Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 50: Isn’t a - chance an opportunity?
Downs said, "Odin! You know that we Aesir respect the strong the most. I am the strongest, so I naturally have the best goddess, the most luxurious palace, and the best spoils of war. It would be best if you can defeat the Vanir. If you can't, then I can only abolish the Vanir and let Willy replace you as the patriarch to declare our rule over the Vanir. Do you understand?"

Odin patted his chest and replied firmly: "I understand!"

This is a huge gamble with the God King as the stakes!

If you win the bet, you will become king in one step!
If you lose the bet, go to the ravine!

Odin gazed at the tall and majestic back of his elder brother Downs, feeling extremely proud: If my elder brother can do it, I can do it too!
That night, during the second half of the private song and dance, Freya's head kept swaying from side to side, her long red hair trembling like a jellyfish, her head and waist tilted back to the maximum angle, and her soft voice screamed until it was hoarse and out of tune. Then Gullveig did the same thing. So much so that Frigga was urgently summoned to the palace.

This evening, the Palace of Pleasures lived up to its name.

As the saying goes, laughing well does not mean laughing last.

The smile will not disappear, it will only move from one god's face to another.

The next day, those who had partyed all night couldn't get up.

This forced Odin, who had originally wanted to strike while the iron was hot and pursue the Vanir, to abandon his plan.

On the third day, Odin assembled almost all the high-end combat forces of the Aesir and prepared for the attack.

Towns kept his promise and generously allowed Odin to select his troops and generals.

Paul and his wife and Downs could not move. If they moved, it would be tantamount to leading the army in person. Odin was embarrassed to take the Valkyrie troops.

In the end, Odin left behind Heimdall and a bunch of gods like Dionysus who couldn't be defeated, and after leaving behind the goddesses, he took away almost all the powerful and famous Aesir in one go.

On this day, trumpets blew long and long, and the ground was covered with golden helmets and armor, with a murderous aura in the air.

From the mortal army to the tall and burly giants, each one is armed to the teeth.

Looking around, the huge army filled the exaggerated square in front of the Rainbow Bridge, which could accommodate 100 giants standing shoulder to shoulder.

Thor, the god of thunder, Loki, the god of trickery, Tyr, the god of war, Balder, the god of light, Vali, the god of vengeance, Vidar, the god of the forest, Yul, the god of the bow, plus a large number of giants.

Odin's behavior had already made giants like Tiaz look down on him.

"Your Majesty, Dons, doesn't need so many strong men to beat up that guy Niold." The words of the big mouth Tiaz were recognized by many giants.

When Odin, who was sitting on the towering golden podium, heard this, a vein popped out on his forehead.

Odin endured it.

Today is the starting point of his legendary journey. He wants to use his undisputed military exploits to shut up the gods and giants.

Odin turned his head and glanced in the direction of the Golden Palace. His good brother really kept his promise and did not interfere with his departure ceremony, leaving the stage completely to him.

Odin was very grateful, except for one small flaw - he saw Freya and Frigga nestled in their eldest brother's arms on the terrace, and Paul and his wife sitting next to them. This might be his eternal pain.

Concentrating his mind, Odin raised his divine spear [Grunnir] high and declared: "All hands on deck! Let us completely conquer the Vanir who challenged the majesty of the Aesir!"

The divine spear responded to Odin's will, and the tip of the spear emitted a brilliant light, shining brightly.

The gods, giants, and mortal soldiers in the audience shouted in unison: "The Aesir are invincible!"

They are extremely ambitious and claim that they can flatten mountains and fill up the seas. Nothing can stop them.

Accompanied by the sound of majestic marching horns, they lined up in a relatively neat formation and headed towards the Rainbow Bridge.

It was a golden torrent of gods, sweeping towards the enemy from the direction of the Golden Palace. They were countless elite mortals, their golden armor gleaming in the morning sun, and the bright red feathers on the top of their full-face helmets undulating like the tide.

Bestla was excited and nervous: "Son, do you think Odin can win?"

Towns said calmly: "As for me, I will definitely win. As for Odin... he has a good chance."

Just say that the chances are 50-50, right?

Paul felt that the pride of his eldest son was natural. He also felt the ambition of his second son Odin. It was absolutely rare for the eldest son to give the second son such an opportunity.

Frigga added, intentionally or unintentionally, "With an army like this, even if you tie a dog to the commander's seat, you can still win."

Towns: “…”

In theory -

Warner had just been defeated, and was short of soldiers and generals, and the gods had suffered heavy losses and were not fully equipped;
Asa won the first victory, with many soldiers and generals, the morale of the gods was high, and the weapons and armor were complete.

No matter how you look at it, the Aesir are bound to win.

but……

There’s a saying that goes, everything before ‘but’ is actually nonsense.

Njord had his life taken away three times by Towns. Now he has a rare three days, will he just do nothing?
On the small island of Vanaheim, the sky hummed and a brilliant rainbow light appeared in an instant.

When countless Aesir gods in the rainbow light rushed out with mortal soldiers, the poor Vanir god seemed to only have time to open the protective shield of the Temple of Poseidon.

Odin was very cautious. He divided the army into four parts and used the Rainbow Bridge to parachute to the four directions of the Sea Temple: east, west, south, and north. Moreover, the gods and soldiers were arranged with emphasis, with the east being the strongest and the west being the weakest.

This is because the shield is more easily broken when it is attacked unevenly.

Odin never expected that just after he finished airborne, the sea behind him suddenly raised huge waves of thirty or forty meters high.

If it was a thousand-meter-high annihilating wave, Odin would not be afraid. If the opponent used all his strength to counterattack, he could just turn around and slip into the Rainbow Bridge to avoid the limelight. As for the terrifying wave of a hundred meters, he could withstand it if he was determined.

A 'small wave' of less than 30 meters, which means that Njord can use it as a regular means of attack.

Unlike the illusory waves in Asgard last time, the waves this time are real. Don't underestimate this level of waves. A 30-meter-high wave is enough to easily sink a -ton ship.

"Hmph!" Odin suddenly leaned on his magic spear and clapped his hands together.

"Om-"

Amidst a strange humming sound, an extremely exaggerated polar storm spread from under Odin's feet.

This can be said to be a detour of fate.

In this life, after Downs mastered the priesthoods of [Sky], [War], and [Death], Odin naturally had to settle for the next best thing and choose other priesthoods.

One of Odin's current priesthoods is [Winter]!
As a descendant of the frost giant Ymir, Odin also had a deep understanding of cold. The icy magic that had turned into substance gushed out from the cracks in his armor. The magic that was converted from divine power was so pure that it appeared in a beautiful pure white color.

They surrounded Odin's hand like mist, and the next moment, a composite magic circle composed of three three-dimensional magic circles was vertically mounted on Odin's left forearm armor, spraying the magic power toward the periphery of the attacking team.
