Slaying God: I, the insane and witty god

The madman with the gold-rimmed glasses was still staring at the darkness below the abyss and laughing.

The laughter sounded like fingernails scraping a blackboard, sending chills down your spine.

Wu Hen didn't even glance at him, leaning against the railing.

He muttered under his breath, "Damn it, this guy's a freak, but he's right. If we don't make some noise soon, we'll really be buried with these gods."

"Are you confident?" Lin Qiye glanced at the guards in the distance, still clutching the scorching emblem in his hand.

"What's the big deal? Let's take a gamble." Wu Hen said this, but his face showed no sign of panic. Instead, it revealed the ruthlessness of a desperate criminal.

"That big oaf named Thor is a powder keg right now; he could explode at the slightest spark."

“His mind is completely focused on his wife now; she’s our only way out.”

Before Lin Qiye could reply, he heard an even more intense roar coming from the direction of the Golden Palace.

"boom--!"

That was the sound of Thor's hammer smashing through the wall.

Inside the Golden Palace, rubble flew everywhere.

Thor was panting heavily, his chest heaving violently, his bloodshot bull-like eyes fixed on Si Xiaonan in the corner.

Even though the girl's mouth was bleeding from the beating, she didn't utter a sound and just knelt there, trembling.

"You haven't said it yet, have you?"

Thor took a step forward, his violent divine power distorting the surrounding air.

"Where exactly did that rat Loki hide Sif? As his dog, how could you not know?"

Si Xiaonan was truly wronged. She wanted to cry out that she was innocent, but it felt like there was a piece of burning coal stuck in her throat, so she could only shake her head desperately.

"A tough talk?"

Thor sneered and raised his hammer to smash it down.

“Report——!!!”

A servant tumbled and crawled into the ruins, his head slamming hard against the rubble.

Blood streamed down his forehead: "Your Highness! Your Highness, please wait!"

Thor's hammer came to an abrupt halt in mid-air, the force of the wind it generated snapping off several strands of Si Xiaonan's hair.

"Spit it out!" Thor turned his head irritably, the murderous intent in his eyes still lingering.

The servant swallowed hard, trembling like a leaf.

“That… that old man locked in the red cage… that is, the prophet Miles, he said… he said he knew the whereabouts of the princess.”

"what?"

Thor was stunned for a moment, and his murderous aura instantly froze.

It's like a drowning person suddenly grabbing at a straw; he rushes towards it.

He grabbed the servant by the collar and lifted him into the air: "Say it again? What did that old man say?"

"He said...it's darkest under the lamp." The servant's eyes rolled back as he was being strangled.

He said you looked up at the Nine Realms but forgot the shadow beneath your feet. The Queen is right next to you, yet the one you can't see.

Thor loosened his grip, and the servant fell to the ground with a thud.

The place closest to me... the place I can't see at all?

Isn't this Loki's favorite trick?

Thor abruptly turned to look towards the abyss, his face, previously contorted with rage, instantly becoming incredibly expressive—a mixture of ecstasy and...

There was urgency, and also the trembling of something about to be lost and then regained.

"Bring him here! No...I'll go myself!"

The red cage was pulled up again.

Before the iron bars were even opened, Saul's loud voice was already making people's eardrums hurt.

"Old man! What did you mean by that just now?!"

Lin Qiye sat cross-legged in the middle of the cage, his eyelids drooping, looking like a dead hermit.

Wu Hen, standing beside him, was ramrod straight, like a dutiful bodyguard.

"The literal meaning," Lin Qiye said slowly, his voice hoarse.

"Your Highness Thor, have you searched the entire Asgard, but missed one place?"

Stop playing coy with me!

Thor gripped the railing, the dancing purple lightning above having no effect on him whatsoever.

"If you dare to play me, I'll throw you all down there to feed that monster right now!"

"We're all in this cage now, our lives are in your hands, do you dare?"

Lin Qiye slowly opened his eyes at this moment, his cloudy eyes revealing an unfathomable calmness.

"To find the princess, I need an absolutely quiet place, free from divine interference, to cast a new divination."

"The killing intent here is too strong, and the divine power is too chaotic. I can't see the exact location."

"So much trouble!"

Thor cursed, but his actions were swift and decisive. With a wave of his hand, he tore through the chains binding the cage. "Come out!"

The guards nearby were about to intervene: "Your Highness, Lord Tyr gave the order..."

"Get out!" Thor kicked the guard away.

"Tyr is nothing! If my wife dies, do you expect him to compensate me?!"

The cage door opened.

Lin Qiye and Wu Hen exchanged a glance, and both saw a hint of "it's done" in each other's eyes.

As for number 22, he was just watching the show with a wine glass in hand.

He showed no intention of following them out; instead, he raised his glass to them and mouthed, "Good luck."

"Lead the way, find a quiet room," Wu Hen interjected, his tone curt.

"Don't try anything funny. If you interrupt the divination, you'll have to bear the consequences."

Saul was in a panic and didn't care about the attitude of the two prisoners.

He led the way, hammer in hand, shouting, "Follow me to the side hall! There's a barrier over there; nobody can hear us!"

Two minutes later.

"boom!"

The heavy stone door was slammed shut.

This is a secret chamber located in the side wing of the Golden Palace, with runes inscribed on the surrounding walls to prevent detection.

Thor stood in the doorway like a lion guarding the gate: "Right here! You have ten minutes."

"If I can't figure it out, I'll tear this house down and twist your heads off while I'm at it!"

After saying that, he actually turned around, stood with his back to the two of them at the door, and pressed his ear to the crack in the door, as if guarding against any noise outside.

The room fell silent instantly.

Lin Qiye didn't rush to move, but instead gave Wu Hen a look.

Wu Hen understood immediately and pretended to pace around the room, setting up an array.

In fact, her fingers quickly searched several corners of the wall before finally stopping in the center of the room, where she nodded slightly to Lin Qiye.

There were no security cameras, no wiretapping, just that big, dumb guy at the door.

Lin Qiye's previously hunched back straightened instantly.

The timid "humanity" on his face vanished, replaced by the cold sternness of a hunter seeing his prey fall into the net.

He exhaled a long breath, reached into his robes, and pulled out the serpent emblem that had been burning hot.

"The show is about to begin." Lin Qiye's voice was soft, yet it carried a chill.

He was never trying to find Saul a wife.

From the beginning, his goal was this secret room that could be hidden from Tyr and Heimdall's sight.

And... that thing that can only be activated from this location.
