725, Ragnarok

Odin was very honest and made it clear why he chose Goofy.

Because among the current Nine Realms, there are not many people who have the three advantages of integrity, responsibility, and strong combat effectiveness at the same time, and among them, Gao Fei has the best conditions, so Odin chose Gao Fei.

Listening to Odin's reasoning, Gao Fei scratched the back of his head and said, "If you say so, then I really can't refute it, that's right, I am indeed powerful." ”

"Hahaha......" Odin laughed, laughing so that his white beard trembled slightly.

After that, the old man suddenly asked, "By the way, have you heard of Ragnarok?" ”

"Ragnarok?" Goofy nodded, "Of course I've heard of it, I've heard it many times. ”

"Earlier when Thor and I went to the Land of Fire to deal with the flame giant Surtr, he told me the story of Ragnarok - he said that Asgard would be destroyed by Surtr one day in the future, and that he would uproot the mountains of Asgard with a greatsword, slaughter the gods, and raze Asgard's palace to the ground......"

Then Goofy pondered for a moment and said, "By the way, you also mentioned Ragnarok when you came to New York, but you talked more about Hela than Ragnarok, so I guess that the real Ragnarok was not started by Surtr, but Hela escaped from the underworld and destroyed Asgard, right?" ”

Odin smiled and said, "Yes, it seems that you know a lot about Ragnarok, but in fact, the statement of Ragnarok is inaccurate, and this statement is more one-sided. The accurate way to say this should be - Ragnarok in Asgard. ”

"Ragnarok of Asgard?" Goofy asked, "Is that the right thing to call this event?" ”

"That's right." Odin nodded.

Although it is only a limit, the difference between the two is very large.

Goofy understands this very well.

For example, in the college entrance examination of a certain year, the essay title of the language exam is "I Have a Pair of Invisible Wings", and many candidates just wrote "Invisible Wings" without highlighting the words "I have", and as a result, these candidates' essays are all off-topic, and 18 points will be deducted first.

Therefore, Ragnarok in Asgard has a completely different message from Ragnarok.

Odin then went on to explain: "The Ragnarok of Asgard does not really refer to the fall of Asgard, but to the fall of the Godhead of Asgard...... This incident is not necessarily caused by the flame giant Surtr, or by Hela, this is the fate of Asgard, a fate that cannot be avoided, even if Surtr and Hela die one after another, Asgard's Ragnarok will still come. ”

Goofy tilted his head: "That's a bit fatalistic, old man Odin." ”

"Maybe." Odin smiled, and suddenly looked at Goofy with his one-eyed eye, "Actually, in my last days, I have been wondering who will finally open Ragnarok in Asgard...... Is it Surtr? Is it Hela? Probably not ......."

"And then when I came to New York, I found the answer......

"Goofy, this person is you, you are the one who started Asgardian Ragnarok, you are the one who started Ragnarok."

"What?!" Gao Fei is stupid, old man Odin, how can you make no difference between you and me?

"I turn on Ragnarok? How is that possible? ”

"Quite simply, the fall of the Asgardian Godhead is not necessarily due to the destruction of Asgard and the taking away of Godhead, but also possibly...... Someone had inherited the Godhead in the normal way, but the heir was not an Asgardian......" Odin explained, "Do you know the source of my and Hela's abilities? Do you know where Asgard's divine power comes from? ”

Goofy nodded, "I've heard Thor say that you and Hela's divine power comes from Asgard, and Asgard's divine power comes from the power of faith in the Nine Realms. Because you first demonstrated your strength in front of the Nine Realms and protected them, the beings of the Nine Realms have a sense of respect for you. ”

"That's right, oh, I didn't expect Thor's stupid boy to know about this, it seems that I underestimated him, I thought he didn't know......" Odin didn't forget to complain about his stupid son.

After that he continued: "Yes. Goofy, our ability comes from Asgard, and Asgard's divine power comes from the admiration of the beings of the Nine Realms. This is the Godhead, the Godhead of Asgard. Our God's Domain, Asgard, is actually just a giant faith collector that can convert everyone's faith into energy, which can be continuously transmitted to me and Hela...... That is, the recipient of the faith. ”

"The whole process is done by the magic contract, which is how our power comes from, but this faith recipient is not immutable, in fact, Asgard can transmit this faith power to others at any time......"

"As long as this person meets three conditions at the same time - first, his own physique can withstand such a powerful ability without being crushed, which the Asgardians are extremely talented and can basically do, and Goofy, as an immortal, can obviously do it......"

Goofy nodded slightly.

Odin continued, "The second condition is that this man is extremely skilled in magic, and he is able to establish a contract for himself and Asgard. ”

Goofy nodded again, he could still do that.

Odin said: "The third condition is that this person must be admired by the people of the Nine Realms, and at least half of the people in the Nine Realms, that is, the people of the Five Worlds, directly worship him, so that he can become the legitimate heir of divine power." ”

"Really?" Gao Fei was stunned when he heard this, and then suddenly became enlightened.

Odin smiled and said, "When the celestial bodies converged, you slew the leader of the ice giants, the son of Laufey, and you gained the awe and admiration of the people of Jotunheim; Kill the Dark Elves, and the people of the Dark Elf world will be in awe of you; He went to the Land of Fire with Thor to kill the fire giant Surtr, and was admired and worshiped by the Fire Citizens; Travel to the Dwarven Kingdom to protect the Dwarven King from the coercion of alien warlords, and you have gained the worship of the Dwarven Kingdom; Not to mention that you are from Earth, and everyone on Earth admires you as a superhero......"

"Even without Asgard, you have already gained the support of five worlds in the Nine Realms, so Gao Fei, it is your destiny to become the next Guardian of the Nine Realms, and it is a responsibility that you cannot escape."

"The Godhead of Asgard is no longer inherited by the Asgardians, but by you, the earthling, and from now on, the Asgardians will lose their Godhead and become ordinary beings in the Nine Realms, which is the true meaning of Ragnarok in Asgard......"

"Henceforth, Goofy, you will be the new gods, and the old gods of Asgard will exist only in history and mythology."

Hearing this, Gao Fei scratched the back of his head: "Forget it, old man Odin, don't you just let me be your successor, what new gods and old gods, mysterious and mysterious ......"

"The Guardian of the Nine Realms is not a good job, this profession is very tiring, I was already exhausted and tired when I was a little policeman with a little conscience in New York, so let me be the Guardian of the Nine Realms...... Oh my God, it just tires me out. ”

Odin smiled and said, "Goofy, I know that you have the ability to become a new god, and under your protection, the Nine Realms will definitely be more prosperous than when I was here...... In addition, from now on, you will have the divine power of the entire Asgard, and your ability will become the level of Heavenly Father in one fell swoop, and even reach the level of a single universe......"

"I'm not trying to rule the universe like Hela, so what do I need to do? Besides, there are many ways to gain power, and I don't necessarily have to take this path. Goofy quibbled.

Odin frowned helplessly and said, "Goofy, do you want me to beg you to accept it?" Now that Hela has gone to Asgard, you inherit my abilities and gain Asgard's divine power is the only way to defeat Hela! If you don't, Hela could destroy the planet tomorrow! ”

Hearing this, Goofy finally nodded and said, "Hmm...... That's kind of convincing to me. Since you have sincerely requested, then I will reluctantly agree! ”

Odin is simply a black line - the divine power of Asgard, the power of faith from the Nine Realms, becoming the new god of the universe - this is the ability that many people dream of, why are you still reluctant to accept it?

If it weren't for you being my first and only candidate at present, I wouldn't have begged you to inherit my mantle!

However, before the inheritance, Gao Fei suddenly asked, "Wait, old man Odin, let's find out the situation first...... Your plan is for me to use magic to make a pact with Asgard, and then gain Asgard's divine powers like you and Hela, so that I can reach the same level of Heavenly Father as Hela and thus fight her? ”

"That's right." Odin nodded, "That's my plan. ”

Gao Fei frowned and said, "Wait, old man, don't you think your plan is a bit hasty?" Even if I gain Asgard's divine power and reach the Heavenly Father level, Hela is also a Heavenly Father level, which means that I don't have an overwhelming advantage in the process of fighting, and I may not be able to defeat her nine times out of ten......"

"Besides, my daughter Carrie has at least reached the level of Heavenly Father now, if her strength is stronger than Hela, she can be killed, then let my daughter go out of the horse and it will be over?"

"The biggest problem right now is whether it's me or my daughter, even if we can defeat Hela, the damage caused by a Father-level creature will be devastating. If we fight on the earth, then the earth will be devastated; We fight in Asgard, and Asgard will be littered with corpses......"

"It's not a perfect plan, not even two great plans. Old man Odin, the reason why you say this is just to trick me into inheriting your mantle and becoming the new god of the Nine Realms, right? ”

Although Odin had successfully deceived Goofy before, this time he failed to do so, he nodded with a wry smile and said, "You actually saw through it." ”

"To tell the truth, if you want to defeat Hela, you have to pay a certain price no matter what method you use, her strength is too strong, even if she is defeated, she will definitely be burned before she dies, and the lives around her will be destroyed. And the destructive power of her dying can ripple across an entire galaxy, so it's hard to find an open place to kill her. ”

Goofy scratched his hair depressedly: "But Odin, since you can use magic to establish a contract to pass on the power of faith in the Nine Realms to me, do you have a way...... What about using a magical contract to deprive the Nine Realms of the power of faith? Disqualify Hela from inheriting this divine power? ”

"It's possible that this method you said ......exists," Odin said, "but unfortunately I didn't know about it, otherwise I would have deprived Hela of her divine power when she betrayed me, so why wait until now?" ”

"That's right." Goofy nodded awkwardly, "But who might know about this method?" ”

"Only our Asgardian ancestor, my grandfather, Bullie. He is the progenitor of the gods, the builder of the power of faith in Asgard, and if there really is a way to deprive the gods of their powers, then only Bulli knows the right way. ”

Odin Road,

"But Buli has disappeared into the long river of history, he has become the dust and stars of the universe, he has not passed on this method, how can we find it?"

Even though the task sounded extremely difficult to do, Goofy smiled lightly.

"So as long as you find Bully, you can find a way to deprive Hela of her divine powers?"

Odin frowned and said, "Aren't you listening?" My ancestor Bulli has turned to dust, and his magic has been lost with him in the course of history......"

Goofy smiled and said to Odin: "Wait for me for a while, Odin, I may be able to find your grandfather out in the long river of history!" ”

————————

After greeting Odin, Goofy withdrew from Hell, because Odin has now turned into a soul form, and he won't survive in Hell for long, so Goofy must hurry up and fight quickly.

It can be very difficult to find Bulli in the current real-life timeline, but it is not so difficult to utilize the skills of the Goofy System.

The skill "contract" in the Mystic template allows Goofy to travel through time and space to establish contracts with magic bosses in various planes, and obtain their abilities, which gives Gao Plane Club, as the ancestor of the Asesir Protoss and the founder of Asgard, the ancestor of the gods, Bulli, must be in the contract list.

"Come on, Odin's grandfather, Thor's great-grandfather, I'm coming to you!"

Goofy closed his eyes and activated the "Contract" skill, and soon he was dressed in a black robe and made his way to the ship in the mist, and made his way through the murmuring dark waters.

"I'm here, Bullie, take care of your great-granddaughter......"

As the ship moved forward, small windows with a faint light appeared around them, and Goofy didn't have time to look at the pictures one by one, his eyes were just staring at the names under these small windows.

"Saar...... Not him. ”

"Aizel? Nor is she. ”

"Agomoto? No, no, no......"

All the way forward, Goofy goes through them one by one.

Searching for Odin's grandfather among the many names is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack, and Goofy sees that his head is big in the end.

"That's what's wrong with the system, why don't you set up an automatic search function for so many names? Or in alphabetical order, which is also more user-friendly......"

However, Goofy's suggestion did not get feedback from the system, and the human lives in the contract skills still appeared disorderly and randomly, and Goofy drove the ship to walk and watch, if it weren't for the help of the super brain, he might soon have a mental breakdown and give up the mission.

After searching for about thirty or forty people, Goofy finally found his target, and his prediction was correct, and the ancestor of Asgard was also one of the partners of the contract.

"Bulli, the ancestor of the Aesir Protoss."

When he saw this famous brand, Goofy almost cried without being moved.

"Odin and his grandfather, I've finally found you!"

He then immediately chose to use his contract skill, and the ship sailed towards the small window of Booli.

As the fog thickens and the atmosphere around him becomes more mysterious, Goofy arrives at the bow of the ship and enters the alternate dimension, where he meets Bullie, who has also entered the space.

According to the previous routine, Gao Fei guessed that the ancestor of the Aesir Protoss should not know his identity, he just used magic to enter this alien dimension, and find other people who use this magic at the same time, and establish a contract with him to share his abilities.

With the experience of the last Ancient One Mage, Goofy is already familiar with this skill.

The next thing he had to do was to disguise himself as an all-knowing and all-powerful God.

Sure enough, although Bulli was Odin's grandfather and the ancestor of the Aesir Protoss, he seemed to be a budding newcomer after entering this space, tempting and cautious everywhere.

Beyond the dense fog, Bulli saw Goofy's silhouette, he was stunned at first, and subconsciously made defensive movements, but after seeing that Goofy had no intention of attacking, he also put down the movements in his hand.

"Friends? Friends in the mist? "Booley's opening statement was a bit silly.

"Hello." Gao Fei calmly bowed his head, showing calmness.

"Oh, hello." Bullie heard the friendliness in Goofy's tone and smiled apologetically, "I'm sorry for my rudeness, I just can't be sure if you're friend or foe." Since we're all in the fog, can I infer that you've come here using magic to make a contract? Do you have the same purpose as I do, to exchange power? ”

"Nope." Goofy's voice denied in a cold voice, "I don't have the same intentions as you. Or maybe you made a mistake in casting the spell. I'm not like you, I'm here just to get your powers. I just sensed your pious calling, so I came to meet you. ”

"What?!" Bulli was surprised and shocked, "You sense my pious calling?" So come and see me? ”

Why does it sound like this guy in the fog has a very noble status?

Sensing the subtext of Goofy's words, Bulli's attitude towards him was a little more respectful.

"Excuse me, ...... you are?"

"Bulli, the leader of the Aesir Protoss and the founder of Asgard, are you?" Without waiting for Bulli to ask first, Goofy decided to strike first.

Bulli was stunned by Goofy's words, and at the same time believed his words for three points.

It stands to reason that if the other party is like him, they are spellcasters who use magic to establish contracts, then in this interdimensional space full of dense fog, both parties should not know their respective identities.

Since the other party can tell his identity, then Bulli has reason to believe that this is someone who has transcended this magic.

"Oh, the gods are above, I was lucky enough to meet you, I don't know what you call you?" Bulli hurriedly asked humbly.

"That's not a question you should ask." Goofy said sternly.

He wasn't going to make up a random name to trick Bullie, if Bulli had his name written into Asgardian mythology, it would be over.

"Oh, I'm sorry, this ...... My lord. Bulli bowed his head and apologized, "I'm ashamed of my faux pas." ”

"You really should." Goofy deliberately said in a condescending tone, "But I sympathize with your piety, and I will still help you." ”

"Say, Bully, the leader of the Aesir Protoss, what are you here today to solve?"

Hearing Goofy's inquiry, Bouli hurriedly said his question.

He used contract magic to ask for help, according to his previous expectations, he thought that he would only meet a person with similar strength to him, but he never expected that this magic crossed the level to establish a contract, and actually let him meet an all-knowing and all-powerful mysterious existence.

"Honorable lord, I have encountered some problems in the process of establishing Asgard, I have gathered the will of the entire Aesir Protoss to condense the Aesir Godhead, and stored the Godhead in the mountains of Asgard, and at the same time used the ancient magic of the Aesir Protoss to link myself with the Godhead and obtain immortal power......"

"But the population of the Aesirs is withering, and the divine power that can be provided to me is too meager, Asgard and Jotunheim are in a bitter war, I have lost to the ice giants three times in a hundred years, and I am afraid that in the long run, Asgard will be destroyed by the ice giants."

Hearing this, Goofy probably understood Bulli's situation - his divine power came from Asgard, which was consistent with Odin and Hela. And it sounds like the magic he connected to Asgard's divine power is itself the ancient magic of the Aesir gods, which is their family history.

But at present, Asgard's divine power is much weaker than that of the later Odin era - the divine power of Asgard in the Odin era is the condensation of the awe and belief of the entire Nine Realms of living beings in Odin, and the current Asgardian divine power is only the fusion of the will of the Asgardian Protoss itself.

"Asgard's divine power is weak because you have condensed the Godhead in the wrong way." Gao Fei said bluntly, "The population of the Aesir Protoss is limited, even if the strength of the entire race is only a few, if you really want to defeat the giants of Jotunheim, then you should take a long-term view, you must not only condense the will of the Aesir Protoss into a godhead, but also condense other spiritual powers......"

"For example, in the process of expanding your territory in Asgard, you must not only conquer the enemy by force, but also influence the enemy with benevolence."

"Let all beings admire you and be happy with you, and the power of faith will naturally come."

"When the time comes, condense the power of these beliefs into a godhead, collude with Asgard, and connect with yourself, then you will truly be invincible, and Asgard will be spared the danger of destruction."

Goofy spoils the way Asgard later acquired Godhead, which gives Bulli a big hint.

"Oh, sir, you mean...... Shall I expand the way I acquire Godhead, and then take Godhead from someone other than the Aesirs? It's a great way to do it, but I'm worried...... I don't have the ability. Because with my current magical attainments, I can only obtain Godhead from the blood of the Aesir Protoss......" Bulli whispered.

Hearing Booley's concern, Goofy smiled lightly: "Don't panic, I'll help you." ”
