Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 35: The Aesir's Return Gift

Towns deliberately designed true damage for his [Sword of the Nine Realms] in order to deal with the Aesir's biggest rival in this world, the Vanir.

Although the Aesir seem extremely powerful, in fact, most of their members follow the path of becoming gods through their physical bodies. Especially after mixing with the blood of giants, they almost entirely rely on physical output, which is particularly prominent in Thor.

Although they are extremely powerful in their own bodies, the problem is that when they encounter an enemy that does not fight you head-on, but constantly harasses and attacks you with small and fast spirit combinations and magic, most of the Aesir are at a loss.

In the epic [Edda], some Aesir gods whose bodies were not strong enough slowly drained the blood of the Vanir gods, and many of them were killed. In contrast, the Vanir gods themselves were not strong enough, and once their magic was broken, they would be killed instantly on the spot. As a result, the two sides fought a long and arduous game, exhausting all their strength and reluctantly making peace.

The impact of Gullveig's kneeling was also huge.

If, as in the epic, Odin and Thor failed to defeat Gulveig, the enemy goddess who wielded dark magic, even after three attempts to kill her, then the Aesir would definitely have been scared before the battle even began, and their strength would have been reduced by 30% as soon as the fight started.

Now...

Isn't it just that Odin lost face?
Hasn't the God King, the acknowledged 'stupid brother', been embarrassed enough over the years?
God's younger brother is unreliable, God's king is reliable, and God's son still has room to grow, that's enough.

The moment the tattooed goddess knelt down, loud cheers broke out in the temple.

"Hahaha! Evil witch! Do you think your tricks will work?"

"Your Majesty doesn't even need to take action personally, a mortal can defeat you!"

"You know you're wrong now! Hahahaha!"

The giants had the loudest voices, mixed with the excited screams of the goddesses. Everything happened so fast in the hall that when the bow god Yule rushed back, he was surprised to see that the enemy had already knelt.

Yule asked awkwardly: "Did I miss something?"

"No! You didn't. What's next is the most exciting!" Loki's face was flushed with excitement. Gulveig's magical spells deeply stimulated his nerves. He felt that he could develop more tricks.

At the foot of the hall steps, Gulveig's body was twitching violently. She was very angry and wanted to get up and use dark magic to attack this barbarian God-King who had done something to her.

Sadly, she couldn't.

The cold mist was stirring wildly in her body, transforming into human-sized hands, physically breaking her heart.

Not fatal, but heart-wrenching!
The abnormal movement of her internal organs made her collapse!
Tears, snot, and sweat flowed uncontrollably from every orifice of her body. She looked as if she had just been fished out of a pond, looking extremely disheveled.

"You...what did you do to me?" Gulveig, with a strange cold mist and white smoke coming out of his mouth, asked Towns in a distorted and fearful voice.

Tang Si's posture seemed to have not changed since she entered the hall. She still held her chin with her hand and showed a mysterious smile on her face: "Nothing, I just let you feel the 'reality' of a part of the world."

"What is the truth?"

Tang Si did not answer, but ordered: "Valkyries, drag her down and lock her up in the sky prison. Just stick the sword into her body. Although pulling it out won't change anything..."

"Yes!" These God-chosen girls from the earth excitedly carried out the orders of the God-King.

Compared with the gods, due to their relatively insufficient strength, they could only work together to drag the nearly five-meter-tall Gulveig out of the hall like a dead dog.

But it actually deepened the sense of déjà vu of "a mortal defeating the enemy's true god".

The noises of the gods and giants in the hall not only did not weaken, but became even louder.

“Hahaha! Is this the Vanir? They are not even as good as mortals. How ridiculous!”

"Look at her miserable state. Her head doesn't even deserve to be hung on the Rainbow Bridge."

Seeing Gulveig being dragged away, Odin stepped out unwillingly and bowed deeply: "I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I was too reckless just now." "I'm sorry, Father God, me too." Thor also came out to admit his mistake.

Tang Si waved his hand and said, "Listen, you two - a general must not be impulsive. Remember this and cultivate your temper."

"Yes!" the two gods answered in unison.

At this time, Paul stepped out and said, "So, how do we respond to the Vanir's declaration of war?"

With just one sentence from Paul, the giants started to stir. They raised all kinds of weapons, and their deep roars almost blew off the dome of the Golden Palace: "Kill all their male gods! Rob all their goddesses! Oh oh oh——"

The corner of Downs' mouth twitched slightly.

As expected, it is the pantheon believed in by the Vikings in history. Their logic of action is so... simple!
However, these stupid giants have no chance of winning against the Vanir!

In the epic, they were the ones holding back in this battle.

Over the years, in addition to the couple Fabti and Laofei who had come to join them, there were also a group of giants who were famous in the epic, such as the giant Tiaz and the female giant Skadi, who had come to join them.

The giant admires the strong and is straightforward in character.

On the other hand, it would not seem a good idea not to let these giants loyal to the Aesir go into battle when the enemy's strength is unknown.

Towns had an idea.

"My fellow giants, I have received your request for war. We should indeed respond, but not by sending you to Vanaheim, which is surrounded by the ocean. That would be the biggest waste of your strength. So I have a better way to show your bravery and strength."

"What is it?" Tiaz asked excitedly.

"Gods, continue to gather your armies. And giants, please follow me."

Soon, Downs brought nearly a hundred giants to the westernmost cliff of the suspended continent Asgard, pointing to the clearly visible continent Vanaheim below.

The straight-line distance between the two continents is actually not that far, only about 100 kilometers.

The two continents are not small in area. At this distance, you can actually see the small island in the sea surrounded by the blue ocean.

"Those despicable people who claim they should rule the world of Kinlunga are on that island! Do you see it?"

Towns' words received a thunderous response from the Giants: "I see—"

"All you have to do is strap yourself in and drop the boulder on the heads of those damn bastards. Can you do it?"

"We can do it!" The giants became even more excited!

To be honest, they felt a little guilty about having to beat up those enemy gods who had tricks and seemed to be unkillable no matter what.

When it comes to hard work, this is what they do best.

So, after tying oversized safety ropes made of several huge vines around their waists, the giants lifted up huge rocks weighing ten tons and threw them down towards Vanaheim below.

This is an artificial meteor shower.

Giants are also human beings, there’s nothing wrong with that!
With the huge rocks falling and the earth-shattering momentum as the background, Tang Si smiled and said, "Vanir, please accept this return gift!"
