13. Contradicting and Punishment--For Ergo Brothers [5/8](1/2)
Satan, or Marduke.
A powerful hell lord, a hell lord, controls its own Satan hell and has amazing strength. Compared with the power he was the king of hell, the strength that Marduke has mastered today is not worth mentioning.
It was very powerful at the beginning. It didn’t need to claim that it was Satan, and everyone respectfully called it Satan.
At that time, it even forced Odin, the god king at his peak, to treat him with courtesy. At that time, something happened within Asgard. In order to allow the loss of the God of Death to continue operating and to prevent his people from having nowhere to go after death, Odin reached some agreements with Marduke.
After all, there is a god of death in any hell.
Unfortunately, the incident of Marduke's fall came too suddenly. After being driven off the throne of Satan, Marduke's strength was greatly weakened and he was no longer able to maintain affairs other than his own hell.
This directly led to the descent of Asgard's underworld, which was not managed by the god of death, becoming in ruins. Over the years, Odin has been using his own strength to maintain the ancient tradition, and the queen of the diva Friga knew about this.
The queen of divine unwilling to let Thor become Asgard's messenger, and there are also reasons for this. What happened in Asgard's underworld cannot be known by Thor and Loki. It is the secret that should be buried forever.
But unfortunately, Thor and Loki's solitary behavior made this matter worse and worse...
Until now, it has been somewhat inexhaustible.
The son caused trouble but was unable to clean up the mess, so he had to let the old father come forward and let the old father bear all the consequences for his actions.
"Swish"
Thor was thrown out of Satan's hell by Marduke, and he fell in a mess on the cold snow in Neforheim.
"Reckless guy, don't let me see you in my hell next time."
Marduke's voice echoed in Thor's ears:
"Good you have a good dad, but he can't save you the second time!"
"Bang"
Thor's warhammer Mjolnier was also thrown out and hit the snow in front of Thor. The lightning was jumping on the black warhammer, representing the rebellious Mjolnier, who was also very dissatisfied with this treatment.
But if you are not as strong as others, you can only bear it silently.
Thor is very strong, but he is not strong enough, especially when facing an existence like Marduke, Thor's proud power...is still a little short of that.
Well, it's actually a lot worse, but you have to take care of Thor's self-esteem.
"Courage always makes warriors full of strength..."
The raven Munning flapped his wings and landed in a cold valley covered with snow. It stood on an frozen, bare branch.
It tilted its head and stared at Thor. After returning to the territory of the Nine Kingdoms, Odin's power projection finally no longer needs to endure the suppression from hell.
The next moment, accompanied by Odin's low voice, the projection of the God King appeared beside his son.
Odin was wearing the armor of the God King, very majestic. The golden armor and the war dress were engraved with Lun runes. A golden ox-horned battle helmet covered Odin's white hair. The eye mask covering his eyes added a hint of fierceness to the God King.
He leaned on the eternal gun in his left hand, and sat on the rock beside Thor, looking calm and gentle. He looked at his son who had climbed up from the ground and said:
"But it is not enough to be a king. Has this trip taught you a lesson?"
"Yes, I learned it, Father."
Thor half kneeled in shame in front of Odin, he placed the Hammer of Thor in the snow at hand, and he said:
"The next time I will compare the enemy with my strength more carefully before taking action, and I will not act recklessly anymore."
"Alas, there is power in failure, and even failure will teach you a lot."
Odin's projection held the gun of eternity, and he pivoted it around the ground, saying:
"It will make you grow, your grandfather, my father, Poor, once taught me that mistakes and failures, and victory are more worth remembering, and they will make you a better person. You say you know you are wrong, Thor, then tell me, where are you wrong?"
Thor took a deep breath and said:
"I shouldn't be provoked by the demon, I shouldn't be blinded by anger, and I shouldn't be rushing into Satan's hell so recklessly."
"I have not controlled my strength, so that you have to temporarily put down your military affairs and rushed to hell to save me, so that you have to compromise with the evil devil, and my failure has shamed you, Father."
"Um?"
Odin's one-eyed eyes narrowed, and after a few seconds, he asked again:
"What else?"
"besides..."
Thor frowned and thought hard, he said:
"I didn't prepare more when I set out. I was too careless. If I could bring more warriors with me, the dead souls that were plundered by the demons would be released, and I wouldn't fall into an embarrassing failure."
"I look too high on myself and ignore group cooperation among the warriors."
A trace of dissatisfaction flashed in Odin's eyes, but he suppressed it and continued to ask:
"What else?"
"And...oh, by the way."
Thor kept reviewing his tactics in his mind, and he thought of another mistake, saying:
"Before I went to pursue the demon of Satan, the kind-hearted queen at the border of hell gave me a warning not to get too close to the entrance of Satan's hell, but I took the Queen's warning as a wind in my ears. If I listened to her warning, I might not..."
"Not these! Thor."
Odin couldn't listen anymore, and he stood up in front of his son's eyes, and he strengthened his tone:
"I don't want to hear this, Thor, you obviously haven't understood your biggest mistake yet!"
Speaking of this, Odin sighed with regret:
"My son, I have watched you grow up proudly day by day, watch you tame Mjolnir, watch you command the warriors of Asgard, and win one victory after another for our world."
"I once thought you would be the best heir to the king. My mother and I have been trying to add more wisdom to your courage, but now it seems that you still lack something."
The God King put Gangniel's projection at hand. In this lonely and deserted land, he faded the king's majesty and said to his son in the tone of a real old father:
“You are so arrogant that you lose your judgment of danger;”
"You are too arrogant to let you not listen to useful suggestions;"
"You are too persistent and make you disobey your relatives."
"These are your mistakes, but none of them are the most important, especially for a prince who will inherit the throne in the future, and these mistakes have time to correct them."
"Thor, look at me."
Odin scolded, and the blonde prince raised his head and looked at his father. He heard his father say to him earnestly:
"Your biggest mistake is that you should not confuse the king's guardian with the warrior's stubbornness."
"As a warrior, you performed remarkably, but as a king, you failed. At the moment you broke into Satan's hell, have you never thought that your identity and blood determine that you represent not only yourself!"
"Hard combat is a ability, enjoying combat is a trait, and loving combat can be understood as a fanaticism, but kid, listen to me, fighting is not the same thing as war..."
Odin reached out to Thor's forehead and said:
"You blatantly invaded the territory of another force without permission. You are provoking a war. My child, that is something that only lunatics will do, and you are completely unaware of it."
"You don't realize that because of your personal thoughts and will, you are pulling your country, your people, your friends and relatives into a war that will be started by you."
"You keep saying that this is all about defending the lives of the people, but is that how you protect them?"
Odin asked:
"Use your hammer to protect them? Or should you protect them with the wisdom of the king you have?"
"There will not be any hammer in the divine realm that will make you swing it and become the most perfect king. Thor and Mjolnir can't do it! You can no longer look at everything as a warrior..."
“Shouldn’t I do that?”
Thor did not accept his father's scolding. Instead, he refuted:
"Do you want me to stand by when you see our people not being at peace after death? Do you want me to stand by and watch with your own eyes as the souls of your people are dragged into hell by the demons and become the food that the demons compete for?"
"Father, that's not what you taught me!"
Thor looked at his father in disbelief and said:
"We want to protect everyone like we protect everyone... I still remember you saying this, but now, you blame me for it?"
"You can totally end this in a better way!"
Odin is a traditional parent. Seeing his son talking back to him, his anger that was previously coerced by the devil also rose at this moment, and he scolded:
"You have the choice to return to Asgard, discuss this with your mother, and the ministers. We can completely resolve everything you have discovered in a diplomatic way!"
"You are a prince, and you will become a king in the future. What you have is definitely more than a hammer used to smash people! Thor! You made a mistake! You put your personal glory above the safety of the divine realm!"
"I don't think I'm wrong, father."
Thor was also a terrifying temper. He grabbed the hammer and stood up.
In the cold snow and snow, he shouted to his father:
"I saw my people suffering! If I don't help them, no one in hell will help them! I can't turn a blind eye to it. You can say I'm reckless, you can say I'm stupid, but at least I have a clear conscience in this matter!"
"On the contrary, you, Father, look at everything with the eyes of the king! Your throne is too high, and you don't want to pay attention to the troubles encountered by your own people..."
"Diplomatic means? Ha, after our diplomats and the devil have been fighting back and forth for several years, how many people will fall into the devil's belly? You can wait patiently on the throne, and all you look downwards are smiling faces... But what about the people? How long can they wait?"
