Chapter 8: The Underworld, the Court of Odin
The Heim Underworld has always been a paradise for gods. The gods here are either fleeing, or their attributes are in harmony with the underworld, or they are the innate deities of the underworld.
It can be said that, apart from occasional disputes, most of the gods are at peace with each other and play their own games. Although the underworld is remote, there are many ghosts, and these gods will have fun with all kinds of ghosts when they are idle.
But suddenly, a solemn palace called Hades appeared in the far north of the underworld, the source of the nine rivers of Styx, and the master of Hades, the self-proclaimed god of Hades, ordered his envoys to go out and tour all parts of the underworld.
These two strange goddesses, who were so beautiful that they made the hearts of the gods palpitate, with the instructions of Hades, told all the gods that there was now a lord in the underworld, and if they wanted to stay in the underworld, they must follow the rules and regulations set by the underworld.
Fortunately, in the rules of Hades, three places are set aside for the ghosts of the underworld, murderers and other people who have done great evil stay in one place, where there are terrible punishments waiting for them, unjust ghosts stay in one place, where all kinds of souls who are unwilling to die complain to each other, and people who die of normal old age and sickness stay in one place, where there is a peaceful life.
In other words, today's gods of the underworld can't make fun of the souls of humans or other living beings. This very unreasonable rule made the gods of the underworld very dissatisfied.
Many gods and spirits ignore the rules of the underworld, and still do their own thing, how they did it before, and how they will do it in the future.
They thought it wasn't a big deal, but when the two beautiful messengers of the underworld killed dozens of gods one after another, the gods of the underworld were honest.
They had to be honest, and under the butcher's knife of Hades, they no longer dared to resist. Obedient gods can live, and the only gods who resist can only die.
From the scattered underworld, there was suddenly a law, and this law was actually aimed at the gods and protected other living beings. The good news soon spread to other realms, the atrium of the world, the land of gnomes and dwarves, the land of elves and elves, and the land of gods and giants.
No one had organized him, and Adros had not sent any priests, and the places where the mortal beings had gathered had already begun to sacrifice to him and his two oracles.
The giants were unaware of the news, they were not mortal creatures, they had the same lifespan as the gods. When they died, they did not go to the Heim Underworld, but to the Land of Fire on the other side of the Underworld, where the first ancestors of the giants were born and where all giants resided.
And the gods are even more different, they are not the same as the Egyptian gods, but they are closer to the gods of Kaos, and after death, there are few gods who can say that they can exist by soul alone. Their souls, or their physical bodies, perish together, or inexplicably disappear between heaven and earth.
But in Arthur's court, the god-king Odin has summoned all the gods of the court, and he wants to consult with the gods on how to deal with the sudden rise of the lord of the underworld.
Similar to the Olympus Divine Court in the Kaos Divine Domain, there are also twelve gods of heaven and earth in the Arthur Divine Court, and they have decision-making power over the affairs of the divine court.
Odin, the god-king, is the ruler of the sky, the ruler of the world, known as the father of the gods, in charge of war, power, wisdom, magic and death, with a strength far beyond the main god, and is one of the two masters of the divine court.
The goddess Frigga, the beautiful wife of Odin, is recognized as the most beautiful goddess among the gods, who rules the family and marriage, and shares the throne of Odin.
Thor, the god of thunder, is the son of the mysterious earth goddess Phooqin, with a burly figure and excellent arm strength, he has a pair of leopard eyes, a golden beard, and holds the most powerful artifact of the divine court, the hammer of the god of thunder.
Sif, the god of the land and harvest, is the wife of Thor, the god of thunder, and has beautiful blonde hair, but it is not the original one. Instead, after the fire god Loki pranks and cuts off her blonde hair, Thor is threatened by Thor to break the bones all over his body, and asks the dwarf to help make a wig.
Frey, the god of harvest, and Freya, the god of fertility, are the daughters of Nejord, the god of the sea, and their father and a pair of children come to the Arthur gods to build the court. However, because Nijod did not want to be under Odin in the court, he did not appear in the court, but only had one of his children appear on his behalf.
Tyr, the god of war, is the guarantor of the contract and the protector of the oath, he is a brother to Thor, the god of thunder, both sons of the Flame Giant and the Earth Goddess, but at the same time he takes refuge in the giant's enemies. And because the god of war Tyr was defeated by the god king Odin, he recognized Odin as his father.
Loki, the god of fire, is the most prank-loving deity and is loved and hated by many gods. Loki is a very casual deity who sometimes helps them solve their biggest problems, and sometimes makes them angry, as evidenced by Seaver's blonde hair. But it was precisely because of Loki's prank that the gods of Arthur's court obtained several powerful artifacts.
Odin's Eternal Spear and Thor's Mjolnir are all derived from this.
The two sons of the god king and the god of darkness, Badr and the god of darkness, are the pride of the god queen Frigga and at the same time, they are also proud of the god king Odin. These are two gods of great talent, both of whom are very handsome, and they often perform great feats in battles with giants.
Odin's illegitimate son, the child of him and the giantess Glide, and Vidal, the god of nature and forests, is among the twelve gods. This equally talented young deity can be said to be the source of all the dissatisfaction of the queen Frigga with Odin.
and the last one, Heimdall, the patron god of the divine realm, with a mouth full of gold teeth, a keen eye, and an extraordinary ear. He guards the Beafrost Rainbow Bridge, the main entrance to the Celestial Realm, day and night, to defend against the invasion of the Frost Giants. He rode a golden-maned horse and carried the horn of Oroar on his shoulder, and in case of emergency, he blew the horn of war and summoned the gods to deal with it.
······
In the Golden Palace, Odin looked at the gods below and asked them all to talk about how to deal with the new Hades.
"Hit. ”
Thor, the god of thunder, and Tyr, the god of war, are worthy of being two brothers, and their views are surprisingly unanimous, suggesting that Odin order them to go to the underworld and beat the so-called Hades first, so that he knows that the king of the gods is not so easy to be, and then decide according to the situation.
"Let's put him in Arthur's court. ”
This is the opinion of Frey, the god of harvest, and Freya, the god of fertility, who are originally foreign gods. In this divine court, their Warner Protoss basically did not have much power and status.
Moreover, if, as Thor and the God of War said, if there is a god who rises to the top, then they suspect that one day, Odin, who has no opponent, will also attack them again.
"Loki, what do you think?"
Odin squinted his eyes and asked about the most special of the gods, Loki, the god of fire. This god doesn't know where it came from, but in the battle between Odin and the giants, he helped Odin, who had not yet become a master at that time. Because of that help, Odin became brothers with Loki, and after he later opened Arthur's court, he also brought Loki, who likes to make trouble, over.
Loki grinned and said, "Hey, there are so few gods in the Arthur Divine Court, it's not interesting at all, it's time to add some fresh blood to play." ”
Although the words are not explicitly stated, Loki's meaning is clear, supporting the views of Frey, the god of harvest, and Freya, the god of fertility.
Finally, Odin looked at the queen beside him, Friggia, to know what she thought.
Frigga said calmly: "I suggest sending someone to test the strength of that Hades first, if the strength is too weak, just dispose of him casually." If he has some strength, then follow what Loki said and draw him into the divine court. After all, our real enemy is not him, and if he is strong, we have another boost. ”
Hearing his wife's words, Odin's heart suddenly moved, yes, because Nijod was unwilling to intervene, so that the battle between them and the giant had been scorched from the time when the divine court was opened, and now that a powerful god has joined, it is easier to deal with the giant.
"Vidal, the task of testing this god is entrusted to you. ”
Thinking of this, Odin gave the task to his illegitimate son, Vidal, the god of nature and forests. In fact, he is also helping Vidal, since he entered the court of Arthur, because of Friggia's dissatisfaction with him, almost no gods are willing to befriend him. This time, Vidal was also sent so that he could have a helper in the future God Court.
It's just that Odin didn't notice that after he sent out the mission, the god queen Frigga beside him had a gloomy expression. Then, her seductive eyes flickered, and she suddenly had another plan in her heart.
······
In the underworld, Adros sat in the palace he built five years ago, his mind silent, and he was studying the power of his bloodline, the power of the law, in order to combine with the current position of the Hades and help.
On the other hand, in this Divine Domain, the Primordial Gods did not have a single friend, but had two extremely powerful enemies. The key is that many of his methods have been exposed to the enemy, the power of the stars, the power of the sun and fire, the power of extreme cold, the thunder of the gods, and even the Chaos Bell and the Star Scroll are all known to them.
Adros is planning to meet them with this vest sooner or later, but how to make them unrecognizable is a problem that Adros needs to consider.
After five years of research, Adros has really researched a new kind of divine power in addition to the power of the stars, the path and the direction, or it is not a divine power, nor is it similar to the magic of Hekate and Ian, but a new kind of power.
