Stupid Odin

#147 - The bait named "Odin"

Loki didn't dare to sleep the entire night.

Before dawn the next day, Loki waited anxiously outside Thors' palace, not daring to ask the Valkyrie to wake him up. He waited for a full three hours, until eight in the morning, when he finally heard the Valkyrie tell him, "His Majesty is awake."

Loki immediately requested an audience and was quickly granted permission.

"Your Supreme Majesty, good morning," Loki said, trying his best to maintain respect and etiquette towards Thors, even though he felt completely out of sorts.

"What is it that requires you so early?" Thors looked at Loki, slightly surprised.

"Last night, I... I went to see Odin's remnant soul. He, he asked me to save him."

Loki was honest, telling Thors everything that happened last night in detail.

Having experienced such great ups and downs, Loki in front of Thors had little of the mischievous god about him.

He was unusually obedient!

After listening to Loki's account, Thors smiled: "Save him? Even if he comes out, is resurrected, where in the vast Nine Realms would he have a place to stand?"

Loki smiled timidly: "Perhaps he just doesn't want to stay in that soul cage. It must not be a pleasant place."

"No!" Thors shook his head: "I replicated the world inside that soul crystal according to the Golden Palace he lived in, exactly one to one."

Loki's facial muscles twitched slightly: Perhaps this is the root of Odin's remnant soul's pain! Killing the god and then tormenting his soul, Your Majesty Thors, are you not doing this on purpose?

Loki continued to smile ingratiatingly: "No, I didn't mean anything by it. It's just that after this happened, I felt it was necessary to inform Your Majesty. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."

"Wait."

"Uh?" Thors' sudden retention made Loki a little unsure of what this all-knowing and all-powerful Majesty was thinking.

Thors stroked his chin.

He was also considering something: Now that Odin had been stripped of his core soul nucleus and soul body, the remaining small wisp of soul was no different from that of a mortal, not even worthy of being called a Heroic Spirit. Actually, at this point, whether continuing to imprison Odin's soul or completely dissipating it, there was little significance in doing so.

In the end, he was just a cuckoo who had taken over the nest, a foreign god-king who had completely succeeded in taking the throne.

He himself had no ill feelings towards Odin.

His grudges with Odin had also ended here. If he were to have his priests write a chronicle of this history, "The Foolish Brother Odin," by this point, the book would likely have to be renamed.

Thors had to consider another matter: how to devour the unknown world on the other side.

He had sent three waves of Heroic Spirits, including Beowulf, and had not received any news back. He couldn't rashly attack the other world without any intelligence, could he?

That would just be a wave of sending food!

But the world on the other side was right there, and Thors couldn't ignore it at all.

The problem was that the Jötnar World had been cultivated by Thors to be too "orderly."

It had integrity! It valued morality! It kept its word!

Such a world had its advantages and disadvantages: the advantage was that it was easy to rule and manage, the disadvantage was that it lacked aggressiveness.

If this were the original Aesir tribe worshiped by countless Viking pirates, Thors would have sent his men to chop people without a second thought.

It was too "orderly," which meant that it was necessary to fabricate an excuse for war.

Transforming from a dutiful, orderly world into an expansionist world required a process.

Then this process...

Having Odin, this foolish brother, promote it seemed like a good idea.

It was completely imaginable what Odin, filled with vengeance, would do if he successfully went to the other world—he would first frantically slander Thors, belittle the Aesir tribe to the point of worthlessness, and then boast that the Jötnar World was in internal strife, a typical case of being large but not strong.

Then the ruler of the other side would easily form an illusion—that they could shift the internal contradictions through external warfare.

It should be known that Thors was a transmigrator from China, and that kind of self-sufficient mindset was unique to China in the world's national forest. For most primitive civilizations and non-Chinese civilizations, the more problems they had, the more they needed to shift the contradictions through external warfare. This was their 'normal way of thinking'.

If they could grab meat to eat, the internal contradictions would naturally be suppressed.

What's more, letting Odin go seemed to leak many secrets of Jötnar, but in reality, Odin, that illiterate, could not possibly understand how many physical laws Thors used when reshaping the world.

These things could not be understood by a god-level primitive.

The Jötnar World was larger than the world on the other side, and Thors also had the advantage of fighting defensively on his home turf. He could completely play a game of [Wrath of Order] at that time.

It couldn't be said whether this was a planned strategy.

After all, twin worlds were just so troublesome. They were too close to each other, and if they weren't handled well, and the other side became chaotic, Thors would still have a headache.

In a short half-minute, thousands of thoughts flashed through Thors' mind, and finally, he made up his mind.

"Loki! I will tell you a secret about the world!" With that, Thors waved his hand, and the star chart of the Jötnar World and the unknown world on the other side was displayed in Loki's mental sea.

The latest novels are first published at Liu 9 Shu Ba!

"This is..." Loki widened his eyes in disbelief.

Thors gestured to Brunhilde: "You may leave."

"Yes!"

After the Valkyries all retreated, Loki had just recovered from the shock.

"Opposite the Jötnar World, there is another slightly smaller world. Since the ambition in my foolish brother's heart has not been extinguished, let him go there. If Odin can instigate the other side to actively attack our Jötnar, I will save a lot of trouble."

"Ah, is this Your Majesty's grand plan?"

Thors only mentioned that he had sent some Heroic Spirits to scout the way, but did not reply, only saying: "As long as Odin's remnant soul goes there and gains a foothold, he will definitely do so. By then, the damage he has caused to the Jötnar World can be compensated for."

This was also the absolute truth.

Odin's chaos in the central area was quite painful for the Jötnar World.

Even if the chaos was eliminated, it would still be a matter of hurting the bones and muscles.

If Thors could let Jötnar swallow the world on the other side and use the origin of the other world to compensate for the losses of Jötnar, the world would probably be very happy!

At this time, Loki didn't know what expression to use to face his cousin Thors.

Looking back at Odin's rebellion at this time, it was simply ridiculous.

Wasn't Odin just hopping around in Thors' palm from beginning to end? In reality, Thors could crush Odin to death with a pinch?

The more Loki thought about it, the more he felt that he had discovered the truth of the matter.

He deeply lowered his head: "If Odin does this, will Your Majesty forgive his sins?"

"If Odin really does it, no matter what his purpose is, no matter what trouble he causes, he will have contributed to the world."

In the midst of talking and laughing, Thors threw out a bait called [Odin]. Whether or not they would bite depended on who the boss on the other side was.
