Chapter 458: God of Trickery and Lies

Loki sat in the distance.

Hades was in high spirits, the Aesir gods and the underworld monsters were fighting fiercely, and no one noticed that a raven flew out of Odin's half body and fled into the distance.

Loki saw it, but didn't speak to remind anyone.

At the same time, he also saw Thor step on the chest of the Sun Goddess Sól and pick up a skull from the embers of the fire giant Surtur and put it on his head. A group of flames flashed in his eyes, and he breathed a sigh of relief, turned his head, and smashed the skull of the great snake Jörmungandr with a hammer, and then roasted the giant wolf Fenrir to medium-rare with a bolt of lightning.

The battle didn't go as smoothly as Hades expected. Thor suddenly displayed fighting power far beyond expectations, not only killing the two strongest underworld monsters in a few moves but also forcing Hela to retreat in a few moves, making Hades stare in shock.

While he was still suspicious, Thor had already picked up an old head from the collapsed Valhalla palace, "Mimir, my eyes."

A pleading look appeared on Mimir's sorrowful face, but he had to open his mouth helplessly, and inside was a crystal-clear blue eyeball.

Thor took the eyeball, ignored Mimir's begging, and smashed his head to pieces. Then he came to the giant wolf Fenrir, tore its big mouth, reached in, and took out Odin's complete head, pulling off the eyepatch on his right eye.

Under Odin's eyepatch, it wasn't empty. There was also a shining eye placed there.

"Eye of Horus..." Seeing those two eyes, Hades suddenly understood, "You are Apollo... you are Horus... you are..."

Before he could finish his words, Thor gouged out his own eyes, and then installed the two Eyes of Horus into his eye sockets.

Suddenly, peerless and boundless light radiated from Thor. His figure suddenly disappeared from everyone's sight, and then appeared beside Hades, "Remembered it? My uncle, Hades, or should I call you Set? After a thousand years, it's still the same story, and you will still be the same ending."

Saying this, he smashed with a hammer. Hades suddenly turned into black smoke and tried to escape, but at this moment, a long sword burning with flames suddenly drilled out from the ground, piercing Hades's chest from behind, pinning him in place, unable to move.

That Thor's hammer smashed down, and peerless thunder spread, tearing Hades into pieces.

"Light." Thor said, and a sun-halo-like ring of light rose behind him.

"Chaos." He spoke again, reaching out and kneading Hades's fragments into a twisted group of black smoke, stuffing it into his mouth.

In an instant, his figure expanded, the sun ring on his head was like a real scorching sun, and his face also gradually changed, his nose elongated, feathers grew, and a pair of eagle-like wings appeared behind his arms.

An ancient, supreme, and noble deity was resurrected after thousands of calamities.

Atum, Khepri, Horus, Amun.

Sun God, God of Rebirth, God of Wisdom, Creator of Life, Controller of Earth, Sky, and Underworld, the supreme ancient King of Gods—Ra.

In the distance, Loki watched all this and didn't feel surprised.

He had long noticed some abnormalities in Apollo and had some guesses about his relationship with Amun and Ra.

The image, name, divine office, and even divinity of gods will change in the continuous spread and change of mythology. Some gods derived from them may become their incarnations and be controlled by them, or conversely, be swallowed by the incarnations to replace the old with the new, or merge into one to become a new god.

Gods are born from faith, so they are naturally subject to faith. They seem omnipotent, but it is difficult to maintain their true selves.

This is also the reason why Murphy disdains walking the path of gods formed by faith.

Then, he saw "Ra" return to Thor's appearance and start a massacre of Hades's underworld monsters.

The "Thor" who absorbed many gods, many divinities, and had ancient wisdom and authority was almost omnipotent. His power far exceeded the previous Odin, and the underworld army that lost Hades's command was like a stray dog, unable to resist at all, and was soon killed by Thor leading the Aesir gods, fleeing in panic.

Driving away the enemy, in the ruins and devastation, Thor stood on the pillar of the collapsed Valhalla palace and spoke to all the Aesir gods.

"I am Thor, I am Sól, I am the sun, I am the thunder, I am war, I am wisdom, I am life, I am authority!"

"The foreign gods stole my eyes and wisdom, blocked my power, and deceived our Aesir gods. Zeus, Hades, they are the masterminds of the Twilight of the Gods! Our Aesir gods and the Olympian gods must have a battle!"

Loki heard this sentence from afar. He smiled lightly and turned to leave.

The war here is not over yet.

Ra's resurrection and the thunder authority possessed by Thor both pointed directly to Zeus, the main god of Olympus.

Ra, or Apollo, still hadn't completed the plan of "killing his father as a son" to occupy the Olympian throne.

But Loki was no longer interested in watching. His experiment here was over.

The "Twilight of the Gods prophecy" of the Norse gods largely came from the fear of the Roman Empire by various Norse peoples, and the Greek gods, or the Olympian pantheon representing the Roman gods, naturally became the ultimate promoters of the Twilight of the Gods.

He had already seen that it was not the gods' planning that determined everything, but the despair and struggle of the believers that shaped the fate of the gods.

His arrangements here were also completed.

Although he didn't anticipate many variables, the calculations and conspiracies, victories and defeats between these gods didn't affect his plan.

Cooperating with Apollo and Hades, promoting the arrival of the Twilight of the Gods through the hands of both, and the gold that finally returned to the bottom of the Rhine were the greatest achievements.

Loki walked towards the border of Asgard.

In the distance, Thor seemed to feel something. He threw his divine hammer, but the hammer, which was enough to kill the King of the Underworld, stopped ten meters behind Loki's head, unable to advance at all.

"Catch him!" Thor ordered.

However, Loki had already stepped out of the border of the Aesir domain. The curse fire here was still burning fiercely. Being touched by that fire, the skin, flesh, and bones of the gods would be melted. All their divine artifacts and magic seemed to be of no avail against that fire.

But Loki was unharmed in the fire. That deadly fire was like a gentle breeze to him, sweeping away all the dust and disguise on him.

The fire licked away the skull patterns painted with chalk on his face, revealing a handsome and firm face.

The red hair that was unruly and elegant like fire also burned away the fake color and became black and smooth again.

The young man looked back slightly, glanced at the gods behind him, took out a pocket-watch-like object from his pocket, and then suddenly disappeared.

The experiment is over, everything is ready.

He temporarily took off the shell of the God of Trickery.

He was going to the next era, where he would prepare another great lie for the gods.
