I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

"Sure enough, drink it." Seleus sighed, but still made his choice.

After all, unknown means unfathomable and difficult to guard against. That is to say, when the unknown state of Seleus erupts, no one can be sure what kind of harm Seleus will bring.

But the consequences of sacrificing the right eye have already been demonstrated by Odin. If Seleus is careful to prevent it, he will not cause an irreparable tragedy like Odin... Or, according to his personality, he can't do anything Extremely bad decision.

In addition, Serius is not as unambiguous as Odin in Greece, so even if something goes wrong, elders can come to stop it.

"Then come with me, Seleus, who will save the world."

Urd gestured to Seleus, who had made her choice, and she turned and walked on a path that appeared suddenly.

'Did Goddess Urd's eyes light up just now? 'Selius thought suspiciously, but he quickly put aside these distracting thoughts, and followed the figure of the goddess closely...

............

"Although it is not the first time, I am still amazed by the magic of this spring water."

Seleus followed the goddess to the water of the Fountain of Wisdom. He looked down at the clear spring water, amazed and reflected on the surface of the water, all kinds of things about the past and the future.

"What should I do next?" Serius asked Uld beside him. "Do you want to gouge out the eyes and give them to you?"

"You do need to pierce your right eye with your sharp spear, but you don't leave it to me." The goddess shook her head, and then pointed to the spring water in front of her. "Since it is a sacrifice for the Fountain of Wisdom, it must be offered to Himself."

"Dedicate your right eye to the Fountain of Wisdom with a sharp spear?" Seleus looked at Uld suspiciously. "Did Odin do the same?"

The goddess of fate did not answer, but her attitude gave Serius a rough guess.

'This question concerns my fate. Thinking of this, Seleus took out his Meteor Spear, and carefully watched the exquisite original rune on the gun.

'The answer to the question is nothing more than three types: did it, didn't do it, and did it but didn't finish it. Among them, the answer of doing it has no effect on fate at all. That is to say, Odin didn't use a sharp gun like me Sacrifice to the Fountain of Wisdom...'

As the "fate", Uld would never take the initiative to interfere with the fate of a living being. Thinking of this, Seleus reversed the sharp spear without hesitation, and directly stabbed his right eye with the spear point.

"Pfft!"

Crimson and dazzling blood sprayed out, soon staining Serius' face red.

But he mercilessly pulled out the sharp gun stuck in the socket of his right eye, and turned it back into the clear fountain of wisdom again, together with the right eye he had plucked out with his own hands.

At the moment when Serius immersed his right eye into the fountain of wisdom, countless mysterious and deeply hidden "wisdom" began to pour into his mind frantically.

Seleus' thinking instantly stagnated, as if his soul had been pulled out of his body. Although he could perceive the outside world, his thinking seemed to be frozen in time.

In other words, he is now like an old-fashioned computer weighing several tons, but it needs to process huge information that can shut down the quantum computer in an instant, and even, the continuous information is still growing exponentially.

Even with the help of Metis, Seleus's consciousness was overwhelmed by the 'wisdom' transmitted from the 'right eye' almost instantly.

He quickly calmed down, no longer tried to understand the 'wisdom' in it, but maintained his soul with all his strength as if he was under some kind of spiritual attack.

Death, smelting, guardianship, foresight, hindsight, the sun...all the powers involving the soul are urged by him with all his strength.

But the heavy burden from consciousness still made him breathless, and even when Serius forcibly used those "wisdom" as a mental attack, an unbearable pain really burst out from the depths of his brain .

His whole body was trembling with severe pain, and cold sweat was also pouring out quickly. Serius's spirit began to be in a trance, and his consciousness was almost lost, but he still persisted and survived with his indomitable will.

Finally, when he closed his left eye in pain, a light that illuminated the endless void suddenly appeared in the vision of his right eye, which was originally nothingness...

Seleus saw it.

It was an inexplicable and indescribably huge light group, which was both real and illusory; both tangible and formless...

He is there, He is not there, He is the beginning of all things, the end of all things, He is the unity of past, present and future...

He is - the root.

Legend has it that those who can get in touch with the vortex of the root and pry into the causal relationship of all things will be able to gain the wisdom to understand all things... In other words, the vortex of the root is the ultimate wisdom.

And the reason why the fountain of wisdom can give people infinite wisdom is precisely because the end of the spring is connected to the vortex of the root.

But the ultimate also represents the limit, everything has its limit, without the 'limit', the concept of 'infinity' will be lost.

And since there must be 'infinity', it is necessary to demarcate the boundary line of 'limitation'.

Therefore, 'omniscience' is 'ignorance'. The more ignorant you are, the closer you are to the source, and the more you can obtain omniscience. Just like Yin and Yang, contradictions arise from contradictions, but they are also mutual transformations.

Seleus accidentally played a trick.

He is not ignorant, but he has the wisdom 'Metis' by his side. In order to protect himself, he did not receive all kinds of 'wisdom' from the source...

He didn't know the existence of the root, but he poked his right eye into the connection of the root. He closed his visible left eye tightly, but his invisible right eye inevitably 'opened'...

It was under such coincidences that Seleus was able to see the vortex of the source in the dark, and obtained the completion of 'quality' and 'character' from it.

Although these "completions" did not make him as omniscient as the root, they were enough to make the current Serius climb a higher ladder.

The silver-white light of creation is the beginning, and the purple-black flame of destruction is the end. Between the 'beginning' and the 'end', the powers of the three systems form a complete closed loop, and are smelted by the 'hope' fire. Perfectly integrated with Seleus.

The golden ripples of life erupted and radiated continuously from the top of his head. In a short moment, he surpassed the limitation of the world and sublimated into the realm of the "great".

At this moment, a kind of peace that is almost nothingness surrounds him tightly, and 'he' has thus become a 'he'.

He raised one hand and gently pressed his right eye. Unexpectedly, but also within reason, there was no trace of blood in the bloody eye socket. The familiar bulging and clear vision told Him all fact.

He regained a golden eye.

The fact that he regained one eye caused waves to resurface in his pupils, and the identity, emotion, and essence that belonged to Seleus reappeared in him. Although he was extremely indifferent, it turned him back to The being who wants to be a hero.

Then, the flame of destruction ignited from the tip of the spear, and with it a large area of ​​spring water, the 'right eye' that originally peeped into the vortex of the root turned into nothingness in an instant.

And after losing this only connection, the exuberant 'divinity' on him disappeared rapidly visible to the naked eye.

Finally, just like he disappeared before, the child who was picked up from the River Styx by Hades, the king of Hades, reappeared next to the Fountain of Wisdom.

"call----"

Serius, who breathed a long sigh of relief, directly collapsed on the ground. Although he is still "He", his essence has changed from "son of root" to "elevated great one", which is similar to the enlightened one. A general being, not an omniscient and omnipotent 'God'.

"It's really dangerous." Serius, who found that Uld disappeared at some point, patted his chest, as if he still had lingering fears about what just happened.

He once thought about his own death, but he never thought that one day he would almost lose himself in such a situation where the rewards were being settled after defeating the boss.

[To be honest, your state at that time also shocked me... But, don't you have no nostalgia for that kind of power? 】

"Although I don't mind the increase in my own strength, the premise is that 'I' must be 'I'. Otherwise, what's the point of being stronger?"

Seleus waved his hand quite casually, and then he created a cup and scooped it full. "Also, even if I regain myself, I still feel that I am a little weird now."

【Do you want to continue drinking? 】

"It's not just me who has also been sublimated." Seleus slowly drank the fountain of wisdom in his hand, and he could feel his spirit growing.

"Although Nid Hogg's despair has become a part of me, as he said - his despair has become my worst nightmare."

"I thought it was a curse and a blessing at the same time... Or, as I said, Ned Hogben gave me a blessing that can ignore all curses, but I didn't expect his curse to be erratic. What was wrong was literally realized.”

Suppressing the seeds of despair deep in his soul, Seleus began to feel his current strength.

He opened his eyes, and the real world, the foundation of rules, the deep mysteries... the grand and boundless development sequence, and the extremely precise operating mechanism gradually unfolded in his vision.

He waved his hand, and a gust of wind gently caressed a flying bird, causing the unlucky guy to fall headfirst on the ground, shaking his head dizzily.

Seeing this, Serius nodded in satisfaction.

[Next, what are your plans? 】

"Look for Odin to get the reward I deserve, and then, say hello to the friends in Northern Europe and leave." Seleus opened the void in front of him with his sharp spear, raised his foot and stepped in.

"This journey is over and it's time for me to go back to my family..."

Chapter 71 Return

"Are you going?"

In the Golden Palace Hualas Gaiav, Odin on the throne looked a bit melancholy, and his only one eye looked at Serius in the hall with regret.

Some things are always cherished after they are lost. Odin originally thought that this sentence was only applicable to mortals, but he did not expect that as a god king, he would have such a mood.

Even under the guidance of fate, Odin is reluctant to leave Celius...or, it is precisely because he has figured everything out that he intends to keep this kind hero in their northern Europe.

"I have been away from my hometown for a long time, Your Majesty Odin." Seleus stared at the God King with a complicated expression.

"Also, the purpose of my coming here is for the three 'illusory things', and now that the deal between us has been completed, it's time for me to go home with my reward."

As soon as the words fell, the bustling Golden Palace suddenly became very quiet. It was still carnival just now, and the gods celebrating the salvation of the world all looked at Seleus in the center of the hall in shock.

After all that had happened, especially after Seleus fought against Nidhogg, the gods almost forgot that the crimson warrior was actually an outsider.

"Actually..." Odin stepped down from the throne, and he came to Serius's side, and reached out to show the faces of the gods to the crimson warrior who had saved them.

"The gods have already regarded you as a part of Asgard, and your brothers, Thor and Baldr... In short, each of us welcomes you, and you can regard this place as your home .”

"How should I say it?" Serius rubbed the back of his head, because of his personality, he didn't know how to deal with this friendly attitude. "I promised some people to go back as soon as possible, but you know, I have delayed too much time."

"It's not urgent...I mean, since it's been delayed for so long, it's not a big deal to stay for another day or two." Odin narrowed his one eye, looking like a kind old man Same.

"So what if we stay for another day or two?" Seleus frowned indistinctly, with a little more vigilance on his face.

Although he didn't detect any malice on Odin's body, he still detected a somewhat familiar but very uncomfortable aura from the old man's face.

Under normal circumstances, this is the aura that only Loki, who intends to play a prank, exudes.

"The sharp gun is the symbol of the god king of Asgard, and it is the authority to control the nine worlds. Therefore, whoever holds the sharp gun is the king of Asgard." Odin grinned, revealing His straight, white teeth.

"As you can see, my Great God Declaration has long since disappeared during the battle with Ned Hogg, and you who hold another sharp gun will naturally become the new God King of Asgard, and these two days , it is natural to prepare the ceremony for the coronation of the god king for you."

The gods were stunned. They all looked at Baldr at the side in unison, but the God of Light just smiled and seemed not surprised by the news.

Obviously, Odin had communicated with his successor in advance, and Baldr did not object.

The person involved, Serius, looked at Odin in front of him dumbfounded. For a moment, this scene with such a strong sense of sight even made him feel that he had heard it wrong.

After all, he had veiledly rejected Odin once before when he named the sharp gun, but he didn't expect Odin to ask again in front of the gods.

"Although I am very grateful for your trust, please forgive me for refusing this request." Serius shook his head after reacting. No matter what, he could not become the king of gods in other worlds.

"Really? That's really a pity." Odin sighed faintly, and the whole god seemed to have aged a lot at once. "Obviously you have helped us so much, but we have nothing to repay you."

'So it was just to repay me. Thinking of this, Seleus put away the vigilance in his heart, and planned to comfort Odin, who he thought had changed his mind.

"My help to you is only because I..."

"Since you don't want to become a god king, how about letting Freya, the most beautiful goddess in Asgard, marry you?"

Before Serius finished speaking, he was frightened back by the wretched old man who suddenly came over, and, if it weren't for him as the "great one" who could interfere with time to some extent, the current Odin would have been killed by a long time ago. Slap to Hela.

"Did you know that you almost don't have to worry about repaying your kindness anymore?" Serius waved his hands at Odin in front of him with a look of disgust, as if he was driving away some dirty things. .

"That kind of thing doesn't matter at all." But Odin stretched out a hand without seeing anything, and clasped it tightly on Serius' shoulder. "Come here first and take a closer look at the beautiful Freya."

"No, I don't think topics involving life and death can be classified as irrelevant." Seleus tugged Odin's restless hand with his face full of black lines. "Also, let me go, you old rascal!"

This old god king who didn't want to be a god king didn't seem to realize that he had just jumped back and forth between life and death.

In other words, even if Odin knew it, he wouldn't care too much - anyway, even if he was killed, someone could get him back.

Moreover, the guy who killed him and then fished him up from the Underworld might even agree to a few more conditions because of guilt.

Why not do such a good thing?Don't you think so, Serius.

"Don't rush to refuse, you should understand that Asgard, which rules the Nine Realms, has three most precious treasures - the sun, the moon, and the beautiful goddess Freya."

Odin pointed to the goddess Freya surrounded by many melon-eating gods.

Her blond hair fell in curls on her shoulders, shining in the morning light, and she wore a cloak of the most costly feathers, and around her neck hung the Leaving the necklace off the body of Brinsings.

At this moment, this beautiful goddess was looking at Serius who was forcibly pulled over with joy, and seeing her performance, Odin seemed to have discussed today's situation with Freya in advance, and asked The beauty agrees.

To be honest, just looking at the appearance, Freya is worthy of the name of the treasure that the gods will protect even in danger.

But no matter how beautiful Freya is, Seleus will not agree to it.

"How about it, since you don't want to be the god king of Asgard, how about marrying the most beautiful goddess in Asgard."

Looking at the wretched smile beside him, who looks like a wretched old man who will drag you to some indescribable place to have fun at any time, it is difficult for Serius to associate him with the enlightened God King Odin a few minutes ago together.

In other words, it is precisely because he has come to a full realization, and because he understands that his majesty is basically irretrievable, Odin, who is broken and broken, has chosen a life attitude that makes him feel most relaxed.

"Of course, it is not ruled out that this is Odin's nature, or because he was suppressed too hard by Regaluk, and the result is the possibility of becoming a pervert once he is released..." Looking at Odin's face, there is no trace of "processing" Serius couldn't help thinking about that wretched smile.

"The wedding is completely prepared by us, and the best man and bridesmaid are also selected by us. You only need to stay comfortably in the Nine Realms for two days and everything will be fine. After that, it will not affect your return to your hometown at all."

As if to enhance his persuasion, Odin patted his chest vigorously.

Seleus didn't speak, but stared at Odin with his eyes fixed on his shoulders and didn't let go.

With the help of Metis, Seleus easily figured out Odin's plan.
