Chapter 421: Blood Relatives Destroy Each Other
Odin appeared domineeringly in the middle of the room, saying that he wanted to talk to Thor, but he didn't mean to discuss it at all. Completely ignoring the reactions of others, he tapped his spear on the ground with a flick, and a rising golden whirlwind enveloped both him and Thor. The figures of both of them dissipated together in the light until they dissipated into nothingness.
When he came to his senses, Thor was standing face to face with his father in a golden field. But he was expressionless, not the slightest bit surprised by this sight, and it was only natural for Odin to be able to do such a thing.
"What are you doing here?" Thor asked coldly, looking at his father's eyes as if looking at a stranger, "Did you finally change your mind and decide to send troops?" Or did you go back on your word and decide to take me back to Asgard? First of all, no matter what happens, I won't leave. I'll fight alongside the Atrium to the last breath, and anyone who stands in my way will be knocked down by meβeven if it's you. β
Odin looked at him calmly, not in the slightest angry at his revolt.
"Of course you won't." He said lightly, his voice unusually clear and loud in the sealed golden world, "You have always been like this, child. It's almost a pattern where you get knocked to the ground and come back to Asgard covered in bruises...... And then the next time you rush forward with complete disregard for yourself. Time and time again, this glory of yours will eventually kill you. β
"I still fall from the sky all the time. But that doesn't stop me. β
Odin closed his eyes and was silent for a long time.
"There's still time, Thor." "You don't have to fight to the death, you don't have to do it for what should be my responsibility," he said. β
"So we're going to sacrifice the whole world to save ourselves?" Thor shook his head, "No, that's not an approach at all. If the magic that gave birth to the prophecy was the only thing that could kill the serpent...... If I was destined to be the fulfiller of this prophecy, let it be. β
After a pause, Thor's tone softened slightly, "Maybe you hope not, but I learned this from you. It was you who taught me, Father, that there is always something right that is worth dying for. β
Odin sighed, "If you are a father...... If you were a father, you might understand that the world is nothing compared to your own son. β
"But that's up to Thor to decide, isn't it?"
A third voice rang out in the space, black armor emerging from a near-transparent state. Michael appeared here silently.
Odin's face changed slightly: "You...... Mortal, how did you get here? β
"I also have a few little tricks of my own." Michael said.
"Get me out of here." Odin said coldly, raising his right hand, trying to drive the mortal out of his realm, but he found that he couldn't.
For some reason, he couldn't get the human out. It was as if he had assimilated into a part of the realm.
Odin was surprised. But before he could speak, Thor lowered his arm: "No need, father, this man is my comrade-in-arms, and he also helped Asgard during the previous Loki incident, remember?" β
Odin snorted lowly, and no longer tried to chase Michael out, but said, "This is a matter between me and Thor, and it has nothing to do with outsiders." Or are you here to accuse me of not standing up against the serpent? β
"Save it, Odin, don't be sentimental, no one expects you to make a move." Michael said coldly, "The earth does not need your protection, and you have never been the monarch of the earth. We will fight our own battles ourselves, and we don't need you to interfere.
But what I would say is that if you're really starting this conversation from the shoes of a father, then you should be more respectful of Thor's own wishes. He's not just your son, he's the thunder god of the earth, and he has the right to make his own decisions. Don't think that because the serpent is your sin, it is only about you. The truth is, you were just a bystander before the serpent's tentacles reached Asgard. Then be a bystander and watch from your throne how humanity is making him pay. β
"You ......," Odin surprised, "do you know who you're talking to?" β
"Well, father, he's right." Thor hastily interrupted before Odin and the Black Knight could get into action, saying, "I'll stay, I'll fight with mortals." I won't die easily, father, but if that is really the inevitable end for me, I have nothing to fear. But before that, I just want to know one question, one answer. β
After a moment of silence, he asked, "The big snake...... Is he really the father of the gods? β
Odin closed his eyes lightly.
"I've told you a lot of lies, and Asgard, and the entire Nine Realms...... Yes, to this day, many things in this world are based on my lies. And all this is to escape the simple and cruel truth for eternity. I have tried to protect each and every one of my people from this beastly brother by oblivion. He's not my opposite, Thor, he's the missing piece of me. β
As soon as he raised his hand, a blue light flashed, like a lightning bolt splitting the golden space. The tomahawk seemed to have been summoned to his hand from another distant world, and a pale blue electric snake was dancing all over his body.
"He can also be killed, you just need to know that." He said, "Tomahawk, prepare for you to be king in the future." This might be a bit more of a way to increase your leverage. β
Thor took it and nodded, "I'll end everything." Whatever the outcome of the prophecy is, for better or worse, I will win this battle, along with my friends who are fighting alongside me. β
Odin turned to Michael again.
"You're different, I can see that, mortal." He said, "I have never forgotten that you are gracious to Asgard. Perhaps from your point of view, you will be unhappy with the choices I and Asgard have made......"
"I'll naturally take down the serpent, and I don't need you to say anything, Odin. But not for you, not for Asgard. "If you really feel indebted, then after defeating the Great Serpent, I need something from Asgard's hands." β
Odin narrowed his eyes and thought for a moment.
"If you can really defeat the Great Snake," he said, "then if you can do it, then anything can be done as long as it doesn't touch the Asgardian bottom line." β
"It's a deal."
