Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 25 The Three Goddesses of Fate Are Missing One
This is the power of [Destiny]!

Because of the intervention of fate, all interactions on the physical level are only for achieving the goal that the holder of [Kungunir] desires to achieve.

This kind of operation that forcibly uses unreasonable rules to override the general laws of physics means that ordinary people are destined to be unable to avoid the attacks of [Kungunir] when they dodge, parry or block according to general rules.

This is the Bug!
Originally, Downs thought that he could let Odin go to the center of the World Tree, break off a thick branch of the World Tree to use as [Kungurnir], and then pierce his chest as recorded in the epic, hang himself upside down for nine days, and comprehend the runes with mysterious powers.

But an unexpected incident left Towns a little overwhelmed.

Just as Odin left, news came that the wife of the wise giant Mimir had given birth to a child.

The twins are healthy, named Urd and Verdant, and they seem to have supernatural powers!

and many more!

Where are the three goddesses of Norn?
You know, in mythology, Mimir’s three daughters are the goddesses of fate!
The eldest daughter, Urd, controls the [past], the second daughter, Verdan, controls the [present], and the youngest daughter, Shikoti, controls the [future]. The three sisters not only control the fate of mankind, but can even predict the fate of the gods.

Now you tell me, the future is gone?
This news made Towns frown.

After traveling here for so long, Tang Si has more or less grasped the habits of the Jinlunga world. When the world will ignorantly feels that a Thor is needed, then the Thor must be born as the son of the God King. As for whether the God King is Odin or Tang Si, it is not important to the world.

Every new god that comes into the world must be what the world needs.

Well then, if Shikoti, who controls the fate of the [future], does not appear, what does that mean for the world?
The future destiny is not important?

Or has the god of destiny who controls the future already been born?

So who is he?

This problem gave Towns a headache.

"Never mind about it for now." What Downs did now was just to call in the dwarf blacksmith Du Hualin and ask him and his dwarf craftsmen to prepare for the forging of the magic gun.

And he wanted to go to the center of the world tree with Odin in person.

When he arrived at the place, Odin was stunned.

In the center of the World Tree, which he thought would remain unchanged forever, he saw countless chaotic vines visible to the naked eye. They were almost tangible, entwined around the trunk like twisting venomous snakes.

Although it was silent, it made a rustling sound similar to that of a snake moving.

These dense strips of chaotic aura dimmed the emerald green light of the World Tree.

Odin lost his voice and said, "This is..."

"Chaos has never been far away from us. It is always there. Outside the atmosphere and in the very center of the World Tree. It is the World Tree that helps the entire world purify chaos and provides a living space for all living things."

Odin shuddered: "What if one day the purification ability of the World Tree fails?"

Tang Si looked up, as if he was lost in thought and looking into the distance, but in fact he was looking at another world that was vaguely connected to this world, but unfortunately he couldn't see through it. He said slowly: "The weakening of the World Tree means the beginning of the destruction of the world."

Odin's face rarely showed any color. "What should we do?"

"Either accept the decline of the world and survive in a lower-level world cycle, or find a new way out." Odin was silent for a while, he lowered his head first, and when he raised his head again, Towns saw that his eyes were shining.

"Brother, you are awesome. You are indeed the most suitable one to be the God King."

"Hmm?" Downs was curious.

"You always call me stupid. Although I didn't want to admit it before, I gradually found that you were right. I also lost the desire to refute."

"..."

"Just think about it, everyone had such a hard life before. We, the giants, all lived a primitive, dirty, vulgar life. But once you became the king of the gods, it seemed like you knew everything. You would answer anything that mortals asked you. Whenever there was any dispute between the gods, giants, and mortals, you could mediate well and make a fair judgment. To be honest, big brother, I envy you."

"Don't be envious. If you study hard, you will be able to stand on your own one day."

"No need, big brother. Actually, it's fine for me to help you out now."

"..."Tang Si was a little bit unconvinced.

"I love this world deeply. We named every piece of land under our feet. It is the land that gave birth to us and will breed our offspring in the future. My brothers and I reshaped the world with our own hands and are familiar with every inch of its structure. We watched mortals begin to multiply, and we also watched them worship us as sacred. Since I am very satisfied with all of this, I am naturally willing to dedicate everything I have to protect it."

"This is the truth! The world has gifted us with power, so of course we must give back everything it has given us in a responsible way."

"Brother, it's great that you can understand. Don't tell father and mother what I'm going to do next. I'm afraid they will worry."

Understanding Odin's determination, Downs nodded.

Obviously, Odin had come here once under the call of fate and vaguely felt the power hidden in the core of the world tree. He knew that he had to pay a price to obtain the mysterious power hidden in the trunk.

In front of Tang Si, Odin stepped forward and broke off a six-meter-long branch of the World Tree, which was slightly taller than him. Then he jumped high onto a branch of the tree, grabbed a young branch of the World Tree, and wrapped it around his feet, so that he was hanging upside down on the bark.

Then, he broke off the branch of the World Tree and pierced his chest with it, nailing himself to the trunk.

To obtain mysterious powers, sacrifices are required.

Odin sacrificed himself in this way, and the sacrifice was called [Pain] and [Blood]!
Blood filled with divine power flowed out drop by drop and fell on the trunk of the World Tree.

As he lost blood and was buffeted by the icy wind, Odin began to fall into a mysterious state of unconsciousness.

Downs, who was watching quietly, knew that Odin was about to begin to comprehend the famous runes.

This mysterious rune contains the most fundamental power within the World Tree and is the cornerstone of this mysterious power. Of course, having the rune is not enough, the rune is just a carrier, and you need to learn the corresponding spell afterwards.

One day, two days, three days passed.

Who knew that fate seemed to play a huge joke on Towns and Odin——

Because Towns actually discovered that the rune had also floated into his mind.

and many more!

Is there something wrong here?
