Saint Seiya Evil Skull

Chapter 178 Odin Bleeding from All Seven Orifices

Deep within the Asgard Palace, Alberich, immersed in his cultivation, was exploring the power of his own microcosm when suddenly, an indescribable strange feeling washed over him. It was as if an invisible hand, transcending endless time and space, was slowly reaching towards him.

Albelisi instantly became alert, his hair standing on end. He knew full well the unusual nature of this mysterious power, and without hesitation, he mobilized the vast cosmic energy within his body, concentrating the power of his spiritual consciousness. Then, he launched a sudden strike forward, fiercely impacting the extended timeline.

At the same time, in the magnificent palace of Asgard, Odin, seated on his majestic throne, suddenly opened his tightly closed eyes. Instantly, he felt a wave of pain sweeping over him, first a stinging pain in the corner of his eye, and then a warm liquid gushed out of his mouth and nose.

In the blink of an eye, bright red blood began to flow from the corners of Odin's eyes, mouth, and nostrils, a shocking sight. Then, as if unable to suppress the pain surging within his body, Odin opened his mouth and, with a "wow," gushed out a large mouthful of blood, a crimson mist filling the air.

If Arubelisi was there at the time, he would have been amazed at the sight. "Old man, what on earth did you do? How could you be in such a mess? Even bleeding from all seven orifices!"

After spitting out a mouthful of blood, Odin's face turned pale as paper, his once piercing single eye now bloodshot. He gasped violently, each breath coming with immense difficulty, as if he had just experienced a life-or-death battle. This clearly showed the depth of the damage this attempt to peer into the past had inflicted on him!

It's a true saying: kill one thousand enemies, lose eight hundred of your own. Although Odin paid a heavy price for this, the enemy's strength was clearly not to be underestimated. Just as he was about to clear the fog and see the past hidden deep in time, he was met with a fierce counterattack.

With a resounding thud, Odin's extended "tentacle" of time was forcibly knocked back like a fragile branch struck hard. Furthermore, the powerful recoil force was transmitted along the tentacle to Odin, further exacerbating his already injured body.

Arubelsi on this side was not in a good situation either. Although he had the geographical advantage and launched a surprise attack when the opponent was off guard, successfully dealing a heavy blow to the opponent, the aftermath of the fierce collision of their spiritual consciousness was truly astonishing.

Even with Albelis's fortitude, he still felt dizzy and even had a streak of crimson blood at the corner of his mouth. However, compared to Odin in the distance, his condition was much better.

"Damn it! No one else can do such harm to me from such a long distance except that old bastard Odin. I almost forgot that he has the power of prophecy. This time I almost fell into his trap!" Albelisi gritted his teeth and cursed viciously in a low voice.

"Damn it! The other party actually discovered me in advance. They were just a little bit away from seeing me. Damn it!" The God King Odin was also full of regret.

Odin put in all his efforts and tried his best for this prophecy. Not only was he seriously injured, but he also failed to obtain even the most crucial information.

If it weren't for his keen perception, realizing that the final prophetic location was in Asgard, he would have suffered a huge loss.

"Hmph, it seems that Asgard's group of ignorant gods have really grown wings now. They even dare to openly defy their master!" Odin thought.

Although it is not clear who killed Loki and Hodr, since the incident happened in Asgard, there is no doubt that it must be closely related to those self-important gods in Asgard.

Before this, Odin had vaguely sensed that two powerful beings possessing the eighth sense, Alaya-vijnana, were hiding within Asgard. At the time, he had not taken this to heart, and had simply dispatched his son, the Dark God Hodr, to deal with the matter.

However, thinking back now, Hodel's injuries had not yet fully recovered. In his current state, facing two powerful opponents who had reached the eighth sense of Alaya consciousness, if he was not careful and was attacked by the enemy, the consequences would be unimaginable...

The more he thought about it, the more scared he became. Odin couldn't help but feel extremely regretful. He cursed himself in his heart for being so careless that he actually forgot to warn Hodr in advance to be careful and cautious in case of any accidents!

Odin frowned, lost in deep thought, and began to seriously consider the dire situation they faced. The Aesir were now weak and powerless, with only a few members, and no one who could truly stand alone and shoulder the heavy responsibility.

Otherwise, given how much Odin valued his tribe, how could he have the heart to send his only remaining son, Hoder, to carry out such a dangerous and difficult mission?

Recalling that thrilling war between gods, although several main gods finally managed to escape back to Asgard with Odin, they were all seriously injured, and some even died unfortunately due to serious injuries as soon as they set foot in the territory of Asgard.

In the end, apart from Odin himself, the only two gods left in the entire Aesir who could be considered to have some abilities were Loki and Hodr.

Perhaps it is precisely because the Olympians are not aware of the true current situation of the Aesir that they have not yet launched a full-scale attack.

If they knew the truth, they would have already marched in force and laid siege to the city. Thinking of this, Odin couldn't help but feel a wave of fear.

In the original novel, Poseidon, the Sea King, once manipulated Hilda to try to dominate the world. This may have been an attempt to test the strength of the Aesir, and to see how much strength they still had left to compete with him.

After all, in this world of gods where the strong prey on the weak, the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of any force will attract the attention and covetousness of other forces.

Odin's injuries were already difficult to recover from. The current situation only exacerbated the situation, making it even more dire. How should he respond? Odin fell into deep thought.

"Will he just give up so easily? Or will he send those few remaining second- and third-level gods under his command to fight to the death?

No! Such a high-profile move would surely alert the Olympians. They would then perceive my fatigue and weakness. Why should we fear the Aesir, a group that even the Lord God cannot dispatch?

I believe the Olympians will march straight in without hesitation and wipe out Asgard in one fell swoop! "Just as Odin was racking his brains over what to do, Alberisi, far away in Asgard, had already made a resolute decision!

"What? Are you completely crazy? You're actually trying to go to Asgard? You're courting death, Alberich!"

When Hilda heard that Alberisi was planning to go to Asgard, she was struck by lightning and questioned him in disbelief. Her eyes widened, her face filled with astonishment, as if she couldn't believe that such a crazy idea she had heard actually came from Alberisi's mouth.

"There's really no other way. Just now, Odin and I engaged in a battle of wits in the skies above Asgard. The other party must have used some mysterious and unpredictable magic like prophecy.

Fortunately, I had the advantage of terrain. Although I suffered some minor injuries in this confrontation, the backlash Odin suffered would surely be more severe.

What's more, he was already seriously injured and hadn't recovered yet. This was undoubtedly the perfect opportunity to eliminate Odin, his biggest worry. How could I let go of such a rare and wonderful opportunity?" Albelisi explained to Hilda with a sullen face.

Hearing this, Hilda frowned and questioned worriedly, "Even so, there's no need to take such a huge risk! What if you make a mistake? Perhaps Odin's previous injuries have already healed? Or perhaps the backlash Odin is suffering is far less severe than you imagined?"

However, facing Hilda's barrage of questions, Alberich showed no sign of backing down, and continued firmly, "But no matter what, we must give it a try to see what the result will be! Odin is like a treacherous and cunning snake, who could suddenly spring out and bite us fiercely at any time.

Besides, there's no point in living in constant fear and anxiety about being attacked. It's better to take the initiative and fight!"
