Chapter 798 Stirring Up Trouble in Asgard

Odin's invitation and the instructions to go to Asgard clearly indicated that everything was extremely dangerous.

Asgard is Odin's stronghold. At this point in time, Thor, Heimdall, Baldr, and the others should all be in Gladesheim. None of them are people that Li You can defeat in a one-on-one fight without using his trump cards.

Moreover, there was Odin himself, who claimed to be the father of the gods but was actually the butcher who killed the true father of the gods.

Therefore, Li You certainly wouldn't rashly barge in like that.

But Asgard was sealed off by Odin, and without the help of his ravens, Li You couldn't reach that country.

Finally, Li You chose a clever method that, theoretically, could satisfy the system's conditions without being seen through by Odin.

That is to send the replica teardrop to Asgard in my place.

Under normal circumstances, the bionic teardrop cannot be too far from him; however, if Li You completely controls the bionic teardrop's body with his own consciousness, this limitation does not exist.

The ability of the teardrop-like body perfectly mimics the form, and when Li You autonomously controls this body, it is truly as if he has created a clone of himself.

Odin couldn't tell the difference, Heimdall couldn't tell the difference, and even the system acknowledged that Li You had arrived in Asgard—after all, the mission didn't specify how he would arrive.

Of course, the downside of having his own consciousness control the body of the emulated teardrop is that Li You's consciousness cannot perfectly control both bodies at the same time.

Therefore, the Li You body that remained was more like a puppet, slow to react, only becoming active when needed... such as during battle.

Releasing Aigi served two purposes: first, to help the main body continue searching for the rune matching disc fragments; and second, because Li You had never tried this operation before, it was a precautionary measure.

In retrospect, this step was the right one.

In fact, Li You was indeed a little nervous when Heimdall said "you're too clever for your own good" at the beginning, but fortunately, even he couldn't see through their true pretense.

However, he did notice something else.

—In Odin's study.

"The Father of the Gods, that man is very strange."

After Li left, Heimdall appeared before Odin. "They must have come to Asgard for the first time, yet this man seemed to know the way, and his mindset was completely different from the others."

"Although he was surprised when he first saw Gladesheim, it was a sense of bewilderment at returning to a familiar place where everything had changed, rather than the reaction of a normal person coming here. There must be something wrong with him."

Odin, engrossed in his books, finally looked at him and raised an eyebrow: "Is that so?"

Heimdall was very certain: "I am absolutely not mistaken. In addition, his mentality is very strange. When I tried to look into his heart, I felt like I saw a hazy silver mist. All his emotions and expressions were floating on the surface of the mist. I could not see the inner scene at all - it was the first time I had ever seen someone's emotions like this."

Odin pondered for a moment before saying, "Heimdall, your eyes can see the visions in other people's minds, which for most people is their entire world of thought."

"But ultimately, not everyone is like that. Some people are just more profound and harder to see through. Besides, what you can see is only the landscape of other people's minds; you can't truly see into their hearts."

"So don't overthink it. He's not the first person you can't see through, is he?"

So this is the truth behind Heimdall's "mind-reading" ability.

“But…” Heimdall frowned.

He wanted to say that it was different. Although he couldn't see through other people's minds—well, actually it was Odin's—that was because Odin's thoughts were as deep as the ocean, and Heimdall, out of respect, wouldn't use all his abilities to peer into Odin's mental landscape.

But Li You was different. No matter how Heimdall looked at him, his heart was shrouded in a silver mist. It didn't feel unfathomable; rather, it felt like an emptiness.

To be honest, Heimdall couldn't even tell whether he was seeing the mind of a living person or a stone with shallow thoughts.

However, he couldn't explain the differences to Odin.

Moreover, Odin was no longer interested in listening, and simply said, "Rest assured, this guest... certainly has his value, but he himself is more useful than the knowledge he can offer me."

"So Heimdall, listen up. Your task now is to keep an eye on this man. Since you suspect him, I'll allow you to probe him a little, even a bit too much."

“But under no circumstances should he be allowed to leave Gladesheim—before I return.”

Heimdall looked surprised: "Are you leaving, Allfather?"

Odin smiled mysteriously again: "Because of his appearance, I see an opportunity that I need to try."

"You don't need to ask any more questions. Just do what you're supposed to do."

With that, he waved his hand, signaling Heimdall to leave.

Although Heimdall still had reservations, obedience had become a habit for him, so he had no choice but to bow and step back.

"……correct."

However, Odin remembered something else. "If you find out that this man is plotting something, or that he is determined to leave Asgard, then seize him and put him in prison—Thor will help you. But you must never take his life."

Heimdall paused again, but his focus was elsewhere: "Do I really need help dealing with that guy?"

"Don't underestimate him. Although he may appear to have limited power, perhaps only at the level of a demigod, he comes from a distant land and possesses many strange and unheard-of techniques."

Odin said, "He broke Baldr's immortality, and he did indeed defeat Baldr head-on with the help of certain powers."

Heimdall frowned, but finally nodded: "So if he's to be imprisoned, which prison should he be in?"

Odin replied, "That one."

Heimdall looked up in surprise, only to be met with Odin's calm gaze.

He immediately understood Odin's plan and relaxed: "So you're planning to... I understand, I'll keep a close eye on him."

Odin nodded: "Very good, go."

Heimdall left the study, while Odin continued to immerse himself in the world of books.

However, even these two did not notice that in the gap between the templates beneath their feet, there was an extra shadow that had quietly listened to their entire conversation.

—That was the “eavesdropping device” that Li You transformed into using a body that resembled a teardrop.

Objectively speaking, regardless of why it was built this way, Odin's large wooden house was indeed simple and its structure was very basic.

This wooden house, built by Odin himself, has a banquet hall and guest rooms on the first floor, and Odin's study and the living quarters of his relatives on the basement floor.

Li Youren was in a guest room next to the banquet hall, in other words, right above Odin's study.

When Li Youyun was playing the game, he wondered if Odin was worried that people upstairs would disturb his reading if he built his study downstairs from the dining room.
It wasn't until he arrived in person that he discovered that although the place was simple, it was protected by multiple magical barriers, making his worries completely unnecessary. However, these barriers were only for isolating interference. Before leaving the study, Li You transformed into fragments of the wooden house using his teardrop-like form and disappeared beneath the floor.

The teardrop-like properties worked wonders once again; Odin and Heimdall were completely unaware, while Li You overheard their conversation.

Having successfully eavesdropped, Li You now had the strange feeling that he was playing as a Terminator T1000 account...

The consciousness returned to its original body—the original body in the wooden cabin guest room—Li You pondered for a moment.

As for that fragment, just leave it under the floor; there's no rush to retrieve it.

The dialogue between Odin and Heimdall highlights the character of a riddle-maker. If a player who only cares about the thrill of combat were to play, even after playing five installments, they probably wouldn't understand what the two of them are talking about.

Fortunately, Li You always pays attention to the plot, so even though it's a cloud game, he remembers the key points of the main storyline very clearly.

Based on this knowledge, it's not hard to guess what Odin really wants to do.

"...Ha, that old fox has a pretty good idea."

After Li You withdrew his attention, he thought for a moment and came up with an idea.

He smiled at Youzi and asked, "How are you feeling in this country? Are you doing well?"

Yuzu simply nodded.

The significance of Li You bringing only Yuzu to Asgard is that Yuzu has the most comprehensive abilities and can be used as a smokescreen.

Moreover, the clone of the teardrop is ultimately not as powerful as Li You's main body, which allows him to use as many trump cards as he does. Therefore, Yuzu's ultimate ability is also a trump card that Li You can rely on in Asgard.

Finally, no matter what happens, Li You's main body can immediately recall Youzi back to the companion space, so there's no need to worry about safety.

As for the bio-tear? Due to its inherent characteristics, Li You only needs to exhaust its power, or simply self-destruct, and the bio-tear will automatically return.

Therefore, Li You had no worries at all.

He originally came to Asgard mainly to complete a mission, but he also wanted to see why the system had sent him here.

Since arriving in the world of God of War, the system's missions have become very targeted and timely. Li You always felt that there was a core purpose hidden in each of these missions.

However, he has not yet grasped its essence, and therefore cannot guess the system's true objective.

After arriving in Asgard, the main quest 3-1 was skipped and completed, and subsequent updates were also made.

only……

[Main Quest 3-1: Travel to Asgard before Kratos arrives in Jotunheim (Completed).]

Main Quest 3-2: In Asgard, fight at least two major Aesir gods (0/2).

"So the system sent me here to cause trouble, didn't it?"

Li You was too lazy to even complain this time. After all, when the system sent him to Asgard, he had already guessed that this situation probably couldn't be resolved peacefully.

However, this also suited Li You's plans perfectly.

After listening to Odin and Baldr's conversation, Li You had already guessed the self-proclaimed father of the gods' plans, and he was also preparing to do something to turn the tables on them.

So at this moment, he waited quietly, and after confirming through the listening device left in the study that Odin had left swiftly, he stood up, patted Yuzu on the shoulder, and smiled:
"As long as you're in good shape! Let's go... wreak havoc!"

From the moment he entered the banquet hall of the large wooden house, Li You noticed that the residents eating and drinking were not looking at him with friendly eyes.

Their whispers often contained unpleasant remarks.

These people had a primitive lifestyle and a free-spirited personality, and they were not friendly to Li You, an outsider.

But it's just a coincidence; if the local people are honest, kind, and hospitable, then Li You won't have a good chance to make a move.

He stormed out with the pomelo in his hand and headed straight for the banquet table.

Upon returning to this floor, Heimdall saw Li You and Youzi emerge. His expression changed slightly, and he wanted to approach them.

But it was too late; Li You had already walked up to the male resident who was closest to him and whose expression was the most displeased with him.

This is the guy who kept spewing vulgarities when Li You first entered the room.

He knew Li You could hear him, and Heimdall also knew Li You could hear him, but neither of them showed any sign of restraint.

Li You had previously ignored them; he didn't have the time or inclination to settle scores with each of these kinds of people.

However, things are different now that Li You has come with a purpose.

"What are you looking at? You weakling." The man was unaware that something was wrong and wasn't afraid at all.

What kind of place is this? The great wooden house where the Father of the Gods lives! How dare he, an outsider, make a move...?

But then, to the astonishment of those around him, Li You first grinned at the man, then grabbed the wine glass on the table and slapped it across the man's face!

"Crack—!!"

The wooden cup shattered, and the mead spilled. The man should have been furious, but Li You's attack was swift and ruthless, knocking him to the ground, unable to get up again.

Heimdall's expression changed: "What are you doing!"

Li You looked at him, his smile widening: "I've heard that the people of Asgard are simple and honest, and they would rather fight than argue, so this is perfect."

"I may seem to have a good temper, but I'm actually very vengeful. So come on, let's have a go and see what you're capable of."

Heimdall was so angry he laughed: "Do you even know where you are, or whose territory you're on?"

Li You, however, didn't care about such things: "I came to Asgard at Odin's invitation, not as your prisoner. If Odin is unhappy, I can simply go back to Midgard!"

Upon hearing this, Heimdall's anger vanished, and he narrowed his eyes.

After staring at Li You for a while with his eyes flashing with a purplish-red light, he spoke in a cold voice:
“You’re even more stupid than I thought… You’re not going anywhere. You hurt our people, so you’ll end up in Asgardian prisons! I’ll send you there myself!”

Li You scoffed, "Are you sure you can do it?"

Heimdall laughed, a smile laced with danger: "You'll see when you try."
