Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 372: Ignored Threat
Fate is one of the most terrifying forces under time. Even a god king like Odin must have full respect for fate. Supreme gods like God and Chronos cannot easily manipulate fate.

In different mythological systems, the power of fate is unpredictable; gods may be able to control the fate of mortals, but when it comes to facing their own fate, they are often helpless or even sit and wait for death.

The more you do, the more mistakes you make; just like Thor right now.

The seed of destiny in Lin You's body cannot determine the fate of the gods, but when facing each other, it is easy to use a branch to spy on and interfere with the opponent's actions, and even the opponent cannot detect it.

The lightning bursting out from Thor's hammer and Thor himself almost covered the sky, but it could never hurt the writer who was so close. The other party seemed to always find the gaps between the lightning and pull Thor's power to where it shouldn't be.

Unlike the writer's real target, the god of war Tyr, who was supposed to be a comrade, became the victim of the thunderbolt and was blocked by the lightning outside the core circle of the battlefield and could not get close. This was obviously not Thor's original intention, but the work of the writer.

Before the two Nordic gods could come up with a countermeasure, Lin You took the initiative to retreat. The power that originally entangled Thor's hammer disappeared, and the scepter returned to its original form and was pulled back; the golden snake that kept changing its form in Thor's palm turned from real to virtual, and was crushed by the enemy in the form of an energy body.

Lin You, who only revealed half of his face under the armor, smiled triumphantly, and his figure suddenly disappeared. Neither the Thunder God, whose power was out of control and struggling with himself, nor the God of War, who was isolated by the infinite lightning, could stop him.

"Damn it!" Thor roared angrily, "He must have gone back to find that wizard."

"I know, but it's too late." The God of War Tyr responded sullenly.

Although it took only a few seconds to gather the out-of-control power, it was enough time for the writer to finish the job. To suppress a wizard with the power of a true god might not take even a second.

Once Lin You takes away the wizard who tries to cooperate with Dracula, he can not only destroy the wizard's plan in various ways, but also leave a "mark" on the soul of the wizard and related personnel; this "mark" will become the anchor point for the quill pen to lock, locking the possibility of related personnel changing their destiny and thus changing the Harry Potter story.

The general trend of the Harry Potter plot being altered has not changed, but the people and events that have been “marked” by the quill pen can no longer participate.

To put it in an analogy, it is like some kind of targeted sanctions in economic activities.

Holding out for a glimmer of hope, Thor and Tyr returned to the small town at the foot of the mountain where the battle broke out; as expected, the wizard had disappeared, and no one in the town, including Van Helsing, remembered the existence of this wizard.

Less than ten seconds passed between the two actions, and the outcome of the matter was completely changed; the large-scale and just-right "Forgetfulness Spell" modified the memory, as well as the "history" and the "future".

As has happened in the past few years, in the battle between protecting and destroying the "unknown" factors, the Norse pantheon once again suffered a defeat. And the author, just like in the past few years, had a clear goal, and once it was achieved, he would not linger on, and had already disappeared without a trace.

Thor's roar was like a bolt from the blue, and he swung his hammer as if he wanted to raze the Carpathian Mountains to the ground.

The god of war Tyr is relatively calm; although his duty is to fight, he is more like a calm soldier rather than a berserker who may go berserk at any time.

"There are fewer and fewer materials that can be used." Tyr put away his sword, feeling that this would allow him to focus his mind more. "Although the writer's large-scale 'marking' action has done a lot of useless work, it has achieved very good results. Even some of the 'materials' that we originally had not yet used and planned to keep as backup have been marked and locked by him in advance. I don't know if he had planned it in advance or it was just an accident."

"What the hell is that power? Is it magic? Why do I feel like he can control me?" Before Thor said a word, thunder rolled across the sky; the thick dark clouds almost crushed the Carpathian Mountains.

"That power... I can't explain it clearly. But there is no doubt that the writer's power is getting stronger and stronger; in the past few years, his growth rate has been astonishing." God of War Tyr was also at a loss.

After dozens of deafening thunders, Thor finally calmed down a little; he was still indignant when he spoke, but the object of his anger was not the writer who was his enemy, but another member of the Norse pantheon.

"I've said it before, I can't do this kind of delicate work. These things should be done by Loki, but He has been hiding on the other side of the ocean and has done nothing for several years."

Tyr advised, "He is looking for Patrick Morgan, who is a greater threat." Although he said so, His Excellency the God of War's tone did not seem so certain.

"He has been looking for him for many years. He has been looking for Patrick Morgan since the first time he met the writer, but he still hasn't found him." Thor turned the hammer of Thor over and over, his anxiety evident in his words. "I suspect that He has no intention of doing anything, whether it is creating the 'unknown' or looking for Patrick Morgan. Who knows where He spent his mind and what he did?"

Tyr reproached, "You have a deep prejudice against Him. I don't know about other things, but when it comes to avoiding Ragnarok, Loki is more eager than us."

Thor disagreed: "Yes, of course I know. If the Unknown cannot change Ragnarok, our father will have to take the last resort; in that case, Loki will be the first to suffer. But what if? What if it is because of this that Loki secretly has other little thoughts? Will He secretly plan a way out for himself? The Time Forbidden Zone is a good opportunity. No matter what he does, he can avoid the sight of the God King."

Tyr frowned. Although he knew that such speculation would seriously undermine unity and would be extremely detrimental to the Norse pantheon's achievement of common goals, he had to admit that Thor's concerns did exist.

Just from his position as a god, it can be seen that Loki is not a trustworthy god; the source of suspicion lies in this god of lies and tricks. Once this chain of suspicion is formed, it cannot be resolved until everything is revealed.

Unfortunately, these two gods, who were known for their fighting prowess, were never good at using their brains. They were more likely to break their brains by thinking too much. Just when they decided to give up thinking about this problem again, as they had done in the past few years, they suddenly received a message from Loki.

An anxious and panicked voice sounded in the ears of the two gods, and each word was so short: "I am in danger! Patrick... found me... because... His secret..."

The sound was completely cut off after the word "secret" was heard.

"Hmm, we just mentioned Loki and Patrick, and we got news about them?" Thor was so surprised that he even forgot to fiddle with the hammer in his hand. "What does He mean by these words?"

"I don't know. It sounds like Loki found out some secret of Patrick Morgan, and then was visited by him." Tyr's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.

"Patrick dares to take the initiative to find Loki?" Thor found it incredible, because he was used to judging problems from the perspective of combat strength. "Although Loki is indeed a little weak, doesn't he have Hela by his side? Even if Patrick merged all of Ares's godhood, he might not be better than the father and daughter together, not to mention that Ares's godhood is not complete." "These questions can only be asked to Loki. I can't contact him anymore, how about you?"

Thor released his divine consciousness to try, then shook his head and said, "I can't do it either."

"Be careful. If something has happened to him, there may be enemy traps in his hiding place." As Tyr spoke, he drew the sword from his waist, prepared for battle in advance, and then jumped up suddenly.

The huge reaction force caused the ground to collapse instantly, and Tyr's figure streaked across the sky like a meteor.

Thor swung his hammer and flew over the clouds riding on lightning.

It's not that they don't know how to teleport, but it's safer to do so. Although it will be a few minutes late, it allows them to observe the scene in advance when approaching it and avoid possible traps.

Both of them are gods of combat, and besieging a point and attacking its reinforcements is a common occurrence in war; perhaps only a master of micro-manipulation would fail again and again due to the same tactics of the enemy.

In just two or three minutes, Thor and Tyr crossed most of Europe, the entire Atlantic Ocean, and half of North America. When they restrained all their breath and carefully approached Loki's hiding place, they heard a familiar voice.

"The Rocky Mountains... You actually chose this place as your hiding place. Did you choose it because the name sounds similar to your own and you feel a sense of familiarity with it?"

The owner of this voice had just fought a battle with them less than ten minutes ago, and personally handed them another defeat. His sudden appearance here at this moment undoubtedly surprised the two Nordic gods, and they quickly erupted with strong hostility.

Firstly, it was because of the failure he had just experienced, and secondly, it was because the other party might be the murderer who caused Loki to be in danger.

The writer's voice continued to be heard from the top of the mountain: "This place is not far from Yellowstone Park. Do you all like to stay by the volcano, and not just the creatures of Muspelheim?"

Thor and Tyr stopped at the same time and looked at each other.

From this, could it be that the author was talking to another Norse god? Could it be that Loki was controlled by the other party?
At this time, the person I was talking to finally spoke, in a voice that was sometimes clear and sometimes hoarse, and it could only be heard that it was a female voice: "I don't like it here."

This voice is still familiar to Thor and the others. Although they don't have many opportunities to meet it, this voice that repeatedly switches between two extremes is so special that it is hard to forget once you hear it.

That is the voice of Hela, the goddess of death.

Moreover, unlike Thor and the God of War who were hiding, the writer and the God of Death in Loki's hiding place did not deliberately conceal their breath; the cold, desolate and exclusive breath of the God of Death continued to spread around, as if he wanted to make the surrounding environment more comfortable.

This icy feeling from hell made the writer very uncomfortable, and he had to resist it by burning his microcosm to prevent himself from being wrapped in ice.

The true identity of the speaker can also be determined through the unique energy aura.

"I know you should prefer the snowy glaciers," Lin You's voice sounded again, "So you said you have been staying in Canada, and close to the Arctic Circle? In terms of straight-line distance, it is not far from your Nordic hometown."

At this time, Thor and Tyr were close enough that they could no longer hide their divine aura. They had only two choices: either launch an immediate attack or wait to be discovered by the other side.

The two sides did not fight in the end.

"Why are you here?" Thor, who had exposed himself, strode to the top of the mountain and faced the writer and the god of death; his questioning was only directed at Lin You.

"It's the same reason why you are here." Lin You seemed to have quickly sorted out the situation and made an accurate judgment. "I also received the distress signal sent by Loki; but I was too far away, one step slower than Lady Hela, and you... came even later than me? You know, when I received the signal, I was still in Durmstrang dealing with the trouble you caused! That wizard told everyone about his ideas and put the information in the library, scattered everywhere."

It would be fine if the writer didn't say anything, but mentioning this is simply a provocation.

Thor was about to lose his temper subconsciously, but was stopped by the God of War.

"You are the first to arrive. Have you found anything?" Tyr asked Hela respectfully. As the ruler of the underworld of the Norse pantheon, Hela's underworld accepts the souls of all living beings in the Ninth Realm - not just humans; even gods, as long as they do not die in battle, their souls will enter Hela's underworld.

In terms of authority, Hela's status is only slightly inferior to that of the God-King Odin; within the scope of Her authority, She does not even give the God-King and God-Queen any face.

“It was a sudden attack. My father was caught off guard.” Hela’s voice, which was sometimes high and sometimes low, sounded very uncomfortable, just like her half-living and half-withered face, which completely destroyed the original beauty of the goddess. “There were two attackers—at least two.”

"There were two who took action, but we are not sure if there was a third one." Lin You helped add, "The two who took action were at least as powerful as you; so Loki had no power to resist at all, and he even had time to send out only half of the distress signal before it was cut off halfway."

Tyr did not immediately believe Lin You's words, but turned to look at Hela. Compared to his opponents in the Norse pantheon, His Excellency the God of War obviously believed in Loki's biological daughter more.

“There are some traces that I cannot understand, but I can guarantee that the traces of battle left here are still the same as when I first saw them.” Hela’s cold tone did not seem to distinguish between friend and foe.

Lin You smiled slightly and raised his hand to make a "please" gesture: "Look for yourself; there are two sneak attackers, one is using a long sword, and the other one cannot tell the type of weapon, but he is burly and seems to be of the same size as Your Excellency the God of War."
