Chapter 21: The Intruder

"As a member of the Nine Realms, I Siegfried have an obligation to protect my homeland and the peace of the Nine Realms from the ravages of evil frost giants." Holding the sword to his chest, El proclaimed his will to Odin.

As if in appreciation, Odin said with a little joy, "You are a true warrior. ”

In a world where individual force is at its maximum, the decapitation tactic becomes practical and efficient. It can be said that as long as the leader of the other party is killed, it can be said that more than half of the battle is won.

But at this time, Odin's time to become the god king was still too short, although he was talented, he was still weaker than the more talented Laufey, the king of the frost giants, Laufey can be said to be the first person worthy of the name in the Nine Realms now. So, Odin gave up one eye and gained great power. But even with the power contained in the Fountain of Wisdom, Odin was not sure of victory. After all, Laufey still has in his hand an artifact Ice Box that can be on the same level as Gungnir.

As the treasure of Jordan Heim, the Ice Box can be said to be a strategic weapon, and the cold air it emits can increase the strength of the Frost Giants on the battlefield, and the endless frost on the Great Plains battlefield is the primary application of the Ice Box. But the greatest power of the Ice Box is not amplification, but destruction.

When the Ice Box is fully unleashed, a breath of dead silence sweeps across the earth and sky, freezing everything, even time and space, creating a permanent exile.

As a result, the civilizations destroyed by the Frost Giant can be said to be countless, and in the past, the civilizations targeted by the Ice Box were invaders outside the Nine Realms, but this time it was Asgard within the Nine Realms, which gave Odin a headache. For now, only one blow will be delivered to the enemy when Laufey is ready to use the Ice Box, otherwise the Aesir Protoss will be defeated.

"Ziggy, I need your help." Odin said to El solemnly.

"Now that I've decided to help Asgard win, I'm going all out."

"That's great."

Odin had a plan for a long time, and even in the plan for El, he had already had El's combat position. This worries El, and he is deeply jealous of the abilities of the three goddesses of fate, who occupy a large part of Norse mythology.

In European mythology, in addition to Christianity, which worships a monotheistic religion, there is a shadow of the goddess of fate in other myths. They weave prophecies for the future, and neither the promiscuous Greek gods nor the valiant and warlike Norse gods will despise their words.

But what is different is that the Greek gods tried to avoid the prophesied future, such as Kronus eating his children and Zeus eating his wife Metis; This was not the case with the Norse gods, who embraced and enjoyed the prophecy, and one of Odin's favorite things is said to be focusing on the life of a legendary hero.

The Norse gods believed that prophecy was inevitable, but they were optimistic that the destruction would be followed by a new life. But it is precisely because of this that El is very jealous of Odin. To be able to win the war of the Nine Realms and maintain this advantage for thousands of years is not something that can be achieved by mere valiant and belligerent.

Odin is undoubtedly a ruthless man, cruel to others, and even more ruthless to himself. In order to obtain the wisdom of the fountain of wisdom, he resolutely plucked off one of his eyes.

In the poem "Song of the Sage", it is written: "Nine nights hung on a tree that was swaying in the wind, and was stabbed with a spear; I was sacrificed to Odin as a sacrifice to myself, on a tree that no one knows! There is no bread to satisfy hunger, no drop of water to quench thirst. I looked down, picked up the rune text, shouted as I picked it up, and fell from the tree."

This is a decision that neither Zeus, the god king of the Greek gods, nor Nijod, the leader of the Warner gods, can make easily.

Every part of the Protoss is indispensable, once a part of the body is lost after becoming a god, it will never be recovered, which also means that this god will also lose his perfect divine body, the mutilation of the divine body will not only lead to the decline of the ability but also make it be forever ridiculed by other gods, isn't Hephaestus, the god of fire of Olympus, often discriminated against and ridiculed in the Greek Protoss because of his lameness?

And Odin is also the god-king of a clan. However, despite the loss of an eye, Odin's strength did not increase but decreased, and he obtained the Rune Rune and the Spear Gangnir that could improve his Protoss, and was more revered by his people.

And there is another huge difference between Norse gods and other gods, that is, the strong man is king. Odin's ability to become a god-king means that Odin is the strongest existence in this generation of Aesir, unlike Hades, the strongest eldest brother in the Greek generation of gods, who will become the most unpopular king of Hades, but the weakest Zeus has become a god-king. With such wisdom and courage, Eldin would not have thought that Odin simply wanted to participate in this war.

"As a thank you for your help, please accept the gift of Asgard!" Odin then continued.

Hearing Odin's words, El smiled bitterly in his heart, "If you want to take it, you must give it first!" ”

The words of the ancestors, Elk has never forgotten. But now that El was on the thief ship, and starved the cowardly, El said to Odin resolutely: "Thank you very much for your generosity! Then I gladly accepted it. ”

"That's good! The war is urgent, so gather our comrades! Odin took out a sheepskin scroll and threw it to El, then took out a small trumpet from his bosom and blew it.

With the sound of the trumpet, apparitions emerged from the camp. According to later mythology, El recognized several people, one was Heimdall, the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge with pure white eyes and a helmet with golden horns, and his eyes were said to be the soul gems of one of the cosmic gems; There are also two people who are very similar to Odin, and they are supposed to be Odin's brothers.

Then there was the cold woman who had led El here. But there are still two remaining people who don't know each other.

After Odin's introduction, El was shocked to learn about them. The cold woman was Brünnhilde, the original target of El's visit; The one holding a big sword in his hand is Tyr, the real god of war in Northern Europe, and the most surprising thing for El is that Brunhilde and Tyr turned out to be the eldest son and eldest daughter of Odin, which made El a little puzzled, because there were no two people in later generations, and there were no legends.

If these two men only surprised El, then the remaining one simply turned El's worldview upside down, and Odin's introduction to that person was: "My good friend - Kratos." ”

Originally, El only thought it was the same name, but with the iconic tattoo and the Blade of Chaos, you really think I haven't played Soul of Sparta! With this master, playing Lau Fei is not the same as playing, but El also knows that this is a real world, and Kui Ye may not be so perverted. Well, probably!
