Stupid Odin

Inside the 【Valaskjalf】, Downs sat upon the highest throne, watching his foolish younger brother approaching the entrance from afar. Looking at him, Downs couldn't help but have a steady, magnetic male voice echo in his mind: "Spring has arrived, all things recover, and it's the season for animals to breed again. The air in the mountains and forests is filled with the scent of hormones."

And then, there was no 'then' for Odin.

Every goddess politely thanked Odin for his welcome, but not a single one of them walked in alongside him.

Forget about Odin's primary target, Frigg; not one of these goddesses even gave Odin a proper look.

Downs could only see a large, capital 【LOSER】 written on Odin's forehead.

Honestly, what did Odin do wrong to deserve this!

The world is just this cruel: primogeniture inheritance, winner takes all.

Just as the world won't remember the second-place winner, only the champion, the second son in a royal family is just this miserable, especially since Downs' combat power far exceeds Odin's.

The atmosphere in the hall was incredibly lively. The goddesses vied to toast Downs, even showcasing their talents, but Odin felt like none of it had anything to do with him. He was like a stranger, only finding this clamor too noisy.

Especially when Odin saw Frigg, who was usually so stingy with her smiles towards him, gracefully dancing before Downs, elegantly displaying her beautiful figure, Odin felt immense pain.

Downs announced to the crowd: "Ladies, beautiful goddesses, I have no intention of offending anyone, but the Aesir are a race founded on martial prowess! Our enemies are about to descend! Our glory cannot be tarnished! I am willing to choose one of you to be my queen, but she must at least bear a child stronger than Thor."

This was a very simple, violent, and in line with the Aesir's style requirement!

The Frost Giants are endless and constantly threaten the rule of the Aesir. Naturally, the strongest is the God-King Downs!

And the strongest offspring will inherit Downs' throne!

Since you don't like the child I conceived with the Frost Giantess Jörd—Thor—then I'll have an even stronger divine child born for everyone to see, otherwise, I won't be able to convince the masses!

The God-King's announcement not only didn't scare away the goddesses, but instead aroused their competitive spirit.

God-King? Of course, everyone wants to snatch that!

Everyone is a goddess, so why should the position of queen be given to anyone else?

But this condition is a bit too…

Frigg was surprised that her exquisite beauty had failed for the first time in her life. Just as she was stunned, Gilda, the Goddess of Dawn and Aurora, took the lead and rushed over to offer Downs all her enthusiasm.

Among these goddesses, only Sif, the calmest Goddess of Earth and Harvest, chose to withdraw. She secretly took a fancy to Thor, who would be coming of age at 18.

And Frigg hesitated.

Just then, Odin couldn't help but approach: "Beautiful Goddess Frigg, my palace is not far from here. If you feel tired, you can come to my palace to rest."

"Palace? The one with the copper exterior?" Frigg didn't hide the contempt in her eyes.

Odin's aura faltered: "Uh, yes."

Frigg's face turned cold: "Sorry! I don't think I'm any worse than the other goddesses. Even if I fail, I'd rather cry in the golden palace."

As a thorough hedonist, a shabby copper-walled palace was absolutely unacceptable to her. Even if the bright brass looked like gold, copper is still copper!

Can the God-King's brother be the same as the God-King?

I'd rather cry in the golden palace than smile in the copper palace.

She clearly stated to Odin—I, Frigg, am here to become the queen. As for who the God-King is, that doesn't matter!

Odin's face turned pale.

Retreating from Frigg's side, he downed cup after cup of wine until drunkenness surged into his heart. He hoarsely put his arm around Loki's shoulder: "Loki, do you think I'm very useless? Can't compare to my big brother in anything?"

Loki's incredibly quick mind seemed to have lost its function at this moment: "Even putting aside the fact that Downs is the eldest son, he is also the strongest."

"Is there nothing I can do to prove myself?"

Loki hesitated for a moment: "Apply to His Majesty to become the King of Jotunheim and guard that place?"

This was a choice.

Jotunheim has many giants loyal to the Aesir, and a large number of Frost Giants constantly emerge, seeking revenge. Sitting in Jotunheim, Odin's reputation among the gods would definitely improve.

Odin shook his head: "Not enough!"

"Then, I think you should wait. I feel that His Majesty has been preparing for a large-scale war."

"War… is it?" Odin finally perked up. His eyes sharpened, and he clenched his fist: "That's right! War! I will prove in war that I have the qualifications to stand alone! I will make my parents and all the goddesses look at me with new eyes!"

In the night breeze, Odin left the Palace of Joy with his head held high, honing his 【Gungnir】 alone!

The following year, a group of goddesses who seemed to be from saline-alkali land managed to produce two new gods.

This time, they were the Aesir that the gods craved, with a purer bloodline.

One of them was the famous Heimdall.

Downs felt quite speechless looking at this kid. He had been fooled miserably by the Marvel movies before his transmigration. What was with that black guy with dreadlocks?

The real Heimdall was well-built, with skin as white as snow, and a particularly exaggerated gold tooth, hailed by the goddesses as the 【White Aesir】!

His divine eyes could easily see things three hundred miles away, and his ears could hear in all directions.

When he came of age, Downs would throw him onto the Rainbow Bridge to replace the poor bow god Ullr.

The other was Baldr, the God of Light. He was handsome, innocent, and always had a pleasing smile on his face. The goddesses doted on him even more.

These two Aesir gods were all good, the only problem was, it seemed they couldn't beat Downs' first three children.

Heimdall, born of Gilda, was a little better, and it felt like he could catch up with the first echelon when he grew up.

Baldr's combat power was not on the same level as Thor, Tyr, and Vidar. This result made Frigg's vision go dark, and she felt that she had to work harder.

As for Búri and Bestla, the biggest good news was that Odin had finally come to his senses.

Odin secretly went down to the realm and seduced a mortal woman, Linde, and had a son, Váli. Although Odin couldn't get a goddess, which made the couple a little disappointed, at least their second son had branched out.

Ten years later!

As always, the cow Auðumbla had new movements again.

This time the movement was very big.

With just one lick, the first collapse was a gap the size of a carriage compartment, and then the ice blocks produced a chain collapse like a domino effect.

"Rumble!" In a few breaths, a huge ice-sealed rift valley appeared.

In the valley, countless huge figures opened their eyes, revealing divine light.

When tens of thousands of tons of ice fell from these great figures, beams of colorful divine light soared into the sky.

This movement didn't even need Ullr, who was keeping watch, to report. Downs, who was still on the golden palace throne, clearly felt it with just the strong fluctuations of the world's will.

"Heh! Finally here? Vanir, you've kept me waiting!"
