Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 145: After Crossing [Dusk]

A relief of Odin appeared in the middle of the guard of the last [Sword of Asgard]!
This is the domineering Sword of the Nine Realms!

The soul of any top-level powerful person who dies in the Nine Realms will be absorbed into the sword.

Regardless of the original owner's wishes, his soul will be completely separated and absorbed.

It's not that the Sword of Nine Realms can forcibly erase the original owner's sanity, but it uses a soul separation method, the core of which is to leave behind most of the soul's 'remnants', only the original self-consciousness is separated and completely erased.

This is why a furious giant like Surtr, after becoming a sword spirit, can only be angry but does not know who he is angry at.

The nine divine souls merged into the nine swords, which meant that the power of this set of unparalleled divine swords would be further enhanced!

Ironically, Towns couldn't find an opponent to test his sword with for a while.

Correct!
After killing Odin, the core of chaos, it was no longer convenient for Downs, the king of gods, to attack the remaining powerful enemies.

Otherwise, it would be stealing the credit from your subordinates, which is a very uncultured behavior.

Tang Si slowly descended from the sky. Just as he was watching the two giant beasts fighting in the distance, he was somewhat surprised to find his father Paul walking towards him covered in blood: "Father."

"Can I... take one last look at Odin?" Paul said.

Downs noticed that his mother Bestla, who was also covered in blood, was kneeling and sobbing not far away.

For the Aesir, transcending Ragnarok is undoubtedly an event worth celebrating and writing about.

For Paul's family, this was undoubtedly a complete tragedy - they didn't care who voted for Chaos. From their perspective, the second son poisoned the third son for power, forced the eldest son to abdicate, and finally the eldest son killed the second son.

"Dons, promise me that you won't desecrate Odin's body, okay?"

"Ah."

It is the custom of the Aesir to hang the enemy's corpse in a conspicuous place.

In the past, the eyes of the two great ancestral giants were hung near the Rainbow Bridge. In recent years, it was Njord, and more recently, it was Egil and Lan. Originally, after this battle, the enemy leader should have been replaced, but Downs replaced it with his own brother's head, which was really boring.

It seems that the only option is to replace the heads of the one eagle and two dragons. At least the heads of the giant beasts are more topical.

Tang Si had foreseen that his own gods would be busy after this war. Even if Odin's existence was not erased, his achievements in the previous wars would at least be downplayed. It was highly likely that the strokes of several major palaces such as Valhalla would have to be rebuilt, and the doctrines of the Mortal Church would also have to be overhauled.

This twilight battle that almost changed the entire world finally came to an end an hour later.

The five ferocious beasts were all beheaded.

Odin, Hoder and Vali died in battle.

Braki, the god of poetry, surrendered on the battlefield. Considering that he had killed three Chaos Frost Giants, and at the request of Eden, the goddess of youth, Downs counted his merits in killing the enemies as offset for his sins and did not punish him.

Next, the gods and giants will reward their merits.

Apart from Thor, who had the most brilliant record but could not be promoted any further, the second greatest achievement actually went to Loki.

After all, his second son Jörmungandr, his third daughter Hela, and Hela's hellhound Garm performed very well in this battle. If it weren't for these two giant beasts blocking the opponent's peerless beasts, the losses suffered by the Aesir would be estimated to be at least doubled.

Sitting on the highest throne in the Silver Palace, Tang Si narrowed his eyes and said, "Loki! I will reward you for your merits! What reward do you want? Even if you want to be the king of a world, I can agree to it."

As soon as Towns said this, the gods and giants started a commotion.

Surprisingly, there was no public opposition.

As the old saying goes, whoever has the bigger fist has the final say.

Since Tang Si obviously supports Loki, and Loki's family has proved their loyalty to the Aesir with blood and fire, there is really no way to blame them.

Even if Loki was crowned king, they would have no choice but to accept it.

Unexpectedly, Loki stepped out and bowed deeply to Tang Si. "Our family is grateful for your Majesty's care and protection. It is a great blessing for us to be able to sit on the throne. If possible, please forgive all the pranks I have played on the gods in the past, and I hope that everyone will be more tolerant of me and my children in the future. I will be satisfied."

What Loki said really broadened the path.

Not only did he gain status through his son, he also refused to take on the responsibility of being the "King of a Different Surname".

Since Towns really rewards and punishes clearly, Rocky will have secured a bright future for himself and his children.

Downs nodded: "Okay then. I'll give you some manpower, and you'll take charge of Jotunheim for me. At the same time, Jörmungandr will be made the guardian beast of the Aesir!"

Jörmungandr, who had been waiting outside the palace for a long time, bowed his head immediately to show his obedience: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your gift!"

Holy beast!
This is a complete cleansing!

It is no longer a monster in the eyes of the gods, and can even enjoy offerings from mortals in the mortal world.

As long as Jörmungandr doesn't commit suicide, he will have a peaceful life.

Tang Si then turned his gaze to Hela, who was wearing a tuxedo. "I promised you that I would give you the soul of a world king. You can pick one. Even one who has become my sword soul will do."

Hela's eyes rolled around: "Then I want the soul of the poisonous dragon Nidhogg!"

This poisonous dragon not only gnaws the roots of the World Tree, but also often goes to the underworld to devour souls and hunt corpses. The soul of this death dragon is the most beneficial to Hela.

If it was before Ragnarok, Hela would have commanded two ferocious beasts alone, and maybe Tangs would have been a little afraid of her.

After Ragnarok, that's all.

Not to mention Hela alone, even if Loki and his entire family came together they wouldn’t be able to cause any trouble.

Downs simply handed over Nidhogg's soul and exchanged Skoll's soul for the [Sword of Niflheim] as a sword soul!
After rewarding each other, the gods and those heartless giants rushed to the Palace of Joy to have a carnival party.

Only Tang Si sat quietly on the supreme throne without saying a word.

So long, so long...

Brunhilde finally couldn't help but remind him, "Your Majesty, it's time for dinner."

Downs noticed that Valkyrie was missing nearly half.

“Is the loss great?”

Brunhilde was silent for a few seconds: "Yeah."

"I'll go find Hela tomorrow and see how much I can get back, right?"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Brunhilde was not the only one who said this. All the Valkyries present knelt down on one knee in gratitude at the same time.

Not every fallen Valkyrie can be pulled back from the underworld.

This is a great war against Chaos. If the souls of those who died in the battle are seriously polluted by the power of Chaos, even Hela will be powerless to stop it.

Towns is just trying his best.

He glanced at the emptier temple, and saw that many of the thrones that were originally in the second and third rows had been removed.

There were more than 30 Aesir gods whose names were not recorded in the epics, and they were indeed the backbone of the Aesir. Their death in battle with more than a hundred giants was destined to be an irreparable loss.

In this life, Towns made arrangements half a century in advance, but the result was still like this.

Tang Si suddenly understood why the Aesir were wiped out in the epic twilight battle.
