Chapter 818: The Resurrected Original God
Chapter 818: The Resurrected Original God
According to the description of the main quest, if Lu Li wants to complete the quest, he only needs to obtain 50% of the exploration degree and 50% of the purity of the world core. In his opinion, it is not difficult to ensure that mankind is not destroyed.
After all, they have already won six games, and tomorrow the gods will make the first choice, which basically determines their victory.
But when he made his first appearance in the battle and killed Thor, the God of Thunder in Norse mythology, he did not obtain the fragment of the core of the world, which did not fit in with his previous understanding of the process of breaking through the world.
Moreover, this time regarding collecting the World Core, the mission did not specify who he should find to extract it, whereas previous missions of this type would usually specify this.
Lu Li had been living a leisurely and comfortable life these past few days, and was focused on the direction of the competition, so he didn't pay much attention to the progress of his tasks.
Now that Aizen said this, he realized that something was wrong as he had not obtained the fragment of the World Core.
Judging from the straightforward content of the mission, Lu Li initially thought that there would be a total of thirteen battles, and winning seven of them would be victory. His simple mind thought that if he killed a god in each battle, then after seven battles, the purity of the core of the natural world would be accumulated to more than 7%.
After all, the content of this comic is the battle between humans and gods, with a total of thirteen battles. Lu Li feels that the thirteen gods who appear are the "protagonists" and the focal point of the core of the world.
But if you think about it carefully, this is not the case. Just as he can decide to replace people at the last minute and send Xiang Yu, who was not originally in the comics, into the battle, the gods can also do the same and send gods who did not appear in the original work into the battle.
Therefore, relying on this to collect the core of the world is definitely unstable. Moreover, Lu Li and Aizen can only fight in one battle each, so there is no possibility that they can kill seven opponent gods.
In this way, the collection of the world core mentioned in the main quest may have nothing to do with the game.
"It seems that Brother Lu has come to his senses. Take another look at our exploration speed."
Seeing Lu Li lost in thought, Aizen reminded him again.
Upon hearing this, Lu Li quickly checked his exploration level and found that it had increased a lot. "Is it because we just learned about the hidden things behind this war between humans and gods?"
"It should be like this. Odin's conspiracy is the fundamental reason for the war between humans and gods. Analyzing the secrets of the original gods will greatly enhance our world exploration."
Aizen explained, "From this perspective, I think that the ultimate collection of the world core will fall on the original god."
"It seems that this world is not as simple as it seems. I thought this vacation would end like this."
Lu Li said with a smile, it is easy to imagine that the original god must be much more powerful than the current main god.
Just taking Zeus' strongest form as an example, he already has the strength to fight with himself, so the Primordial God must be a stronger being than Zeus, and perhaps his strength is not as simple as the world difficulty indicates.
After all, the primordial gods are in a sealed state. If they escape, the difficulty of the world may increase.
While Aizen was thinking about the follow-up countermeasures, a message from Sakyamuni arrived in the evening.
In his hand he held the communicator given by Aizen. The signal transmission principle was not electromagnetic waves, so they could chat across borders without any delay.
According to Sakyamuni, he had found Siegfried in hell and confirmed an even more shocking truth from him.
That is, the existence of the original god is not a legend at all, and it is certain that the current Odin is not the real 'Odin'.
This may sound confusing, but the original Odin was one of the four original gods. The current Odin just picked up the artifact left by the previous Odin, which contained some of his power, and that made him the current Norse God King.
After Lu Li learned about these things, he suddenly understood everything. He originally thought that it would be troublesome to complete the task, but it turned out that the Thor mentioned in the task was the real Thor, but Odin might not be the Odin he had seen.
Perhaps from the perspective of a hidden mission, he could complete the mission by killing Odin whom he had seen during the day, but the reward would definitely not be the highest.
Lu Li likes challenging things. If he is to kill someone, he would rather kill the strongest Odin, one of the original gods.
However, at the moment, Lu Li still doesn’t know how to kill those primordial gods. After all, they are still sealed.
"Why are you here!?"
During the call, Shakya suddenly spoke in a serious voice, and it was obvious that he was not talking to Lu Li and Aizen.
At this time, in Hell, Odin was standing outside Siegfried's prison, looking at Shakyamuni, "I should be the one to ask you, why did you invade the place where I imprisoned the criminals?"
"Oh, Odin, how long are you going to pretend? I already know what you want to do."
Shakya looked at Odin sarcastically, and with the scepter in hand, he struck Odin without any intention of negotiation.
Odin was very calm, but his face looked more and more distorted in the eyes of Shakyamuni and Siegfried. The next moment, Shakyamuni's figure disappeared from the spot, as if he was teleported away by some strange force.
"you……"
Siegfried looked at Odin in shock, "The war between gods and men is not over yet, what on earth do you want to do!?"
He didn't understand why Odin turned against him. Shakyamuni was the most influential god in Buddhist mythology. He was different from him who was a weak god. Odin had offended Shakyamuni, and Shakyamuni had collected evidence and returned to the gods' realm. He would definitely not let Odin off easily.
"No, it's over."
Odin had a sinister expression on his face. "This group of useless gods have lost six games in a row. All the smart gods know that they have no chance. But my plan won't last until the next millennium."
"Since you already know this, why don't you let me go and confess my sins to the gods? Considering your status as the Nordic God King, perhaps you can give me a lighter sentence!"
Siegfried tried to intimidate Odin with words.
However, Odin didn't buy it at all. Instead, he laughed crazily, "Give me a lighter sentence? Judge me? Who in the heavens and the worlds is worthy of judging me, the king of the gods, Odin!?"
As he spoke, he walked towards Siegfried, a bottle filled with emerald green liquid appearing in his hand.
When Siegfried saw the bottle, a look of horror appeared on his face. "Water of Life! The war between humans and gods is not over yet. Where did you come from?!"
To extract the water of life, a large number of lives are needed. On Earth alone, it takes the lives of all human beings to extract so much.
But humans have won six games in a row, so how can Odin destroy humans? The Earth is so vast, and destroying humans would make a huge noise. The other gods cannot fail to see it, and they will definitely stop Odin's crazy behavior.
Thinking of this, Siegfried's eyes were filled with disbelief. He suddenly thought of a terrifying possibility, "Could it be that God can... you... you will..."
Odin showed a twisted smile on his face, "Yes, this contains all the gods of the Norse pantheon."
Siegfried thought he knew all of Odin's schemes, but Odin never told him that humans were necessary to extract the water of life.
God can also extract the water of life, and he does not need so many individuals. He only needs to make up his mind to erase the Norse pantheon that he himself created.
"You're absolutely crazy!"
Siegfried gasped, but Odin had already grabbed his throat and forced him to open his mouth. "Everything is for the resurrection of the original god. Come, welcome this great moment."
…………In the Divine Realm, in the lounge, Aizen and Lu Li looked at each other.
There was a hint of solemnity in Aizen's eyes, but he saw the desire to fight in Lu Li's eyes.
"Brother Lu, things are getting a little troublesome. Odin is desperate and is moving so fast."
Aizen drummed his fingers on the table. Although he mentioned the word "trouble", he remained calm. After all, in this world, including the Lord God, few people could withstand a blow from Brother Lu.
Therefore, the unsealing of the original four gods may not necessarily bring them danger. Instead, it may give them an opportunity to complete the mission of breaking through the world.
"I'm sorry to Brunhilde, but it seems too late for us to rush over now, right?"
Lu Li tried to contact Sakya again and found that the call was connected, but the Sakya on the other end said that he was trapped in an alien space and it would take time to get out.
Shakya told Lu Li and Aizen to find a way to go to hell, and he would tell them the route.
But from the anxiety in Shakya's voice, one can feel that Shakya is not optimistic about the possibility of stopping Odin.
From the divine realm to the bottom of hell, even for gods who are very familiar with the road, it would take several hours to get there. Lu Li and Aizen are very powerful, and even if they use their ability to travel through time, it will take some time for them to get there.
Since Odin dared to take action, he must have arranged everything. Once Siegfried turns into a monster and unseals the four gods, it may only take a moment.
At this time, the world of gods had also begun to become chaotic, because someone went to the territory of the Norse gods to invite Odin to a meeting.
The main reason is that the gods only have one last chance to make mistakes, so they all want to find Odin to take charge of the situation, and want to see whether Odin should go into battle tomorrow.
But at this critical moment, Odin, the Norse God King, disappeared and did not come to the meeting, so they had to send someone to Northern Europe to invite him in person.
When they arrived at the territory of the Norse gods, they found it eerily quiet. When they entered the bedroom of the king of gods, they found blood everywhere. The Norse gods had been slaughtered!
The news spread to the God Realm. Such a major event made the gods have no time to care about the outcome of the game.
After all, the outcome of the game is a matter of face, and the fact that such a powerful faction in Norse mythology was completely wiped out is a matter of life and death for all the gods.
In the room where Lu Li and Aizen were, Brunhilde rushed in breathlessly, "Something big has happened, all the Norse gods have died!"
She looked horrified, and had obviously guessed a possibility, but she never thought Odin would be so crazy.
Originally, she thought that Odin was just pursuing higher power, but now it seems that this is not the case. After all, he has killed all the Norse gods who followed him. Wouldn’t he be left alone in the future?
Moreover, she had always assumed that the water of life was something that needed humans to condense, but she overlooked the fact that gods were a collection of beings with stronger vitality than humans, and Odin had a better choice!
When she thought of Odin's crazy slaughter of the Norse gods, she knew that Odin had turned the table over, and she was afraid that her lover was in danger.
"Siegfried, Siegfried...I must save him!"
Brunhilde was at a loss and just kept repeating her lover's name.
boom--
Lu Li grabbed Brunhilde's throat with one hand and pressed her against the wall. "Calm down. Didn't you say you wanted to save humanity? Or is this just an excuse to save your lover?"
Brunhilde suddenly became clear-headed when faced with Lu Li's terrifying might, "I... I'm not, I also want to save humanity."
"Then do your job."
Lu Li said coldly, he was a very good judge of people and knew that only half of what Brunhilde said was true. She certainly wanted to save her lover more, so this war between humans and gods was mostly caused by her selfishness.
Obviously, she could have avoided the destruction of humanity by explaining the truth to gods like Shakyamuni. If her proposal had been rejected, there would have been no war between humans and gods, but this was not in Brunhild's interest.
What she really wanted was to gradually put pressure on the gods and find an opportunity to rescue Siegfried.
To do this, she can plot against the respectable god Hercules or sacrifice her own Valkyrie sisters.
The thought that so many heroic people and gods were fighting for such primal reasons made Lu Li a little unhappy.
But it is meaningless to say this now. The war between humans and gods has ended here, because a new crisis has arrived, which both humans and gods must face.
Rumbling--
Lu Li heard a roar between heaven and earth. It was not the house that was shaking, but the entire divine realm was shaking and roaring.
He and Aizen walked out of the lounge and looked up at the sky of the divine realm. They saw cracks appearing everywhere in the sky. Those cracks continued to extend, like a doomsday scene.
The gods also began to panic, because most of them were not that strong, and not all of them were at the level of the main gods.
"This is... I feel the aura of a strong man..."
In Greek mythology, Zeus stood up and looked at the sky. Strangely, it was clearly the sky, but the cracks revealed the scene of hell.
"Old... Old man, it seems a little bad. The Nordic gods have been slaughtered. Will we be the next one?"
Ares, the god of war, had sweat on his forehead and wished he could hide behind Zeus.
An atmosphere of uneasiness was also spreading in the human camp. Many people thought that the gods were going to destroy them unreasonably, but they didn't know that the gods were also in panic.
In the stands, Lu Li received another message from Sakya, "I have escaped from the alien dimension and am now at the entrance to Hell. Odin, that madman, actually unsealed the Four Supreme Gods! They are already beginning to devour Hell!"
"Master Shakya, you have performed the Lotus Rebirth on me before, so can you use the secret technique to communicate with me?"
Lu Li inquired.
"You can, but what's the use? Aren't we already in contact?"
Shakya said in confusion.
"I want to locate you."
Lu Li said, cutting through the void under Brunhilde's surprised gaze, "The dead should stay in hell, right?"
Although Shakya didn't know why Lu Li had such ability, he knew that Lu Li was no less powerful than the main god. It was always a good thing to have a helper at this time, so he directly used the secret technique to let Lu Li sense his position.
Lu Li closed his eyes and sensed for a few seconds, then opened his eyes and walked into Yomi Hirasaka. He felt relieved because Aizen was in the divine world.
After he passed through the tunnel and arrived in hell, Lu Li saw the doomsday-like spectacle.
