Lu Xiao always felt that the world mission completion standards released by the previous system were a bit vague, and he speculated that there should be more to the system.
As expected.
'Odin's special attention... is not surprising.'
The Valkyries were corrupted by Odin himself, in order to make them completely corrupt and completely obey his orders.
Lu Xiao interfered with Odin's plot, so it was only natural that the cautious Nordic God-King would keep an eye on him.
This is not counting Lu Xiao's killing of Manny and Modi. If Odin knew the truth, he would probably immediately release Asgard's final weapon Thor and throw it into Midgard.
The content of world task two is simple and clear. This task will not be judged as completed by the system until you completely escape the pursuit of Asgard.
"It's troublesome..."
Mimir asked in confusion: "What's the trouble? Gaining power?"
"Of course that is troublesome. So far, no pure mortal practice has confirmed this theory. I hope you will be the first."
Lu Xiao rolled his eyes: "It's easy to say. How to understand power so easily is not the privilege of a few gods."
Lu Xiao's space and time spells are all just short of the final kick, but this kick is precisely the most difficult one to take because it separates the boundary between mortals and gods.
'Let's take a long-term view. Now that the world mission has been updated, I should further prepare for the next development.'
…
Kratos and Atreus experienced many hardships and dangers after falling into the underworld. The two father and son gradually got to know each other during the long journey. Kratos, who had always been taciturn, finally became more talkative and softened his attitude in front of his son.
few.
Of course, this is only relative to outsiders.
After falling into Helheim, with the harsh environment as an inducement, Atreus almost fell ill and was in a very bad state.
At this juncture, Kratos was disturbed by the sudden appearance of Zeus's vision, and all his movements stopped.
This is the dark past that he least wants Atreus to know. He doesn't want his son to know that he killed his father with his own hands.
Fortunately, Atreus was not confused by the illusion. He awakened the sluggish Kratos, and the two finally escaped from Helheim smoothly.
The father and son returned to the Temple of Tire at a strange angle, as the hot-air balloon "ship" they were riding in crashed into the upper level of the temple.
"boom!"
Lu Xiao is studying Tire's collection in the cellar. These specialties from all over the world have many local characteristics.
That ancient coin from China has a special energy attached to it. It is not like the divine power used by the Valkyrie and the Son of Thunder God, nor the mana, spiritual power and magic power used by mortals.
‘Is this the magical aura unique to the East?’
The impact from the upper level of the Tire Temple aroused the idea of Lu Xiao and others.
The Valkyries headed by Sigurune were still trying to adapt to their new bodies. Lu Xiao took Yongzhen, Tamamozen and Fenrir to the collision site to check the situation.
When he saw the outer wall of the temple that was broken by Kratos, Lu Xiao helplessly held his forehead: "Brother, do you have to make such a big noise every time you appear?"
Kratos made a rare complaint: "This is not something I can decide."
"Okay, anyway, you finally came back successfully."
"Where's the portal in Jotunheim?"
Kratos shook his head: "It collapsed, we can only find another way."
Mimir spoke up at the right time: "Look what we found. This room hidden on the upper floor of the temple is Odin's secret chamber!"
…
There are many secrets hidden in Odin's Chamber, most of which have nothing to do with the purposes of Lu Xiao and Kratos.
During the previous exploration of the second cellar, Lu Xiao and his party discovered a triptych with the characteristics of a giant, and the middle part was torn out by someone.
Entering Odin's chamber, this question is finally answered.
Mimir looked at this seemingly ordinary mural in confusion: "Odin, why did he remove part of Tyr's mural?"
Kratos focused all his attention on the symbol in the upper right corner of the mural. Lu Xiao also recognized this Ω-like symbol, which represented Sparta.
Lu Xiao only recognized three of the symbols in the four corners of the mural. The upper right corner is Sparta, the upper left corner is the Eye of Horus representing Egypt, and the lower left corner is suspected to represent the three magatama from Japanese mythology.
As for the symbol composed of three curled leaves on the lower right, Lu Xiao didn't recognize it. Maybe it represented Celtic mythology? Or Indian mythology?
Lu Xiao noticed that Tyr's eyes on the mural were made of gems like Mimir. According to Mimir, they were a gift from the giant to him and Tyr, the crystallization of the Rainbow Bridge.
With these eyes, Tyr and Mimir can travel freely between the nine realms without using the Rainbow Bridge Stone.
"Wait, let me take a closer look at the mural."
Lu Xiao followed Mimir's request and raised his head in front of the mural.
After Mimir's one eye emitted a special light, some changes occurred in the details of the mural.
A black stone appeared above Tire's extended left hand, and a door symbol also appeared on the left side of the mural. The portrait representing Tire stood in the center of the door, seeming to be heading somewhere through this door.
Lu Xiao touched his chin as he was thinking: "I probably know what the information hidden by Tier means."
"What a coincidence, I understand it too."
Mimir spoke faster and said: "Tyr, this old fox, hides the secrets of his travels to various worlds in this mural."
"No wonder Odin took the mural away alone and hid it in the secret room. He already knew that Tyr was hiding something."
Mimir complained with some gloating: "It is a pity that Odin, who claims to be smart, does not have the special eyes that Tyr and I have, and cannot discover the real information hidden by Tyr."
Lu Xiao said to Atreus, who was very good at painting: "Atreus, copy the runes engraved on Tyr's shield, and let's go find Brok to make it."
"This is the shape of the key that opens Tyr's chamber."
…
"What the hell? You want me to build this boring little thing?"
Brock waved his hand dissatisfied: "If it's armor and weapons, I can help you build them without hesitation, but this thing is not my area of expertise."
Atreus drooped his shoulders in disappointment: "Brock, please help, this key is very important to us."
Brock spread his hands helplessly: "Little guy, it's not that I don't help, it's that I really don't..."
"What if I came to help too?"
A weak voice came from behind the group of people, and Lu Xiao had a smile on his face.
"Cinderi!"
Atreus shouted in surprise: "Are you finally willing to come see your brother?"
"Uh~"
Sindri was a little embarrassed: "Sorry, we will discuss this issue later."
"I heard your conversation. With my help, Brock should be able to build this key."
Brock looked at Sindri with somewhat complicated eyes, mostly with joy.
"Ahem~ Then stop talking nonsense and come here to help me. The guests' requests come first."
A shy and nostalgic smile appeared on Sindri's face: "No problem, brother."
