Stupid Odin

Every myth begins with a similar opening: a certain god cleaved chaos, creating heaven and earth.

Thanos never imagined that even as a god, he would almost be trapped to death in this space called [Chaos].

The scenery before him was almost unchanged. The boundless chaotic mist churned endlessly in the distance. No stars could be seen, nothing at all. Civilization disappeared beyond the dense fog, and only the chaotic, unclear light penetrated the mist, maintaining a semi-dim illumination in the hundred-meter-diameter spherical space around him, which was so quiet it was maddening.

Despite being weak, the power of chaos was constantly weakening his divine power.

After what felt like a century, he finally waited for the only opportunity.

Presented before him were two worlds connected inseparably, forming a symbol of infinity: [∞].

All Thanos could do was choose one of these two worlds, both filled with chaotic energy and just beginning to become ordered.

However, one world was very slow to become ordered, while the faster world was smaller in size. When Thanos saw a flame giant thousands of meters tall wielding a giant sword, creating a sea of fire in one world that clashed with the ice on the other side, he suddenly knew who it was.

The fire giant who created the world in Norse mythology and ended it in [Ragnarok]—Surtur!

Thanos lightly raised the corner of his mouth: "Since I have no choice, then I will lead you to break free from the fate of destruction!"

… …

Several years later.

Under the pitch-black sky, Odin, only three meters tall but still with a childish face, traversed the forest with exaggerated strides of five meters. Ten-meter-tall snow pines would snap and fall like matchsticks, scattering large patches of snow, if he so much as brushed against them.

Suddenly, a gust of wind rushed behind his head, and Odin couldn't help but feel a pang of fear in his heart.

There was no time to dodge.

His divine body instantly grew larger, transforming into a five-meter-tall giant. He turned around, crossing his hands and feet in front of him, and forcibly took the train-sized boulder thrown from behind.

"Bang!" Gravel splashed everywhere.

The enormous impact sent Odin flying backward, causing him to let out a whimper like a defeated dog.

He crashed through several towering trees in an extremely disheveled state, and Odin felt dizzy and almost couldn't get up.

"Awoo—" A long and savage roar came from behind.

A terrifying giant five stories tall chased after him with the momentum of crushing everything. His warty feet shook the earth with every step, startling the birds and beasts in the forest into fleeing in all directions.

His crooked mouth dripped with gluttonous saliva, and his blood-red eyes contained even more frenzied killing intent.

Odin had no doubt that if he was caught by the giant, he would be devoured alive on the spot.

However, transforming into a five-meter-tall giant was already the limit that his underage god could normally achieve.

Without further hesitation, Odin let out a heart-wrenching cry.

"Brother, save me—"

Odin's voice was so sincere that Thanos, who was sitting cross-legged on a cliff not far away, sighed deeply.

For a moment, Thanos had considered letting Odin, this troublesome god-king, kick the bucket.

That's right, Thanos had transmigrated into this world and inexplicably become the eldest of the three generations of gods in the Norse Aesir pantheon. The famous Aesir god-king Odin had instead become his younger brother.

No one knew better than a transmigrator how rotten Odin was—to put it nicely, he was conquering in all directions, but in reality, he hadn't wiped out a single family. When faced with major events, he would deny everything and refuse to acknowledge anything. In the end, because of his arrogance and indulgence towards the trickster god Loki, the Aesir gods suffered the classic [Ragnarok] event, leading to the near-total annihilation of the entire race.

These were 'future' messes.

At this point in time, when this world had not yet formed a true order and even the sky was in a state of eternal darkness, the invincible Aesir gods of Norse mythology were just a few barbarians fighting with giants for territory. Their divine power was temporarily limited to changing the size of their bodies.

Thanos glanced at the 'precarious' Odin and sighed.

Odin would eventually fall, but it must not be now.

Upon entering this world, Thanos had inherited the karma of the second-generation god-king Borr.

If he allowed Odin to die, Thanos would inevitably suffer the most terrifying karmic backlash.

Thanos spoke.

Unlike the immature Odin, the moment Thanos's voice came out, it immediately stirred up a torrent of elemental power. If one carefully tasted it, one could even feel the rhythm of the laws within his voice.

"Foolish brother Odin!"

Odin's face darkened, and he lamented in his heart: 'Big brother is saying that to me again.'

He didn't want to listen to the lecture, but who told him to court death, running out to hunt on his own and attracting a wandering giant?

"Brother, I know I was wrong!" Odin almost rolled and crawled, rushing towards the direction from which Thanos's voice came.

His elder brother's lecture continued: "I've said it before, when facing a strong enemy, the most important thing is to use your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses. How could you possibly win by competing with a giant in strength?"

"Brother, stop talking, save me quickly—" Odin barely dodged the giant's second rock throw, was almost scared to pee, and shouted non-stop.

"Alas!"

Odin only felt a blur before his eyes, and the surrounding wind and snow suddenly became wild.

A humanoid light and shadow six stories tall quickly condensed and stabilized before Odin's eyes, transforming into a terrifying frost giant.

This giant was covered in ice spikes, and at first glance, he looked incomparably fierce.

Odin knew that this was a fake summoned by his elder brother Thanos, but it gave him an illusion of being incomparably solid and indestructible.

This frost giant was too realistic, it felt like it wasn't just an empty shell, but a frost giant king who embodied the ultimate power and artistic conception!

It was as if it could shatter mountains, cut off rivers, and rewrite the topography of this world within a small range with every gesture.

Odin looked on in stunned silence. No matter how many times he saw it, his elder brother's elemental control still made him feel shaken.

On the other side, with the giant's pitiful intelligence, he seemed unable to understand why a frost giant would suddenly appear to block his path.

"Awoo awoo!" The giant let out an angry roar, punching his chest with his left fist to express his most primitive anger towards the frost giant.

"Whoosh—" The frost giant in front of him very realistically opened his mouth wide, spitting a mouthful of icy wind on the ugly giant's face. This most direct provocation naturally aroused the giant's anger. He indeed raised the cypress tree trunk he used as a club and smashed it fiercely at the 'frost giant'.

At this moment, Odin heard his elder brother's voice in his soul: "Foolish brother, if you don't want to be punished by father, then kill this giant with your own hands."

"Thank you, brother!" Odin's eyes lit up, and while the giant was being distracted by the fake frost giant, Odin's height actually increased again, transforming into an eight-meter-tall strongman. He jumped a few steps to a nearby ice cliff and then leaped down.

He swung a crudely made giant stone axe in his muscular hand with explosive power.

Even though his height was still a considerable distance from the giant, the jumping slash he launched using the terrain made up for the difference in height.

Seeing this scene, a sharp light flashed in Thanos's eyes.

Perhaps on ordinary days, he was a kind and amiable elder brother, but when his younger brother made a crazy mistake, he still wished that his cheap old man had shot Odin onto the cliff in the first place.

Too stupid!

Transforming into a larger divine body beyond the body's limit, the price was a rapid consumption of divine power.

Don't look at Odin at this moment like an ancient beast that has broken free from its chains, about to devour someone. In reality, accompanied by his thunderous roar, the speed of his axe swing has noticeably decreased.

Even knowing that Odin's actions were simply imitating his old man Borr, even knowing that animals in nature still followed the law of [big is strong], Thanos still felt like vomiting blood.

In fact, at this time, Odin still had a chance to seize the final victory.

If he hadn't chopped down the axe head-on, but had slashed the axe blade diagonally towards the giant's neck, he could have at least cut off half of the giant's neck.

But he just wouldn't learn well, he just had to learn from his old man.

His old man had the power to overturn mountains, could Odin?

Now it's good, the seemingly fierce axe hit the giant's forehead. However, the ugly head of this tough-headed giant, as big as a truck head, was not split into rotten watermelon. The scene that Odin imagined, with red, yellow, and flowery pulp of various colors bursting all over the ground, did not appear.

The pain was real pain, a piece of flesh the size of a water tank was cut off from the giant's forehead.

But this was not fatal to a true giant.

What was even more ridiculous was that, because of the reaction force, Odin was suddenly hit by an unprecedented sense of weakness while being bounced away. He instinctively wanted to struggle, but because of insufficient divine power, he couldn't continue to maintain the enlargement of his divine body. The sudden and rapid shrinking of his body caused Odin to step into the air.

Just like that, Odin actually slid into the giant's big mouth.

"Ah ah ah ah—" The young Odin was scared to pee.

At this moment, a dazzling white light flashed across the giant's thick neck, as hard as a rock.

Only then did Odin notice that the frost giant, who was originally a bit illusory and translucent, had become incredibly real, along with the ice axe in his hand.

With this axe, the giant's headless corpse softly collapsed, like a mountain collapsing, crushing a forest of trees with a crackling sound.

Crisis resolved?

No, with the overall situation settled, Odin, who had almost become the giant's chewing wine, couldn't even pry open the giant's stinky mouth. The giant's jaws locked before his death, and a few large rotten teeth were stuck on Odin's waist, preventing him from moving.

"Brother, save…"

Thanos decisively: "No save!"
