Stupid Odin

Awkward! So awkward!

Countless eyes met, each looking at the other in dismay.

Whether gods, giants, or monsters, none had anticipated this situation.

The insidious Siren, in order to equally doom every sea traveler, deliberately lured Thor and his companions into the Kraken's territory.

The Kraken was simply hunting instinctively, but unexpectedly startled a giant kidnapper.

The giant kidnapper tried to escape, leading Thor to mistakenly believe he was going to kill the hostage, forcing him to unleash a powerful move to catch up.

This flying technique, accompanied by lightning and sparks, also alarmed the Kraken, triggering a counterattack from this oversized octopus.

As a result, the thunder was too loud, causing a chain reaction that awakened Jormungandr, who was sleeping on the seabed nearby.

The World Serpent, with immense morning grumpiness, indiscriminately attacked the Kraken first.

What followed was even more absurd.

Thor exclaimed with infinite surprise, "Loki! So everything was according to your plan?!"

Plan? What plan?

I didn't even know my son had grown so big; what could I have possibly planned?

Loki was equally bewildered, but that didn't stop him from pretending.

He really wanted to take all the credit, but he didn't dare, so he could only say rather forcedly, "No! This is all thanks to the divine calculations of King Thanes. Jormungandr, what are you waiting for? Now is the time to show your loyalty to the Aesir!"

Again, Thor's thought process never aligned with Loki's.

The simple-minded Thor didn't realize that Loki was just talking nonsense: "You guessed it?!"

Guessed it?

What did I guess?

Loki continued to be confused; from beginning to end, he had only thought about harming the pure-blooded Aesir.

What could he have guessed?

Loki just continued to play along: "Yes, I guessed it."

But Thor's reaction made Loki suddenly have a terrible thought: Wait! Could this chase have been King Thanes's scheme from the very beginning?

Loki was confused, but wasn't Jormungandr equally bewildered?

After being thrown into the sea, this was the first time it had reunited with its father.

Before it could even be happy, it heard its father say something about 'proving loyalty to the Aesir.'

Jormungandr had been out of touch with the world for a long time.

But it definitely remembered that it was once caught harshly just for looking at King Thanes.

That terrifying scene where its life was not its own made it very uncomfortable every time it woke up in the middle of the night.

Now it seemed that its father was still mixed up with the Aesir; um, was that Aesir over there his companion?

Then, I'll help!

Jormungandr was indeed a world-destroying expert, but it had one advantage: it was quite filial.

Jormungandr listened to what its father Loki said.

Without further hesitation, it exerted its strength and lifted the island-sized Kraken high out of the water.

This was a victory of size! Jormungandr's length of over 10 kilometers was just that violent.

In Jormungandr's opinion, it was definitely a qualified operation to cooperate with that god who played with lightning to kill the Kraken.

Who would have thought that the one who attacked wasn't Thor?!

The sudden eruption of anomalies in the sky attracted the attention of all beings present.

The sky, which had been covered with dark clouds a moment ago, suddenly brightened up.

It was a fire cloud in the literal sense.

Scorching flames of thousands of degrees Celsius rolled endlessly in the clouds.

This was definitely not a natural phenomenon.

Loki, who was just bragging, was completely stunned—

Even Jormungandr, who was wondering why his father wanted to be loyal to the Aesir, couldn't help but instinctively close his snake mouth.

From the scorching fire cloud, a scarlet red line swept through the cloud and descended from the sky, instantly dividing Jormungandr's view of the sky into two.

The fire cloud behind the red line's head continued to rotate rapidly, gathering fire elements and injecting them into the top of the red line.

And the head of the red line was visibly growing larger.

This wasn't because of perspective; the head of the line was really getting bigger.

Loki didn't know who was mobilizing this power now, but he recognized the object at the head of the red line—the Sword of Muspelheim!

The legendary divine sword that King Thanes forged after killing the fire giant ancestor Surtr and sealing his indomitable soul.

Now, Loki saw the divine sword unleash its power again after a long absence.

Below, the Kraken was firmly locked in its heart by an extremely uneasy feeling.

That feeling was so unfamiliar, but it instinctively knew that if it took this big move, it would definitely be completely annihilated.

"Aww—"

It let out a shrill scream, and its huge, island-sized soft body suddenly shrank.

The octopus's unique soft body technique caught Jormungandr off guard.

When Jormungandr tried to tighten its tail urgently, it was already a step too late.

At this moment, the voice that often became its nightmare suddenly sounded in its ears.

"It doesn't matter."

Since King Thanes had said so, Jormungandr quickly released its snake tail.

The Kraken, as if granted amnesty, still wanted to run, but it was still a step too late.

A huge amount of seawater betrayed it!

The power of the [Ocean] suddenly erupted, pushing away Jormungandr's snake tail and pushing the Kraken, which was trying to dive into the seabed, back to the surface.

Too miserable!

If it were any other opponent, the Kraken could easily escape even if it couldn't win.

Below, there was the World Serpent, a neighbor who sold it out, blocking the way, and above, there was the King chasing and killing it.

With such a grand treatment, the Kraken really didn't know what heavenly rules it had violated to suffer so much.

This super giant octopus, the size of a small island, was arched out of the sea by a slab of seawater as hard and huge as an anvil.

Then, in front of all the spectators, a ball of crimson fire fell.

With a loud bang, continuous explosions and flashes of light spread from the octopus's head along each tentacle.

Those abnormally colored suckers, mixed with a large number of barnacles, fish bones, etc., had now become large firecrackers, first swelling up completely, and then exploding with a bang, with blood and flesh flying everywhere.

From the head to the tentacles, every part of the Kraken's body was blown apart and flew into the sky, turning into a sky full of blood and minced meat, and finally falling one after another.

The fragments of the octopus's limbs were mixed with a large amount of stinky ink, and this special 'octopus rain' disgusted all beings present.

For most of the audience, after staying far away, they at most lamented how amazing King Thanes's power was.

The only one who was truly frightened to the core was Jormungandr.

It looked up reverently, staring at the projection of those deep black eyes in the sky.

It was so nervous that it didn't even dare to stick out its tongue habitually.

"Your Majesty, did, did I do it right?" Jormungandr asked cautiously.

"You did very well." Thanes couldn't help but twitch his cheek muscles at Jormungandr's intrusion.

This was not within his budget.

Jormungandr asked again: "If I offer my loyalty to Your Majesty, will I be allowed to live?"

As a World Serpent, Jormungandr's attitude could be described as extremely humble.

At the same time, Loki, who was staying in the flying goat cart, also knelt down deeply, begging for mercy for his son.

The pair of divine eyes in the sky seemed to sigh: "You are different from your crazy brother Fenrir; at least, you still have reason.

If you no longer grow and are not further contaminated by the power of chaos, then stay in Midgard."
