Odin is now weak to the point of death, not only because he was severely injured in Ragnarok, but more importantly because he sat on the Iron Throne for a full twenty-three centuries after being seriously injured and did not recover from his injuries.
, instead, my physical strength and energy are constantly being drained by the starship shield.≯
The spacecraft shield itself is powered by the shipboard reactor, but since the spacecraft control system is offline, Odin cannot seize control, so he needs to input additional energy into the shield from the outside to control the entire defense system.
And this extra energy now almost killed him.
Even Odin himself probably never thought that one day he would sit on such a throne and almost pay the price with his life to protect those "vulgar, weak, and ignorant native creatures".
"Maintaining the shield is a very difficult task," Odin's voice echoed around, while his body was still sealed in the crystal. Under the reflection of the energy light flow, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a shimmer.
"But I feel that I should do something. Human beings have worshiped the 'gods' for thousands of years, and they are still loyal even after Ragnarok. However, the gods they worship are not much nobler than them... A sense of responsibility makes me sit here.
, and resisted the thought of giving up several times.”
"I have seen real gods," Vivian said directly what she was thinking, "You guys who can really manage the whole world have never been gods. They are far different. But to be honest, you are about to die here.
At that time, you finally did something that God should do."
"The purpose of our coming here is for this ship..." Hao Ren looked at the huge shadow under the Iron Throne, "But now it seems that before we can sail this ship away, we must first complete the settlement of the Twilight City.
Tsk...we need to hold an internal meeting."
Hao Ren already had a few vague ideas in his mind, but they were far from mature plans. He felt that he should call his two seniors over. Galadra and Anthony were in the position of prosecutor.
Having been doing this for thousands of years, they may have better suggestions.
At this moment, a burst of noise suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your friends have arrived," Odin said.
After a while, the main door of the hall was pushed open from the outside, and the caregiver Angelica and the light seeker Wendell walked in. Behind them, a large group of people poured in. Yzaks' big bald head was among the crowd.
The center was particularly shining. As soon as Lily entered the door, she happily rushed to Hao Ren and circled vigorously: "Landlord, landlord, landlord, landlord..."
Hao Ren took out a bone stick from his pocket and stuffed it into the husky girl's mouth: "What's going on? I'm so excited, as if I've taken the wrong medicine..."
"I was in high spirits just now," Y'zaks said with a smile, hugging his arms. "There's nothing going on up there anymore. It's said that some kind of envoy went to the Steam Council, and I don't know what they're busy with internally.
, Anyway, no one cares about it now, Galadra will take us down."
At this time, Lily had circled around Hao Ren for almost thirty times, and finally calmed down a little. While chewing on the bones, she curiously looked at the huge hole under the transparent floor: "What is this?"
Galadra came to the Iron Throne: "Is this the Ancient Saint of the Twilight City?"
Hao Ren smiled: "Let me explain to you..."
It didn't take long to briefly introduce the situation. Soon everyone understood the secrets of this twilight city. They couldn't help being surprised by the truth about the twilight barrier. At the same time, they were deeply impressed by the feats of "Old Saint" Odin.
Deeply shocked. Galadra and Antony checked around the Iron Throne, and then Antony began to arrange a simple magic circle next to the throne. His movements were dazzling, and almost in the blink of an eye, an array shimmering with light
The formula appeared in the air, and at the same time, dozens of light streams were connected to the pipes and cables around the throne.
Odin stared blankly. In fact, his expression didn't change at all, but it was more vivid. Looking at Anthony's actions, he knew that the strangers in front of him should be invited by Vivian for help, but he didn't
Know what Anthony is doing: "What is this?"
"I'll install a virtual machine for you," the old mage said as he dusted himself off. "Do you feel better now?"
Only then did Odin realize that those magic arrays he had never seen before had miraculously deflected the connection between the Iron Throne and the Twilight Barrier. The feeling of exhaustion and irritation that had not disappeared for twenty-three centuries had penetrated into his soul.
The pain also subsided unconsciously. This torture lasted for so long that Odin had completely adapted to their existence. When they suddenly disappeared, Odin's battered nerves did not even respond at all.
come over.
"What did you do..." The former King of the Nordic Gods was as surprised as an ordinary person seeing magic for the first time. "The energy of the twilight barrier is very terrifying. How could you use such a simple set of talismans?"
Wen...the rune that doesn't even have an entity, just give its energy to..."
"This energy is indeed terrifying, but the buffs our boss randomly adds to people after getting drunk are much scarier than this." Anthony stroked his beard proudly, "After deflecting the energy, your physical and soul conditions will not continue to deteriorate.
However, we can only maintain the status quo. We will use special medical equipment to restore your health. But now... you can leave this throne."
Odin: "..."
Anthony stroked his beard again: "Well, I said you can leave this throne."
Odin: "...I think..."
"Please don't worry," Anthony said with a steady and reliable smile on his face. Although he has many eccentricities, this old mage still shows his aura of being called the "Great Sage" at this moment to ensure that after you leave,
The light barrier can still operate stably, is there anything else you want to say?"
Odin was silent for a few seconds and finally said: "Come and lift me down."
Everyone: "..."
Hao Ren slapped him on the face at that time: "I mean, why do I always feel that something is wrong..."
Galadr looked at Odin's situation carefully and waved to Anthony: "Then let's not get him off here rashly. I found that his body has been connected with these pipes, cables and even this chair.
Once they grow together, you just need to cut off the connection between him and the twilight barrier. We can talk about the rest after we get the professional equipment in place."
"Then I have to forgive you for staying up here for a while longer," Hao Ren nodded to Odin, then turned to the others, "Then let's discuss how to deal with the problem of the Twilight City. The current barrier over the city
It relies on the spacecraft below to provide energy. For safety reasons, I suggest that the security issues in Twilight City be resolved first."
"Two plans," Galadra said without hesitation, "The first one is to evacuate everyone in the Twilight City. The current location of Yugudora Hill is in the Chadaner Civilization Circle. Anthony should be able to organize enough
The transportation capacity is transferred to these millions of people, but in this way, the city is equivalent to being abandoned. To be honest, this is a precious 'specimen of abnormally developed civilization', and it is a pity to let the magic storm destroy it. Chapter 1
The second option is to build another layer of shield outside the twilight barrier, and then start the exploration of the ancient starship. In this way, even if something goes wrong during the exploration and the twilight barrier is extinguished, there will be no big problem. However,
This solution also has disadvantages: building a city-scale shield is very labor-intensive."
Hao Ren waved his hand: "And there is a more important issue: Yggdrasil. We must choose the least stimulating plan for Yggdrasil, otherwise this ancient creature may wake up at any time. A creature like the eldest son,
Once you wake up, you can do anything."
Anthony spread his hands: "Whether it's a million-scale population transfer or the construction of another twilight barrier, I think it will be a certain stimulus to Yggdrasil. The key now is that we don't know the identity of this 'eldest son'
There is no clear quantitative indicator of what mental stability is, so who knows how much stimulation is safe?”
The three prosecutors on Hao Ren's side began a professional discussion, and each took out a data terminal to calculate the difficulty and time required to implement various plans. While they were discussing, Odin suddenly spoke: "
You mentioned...Yugudora Sil?"
"Yes, World Tree," Hao Ren said without raising his head, "Actually, your name is wrong. His scientific name should be 'Eldest Son', or 'Eldest Son of God'. This is a very powerful ancient tree.
Biology, he is currently in a deep sleep state, but we have sufficient evidence to indicate that his mental state is very unstable."
Odin thought for a while: "I have a suggestion, would you like to listen to it?" (To be continued.) 8
