Chapter 258: God-King vs. God-King
"Father of the Gods!"
With a cold face, Io questioned the high-ranking Odin, "Now, you should explain to me why you have repeatedly intervened in the internal affairs of the Empire?" As far as I know, the Empire has formed an alliance with Olympus, so correspondingly, Asgard is also indirectly friendly to the Empire, why is it aggressive everywhere! β
Odin's intact single eye glimpsed, and his gaze and Io's fierce intersection across the vast cosmic deep space, and only then did Odin retract his exquisite gaze and said lightly: "As long as you wait for a day and do not evacuate the nine kingdoms, one day will be the trouble of the henchmen of the nine kingdoms!" β
Odin regained his momentum, and Odin's power dissipated invisibly - to be honest, armed with the Eternal Spear and wearing the Destroyer's armor, Odin's coercion was no weaker than the Zeus he had seen in Olympus.
Even, Io vaguely felt that Odin was not his strongest state at the moment, and it seemed that the father of the gods still had some back hands and hole cards that Io didn't understand, otherwise, it can't be explained why Asgard has been suppressing Zeus, who dreamed of returning to the supreme position of the Nine Kingdoms, all these years, so that he has to keep trapped in Olympus, unable to move, and Io has appeared so far......
"As the Father of the Gods and Lord of Asgard!"
Here, Odin looked at Io with a warning taste: "I have the responsibility to ensure peace and order in the nine kingdoms, the son of power, the god king Zeus cannot guarantee your safety, if you really threaten the nine kingdoms......"
"The Father of the Gods is wrong to say that!"
Just when the atmosphere between the Empire and Asgard was tense and the war was about to break out, an unexpected figure was inserted between Asgard and the Empire. "Not to mention whether the son of the noble power needs to be protected or not, Olympus did not say that he meant to shelter the evil forces that endanger the nine kingdoms, so ......" is the god of commerce, and he finally rushed to the scene from Olympus.
"Hermes?" Odin's one-eyed eyes have no sorrow or joy, as if it had been decided a long time ago, and the god of business would appear.
"Great Odin!" Hermes, who was dressed in winged armor, first respectfully owed to Odin, and then faced the thousands of troops of Asgard alone, and said eloquently: "The accusations and worries of the father of the gods against my lord are unreasonable and unnecessary, Olympus has never had the intention of challenging the status of the Aesir gods in the nine kingdoms, what the gods want is to add credible and friendly forces to the peace and order of the nine kingdoms, so as to deal with more and more complex extraterritorial threats......"
"And that's exactly what these Vortil have chosen?" Odin interrupted him, glanced at Io in the spaceship, and then stared at the lonely, daring to face the god of commerce of the God's Domain army, and said unceremoniously: "After they caused so many things one after another? β
"No!" Hermes owes a debt of money, which can be regarded as an apology for refuting his opinion, and then Hermes affirms again: "As the respected son of power said, many disputes are not provoked by them, and they are only forced to fight back out of desperation, and they are actually victims......"
He raised his head and faced Odin head-on, "We can't judge from this that they are the culprits of the chaos in the Nine Kingdoms during this time!" This is unfair to them, and to the allies of the other Holy Ancient Alliances of the Nine Kingdoms! β
Odin was silent, his right hand clutching the Eternal Spear of Gungnir, and his eyes flashed with incomprehensible anger and worry. Hermes vaguely threw out that the empire is now a member of the Holy Ancient, and it is an ally of Olympus, which makes Odin's plans a little uncontrollable, after all, although the Holy Covenant has been a long, long time past, it ......
After a long time, Odin said softly: "This is what the god-king Zeus meant?" β
As soon as he bowed, Hermes neither said no, nor did he say yes, but stood calmly and looked at him calmly.
Sometimes, silence is more powerful and powerful than rhetoric. After all, it was a warning from an ancient and powerful god-king, and Odin couldn't take it seriouslyβyes, Hermes had come to stand for Io at the behest of Zeus, as if to prove that the gods had aligned themselves with the empire for the good of both sides! For the sake of peace and order in the Nine Kingdoms......
For this reason, Zeus did not hesitate to cherish (?) Athena is married (in the eyes of outsiders), which shows that Olympus is really persistent in this regard!
Therefore, the scheming and calculating like Odin, couldn't help but be silent, thinking about whether it was cost-effective to be tough with the once powerful Olympian Protoss for the sake of the empire!
ββ¦β¦ I understand. β
After a long silence, Odin finally spoke, and the father of the gods said without sorrow or joy: "Following the ancient and sacred covenant, Asgard will give the god-king Zeus such a face!" β
Hermes, who was relieved, strong on the outside and a little nervous on the inside, was relieved, and was about to say something, when Odin grabbed the Eternal Spear and interrupted him: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, Hermes of Olympus!" β
Odin stared at Io, who had been carefully watching the two sides tossing chips at each other, and said coldly: "This time, for the sake of the face of the god-king Zeus, I will not pursue the trouble and chaos he caused, but!" β
The cold and majestic divine power of thousands of Asgard guards and gods of the Divine Domain pressed fiercely against the Empire, wanting to warn the Empire and the Io people.
"Don't forget, Asgard has been watching you, Child of Power!"
Leaving such a warning word, silently, the Father of the Gods and the elite Asgard guards under his command opened the teleportation of the Rainbow Bridge and left.
ββ¦β¦β
Crackling, Io's palms were about to bleed, both the grievances of being rushed to 'help', and the anger of being cut off and threatened by Odin one after another.
Fiora on the side didn't know what to say, it can be said that although the empire decided to take root in the nine kingdoms, they knew that sooner or later, the empire would confront the Asgardian forces led by Odin. But neither she nor Io could have expected things to come so quickly and unexpectedly.
First, the Guardian of the Universe came out of nowhere, and then took this as an opportunity to pull out the radish and pull out the mud, and Olympus was also involved - the alliance (marriage) with the gods was a complete accident.
Then, Asgard's ubiquitous gaze has always been a headache for the Empire, after all, the Empire has many secrets - Io is now almost 24 hours a day with the energy force field and mind controller on, lest Odin directly attack without regard for his face.
It can be said that the situation of the empire at the moment is a mess, so it is no wonder that Fiora looked at Io with a little worry, "General......"
Taking a deep breath, Io regained his composure, and looked at Hermes, who was still smiling gently but decently, outside the battleship, and couldn't help but sneer.
Zeus, you are really willing to scheming and scheming, this is what you have thought about a long time ago, not only using marriage (alliance) to firmly tie the empire to the front of the gods, but also using the empire in front of the deep attraction from Odin, the main energy from Asgard, but the gods and Olympus are picking up the cheap behind, accumulating strength in order to rise again! End of the good intentions!
In particular, Io also thought that soon, the goddess of war and wisdom, Athena, who is known in the Nine Realms, is about to come and become the legal wife of his life...... Paralysis!
Smiling, Io uttered the words, "Hermes, why are you here?" β
