Stupid Odin

The myths and history of Jötunheimr were basically passed down to the British Isles unchanged by various priests and bards.

The story of the Celtic War, however, was cleverly modified by the 'Jötunheimr Scribal Style':

The greatest evil god became Bres, who, on the one hand, took advantage of Nuada's initial predicament of losing his hand to squeeze the Tuatha Dé Danann, and also colluded with Elatha, the chieftain of the Fomorian Chaos Giants, because Bres was actually Elatha's son.

After Bres seized control of the Emerald Isle with the help of the Chaos Giants, he nominally gave the throne to the remnant soul of Odin exiled to Celtic lands, fearing another uprising from mortals.

The insidious Bres propped Odin up as a puppet, while he himself manipulated everything behind the scenes.

Unfortunately, the collusion between Odin and Bres was discovered by His Majesty the wise and martial God-King, which led to the Aesir gods supporting the mortal allied forces of the Three Islands at a critical moment, defeating Chaos in one fell swoop, and regaining control of the world.

To be honest, this story is perfectly crafted.

At least from a mortal's perspective, no hidden agenda can be discerned.

It goes that His Majesty the God-King couldn't bear to see his brothers turn against each other, so he exiled the rebellious brother's soul, only for it to be exploited by the evil God-King Bres.

Ahem!

Anyway, Bres's divine soul has been refined by a certain God-King into a sword spirit, merging with the newly forged [Celtic Sword], and the fact that Bres once abused the Tuatha Dé Danann gods is also true.

When the God-King ordered this story to be fabricated and told to mortals, the Tuatha Dé Danann gods, who had benefited greatly, decisively spoke with one voice—Yes! It's all Bres's fault!

A group of Tuatha Dé Danann envoys even vividly described to the believers how shameless Bres was back then, forcing the Tuatha Dé Danann gods to build city walls while collecting heavy taxes to pay tribute to his father, Elatha.

It's all Bres's fault!

In contrast, the mere remnant soul of Odin didn't play much of a role at all.

The mortals of Jötunheimr were stunned by this story: Odin, that guy stirred up [Ragnarok] in Jötunheimr, and then went to Celtic lands to do so little?

The various races of Jötunheimr had not experienced the Battle of the Emerald Isle, so they could only believe whatever was said to them.

Thus, this artistically embellished story was written into the history books.

Not many beings know that Thanes repeatedly indulged Odin purely to fish.

And no second being knows that Thanes actually used a 'God-King of an era' as bait.

Many times, it's not a question of whether Odin is willing to continue rebelling, but that he must rebel. His very existence is the best excuse for others to deal with Jötunheimr.

Unless Odin is determined and can conceal his origins and whereabouts…

On the other hand, Odin still doesn't know that he is Thanes's true vanguard.

Thanes receives the Visions of Fate provided by Odin while completing the integration of the Celtic world.

Several years passed in a flash.

The Celts lived and worked in peace, and the Tuatha Dé Danann and the new gods newly promoted by Thanes were completely integrated into the Aesir.

For newcomers, Thanes would give certain policy preferences, but when it came to their conflicts, Thanes truly treated everyone fairly, dealing with matters, not gods.

Of course, these Tuatha Dé Danann gods and new gods were definitely at the bottom of the god hierarchy.

As the saying goes, they need a war to prove their loyalty to the Aesir.

Thanes would tease girls when he had nothing to do, occasionally shrink his body and spar with Scáthach.

Most of the time, he would spread out the God-King's perception to explore the environment ahead of the world.

In the chaotic universe, it's difficult to talk about direction and order. Most of the time, the world is like traveling in a mass of paste.

Thanes once suspected that the Jötunheimr world was spinning in place.

He sent out many small stones containing seeds of order outside the world, especially wrapped in chaos. With that ultra-high order energy density, it could survive in the chaotic universe for a hundred years.

This was based on the standard set by Thanes when he drifted alone before entering the Jötunheimr world.

Since then, Thanes has never recovered these released order beacons.

This can only prove one thing: either the Jötunheimr world is not in a ring current, or this ring current is so large that one cycle requires a century as the unit of measurement.

The muddy yellow chaotic universe gives people the feeling of being vast and endless. Whether it's nebulae or meteorites and asteroids floating in the void, everything is completely permeated by the power of chaos, exuding a stench of corrosion and distortion.

Occasionally, the Kraken exploring the way or the barrier of the Jötunheimr world would encounter some medium and small chaotic demon monsters. These chaotic demon monsters are not necessarily in the form of giants, they come in all kinds of deformed shapes. They float in the void, and occasionally when they meet each other, they will decide the outcome through fighting, devouring the loser to make themselves stronger.

However, such guys are too small. Like moths rushing to a fire, once they touch it, they will be evaporated in an instant, and will not even produce feedback in Thanes's divine sense.

This day was different from the past.

Just a few thousand meters ahead of the Kraken, a golden 'small' celestial body appeared. The golden radiance it emitted dispersed the chaotic clouds within a radius of hundreds of kilometers, illuminating the surrounding space.

Thanes, who 'saw' this scene through his divine sense, was stunned and also felt a burst of joy.

"Are there finally guests?" Thanes felt a long-lost sense of novelty.

Even after the world merged, there were big and small trivial matters that needed him to deal with every day. After a long period of peace, it's normal to feel bored.

Now it's different, the Kraken's soul in front was hit head-on.

Long arrows pierced the air, and exaggerated divine light cannons traversed the universe.

As the embodiment of the opponent's divine power, a huge light arrow bombarded the Kraken's soul at a speed close to that of a cannonball.

If this attack happened inside the Jötunheimr world, such an attack would be enough to collapse mountains, sink the earth of a small world, and even shake the world barrier.

However, this is the chaotic universe. The chaotic clouds wandering in the chaotic space are enough to curb the endless spread of this force of order.

In fact, this also covered the Jötunheimr world, which was 100,000 kilometers behind.

Thanes decisively contacted the world will: [Jötunheimr! The soul of the monster I sent ahead is under attack by the power of order. I estimate that another world is waiting for us not far ahead. Can you stop drifting immediately?]

[Yes!]

The Jötunheimr world began to 'slam on the brakes' in the void.

This is not a simple matter. Although the movement of the world in the chaotic universe is a very slow process, the process of such a large world going from drifting with the tide to relative stillness is equivalent to a slight 1 or 2 magnitude earthquake for the sentient beings within the world.

"What's going on?" The Aesir gods rushed to the Golden Palace to inquire.

"There are new guests!"

This news immediately plunged Asgard into a kind of frenzied excitement.
