Chapter 232: The Ancient One's Arrangement
Raul and Surtr, who fled back to their territory, did not expect that a natural disaster would fall on them in the sky. With sufficient interests, Mephisto has been active enough, and he, who has just supported a group of demons, has begun to ask Odin when he will make a move, and this time he can play in person.
Fail?
Mephisto had never thought of such a thing.
Except for a very small number of demon gods, most of them are loners. Although Odin, they are not pure dimensional demon gods, but since the other party has failed once, it means that the strength of the other party is not so strong compared to their small group.
Bullying the soft and fearing the hard.
Sit on both sides of the hedge.
This is also one of the skills of the dimensional demon god.
Mephisto is now thinking about quickly erasing the hidden dangers, first let his energy bank develop a big business, and officially make a show in the dimensional demon god.
The interest group discussed and discussed the goal of the Abyss Energy Release, the number of Demon Gods in the first batch, and the planning process, etc., and finally only determined a framework.
Mephisto, who was in high spirits, was very unhappy. He felt that Odin and the ancient one or two were completely paddling on such an important matter, even if there were a lot of things to deal with at home, what would matter? There's still a bomb in his house, and he's not in a hurry!
However, Luke still persuaded him to see if he could seal the abyss energy in the other party's house, and what the sealing effect was. Otherwise, they will discuss flowers here, and when the technology will not reach home, and the seal will not be in place, won't everything be in vain? Forcibly getting on the horse, it is also easy to play smashed.
Mephisto agreed.
Odin wanted to ask: Can Nidavile be rescued again? If the World Tree's energy cycle were to be hit again, Asgard and the entire Nine Realms would also be affected.
Mephisto protested strongly against Odin's request. Malekith and Nidavile are important components of the plan, so how can you ignore the plan's demands? What's wrong with sacrificing for the group? Anyway, Nidavile has become an abyss, and it is regarded as waste.
Odin is the Mephisto who is too lazy to object, and it is not his hellish dimension that is deeply infected. If Luke hadn't come up with a solution, then I'm afraid it would be Mephisto who was so angry that he jumped because of the abyssal energy.
Luke, who asked Odin, said that the future is uncertain for the time being, but for now, it is the same sentence: There is no help, wait for death.
The Hell dimension is only a handful of demon infections, and Mephisto also discovered it early, so everything is still under control. Nidavile is different, it is directly connected to the abyss dimension, and the dimensional holes are still there. The abyssal energy pouring out of the cave has almost infected Nidavile deeply, especially since the other party has already generated an abyssal consciousness. The level of infection is not the same as that of the Hell dimension.
Besides, if you can't solve the problem of the dimensional hole, even if you clean up the seal, it's useless. It's nothing more than treating the symptoms but not the root cause, and it's just a cycle.
The energy in the abyss dimension is extremely easy to use, but the sequelae are a bit tricky. It's a bit like dropping a bomb for a while, but the radiation is strong in the aftermath. Haven't you seen a dead planet that has been mutated by a high concentration of excess abyssal energy in a short period of time? If nothing else, the creatures inside are also infected and mutated.
Now Nidavile, even Mephisto is reluctant to come close, let alone enter it.
However, looking at the depressed Odin, Luke's little morality and conscience still stinged, after all, this scene seemed to be caused by him. So under the encouragement of that little morality and conscience, Luke kindly reminded Odin.
Nidavile is definitely gone, but isn't there still a heavenly kingdom banished? After all, it was part of the World Tree earlier. Pulling in again will not be rejected by the energy of the World Tree, and will even be gladly re-accepted.
One less Nidavel, one more heavenly realm. Nine Realms or Nine Realms Not? Wait for the energy to come into a big cycle, slowly recover, and sooner or later it will return to normal.
Odin instinctively resisted Luke's reminder, but it was only for a moment that he pressed this resistance back.
In his rage, he exiled the Heavenly Realm and stripped the other party out of the energy cycle of the World Tree, because he thought that the other party had snatched and killed his daughter. But then it turned out that there were many accidents and misunderstandings.
Of course, if you let Odin bow his head at that time, then he would not be able to do it. After all, the two sides are hostile and at war, as the victor, how can he, bow his head and admit his mistake to a loser? Especially in this loser, he still deeply hates himself and Asgard.
But now, the queen of the heavenly kingdom seems to have died at the hands of Luke's creation, and the remaining high angels brought out by the queen of heaven have been wiped out in Nidavile, not to mention the total army, but also suffered heavy losses, leaving only two or three big cats and kittens. The power of the Heavenly Realm is unprecedentedly low, even weaker than it was after being stripped out of the World Tree's energy cycle.
In this case, if the remaining angels of the heavenly kingdom are willing to submit to Asgard and obey his Odin's orders, then it seems that it is not impossible to pull the heavenly kingdom back to stabilize the foundation of the World Tree's successive wounds?
After all, if you want to strengthen the World Tree now, so that its energy cycle will not continue to fall and decrease, Luke's proposal is the best proposal at the moment. The new energy does have a purpose for increasing the energy of the World Tree, but if Luke agrees to make up for the loss of the World Tree with the new energy, the other two will not agree. What's more, this method takes time, and pulling back to the heavenly realm will produce results even faster.
Thinking so, Odin nodded slowly.
"I'll let the negotiators of Asgard speak with the remaining angels of the heavenly kingdom. If they are willing to let go of their hatred, then Asgard welcomes them back to the embrace of the World Tree as one of the new Nine Realms. A kind smile spread across Odin's face.
"In fact, they've already submitted their surrenders." Luke coughed twice, his eyes a little wandering, and he looked up at the starry sky in the conference room, as if there was something on it that attracted him deeply.
Hearing Luke's words, Odin's heart instinctively sensed something wrong. His intact one-eyed eyes stared at Luke, who was looking up intently at the ceiling of the conference room, and said in a slow tone, "Asgard and I have not received the letter from the angels. ”
"They handed it to me. My creation, to be exact. Luke withdrew his gaze, looked at Odin, and spread his hands.
"The creature that killed the Queen of Heaven?" Odin thought of the muscular, dark, old-faced, silent and powerful creature that subconsciously softened a little. I'm afraid of him, but I'm afraid that guy will rush to Asgard and summon the abyss when he fights, then he will be like Malekis, scolding his mother like crazy.
He would rather lose the kingdom of heaven to Luke than the creature step into Asgardian territory! That is the true source of the abyssal energy diffusion!
Anyway, the Nine Realms have never really surrendered to him, surrendered to Asgard, an angelic race that has suffered heavy losses in strength, and is regarded as a prisoner of transfer. As long as the energy circulation of the Nine Realms can return to normal.
"Yes. Their last survivor was given the protection of Luke Light. Luke did not hide it, and after explaining the ins and outs of what happened to Odin, he said that the price of his attack and the negotiated remuneration would be offset by the angels of the angel kingdom. The deposit given by Odin before, he can return the point first, or directly go to the incremental order to replenish.
Odin couldn't help grinning, it was the war factor that there was a shortage of craftsmen before, so he gave Hebolen a part of the technology and profitable orders for extraordinary equipment, but now that the big war is over, all that remains is a small battle of some stragglers, the tense situation and situation in Asgard have been greatly eased, and the demand for these much-needed extraordinary equipment and healing supplies has naturally eased. Luke's behavior of making up the deposit with incremental orders is undoubtedly a trick in Odin's eyes. But Odin didn't care. Wasn't it because they had lucrative and visible benefits at the beginning of their group that they could take advantage of each other?
In terms of giving, Luke, who had given up a portion of the new energy authority, sacrificed even more. After all, the foundation of their small group is built on Luke's new energy.
Concept giving.
What a terrible talent.
Odin muttered in his heart. One of those present counts as one, who hasn't had the idea of a new energy source in their hearts? The mind is clear, but the technology is in Luke's hands. So although it seems that Luke doesn't take anything seriously, he is the core who has mastered the technology.
This was the end of the meeting.
Odin went back to supervise Thor and they dealt with Asgard's complicated affairs, Mephisto also needed to go back to the Hell Dimension to prepare, receive Luke's technology and sealing equipment, Luke's burden is heavier, he needs to prepare and manufacture equipment, and all subsequent plans to advance and implement are based on the premise of whether his technology can succeed.
But in this regard, neither Odin nor Mephisto has any doubts about Luke's technical ability and manufacturing ability. After all, strictly speaking, abyssal energy is also a kind of extreme attribute of new energy. Although it may be seriously mutated.
……
"It's time for me to retire." Ancient One and Luke walked side by side, fluttering along.
"Do you see your own death again?" Luke raised an eyebrow, he had also studied the energy of the Time Stone, although it was very restrictive, and he couldn't play with the Ancient One and Stephen Strange in the later period, but it was still no problem to apply it in combination with the data dimension. The Ancient One once told him about his death.
"No, it's just that I think Stephen Strange is more suitable for the current Supreme Mage. Whether it's in cooperation with you, or in leading the mage into a new future. Gu Yi's tone was calm.
"We still need the power of the Ancient One, you." Luke said sincerely. If you're leaving, you'd better take that old man Odin with you.
"I didn't say leave, I just removed the position of Supreme Mage. But you can arrange me a place in the energy bank, of course, it's better to be idle. The Ancient One shrugged. If it weren't for Luke, she would most likely have left the universe to wander. But Luke shows her a new possibility, as if a new timeline has been carved out on the existing timeline, and the future becomes unknown and exciting. She also wants to see where her future can go in this universe, and where Luke can go? Where can they, the unprecedented and fragile trust of the Demon God Group, go?
"So, is there something I need to work with?" Luke immediately understood why the Ancient One had stayed behind to say these words to him.
"Just a small idea." Ancient Yi smiled: "What do you think of Dormammu?" ”
"The lord of the dark dimension? Did you choose him? Luke asked.
"You have to let him suffer a little more in order to be honest. Mage Strange: They also need to go through a little bit of trials and tribulations. "Ancient one.
"I see. What do I need to do? Luke had no problem with the Ancient One's arrangement, he vaguely guessed the Ancient One's intentions, but he did not intend to stop and oppose it. Even if something really went wrong in the end, there would still be him and Gu Yi, and it was really impossible to directly drag Nidavile over and stuff him into the dark dimension.
"I don't need you to do anything, just don't help." Gu Yi: "I know this is a bit of a counterintuitive, but it just so happens that the Hell Dimension can give you a reason to be absent. When the time comes, I will tell the mages that you are not here, but that you are going to the Hell Dimension or the Nine Realms to deal with some important things. ”
"I can do it all." Luke nodded. Of course, he wouldn't actually go to the Hell Dimension, but it would be okay to hide in his own Silent City, or somewhere else, to temporarily disconnect from some people. Silent City can also switch to defensive mode at that time, denying entry to those who do not have high clearance.
"Could it be that the mage lineage still has a deep connection with the demon gods of other dimensions?" Luke finally asked.
"The connection between the mage and the dimensional demon god is far deeper than you think. There is no turning back for many mages. Gu Pao paused and added: "Although the new energy also has certain consequences, compared to the power from some dimensional demon gods, the security and autonomy are still higher. After the mages have enjoyed and verified the existence of the new energy, the closely connected dimensional demon gods behind it also have a certain probability of knowing. It's hard to say that they won't be interested in it. After all, the demon god's pursuit of power is like the pursuit of power and money by humans, greedy and never satisfied.
I didn't care about what was behind them, but Strange couldn't. I can help him clean up when I finally leave. ”
