Stupid Odin

Living under the same sky, few beings are driven to explore how high the sky is or how vast the earth is.

They take everything for granted.

They don't understand the implications behind a higher sky and a wider earth.

Without Thanos, Odin could have messed around with the Ginnungagap, and its volume would be at least half of what it is now.

And in the world's vast space, how long is a meter, how broad is a square meter, and what kind of air fills the seemingly empty space? All things hide a large number of physical laws, or rules.

Thanos filled those in back then.

Odin and Vili, in their ignorance, even believe all this is as it should be.

But they don't know that Thanos saying he designed "space" itself is the biggest truth of this world.

If the basic attribute contained in Odin's Gungnir wasn't "space" but "fate," Thanos might have had some trouble taking that spear.

Space, huh!

That's alright then!

As a God-King, it would be a disgrace to be killed by an enemy using the God-King's own signature skill!

Moreover, after Odin embraced Chaos, he shouldn't have habitually thrown that spear at Thanos!

You, Odin, have turned into Chaos, shouldn't you be using your huge, exaggerated body to fight me in close combat? Why are you still habitually using the fancy tricks that Order-side powerhouses play?

Thanos almost burst out laughing.

Of course, he wouldn't remind Odin.

Odin choosing to violate all the laws of order means Thanos has cleared his karmic debts. After the karmic bonds are broken, in the eyes of the world's will, Odin can no longer be considered Thanos's brother.

What Thanos has to do, of course, is... beat Odin up!

"Pierce through this pitiful chaotic creature! Gungnir!"

In the past, Thanos wouldn't have given such a general command.

Before the divine sword had a sword spirit, Thanos had to remotely control the divine sword, not only injecting powerful energy but also spending mental energy to guide the divine sword to fly at different speeds and pierce the opponent's body at what angle.

A divine sword with a sword spirit is a completely different existence.

Thanos pointed his right hand, and the first to shoot out was the Sword of Muspelheim, which housed the remnant soul of the fire giant ancestor Surtur.

This sword, with its fiery attack, erupted with a violent aura like a volcanic eruption. Even Odin instinctively refused to take it head-on.

His eight-legged steed, Sleipnir, flew, drawing an arc in a very short time, barely dodging this sea of fire.

Little did he know, creating distance was what Thanos really wanted.

Following closely behind the first sword was the more secretive Sword of Helheim, which suddenly emerged from the shadows between Sleipnir's left third and fourth legs, stabbing upwards towards Odin's waist like lightning.

Even though Odin managed to dodge to the right at the last moment, he still couldn't avoid having a terrifying gash ten meters long and one meter deep cut into his left leg.

What made Odin even more uneasy was that, in theory, he should have unlimited self-healing ability because his body was filled with the power of Chaos.

But that wasn't the case!

The power of Hel symbolizes the "death" of all things!

Death doesn't distinguish between Chaos and Order; for the concept of death itself, dead is dead.

Such a large wound was just there, and even the chaotic power in Odin's body thought it was a dead thing not worth saving.

Before Odin had time to be surprised, the third sword arrived.

This time it was the conventional Sword of Midgard. Odin took out a clearly crude weapon from the saddlebag, made by binding a circle of iron to the top of a huge pine tree to make a nail-studded club, and smashed it hard at the divine sword.

With a "clang," he barely managed to knock the sword away.

But at this time, the Sword of Jotunheim stabbed Sleipnir's butt.

The intense pain made the hind four legs of the eight-legged horse straighten, and the whole horse stood up on the spot.

This instinctive reaction put Odin in even greater danger—the remaining five divine swords attacked Odin from various unbelievable angles.

This kind of fighting style, where the sword master was hundreds of meters away and the flying swords attacked on their own, made Odin seem flustered and once ignored the existence of Thanos himself.

By the time Odin reacted, they were already thousands of meters apart.

It wasn't that Thanos had retreated on his own; Thanos hadn't moved at all. It was just that Odin had unconsciously moved away from the target when he was forced to.

Odin could create distance, but it wouldn't be so easy to close the distance again.

Icebergs! Seas of fire! Mist! Death! Radiance!

Divine swords of different attributes took turns harassing Odin.

Even riding the eight-legged Sleipnir, every step Odin took forward required him or his horse to pay the price of at least one wound.

And every wound contained terrible order power that he couldn't resolve for a while. This kind of fighting made Odin feel extremely frustrated!

He and his mount were roaring, launching a bloody charge against the enemy.

It seemed magnificent, but it was actually very stupid.

Thinking that this distance was created by him losing his composure, Odin's mentality exploded: "Thanos!"

Odin roared angrily.

Just listening to his voice and feeling this momentum, it seemed like he was the one on the upper hand.

In reality, it was exactly the opposite!

From the moment the Sword of Alfheim sharply cut off one of Sleipnir's right legs, the eight divine swords began the act of dismembering Odin and his horse.

After the sword souls adapted to Odin's attack frequency and speed, their attacks became more and more wanton.

To the point that several divine swords with sword souls coordinated their attacks—

Often, the fire sword would attract Odin's attention, while the death sword and the sea sword would sneak attack, and once successful, the ice sword and the earth sword and other divine swords would expand the results of the battle.

All Thanos had to do was spare some mental energy to control the few divine swords without sword souls.

Interestingly, his will was the highest. Although those sword souls were Thanos's mortal enemies when they were alive, after losing their self-will, their attacks, driven by instinct, all cooperated with Thanos's tactics.

After a few rounds, the eight-legged horse became a four-legged horse again.

Unfortunately, the four legs on the right half were all removed.

Odin fell to the ground in great embarrassment as his mount fell. When he stood up again, the divine swords had already flown over from various angles.

Relying on the powerful vitality that the power of Chaos gave him, Odin resisted the bombardment of the sword rain and quickly approached Thanos.

Closer!

Even closer!

With ten steps left, he could smash that hated face with the nail-studded club in his hand.

Odin couldn't wait to see what kind of face his hateful big brother, the hateful God-King, would make when he was beaten.

Five steps!

Three steps!

Here!?

Just as Odin raised the nail-studded club in his hand, a huge air shock wave hit him in the chest, blasting his huge body hundreds of meters away.

It wasn't until the dazed Odin got up that he heard Thanos's words from afar: "Odin! You looked very handsome just now when you were charging, probably the most courageous charge you've ever made in your life. I... can I ask you to perform it again?"

It's too cold, I won't stay up late, I'll post it with the update in the evening.
