Falsifying history is good business

Chapter 400: Avoiding the Worst Outcome of Ragnarok

Loki was nailed to the ground by the "spear" and could only look up with difficulty to find Lin You's figure; this action made him very uncomfortable, and the slightest movement would cause severe pain in his chest. But now he could not care about it; when the God of Lies and Deceptions found himself a victim of others' lies and deceptions, he was eager to know the truth.

"What's the bet? What did Odin do? What did you do?"

Lin You calmly replied: "We are doing our best to maintain the stability of the big world. The 'unknown' was created by the Norse gods, and I, the writer, destroyed the 'unknown'. In the end, the winner will be determined by whether the 'unknown' can be successfully realized; the scope of the gambling game is limited to the time restricted zone.

If the Norse pantheon wins, how much "unknown" they can create and whether they can win the approval of the will of the greater world is up to them to work hard, and other pantheons cannot interfere; if Odin loses, he must obey the arrangements of other pantheons and cannot act on his own on the issue of the "unknown". However, the gods will help Odin implement the original "Ragnarok" plan. "

Loki's face was filled with doubt: "How could the gods agree to such conditions? That's not possible, that's not possible..."

"Are you trying to say that this bet has given Odin a big advantage?" Lin You smiled helplessly. "Then if I tell you that this bet can only be established under a prerequisite, that is, Odin must give up any intention of separating the Nine Realms from the Great World; do you understand? You can think of this as a compromise that the Supreme Gods have to make under the 'Balance of Terror' in order to protect the existing main framework of the Great World."

Seeing Loki's disbelieving and distraught look, Lin You comforted him: "Don't think that Odin will get the upper hand in the end; if He loses the bet, He will be in big trouble when He implements the Ragnarok plan in the future!"

Loki could not help but say angrily, "What kind of trouble could "he" have? Aren't I and my people in trouble? We are destined to be abandoned and exiled."

"That's really regrettable... But maybe that's life." Lin You didn't have any sympathy at all. How could a mortal be qualified to sympathize with a born true god? "For Odin, the 'Ragnarok' he planned is very different from the ending of the story of 'Ragnarok' in the real dimension. Do you know what this means?"

Loki snorted coldly: "It means it goes against the worldview of the big world and causes logical errors." If it were not for this reason, he would not have thought of threatening Odin by exposing relevant information.

"That's right! What should we do if there is a mistake?" Lin You patiently advised.

"Of course I have to..." Loki suddenly realized, "Your quill pen!"

"Yes, use my quill pen to make the changes." Seeing that Loki understood everything immediately, Lin You smiled with relief, "Once Odin is forced to restart the 'New Ragnarok' plan, he will need me as the writer to help him with his plan. This is also the reason why he repeatedly showed his goodwill to me in the past, and chose to reveal his plan at the last minute; because I can help him avoid the worst outcome."

It is easy to say that the writer will cover the "Twilight of the Gods" plan, but it requires the Norse pantheon to voluntarily give up most of the restrictions on the quill pen and leave the fate of the Norse gods - at least part of their fate - to the writer to rewrite.

Loki suddenly laughed miserably, full of self-mockery: "It turns out that everything I did was in vain, and even ruined the best chance to change my own destiny."

Lin You spread his hands, seemingly unable to think of any words of comfort.

Once Odin's "New Ragnarok" plan is implemented, regardless of success or failure, Loki's gods, giants, and even various monsters will inevitably be the biggest victims. Their only chance to avoid this fate is to gamble in the time restricted area with the "unknown" as the bargaining chip.

However, Loki had ill intentions since he entered the time forbidden zone. He only wanted to test the writer, contact the god of truth, make friends for his future fight against Odin, and made painstaking efforts to lay a backup plan; but he forgot about the important matter of creating the "unknown".

In the past eight or nine years, Thor and Tyr, who were in charge of the "unknown" affairs in Europe, were beaten back step by step; while Loki and Hela, who were in charge of America, almost stood by and did nothing. From a certain perspective, it was Loki who gave up the only chance for himself and his people to save themselves.

Now that I have figured it out, it is too late to turn back. The Norse pantheon does not have the tradition of trusting traitors; Thor and Tyr would rather take over the affairs of America themselves than let Loki go free.

It just so happened that these two had suffered repeated defeats in Europe and had almost wasted all the materials that could be used to create the "unknown"; now that they had taken over America, they were no longer afraid of being unable to split their time.

"Now that things have come to this, there is nothing more to say. I just want to ask you a question. Is the hidden true God beside Patrick Morgan real or fake, and what is his identity?" Lin You asked.

Loki closed his eyes, losing interest. "I've only heard of it, never seen it, so I don't know."

What kind of answer is this?
Lin You frowned slightly, wanting to ask again, but he saw that Loki's breath suddenly weakened, and he actually took the initiative to cut off all communication with the outside world, looking like he was quietly waiting to die.

"Well, it seems that the cooperation with the God of Lies and Trickery can only go so far. We can't expect more." Lin You spread his hands in front of Tyr and Thor, and then turned to another captive, "I wonder how His Excellency Hela will perform?"

Soon, the goddess of death returned to her body, but the "awakened" Hela still had to endure the excruciating pain brought by the snake venom.

"As you can see, you and your father's plan has failed miserably; is there anything else you would like to say now, Lady Hela?"

Unfortunately, Lin You's attempt to find another breakthrough hit a harder nail than Loki's.

Not only did Hela not provide any valuable information, she even mocked us, “In order to deal with us, you wantonly destroyed the background logic of a story world. Moreover, it is a story that has been integrated into the big world and has been followed by tens of millions of people in the real dimension. Those in power can really do whatever they want.”

"You're wrong. People in power can't do whatever they want in many things. Otherwise, we wouldn't have to make a bet with Odin." Lin You said with emotion, "In this story, what allowed me to do whatever I wanted was my brain, my wisdom, and more detailed information, not power."

Hela sneered, too lazy to argue, let alone believe it.

Agent Ross, a key figure in the story of the two generations of "Red Dead Redemption", has died, and his souls have flowed into the underworld of the big world; even with the power of a true God, he cannot enter the underworld and bring back the souls of the dead under the constraints of the current time forbidden zone.

In other words, the direction of the entire story was destined to be destroyed; following the Harry Potter story, the writer once again destroyed the established plot of a story with his own hands.

Lin You, however, didn't care at all, as if he was completely unaware of the seriousness of the matter.

"You only know that there are tens of millions of gamers in the real dimension who are following this game story, but don't you know that in the minds of game players, the ending of this story can be replaced? As long as I go with the flow, how can there be any damage?"
