Chapter 241 The Celestial Palace, Under the Gaze of Odin, King of the Gods (Third Update)

In the boundless void, a magnificent and splendid celestial palace continent floats silently.

On this ancient continent, the buildings of this celestial palace are constructed from thick natural rocks and special metals.

Gold, silver, and dark raw stones intertwine to create a unique color scheme.

It possesses the composure and precision of advanced civilization characteristic of classical Nordic architecture, exuding a majestic and awe-inspiring presence.

This continent is the divine realm of Asgard in Norse mythology.

At the center of the continent of Asgard lies the palace of Odin, the king of the gods.

Sharp, pointed towers reach into the deep starry sky, their walls etched with patterns from Asgard’s countless years of conquest and ancient mythological totems.

The main hall is surrounded by thick, giant stone pillars.

A sense of solemnity and grandeur immediately comes to mind.

On a rooftop of the celestial palace, the sun had already set, casting a dim, yellow glow on the horizon and enveloping the palace.

A white-haired, one-eyed old man dressed in gorgeous casual clothes was admiring this scene.

He is Odin, the king of the gods.

However, this once renowned king of gods, whose fame resounded throughout the universe, has grown old.

His single eye gazed down upon the kingdom of Asgard, but his attention was not there; rather, it was on the kingdom called Midgard, which was Earth.

"Has that human kid grown to this level?"

Odin is undoubtedly the most unique being among the gods. Although he is the god of heaven, his true combat power far exceeds that level.

His power is comparable to, or even surpasses, that of a single-dimensional being above the Heavenly Father God.

Even someone as powerful as Odin could not escape fate.

In his youth and prime, Odin never believed in destiny and thought he could lead Asgard to break free from so-called destiny.

However, reality dealt him a heavy blow.

No matter how hard he tried, leading the powerful Asgardian army to conquer the eight wastelands, he still could not change his fate.

Therefore, after Odin learned of this, he chose to end the war.

Of course, it was also related to the fact that he was beaten up for some unknown reason.

Having foreseen the course of fate, Odin could only silently accept it, helplessly watching Ragnarok unfold step by step.

It comes, yet we are powerless to stop it.

He was furious with his son Saul for being so unruly.

Hopefully, Thor will mature, for he will become the most powerful and outstanding king in Asgard's history.

There just wasn't enough time.

Because the price of growth is that Thor will lose everything, sacrificing himself to gain maturity.

Odin "saw" Thor holding his lost friends, lovers, and family members in his arms, heartbroken.

He sighed countless times.

But to everyone's surprise, the change began a year ago.

Fate took an unexpected turn; the river of destiny split, flowing in a direction that was completely obscured.

There have been many instances of anomalies in the timeline.

However, each time it will be corrected in anticipation, and overall it will still follow this line.

If this is not corrected, and the future changes, then the universe will be distorted, leading to unpredictable disasters and even a cosmic-level crisis.

This time, however, it's different.

The timeline has changed, completely changed, but the universe still operates reasonably, as if this is the normal timeline.

They don't even understand Odin, a being from a higher dimension.

Odin's power told him that the current course of time was reasonable, perfectly reasonable.

It's so reasonable that it doesn't need any correction at all.

Although Odin was separated by a great distance, he was still able to trace back to the source and pinpoint the anomaly that altered the timeline.

They were also quietly watching.

He found it strange that the young Midgard was able to alter the timeline, especially after the Ancient One not only didn't actively correct this anomaly, but instead nurtured him with great effort.

Odin basically understood.

This young man is someone important.

Now he's even able to venture into hell alone, causing quite a stir.

Now, my once dormant heart is beginning to revive.

Since the timeline has changed but it can still function reasonably, does this mean that the fate of Asgard, Thor, and Loki will also change?

Odin narrowed his single eye.

Just as he was thinking, he heard footsteps behind him.

"Father God."

"Father God."

Two voices came from behind, one deep and upright, the other magnetic and gentle.

The sound interrupted Odin's thoughts.

Odin turned around and saw Thor, a burly and strong man wearing armor and a cloak and wielding Mjolnir, and his other son Loki, who was dressed in green robes and armor and had a pale and handsome face.

"Father God, the rebel army that appeared in Vanaheim has been wiped out, and Vanaheim has returned to peace."

Thor is brave, resilient, and cheerful.

Her long, flowing blond hair exuded a fearless aura.

Loki, on the other hand, was quieter and more reserved. However, these were merely a protective facade, concealing his frivolousness and arrogance.

burden.

Thor's report did not receive Odin's approval.

Over the years, this has happened far too often. Thor is undoubtedly brave and skilled in battle, but Odin is dissatisfied because Thor is still not mature enough.

He was chosen by Odin to be the next king of Asgard.

Thor lacks the mindset befitting a king.

He was merely a brave and reckless warrior, not even a qualified commander.

The same goes for Loki.

Loki is very intelligent, which is his advantage. He doesn't have his brother Thor's bravery and strength, but he is good at scheming and calculating.

However, if Thor is too reckless and immature, then Loki is too focused on those cunning schemes.

His perspective, like Thor's, is unfit for a qualified king.

Odin already had a plan in mind.

He knew very well that Thor and Loki needed a war, not just a power struggle on the surface, but also a war of the heart.

Odin needed this war to completely shatter the facade of affection between the two brothers.

Only by destroying their illusory and beautiful appearances can they enter each other's hearts.

But not now.

"Well done," Odin said casually, without batting an eye.

Loki was unaware of his father's inner thoughts.

He mentioned something else.

"Father God, it seems that quite a few things have happened in Midgard recently."

Odin's gaze immediately focused on Loki: "Midgard?"

"Yes, it seems that a very powerful guardian has appeared in Midgard. Just now, for some reason, it broke into Hell and had a brief standoff with the demon lord Mephisto, the Queen of Hell."

"I don't know if Heimdall has reported this to you."

Loki said respectfully.

"What are you trying to say, Loki?"

"Should we interfere?" Loki asked matter-of-factly; in his mind, Midgard was Asgard.

Germany's territory.
