Stupid Odin

According to the sagas, Thor and Loki's quest to rescue the goddess Idun involved many trials.

Thor escaped the clutches of the Kraken and later traveled to Jotunheim, where he faced challenges from the then-king, Utgarda-Loki, and competed against a group of giants with special abilities.

Thor was brutally beaten, suffering a miserable defeat.

In this life, where was there any Jotunheim?

Since the world was reshaped, Downs had been very focused on cleansing the giants who opposed the Aesir.

A cleansing every three days, a major slaughter every seven.

Giants who did not submit to the Aesir's rule only met death.

As the saying goes, any race has the right to declare war on me, and you giants can choose to start a war, but you won't be able to control how that war ends.

The giants who opposed him could barely muster a dozen, so where could Jotunheim be?

Recently, Odin reported that he had killed a somewhat troublesome giant, who seemed to be named Utgarda.

Downs was delighted to hear this and generously rewarded Odin.

From gold to servants in the mortal realm, he gave him everything.

Odin was touched by this rare gesture.

In Odin's eyes, it meant that Big Brother still cared about his performance.

Of course, given Odin's nature of wanting all the benefits and avoiding all the drawbacks, his so-called gratitude was fleeting, and he would still complain about Big Brother Downs later.

Odin was the type who could never be truly tamed.

Under such circumstances, Downs would certainly try to win over those who could be tamed.

Recently, Downs had a small problem—Frey.

This Aesir, now recognized as the most handsome, neither married, nor had children, nor even approached women.

This bothered Downs greatly.

Those gossipy, pure-blooded Aesir were secretly spreading rumors that Frey was Downs's male concubine.

Downs found it a bit difficult to handle.

Seriously, I bedded female giants, and doted on Valkyries, sweeping through almost all single Aesir goddesses, and you can still spread rumors about me?

Frey wasn't Loki; Frey's orientation was normal, he just hadn't met the right person yet.

Originally, Downs didn't pay much attention, but when he thought of Frey's idiotic actions in the sagas, he was speechless.

Can you believe that Frey gave his [Sword of Victory] to a messenger to pick up girls?!

The [Sword of Victory], realizing it had been abandoned by its master, directly shattered its sword spirit and turned into a mundane object.

Later, during [Ragnarok], Frey would fight Surt with a stag antler, eventually exhausting himself and dying in battle.

Such a good young man, it would be a waste not to take advantage of him!

If you don't want the power of the [Sword of Victory], you can give it to me!

Fortunately, Frey didn't have a father in this life, and wouldn't have his [Sword of Victory] stolen by a messenger sent by his father.

As Frey's lord and half-brother-in-law, Downs had to do his part for his dear little brother-in-law.

That day, Downs directly summoned Frey.

After Frey respectfully saluted, he still maintained his gentle and refined demeanor: "I wonder why His Majesty the God-King has summoned me?"

Downs pretended to chat casually, inquiring about his well-being, and after circling around, he casually asked: "I heard that recently many Aesir goddesses have been extending invitations to you?"

"This humble subject dares not aspire to the Aesir," Frey spoke the truth.

As a descended god, his wisest course of action was to become related to his lord through marriage.

Freyja had followed Downs.

For Frey, marrying one of Downs's daughters would be most suitable.

The problem was that Downs only had sons, not a single daughter.

After years of careful observation, Frey knew that Downs did not trust the pure-blooded Aesir.

The two gods Downs had with pure-blooded Aesir goddesses—Heimdall was fine, with his task of guarding the gate; Baldr was like a pure mascot.

Thor, Tyr, and Vidar were the only ones Downs truly trusted and entrusted with important tasks.

Even if Frey was stupid, he knew that he couldn't marry a pure-blooded Aesir goddess, nor a goddess from his own Vanir race.

So Frey's choices were very limited.

Here, Downs, knowing Frey's divine operation in the sagas, still couldn't help but ask: "So many beautiful light elves, not a single one catches your eye?"

Handsome men paired with beautiful women, and elves at that, just thinking about it felt like a dream.

Frey met Downs's gaze and gave an apologetic expression.

He bowed slightly: "I'm sorry, I have no feelings for light elves.

Or, could Your Majesty assign me a partner?"

Alas! It seems Frey can't escape the fate of climbing the tree.

Downs stopped pretending and revealed his intentions.

He didn't know why Frey was so favored by Odin in the sagas, that he could secretly run off to sit on the supreme throne of the Silver Palace without being punished.

Anyway, Downs couldn't start that precedent.

But if Downs personally handled it, there wouldn't be this problem.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

Downs pretended to ponder for a few seconds, and then a magical glow unique to magic rose from the supreme throne beneath him: "How about this, Frey.

I'll lend you the power of the [Supreme Throne] to peer into the Nine Realms.

You traverse the Nine Realms and see if there are any women you like?"

"This, wouldn't that be bad…?" Frey was quite cautious.

Although this was a gift from the God-King, he was afraid that the pure-blooded Aesir would say he was usurping the God-King's power if word got out.

Before he could object, Downs pointed his right index finger remotely, and a gorgeous seven-colored rainbow light shot out from his fingertip, hitting Frey's brow.

"Ah?!" Frey was surprised to find that his vision had become infinitely broad, and he could suddenly see the eight worlds beyond Asgard.

[Look around, whichever one you like, I'll propose marriage for you.]

"Then… thank you, Your Majesty."

The God-King's kindness was hard to refuse, so Frey had to comply.

Based on the two points that 'pure-blooded Aesir are not an option' and 'Downs has no daughters,' he was only left with one choice, which was Downs's maternal race, the [Giant race].

Originally, there was a suitable choice, which was Urd, one of the Norn sisters.

Her father, Mimir, was the older brother of Downs's mother.

Unfortunately, Urd had no interest in him, and marrying a fate goddess was somewhat taboo.

With no other choice, considering that the Vanir also had the ability to grow in size, the difference in size in the eyes of others was not a problem for the Vanir.

Frey could only choose a female giant.

However, if he had a choice, he would at least choose a beautiful one.

This was the common sentiment among gods.

Frey began to choose seriously.

His gaze crossed space, quickly sweeping across the frozen continent of Jotunheim, occasionally pausing on those beautiful female giants.

At this moment, Frey saw a beauty in the giant kingdom, and when she raised her arms, a ray of sunlight happened to fall, and the light reflected by her fair arms illuminated a large area of the sky and sea nearby.

Frey's heart instantly beat faster.

This time, it had the flavor of a political marriage, but after all, he was choosing a spouse according to his own aesthetics and interests.

Downs heard Frey's gasp of accelerated breathing and pretended to look in the direction of Frey's gaze: "Oh? Is that Gerd, daughter of Gymir?

You like this type?"

ps: Hey, there were a total of three updates at 2 AM on the 2nd, and the fifth update was automatically at 11:55 PM on the 2nd, all on the 2nd.

With the date as proof, can you say it wasn't five updates?

The main reason is that the time I updated in the middle of the night was too strange, and I didn't dare ask everyone to wait.

In the future, those two chapters that are automatically updated before 12 AM will be guaranteed, and the time for the next three updates is hard to guarantee, but they will definitely be there.
