Chapter 95: Pride? Inferiority?

After hearing Etzel's arrogant words, Hermod's heart surged with anger for no reason.

It was also for this reason that his words were unconsciously tinged with sarcasm.

The word 'confidence' is definitely a great humiliation for Etzel now.

Although Helmold didn't see the whole process of the duel, he heard a general result from Slude.

No matter from which point of view, Etzel's 'defeat' is definitely a shame.

Because he was defeated by his own 'self-confidence', even the word 'pride'.

Even if he himself doesn't care about winning or losing in this respect, it would be a shame as long as he is singled out by others.

Hermod thought so.

However, to the surprise of the God of War envoy, Etzel did not become angry with embarrassment.

Even, his expression didn't fluctuate in the slightest, as if he still wanted to laugh.

"I am confident?"

Speaking of these words, Etzel's grin looked extremely mocking.

"No, why do you think I need to feel inferior?"

Immediately afterwards, the King of Hunlan's gaze was fixed, and an aura was crushed from top to bottom.

After facing the majestic momentum displayed by Etzel, Hermod subconsciously took a step back.

However, just after he realized that he seemed to be backing away, a twist appeared on his handsome face.

How could this be so.

Why would I back off!

But before he could think about anything, Etzel laughed out loud.

"Do you think I'm as weak as you? Because I've been defeated once or twice, I'm extremely afraid of that person's existence."

"..."

In the end, Hermod seemed to be pissed off.

Although he didn't speak, the raised corner of his mouth was extremely ferocious.

"Am I afraid? Don't forget that he can..."

"God? Or divine power?"

Having said that, Etzel couldn't help laughing playfully.

"He also beat Thor once."

"Ah, Thor."

God of thunder.

Perhaps in Hermod's view, the name of the God of Thunder is enough to make the man in front of him take it seriously.

But on the contrary, there was no change in his expression.

Even, he wanted to laugh.

"The so-called god of thunder is nothing more than that. After all, he is only a god who controls the thunder. Without the magic hammer Mjolnir, without the power belt and iron gloves, he is only worthy of praise for his thunder power."

On the surface, the proud Etzel seemed to look down on the God of Thunder at all.

Even, without knowing the reason, he had a vague intention to target it.

"I am different from you and Thor. Without the blessing of divine power, all Thor possesses is brute force. As for you, you may not even be able to bear the armor of God."

Etzel casually pointed out Helmode's dark history.

In fact, this is indeed the case, the pure god iron armor is indeed too heavy for this god known for its speed.

He usually relied on his physique strengthened by divine power after becoming a god to prop up that divine iron armor.

And once he loses his divine power, he will fall back to his original state.

Although for ordinary demigods, they should have a strong physique.

Just like the Volsung family, even if their blood is thin, they can easily wield a weapon made of divine iron.

However, Hermod's own strength is actually not that great.

According to the gods, it is malnourished since childhood.

And after getting used to the divine power, once the power is emptied, the armor on his body will become a 'cage', firmly imprisoning him in place.

Even a few years ago, he was directly twisted off by that man because of this defect.

"You are used to the existence of divine power, and once the divine power disappears, you will feel uncomfortable all over, even Thor will feel uncomfortable."

It's like an able-bodied person suddenly losing a hand.

Although you can definitely get used to it after a long time, it will cause various accidents at the moment of breaking your hand.

"And I'm different from you. I didn't have any supernatural power from the beginning, but even so, I can still beat the so-called gods including you."

Etzel's words were full of things that made Helmod very angry.

But besides the anger, what churned deep in his heart was aggrieved thoughts.

Not because of anything else, because he has no way to refute, what Etzel said is right.

Etzel's own strength is indeed beyond common sense, and the weapons he uses are also slightly weird.

As long as he is a little careless, the long whip in the hand of the Hunlan King can quickly tear his neck off.

"So, why am I not confident?"

Just when the envoy of the war god was silent, Etzel spoke.

"To be honest, I prefer to use my kingdom to collide with them than the so-called conspiracy. Isn't that the reason why I exist here?"

Then, he reached out and patted Hermod on the shoulder.

Although it seemed enthusiastic, there was a warning in his words.

"The reason why that bad old man allowed me to stir up trouble here and build up a huge kingdom is that he hopes to use my power to do something that you guys who are like bitches who set up archways can't do."

Hearing Etzel's words, Hermod's face gradually became gloomy.

He could tell that the man in front of him didn't care about any plans at all.

He didn't even care what those who were out of the hands of the gods were doing.

More importantly, the kingdom called "God's Punishment" created by him has a pivotal position in Midgard.

As he himself said, the Kingdom of Hungary is destined to have a war with other kingdoms.

The Netherlands could not escape either.

Not because of anything else, because as far as the gods are concerned, what the man who was playing games with them is playing is an upright conspiracy.

He just knew that the gods were unwilling to completely tear their faces and break the great image that had been erected for a long time.

They will definitely abide by the rules of the world that they themselves set.

The Netherlands can of course be destroyed, but this destruction must not come from the hand of the gods.

To put it bluntly, you can play tricks in it, but you can't be discovered.

Just like Harald, the king of war teeth, was calculated.

"To put it bluntly, I am the last line of defense arranged by that bad old man."

They are knives.

It is the punishment blade placed by the gods in the world, and it is the whip of the gods.

The purpose of his own existence is to adjust the forces of all parties in the atrium world in the form of war, and set off a new round of struggle under peaceful conditions.

So Etzel was fearless, so he could even ignore the various arrangements made by Helmold.

Because he had no reason to go at the pace of the envoy!

"I will pass on your thoughts to Father God."

"Go, go, really, just don't forget to continue to convey my request, I still don't have a weapon in hand yet."

In the end, Hermod turned into a meteor and flew directly into the sky.

And Etzel just witnessed the distant glow, and then looked up at the sky.

As if watching something.

But in the end, he stretched himself.

"Speaking of which, spring is coming soon, and this is not a good time to fight. I have to go home and farm."

Chapter 96: The Movement of the Gods

Helmode and Etzel are contradictory in every sense.

Whether it's ideas, personalities or other aspects, they have too many conflicts.

It is for this reason that conversations between Helmod and Etzel never end well.

Breaking up on bad terms is a common thing.

And to go too far, Etzel would even threaten the envoy who delivered the message with killing.

Also because of this reason, Etzel has always been able to control the initiative in the dialogue.

He used facts to fully explain a certain default barbaric rule common in the nine worlds:

To have strength is to be able to do whatever you want.

He does have the capital of arrogance, and his special position does allow him to show off his strength, and even ignore other gods.

Not to mention the 'little' envoy Hermod, even Thor, the God of Thunder who guards the Plain of Power and the first portal after the Rainbow Bridge, doesn't seem to take him seriously.

Even the great king of the gods who ruled the entire Nine Realms is just a 'hateful old man' in his eyes.

He never concealed his disdain, nor did he hide his dislike.

Even, he seemed to take everything for granted.

This attitude makes people feel uncomfortable and disgusting, and it is inevitable.

"How arrogant, how arrogant!"

As the oppressed party, his sense of discomfort is natural.

But when it made him feel bored, he didn't dare to vent his dissatisfaction and anger in front of the Hungarian King.

Because every time he had such a tendency, Etzel would forcibly suppress it with force and give more pungent satire.

His rage would only grow, and that would only make him more incompetent.

And there seems to be only one thing he can do.

That is to report these things today to the king of the gods.
