Chapter 567: The Last Choice

"What do I think?" Odin immediately fell silent when he heard the envoy's question.

As a king, Odin is naturally 10,000 kindnesses willing to come from Muspelheim. Not to mention the gifts paid by the Flame Kingdom, that is, the fact that the flame giants are willing to form an alliance, it has indisputable benefits for Asgard. But as a father, Odin was reluctant to make this sacrifice.

Although as a father, he is not a qualified character. But even such a character is reluctant to use his daughter as a political bargaining chip to marry away to the barren and desolate land of Mspelheim. He has already sacrificed his daughter once, so he doesn't want to let his daughter sacrifice a second time anyway.

The silence that Odin had not responded to for a long time made the envoy kneeling below feel an inexplicable panic. He didn't know what Odin had to hesitate at this time. You must know that in this meeting, the gift that Muspelheim provided was surprising and incredible even to the flame giant at the top. If it wasn't their king's will, he was definitely against this inexplicable courtship.

When did the mighty flame giant need to bend to Asgard like this. If you really like the goddess of Asgard, wouldn't it be more convenient and faster to grab it directly by force? Is it possible to use the force of the Fire Kingdom to fear these Asgard aunts?

But he had to obey the king's orders, so he could only show such a shameful appearance to the king of Asgard in a way that was almost humiliating to him. And the more shameful he behaved, the more anxious he became. So now, he finally couldn't help but ask.

"Your Majesty Odin of Asgard, what are you still hesitating about. Isn't this a very perfect thing for you? Your catastrophe is imminent, and only with the help of our Muspelheim can you have enough. Strength to fight against your catastrophe. And all you have to pay is a princess, a goddess. Is it such a small price that you are not willing to pay?"

"A small price?" Hearing the messenger's words, Odin's face immediately showed an unhappy look. "The small price you speak of is my proudest daughter. Asgard's most powerful Valkyrie, and also the most admirable female warrior."

"So what, please be blunt. His Majesty Odin of Asgard." The envoy of the flame giant showed a mocking smile. "Women are powerful, but only a tool to produce offspring. Besides, it is a proud honor that you women of Asgard have the opportunity to serve our greatest king of giants in Muspelheim. What's more, We also offered a price that would satisfy anyone."

"So, don't hesitate. Your Majesty, please tell me your final answer!"

"My final answer?" The envoy's aggressive tone finally made Odin make up his mind.

He stood up, looked down at the giant below, and answered him word by word. "Tell your king Surtur for me. Tell him, I thank him for his kindness. However, we Asgard have no habit of using our women as bargaining chips!"

This answer is somewhat beyond the messenger's imagination. Or he didn't think that Odin would choose to reject the olive branch handed out by Muspelheim at this time, under the premise that Ragnarok was coming. This made his first reaction be consternation, then anger, and finally indescribable panic.

He was stunned because Odin's answer was unexpected, and angry because it was an absolute humiliation for the Fire Nation. And the panic was because Odin's answer made his mission completely empty. And what kind of punishment he will be punished when he returns to Muspelheim after the mission fails, that is something he can't even think about.

So he immediately raised his head unwillingly and questioned Odin again.

"King of Asgard, you have to think about it. You are rejecting Muspelheim, not the dwarfs of Wertheim, nor the goblins of Alfheim. We flame giants will not tolerate it. This refusal."

If it were a weak and weak king, he might choose to think twice because of this subtle threat at this time, or even change his mind directly. But Odin is not weak. As a wise monarch who can expand territory and defend strong enemies from outside. The last thing Odin is afraid of is the threat of this villain. So after the messenger finished speaking, he raised his voice and asked like a thunderbolt.

"What are you going to do if my answer is still the same? Messenger from the Fire Nation?"

"Then expect you to be ready for war. Muspelheim will not accept any humiliation. Since you have rejected our good intentions, we don't mind using war and fire to take away what we want. The flames of my king's destruction will be invincible, even the gods of Asgard, who can match them?"

Political negotiation is clearly not something the flame giants are good at. As soon as he switched to the method of forceful negotiation, the messenger immediately showed a sonorous and powerful expression, full of indomitable pride. And as the messenger of the flame kingdom that can directly suppress Asgard by force, he does have this proud capital.

However, no amount of force could make Odin change his mind. He just looked at the messenger coldly, and then suddenly grinned at him with a stern smile.

"As a messenger, you dare to threaten me in this way in my palace and my kingdom. I have to say, you are really brave."

"Because we are the strong, King Odin. In this world, the strong often have the most powerful voice, don't they?" The messenger answered as a matter of course, and this was the most honest thought in his heart.

But on this question, Odin's answer is of course not sharp.

"You're right, but the last thing we Asgard fear is a powerful enemy. Fighting and then winning or dying is the best life for us. We'd rather die in honor than die in such a humiliating way. Way to exchange for the so-called future and peace. You can ask the warriors present, who would be willing to give up my princess, my daughter, the woman of Asgard?"

Looking around, almost everyone's eyes are the same. It was a look that gave up life and death, a look that was willing to abandon everything for honor. And a country with such eyes would never use their women as bargaining chips in exchange for help from others. Especially when everyone knows that this so-called helper is their enemy.

"Very well, I will tell all this to my king. I believe that you will soon usher in the wrath of my king. At that time, I hope you can still laugh, Your Majesty Odin!"

Seeing that his mission had been completely fruitless, the messenger threw out such cruel words, stood up, and prepared to leave this humiliating place. And just as he stood up, something unexpected happened suddenly.

Ferocious flames rushed out of him, instantly engulfing his own flames, turning him into a mass of ashes. And above the ashes, a group of more fiery and violent flames rose, suddenly turning into the shape of a huge human figure.

And this figure, although it is only the appearance of the flame, but it also instantly makes people feel the most terrifying feeling of heart palpitations. Watching him was like watching a flame that destroyed everything, making people tremble involuntarily.

A commotion inevitably arose. At this time, Odin suddenly shouted, making everyone present regain their composure.

"Surtur, Lord of Fire, you actually appeared on my palace in person. Can I regard your actions as a provocation to the whole of Asgard?"

"Whatever you want, Odin. I'm just here to make sure, do you really want to reject my offer?"

The phantom in the flames made a loud noise with the smell of sulphur and gunpowder. But this sound immediately revealed the identity of the person who came.

The king of flame giants, Surtur. A name alone can make the wisdom of the nine kingdoms inspire the terrifying powerhouse of trembling. He is the symbol of destruction, the messenger of the end. The Terminator that made the world fear him. Such a person actually appeared in the main hall of the Golden Palace now, and it really had to make people think of more things.

However, Odin, who has been heralded in the future, has already made full psychological preparations. Even in the face of such a powerful enemy, he has no intention of giving in at all.

"I think I've made it very clear, Surtur. I won't sacrifice my daughter's happiness, and I won't let Asgard suffer the rest of his life. I'd rather die than die. will grant your request."

"Very well, I admire your determination and courage, Odin! In that case, let's see you on the battlefield. I'd love to see the ghost of a king like you under my twilight sword. Your The crown will be my best trophy, and your head will be my best collection. Gods of Asgard, I will make a new bracelet out of your heads. And that, too It will be my best show off capital!"

Surtur laughed wildly, and said such words with a grim expression. At this moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"If you can do it, just give it a try. Let's see who's going to be who's favorite!"

The stunning figure of the Valkyrie suddenly appeared outside the gate of the Golden Palace, and with the dazzling light, it approached Surtur's phantom step by step.

Looking at such an admirable voice, Surtur immediately showed a greedy look.

"My favorite Valkyrie is here. Brunhilde, I will give you a chance to choose. If you serve me voluntarily, there is still a chance to redeem all of this. But if you are obsessed with it, Then what awaits you will be the most miserable fate. Even if I destroy what I can't get, I will never let others get involved, do you understand what I mean?"
