Chapter 823 Shadow of the Empty Space

In the original prophecy, the crown prince of Asgard would fight with the god of fear, the Serpent. In the end, the crown prince would kill the Serpent, and then he would be poisoned and die after taking a few steps.

This story was originally the story of Jörmungandr and Thor in the real universe. There is indeed a snake named Jörmungandr in Marvel, but the screenwriters still based this story, which is well-known in Europe and the United States, on the original character of the giant snake Kul.

What I have said so far is actually that the venom of the giant snake has the same characteristics as that of Jörmungandr in mythology, that is, the poison takes effect extremely quickly and is so toxic that even the Asgardians cannot resist it.

Even Odin, the king of gods who possesses the power of Odin, can only hold on for a little longer.

Odin looked at the wound on his waist with a serious expression. He no longer felt any pain in the wound. If it were not for the loss of life energy in his body and the gradual collapse of his body functions, Odin might have forgotten that he was injured.

No one in Asgard is afraid of death, even Odin who possesses supreme divine power. Odin is willing to die bravely no matter what the situation.

But he absolutely could not die in this place. As the God King of Asgard, the most powerful person in the Nine Realms, he could not just find a pit to jump into like an ordinary person, then bury himself in the soil, close his eyes and lie down to wait for death.
He is the God King, and his body contains endless power. To use Zhongting's words to describe him, almost his entire body is a treasure.

Whether it is the body or the soul, even a hair can be used in unexpected ways if it falls into the hands of the right person, and the same is true for his brother Orochi.

If he were in Asgard, he could safely leave his affairs to his people, but that was not the case in Midgard.

Odin dared to guarantee that if he closed his eyes and lay down at this moment, many things would definitely emerge from the dark corners. By then, not only the atrium, but the entire universe would be threatened.

Not to mention anything else, just talk about Hela who was in the courtyard not long ago. The mistress of the underworld of Helheim has been coveting his soul for a long time. Although she was repelled, her foundation was not damaged. Who knows if she will make a comeback.

As for those bastards lurking in the dark, let alone them, they may already be thinking about how to divide their own position.

"A pack of hyenas..." Odin cursed under his breath.

"Heimdall, move me and the snake away."

As soon as he finished speaking, a colorful light curtain fell from the sky and covered the two of them. Dust flew everywhere. When everything settled, Odin and the serpent disappeared without a trace.

After a long while, until a normal breeze blew by, one of the soldiers came to his senses. He looked up and muttered something in a low voice, but because no one spoke at the scene, his words reached everyone's ears.

"Is this really over now?"

No one could answer his question except the breeze that blew up the dust.

...

In a blank space far away from the universe, Yang Le, who had become stagnant, stood here. He did not choose to return to the earth and broke through the space just to come here.

This is a space that is not inferior to any of the ten realms. Yang Le, who has become a Najilian, can keenly feel the difference between this place and the outside world. In his eyes as a person of the 26th dimension, the structure here is very different from that of the outside world.

Unlike the colorful world outside, this place is like a blank sheet of paper. Everything is so boring, just like the masters who manage it.

Yang Le turned his head and looked behind him. It was clearly a blank space like other places, but Yang Le seemed to be examining something as if he saw something.

From the perspective of a 26-dimensional person, behind Yang Le sat a group of gigantic figures composed of white and gray shadows. There were five figures in total, each of them enormous; even the smallest one was the size of a mountain.

From their appearance, they are exactly the replicas of the gods of Asgard. The one on the far left wears a horned helmet and heavy armor like Heimdall.

The one next to him was similar to Thor, also wearing a winged helmet and a wide cloak made of shadows.

There is no one like Yang Le on the far right. He wears a helmet with a pair of small horns, which forms a sharp contrast with the big-horned bull opposite him.

Next to the little horned bull sat a shadow that looked like Loki, with a female appearance and a mask on his face, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or sad.

These shadows are clustered around the largest shadow sitting in the middle. It seems that he should be the strongest and most important one, because his appearance is almost a replica of Odin.

With a full beard and a helmet with two long feathers, even Odin himself would be stunned for a moment.

But unlike the gods of Asgard, these shadows have no color and look like stick figures drawn on white paper.

Of course, this is just what these mysterious creatures look like from a normal perspective. Yang Le can see more by simply switching the perspective.

But just being able to see the other person was enough. Yang Le really didn't want to see the abstract thing made up of all kinds of things that day again. It looked like something that Junji Ito or Go Nagai could draw.

Looking at these things for one longer will give you nightmares. Who said that people from lower dimensions will go crazy when they see people from higher dimensions? Isn't this the exact opposite?
"Discourteous person."

Just when Yang Le was feeling disgusted, the shadow of Thor, who looked not much different from others, spoke.

"Who allowed you to look directly at the noble body of the God of Gods? You should kneel down, and then..."

"Where's your horse?"

Yang Le interrupted Shadow's words with a point in the air, and the latter stopped speaking, as if the pause button was pressed, and maintained that posture and could not move.

"I'm giving you face. You're just thankful that I didn't kill you the moment I showed up. You're still pretending to be me. You don't know what you're talking about."

The ability Yang Le displayed casually obviously scared the group of shadows. Except for the shadow in the middle who looked similar to Odin, the others all showed surprised expressions.

"Stranger guest," Odin's shadow said. "While we may have said the wrong thing, it's ultimately your fault for intruding into our territory."

"I'm coming in. What do you want?" Yang Le spread his hands and started rolling the knife.

He is just like that. He will try to reason with people he cares about. But for this group of people he doesn't care about, he prefers to just listen and not talk.

Odin Shadow was silent for a moment before speaking again.

"We want to stop the unnecessary fighting and would like to share the next meal with you."
