365: Odin's worries!

“So, God King Odin had no choice but to close the Rainbow Bridge to prevent Ragnarok.”

“Yes, God King Odin was thinking of us. Otherwise, God King Odin could crush that Tongtian Cult Master, whom we’ve never even heard of, with just one finger.”

“One day, we will flatten Great Xia. Only blood can wash away their sins.”

Hearing the Gods' discussions below, Odin's heart settled a bit.

“Alright, you may all withdraw for now. Thor will inform you of the subsequent actions.”

Odin waved his hand, and the other Gods left the Divine Hall.

Soon, only Odin and Thor remained in the Divine Hall.

Odin walked up to Thor, the God of Thunder, and softly said, “My child, what do you think of this matter?”

Thor, the God of Thunder, thought for a moment, “I think this matter must be related to that fellow, Loki.

Perhaps, only by finding Loki can we figure out the truth of the matter.”

Odin's face showed an expression of resentment, “That fellow Loki only ever causes me trouble.”

Seeing Odin’s dejected expression, Thor, the God of Thunder, said, “God King Odin, I think there’s still a turn for the better in this matter. I want to search for Loki’s whereabouts. As long as I find him and clarify the truth of the matter, the Great Xia Gods’ lies will collapse on their own, won't they?”

“What? You want to leave Asgard? No, absolutely not.”

Odin’s emotions immediately became agitated when he heard Thor wanted to leave Asgard.

Thor, the God of Thunder, was startled by Odin’s reaction. He hadn't expected God King Odin’s response to be so intense.

Seemingly realizing he had lost his composure, Odin quickly explained:

“No, Asgard’s crisis has already arrived. Without complete preparation, no God can leave Asgard.

This is for your safety.” Odin said earnestly.

Seeing Odin’s insistence, Thor, the God of Thunder, said nothing more.

“I understand, God King Odin.”

Watching Thor’s departing back, Odin lightly tapped, and the shattered throne instantly returned to its original state. He turned and sat on the throne, propping his forehead with one hand.

“Phew!”

Odin let out a long sigh, his entire being seeming dispirited.

Suddenly, a strange, hoarse voice emerged from his eye patch.

“He’s back, he’s back…”

Odin sat up straight with a jolt. It was Cthulhu, residing within him, that had made the sound.

“He?” Odin’s mind suddenly shook, “Michael? How is that possible? Wasn’t that guy guarding the moon?”

Facing Odin’s questions, the voice seemed to completely ignore them, only repeating endlessly: “He’s back, he’s back…”

The strange, repetitive voice made Odin restless. The sudden revelation from the Great Xia Gods, the brief resurgence of Black Goat, coupled with Michael's sudden departure from the moon, for some reason, a sense of crisis lingered in his heart.

“One after another, they only cause me trouble.” Odin clenched his fists tightly, his knuckles turning white. “The Rainbow Bridge has been closed, so even Michael, relying on him as a single God, cannot possibly break into Asgard.”

Thinking of Asgard’s impregnable defenses, Odin's mood eased slightly.

He then remembered Loki, who had left Asgard not long ago, and worry once again clouded his mind.

“That fellow, Loki, didn’t he say he was going to persuade the two great Divine Kingdoms? Why is there still no news from him until now?”

…

A glint of excitement flashed in the eyes of the Spy Master, clad in a black trench coat. Not long ago, he had received Michael’s Divine Oracle.

“Excellent! Lord Michael has actually returned to Earth. I can finally behold Lord Michael’s Divine Might once again.”

The Spy Master calmed his excited mood, “However, before that, I should first complete Lord Michael’s task.”

The Spy Master clasped his hands in front of his chest and chanted, “Oh, great Lord of National Luck, your devout believer implores your gaze, please let me behold your majesty once more…”

A gentle, warm light completely enveloped the Spy Master’s body. A gentle breeze blew, and the Spy Master’s figure vanished from its original spot.

The next second, the Spy Master’s figure appeared on a black mountain peak.

The howling wind blew past the Spy Master's ears. He looked around and found himself amidst a range of mountains.

“Strange, I was just praying to Song Zhong. Where did this take me?”

Just as the Spy Master was puzzled, a hunched Old Mister wearing a bamboo hat suddenly appeared before him.

“It is a joy to have friends come from afar. By the command of the Lord of the Country, I am specially here to welcome you into the city.”

The Spy Master glanced at the hunched Old Mister and was horrified to discover that the other party’s Aura had reached the Klein Realm.

Moreover, the other party was neither a God nor a human; like himself, the other party was also Mysterious.

“May I ask what Old Mister’s name is?” the Spy Master cautiously asked.

He didn't really doubt the other party's identity. Anyone who could appear here must be one of Song Zhong's subordinates.

However, the last time he came to the Ghost Country, there weren't so many mountains around.

“This old man is an unknown person. If I must have a name, just call me Old Man Ferryman.”

The hunched Old Mister made a gesture of invitation, and the Spy Master followed the Old Mister down the mountain.

“Old Man Ferryman, why are there mountains here? I remember it wasn't like this when I came before.”

The Old Mister chuckled and said, “Lord of the Country successfully refined the Origin of the Divine Kingdom not long ago. Now, this place is already a Divine Kingdom.

Lord of the Country displayed great Divine Might, opening Iron Encirclement Mountain and the San Tu River to suppress the Divine Kingdom’s Luck. Where we are now is Iron Encirclement Mountain.”

The Spy Master was instantly stunned. What? Song Zhong’s Ghost Country had already completed its ascension?

How long had it been since he left? And the other party had already made such a big move? No wonder Lord Michael valued this person so much.

Just as the Spy Master was marveling, they had already descended from the mountain.

Rumble!

The rushing sound of the ceaseless river was mighty, like thunder. A huge stone tablet stood by the river. The Spy Master looked at the stone tablet, and the two characters “San Tu” were carved upon it, grand in Aura.

Next to the stone tablet was a pier.

The hunched Old Mister arrived at the pier, and a small black boat swayed into view on the river.

The Old Mister directly jumped onto it, then waved at the Spy Master.

“Get on the boat, I’ll take you into the Divine Kingdom.”

The Spy Master slowly walked to the edge of the pier. Looking closely, he saw that the black boat had no bottom.

The turbulent river water was clearly visible, and the Old Mister’s feet were already submerged in the water.

The Spy Master subconsciously took a step back and shouted, “Old Man Ferryman, don’t trick me! This boat has no bottom, how can it carry people?”
