Chapter 1157 The New Master of the Nine Kingdoms
When the continent of Midgard was freeing itself from the erosion of magic energy and the people of the Twilight City began to build their new home in the wilderness, Odin returned to his home after two thousand years of absence.
Asgard's "god's domain", Asagard.
Despite receiving a series of emergency treatments, Odin was still very weak and could barely stand for a while after disembarking from Antony's spherical craft, but he declined the offer to rest for a while and instead worked to regain a little strength. Then we walked into the depths of the ruins of Asaph Garden.
Facing the ruins of his former home and country, this powerful alien who was once known as the "King of the Gods" fell into a long silence. The cool wind of Asgard blew through the ruins, blowing... Moving Odin's white hair, after being silent in the wind for a long time, he took a deep breath: "They are all gone."
Hao Ren said casually: "There is still a Valkyrie."
"But there is only one Valkyrie left." Odin seemed to show a wry smile, but the change in his expression was so subtle that it was difficult to detect.
"Asgard has the best-preserved ecosystem among the nine kingdoms. Although it was the starting point of the chain explosion, it suffered the least impact." Vivian looked at the lush mountains outside Asa Garden City, "With other Compared with the nine kingdoms, this place is simply paradise. How about it? Do you regret leaving this place in a hurry? If you had found a place to hide in Asgard for a few years, you would not have to go to Midgard to suffer the two thousand years of sin. "
Odin looked at the empty and lonely ruins of the city and smiled with relief: "Nonsense, my intestines are turning green with regret."
When Hao Rengang saw the magnanimous expression on the other party's face, he thought he was going to say something like "I will have no regrets in my old life", but he didn't expect that the old man would be so single, and he suddenly felt a sigh of praise in his stomach. Before the words came out, they turned into a hiccup in his throat. He coughed violently several times before he recovered: "Ahem...are you saying this frankly enough?"
"I have looked away. After experiencing so much, what else can I do to show off?" Odin grinned. "If I had known what would become of each of the nine kingdoms after the explosion, I would have How was it possible to go all the way to Midgard to inhale those two thousand years of radiation waste? No matter how difficult life is here, it is much better than living in a chaotic daze on the Iron Throne..."
Everyone: "..."
"Of course, that's not all," Odin finally changed the topic at this time, "I do regret not taking another look at Asgard, but if I was really asked to give up the millions of lives in the Twilight City, I'm afraid I Even more impossible. If I stay in Asgard, I will live very comfortably, but if I stay in Midgard, I can keep millions of humans safe for two thousand years... How to choose between these two... It is indeed difficult ah."
Listening to the old man's straightforward analysis of his heart, Hao Ren's initial desire to complain dissipated unknowingly.
He realized that only in this way could he see a living Odin - without the aura of the so-called king of "gods", without the reputation of the thousand-year-old ancient saint, without the achievements of protecting the Twilight City and the dark history of enslaving mankind. , after throwing away all these external things, what remains is a mortal of flesh and blood. Odin, he is indeed not a "god", he is just an alien leader who lives on earth and has extraordinary experiences.
Deep in the palace of Valhalla, the crazy Valkyrie still stands firm.
This time, the group of people reached the deepest part of the Hall of Valor without any interference, and found the Valkyrie waiting for everyone in the monitoring hall. When Hao Ren walked into the hall first, he saw the Valkyrie squatting on a console holding a long sword full of lightning, like a ferocious female beast in an extremely alert state, her hair She was still messy, her expression was still irrational, and she looked like a complete lunatic when she squatted with her teeth grinned. However, the armor on her body was obviously changed to a slightly better one - this was to meet the new order, and she crouched from a certain corner. New clothes turned inside out.
Although crazy, this Valkyrie still seems to have a little bit of logic.
"Don't go any further!" The Valkyrie grabbed the sword and looked at Hao Ren nervously, growling threateningly in her throat, "Stand there!"
"Relax, relax, don't you remember me?" Hao Ren quickly waved his hand, "I'm Hao Ren, I'm here to help you find Odin..."
"Oh, I remember you." The Valkyrie was indeed unclear. She frowned and thought for a long time before remembering this, so she put away the long sword. "You go to our Holy Father. You promised me to Bring new orders, can you do it?"
"I have brought Odin." Hao Ren smiled and stepped aside to let someone in from the outside.
Odin walked into the hall and met Valkyrie's eyes.
Neither of them spoke for ten seconds.
Lily's mind suddenly opened up: "Ah, there's a problem - Odin is now so skinny and out of shape, will Valkyrie not be able to recognize his boss?"
Even though this husky was usually unreliable in everything he did, the words he said when his thoughts suddenly opened up were more and more heart-wrenching. Hao Ren immediately became nervous, fearing that this idiot would hit the mark. But just when everyone was preparing to deal with the accident, Valkyrie on the opposite side finally spoke up: "Certification completed - Valkyrie is waiting for orders!"
Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and slapped Lily on the head: "Don't scare people in the future."
Lily was still aggrieved: "I just wanted to express my opinion..."
On the other side, Odin and Valkyrie have successfully completed the certification. The crazy Valkyrie knelt down after being stunned for a moment. She looked up at Odin with enthusiasm and joy in her eyes: "Great Holy Father! You are finally back to inspect your military camp! The battle outside is over. Valkyrie's sisters fought desperately and finally held this line of defense. Valkyrie and the Legion of Heroes can receive new instructions at any time."
"Her memory is a little confused," Hao Ren explained softly in Odin's ear. "She doesn't want to believe that Ragnarok has really happened, so she still firmly believes that Valhalla's defense has not been breached. Vivian has already thought I tried restarting her once, but it didn’t seem to work.”
The expression on Odin's face changed several times, and the look he looked at Valkyrie became more complicated.
Opposite him, the loyal Valkyrie still lowered her head respectfully, waiting for the next order.
As long as new orders are issued, the significance of Valkyrie's existence can continue.
Hao Ren couldn't help but slow down his breathing. He looked at the scene in front of him nervously, wondering what kind of order Odin would give.
"Asa Garden has been destroyed by the war."
Odin spoke calmly, and the first words made Hao Ren and the others break into a cold sweat.
Lily couldn't help but almost jumped up on the spot: "Master, don't be like this..."
Vivian quickly pressed down the husky spirit with quick eyes and hands, and heard Odin continue calmly:
"There was no winner in the war on the Wegurt Plain. The era of Asaph was over. All nine kingdoms were destroyed in Ragnarok. The situation in other places was worse than here..."
Valkyrie's body trembled slightly.
But at this moment, Odin suddenly took two steps forward and reached out to help Valkyrie up.
"However, your mission is still completed very well, and it is crucial. Valhalla's defense line has been defended, and you have saved the last batch of the Heroic Spirit Legion, so the power of Asa Garden has not completely disappeared. It is your efforts. Let us still have hope for reconstruction. There are still a group of human survivors in Midgard, and Yggdrasil is also regenerating from the roots. The war is over. Now is the time to prepare for reconstruction. Your heroic spirits can help Very busy."
The cold sweat on Hao Ren's head finally stopped, and Nangong Wuyue patted his chest beside him: "Huh... the old man is breathing heavily when he talks."
Odin took off his ring and gave it to Valkyrie as a token: "Integrate the heroic spirits that are still active, activate the repair station to repair their damage, and then send half of the heroic spirits to Midgard to assist in the reconstruction there. You take the rest." Half of the people stay here to clean up the ruins and clean the battlefield. There are still many things that can be used on the Weigrut Plain. If we gather some souls back, we can have more manpower."
The Valkyrie solemnly took the seal ring and nodded vigorously.
Odin spoke again: "There is another order."
The Valkyrie listened attentively.
"I'm going to abdicate," Odin sighed. "I'm too tired and can no longer afford to rule the nine kingdoms. From now on, your master is her——"
As the old man spoke, he slowly raised his hand and pointed at Vivian, who was standing behind Hao Ren.
Vivian: "What?!"
"Old friend, don't put it off," Odin waved his hand after seeing Vivian's expression, "I know you can take on this important task. I am already old, and the Asaph are not really immortal gods— -The Nine Kingdoms need a nominal master. The ancient artifacts in the Rainbow Bridge and Asa Garden are still very powerful to humans. They always have to be managed by someone, and there is also the Legion of Heroic Spirits here... You Just think of it as helping this old man like me."
"Are you really sure that this bat can take on this important task?" Lily couldn't help it anymore, "Let's not talk about her forgetfulness and her habit of sleeping at intervals for two centuries. As for her wealth, you can rest assured - you have a lot of luck here. I don’t have much wealth anymore.”
Vivian: "!!"
Odin thought about it and felt that what Lily said made sense!
So the old man thought about it carefully, and finally raised his finger and pointed at Hao Ren: "How about I give it to you?"
This time it was Hao Ren's turn: "What?!"
