Chapter 540 Odin's Envy

At the seaside port of Asgard, it is a world of torches tonight.

The stars in the sky were dim.

Only at the end of the ocean under the night sky was there a thin layer of light.

All the Asgardians stood silently on the shore, holding burning torches.

The flickering flames illuminated their faces and were reflected in their eyes.

The wizards from Kamar-Taj also held torches and looked at Odin together with the Asgardians.

Odin was already on the boat for his burial at sea.

It was a small boat that looked very similar to a Viking warship, with its head and stern raised high, like a sea snake. It was just big enough for Odin to lie flat.

There were clusters of flowers and various kinds of armor and robes on the boat.

Most of them are old friends who have accompanied Odin for many years.

Generally speaking.

Only the Asgardians who died in battle.

Only then would they be placed on such a small boat, set on fire and float into the sea.

The moment the body burned out.

The souls of the dead warriors will also enter Valhalla and share eternal glory with their ancestors.

Odin is a guy who didn't die in battle, and he's not even dead yet, but he's just lying on the boat.

Normally, you cannot enter Valhalla.

But Valhalla belongs to him, and he can enter in any posture he wants.

A feeling of sadness permeated among the Asgardians.

No one spoke.

But the unbearable pain and confusion were in their eyes, clearly illuminated by the firelight.

The goddess Frigga hugged Thor and Loki on each side, it was so touching.

Even Loki showed sadness at this moment.

Even though he is a household name on Earth, every movie he makes tries to discredit Thor and Odin.

But his heart is in Asgard after all.

He may not realize it.

But it is what it is.

No matter how well Loki does on Earth or how much attention he gets, that place does not belong to him.

Everything he had was in Asgard, in those rows of tall, shining buildings, with Thor, Odin and Frigga.

Loki was very sad, let alone Thor.

The golden-haired strong man had tears in his eyes, which he wiped with his palms from time to time.

Unlike in the original timeline, this Thor has lost a loved one for the first time.

The atmosphere of sorrow was so thick that even the mages of Kamar-Taj were infected.

Even the most jumpy Pietro was quiet at this moment.

Lyon is fine.

He knew that after Odin died and went to Valhalla, he could "live" more easily.

But he couldn't understand why Odin had to die at this time.

And he died voluntarily.

In the divine timeline, Odin was supposed to have died in Norway on Earth in 2017.

How come in his case, Odin woke up from a six-year sleep and died in 2015?

Leon cast a puzzled look at the old figure sitting on the boat.

He suddenly had an illusion.

I feel that this God King Odin, at some point, is a bit like the coquettish Odin in the dragon world.

After all, the deceased personally invited others to the funeral.

Let everyone go to the scene, wait for him to die, and then say "rest in peace" to him.

No matter how you think about it, this kind of thing is a bit too advanced and too coquettish.

When Leon first received the invitation.

There is still one second.

I thought Odin was reminding him to return the artifact.

If it is not returned, the old man will fight to the death on Earth like an elderly saint holding an imperial weapon.

But Odin was clearly really preparing to die.

The old man, wearing a gorgeous robe, sat hunched over in the boat, looking at the sea horizon, as if he was lingering to take one last look at the world.

The sadness and reluctance in him surged out like a tide.

Anyone could see that he was ready to die in the sea at any moment.

Everyone waited silently.

Some were sobbing and some were mourning silently.

Odin looked out to sea for a long time.

Suddenly he twisted his waist and looked back.

"Sir Leon, can you come to me?" Odin's voice was very gentle.

He hadn't spoken in that tone for perhaps hundreds of years.

The tone was not that of a god-king, but rather like that of an old fisherman in "The Old Man and the Sea" who had just finished fighting with a school of sharks and was dragging his heavy body back to the shore.

"of course."

Leon held the torch and slowly walked to Odin's side.

Looking at Odin's weathered face.

He thought about it.

I didn't say anything naughty like I will support your wife.

Instead, he started talking nonsense: "Old buddy, if you think that if you don't get the artifact back, you will be ashamed of the previous God Kings, so you plan to die, then there is actually no need to do this."

"I have already used up the Eternal Flame and the Frost Box. If you want, I will return them to you. But you have to tell me. How can I know if you don't tell me?"

"Although I agreed to borrow it for five years, I borrowed it for six years and didn't pay it back. But that doesn't mean I forgot about it."

"The matter of the two artifacts is not something you can apologize for with your death, Odin."

Odin was immersed in the gloom of his impending death.

After hearing Leon's dirty talk, he couldn't hold it anymore.

His cheeks twitched, and he looked at Leon with his weathered eyes, almost joining in the complaints.

But he opened and closed his mouth several times and finally held it back.

"The two artifacts are of no importance, Lord Lyon."

Odin turned his head and looked towards the sea.

"Then why are you planning to go to Valhalla in advance?" Leon asked.

Odin sighed slightly.

"I heard from other dimensions in Odin's Sleep that you saved the multiverse crisis not long ago and have reached the height of Vishanti."

"That's right." Lyon nodded.

"Then you should know better than me that in the near future, this world may face unimaginable crises."

Odin sighed, "I gave Thor the temper and Loki the choice, all for Ragnarok."

"But in the face of a greater crisis, Ragnarok is nothing."

"Thor needs more growth and more power."

"Asgard no longer needs me. What it needs is a god-king who is superior to me."

Odin's words made Leon suddenly realize.

It turns out that Odin is ready to give all his power to Thor.

"I see. It's a wise decision," said Lyon.

Odin smiled and said, "Sir Leon, you don't have to return the two artifacts. Please consider them as Asgard's most sincere gift."

"There is also our treasure house. If there is anything in it that you can use, feel free to take it away."

Leon laughed: "Do you think Asgard is finished and you are ready to divide the property quickly?"

Odin's eyes flickered. "The long years have taught me that sharing fruits with allies is the right choice."

"Really? But it's a little late to share." Leon shook his head. He knew what Odin wanted to say.

"Yes, it's too late. I should have tied everything in Asgard to you when we first met."

Odin no longer concealed his envy and expressed it nakedly.

"Ancient One is a more qualified guardian than me. Her vision is much better than mine."

"Haha, Master Ancient One may not agree with what you said."

Leon joked, “She is still hanging in our academy, telling the students the new wifi password every day.”
