Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 56: Too Short-sighted and Rude

The wheel of fate rolls forward, never stopping.

Destiny that has gone astray is the hardest to correct.

At this moment, Urd, the goddess in charge of the past, was fine, but the second goddess in charge of the present, Verdan, had her eyebrows completely squeezed into a "川" shape. Finally, the two goddesses let out a long sigh.

The funny thing is that Odin has no self-awareness and continues to let the wheel of fate run wildly on the wrong path.

In fact, at this time, Odin could have cut off Njord's head, held it high, and ended this meaningless battle.

He deliberately delayed for a moment, because he just found that the giant Tiaz, who had confronted him the most, was in a desperate situation. One of the Vanir gods saw that he had no way to escape, and when Tiaz laughed wildly and opened his mouth, he suddenly turned into a dolphin and slipped into Tiaz's mouth. After reaching the stomach, he turned into a ferocious sea urchin.

"Ah! Ahhhh——" Tiaz covered his chest, but saw black spikes sticking out of his chest and piercing his hand.

This was a battle without a winner. Tiaz died because his heart was pierced, and the Vanir god inside was also killed. The giant's terrible stomach acid melted part of his body and killed him.

Some of the Aesir discovered Njord's death but deliberately ignored it. They continued to vent their frustrations during this period to the remaining Vanir gods, and some of them who could not find their targets had already begun to move towards the Vanir goddesses who were huddled in the corner of the temple with their weapons in hand.

Thor was keenly aware of the changes in the hall. He had completely suppressed Frey, who no longer had the Sword of Victory. If he was given some time, he would definitely be able to completely kill Frey. At this time, Thor was more concerned about the situation.

Thor suddenly said, "This is no longer a war, it is a massacre. Frey! Njord is dead. Do you want all your remaining relatives to be killed?"

Frey, covered in blood, was stunned for a moment, and glanced at the body of his father. If this was really a complete reckoning of the Aesir against the Vanir, he would resist to the end no matter what.

At this moment, Frey thought of his sister Freya! Then he glanced at his mother and sisters trembling in the corner of the temple.

Frey felt heartbroken, neither side was a god!
"Freya..."

"She's fine! She just became my father's exclusive goddess."

Frey had to admit that even if the Vanir were relatively open-minded, he would never accept a goddess becoming a slave after going to the other side.

Now the situation is very clear. Odin clearly wants to kill all the Vanir and allow the Aesir to kill. The only one who can stop this is Frey, who theoretically inherited the throne of Njord.

The death of his father and friend certainly made Frey heartbroken, but the previous battle with Thor in Asgard made Frey choose to believe in Thor's character!
Frey gritted his teeth, threw down the sword in his hand, and shouted at the top of his voice: "I am Frey! In the name of the acting leader of the Vanir, I declare - surrender!"

Thor quickly interrupted and shouted: "I, Thor, in the name of His Majesty the God King Tang Si, accept your surrender!"

One is willing to surrender, the other accepts.

This is completely different in form.

Odin narrowed his one eye, stared at Thor, and secretly spat in his heart: I really don't like this guy!
He had no choice but to chop off Njord's head with a sword, hold it high in the air, and shout: "Njord has been killed by me, Odin! All Vanir gods listen up - those who refuse to surrender will be killed!"

The steps were given, and this time it was Warner's turn to have no way out.

Either surrender or die!
This grand battle that lasted for more than three months ended with the complete victory of the Aesir!

In terms of the results, it was much better than the tug-of-war that lasted for several years in the epic poem [Edda]. Both the loss of property and the casualties of gods were much smaller in total.

The fall of some key gods cannot be easily compensated. But this is not a problem that Odin, the "general in command", needs to consider.

For most of the Aesir, this was still a glorious victory.

They held up spears and other sacred artifacts, shouted loudly in the Temple of Poseidon, and ordered their men to plunder anything that looked valuable as trophies. They put chains that symbolized imprisonment and shame on each Vanir god, drove them out of their homes, pressed them onto the Rainbow Bridge, and transported them to Asgard.

As for the mortals who worship the sea god Njord?
No, they were not qualified to set foot on the sacred Asgard. They were imprisoned in the ruins of a smashed palace of the Vanir god, with countless spears pointed at them and giants sitting beside them with domineering looks.

All it takes is one word from the God-King Tangs to decide their fate.

Not long after, a grand trial was held in the Golden Palace.

Tangs sat on the throne, looking down at the captives of the defeated clan, as well as the countless gold and silver vessels, armor and weapons that were spread all the way from the gate of the Golden Palace to the steps of the throne!
What puzzled the onlookers the most was the so-called prisoner presentation ceremony.

The little Vanir gods were chained to the palace in thorn-shaped shackles. These metal shackles were made by dwarf craftsmen and were decorated with runes, which could effectively suppress the magical abilities of the Vanir gods.

This is not surprising.

The surprise was the Warner goddess on the other side.

If you don't know, it's no exaggeration to say this is a fashion show.

Every Warner goddess, one by one, is not only clean, but also dressed up beautifully and wearing grand evening gowns that are in line with Warner culture.

You can see evening dresses in the shape of [ ], which exaggerate the figure and the charming waistline.

Ironically, the one in charge of commanding them was Gulveig.

Her eyes were full of enthusiasm, and she was disciplining a group of Warner goddesses like an orchestra conductor:
"If you want to fight your fate, you should die in the Temple of Poseidon, not standing here."

"When Njord sent me to provoke the Vanir and declare war, you were also their supporters."

"You are already losers now. So forget your once noble status. Whether you can still be called a goddess depends on your performance. Smile a little. Well, that's right."

Although she was just a servant of God, the radiance she exuded made others feel that she was the Queen of God.

After hearing what Gulveg said, they still showed some sadness on their faces. Then, seeing sister Freya (sister) standing next to Towns giving them a reassuring smile, they all gritted their teeth and tried hard to control their expressions.

Towns looked away.

As the excited Thor was responsible for rolling out the names again, Odin, the second biggest contributor to the counterattack, walked in with his head held high to the sound of the band's drums.

Thor read out Odin's merits, and Odin was delighted and thought that he had made amends this time. However, he did not expect that the first sentence Towns said would still start with that damn sentence.

"My stupid brother—"

Odin couldn't hold it in any longer: "I, what did I do wrong? I just killed the false god leader who provoked the Aesir. Is that wrong of me?"
Downs continued, "Yes, I did say that Niold's fate is in your hands. But your approach is still too short-sighted and too brutal."
