Chapter 645 The Boss of Destiny, the Stone of Self
"Father?"
The weird voice reached Brunhilde's ears, but it made her feel extremely familiar. She stood still in astonishment, and murmured in the direction of the void.
"Yes, my child. I am talking to you."
The source of the voice is that Odin frankly admitted his identity. But for the sudden appearance of his father, Brunhilde felt an inexplicable confusion.
"But, aren't you in a deep sleep? Why do you still appear here, and in this way?"
"This is the power of fate, my child." After a short silence, there were deep sighs and free laughter. "It's the new power I got after the river of fate got a new twist. It's just a simple transaction."
Hearing this sentence, Brunhild had a bad feeling. It was as if everything had been arranged, as if everything had fallen into a trap that had already been drawn. Everything was full of conspiracies and calculations, which made her feel restless and violent in her heart.
"Power, destiny? What did you do, Odin? Could it be that all of this is in your calculations. Just like you made me cursed and fell into a deep sleep?"
Such questioning undoubtedly represents what Brunhilde fears most in his heart. If everything really goes as she imagined. Then she really has no way to forgive herself and the whole of Asgard.
She took advantage of the hero who was desperate to save herself, and took advantage of the person who made her heart flutter. All that was exchanged was an elaborate calculation and deception, which was really a great tragedy for her as the Valkyrie of Asgard. Even if she didn't know it at all, or even said that she was just one of the pawns being manipulated, she felt that she could no longer face Zhou Yi.
As for her feeling, Odin was very clear in his heart. He couldn't understand what kind of character his daughter had. This is a child with extremely pure will and belief. Once he decides something, he will never learn to give up and compromise. Especially those things that are very important to her can be maintained with the posture of giving up everything, even life.
This is a virtue, but sometimes it is also a kind of shackle, a shackle that can drag people into the abyss. But obviously, Brunhilde, who also understands his character, has no intention of changing at all.
Therefore, Odin, who was unwilling to lose his daughter at this last moment, still told everything honestly.
"I don't mean to sacrifice our heroes,
bren. In fact, although the whole of Asgard has made huge sacrifices in order to change this doomsday, from the beginning to the end, I have no intention of sacrificing you and him. "
"He is the transforming force of fate, the one who disturbs the direction of the river of fate. In this doomsday decisive battle, he is a necessary existence. Therefore, many things must revolve around him. Whether it is a giant, or an undead, or even It's this kind of final showdown, and it's all about him. Of course it includes Asgard's survival, the real survival."
The Valkyrie, who was evoked by the nickname she was called when she was a child, did not soften her heart because of these words. In fact, because of her own thoughts, she is now full of negative emotions.
"That's why you use him, and that's why you use me?"
"I admit that I used you in this tough battle. However, that is also to allow you to live better and to allow Asgard to continue to exist."
Odin's voice suddenly became more intense, but soon became depressed again.
"I am, after all, the King of Asgard, the Father of the Gods. I must take responsibility for the burden that is on my shoulders. Brun, you do not understand what I have seen and the choices I have made. In my first How hopeless I was when I saw fate. How ecstatic I was when I first saw the turnaround he represented."
"Compared to the end of the whole world and the kingdom, this kind of sacrifice is already the best situation. Although we have lost countless warriors, Heimdall, Frigg, and even the past king .But we survived, which is actually the greatest gift of fate.”
"Gift, do you call it a gift?"
Thinking of everything I saw, thinking of the golden palace and the burning scene of the World Tree. Brunhild felt a fire burning in his chest. And when she saw the brilliance of the new star that was fading in front of her eyes, she felt even more desperate as if she was drowning in an abyss.
She couldn't agree with Odin's statement at all, and she even hoped that all this had never happened, and she was still sleeping forever on the mountain of flames.
"You've got to learn to grieve, Brun. That's what a king has to learn."
"I'm not the king, you are. Don't force your ideas on me."
"No, you are already a king. When you hold Gungnir and accept the allegiance of warriors and gods. When I step into the world tree and meet the embrace of the river of fate, you are already a king. Then After my crown and burden, you are the new Queen of Asgard."
"Wait, what do you mean. Odin, what the hell did you do?"
Hearing his words, Brunhilde felt an inexplicable panic in his heart. She looked at the void eagerly, waiting for his answer, hoping that everything was not as she thought. But reality always backfires.
At this time, Odin's tone suddenly became kind. As if he had let go of some heavy burden, he changed from a majestic king to an apologetic father.
"As you heard, Brun. I am dead, returned to the arms of my ancestors."
"Ever since I gained insight into the long river of fate, I have understood what kind of disaster is hidden under the world tree. The monster that represents our origin also represents our destruction. When he wakes up, he will definitely be destroyed The World Tree, the sacred object that has imprisoned him for countless years. At the same time, Asgard, which relies on the World Tree, is also destined to be destroyed by him."
"This is something that cannot be changed, but after he appeared, there has been a turning point. And with this opportunity, we have gained the last hope, and it is precisely because of this that we can keep the last fire for Asgard .”
Shaking her head vigorously, the Valkyrie didn't agree with him at all, she stubbornly insisted on what she saw.
"No, Asgard has been destroyed, and the World Tree has been burned before my eyes. We have done nothing, except let an innocent person be implicated in our damned fate."
"That was just before, after that you don't see the endgame."
As if sighing, Odin spoke the final ending.
"I made a deal with the goddess of fate. At the cost of my life and soul, I became the new root of the world tree. At the same time, I also replaced them and became the new monitor of fate. This is our last resort, a last resort means. But this is what keeps Asgard alive. Coupled with the people you protect, our Asgard has not yet been destroyed."
"So, you did a great job. I'm proud of what you've done, Bren."
"So, you're actually dead too, right? Like Frigga and Heimdall?"
The Valkyrie, whose face was already indifferent, asked suddenly. As for this question, Odin replied sadly.
"Yes, I'm dead. My child, what you hear now is only my remaining consciousness. Maybe soon, these consciousnesses will also dissipate."
"So, that is to say. Will we die too? Will Zhou Yi and I die in all of this?"
"No, you won't die. Brun, you have to bring the remaining people of Asgard to life again. So, I won't let you die."
"Won't let me die?"
Looking up at the endless glow that was gradually shrinking above, Brunhilde smiled.
"Did you see the light above? I have already decided that I will stay with him until the moment of death. Under such circumstances, can you still say such a thing?"
"You're still so stubborn, Bren." Odin said with a sigh, but suddenly laughed. "But this is my daughter."
"Listen, Brun. You still have hope. Both you and he still have the possibility of surviving. And all the possibilities are in your hands."
Speaking of this, invisible power suddenly surged. But under the action of this force, Brunhilde immediately felt the burning pain on his palm.
That golden gem was shining brightly in her palm at this moment, showing its unique and special existence. And as Brunhilde gazed at the jewel, Odin whispered in her ear.
"This is your hope, the last legendary Infinity Stone - the Stone of Self. Use it, child. Use its power to find the future you said you wanted. I believe, in the end you will get yours Want something. This is my last blessing, Bren. I wish you, get your happiness!"
Odin's voice gradually became depressed, to the point where it was almost impossible to hear clearly. But at the same time, the golden self-stone became more and more shining in Brunhilde's hands.
A dormant consciousness is slowly waking up within this gem. And with her awakening, the Infinity Stones also began to stir. Just like a separated young son facing the mother who gave birth to him, all the Infinity Stones began to cheer and jump, wanting to return to the embrace of this consciousness.
And just like a rainbow, the colorful rays of light suddenly broke through the light of the dying star. He rushed in the direction of Brunhilde. (To be continued.)
