28. Compromise

At the same time that Thor and Cyber visit the Holy Arsenal of Asgard, in the mirror space, Odin and the Ancient One sit on top of the empty main hall of the Golden Palace.

The breath of the old god king is a little unstable, and the Asgardians with divine power will grow with age, and the divine power in the body will also increase, such as Odin, a powerful god king, after entering the twilight of the Asgardians, the divine power in the body has been extremely huge, and every year that passes, it is necessary to enter a week-long Odin sleep to adjust the conflict of divine power in the body.

This time, however, he was forced into the Sleep of the Gods, both physically and because of his injuries.

"I'm coming back from outside the world, and I'm bringing back news from outside the world. ”

The Supreme Mage reached out and picked up a cup of Asgard's best tea, and while sipping the tea, he said: "The existence of the Nine Kingdoms, who visited the Nine Kingdoms during the time of Boer the Great, is about to return, he has planned a rebellion in another part of the galaxy, the empire of the Cree has changed hands, they have been attached to a powerful person beyond the galaxy, and the group of interstellar pirates who have crossed the universe have also been attached to him. ”

"They are far away from us..."

Odin put the Eternal Spear on his lap, he folded his hands and looked at the Ancient One: "That's not a distance that mortals can measure, you say they're launching an expedition? Why?"

"Infinity Stones!"

Gu Yi put down the water glass and spit out the mystery: "The mysterious power from the last era, the divine stones that flow in all corners of the universe, for some reason, four of them appear on the earth, I have reason to believe... The remaining two pieces will eventually return to this special planet. ”

"Wouldn't the Elders of the Universe allow this to happen!"

Odin whispered, "Infinity Stones must be stored separately, this is the rule of this universe. ”

"But the rules have been broken, Odin, take a look with your eyes. ”

There was a hint of strength in the Supreme Mage's voice:

"I don't want to argue with you about anything, Asgard also has enough strength to reconnoiter everything I said, all I can say is that the expedition begins, time is running out, therefore, I don't think hostilities will continue, especially for Asgard ... I am at peace with you, provided that you no longer covet the Earth. ”

"Bang"

The Eternal Spear was slammed to the ground, blue lightning filled the Golden Palace Hall in an instant, and Odin's voice became grand:

"I've never coveted your world! I've said it many times, Asgard is not like the barbaric gods and demons!"

"But what you do is no different from them!"

Ancient One's voice also became stronger, the dark red reality stone wrapped around her jade-like hands, she looked at Odin, and did not give an inch: "You say you are different, then tell me the reason!Why have you tried everything to send Asgardians into Earth in these 1000 years? Why?"

Looking at the dark red liquid fluctuating, Odin's eyes revealed a trace of solemnity, he did not answer immediately, but muttered for a moment, he raised his head and looked at the ancient one:

"Well, if you want to know, but you have to swear you can't reveal it to anyone else! Not anyone! It's the most secret of Asgard's survival!"

"In the name of the Ancient One, I swear that I will not casually leak today's events to anyone unless necessary!"

The ancient one's fingers shone with the light of the oath, an existence like them, each of which was bound by the power of the underworld, after the oath was completed, Odin breathed a sigh of relief, the lightning light of the Eternal Spear retracted into nothingness, he sighed, and whispered:

"1300-1500 years ago, you would have been an apprentice... If you've lived through that era, you've probably heard of one of my generals... Goddess of Death, Hela. ”

"Well, 1,500 years ago, it was supposed to be the last expansion of Asgard, and 1,300 years ago, you started a war that nearly destroyed human civilization... If that's the incident, then I remember it very well. ”

Ancient One's eyes became strange: "Didn't Hela die in battle? It is said that it was when he was resisting the invasion of the frost giants, and I remember that my mentor also participated in that battle, and he saw Hela killed... Wait, you mean, the opponent in that battle was not the defeated Frost Giant, but Hela? She didn't die, she was sealed on Earth?"

The Supreme Mage's voice grew deeper and deeper, and her momentum rose to the extreme in an instant, and the dark red Reality Gem formed a brilliant wing behind her, making her look like an angry god:

"How dare you do this! Seal an Asgardian who wields the power of death on Earth! Ah, you're not like them! They just want to return to Earth, and you... You're trying to destroy it completely!"

"No! I don't want to do that!"

Odin's voice was full of pain: "The rumors do not match, Supreme Mage, Hela is not just my general, she is my daughter... No father would want to make such a painful decision, and we are forced to do so, and... She is not sealed away on Earth. ”

"Her desire to conquer swelled to the point that even I could not suppress it, she longed for death, she enjoyed death, and in the midst of victory after victory, she was finally swallowed up by the darkness of her ego, and set off a rebellion against the king of the gods, trying to control Asgard, and in a great battle in the Norse ice field, I paid the price of the total destruction of the Valkyrie to seal her in the abyss. ”

The king of the gods stretched out his hand and put it on his forehead, and his voice became low and bitter:

"But it was too late, and she had linked her soul to the Asgardian being, and she would never fall unless Asgard was destroyed... I'm old, and if she returned to Asgard, no one would be able to stop her, and we could have had 1,000 years to slowly weaken her, but because of you!Supreme Mage!because of your brutal expulsion, we lost all opportunities!1,000 years!That seal hasn't been maintained for 1,000 years..."

Odin's one-eyed eye flashed with helplessness:

"She could break the seal at any moment, and the earth... Earth is just an exit from that seal, and we could have sat down and talked about it sooner, but you! every time you show up, you attribute my good intentions to invasion, every time! You tell me, in this case, what else can I do but join forces with them to overthrow you?"

After saying this, the Supreme Mage's anger also turned into a little embarrassment, frankly, she did never give Odin a chance to explain, but after the war of the gods that almost destroyed human civilization 1300 years ago, she lacked any kind of affection for these gods.

From an earthling's point of view, she doesn't feel like she's doing anything wrong.

"So, all your actions are for that seal?"

Gu Yi breathed a sigh of relief, she closed her eyes and whispered, "Where is that seal?"

"Beneath the sea near the Norwegian ice sheet, if the terrain hasn't changed much in 1,000 years, it would be in that frozen ocean. ”

Odin's voice calmed down: "We should never be enemies, we have no idea of conquering Midgard, I am not my father, I don't demand that all my subjects submit to me, I just want you to give Asgard some special treatment, the seal needs to be re-strengthened every hundred years... If Hela breaks the seal, the first one to be destroyed is Asgard, but the second is definitely Midgard, whose character I know best. ”

"Is Earth really just an exit for the seal?"

The Supreme Mage was obviously a little suspicious, and Odin waved his hand and whispered: "The location has been told to you, you can check it out for yourself, as a king, I don't need to deceive you in this matter, we have fought so many battles of life and death, you and I already know each other, don't we?"

"To be honest, I don't quite believe that the King of the Gods would be so open and honest. ”

Gu Yi said softly: "I thought you would resist to the end, and I need to beat you up again before you realize the seriousness of the matter..."

"If I were 1,000 years younger..."

Odin clenched his fists a little unwillingly: "If I am young enough, how can I tolerate such an unstable factor as you in my kingdom!"

Reconciling two rivals who have been enemies for almost 1,000 years is not an easy task, and in fact, the conversation between Odin and the Ancient One is full of gunpowder, but both sides remain restrained.

As Odin often said, a wise king will never see war as the only way to solve problems, and they all know when to be tough and when to retreat.

"I'll pick the right person to do it. ”

Gu Yi thought for a moment, she stood up and said softly, "Since it is sealed on the earth, let the earthlings solve it... Earth is an eventful time for too many Asgardians to enter it..."

"Let's just get it straight, I'm not worried about letting you deal with this! There has to be an Asgardian to oversee this! This is my final bottom line!"

Odin's compromise is not without a price, as a king, doubt is the basis of his character, especially in this matter related to the survival of Asgard, he can't leave everything to the ancient one, even if the Supreme Mage does everything from the safety of the earth, but the necessary precautions are indispensable, and after thinking about it, the ancient one felt that this request was quite reasonable, so she nodded:

"Yes! I think Prince Thor is a good fit. ”

A faint smile also appeared on Odin's majestic face:

"It seems that we have finally come to an agreement, and I think so, that this is the heavy responsibility he will have to take on as the future King of Asgard. ”

On the other hand, Saul had no idea that another heavy burden had been placed on him in this short conversation, and he was so happy that the drunken prince and the generals were carrying their bottles and shouting to their new friends who were galloping on the grass in front of him:

"Aha, it's a little shy, it's a little grumpy, but you're going to love it, I swear!"

"Horses, run!"

Cyber held the reins of the horse in his hand, he rode on a black war horse, this guy compared to his counterparts on the earth, it was like the difference between a tank and a bus, from the cultivation of the Asgardian royal family, this winged war horse was extremely unruly, it galloped like a gust of wind on the grass of the Aesir Domain, it beat wildly, trying to throw off the knight on its body.

"Fly! Fly! Let me see you spread your wings!"

Cyber's mood is so relaxed, no matter how good the car is, it is a pile of steel, it has no soul of its own, and the war horse is always the most eternal romance of men.

"Restored"

The black horse rushes to the cliff at the front of the meadow, this is its last trick against the knights who try to tame it, the cowards will always scream in fear when they fall, only the truly brave can truly possess its soul.

"Huh"

The Celestial War Horse leaped from the edge of the cliff and carried Cyber into the abyss of stars below the Asgardian Grassland, Sai Bo had no fear on his face, he put his hands around the neck of this black war horse like a true Asgardian warrior, and whispered in its ear:

"Will you fight me on the battlefield?Little darling, I promise, you will be a legendary character, and you will be praised by the world through the ages! I will take you through all the battlefields, in the name of Cyber Hawke, I swear, I will do it!"

The black Pegasus' spiritual eyes glanced at him, and in the faster and faster descent speed, Cyber was undaunted, and the wind blew his hair, making his double eyes shine, and the horse finally lowered its head slightly, and the next moment, its black wings exploded in the sky, like a real meteor that was rampaging across the sky.

Amid the stars of Asgard, Cyber's cheerful voice resounded in the sky:

"Fly, fly, Wakagen, take me to the end of the world! I am the king of the world!"
