Chapter 524

"One of them, named Hela, is my daughter. If you, Mr., can capture her, I hope you will not harm her; best to spare her life."

"As for the fire giant Surtr, if you have the ability to kill him, dispose of him however you wish."

"After that, you may go to my treasury yourself and take whatever you desire."

"And my corpse and blood will also be yours," Odin said.

Loki and Heimdall were already stunned into silence.

Because it was obvious that Odin was serious.

"Father."

"God King." The two could no longer remain silent.

Because they both realized what was about to happen.

Loki's expression turned panicked at this moment.

Although he had said he did not care about Asgard, nor did he care about Odin.

In reality, he did have some feelings for Odin.

Apart from the God King's throne, from childhood to adulthood, Odin's fatherly love for him had never been lacking.

He and Odin had been father and son for over a thousand years; to say he had no feelings for Odin at all.

That would be a lie.

Now that he realized Odin was about to die, to say he was completely unmoved would be a lie.

Odin looked at Loki.

"Loki, I know you blame me for not giving you the God King's throne, and I know you have always looked down on Thor, thinking he is not as smart as you, that he is very stupid."

"But Thor possesses kindness and benevolence that you do not. As a ruler, powerful martial force is indeed important, but kindness and benevolence toward one's subjects are equally important."

"This is also the reason I chose Thor."

"Although he is impulsive and arrogant, his kindness comes from the heart."

Loki "

So that means I am the bad guy?

Loki was somewhat speechless.

But upon introspection, he knew Odin was absolutely right.

Yet he still felt somewhat unwilling to accept it.

But what use is unwillingness?

"Although I very much dislike interrupting the father-son affection you are performing at this moment, I must say, I have no interest in an old man's corpse; what I want is only your blood."

"Moreover, your blood supply may not be enough; I need you to survive to produce blood for me."

"So you do not need to die just yet."

Jiang Hao's voice rang out at this moment.

Before Odin could even react.

Jiang Hao, at some unknown time, had already arrived before the three of them.

Holding a syringe in his hand, he jabbed it directly at Odin.

Pushing the blue liquid inside the syringe directly into Odin's body.

Odin was startled and wanted to resist, but found he could not move, and could not even use his divine power.

After realizing he could not even use his divine power, Odin chose to give up resistance.

Because it was meaningless.

Indeed, Jiang Hao's strength was formidable, even stronger than he had anticipated; Odin even felt a sliver of fear toward Jiang Hao in his heart at one point.

To know that Odin had lived for five thousand years, and Jiang Hao was the first to make him feel fear, even if only a sliver.

Even the Celestials back then had never made him feel such an emotion.

As for the Earth's Ancient One, that was even more impossible; to Odin, the Ancient One was at most a nuisance.

But the discomfort Odin had anticipated did not occur.

Instead, Odin felt his body seemed to be regaining youth.

No, not seemed, but was indeed regaining youth.

As the God King, with his immense divine power, how could Odin not feel the changes in his own body?

That sense of youthful vigor was returning rapidly.

And Loki and Heimdall were the most shocked.

Because under their gaze, Odin, whose hair had originally been gray, who looked strong but was already extremely old, was having his hair turn golden at a speed visible to the naked eye.

His originally somewhat aged face was also rapidly regaining youth.

In a short while, Odin had restored himself to his youthful appearance from when he was over a thousand years old, looking no different from a twenty-seven or twenty-eight-year-old man on Earth.

Now, if Thor were to appear before Odin, it would be truly difficult to distinguish which one was the father.

His originally slightly hunched back was also rapidly straightening.

In a momentary effort.

A young, strong, and spirited Odin appeared before Loki and Heimdall.

"This is... I, I have regained my youth." Even Odin, at this moment, found it somewhat unbelievable.

Time is the hardest enemy to defeat.

Even though he, Odin, calls himself the God King, he knows clearly that he is merely a creature with powerful strength.

God is only a title.

Gods also have a day when they will die.

Odin had naturally also sought methods to restore his youth or extend his life by a few years,

but it was no use.

He, Odin, possessed divine power so immense that his physical vessel could no longer contain it.

The reason he was nearing death was also significantly tied to this overwhelming divine power within him.

After all, when power is too immense for the body to support, it becomes a major trouble.

And this was precisely his current situation.

His power was far too immense, yet his body could no longer sustain such power within him.

Thus, even though he was the God-King Odin, he would still die.

It was not that his lifespan had ended, but rather that his body had reached its limit.

Yet at this moment, Jiang Hao had pulled him back from the brink of death.

Odin could clearly feel just how immensely powerful his body had become at this very instant.

Compared to his former body, his current body was undoubtedly far more powerful, and not just by a little.

It was by a great deal.

Odin even felt that from now on, he could at least live until the generation of his great-grandchildren.

His two sons, Thor and Loki, would likely not outlive him.

This was a feeling.

As the God-King, his divine power granted him certain abilities ordinary people did not possess.

Such as their intuition.

The intuitions of ordinary people are mostly illusions.

But as the God-King, his intuitions, once truly felt, were almost certainly real.

"Just address me as Mr. Jiang."

"Your blood holds great research value for me, whereas a dead you holds very little value for me."

"I am not helping you; I am merely facilitating the achievement of my own goals, so you need not be overly grateful."

What Jiang Hao said was not a lie, but spoken with complete seriousness.

Jiang Hao could not guarantee whether the divine power within Odin's blood would dissipate after Odin's death.

Nor could he determine the speed at which it might dissipate.

What if, before he finished his research, the divine power in Odin's blood had completely vanished?

By then, he would have to go find the Thunder God Thor to draw blood.
