Old days in the box

Chapter 524: The big brand where the gods have settled!

"The level of the magic network and the powerful spells."

Although Sif did not agree immediately, she recited these conditions in her mind so that she could think about how to lobby the gods after returning to the Forest Palace.

He had already heard about the power of the magic web spells from what he had seen in various worlds, and what the Old Ones promised now were not even those simple three- and four-ring spells, but powerful spells of at least the seventh ring, which would undoubtedly be a great help in the war.

"What's the second thing?" Sif asked immediately. He did not forget that he had made two requests in the past.

"The second thing isn't difficult either, it just might take some time for you to think about it."

"You hold in your hands the common heritage of many gods - the Heart of the Gods. The second thing I need you to do is to temporarily lend this artifact to my magic network for five hundred years."

Compared to the first thing, this request was obviously more unexpected to Sif.

The Heart of the Gods is an artifact jointly created by all the old gods who defected to the Kingdom of Elves. This artifact gathers a corner of the power of all gods, and uses unity to resist the natural decline of the power of God. It is now kept in the hands of Sif.

How did the Old One know about such a secret matter? What was His intention in taking this divine weapon?
Sif naturally could not imagine that, sitting in Zhou Xiao's position, all the secrets about Him had already been clearly displayed on the information panel and there was no way to hide them.

"The Heart of the Gods is not my property alone. I have no right to make this decision." Although she was a little shaken, Sif still answered through gritted teeth.

"As I said, this does take some time for you to consider." Old Day was no exception.

"The Heart of the Gods is a divine tool used by the old gods to unite their powers. It originates from the resonance between powers and cannot be truly seized by any one person. Otherwise, how could the gods trust you with it? And I have also made it very clear: I am only borrowing the Heart of the Gods temporarily. Once the term is up, I will return it to its original owner."

"But what is your intention in borrowing this artifact? The Heart of the Gods is not a tool for fighting. Its existence is only to combine the power of all authorities to resist and delay the natural decline of authority." Sif asked puzzled.

"That's my business. The only thing I can assure you is that I never wanted to steal the power. Believe me, that little bit of divine power is not enough to make me look askance. Besides, with the current situation of the universe, the Heart of the Gods is the safest place to keep it with me."

Zhou Xiao did not directly answer the other party's question, but once again emphasized his fairness. If Sif believed in his promise, then this deal did not seem completely impossible.

"You have made many requests and promises, but I have never heard how you will achieve what I want." After a long silence, Sif finally spoke again.

Before agreeing to these two requests, He wanted to make sure whether His benefits were strong enough to allow Him to take the risk.

"I will dispatch a large army to the front line of the God War in Vanaheim - but not as reinforcements for the gods, but as the sharp blade of you, Lady Harvest. In addition, my Old Ones will also go with them. They will find the angel prince who devoured Thor's flesh and blood, cut off his head and send it to the Forest Palace. After that, their blades will point directly at the Knights of the Apocalypse."

"The Great Old Ones? I have never heard of this name."

"You will hear it. They are the Primarchs capable of commanding the power of the Old Ones, my children." The Old Ones replied slowly.

After hearing the answer from the Old One, Sif felt relieved. Although she had not seen these Old Ones, she was deeply impressed by their might. As their descendants, they must not be ordinary people.

"In that case, I agree to all your requests." Sif nodded and bowed to the Old Day again.

He opened his palms towards the void, and a burst of colorful light suddenly swept across time and space, and a spherical body of light appeared from His hands.

That is the Heart of the Gods, a sacred artifact that was pieced together after the powers of dozens of old Norse gods were shattered. It can symbolize the authority of dozens of gods at the same time.

By uniting the masses, these fragments of authority jointly resisted the natural decline brought about by the new law of nature. All the authority with fragments in the Heart of the Gods could delay the decline by about a thousand years. Of course, this was on the premise that they were not hunted down and destroyed by the God's Domain.

"For the next five hundred years, the Heart of the Gods will be temporarily loaned to you. But I must remind you that each fragment of this artifact comes from the authority of a different god. If the Heart of the Gods is no longer stable, all the fragments will automatically return to their respective owners. This is irreversible."

"Don't worry, as I said, I never intended to embezzle the power above."

Hela, who had been silent all this time, stepped forward and borrowed the Heart of the Gods on behalf of her Lord God. Then Sif continued:

"As for the matter of connecting the gods to the magic network, it will begin immediately after I return to the Palace in the Forest. I hope that I can hear good news about your army's movements at the same time."

"You don't need to listen to the outside world. Once you are connected to the magic network, the information will be transmitted naturally along the network, and it will be convenient and fast to cross the interface."

"That's the best."

The secret deal between Him and Sif was thus reached. Having received the promise, He once again made a courtesy gesture to the front, and left the magic network contentedly under the escort of Hela.

After watching Sif leave, Hela returned to her own secret room, picked up the control of the magic web again, and extended her spiritual consciousness to a higher level.

"Get ready for the seventh floor. The souls of the gods will be connected soon." Jiu Ri gave the order softly.

“Do you really believe that he can successfully convince the gods?” Although she said this, Hela had actually already begun preparations for the seventh floor.

"The gods trust her: a loyal and heroic widow, once one of the twelve gods. Who can doubt such a woman? Especially after the birth of the Chaos Swarm."

Although Sif viewed the Zerg as a failure, in fact, in the eyes of the other gods, the birth of the Chaos Zerg was a great success.

The gods never seek subversive changes. What they need is stability and order. If the Zerg is really an uncontrollable force that can't be stopped, they will be disgusted.

In the final analysis, the old gods had no intention of changing. Although they were hostile to Odin, they did not yearn for the new era of faith. All they wanted was to return to the past, to that ignorant and stable era, and to regain the time when the gods ruled the world.

It was precisely because everyone's goals were no longer synchronized that Zhou Xiao had the opportunity to take advantage of the situation.

“I’m just worried about whether he can convince the goddess of fertility. Don’t you always say that he is the most difficult god in Alfheim?” Hela smiled mischievously.

"It's time for you to stop talking nonsense. Go and prepare a place for those old gods. The souls of gods are not like those of mortals. Once they move in, the computing power required will be thousands of times greater. Prepare the first spell slot for them. For the rest, let them exchange their souls for them."

"Don't worry, I know what to do."

Hela chuckled, then focused all her spiritual awareness on the magic net and started working.

During these decades of getting along, the goddess of the magic network has completely trusted the Old One and recognized His status as the Supreme God.

"After the gods move in, the brand of the Demon Network will be initially established..."

Looking at this secret room where silk threads are interwoven, Zhou Xiao couldn't help but ponder it in a low voice.
