367: Take Michael to rob!
“Two promises?” Michael asked, a little surprised, “Aren’t you afraid I’ll break my word?”
Song Zhong shook his head, “It’s hard for a single-minded God like you to break a promise.”
Michael’s expression stiffened; for a moment, he couldn’t tell if the other party was insulting him or praising him.
“My point is… what if I die? Then I won’t be able to fulfill my promise.” Michael’s voice became low.
No matter what, attacking Asgard was too risky. Even Michael, the God of Miracles, couldn’t guarantee his own safety.
“That’s not something you need to worry about,” Song Zhong said, completely unconcerned by Michael’s words.
Michael re-examined Song Zhong once more, then said, “You helping me, there must be other reasons, right?”
“Heh heh, I heard there’s a World Tree in Asgard. You see, while my place has plenty of mountains and rivers, it just lacks that touch of vibrant life.”
Looking at the rebellious expression on Song Zhong’s face, Michael fell silent.
One God King wanted to break into a God’s country and kill its God King, and the other wanted to rush in and steal their World Tree.
If he weren’t the protagonist of this event, wouldn’t they simply be two robbers ransacking homes?
If his intrusion into Asgard and slaying of Odin was for the purpose of upholding justice, then Song Zhong’s idea about the World Tree was a complete robbery.
However, Asgard had already closed its gates, and he had no choice but to find allies.
Holy Lord, I hope you can forgive me! Michael prayed silently in his heart.
“Alright! So, how should we break through Asgard’s defenses?” Michael asked.
“Asgard’s closure this time was very sudden, so Odin overlooked something.”
A dangerous arc formed at the corner of Song Zhong’s mouth. Michael suddenly had a bad premonition, feeling a chill in his heart as he looked at Song Zhong’s smile.
“What did he overlook?”
“Human Realm!”
“Human Realm?” Michael looked at Song Zhong in confusion, “The location of Human Realm should have been hidden by Odin. Even in Asgard, no more than five Gods know its location.”
“Yes, precisely because they hid it too deeply, they couldn’t transfer Human Realm into Asgard’s interior.” Song Zhong opened his palm, and a nine-colored flame slowly burned in his hand.
“As long as Human Realm is burned to ashes, Asgard will lose its source of Power Of Faith. No matter how solid the defense, it will shatter.”
After hearing Song Zhong’s plan, Michael couldn’t help but gasp.
“You want to… burn Human Realm? Is doing that… a bit too much?”
Michael, from a prestigious background, felt that Song Zhong’s idea was a bit radical. Human Realm contained countless innocent lives. Doing this seemed no different from an evil God.
“Are you worried about the lives of those commoners?” Song Zhong asked with a smile.
Michael nodded.
“Look at my God’s country. What does it look like to you?”
Michael followed the direction of Song Zhong’s finger and saw groups of ghosts wandering through the city…
“It’s filled with the aura of the deceased. Your God’s country is more like the Netherworld.” Michael answered honestly.
“Exactly. The demise of the physical body is merely the beginning of another life.
Rather than being enslaved by those two-faced traitors in Asgard, it’s better to come to me after death and gain new life. At least, they’ll be spared the risk of being corrupted by the Cthulhu evil God.”
Michael actually found some truth in what Song Zhong said.
“But… burning them alive is truly a bit cruel,” Michael said.
“This is the principle of equivalent exchange. How can you see the rainbow without experiencing wind and rain?” Song Zhong patted Michael’s shoulder and continued, “Think of it another way: their sacrifice will disrupt Cthulhu’s plans and save more lives in the future.”
Michael’s expression struggled for a moment, but he ultimately chose to trust Song Zhong.
“Since that’s the case, I’ll listen to you. But we don’t know the location of Asgard’s Human Realm,” Michael said.
“Don’t worry, regarding the location of Human Realm, I have a professional team to handle it.” Song Zhong smiled calmly and patted Michael’s shoulder.
“Professional… team?” Michael had never heard this term before. Could it be that there was an organization specifically for finding Human Realm?
“That’s right, I’ve already got the location of Asgard’s Human Realm.”
Michael instantly felt that Song Zhong was somewhat terrifying. He had a way to break through Asgard’s defenses, and even though Human Realm was so hidden, he knew its location.
Song Zhong seemed to possess the ability to foresee the future, having made all preparations before he even came to him.
A preposterous thought suddenly flashed through Michael’s mind: could it be that his arrival in the Ghost Country today was also within Song Zhong’s calculations?
Michael shook his head. Perhaps he was overthinking it. Since the other party had long planned for the World Tree, it was normal to have made these preparations.
“Since that’s the case, when do we depart?” Michael was already a bit impatient. Kronos’s time was not ample.
“Soon, but before we depart, I’d like to ask you to fulfill one promise first.”
Hearing Song Zhong finally mention fulfilling a promise, Michael felt a bit relieved. Indeed, his personality wasn’t suited to owing others favors.
“No problem, what do you want me to do?” Michael asked.
“I hope you grant a Miracle, a Miracle that can resist getting lost,” Song Zhong said.
“Resist getting lost? Who is that person? Is he going to a very dangerous place?” Michael asked.
Song Zhong clapped his hands, and a masked figure appeared below the high platform.
That person was Wang Mian.
Michael also noticed the appearing youth. He only took one glance and knew the other party’s identity.
“So it’s Kronos’s spokesperson.”
“Exactly. He needs to take a trip to the Time River, so I’d like to ask you to grant him a chance to counteract getting lost in the Time River.”
Michael nodded, “I understand.”
With that, a golden light condensed into a bead on Michael’s forehead.
Michael pointed his finger, and the golden bead slowly fell into Wang Mian’s hand.
Wang Mian held the bead, and his gratitude was evident.
He bowed, “Lord Song Zhong, Lord Michael, words cannot express my gratitude. If I can return alive, I will definitely repay your kindness.”
Song Zhong smiled without speaking, while Michael reminded him, “The Miracle is only effective once. If you truly get lost in the Time River, I suggest you don’t try a second time.”
Wang Mian gave a bitter smile, nodded, and then left.
After Wang Mian left, Song Zhong stretched his waist and laughed:
“Heh heh, this time, we’ll trap Asgard like a turtle in a jar!”
