. There is still hope for you, and there is still a chance that you and he will survive. And all the possibilities are in your hands. ”
Speaking of this, the invisible power suddenly surged. Under the effect of this power, Brunhilde immediately felt a burning pain in his palm.
The golden gem was shining brightly in her palm at the moment, showing its special and special existence. And as Brunhilde gazed at the gem, Odin whispered in her ear.
"This is your hope, the last infinity stone of legend, the Stone of Self. Use it, kid. Use its power to find the future you say you want. I'm sure you'll get what you want at the end. This is my last blessing, Buren. Wishing you and obtaining your happiness! ”
Odin's voice grew muted, even to an extent where it was almost inaudible. But at the same time, the golden stone of self became more and more shining in Brunhilde's hands.
A sleeping consciousness is slowly awakening in this gem. And as she awoke, the Infinity Stones began to stir. Like a separated young son facing his mother, all the Infinity Stones began to cheer and want to return to the embrace of this consciousness.
And just like a rainbow, the colorful light suddenly broke through the fading light of the nova. Rushed in the direction of Brunhilde. (To be continued.) )
