Shadow of the Beautiful World

Hela was sealed in her 8-year-old life by the time gem.

But this doesn't mean that her insight and wisdom as the goddess of death have really left her. The child just reacts a little slower now.

But definitely not stupid.

Give her time and she will come to her own conclusions.

Merlin wasn't trying to divide the leaders of the dark alliance. These guys' hatred for Asgard was real, and they wouldn't change course just because of Merlin's few words.

The king of vanity wants to use this blind hatred to achieve some insidious purposes of his own.

The job seemed difficult at first.

After all, those who fought against Asgard with Skadi were all famous villains among the stars, and they were all real cunning people.

But after Merlin really got involved, the King of Vainglory discovered that the job was actually not difficult.

Every villain participating in this war has his own purpose, and the purpose of each other is not the same.

Just like what Merlin told Hela, the death of Odin and the failure of Asgard were just the beginning. After the death of the God King, the dark coalition army would also fall apart.

Each villain has his own demands, and fortunately, or unfortunately, Skadi, as the leader of the coalition forces, did not realize this.

Or rather, the Winter Goddess realized it, but she didn't care.

Merlin could easily guess what Skadi was thinking.

She has no interest in reconciling the conflicts within the Dark Alliance, which can be seen from her handling of the grievances between Hela and Surtur.

She just needs the group to kill Odin with her.

As for what these guys will do after Odin's death, Skadi doesn't care at all.

As long as the shackles left by Elsa are untied, what will happen to this world and the stars will have nothing to do with Skadi.

With her complete control of that body, she can summon the deadly hoarfrost from the depths of the stars, and she can easily freeze Asgard, sealing her enemies and her companions inside.

strength.

Originating from the powerful power at the beginning of the universe, the frozen power waiting to be awakened by Skadi is the capital of the Winter Goddess.

But those things that she didn't care about were very, very important in the eyes of Lord Merlin who was hiding in the shadows.

Superficial unity, this is not the advantage of the dark alliance.

And evil spirits who don't understand people's hearts and only see their own goals are hard to predict. Once the trust of a group is betrayed, what terrible things will happen.

Merlin experienced

Merlin knew.

Before the start of the God's Domain War, Vainglory Monarch was also very busy weaving.

a net.

A net used to hunt Skadi.

Malicious threads extend from the nodes around her, using needs as bones, desires as shuttles, and through the careful design of dark wisdom, every evil soul is carefully connected in series.

Those powers urged by the Winter Goddess will finally unite to bury her.

Evil spirits will die in delusions.

The Maharaja will take back his wife.

Goals that all will get.

All will be content.

except skati

If she can sacrifice everything for her own desires, don't complain that others sacrifice her for their own ends.

After all, it's a fair world.

Asgard, the Golden Palace.

God King Odin was forced to enter God's Sleep because of the soaring power in his body a few days ago.

He seemed to be asleep, lying on a specially made golden bed.

Hundreds of stones engraved with runes made up the stone platform bed, and they formed a complex magic power system to appease and help the God King regulate the swelling, liquid-like divine power in his body.

Golden electric arcs are constantly moving on the surface of these rocks, and every jump of current will make the runes on the rock surface show a golden light.

Odin lay on it.

Wearing a white robe, around his body, there is also a shield composed of divine power.

Like an eggshell, the God King is shrouded in it.

In the sleep of God, which is similar to a deep sleep, Odin can hear and perceive everything happening outside, but it is difficult to respond to it, but this does not mean that he is vulnerable at this time.

The highly concentrated power of the godhead shrouds the body, which can resist and counter any malicious contact, this is to protect the body of the god king.

But since it is God's Sleep, it means that Odin is really asleep.

Although the God King seldom dreams, in the state of sleep, his consciousness can communicate with other wills through dreams more easily without disturbing anyone.

This is also a strategy.

Show the enemy weak.

To be honest, if Odin is still sitting on his throne and commanding his own legion, no matter how powerful the dark coalition forces are, they will not take the risk of breaking through the blockade of the Rainbow Bridge, trying to break into the world of the gods and Asgard. people against.

The existence of the God King and the absence of the God King are completely two concepts.

In Odin's golden dream, on the grassland full of golden sunshine in Asa God's Domain.

Lord Raven, with his hands behind his back, hovered over the gap between the land of God's Domain and the sea of ​​the world.

His blue eyes stared at the endless sea surrounding Asgard, a spectacle rarely seen in other worlds.

Well, the world of Asgard is not round, it is flat, and there is only one continent in the whole world, which is about 3 times the size of Australia, and it is located in the center of the ocean.

God's Domain looks majestic and majestic, but it is actually not a huge world, and the number of Asgardians living in it will definitely not be as many as the people on Earth.

Powerful power brings difficulty in reproduction. So far, the number of Shenyu people plus soldiers is only a few million.

From Merlin's point of view, the ocean surrounding the continent flows outward along the flat world, and the sea water will directly fall into the sea of ​​stars.

But it's not going away.

Those clear, turbulent sea water will follow the fixed route of the World Tree territory and flow into other worlds.

Theoretically speaking, as long as the Asgardians are willing, they can take a boat, jump down from the waterfall on the edge of the world, follow the void river composed of sea water, and enter any world of the Nine Kingdoms.

The Rainbow Bridge is just one way for Asgardians to travel.

But it's not the only way.

My generals told me that the evil spirit is using the power of the Winter Box to try to create a passage into Asgard at the edge of the world in Alfheim.

Behind Merlin, God King Odin sat on a stone and enjoyed the sunshine very comfortably. He was like an ordinary old man, sitting there with a big horse and a golden knife in the posture of a big man.

Even in his sleep, golden arcs still flowed through his body.

They are restless, especially the frost giants. I heard that Skadi does not allow them to plunder in Yalfheim, so the frost giants are very dissatisfied.

right.

Lord Raven nodded and said:

The Frost Evil Spirit is worried that looting and dividing the troops will make those barbarians fall into your trap and weaken the strength of the dark alliance. Now she is almost using the majesty of the gods to demand that the giants obey her.

But it can't last long. Faith is one thing, hunger is another.

Merlin listened to the sound of the sea, and he said to the God King:

No matter how firm the belief is, it can't fill the stomach, especially when the frost giants are very edible.

To be honest, if we hadn't already made up our strategy, in fact, if you let your generals keep the frost giants out of the world, maybe within a month, those frost giants themselves would riot.

But not just frost giants.

The god king sitting on the stone sighed, and he said with some concern:

And the dark elves, the army of nightmares, the king of flames, and my naughty daughter Hela, you said you just stuffed the minions of the big snake into the camp of the dark coalition army.

Look, these guys, none of them can make people worry. Each one is troublesome, and they are still united now.

It's a good thing.

The Lord of Vainglory said to Odin:

That means you just need one victory to crush them all, not one war after another.

Facing what Merlin said, a faint smile appeared on the old face of the God King, but it was fleeting.

He patted his knee and said:

It's dangerous to fight. The risk is very high. If we lose, the God's Realm Kingdom established by the ancestors of Asgard will be destroyed in my hands.

Merlin didn't answer.

Odin doesn't need his encouragement or comfort or anything like that.

Since the old god king dared to take such a risk, it meant that he was prepared and had some confidence.

I talked to your daughter.

Merlin says:

She's still hesitating, but she shouldn't be hesitating for too long.

Hella.

Odin touched his white beard, he looked at the tumbling sea in the distance, and said:

As for my daughter, she is a very cunning character, a typical big villain, always unwilling to suffer losses, always thinking of fishing in troubled waters, and always thinking of making a profit.

She's ambitious, but she's also smart, and she knows what to do with a bad choice and an even worse choice, and I have a lot of faith in her in that regard.

Merlin looked at the old God King, he said:

You're sure you don't need to arrange a trap for Hela.

I mean, once she draws enough power from Asgard to break the seal, she'll definitely do anything to kill you.

She is a threat. It is a stupid choice to let the tiger go back to the mountain. Why don't you take advantage of this opportunity?

The King of Vanity raised his hand and made a diagonal motion.

He said:

In a sufficiently chaotic scene, as long as you are prepared, it is not difficult to kill a weak heavenly father.

But Odin glared at him.

There was a look of dissatisfaction in the one eye of the king of gods, and he said:

That's my daughter, it's my family business.

It doesn't seem to be a tradition in your family to treat your loved ones kindly?

Merlin replied:

Look at the big snake and you will know. He was treated badly by you and his own brother. Since they have turned against each other, why do you still have such a woman's kindness? If you keep Hella, it will definitely become a big trouble in the future. .”

Maybe she's the next big snake.

I have my plan.

The God King waved his hand, indicating that there is no need to talk about this question.

He looked at Merlin, and he said:

You are persuading a father to kill his daughter, Merlin. This is a very dangerous thing. You may offend both parties at the same time, so let's skip this issue and talk about other people.

Well, whatever you want, I'm just a suggestion.

Lord Raven curled his lips, and with his hands behind his back, he let the sea breeze of the dreamland blow his long hair.

He said to the god-king:

Sultur's skull has been sent to the Golden Palace. The Flame King has his own plan. It seems that he is going to be the vanguard of the dark alliance and use some method to establish a center in Asgard.

It has made an agreement with Skadi that as long as it sees God's Domain burning, the dark coalition forces will be able to overwhelm it. That is the signal for war.

It's coveting the eternal fire.

God King said:

Thousands of years ago, when Hela and I defeated it, I guessed its plan.

The cunning Fire Lord used failure as a means to send its core strength into the Golden Palace.

It now only needs to let its skull come into contact with the eternal flame to restore its full glory. That flame giant has gone crazy, and all it thinks about is to realize the twilight of the gods by itself and destroy Asgard.

We'll make it happen!

Merlin pursed a smile, and said:

Leave this to me. I'll talk to Surtur, and as an 'outsider', promise him a bright future, and then bring the dark coalition into the battlefield at the right time.

I also have some 'personal grievances' with Nightmare. I will also find time to talk to it. I know what that guy wants to do.

The king of vanity waved his fingers and said:

After knowing the motivation and purpose of a person's participation in the war, it is easy to persuade him to leave the battlefield. But there is the last link, the mysterious dark elf Malekith

Leave him to me.

The God King stretched out his finger, pointed to his head, and said:

I don't know where he is, but I don't need to know, I don't even need to think, to know what that dark elf is going to do.

My father fought with him, and I know everything about the dark elves. The secrets that Malekith wants to know are in my head, and I am now in a weak god's sleep.

Odin blinked his one eye, and said:

He will not give up this opportunity, he will definitely come to me on his own initiative.

Then the god king with soaring divine power will give the cunning dark elf a big 'surprise', right?

Merlin says:

They were full of confidence, but they didn't expect that the God King would use the survival of the entire Asgard to lure them into the trap of failure.

While the dark alliance is fighting the Asgardians, a hell army coming from behind will plunge them into absolute chaos.

The rest of the Serpent's Skyhammer will be completely killed, Surtur will die in his longing for Ragnarok, and Skadi and her frost giants will perish on the golden land.

The people of Shenyu will wipe out all the thorns who oppose their rule, and the tone of the next era will still be peace. But I'm curious, Odin, who will you give the throne to?

Lord Raven asked with great interest:

Is it Loki, or Thor?

The God King smiled without saying a word.

Obviously, he doesn't want to discuss this issue too much.

Actually, I want to say

Merlin blinked, and said in a strange tone:

I think Thor and Loki's children are the most suitable to take over the throne, what do you think?

Cough, cough cough

The calm God King coughed a few times because of Merlin's genius idea. The God King who lost his composure looked at Merlin strangely, and said:

This is too much

As for the future of Asgard, I have my plan, so don't come up with any more crazy ideas.
