Chapter 1339 Wrong God King?
Hearing Lin Qiye’s words, Master Chen frowned, seemingly not understanding.
Anqingyu pushed open the carriage door and walked straight to the corpse of the Norse god that had been smashed into pulp by Sun Wukong’s staff. He picked up a piece of shattered flesh with his fingertips and examined it carefully:
“There’s no mistake, it’s the same as those filthy things we encountered in hell.”
“Odin?” Lin Qiye pondered thoughtfully, “Could he have returned? But… there’s clearly no ash snow falling here, so why are these Norse gods contaminated? And why are we unaffected?”
“Unlike those things in hell, the contamination in these Norse gods seems to have started from inside their bodies,” Anqingyu’s eyes took on a gray tinge as he pushed up his glasses and said, “In hell, those monsters were contaminated from the outside in, when their skin touched the ash snow… In some ways, this type of contamination is more terrifying.
If contamination happens through skin contact with ash, one could quickly cut off the limb to prevent it from spreading, but this kind of contamination from within is impossible to guard against.”
“From within…”
Lin Qiye murmured, “So this contamination has existed inside the Norse gods for some time?”
“It must be so, otherwise there’s no explanation for why we’re unaffected,” Anqingyu nodded seriously.
Hearing this conversation between Lin Qiye and Anqingyu, Verdandi, who was standing nearby, suddenly thought of something and her expression changed dramatically!
Her form transformed into a blur as she quickly flew toward the sacred river not far from the battlefield. Her right hand moved with tremendous force as she hurled the spear in her palm like lightning toward the source of the sacred river at the foot of the divine mountain!
Boom—!!
The spear tore through the sky, causing countless streams of water to explode outward, instantly blasting a massive hole in the upstream section of the sacred river!
Among the scattered riverbed fragments, flakes of ash floated like snowflakes, mixed within the sacred river, surging downstream!
The once-clear sacred river visibly became turbid. The river reflected the towering divine mountain nearby and the crimson giant eye shrouded in clouds above… From a distance, it looked as if a faint red moon was hidden in the deepest part of the river.
“The sacred river?!” Lin Qiye exclaimed in shock as he witnessed this scene, suddenly realizing something, “Odin secretly contaminated the sacred river?!”
During his earlier casual conversation with the Norns in the forest, he had learned that Asgard had only one large river with abundant water, which supplied nearly all the Norse gods’ daily needs… the sacred river.
Whether major gods, minor gods, or the divine servants and handmaidens living in Asgard, including the plants grown and water consumed, all came from this sacred river. Once the sacred river was secretly contaminated, no one in the entire Norse realm could escape.
The Norns, who had been living in seclusion deep in the mountains, relied on a natural spring for sustenance, which is why they avoided the fate of contamination.
“The contamination level in the river is very light, even those of us who have encountered ash before couldn’t detect it, and short-term consumption probably wouldn’t cause problems,” Anqingyu’s expression was extremely grave. “For it to manifest like this in these gods… this contamination must have been accumulating in their bodies for at least a hundred years.”
“A hundred years…” Lin Qiye said solemnly, “So after Odin released the world-ending mist in Antarctica back then, he began secretly contaminating the Norse gods?
He wanted to turn all of Norse mythology… into pawns for himself and Cthulhu?”
Back in Heaven and Hell, it was Odin who had triggered the ash snow, attempting to use the power of the Cthulhu pantheon to control the dead angels and demons as his fighting force… From the current situation, it seemed he wanted to replicate everything from Heaven and Hell in Asgard.
The difference was that Heaven and Hell only had corpses, which had no thoughts of their own and couldn’t resist, but Asgard was home to over a hundred living gods.
Contaminating Asgard with ash snow was simply unrealistic, so he used his position as the All-Father to secretly contaminate the sacred river, gradually accumulating the Cthulhu contamination in the Norse gods’ bodies. Whenever he wished, he could use the contamination to corrupt these Norse gods’ minds, thereby completely controlling the entire Norse pantheon!
“This is his own divine realm… could he really bring himself to do this?” Cao Yuan frowned as he looked at the numerous deformed Norse gods writhing in agony.
Seeing this scene, Verdandi’s chest heaved violently with rage!
“ODIN!!!” Verdandi turned toward the peak of the divine mountain, roaring this name in fury, her voice rolling like thunder beneath the clouds.
She never imagined that Ragnarök, which she had tried every possible way to prevent, actually originated from their own All-Father Odin!
A hundred years ago, Odin had denied their prophecy, nearly causing the entire Norse realm to perish. Later they discovered that the one who triggered the world-ending mist was Odin himself. Now, Ragnarök, which she had been desperately trying to prevent, was also created by Odin… He was the greatest plague upon the Norse realm!
Looking at these Norse gods covered in tumorous flesh-eyes, howling in agony, Verdandi felt her chest might explode with rage.
She pulled out the spear embedded in the riverbed, her white robe trailing afterimages as she streaked across the sky, carrying murderous intent directly toward the towering hall of the All-Father!
“Odin! You bastard!!!”
…
The Hall of the All-Father.
Thor stood before the hall, staring blankly at the chaotic battlefield below, frozen like a statue.
“How could this happen…” he murmured, “They, they…”
Thor couldn’t find words to describe those scenes. He felt an itch at his waist, and when he scratched it, he saw a writhing flesh-eye that had emerged without his notice.
His pupils contracted sharply!
He looked back and saw that Sif’s body was also continuously sprouting disgusting tumors. When her fingertips touched the fist-sized writhing flesh-eye on her cheek, she jerked as if electrocuted, then began screaming in terror, her face deathly pale!
“Father?! No… ODIN!!!” Thor roared, turning abruptly to face the figure standing in the center of the hall, “What have you done?! What have you done to the Norse realm?!”
Odin stood calmly, his deep eyes observing Thor, sighing with some resignation:
“Thor, you are truly exceptional. As a father, I am pleased to have such an outstanding son… Unfortunately, your temperament is too fierce.
Loki, though treacherous, is more patient than you, his methods more ruthless, and he knows how to assess situations and make the right choices when necessary.
If he were standing here today, becoming the puppet who manages the Norse realm for me…
How could Asgard have come to this?”
