Chapter 490: Heavy Fate, Determination to Resist
The light of justice, once the name was spoken by Odin, Zhou Yi couldn't help but tremble in his heart. Not for anything else, but for the word justice. He paid too much for this word, so that when he heard this, he immediately felt ups and downs and felt a lot of emotion.
However, this did not prevent him from loving this armor. In fact, the first time he saw this armor, he fell in love with this treasure.
It's just that he's not an idiot who doesn't know how to observe words. Although Odin has clearly stated that this is his second gift, just looking at the sentimental look in his eyes, Zhou Yi knows that this gift is not something that can be accepted casually. something down.
"This is the armor I prepared for my son Balder, but he has left me forever before he can accept this gift from his father!"
The hesitation in Zhou Yi's eyes was caught in Odin's eyes. He sighed and walked to the light of justice, pointing to him and telling Zhou Yi about his origins.
"Badr is the youngest son of the Queen and I, and our most beloved son. Like you, he is the god of light, the incarnation of the sun. He can bring hope, joy and happiness to all in Asgardry. Guangming is a young man whom all of us love. However, such a good boy has a tragic destiny that is doomed."
The noisy banquet has gradually become silent in Odin's narration. Hearing him mentioning Balder, the god of light who has passed away, everyone's faces showed sadness and regret. It can be seen that Badr is indeed loved by these people, so that when they mention him now, they will be sad because of his passing.
"My son, Baldr, was predicted to die, and it all started with one of his nightmares. When he told me about his nightmare of being murdered, I feared that it would all come to an end. became a reality. So I visited the three goddesses of fate, hoping they would solve my doubts, but they told me, Baldr. My dear son, his death was a matter of fate. As long as It is fate, no matter whether it is gods or mortals, there is no way to resist. This also means. I must watch my beloved son die like this!"
Speaking of which, Odin was already full of hair and beard, tears streaming down his face, and he couldn't continue to talk about it with sadness. When it was the goddess Frigga, she quietly helped her husband. Facing Zhou Yi, he continued the story.
"When my husband told me about it, I couldn't believe it was true. But the prophecies of the Fate Triads never failed, as they said, Baldr's fate was doomed. But we are not reconciled, my child has never done a single bad thing, why should fate treat him so cruelly. So my husband and I decided to save Badr's life even if we give everything in the Golden Palace ."
"to this end,
As the Queen of Asgard, I decree that the gods and all beings of Asgard may take a sacred oath. Do not use any weapon to harm my beloved son Bald in the slightest. All the gods are as fateful, and all beings in Asgard have sworn an oath. But my husband didn't think that was foolproof enough, so he used his treasure trove to create this armor for our beloved son. "
"This armor was made by the top craftsmen of the gnomes using the finest materials in the Golden Palace. When it was finished, my husband couldn't wait to take it to Warnerheim, begging the Warner gods there. Put their magic spell on this armor."
As the goddess Frigg said, she stretched out her hand and stroked the talisman pattern on the armor. With her touch, a little bit of dazzling gold has quietly emerged from the armor pattern, making the entire armor seem to be surrounded by a dense golden light.
"This is the blessing of the Warner gods. They wish the wearer of this armor to be safe from all threats of harm, just like justice, and evil will eventually fall to the ground when it meets it. Completely defeated. But my husband has not had time to put Bring this armor back and give it to our beloved son, and he has already suffered misfortune!"
When the mother recalled her son's misfortune again, she could no longer bear the pain and sadness in her heart, and plunged into her husband's arms. There was a sympathetic whimper.
Zhou Yi's sadness for the parents is completely understandable. He is also a father, and he understands how painful it is to lose a child. So he just listened to their stories in silence, without getting to the bottom of it, once again exposing the scars in their hearts.
Zhou Yi's actions made Odin grateful and gave him a little more confidence in his plans. He reluctantly picked up his sad mood and said to Zhou Yi.
"My beloved son has left us, and this armor is of no use. So I have kept it in my treasure trove as a nostalgic thought. But now, I want to keep it Give it to you, my friend. I hope it can be worn on your body, shield you from the wind and rain, and help you fight against evil. This is a piece of my heart, I hope you can accept it!"
"This is too precious, Your Majesty. This is your beloved son's relic. How could I accept it as a gift!"
After hearing the origin of the light of justice, Zhou Yi immediately shook his head and refused. This gift is very meaningful, and it is not a gift that can be accepted casually. So even if he loved it, he could only reject Odin's kindness.
But Odin did not allow Zhou Yi to refuse this gift at all. This armor is not only a gift for friends, but also the beginning of all his plans, so he has to let Zhou Yi accept this heavy gift anyway.
"I know what you're thinking, my friend. But it's like spilled water, and since I've planned to give it to you as a gift, I have no intention of taking it back. If you don't take it It, then I will destroy it in front of so many people, and save me from thinking of my poor child because of it!"
Having said that, Zhou Yi would not be able to accept this gift. So he could only thank him again.
"Then I will be disrespectful, Your Majesty. Thank you for your kindness, as I promised before, that my promise to Asgard will always be valid. My friendship with Asgard will never change. As long as it is needed. Place, please tell me, I will do my best!"
Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Odin immediately narrowed his eyes. He knew that the time was ripe for everything. After paying so much, I even took out the treasures I treasured and the legacy of my beloved son. Isn't it for this moment? So at the moment, he patted Zhou Yi's arm, and after accepting his kindness with a smile, he raised Gungnir in his hand. Said to everyone at the Golden Palace banquet.
"Dear warriors of Asgard, my loyal warriors. I invite you today, not only to help our friend, but also to tell you something important. Before that, next I Everything said is true. Anyway, please keep calm."
Odin's words made all Asgardians realize that something big was about to happen. They pricked up their ears and held their breaths, waiting for Odin to tell them the truth.
"Many years ago, Heimdall just like I predicted a big event, for this I asked the three goddesses of fate, and they gave me the same answer. That is, Ragnarok is coming, Asgard is about to be in disaster, go To the brink of destruction!"
As soon as these words came out, the whole banquet was in an uproar. Almost everyone questioned Odin's remarks. People who don't believe. question the truth of what he said. Those who believed in questioned what Odin had just done. If Ragnarok is really coming, and Asgard is about to be destroyed, why would they have this spare time to hold a banquet and invite a Midgard?
Various opinions flooded the entire Golden Palace, making everyone restless. At this moment, everyone felt a sense of breathlessness. Feeling the great pressure caused by fate, this terrifying existence.
Looking at all this, Odin slammed Gungnir in his hand and shouted.
"Silence. Listen to me!"
The majestic Odin obviously scared everyone, and they put away the words from their mouths. Waiting for the next words of the father of the gods.
"I know what you're worried about, what you're afraid of. Fate, the damn thing, has hit us hard again and again. This eye of mine, Tyr's right hand, and Balder's misfortune. Again and again. All the blows seem to tell us that the power of fate makes us unable to disobey, and the only way for us is to accept its judgment."
"When I heard the news, I was actually as panicked and desperate as you. However, I would like to ask, do you really plan to stand still and just watch Ragnarok come and Asgard go to the end? ?"
No one answered his question, and all the warriors and gods fell into a repressed silence. It is not that they have resisted fate, but when all their efforts have come to nothing again and again, the arrangement of fate still comes as scheduled. They will no longer have the will to rebel against fate.
Failure made them lose their courage, and the power of fate made them unwilling to resist. And that's a problem Odin has to turn around now. If they want to fight against fate and reverse the ending of Ragnarok, they cannot go to the battlefield with such a mentality. He had to give them confidence, the confidence to win. And where did this confidence come from, he already had a plan.
"You are afraid, you are afraid. Do you think fate cannot be resisted? No, I will tell you that fate has been reversed. Do you know why I am entertaining my dearest friend and giving him my treasure? Because he is our hope to reverse the fate of our destiny!"
Having said that, Odin held Zhou Yi's arm, so that everyone's eyes were focused on him.
"Because of the appearance of this warrior, the trajectory of destiny that Heimdall has seen has changed. Our future has become uncertain again. I can tell you that Ragnarok is still back, but the ending is not doomed. We have to fight our destiny, bet all our battles. Victory, we can reverse our destiny and rewrite our tragedy. Failure is nothing but to face the judgment of destiny and wait for the end to come. Now, tell us, yours What's the answer?" (To be continued.)
