Stupid Odin

The Aesir gods and the giants were all confused. How did a large group of foals suddenly appear?

Everyone knew the origin of [Svaðilfari]. If they wanted to breed, they would at least need to find a mare, right?

Where did these divine mares come from?

Thanos kept it a secret, so everyone could only continue guessing.

This matter also became a strange tale.

In any case, the Aesir tribe had more than a dozen tall divine steeds. In future battles, powerful men like Thor would definitely be even more powerful.

Throughout the entire tribe, only Thanos was clear-headed.

Of course, he knew that Loki had come to steal the horse under the guidance of fate, but ended up being… well, you know.

Just talking about it is destructive to one's values!

Yet, this is a chapter heavily emphasized in the epic [Edda].

You should know that [Sleipnir] was originally supposed to be the famous eight-legged celestial horse!

Thanos forcibly modified it into a normal four-legged celestial horse using the laws of order.

Even if this matter were told, onlookers would only be dumbfounded.

Thanos considered it more deeply—Loki, as a pure-blooded frost giant, shouldn't have any transformation skills or magic. Yet, as an anomaly, he is not only proficient in illusions and transformation magic, but he is also particularly fertile. He not only gives birth himself, but also with his wife, and almost all of their offspring are alien creatures!

An eight-legged divine horse… just imagining that scene feels out of place, okay?

He didn't know how Odin in history accepted such an alien horse, or whether Odin couldn't find a second suitable mount besides such a celestial horse.

Odin could pretend that the anomaly didn't happen, but Thanos couldn't.

Such an alien joke, in Thanos's eyes, was a symbol of the Jötunheimr world being re-contaminated by chaos, or the decline of its ability to filter chaos.

That's right!

Only the power of chaos can break all orderly shaping, presenting distorted and deformed characteristics!

The former World Tree could absorb the power of chaos almost infinitely and transform it into the power of order. That's why there are the orderly Nine Worlds.

Thanos, who introduced a large number of Earth's physical formulas to complete the reshaping and definition of the Nine Realms, was therefore deeply trusted by the World's Will.

The World's Will trusts Thanos, but Thanos doesn't necessarily trust the World's Will.

After transmigrating to the Jötunheimr world for so long, Thanos has figured out the nature of the World's Will.

Rather than saying that the world 'needs a certain god' and thus allows the gods to give birth to the corresponding deity in some way, it is better to say that the World's Will goes crazy from time to time, releasing a particularly powerful extraordinary force, causing the gods who are giving birth during that time to give birth to the corresponding new gods… or monsters.

Look at Loki's children in the epic—the eight-legged horse Sleipnir, the world-devouring wolf Fenrir, the serpent Jörmungandr, and the death goddess Hel.

None of these four are normal. Even Hel, who has a human form, has one half of her body as a gentle and beautiful female image, while the other half is as rotten and hideous as a demon.

Except for Sleipnir, the remaining three children were rejected by the Aesir gods and eventually raised the banner of rebellion, participating in the siege of Asgard during the [Ragnarök] event.

Therefore, this time, using the Stone Tablet of Order to modify the life form of the divine steed was actually a super-large-scale divine experiment for Thanos.

Thanos glanced at the several divine steeds frolicking with their brothers and sisters outside the Golden Palace, nodding in satisfaction.

He muttered to himself: It seems that the Jötunheimr world still has considerable corrective ability. If I strengthen the construction of the laws, maybe there is still a chance to avoid triggering the dead end of [Ragnarök]. But, if the Jötunheimr world actually has some kind of fundamental deficiency, then I have to prepare for both possibilities…

In any case, Thanos had to thank Loki.

In the process of Loki insisting on stealing the divine horse [Svaðilfari], Thanos tested many laws of the Jötunheimr world.

For example, Darwin's theory of evolution does not hold in this world.

For example, the world's laws cannot actually distinguish between the true form and the transformed body of a shapeshifter.

Strictly speaking, not only Loki, who is good at transformation, but even the Aesir gods, whose bodies can change in size at will, can be shapeshifters in the eyes of the World's Will, with different forms belonging to different creatures.

Or perhaps the world distinguishes life forms by soul, not by form.

This can barely explain why the offspring of the Aesir gods and giants are often Aesir gods and not seemingly purer giants. And why Vali, born to Odin and the mortal woman Rindr in this life, has divine power not much different from Thanos's sons.

Thinking of this, Thanos stroked his chin: "The next question—is the total amount of chaotic power flowing out of the World Tree at a certain point in time constant? If I successfully transform this part of the chaotic energy into the power of order, will there still be additional chaotic power invading the world?"

Thanos didn't know that, just as he was thinking, in the middle layer of the Jötunheimr world,

Odin encountered a new frost giant.

It was different from the previous giants, who needed to rely on the licking of a cow to crawl out.

It was like a zombie rising from the grave, breaking through the thick glacier and crawling out on its own.

It casually grabbed a huge fir tree, stripped off the excess branches with one hand, and ran wildly towards Odin's golden palace on two large, unbalanced legs.

When it arrived, the fire of anger burned fiercely in Odin's eyes, because this guy threw a boulder in one go, smashing Odin's small Hall of Joy, which he had built for himself, to pieces.

"You're courting death—"

The unlucky Odin threw [Gungnir] at the first moment. In theory, his divine spear should have pierced the giant's chest without any suspense. But unexpectedly, the heart of this strange giant was actually made of metal.

After breaking through the surface muscle layer, [Gungnir] collided heavily with the metal heart, sparks flying everywhere.

The chaotic ripples generated by the intersection of silver and black laws spread out from the point where the spearhead and the heart met as the center.

Wherever it passed was like an explosion.

The pulling of the two forces of chaos and order caused the flesh on the giant's chest to disappear, and even the ribs and internal organs were cut to pieces.

The giant still died, but not from the heart being pierced, but from the failure caused by multiple organ damage.

Looking at the giant's corpse and feeling the slight wail fed back from the damaged blade of the divine spear, Odin felt extremely unlucky.

Whether it was a hallucination or not, Odin vaguely felt that after leaving the protection of his elder brother's wings, everything seemed to be going wrong.

This crown of the King of Jötunheimr was not as good as he had imagined.

Thinking of this, Odin felt unhappy again.

He turned and rushed into his palace.

Humph! If no gods are willing to come under his command, he will give birth himself!

If three are not enough, he will give birth to a dozen, and if a dozen are not enough, he will give birth to ten dozen.

Odin hoped that in this way, he could give birth to an army of gods belonging to himself.
