Chapter 1252 Inside the Cage
Along the white stone bricks, Lin Qiye’s eyes swept across the surroundings, carefully observing this magnificent Western divine realm.
To be cautious, Lin Qiye didn’t use his spiritual power to sense his surroundings. Previously at the agent meeting, his spiritual power had been detected by two deities, nearly exposing his identity. Although he wasn’t sure if all deities had the ability to detect spiritual power, in the current situation, it was better to be careful.
Asgard’s streets were much larger than Lin Qiye had imagined, with a width approximately six to seven times that of the Heavenly Court’s roads.
The main reason was that most of the deities here had extremely large bodies.
After walking for a short while, Lin Qiye saw several Western deities who were dozens of meters tall, treading on the ground, slowly passing by everyone.
The stone bricks beneath their feet were made of some unknown material. Even when trampled by these giant deities, there wasn’t the slightest tremor, as if they had become one with the entirety of Asgard.
Lin Qiye curiously examined these deities, lost in thought.
According to Norse mythology, most Asgardian deities had giant blood flowing through their veins… judging by their size, this was very likely true.
“Thor.”
Following the four deities, Lin Qiye passed through two streets when a figure descended from the sky and stood before everyone.
It was a man wearing light yellow clothing with messy hair and furrowed brows.
“Freyr?” Thor asked in surprise, “What are you doing here?”
“Why have you been away from Asgard for so long? Where did you go?” Freyr asked anxiously.
“We went to find something… What happened?”
“Sif has disappeared.”
Hearing these words, Thor and the other three deities’ expressions changed simultaneously.
Sif?
Hearing this name, Lin Qiye found it very familiar.
When studying Norse mythology at the training camp, he had learned about these Asgardian deities, including Sif… if he remembered correctly, this harvest goddess Sif was Thor’s wife.
“Disappeared?” Thor’s face turned extremely grim, “When did this happen?”
“About the day before yesterday…”
Without another word, Thor’s form transformed into a bolt of lightning, shooting straight into the sky, rushing away in a certain direction.
The blind god Höder, the forest god Vidar, and the war god Tyr exchanged glances, all seeing the gravity in each other’s eyes.
“Höder, take this intruder to the Abyss Prison. No matter what method you use, you must find out the whereabouts of [Gjallar]… Vidar, take these two agents to the cage and lock them up, waiting for Thor’s return to decide their fate,” War God Tyr quickly ordered.
After speaking, he stomped his feet forcefully and transformed into a stream of light, closely following Thor.
After the two figures completely disappeared, Höder silently pondered for a moment, then forcefully pulled the memorial that was sealed by darkness, coldly saying:
“Move.”
The badly injured memorial looked back at Lin Qiye, exchanging a glance, and could only reluctantly follow Höder’s steps.
“We go this way,” Vidar pointed to another direction of the street and stepped forward.
Lin Qiye watched the memorial being taken away with a complex expression, light flickering in his eyes, but eventually followed behind Vidar.
…
Bang—!
With two dull sounds, the red prison door in front of Lin Qiye locked completely.
Divine power spread from the prison bars, covering every corner of the cell, solid as a rock.
The Forest God Vidar stood outside the cell, glancing indifferently at Lin Qiye and No. 22 next door, then turned and left.
After a moment, Lin Qiye stood up and began to observe this so-called “cage.”
This “cage” was not in the same place as the Abyss Prison where the memorial was being interrogated. This place was like a giant red beast cage, artificially divided into countless independent cells. Some cells were enormous, containing frost giants as big as small mountains, while others were normal-sized, holding humans like Lin Qiye.
These independent cells formed a red wall, floating in the air at the edge of Asgard. Below their feet was a ten-thousand-foot abyss.
Lin Qiye tried to extend his spiritual power, but at most he could only touch the surrounding divine power walls, unable to penetrate this prison.
“A cage that can even imprison deities…” Lin Qiye murmured.
“So, have you found a way out yet?”
A voice drifted over from the cell next to his.
Lin Qiye turned to look and saw No. 22 sitting in the center of the adjacent cell, leisurely watching him through the red bars.
Lin Qiye’s brows furrowed tightly:
“What’s it to you?”
“Lin Qiye, do you have any conscience?” No. 22 sneered.
“If I hadn’t covered for your identity earlier, would you still just be locked up here now? You’d probably have been taken to the Abyss Prison like that woman, being tortured for information about Great Xia and the secrets of the dual-god agents!
As repayment, shouldn’t you take me with you when you escape from here?”
Without waiting for Lin Qiye to answer, No. 22 continued: “Of course, you can choose to refuse… but then I’ll immediately expose your identity. This way, I’ll still stay here, while you will have to join that woman in death!
You’re a smart person. You know what to choose.”
“Are you so certain that I can escape from here?” Lin Qiye asked gravely.
“You are the famous prophet Myers! You managed to fool the Olympian gods and all of us agents, so of course you have a way to deceive these Norse gods!
Moreover, you still have your identity as a prophet to use. Thor and the others need you.”
No. 22 spread his arms and said with a smile.
Lin Qiye snorted coldly.
Sure enough, No. 22’s intention was exactly as he had thought—to use him to escape from the Norse gods… For this purpose, he even went along with Lin Qiye’s lie, exaggerating his prophet identity to a level that would tempt the deities.
But Lin Qiye knew very well that he didn’t know any prophecy techniques at all.
“Myers, of all the agents who entered the King’s Treasury, only the two of us survived in the end. This proves that we are chosen by heaven! We are the children of fortune!” No. 22’s eyes gleamed with brilliance.
“So many gods inside and outside the treasury couldn’t kill us. Now if we join forces, we can definitely escape from here!
At least here… we are on the same side.”
Lin Qiye’s eyes narrowed slightly.
After a long while, he nodded, “Fine.”
If Lin Qiye wanted to leave Asgard, he inevitably had to deal with No. 22, who knew his true identity and was imprisoned next to him. Whatever action he took, he couldn’t hide it from No. 22.
That being the case, he might as well go along with the plan and temporarily join forces with No. 22. As for how things would develop later… he would have to improvise.
