Chapter 343 - 343: Odin

Odin

From some of the stories that Van had heard, he was supposed to be the strongest of all the Aesir; and perhaps even the strongest in all of the 9 Real Aesir still alive from the Great War that had happened tens of thousands of years ago

He was the one single-handedly responsible for keeping all the other races in check Although Van had only heard brief stories about him, he knew that he was feared by even Surtr-- that alone should show the th

And now, not even a week after arriving in Asgard, Odin was already right in front of hiht that old man Bjorn looked like someone that would be na him outside the city, not a coincidence? Could they truly have known of his presence since he arrived, and were just waiting for a chance to entrap him in a place that would impede his speed? Point in case, a thick and lush forest inside an invisible dome?

Then wouldn't that mean…

"You betrayedchoice"

"Heavens, no," Estrid just casually sat back on the bench as she gestured to Odin to couy knows of your existence here"

"It is a pleasure to finally elineson"

"What?"

Van could not help but slightly move a few steps back as Bjorn, now apparently Odin, stretched his hand towards hie whether or not the doic; and if so, will he be able to burst his way through it

As he thought of that, he ilance as his eyes lit up

"King Evans, please Listen to what he has to say," Estrid calmly said, "I promise you withEstrid looking at hi and filled with intent, the flickers of lightning that were building up around Van slowly started to dissipate He then turned his focus on Odin, who still had his hand stretched towards hi your hands," Van said as he suround

"And as for Lady Estrid, this is honestly only the 2nd ti her; I didn't even know that she ho she was until you arrived in Asgard," Odin explained, "The first tio, back when I was but a child following in my father's footsteps"

"What?"

"I have known that he was Odin for a very long time, but my true identity was still unknown to him," Estrid joined in on the conversation "Did you think that I would be pretending to be a child inside a randoe for no reason? It is as Odin said, my existence was a secret to hie-- as aEvans"

"What?" Was the only word that Van could utter Once again, he was re it was to be in the presence of Athena, whose own breathing was plain in and of itself
