The crow in the water is really strange. The way it flutters in the sea water looks a bit like a duck.
Zhang Zicheng asked curiously: "Are you okay?"
The crow was silent for a while, and then a hoarse voice came out: "First time meeting, hello, Outer God. I am Odin, the prophet from Asgard, may I ask your name?"
This voice sounded directly in Zhang Zicheng's ears. If it were Zhang Zicheng in the past, he might have felt it was magical. But for him now, this simple method of transmitting audio messages directly to the edge of the other party's consciousness, he
I learned it instantly just by being exposed to it.
So Zhang Zicheng used the same method and silently asked Odin: "Since you are a prophet, don't you know my name?"
Although just seeing that Odin was pierced through the chest by Loki without any precautions, we can probably guess what is wrong with Odin's Vision Eye now.
But Zhang Zicheng is still particularly curious about this ability involving time and predicting the future. After all, there are too many paradoxes in this ability.
It's like you know what you're going to say in 10 seconds, will fate force you to say it? If fate can be changed, how accurate is this kind of prediction of the future? Or is it just showing something?
Just a possibility?
The crow sighed in the sea water, two bubbles popped out, and then responded in his mind: "Of course I don't know... but the reason for not knowing is not because you are from outside the Nine Realms.
God. Our divine power is not that cheap. Even if it is the Holy Spirit of other worlds, as long as I can see it, I can also vaguely see the future of the other person based on his power."
As he spoke, the crow's beak was pointed at Zhang Zicheng, and its two empty eye sockets made the bird's head, which was already meatless, look like the remains of a burnt blackened bird skull.
Zhang Zicheng looked at Odin strangely, wondering what the other person was emphasizing in this way.
It sounds... a bit like telling yourself not to underestimate him?
Then I heard Odin continue: "But it is a pity that not long ago, when you came to the atrium, my visionary eyes were burned by the scarlet color while observing you."
Zhang Zicheng understood immediately.
He used his spiritual energy to block the invisible prying eyes.
Unexpectedly, it was psychic energy again. The power obtained from lower dimensions was really beyond Zhang Zicheng’s expectation.
Odin said helplessly: "Originally, with that kind of injury, I only need to rest for a period of time. After all, I was just observing you at that time and wanted to see your specific actions after your arrival. The future of observation is not
It lasts a long time, so the backlash is not big."
The crow was hunched over in the water, giving people an old feeling. Zhang Zicheng looked at the other person, but he was actually a little unable to connect it with the clear image of the words in his mind, and he was a little distracted for a moment.
"But later, when I used the eyes of vision to observe the fate of other people, I accidentally discovered your vague figure. This made me have a strong curiosity and desire to win... So I tried to force
Let’s go see the role you played in Ragnarok.”
At this point, Odin stopped talking.
Zhang Zicheng also understood. It seems that the backlash this time was particularly violent, so much so that Odin, a blind man, almost became blind.
Well, that sounds weird.
At this time, Zhang Zicheng suddenly remembered the God of Death he had seen when he first came to this world.
Now, he finally came into contact with the mythical characters in this world. Although he was no longer so curious, he still asked: "Speaking of which, when I first came to this world, I saw a hooded man holding a sickle.
The skeleton, is that your Asgardian god of death?"
Odin was slightly startled, and the crow also tilted his head in confusion, shook his head and said: "There is no death in Asgard, but there is in the Nine Realms. Loki's daughter is in charge of the entire Helheim, and she doesn't like it very much.
I, therefore, do not allow me to use the Eyes of Vision to see everything in Helheim, otherwise I will kill one of my children. The Death God you saw is probably one of Hela's subordinates." p>
Zhang Zicheng nodded. It seems that this is a pure world view of the Nine Realms. I thought it would be a mixture of myths and legends. After all, in the first castle he entered, the monks looked very Christian.
But after hearing Odin's speech, Zhang Zicheng asked strangely: "Hela said he would kill one of your children, just kill him? Can't you stop him?"
If it were an ordinary family, Zhang Zicheng would certainly not be that gossipy. But in Zhang Zicheng's impression, Odin is the king of the gods after all, and his status in Norse mythology may even be slightly higher than Zeus's status in Greek mythology. p>
After all, Zeus' moral integrity is shattered, and he is still full of majesty in the original myth, but in most literary and artistic works, he does not get the respect of Hera, Athena, Hades and other gods...
It's not like Nordic mythology. Loki is the king of all pots. Whatever happens, if you can't find the reason, it must be Loki's doing. If you can find a clear reason, there must be Loki's unknown conspiracy behind it. It's true.
He has done all the dirty work. And every time Loki makes trouble, it is Odin who finally punishes the opponent and solves the problem. This also makes Odin look much more majestic than Zeus of the same level.<
/p>
Well, thinking about it this way, it is very understandable that Loki has finally become the leader of Asgard who is almost a god-king in this reincarnation, and he is unwilling to be the scapegoat again.
Odin's mood was not so helpless this time. He said straightforwardly: "Because I was the one who brought Hela to Helheim and turned the living Hela into death. To put it simply, I almost killed her, so
I owe her a life."
Sure enough, Odin, who is not the King of Gods, will have to pay the price for whatever he does.
Hela was just exiled to Helheim. Even if Odin did it in the Marvel version, who paid the price? In the Marvel version, he just died of old age.
Zhang Zicheng met a know-it-all who was willing to answer questions, and now he wanted to completely satisfy his curiosity: "Why do you want to kill Hela? Just because Hela will become the goddess of death in every reincarnation of the nine worlds, so you
Do you want to follow your fate? Then what's the use of your ability to see the future? You just need to follow your fate."
Odin Crow shook his head: "No, this is very complicated... I can't explain it in a few words, but I always think about the entire Nine Realms."
"In most cases, 'I'm doing this for my own good' means that the person is going to do something bad that goes against the interests of the person."
Zhang Zicheng joked.
Odin was speechless about this, but it seemed that he really didn't want to talk too much with Zhang Zicheng on this issue.
After being asked so many questions by Zhang Zicheng, Odin felt that he should have satisfied some of the other person's curiosity, and finally started the purpose of his trip.
Since he couldn't see the future, Odin was very unaccustomed and didn't know what the most perfect route was. So he simply asked directly: "So, when will you leave?"
Zhang Zicheng said he would drive me away right now?
He sensed the distance between the pocket space and himself, and it had reached the point where he could reach it in half a day if he sprinted with all his strength, so he was not afraid of offending others with his tone.
Zhang Zicheng shrugged and said: "I'm sorry, I think the scenery here is good, and I want to see more. Just think of me as a passer-by. I will not participate in your so-called Ragnarok. I will settle down when I have enough time.
Leave quietly."
The crow's empty eyes looked at Zhang Zicheng, and his tone changed from casual and casual to implicitly serious: "I'm very sorry, but Ragnarok is a major event with a wide impact. I'm not worried that you will stop it from coming.
Nothing can stop it, that is the direction of fate, just like no one can stop the flow of time."
"What I'm worried about is... that you are also involved in Ragnarok."
Zhang Zicheng was stunned and thought to himself, what the hell are you talking about.
When did Odin, the majestic and decisive god-king, become a holy mother? Are you still worried about the safety of an outsider like me?
Oh, now it’s not Odin the God King, but Odin the Prophet.
But Odin's attitude was indeed very serious, not like a joke, and he also gave what he was really worried about.
"Once you are involved in the Ragnarok ritual, I worry that after a new reincarnation occurs, you will also be included in the reincarnation and become the new fate and nourishment of Ragnarok."
Zhang Zicheng nodded, and then he realized that he had made a mistake. He didn't care about him. He clearly regarded himself as rat shit and was afraid of ruining the pot of porridge he carefully cooked.
Ragnarok is a ritual that resets the entire nine realms and enters a new reincarnation. If you accidentally participate in it, and a new reincarnation is born, oh well, you will become one of the characters, such as Odin and Loki.
The same, performing similar dramas over and over again.
But, Ragnarok ritual?
Zhang Zicheng thought thoughtfully, it seems that in this world, the real source of power of the Nordic gods is the ubiquitous rituals.
While he was thinking, he asked casually: "Do you still need nourishment in Ragnarok?"
Odin nodded. He didn't care much about Ragnarok. Because he believed in the unstoppable nature of this ritual, there was nothing he couldn't say.
"Stagnation will bring about decay, even for gods. Nothing that takes time to prove its existence is eternal."
Odin said calmly, Zhang Zicheng was slightly startled when he heard this.
Nothing that takes time to prove its existence is eternal...
It does sound reasonable. If a thing changes from a "living creature" to a solidified statue just because time stands still, then obviously it cannot be believed that the other party has the power to transcend time.
"Therefore, in order to live forever, we have to use the Ragnarok ritual to sacrifice our stagnant and decaying power every time to regain life."
Odin's words became solemn and solemn, and the body of the crow he transformed into gradually expanded, slowly turning into a dark abscess on the seabed.
"However, Ragnarok itself cannot be stagnant... Every reincarnation of it must imply new changes. We have only changed our destiny from a straight line to a spiral, but the destiny itself cannot completely overlap, otherwise it will be nothing more than
It’s just a bigger pool of stagnant water.”
The abscess on the sea floor continuously flows out of black water, gradually forming the silhouette of Odin.
Finally, the black water subsided, and the blindfolded, skinny old man appeared in front of Zhang Zicheng again.
It's just that there is a scar that looks like a burn on his chest.
Odin noticed Zhang Zicheng's eyes, stretched out his dry hand to touch his scar, and said casually: "It will take about four or five years to heal, and I just treated it briefly. After all, the wound is quite deep, I
Now the whole inside of the chest is almost completely a pile of char."
Zhang Zicheng looked at Odin and his attitude finally became serious: "So, you want me to leave before Ragnarok happens?"
"Then what if after Ragnarok, at the beginning of the new life of your entire world, you come back and pretend to be the gods who created your entire world? What about plundering your mortal beliefs?"
Of course Zhang Zicheng had no intention of doing this. He was just curious and wanted to know how Odin would respond to this kind of behavior.
Odin looked in the direction of Zhang Zicheng and smiled: "Lies cannot deceive everyone all the time..."
————
Odin was very polite and wanted to ask Zhang Zicheng to leave.
He and Zhang Zicheng chatted so much and answered so many questions, with only one purpose: We really have nothing to be curious about, you can go explore elsewhere.
If it were before, from the time when Zhang Zicheng first came to this world to the time when Zhang Zicheng condensed the golden elixir in Iceland, Zhang Zicheng would have been so polite and embarrassed to make things difficult for the other party.
But...
Ragnarok can restart the entire nine realms.
Such powerful power actually comes from rituals.
At this time, what effect will the Ouroboros ritual written by Loki on Jörmungandr achieve in the end?
Zhang Zicheng cannot cultivate the mysterious spiritual power. Zhang Zicheng can only explore the low-dimensional cultivation techniques slowly by himself, one step at a time.
Now, I have understood everything, and the final step is to perform the Ouroboros Ceremony, which may be the most powerful help I can get in a long time.
Zhang Zicheng thought for a moment, smiled at Odin and said: "Okay, I will finally satisfy my little curiosity and leave your world immediately."
Odin asked curiously: "What do you want to know?"
He didn't expect that he could really persuade a powerful alien god through conversation.
The other party's power can directly block his own Vision Eye and severely damage himself in the distant future. This is the reason why Odin has always had a good attitude.
Therefore, Odin's attitude is essentially no different from that of Takemoto Saori and others. They were all convinced after being beaten.
But for Zhang Zicheng, he had no experience fighting Odin and skipped this step directly. On the contrary, he felt that the old man was particularly polite.
Zhang Zicheng looked to the west and said casually: "That God of Death was the first individual I came into contact with after entering this world. And when I was removing the plague from a certain city, I encountered his obstruction... I have sensed him.
Where is his true body, so I want to teach him a lesson, that’s all.”
