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

The other demons also said their goodbyes and went inside the door.

In the end, only three demons remained in this place: Zhou Lan, Zhong Su, and the Holy Lord.

It's always like this: when we gather, the room is filled with joy, but after we part, everyone goes their separate ways.

Both China and the Soviet Union sighed.

"I will guard this place myself; you may leave." The Holy Lord waved his hand and walked towards his residence.

Only then did China and the Soviet Union turn their attention back to Zhou Lan.

Zhou Lan waved her hand, and doors floated into the void, the last one landing in the Holy Lord's mansion.

It stood there steadily, as if it were eternal.

True to his word, he left a separate door for each demon.

It is always necessary to communicate feelings to avoid isolation and a lack of communication between people.

Through these doors, they can connect with each other's worlds, and how they develop their relationships afterward is up to them.

“It’s our turn.” Zhou Lan looked at Zhong Su. “Later, I will also open a door in Asgard, which is reserved for you.”

The Chinese and Soviet leaders nodded to each other and flew through the door.

Asgard, his territory.

He is back.

Seeing the state of Zhong Su, Zhou Lan seemed to have guessed what he was planning to do, and secretly shook her head and smiled.

I just hope Thor doesn't suffer too much later.

Don't lose your composure.

Chapter 456 Your Home?

The realm of the gods, Asgard.

Sol sat dejectedly on the ground.

At this moment, his eyes were filled with confusion and bewilderment, as if he were caught in some kind of existential doubt.

Clearly, hadn't he already gained recognition and unleashed his own idealistic power?

Why……?

Why does he feel that he is in a worse state now than when he was in the human world?

He was just preparing to ascend the throne not long ago!

Thor looked up at the sky, his mind flashing back to the words his father Odin had spoken to him not long ago, after Zhou Lan and Zhong Su had left.

Let's go back to a short time ago.

At that time, well... he was getting ready to go home.

As he walked toward the palace in Asgard, Odin suddenly called out to him.

“My child… uh…” Odin’s tone was slow and hesitant.

"What's wrong? I want to go back and see my mother. It feels like so much time has passed in the mortal realm." Thor looked at his father Odin, whose face was full of hesitation.

“I was trying to say…” Odin’s hand froze in mid-air.

He finally came up with an explanation.

A serious expression crept onto his face. Odin approached Thor, placed his hand heavily on his shoulder, and said earnestly:

"You are indeed someone I can be proud of now, but the unknown enemy is still far away, and your current strength is far from enough."

"An unknown enemy?" Thor was startled. He looked at his father Odin, whose serious expression was definitely not fake.

“That’s right. Their strength far exceeds the limits that Asgard can withstand, and they could appear at any time. I’ve been worried about this for a long time.”

Thor carefully examined Odin's face.

Indeed, after not seeing him for a while, my father seemed to have aged considerably.

At this point, Odin's face showed a hint of relief: "The future of Asgard is in your hands. I am old now, and the future belongs to you, so I made a ruthless decision."

Upon hearing this, Thor suddenly felt a very ominous premonition.

Sure enough, the next moment, Odin resolutely declared, "I will abandon everything in Asgard and travel alone to other places to find a way to deal with the enemy. As for you and Loki, in order to hone your skills, the entire Asgard will no longer be open to you..."

"Do not worry about your mother and the other warriors, they... will accompany me to conquer other realms!"

"You mean???" Thor's mouth dropped open in disbelief.

Odin looked intently into the eyes of Thor and said, word by word, "From this moment on, you are the true king of Asgard. But Asgard is now closed. Everything from now on will depend on your own efforts. This is my final test for you, as a father!"

Odin's words resonated in the hearts of Thor and Loki.

Thor immediately sat on the ground in a daze, gazing at his hometown.

But Odin did not hesitate; he simply disappeared from his two sons' sight, seemingly in a hurry.

He was so anxious that he set off immediately after giving all the instructions, without pausing at all, as if he was afraid that someone would see this scene.

Odin left.

Only the two brothers, Thor and Loki, remain here.

"Did you hear that? Asgard no longer belongs to us from this day forward."

Thor felt dejected and wanted to confide in someone, only to find that the only person he could confide in was his annoying younger brother.

“Of course, now you’ve succeeded. You are the only king of Asgard.” Loki said, then suddenly a smile appeared on his lips, as if he had thought of something.

Saul, that fool, was completely bewildered by his father's words, but that doesn't mean he's an idiot.

It's obvious what their father did that caused Asgard to be no longer connected to them.

He left because he couldn't save face, so he made up a flimsy excuse.

Only a fool like Thor could believe that.

"You..." Thor looked at his brother Loki with a confused expression, then suddenly walked to the side. "Where are you going?"

Loki turned and glanced at Thor: "I have lost completely. I have lost my father's trust, I have lost everything, and even Asgard is no longer open to me..."

"Where else can I go? This place no longer belongs to me, and you, just accept your possessions!" Loki said sarcastically.

The next second, he disappeared from Thor's sight.

So now only Thor is left here.

Alone and empty.

Not long after, Thor suddenly shuddered.

He saw a golden door fly towards Asgard and land atop the highest palace.

"That is...?"

Before he could react, another golden door opened behind him, and a familiar aura wafted from inside.

Looking back.

Zhou Lan floated out of the door with a calm expression, followed by Zhong Su, who appeared in human form.

A smile played on his lips, and it grew even more delightful the moment he stepped out the door and saw the bewildered Thor.

For some inexplicable reason, Thor suddenly felt a strange and unbelievable sensation.

He stared at China and the Soviet Union without speaking or reminiscing.

The aura emanating from Zhong Su was so subtle, it was as if he were the master of this place, and had come to inspect it.

"Or am I just confused? Has this madman always been like this?" Thor muttered to himself.

But regardless, Odin and Loki have both left him, at least this guy who seems agreeable is still around, and hasn't come back for him yet.

At least he won't be alone.

A feeling of comfort and warmth had just risen in Saul's heart when he was stunned by what Zhong Su said the next second.

"Hey, you!" Zhong Su said loudly and seriously, "What are you doing sitting on my doorstep?"

For a moment, Thor stood there, stunned.

He suddenly felt that the power of those words was even more intense and excessive than the three bolts of heavenly lightning he had endured when he was still a mortal.

"Your home...?" Thor stared in disbelief, muttering to himself.

"If it's not my house, is it yours?" Zhong Su said with his arms crossed and a smile.

Seeing Thor's bewildered expression, Zhou Lan probably guessed that Odin hadn't told Thor the whole story.

He naturally disregarded Odin's feelings and spoke softly, his words leaving no room for argument:

"Your father, Odin, recently ceded Asgard to me, and through me, gifted it to my brother, Zhongsu."

"So, what he just said is true."

Look, he even thoughtfully explained it to Saul.

Thor raised his bewildered eyes, blinked, and leaned forward slightly, looking as if he didn't understand.

He was clearly stunned.

Chapter 457 What is the difference between a master and a servant?

Seeing Thor's bewildered look, Zhou Lan didn't bother to explain too much to him.

The Sino-Soviet meeting will tell him everything in detail later.

He pointed forward, and a figure was immediately pointed out.

Loki panicked and tried to fight back, but suddenly realized that Zhou Lan hadn't done anything to him.

He hasn't left yet.

The reason he acted as if he had left but was still secretly hiding here was because he wanted to quietly watch the show and savor the confused and lost look on his brother Thor's face.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Lan had already exposed him as soon as she appeared.

"Why are you still here?" Thor slowly turned his head to look at Loki.

For some inexplicable reason, Loki suddenly became furious.

Isn't this an obvious problem?

What kind of trial is this? What kind of unknown enemy is this?!

Their unreliable father has clearly already lost all of Asgard to someone else!

Can't we just leave it open?

He was furious that Thor hadn't noticed anything amiss yet.

Looking around, he saw a bewildered and annoying older brother, a stranger he could never defeat in this lifetime, and a Thunder Controller he had just offended.

His only remaining support, his father Odin, had long since disappeared.

Even their hometown has fallen into the hands of others.

There was no place for him in the realm of gods.

Staying here is tantamount to waiting to die.

Loki's gaze continued to sweep over the ground beneath his feet, over the empty void.

He glanced at Thor one last time, then chuckled helplessly and said, "What else is there to say? I'm jumping now."

To Thor's astonishment, Loki leaped into the air and vanished into the void beneath his feet.

Thor was shocked. He quickly got up and tried to grab Loki, but he could only catch a glimpse of Loki disappearing into nothingness.

Now he's truly all alone.

No, that's not right.

I am right, I am not.
