From the God of Lies to the Lord of All Worlds

Chapter 180 Pan-Viking Alliance

"Wow, as an interpreter of mythology, doesn't he know what this kind of prayer means?" Even Bai Yang was amazed by his courage upon hearing this.

By this time, they had already arrived in Italy, yet they were still moved by this prayer and turned their gaze toward it from afar.

Reykjavik, a city he thought was finished, is actually undergoing new changes!
"Perhaps... it's because they know this that they chose to pray this way?" Alvin analyzed. "Your Majesty, shall we reply as usual?"

"As usual? No, no, no!" Bai Yang shook his head. "Let the divine fire do it, let them choose their own development, instead of relying on our guidance! That old man is really smart, he chose the perfect time!"

Torre chose a very good time, because this is the weakest point in Reykjavik in a hundred years, and also the weakest point in Iceland as a whole.

The entire government seems to have been completely paralyzed, leaving the city still suffering and struggling desperately!

However, this was also the weakest moment for the surrounding major powers in this country!
Torre clearly noticed that the footholds of those great powers in this country had vanished entirely because of this catastrophe of desire.

The real driving force behind those great powers, the so-called "all-female" political arena in this country, is now completely silent. So he risked his life to try to open a new path for his nation!
After all, everyone knows that Odin's own sacrifices were so terrible and tragic, and the prayers offered to him would only be more horrifying.

Therefore, in the Nordic region, only pre-death rituals and pre-battle prayers involve making wishes to Odin.

But now, this healthy old man, who clearly has an even brighter future ahead of him, stubbornly chose to pray. At this moment when the crisis has just been resolved and the dragon slayer has just gained immense international prestige, he chose to pray to the King of Gods!

He wanted to define this matter, to liberate the nation from the shadow of a great power, from the protection of a dragon slayer, but from the glory of the gods!
He had a big mind and his ideas were incredibly passionate, even more radical than those of young people. However, this radicalism did not arouse the resentment of those behind the scenes!

“True Odin followers never pray for exemption from suffering, but only for the most profound pain of awakening!” Bai Yang said indifferently. “Since he wants to pray, we will pray for him; if he wants to grant a promise, we will grant it!”

“Odin’s divine gifts are never peaceful, but if he can truly withstand such pain, Odin’s divine grace will certainly not be stingy!”

"This is the path of sacrifice of the God of War, symbolized by the runes (Tiwaz)!"

Alvin bowed his head. "As you wish, Your Majesty, he will experience the most intense awakening. If he can survive this awakening, the Heart of Odin will guide his path!"

……

An hour later, in Reykjavik, the ruins of the National Bank.

The agents did not appear here; they had already departed for their respective countries with the two ornaments in their hands.

One of them came from Torre. When he was captured, the ring had already been removed. To prevent that strange power from affecting his people, Gao specially put it in a beechwood box.

The shape of this box comes from the box belonging to the Leon Ranchoche family, the legendary box used to store sacred relics.

Even if it's a replica, it was blessed by Father Angus in a church, so it can certainly retain the power of the ring.

Now, they are flying to America with the box, the dragon, and information about the dragon slayer, to await the golden retriever's judgment.

As for the other ornament, it was transported by the Goose's agents.

Their shipping method is extremely rudimentary; they rely entirely on human transport and put people in restraint devices on them. If the transporter shows even the slightest adverse reaction, they will be stunned by an electric shock, and then a new person will take over!

Through this cyclical manipulation, they actually managed to transport this extraordinary item and successfully deliver it to the experiment in Moscow.

So the first to arrive here were the Reykjavik police force, which had been painstakingly assembled and completed temporary training—these officers, who usually spent their time walking cats and playing with dogs, had managed to form a complete unit and come before Olafur.

"Dear Mr. Ólavel, thank you for everything you have done for our country. The Icelandic Parliament extends its sincerest invitation to you, hoping that you can join us in discussing the future of this nation!"

"It's a representative of the police force," a policewoman said loudly, her eyes filled with undisguised reverence!

After all, unlike the scrutinizing and sour feelings of people from other countries, the fact that his identity was revealed and that he got out of the American's car in the surveillance footage to protect the city was enough to make every person who truly loves this country excited and overjoyed!
In this era where extraordinary abilities are just beginning to emerge, the fact that their nation possesses such a powerful dragon slayer is an incredibly exciting thing for anyone! This is a powerful extraordinary being, the future of their nation, and the source of their confidence in speaking with other nations!
Olafur did not choose to leave with them. Instead, under the watchful eyes of the police, he walked to a nearby street and helped up an elderly man who was about to fall.

"Professor, are you alright?" he asked anxiously. Torre was in a "muddy" state, and even with Olaf's strength, it was difficult to help him up.

Torre grinned, revealing an ugly smile, but he seemed incredibly happy. "I'm fine, Olafel, I'm fine!"

He opened the book in his hand, showed Olaf the page he had turned to, and said softly, "I prayed to Odin, and in the final moments of my life, He answered my prayer!"

"The great and revered God-King told me that from this moment on, the descendants of the Vikings will be protected by the Aesir... We finally... finally... have a prayer that can be answered!"

His words were weak, his voice was low, but his emotions were incredibly joyful! It was the joy of a wish being fulfilled!
Upon hearing this, Olafell's face flashed with horror. "Wait, Professor... you prayed to Odin?"

He knew, of course, what this meant. In Norse mythology, the slightest price to pay for praying to Odin was the death of one person. Could it be...?

“Yes, child, I am about to die!” Professor Torre said calmly, handing him the book. “Give this book to Denmark; it is the last thing I can do for my homeland… And you, under the protection of the gods, will move forward anew!”

"The gods?" Olafel said in surprise, "The gods mean..."

The next second, he suddenly raised his head and saw a raven slowly landing in front of him—at the same time, in the remaining three Nordic countries, a raven and two frost wolves also slowly descended!

"The God-King has issued a divine decree; He has granted your prayer. The gaze of the Father of Gods will now fall upon the human world!" they said simultaneously.

In Malmö, where the Norse pantheon of beliefs has been established, King Gustav XVI, who was conversing with Percival, directly saw the radiance emanating from Freya, who was receiving a divine oracle in the church nearby!

The old man in front of Olafel then uttered the strongest words of his life!

"The gods mean that they know! The divine decree has descended upon the land of the Norse gods!"

"While the people of other countries haven't reacted yet, let's get this done! My child, go and get this done!"

Torre Erikra held Olafur's hand and slowly closed his eyes; life vanished the moment he closed them.

The old man is gone, but what he left behind is a united national spirit!

……

Three days later, in Stockholm, the capital of Sweden.

The Swedish king's online speech has become one of the most powerful notes heard by people in Scandinavia recently.

"We are the descendants of the gods, the offspring of the heavenly beings. Behind us stands not nothingness, but Yggdrasil, the god of all gods, the master of the pantheon, the king of the gods—Odin!"

"The Vikings must rise again, and the people of Midgard must unite under the banner of the gods to restore the glory of a thousand years ago!"

"The gods have answered our prayers. From this day forward, we should renew the Viking covenant and rebuild the power of our faith!"

"Let's start with us, let's start now, let's start from here!"

If he had said this before the gods descended, many people would have thought he had gone mad, but now that he has said it, many people have become fanatical and agitated!
They were Vikings, a people of pirates, powerful followers of the Norse gods. If such a day were to come, why not?
At the end of the king's speech, he brought out a figure that amazed everyone, a young man named Olafur Thorsen, who also had an even more familiar name:
A descendant of Sigurd the Dragon Slayer, the current Dragon Slayer, the savior of Iceland, the honorary mayor of Reykjavik, and a well-deserved modern hero!
The first thing Olafur said after stepping forward shocked the world with his groundbreaking declaration: "We solemnly announce to the world that the five Nordic countries have officially withdrawn from the European Union and formed the Pan-Viking Union!"

Behind him emerged the heads of state of the remaining three nations, and in front of them lay the cold, stiff corpse of a giant dragon!

They are ready, in the name of Odin, the king of the Aesir!
