I don't like the gods, I want to be a hero

Asgard, Asgard, the meeting place of the gods

Determined, Baldr summoned the gods who had nothing to do, and wanted to gather the wisdom of the gods to fulfill his promise to Seleus.

When they heard Baldr's purpose, the gods also responded one after another. On the one hand, they wanted to show Baldr face, and on the other hand, they were also full of interest in the 'reward that would satisfy everyone'.

In this way, the huge palace was filled with a peaceful and happy atmosphere.

On the back of a pillar in the corner of the palace, a god in a cloak was leaning against the pillar, with his arms folded, his back turned to the gods behind him who were caught in the celebration, silent.

His face was shrouded in shadows, and his expression could not be seen clearly. He was clearly in the feast of the gods, but his body was shrouded in a sense of alienation and loneliness that was completely inconsistent with the festive atmosphere.

He just leaned his back on the pillar, silently listening to the laughter of the gods who were only a few steps away behind him. The short distance seemed to separate them into two completely different worlds.

No one noticed him, or rather, he didn't want people to notice him...

Chapter 35 Conspiracy

Atrium, Midgard

The demon wolf who just swallowed the enemy who angered him clenched his sharp fangs tightly, intending to bite him in two.

In its mouth, Seleus, whose body is covered with divine marks, supported the mountain-like weight with both hands, while his feet firmly pressed against the gums below.

"Should I say... as expected of a monster that even Odin would destroy... breaking his oath?"

His face was flushed, his pupils were flushed, he clenched his teeth, and his hands were struggling to support the unimaginably heavy and unbelievable upper jaw of the demon wolf.

The height is being pulled away by Serius little by little, and it is lifted abruptly to the point where he can straighten his body.

"Although the size and strength are far inferior to its brothers, but relying on unparalleled defense and strange means, even Odin will be in a hard fight."

[If it is the gods of this world, even God King Odin will come to an end the moment he is swallowed. 】

"That is to say... I am the nemesis of this guy."

In a world where undead do not exist and there are no effective means against undead, the existence of an undead can be called a dimensionality reduction blow.

"No wonder this guy gives me far less oppressive feeling than its younger brother Yemengarde, although I really can't hurt it."

"Zizizi——"

The shining thunder spread out, and after paralyzing the wolf's nerves, it all merged into Serius' body, and turned into shining runes to enhance his strength.

Pure, shining, and infinitely bright, accompanied by the dazzling thunder, Seleus directly opened the two rows of mountain-like fangs on the top and bottom of the wolf, and flew straight out.

"However, since it can't be hurt..." Then, Seleus, who escaped from the wolf's mouth, raised his right hand high.

"boom!"

The thunderbolt exploded, and the light of thunder that fell from the sky crashed into Serius's raised right hand, and then, the sword of Olympus that broke out with the song of a thousand birds appeared here, and extended the thunder blade straight to the sky.

Then, the indescribable lightning turned into endless light, and the incomparably shining Olympus was slammed towards the demon wolf who had not recovered from the paralysis...

.........

Asgard, Asgard Garden, Frigga's palace behind

"Badr, my proudest son, you are looking for me for the 'reward that will satisfy everyone', right?"

On the throne, the Queen of God, Frigga, looked at the gentle God of Light, Badr, with a smile all over her face.

"Yes, Queen Mother." Baldr was not surprised, after all, his recent actions have already spread throughout Asgard, even the Vanir Protoss and elves have heard of it.

"I want to ask you for the knowledge of 'primordial runes'..."

The original rune was the mysterious text that God King Odin hung himself upside down on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights, and offered Odin as a sacrifice to the God King. It has almost omnipotent power.

Later, Odin taught the runes, which he called "Rune Runes", to the gods and a few mortals, and beings with different levels of wisdom have completely different levels of mastery of runes.

Just like Thor, as the god of strength and thunder, although he is recognized as the strongest among the gods, he is used to looking for Loki when he is indecisive. to zero.

And the sun goddess Sul whom Seleus first encountered, as a descendant of a giant, she is better at using the power of runes than Thor, a god with a relatively pure blood.

But when it comes to the Nine Realms, apart from Odin, the one who is best at rune, even the original rune, can only be Frigg as the queen of God.

"If there is any reward that can make everyone faultless, it must be the almost omnipotent 'Original Rune'." Although he is the most beloved son, Badr still respectfully respects him. saluted his own mother.

"So, I want to ask my mother to bestow on me the wisdom of the 'Original Rune' so that I can fulfill my promise."

"Since it is your request, I will naturally not refuse." Frigga nodded without hesitation. "But since it involves 'primordial runes', wouldn't it be better for Odin to teach it himself? After all, he is the only one who really masters the original runes."

"I also have various considerations." Bader shook his head, with an expression of indescribable helplessness. "Although I don't know the specifics, it is an indisputable fact that my father withheld the most wanted reward from Serius."

"So, in order to prevent things from going wrong again, I can only come and ask my mother..."

.........

In the Asaph Garden, Baldr, the God of Light, was sitting quietly in the garden, carefully reading the original rune teaching book that Odin specially made for his heir.

"Mother has promised to hand over the knowledge of the 'Original Rune' to Seleus, and my promise has almost been fulfilled." Following the track of magic power recorded in the book, Badr practiced earnestly.

"But as a friend, my heart must be fulfilled."

"ANSUZ, PURISAZ, RAIDO..." Accompanied by writing, he said quickly in his mouth.

Gods, monsters, and knights, with these three original runes as the core, plus various deformations and modifications, a complex magic written by the gods was formed in an instant.

"It's done." Feeling his soaring strength and his body becoming extremely light, the corners of Badr's mouth couldn't help but rise. "Since it is effective, I can teach Serius with the original runes left by my mother..."

"call!"

Amidst the sound of howling piercing through the air, a long spear shining with cold light suddenly flew towards Badr who was serious about writing the original rune. There was a look of surprise on his face.

However, the long spear that was about to shoot Baldr suddenly lost all its strength in mid-air, and fell to the ground with a "squeak".

"Sure enough, I can't hurt Baldr." The laughter of several gods came from a distance, and when he heard the laughter of his companions, the stunned Baldr just smiled, and then continued to read the book.

Since everything in the universe swore not to harm Baldr, he can no longer be injured, and there is no danger of life or death. Therefore, throwing all kinds of weapons at Baldr, the God of Light, has become a new activity among the bored gods. game.

The mild-tempered Badr did not protest the actions of his fellow clansmen either. Firstly, he understood that everyone had no malicious intentions, and secondly, these things could not hurt him in the final analysis.

Moreover, let alone Baldr, who is invulnerable to injury, even the other gods who are really mortal, according to the temperament of these bold, alcoholic, and drinking-crazed Norse gods, they often throw each other For play.

Not far away, a god with a strong figure but shrouded in shadow looked enviously and lonely at Baldr, the god of light not far away.

He is the brother of the God of Light Baldr, the God of Darkness Hodr, but unlike his brother, Baldr is tall and handsome and is loved by all the gods, while Hodr is inconspicuous because of his ordinary appearance and gloomy personality.

It is obvious that his strength has steadily entered the top five in the Asa Protoss, and it is obvious that he has worked hard and never compromised the tasks assigned by his father Odin, but everyone, including his mother Frigga, only pays attention to Baldr. He doesn't care about his brother.

Wordless jealousy ignited in his heart, but he didn't let the feeling of jealousy stay in his heart for long, after all, he still respected his elder brother.

Finally, looking at Badr in the distance, he could only sigh helplessly.

"Alas..." In an instant, two sighs sounded at the same time.

Hoddle turned his head hastily, only to find a figure who should not have appeared here.

"Loki!"

Chapter 36 Past and Past

Everything in the world yearns for light, because it represents life and beauty.

And Baldr shines like light, no matter where he goes, there will be lights.

He is the first and most beloved son of God King Odin and God Queen Frigga.

Among all Asa gods, Baldr is always the wisest, gentlest, and most elegant one. When he announces his decision, everyone will be impressed by his wisdom and fairness.

And just like the light he symbolizes, Badr will not have any bad thoughts because of the good or evil, gender, race, or origin of the other party. He always treats everyone equally and returns the same light.

Even Loki, who has always been fond of pranks, couldn't think of playing tricks on Baldr when facing him.

From Asgard, where the gods live, to Jotunheim, where the frost giants live, except that Baldr was refused to go by everyone in the Underworld of Heim because of the ubiquitous death aura, they are everywhere in the eight worlds. friend.

It can be said that the existence of Baldr is the proof of the prosperity and strength of the entire Asgard, and he has therefore become the pride of the entire Asir clan, and is the undisputed next-generation god-king.

However, Baldr, who is full of light, has been plagued by nightmares...

............

"what!!!"

In Asgard, a beautiful palace emitting infinite light, suddenly there was a shrill scream.

In the bedroom decorated with all kinds of gold and silver, the god of light, Badr, sat on the bed, panting heavily.

He had just woken up from a nightmare, his handsome face still covered with sweat stains was full of panic, and his emerald green eyes were still trembling from time to time.

Even after waking up, the destruction and darkness he dreamed of still lingered in his ears, and Baldr was tormented by this unspeakable pain.

After a long time, he stroked his forehead and slowly moaned in pain.

"Badr, the God of Light, is haunted by nightmares!"

The news spread throughout Asgard almost overnight, and even the elves and the Vanir protoss talked about it.

After meditating for a long time, Odin rode on his eight-legged Pegasus, and prepared to go to Hela, the Lord of Death, to ask about the situation.

In this world, if there are still some signs of death that even he, who is a god king and drinks "wisdom", doesn't know, then probably only Hela, the king of the underworld, and Mimir, the wise giant, can Confused him.

The eight-legged horse cut through the sky, crossed the ocean, and followed the Styx River to the kingdom of death shrouded in thick fog.

However, to Odin's surprise, there was a sound of celebration at this moment in Hela, the kingdom of the underworld, where only death and famine existed.

The God King frowned slightly, but he didn't dare to really fall into the kingdom of death

He stretched out a finger to quickly draw in the air, and chanted various mysterious runes in his mouth. Not long after, the cold wind and heavy rain came under his spell.

Accompanied by the howling cold wind, Hela, who was much larger than a human and closer to a giant, came from the world of death in response to the call.

Flying in the air, she looked down at God King Odin who was riding an eight-legged horse in front of her. There was no sign of respect between her cold brows.

The Pluto just leaned slightly towards Odin, which was a sign that she recognized their subordinate relationship, but other than that, Hela didn't say anything else.

"The king of gods called me, do you have any questions?"

"Why is there a sound of celebration in your palace?" Odin raised his head and asked loudly.

"The world of death is about to welcome a noble person, so we brewed mellow honey wine for him and prepared a sumptuous banquet for him." Hela's eyes were extremely cold, and her words were vague.

"Who is that man?" Odin asked aggressively, he knew too well who the so-called 'noble man' was.

Look at Hela's cold face, he doesn't have that much face as a god king.

"The living have the rules of the living, but the dead also have the order of the dead. Everything that lives must die. Even though you are a god-king, there are some things that should not be pursued too much."

Hela shook her head. Now she is not the little girl standing on the golden palace who couldn't help herself. With the support of the whole underworld, she doesn't need to take anyone's face into account when it comes to death.

Odin's brows were tightly furrowed, and his old face was covered by a thick gray beard, making it hard to see what he was thinking. "That man is Baldr, isn't it?"

"Since the God King has the answer in his heart, why bother to ask it knowingly?" The corner of Hela's mouth was slightly raised, and it was unknown whether it was because of Balder's arrival or because of Balder's death.

"Is there no way to stop it?" The God King stared closely at Hela in front of him.

"Maybe." Hela's face was a little more cold and dissatisfied. "But that's not what you, the living, can continue to ask."

Saying so, without waiting for Odin to reply, she returned to her palace on her own.

Hela's attitude is obvious. As the king of the dead, all the dead are under the jurisdiction of Hela, even if the gods are dead.

On the other hand, Odin is the god-king who rules over all living beings, and the identities of the two should be equal.

Although Odin relied on the power of the original rune and Hela had to bow her head and surrender because of the means Hela arranged when she was a child, this does not mean that Hela needs to make concessions to Odin in everything, especially when things involve death.

Odin quietly looked at the departing king of the dead, until Hela's huge figure completely disappeared from his sight, and then he returned to Asgard feeling lost...

"Hela affirmed the news of Badr's death."

Odin, who sat back on the throne, was silent for a long time, and then slowly opened his mouth to meet the worried eyes of the God Queen Frigg.

"You mean..." God Empress Frigg immediately reached out to hold her husband, but the solemn words in the past were only sad and desolate at this moment. "Is there no other way?"

God King Odin was silent for a long time, then shook his head. The only thing that could save Baldr was the power of immortality.

But... in a world where the world itself has an end, how can there be that kind of extravagant power.

Frigga, who understood everything from Odin's silence, looked in another direction sadly...

That Baldr, her eldest son, who was lying on the bed and fell into endless pain because of being tortured by nightmares.

The Queen of God bit her lower lip, looking at her child who was suffering at the moment, showing a strong expression of intolerance.

"I don't believe it! If there is no other way, I will never believe it!" Frigga stood up directly, and the gorgeous armor followed the light attached to her beautiful but very tough body.
