Chapter 1155 - New Master of the Nine Worlds (1/2)

Once the Midgard continent was freed from the hazard of magic radiation, and the people of Twilight Capital began to build their new home in the wilderness, Odin returned to his home, which he left 2,000 years ago.

The Garden of Asgard, the divine realm.

Despite having received a series of emergency treatments, Odin was still very weak. After disembarking from the spherical flying craft of Anthony Alfonso, he had been unable to stand for quite some time. But he refused to rest. After regaining a little strength, he walked into the ruins of the Garden of Asgard.

Seeing his home being reduced to a ruin, the once mighty otherworldling, the king of the gods, fell into a long silence. Odin’s white hair fluttered in the cold wind of Asgard. He stood there for a long while before taking a deep breath and said, “It’s all gone.”

“There is a Valkyrie still,” Hao Ren said.

“Yes, but there is only one left.” Odin seemed to force a smile, but his expression was very subtle, almost imperceptible.

“Asgard has the best-preserved ecosystem of all the Nine Worlds. Though it is the starting point of the chain of explosions, it is the least affected.” Vivian looked at the lush forest outside the Garden of Asgard. “Compared to the other Nine Worlds, this is a paradise. Are you regret leaving this place so hurriedly? Had you found a place to hide in Asgard for a few years, you would not have to go through the 2,000-year torment in Midgard.”

Odin looked at the ruins with a smile, his expression was somewhat relieved. “I’m kicking myself for fleeing this place already.”

At first, Hao Ren thought that Odin would be unregretful, never did he expect this king of the gods was so unashamedly honest. Before he could give Odin words of praise, the words choked in his throat. Coughing a few times and managing to regain his voice, Hao Ren said, “You’re so blatantly honest.”

“Having been through a lot, I’ve learned to move on.” Odin grinned. “Had I foreseen the situation of the Nine Worlds after the explosion, I wouldn’t have fled all the way to Midgard and breath the radioactive air for two thousand years. As difficult as life staying back here, it would be still so much more bearable than sitting like a dead man on the Iron Throne.”

Everyone was speechless.

“Of course, this is not all,” Odin said. “As much as I regretted not staying back in Asgard, I would be equally devastated had I given up the millions of lives in Twilight Capital. It would have been more comfortable staying back in Asgard, but by going to Midgard, I saved millions of people for the past 2,000 years. It was between the devil and the deep blue sea.”

Listening to the old man’s baring his soul, Hao Ren’s initial urge to mock him had faded away.

He realized that this was the real Odin in flesh and blood. Discarding the aura of the so-called King of the Gods, the fascination of the thousand-year-old ancient sage, the merit of sheltering Twilight Capital, and the history of enslaving humankind, Odin was merely a mortal. He was not really a god but just the leader of the otherworldlings exiling on Earth.

Deep inside Valhalla, the mad Valkyrie was still steadfast in her duty.

This time, they did not encounter any resistance as they entered the deepest part of the Halls of Valhalla. In the monitoring hall, the Valkyrie had been expecting them. As Hao Ren first entered the hall, he saw the Valkyrie, with a sword that glowed in lightning, crouched on a console like a ferocious beast. She was alarmed, hair messy, and mind unsound—the expression of her face clearly said so. But just to receive her new order, she had changed a better set of armor, which she had salvaged from somewhere.

The Valkyrie was not entirely crazy though, as she still seemed to retain some level of logical thinking.

“Don’t come any further!” The Valkyrie clutched her sword and stared at Hao Ren nervously, groaning threateningly. “Stop there!”

“Relax. Don’t you remember me?” Hao Ren quickly waved his hand. “I’m Hao Ren. I have helped you to find Odin.”

“Ahh, I remember you,” said the Valkyrie, after thinking for a long while before finally remembering him. Tucking her sword away, she said, “You have gone to our Father. You promise me to bring new orders from our Holy Father. Have you got it?”

“Here I have brought Odin.” Hao Ren smiled, stepping aside.

Odin walked into the hall, directly facing the Valkyrie.

The two of them did not say a thing for ten seconds.

“Ahh, Odin is now so thin that the Valkyrie may not recognize him,” Lily suddenly said.

Flaky at times, the husky may have hit the nail on the head this time. But just as everyone was trying to figure out what to do next, the Valkyrie suddenly said, “Identity confirmed. Valkyrie awaits your order!”

Hao Ren wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and smacked Lily on the head. “Stop talking sh*t next time,’ he chided.

“I was just giving my opinion,” Lily said, upset.
