Zongman: All Heavens and Worlds Begin with the Devil's Curse

Chapter 405 How could they be so similar?

Looking around, the familiar scene was long gone from Odin's life.

He was still lying there, but not in his own palace, but in a completely new place.

All around him was a dazzling starry sky, with countless enormous planets passing by, yet he remained unaffected.

He gazed at the universe and suddenly felt insignificant.

"Where...is this?" he asked, bewildered.

"You should ask, who is this?" The universe gave him the answer.

“Then…who is this?” Odin paused for a moment.

"This is..." the voice answered him, and countless glittering nebulae gathered in his vision, forming a face he had only seen once before.

“I,” the great being replied.

The sound reverberated in his heart like a thunderclap, and Odin could barely withstand the pressure.

His vision began to distort, he felt increasingly small, and everything in front of him began to expand rapidly, crushing him.

The world spun around him, and Odin seemed to rise from deep water, gasping for air like a survivor who had finally gained air.

He has returned, from that universe.

Damn it, what did he just see? Even someone as powerful as him couldn't be sure.

Odin stirred suddenly, realizing he was free. He helped himself up from the bed, looked up, and met Zhou Lan's ambiguous smile.

Odin's expression immediately tightened, and he asked, "What kind of being are you?"

“There shouldn’t be any doubts. Didn’t I just let you glimpse a bit of my true self?” Zhou Lan said.

"But to sum it up, I'm really just an old guy who likes to watch the show."

In that instant, Odin seemed to have finally confirmed something.

His expression no longer showed any hesitation, and he nodded heavily, saying, "I cannot question you."

“But…” he paused, “you could have directly extracted my power, and even the entire God Realm combined couldn’t shake you… why…?”

He struggled to find the right words to recover from the shock he had just experienced.

Zhou Lan smiled almost imperceptibly and said, "I've only just started to get along with the locals here."

He reached out and pulled out a scroll.

Inside was a scene where he and Gu Yi sat facing each other, with a cup of hot tea still steaming on a small square table between them.

Regardless of whether Gu Yi knew Zhou Lan had taken a picture, just look at how incongruous this scene is.

Opposite Zhou Lan, Gu Yi lowered his head, like a humble junior.

“I see, I see…” Odin seemed to understand something.

His eyes were lowered, lost in thought.

Zhou Lan muttered to herself, "I need some time to think about how to prevent that Zhong Su guy from immediately starting a fight with the Holy Lord as soon as he gets out of prison."

Zhou Lan wanted to mediate between the two guys.

The problem is that both the Thunder Demon and the Fire Demon are rather violent.

The more important issue is that China and the Soviet Union are no match for the Holy Lord at present.

He believed the Holy Lord would hold back, but Zhou Lan was worried that Zhong Su's volatile temper, honed in hell, would explode on the spot if he couldn't win.

Zhou Lan was also very troubled by this matter.

With a sudden thought, he stopped pondering and instead reached out to press his hand against Odin. The purplish-black lunar demonic energy surged out, forming a ring that enveloped Odin completely.

This is a curse.

It is used to extract and transfer some of Odin's divine power, but at this moment it is only at the level of extraction and storage.

Odin did not resist; this was something they had agreed upon earlier.

After doing all this, Zhou Lan put her hands back behind her back and said calmly, "I also have a less-than-pleasant younger brother."

"Coincidentally, he is also skilled in using the power of thunder, and similarly, arrogance and irritability are also part of his personality."

Upon hearing this, Odin, who was about to lie down again, straightened up.

"What do you mean?" he asked curiously.

“Excessive arrogance and temper are not signs of maturity, but we cannot directly intervene to change his character. I believe you feel the same way about Thor.”

“That’s right.” Odin nodded in agreement. “Thor was like that not long ago, which is why I banished him.”

Odin sighed.

"So I was thinking, if Thor can learn humility and other virtues, then I wonder if my brother can too. I want to see it for myself," Zhou Lan said slowly.

They both possess the power of thunder, and even their personalities are somewhat similar.

Zhou Lan wanted to see if the growth path used for Thor could be applied to China and the Soviet Union.

Otherwise, he would have left long ago.

Compared to this matter, a little bit of strength is not that important.

Otherwise, he could just take advantage of Odin's sleep and forcibly extract it, although he could do the same even if Odin wasn't asleep.

Odin seemed to understand Zhou Lan's thoughts and let out a similarly bitter sigh.

The two old guys actually found something in common to some extent.

One is a son, and the other is a younger brother.

That's really rare.

“Since there’s nothing else, I’ll continue.” Odin was silent for a moment, then lay back down.

Zhou Lan nodded; this person just needed to continue playing dead.

As for the other party's predicament, the issues of strength and lifespan, he has already resolved them without any harm or side effects.

After using magic to extract Odin's overflowing divine power, he obtained the divine power he wanted, and Odin no longer had any worries.

This is a win-win situation.

His robes fluttered as he left Odin's chambers, his gaze fixed on Thor, who was still in the mortal realm.

At this very moment, Loki is trying to fool his brother Thor.

He recounted his father's disappointment in Saul and informed him of his current status.

But Thor, who already understood everything, simply watched him quietly.

His conversation with Zhou Lan had given him a good start, and he learned a little about how to view himself.

But there's still a distance between that and truly understanding humility and responsibility.

“You continue,” he said.

"You don't believe me?" Loki was somewhat surprised by Thor's reaction.

Thor felt angry at Loki, but he simply turned his back to him and faced the window opposite the hospital bed.

He does not yet possess the power to confront Loki head-on.

Normally, after he learned everything, he would definitely fight Loki to the death, even though he was just a mortal now.

Seeing this, Loki gritted his teeth and disappeared from the spot.

"I'll find a way," he said, leaving behind those words.

The next second, he appeared at the spot where Mjolnir had fallen, standing in front of the divine hammer, reaching out to pull it out.

What are you doing with my things, young man?

A sudden voice interrupted him. Loki turned around and saw Zhou Lan slowly drifting towards him.

"Yours? Heh." He chuckled dismissively.

“That’s right, of course it’s mine.” Zhou Lan stretched out his hand toward the void in front of him, and Mjolnir obediently flew into his hand.

A bolt of lightning flashed beside Zhou Lan.

He had already drawn upon Odin's divine power, and the hammer was as obedient and docile as a pet in his presence.

Loki froze on the spot.

He held the scepter, yet felt utterly helpless.

“Right now, I won’t cause you any trouble.” Zhou Lan glanced at him, holding a hammer in one hand and drawing upon Odin’s divine power in the other.

He clasped his hands together, and Odin's divine power was poured into Mjolnir, with even more to spare.

Thus, a suitable replacement was born.

"This is?! Father's..." Loki recognized the source of the divine power in Zhou Lan's palm, and his eyes were filled with shock.

A golden light flashed before them, and Zhou Lan vanished instantly, leaving no trace.

He has already embarked on his journey back to his original world.

At the same time, he changed his mind.

Now that we've obtained the replacement, why not just release Zhongsu directly, and then avoid him directly encountering the Holy Lord?

They threw this grumpy, weak guy, just out of prison, into the world.

Let these two once arrogant "Thors," now equally weakened thunder controllers, start from scratch and improve their bad tempers.

He believed that what Saul could learn, Sino-Soviet relations should not be any worse.

should……

Chapter 406 Holy Lord! Let's fight!

The original world.

A hammer crackling with lightning pierced through the clouds and mist, penetrating the void and chaos, where it was contained and absorbed.

Zhou Lan has returned.

He cast Mjolnir, imbued with Odin's power, into Hell in exchange for the freedom of China and the Soviet Union.

In Hell, Su, the master of thunder and the demon of thunder, felt a lightness on his body, followed by the same feeling of his other brothers and sisters.

He is being ostracized by hell.

"Hahahaha!" Zhong Su burst into laughter, his voice sounding like thunder, shaking even hell.

"I'm back!!!" he seemed to be roaring.

With a pop, he was finally freed from hell and breathed in the first fresh air in millions of years.

"World, welcome your new master!" he growled.

Zhou Lan watched this scene calmly.

Without a doubt, the Sino-Soviet prison break was the largest in scale.

Just listening to him now, one can't help but feel that he is suppressing an uncontrollable anger that is about to explode.

Compared to his brothers and sisters when they were first released from prison, Zhong Su's current strength and condition are much better than his brothers and sisters.

Firstly, Zhou Lan had once replenished his energy during a break, using the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit from the One Piece world.

One of Zhou Lan's purposes at the time was to give China and the Soviet Union a little more power in hell, so as to punish the newly entered immortal gods.

Another purpose is to offer comfort.

But it is clear that the Chinese and Soviet Union, having received supplies, were not satisfied with this.

Simply whipping other immortal gods in hell is not enough to vent his anger.

Secondly, it was the emotional support that Ximu had sent to Hell not long ago to provide for Zhongsu and Xiaofeng.

This has led to the current situation where the strength of China and the Soviet Union is still quite sufficient.
