Chapter 1248 Heavy Burden
Hearing this, Lin Qiye understood what Zuo Qing meant.
Internal strife in Asgard was indeed a situation that Da Xia would like to see, but if Loki ascended to the Supreme God realm so quickly, Thor would lose his qualification to become the God King, and the internal conflict would immediately cease.
At that time, Asgard would once again become a complete divine realm, and it would be led by Da Xia’s mortal enemy, Loki.
This was the worst-case scenario.
“So, no matter what, we cannot let Loki successfully reach the Supreme realm,” Zuo Qing’s voice was extremely serious from the other end of the pixel communicator.
Lin Qiye nodded, “What should we do? Kill him in advance?”
“The location where Loki will attempt to reach the Supreme realm is in Asgard, and he won’t leave there before becoming Supreme.
And Asgard is not like Egypt’s Sun City. Apart from Odin, most of the gods are at full strength, and its geographical location is very special. Even if all the gods of the Heavenly Court went all out, it would be difficult to breach it in a short time.
Moreover, it’s no longer the time when Da Xia’s gods first emerged. Back then, destroying Egypt’s Sun City had a 30% chance of success due to the suddenness of the Heavenly Court’s surprise attack. It was a risky move, but this method cannot be replicated now. If Da Xia’s gods engage in prolonged warfare with a divine realm overseas, other forces will inevitably intervene, or even attack the unguarded Da Xia.
So, trying to defeat Asgard head-on with the power of Da Xia’s gods is impossible… we need a special force.”
“A special force…”
“We need someone to infiltrate Asgard before Loki ascends to the Supreme realm, dismantle its defenses from within, and create an opportunity for Da Xia’s surprise attack.
And in the current Mist, the only ones who have a chance of accomplishing this are the Upper Evil Society… and the [Nightfall] team.”
Lin Qiye was stunned and looked up at Ji Nian.
Ji Nian shook her head helplessly,
“The problem is, until now, I haven’t found an entry point to infiltrate.
Loki is too vigilant. He has completely cut off all external passages into Asgard. The only way is to go through Asgard’s ‘human circle’ and gradually infiltrate, but this approach is too risky, and it’s unclear how long it would take… it’s possible that by the time we sneak in, Loki would have already become Supreme.”
As Ji Nian finished speaking, all three fell silent.
“Lin Qiye, do you have any ideas?” Zuo Qing’s voice came through the communicator.
Lin Qiye smiled bitterly, “If even the Upper Evil Society can’t find a way in, what method could I possibly have? I’ve never been to Asgard, and about that place…”
Lin Qiye stopped mid-sentence, suddenly freezing in place.
“What’s wrong?” Ji Nian asked, puzzled.
Lin Qiye closed his mouth, remained silent for a long time, and slowly pulled out a dark golden goblet from his chest.
Inside the ornate cup, a crimson liquid was gently swirling along the walls.
“Perhaps… I really do have a way,” Lin Qiye murmured, looking at the [Holy Grail].
“What is this?” Ji Nian asked, confused.
“The [Holy Grail],” Lin Qiye calmly explained. “A ‘Supreme’ artifact that can fulfill any wish if you offer a sacrifice. I brought it out from the King’s Treasury… Right now, it contains three ‘Main God’ level beings as sacrifices.”
Ji Nian’s mouth opened wider and wider:
“That’s so overpowered? How did you get your hands on it?!”
“It’s a long story… But with this thing, we might be able to easily infiltrate Asgard…”
Lin Qiye frowned deeply, seemingly pondering something seriously.
“If it can help us get in, what are you still thinking about?”
“I’m wondering if the sacrifices in here are enough for me to directly wish for Loki’s sudden death…” Lin Qiye answered seriously.
Ji Nian: (ﾟДﾟ#)!
“Well, is it possible?” she asked cautiously.
Lin Qiye held the [Holy Grail], carefully sensing for a moment, then shook his head, “No… using a wish to kill a god is too costly, especially when the target is Loki, the God of Mischief. Who knows how many fake death escape methods he has.”
Ji Nian sighed with some disappointment.
“Our target this time is not just Loki,” Zuo Qing said solemnly. “Our target… is the entire Asgard! In the game between divine realms, the [Holy Grail] might indeed have a miraculous effect, but relying on it to directly determine the outcome is probably not that simple.”
Lin Qiye nodded, “The [Holy Grail] is just an aid, the rest depends on human effort.”
“By the way,” Zuo Qing seemed to remember something, “Lin Qiye, Wang Mian asked me to pass a message to you.”
“Wang Mian? What message?”
“He said… he has found information about a deity who can greatly accelerate the flow of time, as you requested.”
Hearing these words, Lin Qiye’s heart trembled. In his mind, Jia Lan’s sleeping face immediately appeared.
Even before returning to Da Xia, Lin Qiye had asked Wang Mian to search for deities who could awaken Jia Lan early. Now, after all this time, they finally had a lead… Did this mean that Jia Lan was not far from waking up?
“Where?” Lin Qiye asked eagerly.
“There is only one deity in the world who controls the law of time flow, and that is Skuld, the Goddess of the Future, one of the three Norse Fates.”
“The three Fates… Skuld,” Lin Qiye murmured the name, then smiled helplessly,
“It seems I have no choice but to go to Asgard.”
“Are you done talking? My communicator is about to give out,” Ji Nian noticed the static in the communicator getting louder and quickly spoke up.
“That’s the general situation,” Zuo Qing took a deep breath and said solemnly,
“Whether Da Xia can create another miracle in this war depends on you.
It takes time to travel from Da Xia to Asgard. Once you’ve established yourselves in Asgard and determined when to act, be sure to contact me via communicator one day in advance. Then you just need to complete your mission according to the plan…
The rest will be handled by Da Xia.”
As Zuo Qing finished speaking, the pixel communicator’s operational time completely ended, and a flood of static came through, echoing in the mist.
Lin Qiye silently put down the communicator and, after a long while, let out a deep sigh.
“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing… just feeling a bit pressured,” Lin Qiye said bitterly. “The future of Da Xia in this war depends on this. If I fail in the end…”
“Don’t be so pessimistic, you’re Lin Qiye! Besides, you still have me, right?” Ji Nian patted her chest and said proudly, “Don’t worry, causing destruction is what this president does best.”
Lin Qiye smiled, his gaze falling on the pixel communicator in his palm, feeling an immense weight at that moment.
