Chapter 135: The Great Limit
As he spoke, Odin's face suddenly turned pale, and the .l solution was extremely conspicuous.
Thor and the others outside the glass cylinder were all high gods, and almost at the same moment, they sensed the rich divine power pouring out of Odin's body.
This Asgardian Heavenly Father, who once suppressed the Nine Realms, was no longer able to restrain his divine power, which shows how bad his physical condition is.
Maybe in the next second, he would sit on the spot, crumbling and dissolving into a cloud of light composed of pure divine power.
The queen of heaven Frigga is worthy of being a strong woman who once assisted Odin in the Quartet, quickly calmed down and notified Dr. Harry Quinn through the communication device. And Harley Quinn didn't dare to slack off, and asked Li Ang to come and check.
A moment later,
"Hmm....."
In the room, Leon, who was wearing a long-lost white coat, withdrew his four-dimensional gaze, and said to Odin with a frown: "Your physical condition is not optimistic..."
The family members standing on the side immediately became nervous, in their perception, Leon was almost the most powerful and all-powerful mortal life in this universe.
If even Leon can't solve Odin's problem, then His Majesty the King of Asgard may also be sentenced to death.
Birth, development, and death, all living beings in the world cannot escape from this cycle, and even if they are as noble as gods, they have to succumb to the fiddling of fate.
Thor's face tensed, and he looked at Odin's eyes full of sadness and sorrow, and even Loki's face flashed with a trace of grief.
As the world's hottest idol, Rogie recently became a publicity ambassador for the Planetary Defense Council Committee, traveling around the world and calling on the public to support the committee's work.
Loki, who broke away from the sexual disorder, was "corrected" by her originally withdrawn and paranoid nature. In addition, as a publicity ambassador to travel around the world, she intuitively felt human emotions.
Loki, who knows the emotion, has made up for the missing parts of her personality, and she has a little more understanding of Odin, the "adoptive father", and is no longer as full of resentment as before.
The men and women of the family wept, and in the last stage of his life, Odin, who saw everything, seemed to be much more relaxed, and even began to explain the aftermath calmly and indifferently.
Like Asgard's secret passage, the underlying code of the Rainbow Bridge, the way the Wisdom Tree wakes up, and so on.
These words should have been addressed to Thor, if Odin might have pretended to have a fair match between Thor and Rogie in order to pick out the "real king".
And now, Loki has turned into Loki and has lost his strong claim to the kingdom,
Jotunheim and Asgard have also been reduced to colonies of Earth or Leon, and they are no longer the glory, pride and glory of their original isolation, so naturally there is no king dispute.
Odin explained the aftermath with a flat face, which made the relatives on the side sad.
The queen of heaven Frigga subconsciously grabbed the shoulders of her eldest son and asked, "Your Excellency Li Ang, my husband, is there still any salvation?" ”
"Save?" Li Ang shook his head and said indifferently: "Aging and death is a normal physiological mechanism that automatically evolves from living organisms.
If you can't talk about illness, how can you use the word 'rescue'? ”
“....”
The queen of heaven Frigga was silent, she and Odin supported each other for a thousand years, and at this time, she watched her husband go into decline, and mourned more than the death of her heart,
But the unique intuition of women made Frigga notice the slight expression on Leon's face while grieving, and brought up the last glimmer of hope, and asked, "Your Excellency Leon, you must have a way, right?" ”
As soon as these words came out, Thor and Rogie hurriedly turned their heads, and even Odin, who was huddled in the glass column, raised his head.
"What's the way... You can say yes, you can say no. ”
Li Ang slowly straightened up his white monster, and said casually: "Tell me, what do you think is the essence of aging?" ”
“....”
The Odin family stared wide-eyed.
The simpler and broader the question, the wider the range of answers.
A mere "essence of aging", not to mention that the Earth or the Asgardians have not figured it out, even if scholars from all over the galaxy gather together to discuss it for countless years, I am afraid that they will not be able to give a specific answer.
Philosophy, physics, chemistry, biology, can all answer the question of "aging". And as the academic field is further subdivided, the answers given will become more complex.
Fortunately, Leon didn't think about letting Odin's family give an answer, and said to himself: "In the last century on Earth, Sir Peter Medava wrote the book "An Unsolved Biological Problem", which pioneered the study of aging in modern humans.
He believes that there are two explanations for the aging phenomenon of living organisms.
The first is 'natural aging', that is, in the process of evolution, in order to free up survival resources for the younger generation, the mechanism of aging and death is produced.
Under this explanation, the most well-known theory is the 'Telomere Theory', which shortens telomeres after cell separation, and accelerates the shortening process after cell damage.
With telomeres, which can only be short but not long, there is the Hayfrick limit, which determines the upper limit of cell division, and there is aging.
In short, this interpretation is to say that living organisms are 'voluntarily aging and dying'
The second explanation is the 'wear principle'.
The living body exchanges substances with the outside world, that is, the natural metabolism.
During the metabolism of mitochondria, free radicals are produced and DNA is damaged. If the cells are damaged and cannot heal on their own, they are induced to 'commit suicide' and be replaced by stem cells.
But this loss is a positive feedback loop, or vicious circle, which can be referred to here.
This interpretation is that living beings 'have to die if they don't want to die'. ”
Friggia's brain is not slow, as the agent of the goddess group, she must know more about everything on the earth, for this reason, this diva who loves to learn has collected a lot of learning materials, and began to study systematically in every detail.
You must know that Rogie's magic was learned from Frigga, who symbolizes the highest level of magic in Asgard, and it doesn't take long to learn the knowledge of the earth, so she can naturally understand what Leon said.
"Your Excellency Li Ang, I understand what you said."
Frigga glanced at Thor and Odin, who were still in a state of bewilderment, and said to Leon with a wry smile: "Although the Asgardians are very different from the earthlings, they are both carbon-based lifeforms, and they can use these theories to explain the causes of aging.
It's just that Odin's current situation is not a question of whether he wants to die or not, but that the divine body is on the verge of limiting..."
"Hehe, you're too anxious."
Li Angwan smiled and said indifferently: "In response to the possibilities revealed by these two explanations, I led the team of the medical regeneration department to trace the origin and propose a solution.
What if I could 'convince' Odin not to die? ”
