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

But the problem is, I'm your biological father. Shouldn't you stand firmly on my side and follow my lead?

Honestly, Odin suddenly felt like his son had grown up, but wasn't following the right path.

He suddenly felt very tired.

This weariness was not physical, but mental.

“That guy, he beat me up pretty badly before.” Zhong Su pointed, and Loki shuddered and took a step back.

“Your words alone cannot protect him,” Zhong Su said.

As soon as he finished speaking, the thunder in the sky began to roam again.

Fortunately, his temper has improved a lot during this period, and the influence of hell on him has also erased much of his inexplicable irritability.

Otherwise, if it were when he had just been released from prison, all that lightning would have already struck Odin's face.

Fortunately, he is now able to calm down and reason with people.

Of course, there's also the reason that Odin is Thor's biological father.

Not many, but the reason does exist.

If Odin were willing to step aside, China and the Soviet Union would even be happy to treat each other with courtesy.

But Odin still didn't seem to have any intention of making way for him.

He just sighed again; he had lost count of how many times he had sighed in the past few days.

It was even more times than all the other first half of his life combined.

"Never mind." Odin's expression suddenly hardened, and he shouted towards the sky above:

"I've lost so much to you already, surely you can at least protect my son for me!"

Only now did Odin's tone finally reveal a hint of indignation and helplessness.

His voice reached the heavens, and the next second, Zhou Lan's voice came.

"Of course it's possible." There was a faint hint of a smile in the echo.

The familiar voice rang out, and the three people present, except for Odin, were all startled.

Needless to say, he already knew his brother very well, and Thor and Loki had also heard that voice not long ago.

For Thor, the owner of that voice had even once enlightened him and taken Mjolnir from him; he could never forget it.

Loki suddenly remembered that back in the human world, when Mjolnir fell to the ground, it was this very being who disdainfully left with Thor's hammer right in front of him.

Just as the group was lost in thought, a glimpse of a Taoist robe caught their eye.

Zhou Lan appeared instantly in Asgard.

He smiled, glanced around at the tense scene, and then looked at China and the Soviet Union.

“My brother, I am so glad to see you here. It means that you have finally found yourself again, without even needing my help.”

Thor, who was listening to the conversation, suddenly paused.

Why does this sentence sound so familiar?

Didn't his father Odin just tell the story once?

On the other side, Zhong Su's eyes widened in surprise, and then he stared blankly at Zhou Lan.

He didn't speak, but his eyes were filled with complex emotions.

Not long ago, he made those boastful remarks in the human realm, and he said he would confront Zhou Lan face to face once he regained his power.

Now, with the change in my state of mind, it has long since vanished.

He just stared blankly at Zhou Lan.

"Let him go. In return, I have a gift for you." Zhou Lan pointed at Loki and smiled at Zhong Su.

China and the Soviet Union nodded without hesitation.

He had no intention of going against Zhou Lan's opinion at all, and stopped immediately after speaking.

The thunder that filled the sky vanished in an instant, leaving no trace.

Odin, standing in front of Loki, was filled with mixed feelings.

For some reason, even though Zhou Lan was pointing at Loki, he felt like she was pointing at him.

And what Zhou Lan just said, the "gift" she mentioned...

Why does he sound so uncomfortable?

Chapter 446 Now you've heard it all

Seeing that Zhong Su had listened to his brother Zhou Lan's words, Odin finally felt a little relieved.

At this moment, he truly didn't want to fight anymore.

Firstly, he was genuinely exhausted; secondly, Zhou Lan had drained some of his strength, and he did not want to provoke a conflict with the Soviet Union at this moment.

Fortunately, Zhou Lan is still quite humane.

After all, he had already lost so much; it was only right for them to step in and protect his son.

As for Zhou Lan, he had already achieved his goal.

If it were the old China and the Soviet Union, they would have been thoroughly humiliated by Loki in the human world. It would have been a disservice to their volatile temper not to tear Loki to pieces.

But the anger between China and the Soviet Union subsided quickly, a stark contrast to the previous situation.

At least I learned what it means to listen to teachings.

This is important, isn't it?

The thunderous roar subsided, but a hint of doubt lingered in Zhong Su's eyes.

He was curious about what exactly the gift Zhou Lan was talking about was.

Is this a reward for his good performance recently?

Neither China nor the Soviet Union knew whether Zhou Lan's generosity was truly remarkable, but they assumed it would be.

However, he is not interested in these things now.

He had something to say to Zhou Lan.

Right now.

With just one glance, Zhou Lan saw through Zhong Su's intentions.

He waved his hand casually: "Now that Thor has become successful, let's give you some time to catch up."

Having said that, he prepared to create an independent space for himself and the Sino-Soviet Union to exchange a few words.

It's our own business, and we have no obligation to let outsiders know about it.

"Wait a minute!" Thor quickly raised his hand, his eyes fixed intently on Zhou Lan.

"Hmm?" Zhou Lan paused for a moment, then looked back at Thor with a leisurely air. "What is it?"

Thor rubbed his hands together, only now realizing that the stranger who had given him guidance when he fell in Mjolnir was Zhong Su's brother.

It turns out the two had met once before.

No wonder he left his stubborn, short-tempered younger brother here.

Moreover, he seems to be quite familiar with his father Odin, presumably they are learning from each other's experiences.

Thor turned to Zhou Lan and said sincerely, "...Thank you. Looking back now, what you said earlier really helped me a lot."

"You're quite sincere." Hearing this, Zhou Lan smiled. "These are your own skills, they have nothing to do with me."

"On the contrary, it was your Mjolnir who gave me some help."

Having said that, Zhou Lan no longer hesitated, and with a wave of her hand, she and Zhong Su disappeared from the spot.

just.

When Odin heard Thor's sincere thanks, his expression suddenly turned somewhat unpleasant.

Thor... he even said thank you.

Do you know what that guy you just thanked did?

Odin glanced at his two sons, remained silent for a long time, and finally said nothing.

the other side.

Zhong and Su looked around and realized that their elder brother had created a separate space for them.

“I’m also very curious about your reasons for refusing to admit your mistakes. Now you can tell me.”

Zhou Lan looked intently at the Sino-Soviet alliance.

He respects the ideas of each of his younger siblings.

The main reason he returned the power to China and the Soviet Union was that he saw the changes in them and broke free from the shackles of the past. Zhou Lan returning the power to him was merely icing on the cake.

Upon hearing this, China and the Soviet Union nodded.

"Your journey here is over. Afterwards, I will take you back, back to our world..."

"I'm wondering, when you go back and see the Holy Lord again, will your reasons be sufficient to justify continuing to cause him trouble?"

Zhou Lan asked slowly.

“None of that matters,” Zhong Su suddenly said.

His gaze was intense, burning like a torch, as he stared into Zhou Lan's eyes.

"First of all, I do have to apologize for what I did in the past. The ignorance of hell over thousands of years has influenced me. At that time, all I felt was anger..."

"If we were to do it again, I would like to catch up with you first and ask for your permission, brother."

Upon hearing the conversation between the Chinese and Soviet leaders, Zhou Lan nodded in satisfaction.

This guy, it really did work out to put him and Thor together for training.

The past turmoil between China and the Soviet Union, aside from their own extreme personalities, was largely due to the stifling atmosphere and wear and tear of their time in hell.

What can erode wisdom can also alienate others.

Too much rigidity leads to breakage, and that was the nature of China and the Soviet Union.

Other demons, on the other hand, are much better in this respect.

This is also what prompted Zhou Lan to treat Zhong Su differently from other demons.

At that time, it was indeed impossible to reason with him between China and the Soviet Union.

"So, what's your reason? I'm listening," Zhou Lan said earnestly, his gaze meeting Zhong Su's.

"At that time, I did feel an overwhelming anger, but this anger was not just about the Holy Lord's past betrayal."

Zhong Su slowly clenched his fist, his voice gradually growing louder, causing Zhou Lan to frown slightly.

"When I was in hell, watching my brothers and sisters leave one by one, I thought about so many things..."

“I think that no matter what the Holy Lord is like now, if he had even the slightest bit of consideration or concern for us, he would never be out there enjoying himself…”

“I understand how difficult it is to release us, and how much effort it will take! But the Holy Lord has never tried. If he hadn’t failed again and been cursed by us that day, even you probably wouldn’t have been able to get out, let alone have everything you have now!”

As Zhong and Su spoke, their eyes suddenly became moved.

"So, my reason for wanting revenge on him is not just for myself, but also for the suffering my other brothers and sisters have endured these days!"

"And all for you!"

In that instant, the voices of China and the Soviet Union thundered like lightning.

"For...me?" Zhou Lan asked, puzzled.

“That’s right!” Zhong Su suddenly stepped forward, looking directly into Zhou Lan’s eyes. “Everyone knows how much we have to pay for this. If the Holy Lord hadn’t chosen to betray us, why would you have gone through all that trouble to liberate us one by one, brother!”

"You think I'm just wasting my days in hell? I saw it all with my own eyes! If it weren't for that Holy Lord, why would you bother with all this trouble!"

"Therefore, whether out of consideration for my other brothers and sisters, or from your perspective, I cannot ignore the Lord's past mistakes!"

Zhong Su pointed outside and gritted his teeth, saying, "He's living a carefree life, but what about my brother? You shouldn't be running around like this! But it seems everyone ignores this, even me..."
