Survival in the game world begins with Biochemical 2

Chapter 799 Prison
What was originally peaceful... well, Gladsheim wasn't exactly peaceful to begin with, but today it was incredibly noisy, with ear-piercing roars echoing through the sky.

Near the large wooden hut built by Odin himself, the echoes of battle continued.

Asgard hadn't seen such a commotion in a long time. If it were the residents of an ordinary village, they would definitely run away at the first sign of such a noise. However, the inhabitants of Gladesheim were not ordinary people, so they gathered one by one to watch the loud noise coming from the source.

If you only hear the sounds, you might think it's a fierce clash, but when the residents arrive, the scene they see is completely different.

At this moment, in the open space in front of the large wooden house, Li You and Youzi were attacking Heimdall from both sides, with explosions and knocking sounds ringing out incessantly.

However, even when facing the combined attack of "Li You" and Youzi, Heimdall remained calm and composed, handling the situation with ease, without even drawing the longsword hanging at his waist.

He turned his feet slightly, taking two steps at varying speeds, his movements seemingly casual, yet he always managed to dodge Li You and Youzi's attacks at the last moment with perfect precision.

Li You and Youzi worked together extremely well. Even without Aiji's mental link assistance, the two acted as a single unit.

As they moved, their attacks intertwined and linked together. Although neither unleashed their full power, the continuous and overlapping attacks were enough to threaten a "god." Even Thor, if present, could not ignore their combined assault, let alone other Aesir gods who were inferior to Thor.

However, Heimdall is not included in this list.

As mentioned before, Heimdall possesses eyes that can "see into people's hearts," allowing him to perceive the mental landscape of others, which is almost equivalent to mind reading.

With this ability, he had a guarantee of being invincible in battle.

No enemy could stand before him and launch an attack without thinking. As soon as his mind wavered, Heimdall could see the changes in the scene and then respond accordingly.

Of course, this ability must also be linked to his own abilities. If he doesn't have enough skills to support it, then seeing through people's hearts is useless.

However, it is clear that Heimdall is not weak in this area, or rather, his combat skills are the most exquisite among the local gods that Li You has seen in Norse mythology so far.

With divine power as a foundation, combat skills as support, and core insight abilities, even with Li You and Yuzu working together, they still couldn't touch Heimdall's clothes.

The two attacked one after another, but Heimdall simply dodged left and right, occasionally striking to deflect their attacks and create more room for maneuver.

His face was full of ease and disdain, while he kept provoking, "Is that all? Your strength doesn't match your boasting!"

Li You remained silent and continued his attack. Youzi showed no emotion, but the two still couldn't touch Heimdall.

"I can hardly believe it, you're the one who defeated Badr?"

Heimdall's verbal humiliation continued, "Either you used some dirty tricks, or that idiot Badr is no good anymore and actually got defeated by you!"

With a "bang," he slapped away Li You's flaming spear with his palm, then dodged Youzi's swinging axe, and with a push of his palm, knocked both of them back at the same time.

Li You and Youzi each took a few steps back. Youzi held her large axe on guard, while Li You raised his eyebrows: "Is this Heimdall's ability to see through people's hearts? Interesting."

"Interesting? Ha. You can keep your mouth shut, but you can't touch me."

Heimdall sneered when he heard Li You's words, "Before, your mind seemed shrouded in a fog. I thought you would be different, but when it came to actually making a move, you couldn't hide your thoughts at all. How boring."

"If you have no other means, then I advise you to surrender. The Father of the Gods needs you to live. I will not kill you, but will only send you to prison."

"If you're smart enough, you should start trying to please me now, so that I won you over and give you special treatment."

"...I had long heard that the guardians of the Rainbow Bridge possessed unparalleled insight, and they certainly lived up to their reputation."

Li You remained calm, simply stating the words with a smile on his face.

"If I don't use my trump card, then I really can't do anything to you, but I'm not here to make enemies, so I can only stop here."

Heimdall was taken aback: "Stop when you've got a point? Are you kidding me? What makes you think I'd stop when I've got a point?"

Li You shook his head: "What I meant was, I want to stop here."

Heimdall hadn't figured out what Li You meant when he suddenly felt a gust of wind. This time, Li You didn't join forces with Youzi to surround them, but charged forward alone!

Not only that, his speed and strength have also increased dramatically!

In Heimdall's eyes, two illusory pairs of dragon wings appeared behind Li You.

Heimdall was slightly surprised by Li You's sudden burst of power, but even in his half-dragon form, there was still a gap between Li You's and Heimdall's stats.

Heimdall reacted instantly and continued to look at Li You's mental landscape!
"So what can you do about it!"

Faced with Li You's sudden burst of speed and the spiral spear thrusting towards him with incredible speed, Heimdall simply dodged and swept away all the fierce, rain-like thrusts.

"You think you can avoid my eyes by speeding up? How ridiculous... Ugh!?"

Heimdall was still mocking Li You while observing his inner thoughts and using this to predict his moves.

However, the next moment, just as Li You had exhausted his attack and was about to withdraw his move, Heimdall, who had been watching Li You's mental landscape, suddenly froze!
At that very moment, Li You's inner vision suddenly changed drastically. A thick silver mist enveloped everything, and he could no longer see anything!

"...!? How can this be..."

The exclamation remained unspoken in Heimdall's mind, yet even so, the moment the thought crossed his mind, he felt a sharp gust of wind rushing towards him!
Li You's spear pierced straight for Heimdall's forehead!
At that moment, Heimdall burst into full speed, his head snapping around in an instant, dodging Li You's spear at the most dangerous distance!

"bass--"

The gun trembled, emitting a buzzing echo, and Li You raised an eyebrow, sensing something.

That force just now was... a force related to time!
Li You, who had experienced the time-related permissions through the system more than once, was very familiar with this fluctuation.

That's one of Heimdall's strongest abilities: Nation Movement!
This skill can also be mastered in the game through amulets. By using the amulet that allows you to travel between kingdoms briefly with the help of the World Tree, you can take advantage of the different time flow rates in different kingdoms to speed up your own speed or slow down your opponent's speed.

It sounds complicated, but in reality, this ability can activate a brief time-slow state, making everyone else appear to be in slow mode.

In the game, this is also a very useful ability, and Heimdall, as the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge, is even more adept at using this ability.

This isn't even his trump card; it's just his instinct.

However, the fact that he had used this ability was enough to prove that Li You's shot just now was completely unexpected and made him feel threatened.

Heimdall dodged Li You's attack in an instant, his eyebrows furrowed, his face filled with surprise and anger. Just as he was about to speak, a "bang" was heard. Li You did not put away his gun, but instead held it horizontally and smashed the other end of the grip into Heimdall's face.

After a muffled thud, Heimdall took two steps back.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Everyone, including Heimdall himself, stared in disbelief at and touched the wound, or rather, the shallow bruise, on his face.

Because it was a gun barrel strike, Heimdall's skin wasn't broken; he only had a dark mark on his face, which was fading away quickly.

However, both the onlookers and he himself wore expressions of utter disbelief.

Heimdall raised his hand, pressing it lightly against the wound on his face, his eyes wide: "You... hurt me!" Li You put away his gun and smiled: "Is that so difficult? You can read minds. As long as I suppress my inner thoughts, I can make it impossible for you to see through my attack, even if I can only do it for a moment."

“That’s impossible!” Heimdall exclaimed.

The mental landscape is completely different from the superficial thoughts and ideas of consciousness; it cannot be concealed simply by trying to hide it.

The problem is, Heimdall didn't see anything during Li You's two attacks—Li You's mind was filled with a vast expanse of silver mist.

Looking at it again now, it's clear once more.

"It's just that you can't do it. The world is so big, I've been to too many countries you can't even imagine, and learned skills you can't understand," Li You simply said.

As he spoke, as if he knew Heimdall was watching him, the image in his mind vanished again, shrouded in mist.

Although he still couldn't understand the principle, Heimdall realized that Li You could indeed temporarily hide his inner vision.

In that instant, his eyes became extremely dangerous, and his entire being exuded an aura completely different from before.

"...Oh? What, are you planning to kill me to silence me?" Li You was not afraid at all.

He can indeed conceal his mental landscape. Although this concept is relatively unfamiliar to him, he is currently operating with the body of the bionic teardrop. When necessary, he only needs to activate the bionic teardrop's ability to cover his thoughts, and he can completely ignore Heimdall's mind-reading. There is no time limit for this operation.

As for why it wasn't used in the first place, and why it could only be done occasionally, well, that was obviously to mess with Heimdall!
Now is not the time to completely break ties with Asgard; Li You wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal all his cards.

As for what would happen if Heimdall got impulsive? Li You wasn't worried, because someone would intervene.

Sure enough, the next moment, just as Heimdall, whose expression had completely changed, was about to stride forward, a bolt of lightning struck down with a loud "boom," and Thor's tall figure landed in front of Li You.

His fur cloak billowed behind him, lightning crackled in his hand, and his entire being radiated a divine power that shook the heavens and the earth!
However, he was facing away from Li You and towards Heimdall.

“…That’s enough.” Thor looked at Heimdall. “The Allfathers need him to live.”

The name Odin quickly calmed Heimdall down. He was a fanatical follower of the Allfather, and everything revolved around Odin; he would never disobey Odin's orders.

He will certainly have opinions and argue with Odin, but he will never do anything against Odin's will unless Odin agrees.

So at this moment, he stared at Li You with that dangerous look for a long time before letting out a long breath, taking a few steps back, and standing aside.

Thor finally turned around and looked at Li You.

“...You’re causing trouble in Asgard,” he said.

“I’m not causing trouble. I’ve already said I came at Odin’s invitation, not as your prisoner,” Li You said. “If someone hurls insults at me, of course I won’t tolerate it—aren’t all you Aesir gods like that?”

“The Aesir are the Aesir, they are not like you,” Thor said.

Li You: 6.

This is a blatant, undisguised, and self-righteous double standard.

However, the Asgardian race of the new God of War is indeed like this, and Li You is not surprised.

Seeing that Li You did not reply, Thor continued, "Originally you were indeed a guest of the Allfather, not a prisoner, but that ends here."

“You’ve caused trouble and injured people here. Now that the Father of Gods is not here, I will make the decision—I will send you to prison until the Father of Gods returns.”

But Thor, raising his hammer again, added, "Of course, you can protest. As long as you can defeat my Mjolnir, you'll still be our most honored guest—you two can come at me together."

Li You glanced at him, then at the lightning-streaked Mjolnir, and didn't reply for a moment.

Everyone was waiting for his decision, and it was clear to everyone that Li You would not listen.

Even Thor himself was paying attention to Li You's answer. Then he saw Li You raise the corners of his mouth and reveal a long-unseen Dragon King smile. Then he said in a strong voice, "I choose to go to prison."

Everyone: "..."

Sol: "..."

Heimdall: "..."

If you're not afraid to hit me, what are you pretending for?

Li You, however, had his own ideas.

He had just fought Heimdall, and although the cost wasn't high, he was still injured. While the Imitation Tear could perfectly replicate Li You's overly mysterious abilities, he couldn't use the system's functions.

Therefore, in terms of combat strength, especially endurance, it is much worse than his own.

Now is not the time to fight Thor. Otherwise, if we expend too much energy and the bionic teardrop can no longer maintain its mimicry, things will get really messy.

Moreover, Li You originally intended to go to prison. His fight with Heimdall was twofold: first, to provoke trouble and complete his mission, and second, to show him that he was indeed dangerous and that ordinary prisons could not hold him.

Odin did instruct Li You to be sent to "that" prison, but just in case, Li You decided to take extra precautions.

It now appears that the objective has been achieved.

Thor stared at Li You for a long time, seemingly trying to see through his smiling face to understand what he was planning, but in the end he shook his head.

Thinking about such complex matters was too much trouble for Saul.

So he simply summoned a few pale-skinned soldiers—Odin's heroic warriors—to clear the way, while he himself led Li You to "that" prison.

A moment later, Li You was locked up with Youzi in one of the cells of that prison, which was shaped like a square tower with an unknown number of floors.

Thor left behind the heroic warriors to guard the area and then departed.

The heroic warriors sized up Li You with strange and mocking expressions, seemingly eager to see some fear on his face.

However, after they stared at him for a long time, Li You's expression did not change at all. Or rather, after noticing their gaze, Li You even gave them a very sunny smile.

The heroic warriors looked at him with a mixture of confusion and dissatisfaction, and finally dispersed, grumbling and cursing.

As for Li You? His smile was indeed genuine—this was the prison he had envisioned.

At this moment, a portion of Li You's teardrop-like body had already split off and, without anyone noticing, penetrated the prison floors and spread downwards.

The fact that he got in so easily really surprised Li You.

If he could still see Thor at this moment, he would definitely go up to the god of thunder and sincerely say:
"Thank you!"
