Chapter 196: Divergence [4/5]
This astonishing inference made Bai Mu look at the prophecy of "Ragnarok" from a broader perspective, it had already spread throughout the Nine Realms, and then collected all kinds of clues, and the more he looked at it, the more difficult it became.
If there is really a mastermind behind the scenes, consuming the energy of this group of "gods" to satisfy them or meet some kind of test, every move of the people in Asgard is probably a pawn dominated by others.
Count all the benefits he has received, he doesn't like to owe too many favors, and he has to find an occasion to remind her...... Bai Mu went back to the palace and saw Hela, who was arranging for his subordinates to prepare to kill.
"Honey, I just thought of you." Hela sat on the throne and motioned for him to come up, unfolding a map of the nine kingdoms under the World Tree in front of him, "Which one do you like best?" β
"Asgard." Bai Mu did not hesitate.
"Ambition!" Hela is still sitting on the throne of Asgard, and you dare you say that you like it the most? But she likes: "It's yours sooner or later." β
"I mean, the rest of the world is terrible!" Bai Mu said slowly, "The other realms are in a continuous heavy snowfall, and the lack of food has led to constant battles and wars. The beasts of the wilderness wander around in search of food, and people no longer forgive each other, fratricidal, father and son, and kill each other in ugly lustful competition. β
"Even Asgard, the most powerful, is in an inevitable decline. If I had to choose, it would be this placeβat least to keep me alive for a while longer, and maybe to witness the true truth of Ragnarok. β
Hela disagreed: "Ragnarok? That's just a slander against me by the world. When I execute them all, your worries will disappear. β
"No, no, it's not." Bai Mu pinched his fingers and calculated, "I've lived here for almost a month, you know that I'm proficient in the occult, and seeing the truth through appearances is my specialty." β
"What truth do you see?" Hela wondered.
He threw out the conclusion: "Behind this - all this, it is not you, me or it, not all of these appearances can be caused, the whole situation seems to have an invisible black hand, pushing everything!" β
"The ultimate purpose of the people behind the scenes is unknown, but everything you do is likely to happen as they expect it to happen, and you are making a wedding dress for someone else."
"Impossible!" Hela was still proud, "As long as I am presiding over the general trend of Asgard, even if the outside world is destroyed by the war and collapses into ashes, no one can dare to challenge my power." β
"Times are different." Bai Mu shook his head.
"Honey, you still know too little about me." Hela smiled and lifted Erlang's legs, "I don't blame you, look at the top of your head, the prosperity of the Asgardian Empire was all killed by me." β
"So times are different." Bai Mu didn't like her stubbornness very much, "You are very strong, but didn't you find that your opponent has gradually become yourself?" You are arrogant and assertive, which causes you to lose sight of the overall situation, and if you insist on going your own way, you will either collapse internally or be destroyed by external chaos. β
"What do you say about me...... It's excessive. Hela put away her smile, "I treat you as the one who understands me best, I gave you everything, and when I wanted to support it, you mocked and objected." β
"I just see better-"
"You're just a kid!" She interrupted.
"It's not interesting for you to say that, you know I'm not, I just haven't grown up yet!" Bai Mu hated being looked down upon, "But you must be a megalomaniac!" β
"Don't comment on me so much! You don't know everything at all! Hela became displeased.
"Look at you now." Bai Mu lost interest in talking, "This is not the situation I want, I can't stay any longer, I won't drill the doomed death, I cherish my own life." β
"I haven't allowed it yet." Hella has emphasized that he is her own.
"I'm sorry I don't belong to you." Bai Mu shrugged, "I can go whenever I want, out of your care for me, I will make a formal goodbye." β
After Bai Mu finished speaking, he turned around and left, there was no need to talk about it. This woman is too arrogant to listen to people, and always thinks that she has everything in the world under control, otherwise she will use force to interpret the truth.
"Come back." Hela's face pulled down, "Don't make me so embarrassed, I said it back!" β
Bai Mu walked away without saying a word.
Hela, who was sitting on the throne, kept his chest rising and falling, and then couldn't help but grab the thing next to him and smash it, and her emotions finally exploded: "I believe in you so much, I love you so much, why?" Why doesn't anyone understand me! β
She slapped the golden throne in half, and all the guards around couldn't help but bow their heads, pretending not to see, praying that they wouldn't suffer.
Hela's mood has become very bad, so isn't there anything that completely pleases her? She shouted, "Someone! I want a sword! Bring my troops! β
β¦β¦
On the other hand.
Bai Mu saw that Hela couldn't listen to persuasion at all, and she was still trying to redeem her troops to fight, most of them were helpless, she didn't know how to turn back if she didn't suffer a loss, but she was not obliged to die with her.
"Are you all ready?" Bai Mu went to the garden to meet Eden.
"It's all here." Eden packed his belongings and couldn't help but look in the direction of the palace, "I heard that the queen has been very unstable lately, and she smashes things at every turn. β
"She's sick." Bai Mu didn't bother to comment.
"You guys quarreled?" Eden outsiders can see clearly.
"I didn't ...... I guess there is. Bai Mu thought for a moment, "But what does she love now, I only do what I have to do, rescue the resources of the Immortal Palace, and leave the others to fend for themselves." β
Eden hesitated: "Perhaps...... It would be better if you told her something nice, she valued you but couldn't express it, and you drove her crazy. β
"How do you know so much again, should you be called the goddess of gossip?" Bai Mu was a little sarcastic.
"Don't laugh at me like that." Eden was embarrassed, "I bring apples to the queen every day, and I am one of the few people who can say a few words to her, and today I saw her, and her face was haggard and lost her luster. β
"I can't die." Bai Mu knows Hela's attributes, she has part of the power of death, she can't be killed in the Asgard Palace, maybe even when the twilight of the gods comes, she can live.
"I'm just talking." Eden doesn't have a good way, she doesn't dare to mess with Hela, a grumpy woman, and Bai Mu, a ghost child, knows more truths than her, and she can't fight.
Bai Mu asked her to work: "So less nonsense and more work, pack up your things and prepare to go to the earth, give you a large piece of land, let you be a female lord when the time comes, and you can pamper as many men as you want!" β
"Humph!" Eden said no, and her body was honest - she was already reviewing how earthlings lived, and she was inexplicably looking forward to it.
