Chapter 269 (1/2)
In the past, the rainbow bridge flowing with the brilliant colors of the universe has been dim. The huge wounds and terrible war ruins have damaged the bridge deck, and the aftermath of the fragmentation of time and space has almost completely destroyed this Asgard miracle.
Not far away, heimdar, who lost his eyes, stood silently in the ruins facing the nine countries and remained loyal to Asgard.
On the golden throne, the solitary crow hovered and moaned, and finally fell on Odin's shoulder. He patted Odin's shoulder with his broken wings. Odin's body was no longer tall and firm in the past. His face was tired and old. The LORD God of Asgard looked like a silent old man.
The silk ribbon tied his eyes, and the divine blood seeped out from the ribbon, adding a bit of sadness to the scene.
”Father!” a dark shadow stood by the stone pillar and looked directly at Odin on the throne. His eyes stopped for a moment on Odin's blind eyes, showing a trace of complex feelings.
Odin on the throne gave a long sigh: ”Rocky, have you come to look directly at your father's weakness and spy on his throne?”
Rocky's eyes tingled and resented, but he still calmly replied, ”no, my king, I'm here to thank you for your forgiveness...”
”I don't want to forgive you... I believe that the flame of jealousy is still burning in your heart. Rocky, your nature is very dangerous, but Thor convinced me that he tried to prove that you are trustworthy and that he believes that your love for your family is true...”
Odin seemed tired. He sank his head and said sadly, ”Asgard has reached the most dangerous moment. I also hope you can tide over the difficulties with us... Rocky, don't live up to Thor's trust.”
There was a sudden silence between them, and the atmosphere became a little low and quiet.
After a long time, Odin said, ”you always want to know why I adopted you, right? Adopt you, the son of Laurie!” Rocky under the throne raised his head in surprise and looked at his adoptive father in some confusion.
”The war with the ice giants has become a memory. Most asgards have long forgotten this history, but in my memory, the war between us and the ice giants without destroyed civilization was once very tragic... They once had a very powerful war civilization.”
”That's totally different from those barbarians in your memory...”
”Our enemy is very powerful. The dark elves continue to sneak into Asgard for destruction. The dark stars are ready to move, and the elves and dwarves have other ideas... And the Frost Giant pestered our army on the battlefield, and the form was once in danger.”
”At that time, our old enemies had a civilization no inferior to ours. They had no fear of anyone except the disaster of apocalypse.”
Odin's voice was slowly low, and his eyes were gradually distant, as if he looked at the distant history through time, and rocky had some vague emotions with Odin's narration.
”It's strange, isn't it? But my child, you need to know that no civilization is born strong. They all have to undergo painful honing and desperate transformation until they pay a heavy price and drink the blood of Heroes... In order to forge brilliant brilliance. In this process, it needs to break its backbone and torture the soul of this civilization. Only after several degrees of bathing can they achieve a great success Civilization. ”
”On this road, there are beasts like the dark elves and ice giants who have failed in the war and almost become blood and hair. There are also beasts who have lost their autonomy like dwarves and elves and choose to succumb to other great civilizations. More like humans... There are few civilizations that are still hobbling forward, such as Asgard.”
Odin stroked the blindfold of his left eye, his hands trembled slightly, and he could hardly hold the scepter. He kicked his breath and said excitedly to rocky: ”you may wonder why I insisted on participating in the stupid and complex entanglement of mankind, at such a painful price. You think this is the reason why I dote on Thor, but I want to tell you...”
Odin looked at Rocky with empty eyes, took him two steps back in horror, and said word by word: ”in my heart, there is nothing more important than Asgard!”
With these words, Odin seemed to have lost all his strength. He leaned on the throne, stretched out a finger and touched the head of the crow on his shoulder. The crow croaked twice and rubbed Odin intimately: ”Haiji (thinking) has died, and how can the shepherd (memory) live alone...”
Before he finished, the crow standing on Odin's shoulder was afraid to return to the sky with wings, leaving scattered feathers in the sky and disappearing in front of rocky. Rocky watched the crow's soul turn into two, flew to the atrium, hovered on the battlefield in Washington, and returned to the bodies of the two crows who died next to the ancient snake Chen ang in the tragic battlefield surrounded by lava.
”They returned to the embrace of death...” Odin said with a trace of sadness: ”A long time ago, when Asgard and the ice giant were stuck in battle, they guided me to the world tree, the miracle place of the nine worlds - the spring of wisdom. At the cost of one eye, I prayed to the world tree for the wisdom of defeating the ice giant, and then I succeeded in defeating raufi... He also took one of my eyes.”
