Stupid Odin

Chapter 149 An Agreement Implies…

To escape, Odin couldn't care less about anything else.

With his wisdom, how could he possibly understand the profound concepts of cause and effect, and destiny?

The soul crystal did indeed contain Hela's curse.

This was merely a facade; as long as a slightly more powerful magic user appeared, even if they weren't a true god, they could break it.

The true core within was 【Cause and Effect】!

When Tang Si entered the Jötunheimr world, he was sheltered by the world and protected by Paul, bearing immense cause and effect.

Tang Si spent half a century, relying on Odin's tireless self-destruction, to completely sever their cause and effect, successfully seizing the magpie's nest.

Now that they were even, if Tang Si released Odin, then Odin would owe Tang Si cause and effect.

If Odin repented and became a commoner after leaving, then this cause and effect would be small.

Conversely, if Odin went crazy and courted death, daring to be a guide while owing Tang Si such a huge cause and effect, then this destiny curse would be enormous.

This was a favor on the level of a God-King!

All favors had their price marked in destiny!

In the process of using the soul crystal, Loki seemed to sever the soul crystal's shackles on Odin, but in reality, countless, imperceptible threads of destiny re-enveloped Odin's fragmented soul.

Yet Odin didn't notice at all.

He thought this was a necessary process to hide from Tang Si's perception with a necromantic curse; even when he was suddenly attacked by a strong sense of soul palpitations, he felt it was to be expected.

When Odin's soul was transferred to the crimson soul crystal and left that soul prison for the first time after falling into despair, Odin almost cheered loudly.

Odin discovered that the two dull-witted Royal Guards guarding the door hadn't noticed anything, and he really wanted to laugh out loud.

Hold it in!

Don't be reckless!

After leaving the palace treasury, Odin finally couldn't help but ask: 【Loki! Where are you taking me?】

“Another world! There's no point in you staying in the Jötunheimr world. The Norns can deduce where your soul is.”

Odin's soul shuddered.

Ah! How could I forget Verdandi?

Odin suddenly remembered that he had offended Verdandi, who controlled 【the present】 of fate, to death, and couldn't help but feel afraid, quickly changing the subject: 【What do you mean by another world?】

Loki, the master of acting, looked around with a realistic expression of doing something sneaky, and only felt relieved when he noticed that there were far fewer golden-armored guards patrolling the street, and whispered: “I only found out these past few days that there is another independent order world connected to the Jötunheimr world.”

【Ah?!】

“I heard that world was even bigger than Jötunheimr before. That being the case, sending you over there will allow you to escape the fate goddess's soul tracing.”

【Send me over there? Can it be done?】 Odin never thought there would be such a good thing, and he was almost excited to moan.

“It can be done, and it has to be tonight. I heard that Heimdall has been called by Tang Si to drink tonight. It's Ullr guarding the Rainbow Bridge. I know he was half-drunk before his shift. Maybe there's a chance!”

Normally, Odin would never believe that the damned loyal dog Heimdall would abandon his post.

This was a grand celebration after defeating 【Ragnarok】, so it was understandable.

Sure enough, Loki sneaked all the way to the Rainbow Bridge and saw Ullr, the god of archery, snoring loudly.

Loki tiptoed to the Rainbow Bridge's control panel, fiddling with something non-stop. Odin was so nervous that he was about to be scared out of his wits for a full ten minutes.

【Loki! Is it ready yet?】

“It's ready! I finally found this thing.” Loki cursed Tang Si in his heart for being outrageous. As soon as he activated the Rainbow Bridge, he immediately found that the 【Alpha】 coordinates were highlighted on the crystal ball control panel, and he, Loki, even had temporary authorization. This made Loki perform a ten-minute solo performance, pretending not to understand, and fiddling with it in various ways.

Loki was actually more afraid that he would accidentally get rid of the set coordinates.

Performing how he would turn the system upside down and fiddling with it without being able to move too many things was a test of acting skills!

Loki was really nervous to the point of sweating.

Finally, Loki felt the time was right and placed the crimson crystal containing Odin's remnant soul on the Rainbow Bridge's teleportation base.

False is true, and true is false!

Loki looked at Odin and said earnestly: “Odin! Promise me one thing.”

【Tell me.】

“If you can safely go to that world, then reincarnate properly and be a mortal. Don't even think about revenge. You should know that you can never beat Tang Si.” This wasn't acting; this was Loki's sincere words.

As clever as Loki was, he had long guessed Tang Si's overt scheme—if Odin really let go of his hatred, Tang Si would no longer use Odin, letting Odin be a passerby and gradually disappear from his sight. But if Odin insisted on courting death, then Tang Si's follow-up moves would definitely be one after another, making Odin unable to resist.

Loki sincerely hoped that Odin would wash his hands and not mess around.

But the reason why an overt scheme is an overt scheme is that it has calculated everything and is simply unsolvable.

When Odin seemingly earnestly swore: 【I promise you, I will no longer be an enemy of Big Brother】, Loki's heart sank straight into the abyss.

Loki knew Odin too well. When Odin easily swore or made promises, it often meant that Odin had no intention of fulfilling the promise at all.

So that's how it is, then don't blame me.

Loki felt a sense of relief in his heart. The threads of destiny symbolizing brotherly love were so faint and transparent, and were cut off by Odin with malice.

Loki seemed to see Odin's drifting fate like a withered leaf in autumn, gradually falling slowly.

“Odin! Take care!”

【Loki, you too.】

“Hopefully, we'll never meet again.”

【Farewell!】

A beam of brilliant rainbow light soared into the sky, pierced the firmament, broke through the barrier of the world, and reached beyond the world.

Watching Odin leave, Loki suddenly felt nauseous and couldn't help but stagger half a step, feeling very itchy in his throat, and vomited with a "wah" sound.

“Bah! Disgusting!”

At this moment, Heimdall, who was sitting at the wine table set up in the Silver Palace, drinking with his father, immediately changed his expression when he saw the brilliance of the Rainbow Bridge, and picked up the divine sword on the table, wanting to rush out.

“Calm down, Heimdall, I asked Loki to do it.”

“Ah?!” The pure white Aesir god showed a surprised expression on his face, and then smiled wryly: “Father, you should have told me earlier.”

“No, you're too rigid. If I told you in advance, you would have ruined the act.” Tang Si smiled and drank the fine wine in his glass in one gulp: “Come, come, continue drinking with me.”

“……”

“Don't think too much, tomorrow I will announce everything to the core members.”

“Yes, Father!”
