Chapter 758 The Origin of Fear - Every Family Has Its Own Problems

"There's no way this can be kept secret."

Yang Le spread his hands and said, "Thor is not just a reckless fighter. He must be able to sense the changes happening around him. Not to mention that the arrival of the Sky Hammer is what those behind the scenes wanted to see."

"You can't keep it a secret from Thor forever, not to mention that Loki has already..."

"Maybe." Odin interrupted Yang Le. He stood up from the throne with sadness on his face.

"I can't watch my children kill each other, nor can I watch my children do something that will surely lead to their death."

"You're denying Thor's entire life," Yang Le retorted. "Thor wouldn't be happy to hear that. He's a true Asgardian. He's never afraid of danger, and even death can be faced with a smile."

"What he fears is dying in vain. If this is something he must do, even at the cost of his life, Thor will do it without hesitation."

"Do you think I don't understand my son?"

Odin was furious. This was the first time Yang Le saw the King of Gods lose his temper.

"It's because I know he will die bravely that I dare not tell him. A father cannot watch his child die!"

The death of a loved one is one of the most tragic things in the world, and it may be the most unacceptable thing for Odin today.

"So you're going to let your child become a coward who takes countless lives and then runs away?"

This sentence is very unpleasant to hear. Even if Yang Le thought so in his heart, he would not say it out loud, so there must be someone else who said this.

Yang Le turned around and saw a woman in a simple blue dress. It was Frigga, the Queen of Asgard.

"Frigga? Why are you here? I clearly..."

"You clearly told the guards to keep an eye on me. I'm the Queen of Asgard. I can go wherever I want. Even you, the God King, can't dictate that."

Frigga obviously knew what had happened, so she didn't give Odin a good look when she arrived. The latter did not vent his anger on her, but just shook his head with a little fatigue.

"You don't understand Frigga. If you run into the giant snake Thor, you'll die."

"I know. Don't think of me as a lady who only does laundry and cleans the house."

Frigga interrupted Odin again and said, "Don't forget that before I married you, I was a member of the Vanir. I participated in many wars, including the rise and fall of the Great Serpent."

"I have informed Thor, and he is now rushing back to Asgard."

"What?" Odin's one eye widened. "How could you call him back at this time?"

"If you don't ask him to come back, are you going to let him be trapped in the war game you set for him?" Frigga sneered.

"Are you senile, Odin? You didn't save the people of the Nine Realms, but instead let your army play house with your own son!"

Yang Le understood. Odin had probably informed Thor's army to feign a fight with something, to trick Thor into thinking there was a constant battle on the border, preventing him from withdrawing. However, this was just a temporary solution. Thor was no fool; he would soon discover the flaw. Perhaps Odin was just trying to delay the situation for as long as possible.

"I have begun to gather my forces," Odin explained. "I will not leave the Nine Realms to the Serpent's will."

Frigga said, "What's the point? If we don't deal with the snake, there will never be a conclusion. This will only lead to more casualties."

"But I can't just watch my child die!" Odin spread his hands. "You're also the child's mother, so you should understand how I feel, right?"

"Of course I understand. Although Thor and Loki are not my own children, I have always treated them as my own flesh and blood."

A barely perceptible sadness appeared on Frigga's face.

"But because I love them, I will not let my children live in the pain of sin for the rest of their lives because of my own selfish desires."

"Do you think Thor will be happy after you used your method to keep him alive? No, you will only destroy him. I can foresee what the child will look like now. He might even commit suicide!"

When the word "suicide" was mentioned, both Odin and Frigga couldn't help but tremble. Suicide is one of the most cowardly ways to die in any martial race. It is the choice to end one's life because one cannot overcome the disaster.

Asgardians who choose to die in this way will not be able to go to Valhalla and can only become wandering ghosts. Even Hela would not like such souls.

"Do you want your son to die like a coward?"

Facing Frigga's questioning, Odin's upright posture finally collapsed. At this moment, he really looked like an ordinary old man.

After a moment, Odin said, "I understand. I will ask Thor's opinion. If this is what he wishes, I will not stop him."

"It should have been done long ago." Frigga wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, then turned and said to Yang Le, who had been invisible.

"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

"Not at all." Yang Le shook his head. "It's worth my trip to see the Queen of Heaven."

"I was just scolding an old man to wake him up," Frigga waved her hand. "Child, the war is coming soon. Asgard will form an alliance with Vanaheim and Nidavellir, but the enemy may be far more numerous than I expected, so I hope you can do your best to unite the nations of Midgard."

"I know." Yang Le nodded. "Not long ago, I already won over one of the most powerful nations in Central Asia. I'm sure this will help me win over many other nations to join the fight."

If you want others to help you, you must first learn to save yourself. No matter how hard others try, they cannot save those who have no desire to survive. This is why we must first use talk therapy when facing those who are at the end of their rope. As long as the desire to survive is aroused, everything will be easy.

"Go back, child," Odin said apologetically. "Now that all the Sky Hammers have fallen into Midgard, these creatures will seek out the most suitable individuals to become Sky Hammer Masters. They are a force to be reckoned with. You must inform the people of Midgard as soon as possible to resist."

...

While Yang Le and Odin were talking, the Sky Hammers all fell to the earth as they had expected. Such a dense concentration of alien objects certainly alarmed all countries and all walks of life, but the people around the Sky Hammers reacted earlier than them.
