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

The sea monster's counterattack was useless to Serius. Driven by his great strength, the battle ax from the gods easily tore apart all the tentacles that came on the attack. For a while, the pieces of the tentacles and the strange body fluids of the sea monster It enveloped the area like rain.

Realizing the gap in strength between the two sides from the previous battle, the huge sea monster dived directly into the sea, and its remaining limbs slid wildly, trying to escape from the terrifying enemy Serius.

"Want to escape? How is it possible."

Serius raised the battle ax high, the muscles in his arms that were already bulging expanded again, and then aimed at the black shadow under the water and slammed the battle ax down.

The scattered strong winds set off raging waves, and a huge gap instantly appeared on the sea surface where the battle ax fell, and it quickly extended outward.

At this moment, the vast ocean was directly divided into two by Serius' ax power, and the fleeing sea monster was neatly separated from the middle, and was soon swallowed by the seawater that came up again... .

Chapter 6 Odin in Confusion

Under the shroud of night, everything is silent, only small waves roll up from time to time on the calm sea surface, reflecting a little glimmer of light under the soft moonlight.

"Beep!"

The flame burned the neatly cut firewood, and exploded clusters of dazzling and gorgeous sparks in bursts of crackling sounds.

Seleus squatted beside the fire, carefully skewered the body of the sea monster that he had torn into pieces on the drying wooden skewers, and then handed the processed meat skewers to Old Booth who volunteered to show his hand .

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Boots."

Looking at Old Booth who was turning the meat skewers from time to time while allowing the ingredients to be heated evenly, Serius rarely apologized with embarrassment.

When Seleus wiped out the sea monster and wanted to communicate with the two he had rescued, he was horrified to find that the two men were struggling with their lives hanging by a thread in the aftermath of his battle with the sea monster.

You must know that no matter how much Serius controlled him, the power he leaked during the battle still had a severe impact on the surrounding ocean.

Under the frantic beating of the waves, the small kayak of the two trembled, as if it would be swallowed by the raging sea at any moment.

Seeing the dangerous situation of the two, Seleus quickly manipulated the storm to calm the waves, and led the two to a nearby small island according to the guidance of Metis.

"Don't mind, Your Highness Serius." The middle-aged man reached out and delivered the grilled meat to Serius, with admiration and gratitude on his big face wrapped in a thick beard.

"If it weren't for you, Kid Kyle and I would have been turned into minced meat by that terrifying sea monster."

Because of Seleus' terrifying power and ability to manipulate storms, Old Boots naturally regarded him as a god he didn't understand, and the title of His Highness also came from this.

Fortunately, Northern Europe is a world where humans and gods live together. The Norse people do not have too much restraint and fear when facing the gods except for the necessary respect. This makes Celius acquiesce in the very convenient God status.

"One yard is one yard." Serius bit the meat into his mouth, and the smooth and chewy taste made the crimson eyes squint intoxicated.

Although there was no seasoning, the pure meaty aroma and the 'umami' taste stimulated by the old-fashioned technique still whetted Serius' appetite.

"My purpose is to save you from the sea monster, but if you are buried in the sea because of me, it will be my crime."

"Your Highness Seleus is really kind." Old Buzz laughed, and kept handing the grilled meat skewers to Seleus beside him with both hands. This is the only thing he can do to repay the god. thing.

"correct."

Seleus, who was feasting, suddenly thought of something, and his eyes suddenly turned to Kyle who was lying on the side. "Do you have anything to do with that young man named Kyle? I think you seem to care about him."

When the two were attacked by waves, the sober old Buzz not only did not give up on Kyle who was stunned, but tried his best to tie him to the boat. Several times almost got swept away by the waves.

You know, Serius, who grew up in Greece since he was a child, saw the most guys who only cared about his own protection and did not lend a helping hand to others. Even, for his own safety, it was not uncommon for him to personally sacrifice his blood relatives.

However, as an ordinary person, Old Booth prioritized the lives of the young people who were traveling with him when he was in danger. This made Serius a little curious.

"Kyle and I are just 'family members' of the same tribe, there is no special connection." Old Buzz turned to look at Kyle, with a smile on his lips.

It's hard to imagine that Seleus actually saw a kindness on the face of this burly, thick-haired middle-aged man in a rough leather battle suit.

"As for why you care about him so much..." Saying so, Old Boots handed the grilled meat skewers to Serius again.

"First of all, I believed in the divine power of His Royal Highness Sirius, and then I was old, but Kyle is a young and very talented guy."

"So, whether it's for myself or for the future of the tribe, I must do my best to keep this kid alive..."

The Norse people believe that as long as they die bravely in battle, their souls will be brought into the Hall of Valkyries by the Valkyries, and they will receive supreme glory and endless food and wine.

On the contrary, the messenger of the kingdom of death will pull his soul into the underground world full of torture and fog, never seeing the light of day.

If old Boots died here, he would be a warrior who died fighting against the giant wave storm until the last moment, and if it was the unconscious Kyle who died...

"Woo-cough cough!"

Kyle, who was in a coma, suddenly coughed violently, then slowly opened his eyes, and glanced at the surrounding environment with some confusion.

Immediately afterwards, his eyes changed instantly, and he got up very quickly, and then lowered his body center of gravity as if instinctively, clenched his hands naturally, and put on a fighting posture very vigilantly.

"Stinky boy, don't hurry up and come over to thank His Highness Seleus for saving his life."

Hearing Old Buzz's familiar voice, Kyle, who was wary just now because of the unfamiliar environment, was obviously taken aback for a moment.

But after noticing Old Buzz, Serius, and the mighty battle ax on Seleus' back by the fire, the young man sat down by the fire and respectfully greeted Serius. Salute and thank you.

"Thank you very much, Your Highness Serius."

"It's just a matter of raising your hands." Seleus waved his hand, signaling the young man not to care.

After all, he doesn't need a reason to help others, not to mention that the two of them have already given Serius enough 'remuneration'.

"Here you are, after being in a coma for so long, you must be starving." Serius casually gave Kyle one of the meat skewers that Old Boots handed over, and then continued to eat.

But Kyle just stared blankly at the meat skewers in his hand, not knowing what he was thinking.

"What's wrong?" Serius waved his hand in front of Kyle. "If you're concerned about your loot, it's on that kayak of yours..."

"No, I'm not worried about the spoils." Kyle ate all the meat in one gulp, chewed it casually a few times, and swallowed it directly.

After doing this, he looked up at Serius beside him as if he had made up his mind.

"I just intend to dedicate that spoil to Your Highness." There was an unimaginable firmness in the young man's eyes, and it could be seen that this guy was absolutely serious.

"Oh?" Serius chewed the food in his mouth, and looked at Kyle in front of him very puzzled. "I heard from Mr. Boots that this is your wedding present."

"The spoils of war that I only got in exchange for a narrow escape must be dedicated to me in this way. The high probability is to repay my kindness." 'Thinking of this, Seleus swallowed all the food in his mouth.

'Although he hesitated for a long time, it is such an important thing to him... just like Mr. Boots said, he is a very good guy. '

With a clear understanding, Seleus shook his head lightly. "If it's to thank me for saving my life, I won't accept it."

"But this is already the most precious thing I can offer." Young Kyle looked helpless.

"And our disaster came because of that trophy. In other words, without your help, I wouldn't be able to get this trophy anyway."

"Because of emotion and reason, this trophy should belong to you."

"That's not the only reason why I don't accept it." Seleus waved his hand. "The so-called repayment, you must at least give a reward that satisfies the benefactor."

"I know that the giant squid alone can't compare with the power of the gods, but..." Kyle lowered his head in frustration.

"No, no, Kyle, you misunderstood me." Serius slapped the young man on the shoulder, staring at him seriously.

"I said before that helping you is just a matter of effort. In fact, if I didn't find out in time, you two would probably be buried in the waves I created..."

Kyle scratched his head in confusion, he didn't understand what Serius wanted to express.

"That is to say, I don't think my casual help is worth repaying with your most precious thing."

"But this is a life-saving grace..." the young man muttered.

Different from the small deal made privately with Old Buzz, the god Seleus saved his life in a real sense. If he doesn't repay him, he will have no glory at all, and it will be difficult for him to reach the legend after death. Hall of Valor.

"Okay, okay, let me put it another way." Kyle, who was unexpectedly stubborn in this regard, made Seleus rub his brows with some headaches.

"Since I saved your life, if you want to repay your kindness, don't you want to listen to me?"

Kyle nodded, agreeing with Seleus's proposal.

"That's it." Seleus folded his arms around his chest. "If you meet someone who is in trouble like you today, how about I trouble you to lend a helping hand like me?"

Kyle glanced at Serius strangely. "But does it do you any good?"

"Then how about telling each other about the agreement the two of us made today after extending a helping hand? I just need some fame during this time..."

.........

Odin didn't inform anyone, and didn't ride his eight-legged horse. Instead, he quietly followed the Rainbow Bridge and the thick root of the World Tree to Uda at the root of the World Tree. spring.

Beside this beautiful lake, the emerald green grass is refreshing. In normal times, the gods often rest, gather and drink here, and the three goddesses of destiny will also welcome the gods here, but this time, this time they come Odin is the only one.

Unexpectedly, the three fateful sisters had already stood on the grass and waited for a long time.

The three sisters of destiny can weave the fate of all mortals and know the fate of all gods. Naturally, they can know Odin's secret visit.

"God King Odin, I salute you."

Uld, who was the oldest at the head, took a step forward. She has a beautiful face and a slim figure. Compared with the other two younger sisters, she is more calm and generous. She leaned slightly towards Odin as she spoke. pay tribute.

Although the tone is respectful, there is no awe on her face. The three sisters of fate do not belong to the gods in essence, nor are they colleagues of the gods. They are the weavers of fate and the supreme judges. The world calls them "" Norn".

Norn, also known as Valla, or female prophets, these female prophets often know the past and the future, and have the power to discern fate, and the three sisters of fate are the gods in Norn, because they can not only understand Fate can weave destiny.

Even the gods must obey the fate judgment they made. The respect for Odin is only because they respect him as the god king who rules the nine worlds, so naturally there is nothing to fear.

And Odin didn't care about it, but asked.

"Is Mimir there?"

"Father has been waiting for a long time."

Uld replied calmly, and then she bowed and retreated, her body disappeared into the air together with the other two goddesses, and behind them disappeared, a path hidden in the bushes that did not exist originally was revealed. of quiet paths.

Odin walked straight along this secluded path. Not long after, a clear spring appeared before his eyes, revealing a glimpse of clear spring water, and a late old man with white hair and beard, leaning against the spring water and dozing off.

"Mimil."

Looking at him, Odin frowned, then shouted.

According to rumors, there is a fountain of wisdom at the root of the World Tree. Whether it is a god, giant, dwarf, or elf drinking the spring water, it will become full of wisdom.However, an old giant, Mimir, guards the spring and prevents others from drinking the wisdom contained in it.

Only God King Odin, after meeting him, was able to drink a sip of wisdom spring at the cost of his right eye, thus gaining supreme wisdom, able to know what happened in the past, what happened in the present, and what will happen in the future. what happened, and thus be regarded as wise.

The old man, who seemed to be asleep, woke up after a while, and slowly opened his eyes. His deep pupils were full of twilight, as if he was indifferent to everything that happened in this world.

"Ah, Odin, you are finally here."

He looked at Odin in front of him, and while speaking in a flat tone, he waved casually and motioned for Odin to sit down, as if he was not facing a powerful god-king, but a As calm as an old friend for many years.

Odin sat by the spring without speaking, and the long-term tacit understanding let him know how to get along with this old man.

Mimir's cloudy eyes seemed to be open and closed, as if he had no strength, making one almost doubt that he would fall asleep so directly in the next moment.

"I know what you want to ask...it's about the dream you had some time ago, and the soldier who appeared in the dream, right?"

Chapter 7 Destiny

"Sure enough, nothing in this world can be hidden from you."

After being silent for a long time, Odin spoke slowly in a low and majestic voice. "I know the danger of the third son of Rocky, I know that Frost and Flame are always watching, but in my latest prophecy, these guys are as worthless as dung..."

"Ned Hogg shrouded the world in despair, and opposite him, the crimson warrior radiating hope..." Mimir said slowly in an old voice.

"That's not necessarily the fighter who brings 'hope', at least it certainly doesn't give me hope."

The old giant's words seemed to have hit Odin's sore spot. The excited King of the Nine Realms waved his fists, and his majestic voice was obviously tinged with a little irritability.

"But you can't deny that when the corpses of the gods, including Odin, are hung profanely on the Horn of Despair, the only one who can fight against Despair is the crimson warrior."

Mimir shook his head, but an unimaginable light of wisdom shone in his cloudy eyes. "Even if you are afraid of that warrior because of the 'world gun' in his hand, he is the real 'hope'."

"Just because he is fighting the dragon?" Odin was still a little unconvinced.

"In fact, he was battling 'despair'."

Odin opened his mouth, trying to refute something, but he hesitated for a long time, and finally gave up.

The opposite of 'despair' is of course 'hope', no matter whether he, the king of the nine realms, admits it or not.

Mimir stared at him, his cloudy pupils were extremely deep, as if he could see through all the thoughts in the heart of the God King in front of him, he said slowly.

"You are afraid, Odin..."

His tone was unusually certain.

God King Odin is actually afraid?

If other people knew this sentence, they would laugh out loud, but only Odin himself knew... what Mimir said was true.

"You fear the fate that hangs over the gods and the world—Regaruk."

"You had a premonition that Loki's three children would become the scourge of the whole world, so you exiled them first, but Loki was also dissatisfied with you because of this... You felt very bad about it, But I have to harden my heart and be ruthless."
