Odin's throne is very spacious, and the whole body is made of gold, as if it is integrated with the golden palace.
But throughout the ages, no matter what country, thrones are almost always made of solid material.
If there is a backrest, there is no seat cushion. If there is a seat cushion, the backrest cannot be reached. If there is both, the armrests cannot be touched.
In short, this kind of thing exists just to make the king uncomfortable.
It is said that this is to make people prepare for danger in times of peace and handle state affairs seriously.
So when they see others sitting on the throne, some people will be very envious, but once they sit on it, they feel uncomfortable at all.
Just like governing a country, it looks easy but is difficult to do.
Loki was like this. He felt that Asgard was singing and dancing, and that being a king was very comfortable. But when he actually sat on the throne, Asgard's old debts made even a smart man like him irritated.
Not everyone can be a qualified king, and Su Ming knew clearly that he was not.
He doesn't like complicated things, nor does he like to be tied to the throne. In contrast, he prefers to use the existing social system to build small groups hidden in the dark.
Odin's brother is an unqualified king.
The serpent was once more powerful and ruthless than Odin. Wherever his destructive front pointed, it would be razed to the ground.
If Odin waged war in his early years for the purpose of domination and enslavement, then the purpose of Orochi's war was much simpler.
That is to destroy everything.
He is the god of fear and collects the emotions of fear as energy to make him more powerful.
The serpent can be said to be crazy, the kind of calm madness. He destroys everything he sees in order to avoid the fulfillment of the prophecy of Ragnarok.
If the prophesied enemies could be eliminated in advance, wouldn't everything be safe?
But Ragnarok is not an ordinary prophecy. It was engraved in the rules of the world at the beginning of its creation.
The reincarnation of gods and life is the basis for the operation of the world.
The big snake failed to kill any future enemies, but his attacks turned many strangers into mortal enemies.
From another perspective, he also contributed to the fulfillment of the prophecy. After all, he himself and those enemies were all part of the prophecy.
It's like carrying the millstone of fate on your back and looking everywhere for a way to break it. In the end, you didn't find the method, only the other side of the millstone.
At that time, Odin worshiped the Orochi very much. He was brave, good at fighting, and fearless. The Orochi itself was a model of the Aesir warriors.
However, as time went by, none of the goals in his heart were achieved. The snake's mentality became more and more urgent, and his methods became more and more cruel.
He will wipe out the babies of other races, or completely destroy a world.
In Odin's opinion, this was all unnecessary cruelty, and he thought the snake might be sick.
So he sought answers from the World Tree, hoping to cure his brother's illness. The World Tree blew up the breeze and gave him a prophecy.
'The son of Odin will fight the serpent and kill the serpent, but the son of Odin will also fall to the ground and die after taking nine steps.'
There is no cure for the Orochi. His madness and killing cannot be stopped at all. Destruction of the world is his destiny, and the only way to stop it is death.
This is destiny, and the serpent cannot be killed until it fulfills its destiny.
Odin was not married at the time and had no children. He turned a deaf ear to the words of the World Tree.
But Orochi didn't see it that way. He heard that Odin wanted to 'cure' himself?
He doesn't have any disease, so what does healing mean? His brother must be trying to betray him.
So Orochi and Odin had a great battle, which soon developed into a civil war among the Asirs.
Unexpectedly, more people chose to help Odin.
Because Orochi led the Asgardians to constantly break through the lower limit, slaughtering unarmed people, destroying other people's homes, and torturing the enemy. This is not an act of honor.
Without glory, Asgardians have no purpose in life, so the troops rebel and help Odin finally win.
Odin was supported by the people and the army, as if he was wearing a yellow robe and was forced onto the throne.
He actually didn't want this, he just wanted to cure his brother.
But after the defeat, Orochi looked at Odin with outright hatred, and they could never look back.
Odin is not an ordinary person. He knows that things have reached this point and there will be no turning back, so he just doesn't stop and kills his brother.
However, just as the prophecy said, only the son of Odin can perish together with the serpent.
No matter it is the eternal spear, the sword left by Baoer, or any means that Odin can think of, they can't kill the serpent.
Even though he was cut to death by these weapons, the big snake just couldn't die.
Odin had no choice but to imprison the serpent in the deepest part of the Mariana Trench on Earth, use a seal, and then collect all the poisonous sea dragons he could find to serve as guards there.
Then as time passed, Odin's wisdom grew, and Thor became his only biological son. He knew that the prophecy would be fulfilled in Thor.
But he was reluctant to let Thor face the serpent, so the matter was delayed.
The big snake should still be imprisoned at the bottom of the sea, cursing Odin every day.
The clues have been connected, and the appearance of Hydra here seems to be a sign. Is it possible that the one leading the Hydra troops is the daughter of the Red Skull?
Breaking the seal of the serpent requires a warhammer, the warhammer 'Steele' of the Goddess of Winter. That magic weapon has been kept by Germany. The location where it crashed into the atrium is the North Pole.
Just like Thor's hammer, there is a condition for lifting it, that is, only those who have no hope in their hearts and are as cold as winter can lift it.
Both Mustache and Red Skull have tried, but neither of them can lift the weapon. They have great ambitions in their hearts, and they also have ideas for the future world, which are all hopes.
So Mustache ordered a building to be built on Hammer and sent trusted SS troops to garrison it.
In the comics, it was Red Skull's daughter Guilty who raised the weapon and released the serpent, triggering the major event "The Origin of Fear."
But that will happen a long time later. In any case, Su Ming plans to return to the earth and go to the North Pole to find out whether the Winter Hammer is still there.
This will take some time, and the first priority is to stop the war in Asgard.
He rubbed the armrest of the throne, and the cold metal gave him a very subtle feeling. He looked at the queen and queen under the royal steps, and asked
"Do you remember Orochi?"
"Orochi!" Frigga's eyes widened and she lost her usual composure.
"Big snake?" Gurweger was confused. She didn't seem to understand what she was talking about.
Frigga obviously remembered it, with a shocked expression on her face, "But Odin said that the serpent was dead and died suddenly on the throne. That was a long, long time ago."
Su Ming waved his hand and called Gin and Brünnhilde to come over. If they needed to face the big snake, they had to be mentally prepared.
"Obviously, Odin lied, because in the prophecy the serpent would die with Thor. He was reluctant to let go of his son, and he didn't want anyone to mention his attempt to kill his kin."
Frigga took a deep breath. She felt that the elements of Ragnarok were almost coming together. Except for the Wolf Winter, everything was gradually coming true. The characters in the prophecy were all in place. The fate of the gods
Stormy.
"What should we do?" Frigga was at a loss.
"I can deal with big snakes, but this is not a free business. After all, this is something that even Odin can't do. Is it a deal?" Su Ming took out a cigarette, lit it skillfully with a lighter, and swallowed the clouds with the face of Odin.
Breathe mist.
"Okay." Frigga did not hesitate.
"Very good, then you can use your magic to cure Heimdall now. Gullwig will lead your people to guard the Golden Palace and block all the doors. You don't need me to teach you, right?"
Su Ming flicked the ashes from his cigarette and began to assign tasks to the two women as a matter of course.
"Then what should we do?" Brunhilde asked eagerly. Although she didn't know who the enemy of Asgard was, she sounded very interested because he sounded very strong.
"You are free. You no longer have to serve the Immortal Palace. In exchange for my freedom, I need you to help me go to Sakaar and tell Gao Tianzun that Odin wants to make a bet with him."
Su Ming had a spear in one hand and a cigarette in the other, and seemed to be in a good mood.
Using someone else's identity, spending someone else's chips, and dragging the most gambling being in the universe to the gambling table shouldn't feel too wonderful.
Gao Tianzun is one of the elders of the universe. He has infinite life. This life is too boring. He changes his tricks to learn the knowledge of fun.
He has mastered almost all the game competition skills in the universe, and his favorite thing is betting. Odin's identity is enough to sit at the gambling table with him.
Gao Tianzun is not bad at all. He is immune to aging and all diseases, immune to physical attacks, and has strong regeneration capabilities.
His cosmic energy allows him to fly, control the minds of living things, shape or reorganize matter, and he also has the ability to jump through time and space.
Brünnhilde's emotions were indescribable. On the one hand, she had gained freedom, but on the other hand, she didn't know where to go after leaving Asgard.
Maybe if she goes to Sakaar, she won't come back.
But since Deathstroke asked for payment, she was willing to take the lead for him, and we would talk about the future matters later.
"What to bet on?"
"I bet his Arena Champion can't beat Mephisto."
Brünnhilde thought for a moment, "The current arena champion is a half-human, half-machine horse-headed man who is very powerful. Mephisto is not known for his combat prowess."
It turns out that the current champion is Bill, so that would be even better.
"I know, but I'm betting on this. If Gao Tianzun wins, the crown prince of Asgard, Thor Odinson, will be a gladiator for him in seventy-two years. If I win, then Gao Tianzun
In seventy-two years he will send his athletic champions to Asgard to serve as gladiators."
Su Ming told the bet, and he put Thor on the gambling table.
"Why seventy-two years later?"
Brünnhilde was a little confused. This number was not zero or even, as if it was said casually.
"Speaking of seventy-two, I will think of changes. In short, don't care about these details. I think Gao Tianzun will like this gamble full of unknowns."
Su Ming blew out a puff of smoke, leaned back slightly, and leaned on the back of the throne.
