He's in Marvel, working behind the scenes.

"But this will cause countless deaths!"

The girl also stared at Gu Qing, her brown eyes fixed on his gaze, "Even, the world might be destroyed because of this."

"This is already on the verge of world destruction!"

Gu Qing said frankly, "Nowadays, the creatures of Earth can only hide on the continent of Atlantis, relying on the concealment effect of Stonehenge to eke out a living."

But the demons will eventually discover the location of Atlantis, and a war between Earth and the alien demons is inevitable.

Whenever war breaks out, we are the weaker, disadvantaged party. Whenever war breaks out, countless lives will be lost, and there is a risk of world destruction.

But this war that I started is undoubtedly one with an extremely high chance of victory.

"...You're right!"

The girl and Gu Qing stared at each other for a long time before the girl nodded in agreement.

The peace and prosperity on the continent of Atlantis are merely illusions created to escape external disasters, and they will be shattered sooner or later.

This day was bound to come sooner or later.

Rather than passively accepting, it's better to prepare and take the initiative.

but……

"How can I defeat Surtur?"

Chapter 247 Odin's Sword

Surtur—

It is the oldest being born in the Nine Realms, the terminator that brought twilight to the gods in prophecy, with unfathomable strength, which even the gods do not want to provoke.

How are they supposed to kill someone like that?

In other words, if we had the strength to defeat Surtur, there would be no need to start a war.

While the power to kill Surtur might not be enough to directly confront all the demons, it was sufficient to hit and run.

“I’m not the only one who wants Surtur’s life!” Gu Qing said with a mysterious smile.

Morgan seemed to be deep in thought.

……

Atlantis.

The holy city of Norway.

This is the city of the Asgardians, inhabited by the Asgardian gods, Vanir gods, dwarves, light elves, and other races.

Of course, there are other races as well.

But the main ones are these races that exist in Norse mythology.

The Golden Palace is the residence of the God-King.

After Gu Qing and his party explained their purpose, a guard led them to the Royal Hall.

Odin, the king of the gods, sat on his throne—this Odin was still very young, only about thirty years old, and the single eye patch on his head gave him an aura of dominance.

"Welcome to the Golden Palace, future savior..."

After exchanging pleasantries, Odin cut to the chase: "Future saviors, have you encountered any trouble during your visit to Asgard?"

"We have indeed encountered difficulties and need Your Majesty's help," Gu Qing said bluntly without any politeness.

This surprised Odin.

I was just being polite, and you're not going to be polite with me at all?

After a moment's thought, Odin said, "Your willingness to stand up for the world is a righteous act worthy of everyone's admiration. Since coming to this world, you have spared no effort in cleaning up the demons... As long as it is beneficial to this world, we will naturally have no choice but to do our duty."

The implication is: if it's for your own selfish desires, then don't come to me.

Of course, that's one way of saying it.

But if things are simple, this god-king wouldn't mind doing a favor for the savior.

But if it's difficult, then forget it.

"That's natural."

Gu Qing's lips curled up slightly.

Odin's reaction was exactly what he expected.

At this time, Odin was still the overlord who wanted to conquer everything, and he acted based on self-interest.

But what he is about to do is beneficial to Asgard.

"The demons have started to gather unusually. I want to take down a heavyweight before they can gather."

"Oh, who is it?"

Odin was somewhat dismissive.

It's not that he looks down on people.

In reality, Gu Qing has spent most of the past six months hunting small fry; someone like EGLS is already at the strongest level.

Even if this group of small-time slackers suddenly announced they were going to make a big move, no one would think their so-called big move would be that big.

but……

“Surtur”.

"What!?"

Upon hearing the familiar name uttered by the young man in the hall, Odin jumped to his feet, his face filled with astonishment.

"Surtur, the destroyer from the doomsday prophecy!"

Gu Qing looked at the God King whose expression had changed drastically and smiled slightly. "Even among the most powerful demon gods, Surtur is an extremely powerful being. If we can successfully hunt him down, it will be a great morale booster for the Earth faction."

"...Just you guys?"

Odin was shocked for a moment, then came to his senses and gave a dismissive snort, "Which of the strong on Earth doesn't know what you're talking about?"

But nobody did it, because it was impossible to succeed.

"Since no one has ever done it before, how can we conclude that it cannot succeed?"

"Kid, trying to pull these tricks on me?"

Odin stared coldly at Gu Qing, his terrifying divine power surging, causing the entire Asgard to tremble.

The guards rushed in.

"Of course I wouldn't dare to mock His Majesty the God-King!"

Gu Qing bowed slightly, appearing very humble, but his tone remained unchanged, "We naturally know that our strength is insignificant and we cannot succeed, which is why we are asking His Majesty the God King for help."

Odin was surprised.

He had thought Gu Qing would try to provoke him into helping, but instead, Gu Qing directly asked for his assistance. This made his goodwill towards Gu Qing, which had declined due to Gu Qing's overestimation of his abilities, rise again.

If Gu Qing uses reverse psychology.

Then His Majesty the God-King will show him just how miserable the consequences will be for trying to fool the King of the Gods.

But now...

"I can't help you."

After a moment's thought, Odin refused the request.

In the language, Surtur brings twilight to the gods of Asgard.

How could Odin not want to get rid of him?

However, it's simply impossible.

Not to mention that the Demon Gods' forces are now far stronger than those of Earth's faction, Asgard, as one of Earth's factions, has no chance of fighting Surtur fairly.

Even if they do, the outcome is still uncertain.

“As the Almighty Heavenly Father, His Majesty the God-King has important responsibilities and cannot act rashly, which we naturally understand…” Gu Qing said to Odin, “But this operation is mainly led by us, and His Majesty the God-King only needs to provide some assistance in terms of combat power, which will be enough.”

"you?"

Odin looked at Gu Qing suspiciously for a while, then turned his gaze to Morgan and shook his head, "No, even with the two of you plus my best assets, we still can't defeat Surtur."

"And what about the person outside?"

As Gu Qing finished speaking, a terrifying aura erupted, sweeping through the Immortal Palace like a solar storm, making the entire Norwegian Holy Domain seem to be perched on a volcano.

Odin's expression changed. He looked outside, his gaze transcending obstacles and distance, and saw the man radiating terrifying flames. "Is that person one of yours too?"

"Yes, he was the main force in this battle."

"In that case, it's somewhat interesting to watch."

Odin nodded slightly.

The power that person displayed was undoubtedly at the level of a Godfather. Although it was only a slight leap to that level, it was still at the level of a Godfather, and one had the right to have an equal dialogue with him.

Yet this person obeyed Gu Qing's orders...

It seems this future savior isn't as bad as he appears on the surface!

Odin looked at Gu Qing with a smile on his face, "Future savior, since you are determined to rid this world of a scourge, we gods will naturally lend our full support."

As he spoke, he stood up and drew a longsword that radiated a blue light. "This sword is named after me, the 'Sword of Odin,' forged from the Ring of the Nibelung and possessing powerful cursed energy. It can help you defeat Surtur."

"I……"

Gu Qing opened her mouth, as if to say "p".

Why are you giving me a sword?

Do you want me to go head-to-head with Surtur?

Damn it, I wanted your daughter to come and help.
