Players’ NPC daddy.

"This is your punishment for not speaking human language and being mysterious."

Blaze retracted his fist and blew on it. He didn't use much force, but Kullene, the drama queen, acted as if he had used all his strength.

"Then I'll pretend that you've fooled me. I'll go and pull down Piscis Austrinus first. It has to be done sooner or later anyway." Blaze thought about it and used the same rhetoric as Themis.

"If this world is going to be destroyed by the power of the salty sea Tiamat, then I have to return as many constellations as I can, and at least complete half of the mission."

"Say, speaking of returning Pisces, you need something very special."

Chapter 1662 The Chain That Will Never Break

"Need something?"

Blaze stroked his chin and thought. Except for Leo, the returns of other constellations were extremely tortuous. Some were deliberately let go, some were sealed, and there was also a goddess who threatened to drain the power of the world of death, and so on.

Now this Pisces, which is at the end of the list, has to pull down a constellation first in the process of returning it, so it is natural that something is needed in between.

"Two things can, of course, be classified as the same." After Kullene said some nonsense, she began to gesture with her hands, "It's just long, thick, and disgusting--"

This time, Blaze hit Kulene's abdomen hard, knocking Kulene out of the river.

Because this time, Cyrene was really being mysterious. She knew what it was, but she insisted on saying more and making up a riddle.

"Sorry, this is my instinct." Kullene held his stomach and climbed up. He waved his hand, "We need a line, a line that can fish Pisces out of the sea of ​​stars and tie the two fish of Pisces together tightly. No matter how far apart they are, they will never separate."

"Line?" Blaze immediately turned around and looked at the fishing line made of Hela's hair on Gungnir.

"Then forget it. Even if you pluck out all the hair of Hela, the goddess of death, you can't make a fishing line strong enough to cross the sky and the earth."

"Of course I know. Hela is a girl. No matter what, I can't pull a girl's hair."

Blaze pinched his brows. He didn't expect that he would encounter an unsolvable problem at the first step just after deciding to return Pisces.

This is an absolutely unavoidable step. To pull Pisces down from the night sky, you need a fishing line as long as the sky and the earth. The most important part of Pisces is the two fish connected together, symbolizing that opposite existences are always closely connected.

He looked at Kulene with a questioning look, and Kulene shook her head helplessly. It was obvious that Kulene didn't know such a thing either.

"It can be extended infinitely, even as high as the heavens and the earth, and it is infinitely strong, even contradictory existences can be tightly tied together... Does such a thing exist in this world?"

"Yes, maybe."

An old voice was heard, and Odin slowly walked out from the bushes, with his hands behind his back, like an old man passing by for a walk, or a wise man giving directions to the lost.

"Let me guess, you may have lost Herbie."

“Ahem!” Odin coughed twice, then said without blushing or beating his heart, “I am an old man with only one eye, so it is normal for me to lose sight. Besides, the fact that I lost sight of you means that you have entered a realm above me, and the possibility of you becoming a super girl has also increased.”

"If you can't accept an old man like me to apologize, I'll ask a young and beautiful goddess to apologize."

"Forget it then." Blaze waved his hands.

If it was Athena who came, she would probably apologize with her body, and force the apology to be accepted.

When he thought about what Themis had said about what would happen before the world was destroyed, he was afraid that Athena would do the same.

"Let's get down to business. Do you have that kind of thing?"

Blaze looked at Odin hopefully. The [World Tree] had the dwarf race, and the dwarf race had created many magical treasures, such as Odin's heart that could produce an infinite amount of gold, and the [Gungnir] that he was carrying now, which was a sure-hit weapon.

It would not be impossible if there was an indestructible fishing line that could be extended infinitely.

"It can't be said that I have it. I can only say that I once had it, but it's not in my hands now. But I know where it is, it's just..." Odin suddenly hesitated and looked guilty.

Culene seemed to know what that thing was and let out an "Oh~" sound of sudden enlightenment. Then she patted Odin's shoulder and shook her head helplessly.

"It's terrible."

Blaze had a bad feeling.

"That wouldn't be something fatal, would it?"

"It's not fatal." Odin took a deep breath and said with the determination of going to the guillotine, "It is a world-class chain [Gleipnir] made of six non-existent things: cat's footsteps, woman's beard, stone roots, fish's breath, bear's leg tendons, and bird's saliva."

"Its texture is extremely soft, even delicate, yet it is indestructible, strong enough to pull down the stars in the sky. Even if it is stretched to the length of heaven and earth, it will never break."

"Oh! This sounds great!" Blaze raised his hands excitedly and spread them towards Odin, "Give it to me!"

"It's not in my hands. I know who knows where it is. It's..." Odin said with a complicated expression, "Hela and Ouroboros know where the chain is."

"Why are these two mentioned here?"

Odin did not answer. Cyrene spread her hands and gave Odin the answer that he could not express.

"Ouroboros and Hela are three siblings. They also have an older brother named Fenrir. The chain is used to lock up Fenrir. The reason why Fenrir is locked up is because according to the prophecy of Ragnarok, Fenrir killed Odin."

"...Really?" Blaze pursed his lips. He didn't expect there to be such a complicated relationship.

"So you are worried that after you remove the chains, the demon wolf Fenrir will come and kill you?"

"He would definitely want to kill me. We, no, I deceived him with lies and locked him up for countless years. And Ouroboros and Hela also wanted to kill me. For the same reason, I threw them into the endless ocean and the world of death. These are evil deeds that cannot be justified."

"I want to live. I can't die yet. I have only seen a little bit of your future. I want to see more." Odin nodded neatly, acknowledging his desire to live.

"But if not seeing your future is punishment for what I did to the three siblings, I will accept it."

"So go and release the demon wolf Fenrir and tell him that I will wait for him to come and die in his mouth just as the Ragnarok prophecy said."

Getting the chains means that the wolf Fenrir is released, and Odin's destined death is also released.

The woods were extremely quiet, with only the sound of flowing water counting the passage of time.

After an unknown amount of time, Blaze turned around and waved.

"If you want to apologize, go and tell them yourself. I'll talk to them first so that they don't at least want to tear you into pieces the moment they see you."

Chapter 1663 It’s better to grow up

The surrounding environment was stretched into lines, the wind was howling, and Blaze was lying on the chicken's back with his hands resting on the back of his head.

"Are you sighing?" asked the Chicken.

“I didn’t even open my mouth.”

“But you’re sighing in your heart.”

"That's right." Blaze sat up and scratched the back of his head. "Things really exploded all at once."

In fact, Blaze had been concerned about the whereabouts of the demon wolf Fenrir a long time ago. After all, Ouroboros and Hela had a good relationship, so the relationship with the demon wolf Fenrir would not be too bad.

He had always wanted to ask them whether the demon wolf Fenrir was also imprisoned somewhere, and whether he needed to go and check and help reunite their brothers and sisters.

But there was no chance until it happened by chance.

If you want to go to the underworld of Helheim, you can use the Dinner of the Goddess of Death or Chicken's [Shuttle Z] to get there directly. Now Chicken is flying at high speed in the sky because Blaze is hesitating.

Releasing the wolf Fenrir means that Odin's death is certain.

Blaze didn't know what Odin was like in the past, but he knew that Odin now was an old guy who was both annoying and likable.

He would be lonely if he never saw her again.

"Go and release the demon wolf Fenrir." The chicken said, "When Odin appeared in front of you and told you about this, he had already made up his mind and was ready."

"Even if you choose Odin, Odin himself will release the wolf Fenrir."

"He told you this just to make you grow up a little bit. If you can make this choice, he will feel more at ease when he leaves."

"Growing up and...right?"

Blaze closed his eyes and raised his head, feeling the wind taking away his body heat.

"Choose the chain to return Pisces and resolve the invasion of the saltwater Tiamat, but at the cost of sacrificing Odin."

“Is this the right choice?”

"No, the choice itself is never right or wrong. It is the person who makes the choice that decides."

Chicken answered without hesitation, her words were sharp and sarcastic. She stood on Blaze's side and ridiculed the so-called "growth".

“Some people will call giving up, accepting failure and defeat, being unwilling to work hard, standing still, and going along with the crowd growth and maturity.”

"Some people call being hopeful, optimistic, persevering, and expecting the bright side of everything childish and immature."

"But even if it's childish and immature, so what? Is it right to decide to give up something before it even starts? Tell me, Blaze, those childish and immature thoughts in your mind."

Blaze took a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the light of the future was reflected in his eyes.

"I will make this the right choice. Even if I release the wolf Fenrir, Odin will not die."

"Should we still waste time here?"

"No need, let's just go directly to Helm's Underworld!"

The chicken accelerated suddenly, and the space became illusory in an instant. The sky and the earth disappeared, replaced by the cold and gloomy underworld of Helheim.

Hela's palace was just below. The chicken glided down with Blaze and landed at the door of the palace. At the end of the palace gate, Hela was sitting on the huge throne.

As if she had not expected Blaze's arrival, Hela paused and said slowly: "I didn't expect you to come to me. I also feel the invasion of the salt water Tiamat, but I'm sorry, I can't leave Helheim and can't give you much help."

"But if you can send all the monsters created by the salt water Tiamat to Helheim, I can help you solve them."

"That would only cause Helheim to collapse first." Blaze shook his head, took a deep breath, and after making up his mind, he slowly said, "I hope you can tell me where your brother Fenrir is?"

The palace fell into silence in an instant, and the bustling crowd of dead people lost their voices in an instant. The three words "Fenrir" seemed like some kind of taboo.

Blaze didn't care about all this. He looked at Hela frankly and seriously, waiting for Hela's answer.

Hela fell silent. She leaned forward, her hair covering her face, making it impossible to see her expression.

"...Did Odin ask you to find Fenrir?"

"Yes, we need the chains that trapped Fenrir to return Pisces and solve the problem of the invasion of the saltwater Tiamat."

“Hahahaha—” Hela suddenly covered her face and laughed out loud. There was endless sarcasm in her laughter. “I didn’t expect that the chains that were used to stop Fenrir from destroying the world could actually be used to save the world. This is really hahaha—”

Hela stood up and came in front of Blaze in one step. Her huge body brought the chill of Helheim's underworld. Her face was shrouded in shadows, and only her eyes emitted a faint light.

"Then do you know what will happen if you remove the chains?"

"You three siblings will be reunited. No force can separate you anymore. And Odin will continue to work hard at that fruit stand for the best salesman medal."

"What a childish idea! When will you grow up? Do you know what Odin did to us?" Hela grabbed Blaze's body suddenly and lowered her face in front of Blaze in an instant.

"Because of the Ragnarok they saw, Fenrir was tricked into being locked up forever with a sword in his mouth, Ouroboros was thrown into the endless dark sea, and I was thrown into the underworld of Helheim as soon as I was born. What did we do wrong!"

"Or do you want to pay Odin back for what he did to us as the third one-eyed man, Blind Eye, son of Odin?"

“Then come on.” Blaze raised his hand and pushed aside the long hair that covered Hela’s face, looking directly into Hela’s eyes. “Even if I don’t need to grow up, I know that I have to be responsible for my actions and my words.”

"Let's make an equal exchange. I will bear your revenge on Odin in exchange for the future I want."

"I won't die, I won't fall down, and I won't hate you because of this. I won't change because of this, because what I want is a future without any tragedy. You will be sad without me, right?"

Hela tightly grasped Blaze's body, but his body shrank as if it was leaking air, and finally became the size of an ordinary person.

She clutched Blaze's arms and lowered her head.

"...You narcissistic fellow, do you think you are important to me and Ouroboros? Do you think that a little favor will make Ouroboros and I show mercy to you?"

"No, the relationship between us has nothing to do with your revenge on Odin. I hope you don't think about it! Feel free to vent your accumulated pain on me, otherwise it won't be equivalent-"

Before Blaze could finish his words, a huge force hit him and he was thrown out by Hela. He rolled all the way, rubbing against the ground, and then stopped right next to the chicken.

"Ahem! Why so sudden?!"

Blaze climbed up covered in dust and the chicken next to him rolled his eyes helplessly.

"You should grow up a little in this area."

"What do you mean?"

“…It’s meaningless.” Chicken sighed and turned to look at the palace. Hela was standing at the door, panting, pulling the doors on both sides with her hands.

"Ouroboros will take you there, get out of here!"

Then Hela slammed the palace door shut.

Chapter 1664: Already a Skeleton

"It hurts."

Blaze touched his chest. He felt as if he had been hit by a special professional sumo wrestler's powerful attack skill - pushing hands. He flew out with a bang.
