Foolish Brother Odin

Chapter 124 Poisoning
The death of Jiaode was a common occurrence for giants. In those days, people fought and killed each other all the time. Either you killed me or I chopped you down.

The giants, who are generally simple-minded, don't care whether the Queen of Gods is still there or not. They just want the glory to belong to the giants.

Moreover, with this battle, they completely overwhelmed the pure-blooded Aesir gods in momentum and became the undisputed first camp.

They burst into loud cheers.

The pure-blooded Aesir secretly breathed a sigh of relief, they knew that the King of Gods had let them off.

If you don't know what's good for you, then you'll be shameless and will be punished.

The mercy of the God-King has its limits.

They admitted defeat very simply and shouted:
"The glory of Queen Jiaode will live forever!"

"Long live His Royal Highness Crown Prince Thor!"

In this way, a riot that could have easily caused civil strife among the Aesir was resolved by Downs in a quick and decisive manner.

Unexpectedly, the rumors did not stop.

The latest rumor is: "Odin, the King of Jotunheim, has become ambitious and is trying to covet the throne of the God King."

This rumor made actor Downs very angry. He raged in public:

"Who on earth is the bastard who used such a cruel method to alienate the relationship between us brothers? I raised Odin by myself! I saved his life from the evil giants countless times. How could he do such an ungrateful thing?! How could I, Tang Si, revoke Odin's title of king because of such a false rumor? Damn rumormonger, forget it!"

Tang Si rarely ordered the Valkyries to go out, and they quickly arrested several gods who spread rumors and executed them in public. They even imprisoned their souls and did not allow them to go to Helheim to be punished or reincarnate.

After the first rumor spread, the Aesir and the giants generally did not believe it.

The blood ties of the Aesir can rise to the level of world laws.

After all, every time Tangs is crowned king, he needs to obtain the approval of the world's will, and only the one who is crowned by him is qualified to borrow the power of that world.

This kind of rumor actually aims to shake the order of the entire world.

The reason why rumors are so powerful is that they are fabricated or rewritten based on some facts.

No one will believe rumors that have no factual basis.

However, the target of this rumor was not the pure-blooded Æsir or the giants, but Odin!

Interestingly, Loki, who had played with both Towns and Odin, delivered the winning shot.

"Cousin Odin? He is a very thoughtful guy! As the second son of the Paul family, he is inevitably compared with His Majesty Tang Si. Unfortunately, he will always be the worse one. Well, if there was no Tang Si, perhaps Odin would also be a good God King. What a pity. As for Odin, uh, I don't think Odin has the courage."

Loki is famous for his big mouth, and now that he has been transferred back from Odin by Downs (this is not a feudal system, it’s not that particular), he has even less taboos.

As I said, the truth is the sharpest knife!

The gods are a bit fried.

No, what achievements have you made, Odin? Do you think you can become the king of gods?

This is a rumor! It's a rumor, right?

After hearing the news, Odin in the replica of the Golden Palace could no longer sit still.

If all the rumors come true, they are no longer rumors, but prophecies!
"Mimir! What should I do? Could it be that big brother found out that it was me who did it last time, and now big brother is fighting back?" Odin shook Mimir's head hard, his hands trembling slightly.

Mimir felt it deeply.

Odin, you want the benefits but don't want to bear the consequences. How can it be so easy?
After thinking for a while, Mimir advised: "Odin! Don't even think about it. Under the current order, you can't defeat His Majesty the God King!"

Mimir's advice was well-intentioned, but it was a different story for Odin, who was listening with care. The existing order?

Then why don't I just break the existing order?
The fire of arrogance spread endlessly in Odin's heart.

Even though he knew that fratricide would likely lead to the collapse of order and the anger of the world's will, he would still do some things.

Just like in the epic, when he learned that his successor Balder was killed, he turned around and trained the god of revenge Vali to kill Hoder. He also locked Loki and used poisonous snake venom to continuously corrode Loki's face until Ragnarok came... Odin is a guy who is controlled by his emotions.

He resented staying in this desolate frozen land, and was jealous of his eldest brother for occupying the best Asgard. He was even jealous of his idiot third brother, who was brainless but could occupy the Feng Shui treasure land of Vanaheim.

Among the three brothers, he is the worst off.

This extreme mental imbalance distorted his heart.

Perhaps, because of this, the power of chaos also quietly and silently invaded his heart...

Half a month later, it will be the New Year of the Aesir.

The gods and giants temporarily forgot the previous rumors and began to hold grand New Year celebrations.

On this day, the entire Asgard was decorated with lights and hung with celebratory decorations in the style of the Aesir.

As usual, Downes held a grand banquet in the Palace of Joy.

Dozens of palace gates, large and small, were opened to welcome the messengers from the lower world.

The mortal kings sent envoys to present gifts to the supreme God-King.

Magical gold ornaments from Svartalheim; requiem charms from Helheim; fresh fish from Vanaheim; fresh honey from Alfheim...

Each mortal race brought out its best.

The goddesses showed their courtesy to the God King one by one and came to toast him.

However, when Frigga handed over a glass of freshly brewed beer, Frey, who was sitting not far away, suddenly frowned.

"Wait, what kind of wine is this?"

"Beer? Made from the latest harvest of Midgard's 'Golden Wheat'."

"No! This taste is wrong!" As the god of fertility, Frey is extremely sensitive to food.

Tang Si frowned: "Gulveig!"

The magic goddess from Vanaheim quickly cast a small spell, and then her face changed drastically: "Wait! The wine is poisonous!"

As soon as these words came out, all the blood drained from Frigga's face. "This is impossible. I got this new wine specially from the priest of Midgard. I personally checked it when I opened it yesterday. No, Your Majesty, I am not, I don't..."

Assassinating the God King is a matter that involves too many things.

The pure-blooded Aesir line had just suffered a blow, how could they bear the consequences of such a shocking incident?
"No! It's not you, Frigga!" Towns made a firm conclusion.

This made Frigga feel a little relieved.

Without waiting for the commotion to escalate, Downs stood up suddenly, and the divine voice spread far to the end of the Rainbow Bridge: "Heimdall! Check the palaces of my two brothers in Vanaheim and Jotunheim immediately."

"Yes--" Heimdall didn't know why the God King suddenly gave such a tense order. He still did it.

At the same time, Willy, who accepted the toast from the former Vanir Queen Narsus with a silly laugh, drank the wine in one gulp.
