Chapter 521: Odin (3rd Update, Requesting Monthly Tickets and Flowers)

As for Loki and Heimdall, they were utterly stunned.

Odin's words were even more shocking than what Jiang Hao had just delivered to them.

Could this really be the wise and mighty god-king who looked down on everyone?

He had just used an honorific when addressing Jiang Hao—calling him "you."

Even if Jiang Hao was powerful, it shouldn't go this far.

You are Odin, the god-king! Even Zeus, the god-king of Olympus, had no right to make Odin use an honorific—but now, a mortal from Midgard has done it.

It's like the Emperor addressing an ordinary person with honorifics during a national assembly.

Jiang Hao smiled.

He did not refuse.

Without any visible movement from Jiang Hao, Loki and Heimdall immediately found they could move again.

But Loki discovered his divine power still wouldn't respond.

After regaining mobility,

they both ran straight toward Odin without hesitation.

To be honest, Loki was deeply grateful that Odin appeared at this moment to save him.

Most importantly, Odin never called him an adopted son—he simply called him his son.

This suggested that, deep down, Odin still recognized him as his son.

"This guest from Midgard, may I ask what brings you to the realm of Asgard?"

"My goal is simple: your blood."

In the Marvel World, the power of Odin's lineage originated from "277," a primordial cow named Audhumla.

Audhumla was born in the chaos at the dawn of the universe.

She gave birth to Buri, the ancestor of the gods, and Ymir, the ancestor of the giants.

Buri was Odin's grandfather, the first god.

Ymir was the ancestor of the frost giants.

Buri eventually died at the hands of Ymir, the ancestor of the giants.

But before Buri died, he had already fathered a son named Bor.

After Buri's death, Bor sought revenge against the giant race for his father's murder.

In the end, the frost giant race was nearly wiped out.

Yet Bor himself, due to his arrogance, was ambushed by the frost giants and frozen into ice.

Afterward, Odin inherited the throne of Asgard and became the king of the gods.

Compared to his grandfather and father, Odin was stronger and more capable.

He quickly unified the Nine Realms.

And he completely suppressed the frost giant race.

In Buri's era, divine power was called Buri's Power.

In Bor's era, divine power was called Bor's Power.

In Odin's era, divine power was called Odin's Power.

After Odin's death and Thor's full awakening of his power, this divine force came to be called Thunder God's Power.

The divine power of Odin's family stems from bloodline, passed down in an unbroken lineage.

Loki, though descended from the frost giants,

is still connected to Odin's lineage, for the frost giants—and all giants—are descended from the same ancestor.

Their bloodlines are linked.

That is why Loki, despite being a frost giant, possesses divine power within him.

Odin's divine power, naturally, also stems from his bloodline.

So Jiang Hao wants Odin's blood—not some so-called divine authority.

In the Marvel World, the Aesir of Asgard have no such thing as divine authority.

Their power comes primarily from their own bloodline.

Bloodline grants them immense strength.

Without the divine bloodline, even if you were given the so-called "authority," you could not wield it.

"My blood?" Odin blinked in surprise.

He didn't immediately understand why Jiang Hao wanted his blood.

If he sought to claim their family's divine power,

just a little blood would be useless.

Though his blood did indeed contain his divine power,

that tiny amount could accomplish nothing.

"Yes, your blood," Jiang Hao nodded.

"I can give it to you—even give you all my blood—but I need your help. If you're willing to assist me, you may take anything you desire from my treasury, Odin's Vault."

"If you find it worthy, take this spear, Gungnir, as well," Odin fell silent for two seconds, then said something even Jiang Hao found surprising—he did not refuse.

Jiang Hao looked at Odin but did not respond immediately.

Though Odin had not yet spoken plainly, Jiang Hao already knew what favor Odin sought.

It was nothing more than preventing Ragnarök.

Odin knew he was nearing death.

Even if he does not die now, he will still die in a few years.

Living a few more years holds no meaning for him.

After all, he has already lived for over five thousand years.

Living a few more years holds no meaning for him.

Compared to that, the survival or destruction of Asgard is far more important.

Although he placed great expectations on Thor.

But he knows clearly that Thor cannot grow up in a short time.

Once he dies, Hela will inevitably rush out from the Netherworld.

At that time, Ragnarok will occur.

With Thor's strength, it is simply impossible to resolve it.

But the Jiang Hao before him is different.

He dares to say for certain that Jiang Hao is absolutely the strongest person he has ever met in his life.

Odin has one eye; in the legends of Midgard, he sacrificed one of his own eyes to gain wisdom.

In fact, having sacrificed one eye, he not only gained wisdom but also gained the ability to foresee the future.

But he can at most foresee events happening ten years later.

What he can see is not far; compared to Odin's lifespan, it is slightly useless.

But it is not without any effect at all.

And in the instant he just saw Jiang Hao.

Odin discovered that he was unexpectedly unable to see the future.

This made him immediately perceive Jiang Hao's special nature.

When he saw Jiang Hao holding two Infinity Stones in his hand.

Especially when he saw Jiang Hao holding the Infinity Stones without relying on any external objects.

He became even more certain of Jiang Hao's extraordinariness.

The energy of the Infinity Stones has no upper limit, so even if you do not use them, merely holding them will subject you to the energy impact of the Infinity Stones.

This is just like your hand casually holding a piece of iron that has been burned red-hot.
