Monsters: Evolving from Titans to Ancient Gods.

As for when to leave, that depends on when you get tired of it, or when you get kicked out.

A dozen minutes later, Longbo returned to the magnificent halls of the Asgardian palace and sat down on the throne once more.

The two ravens remained, perched on Longbo's shoulders, emitting strange, beeping sounds that echoed through the palace. However, the guards in golden armor around them showed no surprise, as if they were used to it.

"Father, why did you call us back?!"

Several figures appeared outside the palace. The people were still far away, but a loudspeaker-like voice had already sounded.

As Longbo's gaze extended, three figures entered the magnificent hall, the one leading them being Longbo's eldest daughter, Hela.

Following behind her was a tall man wearing armless armor, with long brown hair and a stubble-covered face.

Thor, the god of war in Norse mythology, is even more powerful than Odin, the chief god. But here, he is just a silly-looking young man with a silly grin on his face.

In Longbo's opinion, he looked somewhat like himself, but because of the beard, he looked older than Longbo is now.

Loki quietly followed beside Thor. As an adopted son, he didn't look much like Hela and Thor; his handsome face was more gloomy.

He wore a dark green robe, and his helmet was decorated with the same winding horn-like ornaments as Longbo's horns. He possessed astonishing magical energy.

Here, his claim of being the number one mage in the Nine Realms might have some merit, but it's unclear whether he, like in the show, enjoys pulling out a dagger and engaging in close combat.

Lumberjack's gaze lingered on Loki for a moment, his expression gradually becoming subtle.

"The power of time remains."

Longbo noticed that Loki had subtle residual time fluctuations on his body. If Longbo hadn't also been proficient in the laws of time, he probably wouldn't have been able to detect it so easily.

But Lumberjack also keenly noticed that this fluctuation in time did not have much of an impact on Loki.

Judging from the blank and confused expression on Loki's face, he didn't seem to realize this.

Clearly, these three are Longbo's projections, his offspring in this universe, and the three children who caught Longbo off guard.

Say it's not your own child.

They are also his own projected children, and these two biological children look similar to him, giving him a sense of blood connection.

However, before arriving here, although all beings in the other dimension could be called their offspring, Longbo had no direct offspring, and the priestess also had no offspring throughout her life.

Although in this memory, Longbo received all the emotions, the memories of being with his children, and felt emotions that did not seem fake, he did not know of their existence before he arrived here.

This made Longbo feel very strange.

Fortunately, his projection didn't actually find a superstar, otherwise, Longbo wouldn't know what to do.

Just as Longbo was scrutinizing him, the three of them came to his side. Looking at the young face that came into view, they were all extremely surprised.

“Father, your appearance…” Loki was the first to speak, his eyes filled with doubt and confusion.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, the great god-king Odin had always looked old and didn't seem to have many years left to live.

But now that he had gone out for a while, his father looked young again, which caught Loki completely off guard.

Hela also fell into deep thought, remaining silent, but her eyes were filled with longing. Years ago, her father, who had led her to conquer the universe and various dimensions, was in the same posture.

Compared to Loki and Hela, Thor's focus was particularly peculiar. Faced with Luna's change, he expressed great shock: "Odin above, where is your great beard??"

This peculiar focus of attention silenced Longbo.

But in the end, Longbo ignored this point and directly stated his purpose in recalling them.

Cultivating feelings isn't the kind of work that's suitable for someone like Longbo who's been single for ages. There'll be plenty of time to do that later; right now, the most important thing is planning.

"I'm going to reclaim the Infinity Stones, and I want you to be my vanguard, to bring them back to me."

As Lunabrück's voice faded, Loki and Thor both looked shocked. In their memory, their father had gradually become more benevolent and rarely mentioned war and violence.

But at this moment, he unexpectedly announced that he would rejoin the fight for the Infinity Stones, catching them completely off guard.

“Yes, Great God-King!” Hela was taken aback at first, then knelt down without hesitation, her slightly lowered face showing an expectant smile.

She was someone who loved fighting and war. Although she felt regret for being forced to give up after witnessing her father's injury, it did not mean that she had given up her desires.

The physical war was over, but the flames of war in her heart never died out.

Originally, she only planned to wait for her father to return to Valhalla, then ascend the throne and launch a new war against the universe and many dimensions.

But now that Father also wants to seize the Infinity Stones, that's perfect.

She glanced at the blank-headed girl beside her, clearly displeased, taking in their reactions. While feeling frustrated and disappointed, she also felt a little relieved.

Compared to themselves, these children born after the war still lacked the tempering of iron and fire, and the despair stained by blood and death.

However, there are reasons for this.

After all, not everyone is like me, able to enjoy my father's nurturing and love for three thousand years.

During the three thousand years her father spent alone, she received his unreserved nurturing and affection.

For thousands of years, he was his father’s only striker, a sharp blade that his father could trust without reservation, and his most beloved heir.

Without a doubt, he was his father's most beloved son and the person he trusted most.

only…

Hela suddenly recalled the information she had just received from that voice, her brows furrowed slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in her heart.

"Father... Outer God... a part of him?"

Hela was lost in thought, and Loki and Thor quickly followed suit, kneeling down and making a solemn vow to Lombard.

"By Asgard, we will certainly not fail the expectations of the great God-King!!"

Thor is a war-loving god of thunder. Although he has never fought a large-scale battle, he has experienced various counterinsurgency wars and small-scale skirmishes in the Nine Realms.

He naturally did not resist his father's trust in the slightest.

Loki glanced calmly at his brother beside him. Although he had no interest in any of this, he knelt down as well since his other siblings had knelt down, treating it as a family gathering.

Longbo took in the expressions of the group, then rose from his throne and walked step by step to them, his heavy footsteps approaching.

"stand up."

As Longbo's voice faded, Hela and the other two stood up, gazing at their father who had suddenly become younger, awaiting his next command.

Under the watchful eyes of his three adopted sons, Longbo gently raised his hand, and a golden spear appeared in his palm, its sharp tip reflecting a dazzling luster.

Gungnir, also known as the Eternal Spear, is a legendary weapon in Norse mythology, on par with Thor's hammer.

Lombard's gaze fell on Hela's still slightly confused face. Without thinking, he handed Gungnir over.

"Next, I will travel to other dimensions. You are in charge of everything in the real universe, including obtaining the Infinity Stones."

Lombre decided to split his forces into two groups: he would take over a few dimensions first, while Hela and the others would be responsible for obtaining the Infinity Stones, which would save time.

Thor didn't react much to this. He didn't have that kind of talent to begin with, and Hela's fists were bigger than his, so it was only right that she got it.

Loki shared similar thoughts with his brother at this moment.

Hela instinctively reached out and took Gungnir, her hands trembling slightly, the doubt that had just arisen in her eyes instantly shattered.

This is a divine weapon symbolizing the father's power and royal authority. Since the father entrusted this weapon to him, its significance is self-evident.

Seeing Hela's excited state, Longbo became increasingly puzzled. Why was she so excited about a broken weapon and the tiny expanse of Asgard...?

Chapter 236 The local demon god is too polite.

Hela's reaction puzzled Luneburg, who had never seen anyone so delighted by such a small thing.

Hela carefully held Gungnir in her palm, as if it were a treasure rather than a weapon, and her indifferent expression turned into undisguised joy.

Unable to comprehend this, Longbo strode past Hela, Loki, and Thor, heading straight towards the outside of the palace.

Upon seeing this, the three men rose and followed him outside the palace.

At this point, the carefree Thor's attention returned to Lombre's changes.

"Father, why did you suddenly give up your magnificent beard?"

For Thor, war was nothing more than this. With the help of his three siblings and the massive army of Asgard, nothing could stop them even for a moment, so there was no need to be too nervous.

Thor was more curious about Lombard's changes than about the war. Hela and Loki were equally curious about this, so they both looked to their father, awaiting his answer.

Longbo stood at the edge of the palace, with endless Nordic-style buildings stretching before him, a bustling crowd, and a dazzling starry sky hanging in the distance.

He turned his head and glanced at Thor, who was grinning foolishly beside him, and Hela and Loki, whose faces were calm but couldn't hide their doubts. After a moment's thought, he made his decision.

Have you ever heard of the multiverse?

"We understand." The three nodded in unison.

Longbo used kind words, saying, "Every universe has Norse mythology, the legend of Asgard."

"Even in other universes, there may be another Hela Loki and Thor, including me."

Upon hearing this, Loki's eyes flashed with understanding, and he said meaningfully, "We in every universe and we here are in different time and space, but the same mirror image."

“Every universe has other versions of us, but although our experiences, appearances, and even our essences are completely different, what does that have to do with what you’re saying?”

Loki nodded, agreeing with Loki's statement. "You're right. Strictly speaking, the versions of you in other universes are your counterparts in those other universes."

As Lombard finished speaking, Hela seemed to be deep in thought, while Thor was still grinning foolishly, but Lombard could tell that he hadn't quite grasped the situation yet.

Lumberjack gazed into the eyes of the three children, lingering for a moment on Loki, who was shrouded in the power of time and space, before finally changing the subject: "But I am different."

Upon hearing this, the group was slightly taken aback.

Longbo didn't give them time to think, and calmly said, "The me you know, even Odin in all parallel universes, other civilizations and beings similar to me, are all part of 'me'."

"Although we live in different universes, the connection between us is beyond your imagination. All Odins are my projections."

"I can descend upon every Odin, do you understand what I mean?"

Faced with the three men's doubts, Longbo revealed the truth: no matter what, he wouldn't stay long, and they would find out the truth sooner or later.

Therefore, Longbo had no intention of hiding it.

Of course, even if this matter exposed Him, He had enough confidence to smooth things over, which was the source of His confidence in revealing all of this.

As Longbo's voice faded, the three fell silent. Hela, recalling what she had heard earlier, also fell silent.

Loki fell into thought, and combining Luna's words with the changes in Him, he gradually arrived at the answer.

Even the not-so-bright Thor gradually realized what Lombard was talking about.
