It has been many years since Lu Xiao began to travel through various worlds. He only vaguely remembers the plot of God of War 4, and has almost forgotten the detailed development.
Lu Xiao originally thought that with Freya's hidden magic protection, Kui Ye and Atreus would not be easily discovered by the Asaph clan.
However, the enemies who were hiding in the dark and watching the development of the situation had predicted their purpose and arrived in front of the portal in advance to wait.
Since the last battle at home, Kratos has never seen Baldur again.
When Kratos opened the gate to Jotunheim under the instructions of Atreus, Baldur, who had been guarding nearby, suddenly jumped out and attacked Kratos severely.
Seeing that Baldur planned to capture Atreus, who had giant blood, and enter Jotunheim, Kui Ye, who was protecting the calf, finally regained some of the energy he had at his peak.
Turning on the Wrath of Sparta and enduring the pain, he started the second round of battle with Baldur. Kratos deliberately collapsed the structure of the portal and forcibly closed the passage to Jotunheim.
The goal was not successfully achieved, so Baldr had no choice but to do the next best thing, planning to capture Atreus back to Asgard and hand him over to Odin.
Of course, Kratos could not let Baldr capture his son, and a third round of fierce battle began on the back of Baldr's dragon.
The fight between the two harmed the poor dragon's mount. Kratos was knocked off the dragon's back and scratched its wings, resulting in a serious "crash" incident.
When Lu Xiao teleported from the cellar to the bridge, he happened to see Kratos holding the Guardian Shield left by Laufey in front of him, trying to cushion the damage of the fall.
The Wrath of Sparta is not omnipotent. Kratos has already suffered serious injuries in the previous battle with Baldur, and another collision like this is likely to aggravate the injury.
Lu Xiao calculated the trajectory of Kratos, who was falling rapidly, and accurately teleported him to the temple gate at the end of the bridge.
"Dude, it happened...hey!"
Before Lu Xiao could finish asking, Mr. Kui immediately took action again after seeing his surroundings clearly, and rushed into the national teleportation room under Lu Xiao's stunned gaze.
"wtf? Wait a moment..."
The familiar scene allowed Lu Xiao to retrieve some memories from the depths of his mind.
"This seems to be..."
When Lu Xiao and Brock looked at each other, something strange happened in the national teleportation room.
Before the teleportation bridge was in place, Kratos, who was entangled with Baldur again, forced the Keystone to activate the Rainbow Bridge.
The door to the national teleportation room also closed at this time. When everything settled and Lu Xiao and Brock reopened the door, the hall was already empty.
"What the hell..."
Brock was so shocked that he couldn't help but swear: "That muscular man raised by OO is really brave. He actually dared to activate the Rainbow Bridge before the target was locked. Isn't he afraid of being thrown into the turbulence of space?"
Lu Xiao ignored Brock, closed his eyes and felt the remaining spatial fluctuations in the country's teleportation room.
"Helheim?"
As the underworld in Norse mythology, Helheim is an out-and-out restricted area of life.
When Lu Xiao went to Helheim to defeat the Valkyrie, she only circled around the periphery, and was still a long way from the center of the underworld.
The three of Kratos were thrown into Helheim without any defense, and were probably sent all the way to the depths of the underworld by the Rainbow Bridge.
'Forget it, it's not the first time Kui has entered the underworld anyway, so he should be able to escape smoothly.'
…
Baldr was thrown into Helheim just to buy some time for Lu Xiao and others.
The reborn Valkyries are not yet perfectly synchronized with their new bodies. They need time for divine power to re-infiltrate their bodies and return to form as soon as possible.
During this process, Lu Xiao took advantage of the situation to make a personal request to Sigurun.
He wanted to know the nature of divine power.
"Divine power...how should I explain this?"
Sigruen was very brave during the battle, but her words were not sharp and she could not organize her words to explain clearly to Lu Xiao in a suitable way.
Mimir interrupted at this moment: "Brother, you should ask me this question."
"ha?"
Lu Xiao looked at Mimir in shock: "Aren't you a wise giant? How do you know the principles of divine power?"
Mimir: "In your words, I have never eaten pork, but at least I have seen pigs walking."
"I have worked for Odin for countless years. I come into contact with countless gods every day, and I have a clear understanding of the nature of their existence."
Lu Xiao didn't expect that he was looking for a lantern with a flashlight and went in a big circle.
"Okay, Mimir, I'd like to hear the details."
"Ahem~"
Mimir cleared his throat and began to talk about the origin of the gods with great interest.
"When it comes to gods, we have to start with Ymir..."
"stop!"
Lu Xiao rubbed his eyebrows with a headache: "You have already said this part, let's just get to the point."
"Really? Uh~ Okay, let's start over."
"The reason why gods are gods and can produce divine power that is fundamentally different from magic is because they are given special personalities by the rules of the world, usually called godheads."
"Children of gods possess godhead right after they are born, but not every god can sublimate their godhead and realize the power of god."
"For example, Thor and his two sons."
Mimir gave an example through Manny and Modi, whom Lu Xiao knew: "Although Thor is not very smart, his fighting talent is almost unmatched by anyone in Asgard."
"Thor awakened the power of lightning when he was still very young, so he was awarded the title of Thor by Odin."
"But his two stupid sons never realized the power until they died. Manny's title of Hercules is only because of his natural power and has nothing to do with power."
Sigurn added from the side: "Except for the leader Freya, no one in the Valkyrie can understand the power."
"In other words, most of the gods given titles by Odin have not actually obtained their own powers, but this does not affect our use of divine power through our innate godhead."
"If you ask me about the nature of divine power, I can't answer it, because it's just like a mortal using magic power, it's close to the body's instinct."
"Even if we change to a mortal body, as long as we are given enough time, it will not be a problem to return to the divine body at its peak."
Lu Xiao put his chin on his hand thoughtfully: "Godhead?"
"Mimir, godhood can only be conferred innately through parents?"
Mimir: "Most of it is like this, but not absolutely."
"If mortals can understand the power that only gods have, they can theoretically be recognized by the rules of the world and gain godhood."
"Of course, this is just a theoretical guess I put forward, and no one has ever realized it before."
'power……'
Lu Xiao raised his hands and looked at it as if he had some understanding, "Is this the real intention of the system in choosing this world?"
"warn."
Just when Lu Xiao began to think about the system's intentions, the system, which had been silent since entering the world, suddenly spoke up.
"Due to the change of the host's plot, which has attracted the special attention of Odin, the father of the gods, the world mission has been updated."
