Old days in the box

Chapter 488 Angel, Comes Upon Smelling the Smell
"You are so funny. Among all our brothers, you are the only one who has never visited Asgard. It's a pity." Hodel raised one hand and continued to speak to Tyin gently.

What happened between him and Balder happened a long time ago, so he certainly didn't know that Tyin had already ascended to Valhalla and even discovered Odin's secret with his own eyes.

"Stop talking nonsense. What do you want?" Tai interrupted him because he was tired of this topic.

"Excuse me for being rude, but I think I should be the one asking this question. Helheim is the natural place for all the dead. Why did you set foot here?"

Tyin's hand on the hilt of the sword was a little restless. This series of questions made the war maniac very impatient, but he remembered the instructions he had just given him, so he had to let go of his hand:

"I came here at the command of my Lord in the Old Days to find the whereabouts of the Goddess of Death."

"Old Days? It turns out that you serve the Lord of Terror. How surprising." Hodel raised his head with some concern, as if his eyes could penetrate through the black cloth covering his eyes.

"Have you heard of the name of our Lord?"

"The reputation of the Lord of Terror spreads far and wide across the starry sky. He is an Outer God sleeping in the courtyard, in control of all the power of disasters. Even though I am in this land of the dead, I can occasionally hear legends about him from the words of the living."

This Hodel's choice of words was very subtle. He deliberately avoided those statements that were very unfriendly to the Old Ones, and only referred to them as Outer Gods and Great Powers, which made Tain even more unable to guess His intentions.

"Since you know the name of my Lord, let's get straight to the point." Taiyin waved his hand again to interrupt Him.

"I know that a war of faith is going on here, but I have no intention of interfering with either of you. I am only here to follow orders. I will naturally leave after the matter is over. But on the other hand, if anyone wants to obstruct me, I will definitely not let her go easily."

The four legions, full of fighting spirit, simultaneously issued intimidating sounds behind Tyin to show that they were not to be trifled with, but Hodel and his venerables remained calm and composed, unmoved.

"The path of peace is extremely precious, and we certainly welcome it. The Buddhist path that I uphold is actually doing the same thing, hoping to bring peace to this suffering world." Hodel bowed with one hand.

"Really? Then your men must be teaching them lessons on those battlefields, right?" Tyne laughed.

"Whether you believe it or not, the teachings of Buddha have always been against killing and disputes. We have never taken anyone's life on this battlefield." Hodel ignored Tain's ridicule and continued to answer with a smile.

"That makes sense. After all, those who can come here are dead. If you die once, you can't die a second time, right?" Taiyin sneered. "Stop talking nonsense. Since you said you are not here to stop me, what is your purpose?"

"I was trapped in Helheim for more than 5,000 years because I made a big mistake. It was the Buddha who gave me a second chance to redeem myself and make amends. Now that I reflect on myself according to the Buddha's teachings, I will not sit idly by and watch my brothers fall into danger."

"...Can you please be more straightforward?"

"A great army is approaching Helheim, my brother, and their target is not us, but you."

Although Hodel remained gentle, his tone became serious when he said this, and it was obvious that he was not joking. "How did you know?" Taiyin paused and asked.

"My Lord, the Ancestor of Ten Thousand Buddhas, has sent me a warning from outside the starry sky. In that chaotic realm called the Void of the Universe, a passage opened up by divine power is already chasing in the direction where your signal fell."

"Your master?"

Tyne looked up and glanced at the pitch-black background of the universe. Beyond those boundaries that were so far away that he could not tell the distance, he could indeed feel some giant gaze shuttling and wriggling in the dark.

There was no doubt that it was a spirit.

Although this spirit was not as huge and transcendent as the old one, Tyin had to admit that this huge shadow projected from outside the starry sky was indeed very similar to the old gaze, and it could even be said that they were from the same source.

It was said in the old days that all believers in the new gods can only live in the void. Could it be that Hodel's master really observed some danger from the void?
"Don't doubt it any more. If I hadn't told you, I wouldn't have traveled across the Styx to come here. You probably don't know that in the past few hundred years, sons of Odin like you and me have been mysteriously hunted down and disappeared one after another."

Tai Yin frowned. He had actually received a similar warning from Jiu Ri before, but he did not show it at this moment. Instead, he asked, "Did your master tell you this too?"

"Not only my Lord, I have also verified the accuracy of this news from many sources. The hunt for Odin's bloodline is extraordinary. Not even a trace of soul of the murdered brothers has returned to Helheim. This is definitely not a normal death."

Hodel's statement indirectly confirmed the anomalies that Zhou Xiao observed in the void. It seemed that he was not the only one who noticed that Odin's sons had accidents one after another. Clues could also be seen from the "death" side.

Those descendants of Odin disappeared one after another, but their souls did not return to the kingdom of the dead like Balder and Hodr. Could it be that they were not dead, but imprisoned or corroded?
Just as Zhou Xiao was pondering the possibility, a dazzling blood light immediately came from the main screen. A familiar divine power cut open a crack in space, and a huge scarlet divinity gushed out like a broken aorta.

Those scarlet divine powers screamed violently and quickly formed a terrifying blood storm in the air. In the center of the storm was the rainbow bridge that once belonged to the authority of the "Gate".

The Key of the Starry Sky is the last artifact of time and space left in this world. Now, after being transformed by the Evil Bats and distorted by the faith of the Cross God King, it is no longer the neatly symmetrical Wheel of Time and Space, but an Eye of the Void floating above the divine realm.

What it brought were six Kryptonian fleets from Vanaheim, with a total of more than 30,000 standard warships, and 100,000 Kryptonian warriors as standard on each warship.

The Eye of the Void, having completed the transmission, disappeared from the sky, leaving only a fleet of ships slowly approaching from outer space.

Tyne and Hodel turned their heads to look at the sky at the same time. Through the thin atmosphere, they saw those terrifying Kryptonian warships and the two special commanders standing at the bow who were in charge of this mission.

The "angel" Gabriel holding the bloody hammer, and Lucifer.
