Chapter 207

"If each of us obtains one artifact, then I will add thirty years to your lifespan, plus the Space Stone you borrowed, making a total of forty years of lifespan—how does that sound?" Luode said.

Upon hearing this, Odin's brows furrowed immediately, kid! You're too dark! Forty years of lifespan, you fucking are joking with me!

"Do you know how precious Uru metal is, and how precious artifacts are? We in all of Asgard don't even have a few artifacts, and forty years of lifespan is just too short!" Odin shook his head and said.

Borrowing the Space Stone gives ten years of lifespan; for Odin, this is very profitable, because he wouldn't lose anything.

But using Uru metal, then ordering the Dwarf Clan to forge an artifact for each of you, you'd give me thirty years of lifespan—this damn is not just dark, it's robbery! Do you know how precious Uru metal is? You just say whatever you think.

"Several of you, you are also god‑level beings, don't you know how precious Uru metal is? It is a metal that can forge artifacts; mining it is very troublesome, and it also requires various processing and forging before it can be used."

Our Asgard's production is also extremely small, only my husband, the God King Odin.

"My son Thor Sol, and the Guardian Heimdall, possess weapons forged from Uru metal." The Queen Goddess said.

Even Odin's exclusive guard Valkyries are not equipped with weapons forged from Uru metal.

This quote made her somewhat unable to bear it, giving each of you an artifact forged from Uru metal.

But it would consume a thousand years of Asgard's accumulated Uru metal; do you think Uru metal is cheap street goods?

Its refinement is extremely difficult, and only Asgard can produce it.

If it were cheap street goods, we Asgard would already have everyone equipped with a Uru metal weapon; the only other one possessing a Uru metal‑forged artifact is my eldest daughter Hela.

"Like this! I'll give the God King Odin an additional hundred years of lifespan." Luode said.

Looking at Odin's complexion, Luode knew his proposed lifespan offer was making this old man a bit unable to hold back.

The price he set was a bit low; this old man's appearance seemed like he wanted to hammer himself.

"Three hundred years of lifespan, that's the price for three artifacts."

"If you keep haggling over price with me, then it's impossible; this transaction might not be completed." Odin said with a dark face.

A thousand years of accumulation, three Uru metal‑forged artifacts, amount to half of Asgard's wealth.

Letting myself live three hundred more years merely delays the Twilight of the Gods, giving Sol and my disobedient younger son more time to grow.

This is already the limit I can accept.

"How about adding a branch of the World Tree? God King Odin, are you interested in exchanging for the Frost Giant's Ice Chest?" Luode said.

Asgard's World Tree is also top‑grade; at least it should be a bit better than the World Tree grown by the dark elves of Azeroth. Returning to Azeroth, we could figure out how to use this to cultivate a World Tree.

Perhaps it could boost Ai Jiang's strength a bit, and when the World Tree leaves mature, I could also give them to Ma Liang to make transforming leaves.

As for the Frost Giant Clan's Frost Giant's Ice Chest, this item is also an artifact in the movies, a hereditary treasure of the Frost Giant Clan.

I can take it back to study, and even at critical moments it can be used as a superweapon.

"I can give you one branch of the World Tree, also worth a hundred years of lifespan."

"As for the Frost Giant's Ice Chest, if you want it, give me a thousand years of lifespan and I'll hand it over to you." Odin said.

The World Tree branch is fine; just cut off a segment for them.

The Frost Giant's Ice Chest's power is enormous; kept in my treasury it's really useless, but trading it away wouldn't be bad either.

But I can't set a low price; at the very least I need to exchange for a thousand years of lifespan, after all this item is considered nuclear‑weapon level among the gods.

The divine power inside the Frost Giant's Ice Chest contains the strength of the Frost Giant Clan, capable of instantly freezing a planet—just its most basic operation.

What's truly precious is the frost god power left inside by the Frost Giant Clan's kings through the generations.

"Your Excellency God King, your price is too high! How about this: five hundred years of lifespan, borrowing the Space Stone for us to forge three artifacts."

"You will give us the Frost Giant's Ice Chest, plus a World Tree branch, which must be as thick as my thigh." Luode said.

"One thousand years! Not a single bit less; this is already my limit." Odin said.

"Six hundred years, how about six hundred years?"

"One thousand years! This is just the price for the Frost Giant's Ice Chest; plus another five hundred years for the other things." Odin said with a dark face.

"Alright, Your Excellency God King, we have a deal!"

He saw that if he kept lowering the price, Odin would go berserk; freeloading this old guy with so much stuff, he's already very angry.

After all, we only contributed some life force, whereas the Odin God-King of Asgard has given up many substantial treasures.

Hmph! You are the greediest god I have ever seen, bar none; you should change your name.

The god of space doesn't suit you; the god of greed fits you better. Odin looked at Luode and said.

"Cough cough! Thank you for the praise, Your Majesty the God-King, but you actually have something else you could trade, such as the Infinity Gauntlet you once forged." Luode said.

In Odin's treasury, there is indeed an Infinity Gauntlet.

Hela said that the Infinity Gauntlet is useless, presumably because it lacks Infinity Stones set into it, but if we were to embed Infinity Stones into it, it would become useful.

The dwarven race had apparently already forged an Infinity Gauntlet before, and its user was none other than Odin himself. It is precisely for this reason that Thanos came knocking, indirectly leading to the slaughter of the entire dwarven race.

"Say everything you want, all at once!" Odin said.

"Actually, the Eternal Flame can also be traded, and there is also the technology of the Rainbow Bridge."

"My Infinity Gauntlet can be given to you; its crafting is not complicated, but the Eternal Flame—I can only give you a wisp of flame, and the Rainbow Bridge technology is also not off-limits." Odin said.

The Eternal Flame is tied to the Twilight of the Gods; he must handle it with caution, for legend says the Eternal Flame will resurrect the fire giants and then destroy Asgard.

"But in the future visions I saw after sacrificing one eye, the Eternal Flame is also one of the keys to saving the Asgardians; it will both destroy Asgard and save the Asgardian people, so giving the other party a wisp of flame is acceptable!" (Odin knows that the Twilight of the Gods will definitely happen, and that Asgard will be destroyed, so he reminded Thor where the people are, that is where Asgard is.) "Then, Your Majesty the God-King, how much lifespan would you like to trade?" A wisp of the Eternal Flame's fire could also be taken back for research; how about offering two hundred years? Cough cough! Will this old man suddenly throw an Eternal Spear at me? Or maybe shout three hundred years and see! "This time we are not trading lifespan; if you want these two things, you must offer something more sincere, more capable of moving me." Odin swayed his Eternal Spear in his hand, looked at Luode and said.

We Asgardians have paid real, substantial things, yet you brat have been freeloading off me all along; do you think I wouldn't notice?

One can't just come to trade with me and talk about lifespan alone! "Hahaha! Your Majesty the God-King, we have a power called fel magic, a very dangerous magic; I don't know if you're interested in learning it." Luode manifested a green fel energy in his palm.

"Is it that destructive power you have on you? I have no interest in that power, nor do I wish to learn it." Odin said.

Don't think I don't know what that evil energy is; no matter how powerful such evil energy is, the Asgardians would not touch it.

"Then tell me what you want, or what you wish for, or what you desire."

"I want to know where you three actually come from; you probably aren't gods of this universe, right? I can tell you don't belong to this universe's gods." Odin said.

All the divine races of this universe, even including the celestial gods, cannot increase Odin's lifespan.

Only outsiders from other universes, or even beings not of this dimension, possess such power—a power completely detached from this world.

As a God King, a heavenly father–level being, Odin still has this bit of vision.

"Haha! As expected of God King Odin, you're right—we are indeed not the gods of this world, so we have some things from other worlds we can trade with you." Luode said.

"Why not use Order Magic? But this requires Sazong's help, and teaching Order Magic to a God King—his avatar's Order power probably isn't enough!"

"I say, if I hope to move Asgard to your universe, I don't know if you'd agree?" Odin pondered for a moment, then asked.

"If one wants to completely avoid Twilight of the Gods, there might be another way—this universe's Asgard must be destroyed; this is fated and unavoidable, only able to be delayed."

"But if Asgard disappears in this universe, then it means Asgard no longer exists, which also counts as Twilight of the Gods having occurred, and even the Asgardians aren't in this place anymore."

"Upon saying this, it caused an uproar; some Asgard guards present and even Odin's queen all looked shocked."

"What's going on? How did a nice trade turn into moving house? Why does our God King want to move?" "So God King, do you want me to take your entire people and all of Asgard out of this universe, right?" Luode narrowed his eyes instantly and looked at Odin.

"Yes! I want to give the Asgardians a new residence, a new environment; we Asgardians have lived in this universe long enough.

"The whole universe has been explored by us; I think it's time to lead my people to live in other universes—if you're willing to help, that would be best." Odin said.

"As Twilight of the Gods is such an important matter, he certainly wouldn't tell anyone—even the whole of Asgard; only he himself knows this."

"So his response to Luode was: he wants to bring the Asgardians to move house, change environment to live."

"Luode's mouth curled into a slight smile."

"Heh! You're trying to fool ghosts, huh? You old bastard."

"Don't think I don't know—you want to avoid Twilight of the Gods, stay in this universe; you can only delay its arrival as much as possible, but you can never avoid it."

"Even any world related to Norse mythology will inevitably bring Twilight of the Gods; countless Odins across worlds have tried every means to avoid it, but all have failed."

"So after meeting himself and Sagesilasi, Aizelasi, and others, he again came up with a new idea."

"Moving house to another universe—I won't be here anymore, so how could I trigger Twilight of the Gods?" "Sometimes so-called fate can actually be controlled by oneself; am I right, God King?" Luode said.

"Luode suddenly spoke a profound sentence, then looked at God King Odin."

"Upon hearing this, God King Odin's face darkened instantly—this kid, this kid, how could he know?"

"So-called fate can sometimes be controlled by oneself—isn't fate just Twilight of the Gods? Controlling fate, this kid!"

"Everyone retreat." Odin waved the Eternal Spear in his hand and issued the command.

"All the Asgard guards exchanged glances, then collectively withdrew."

"Just what do you know?"

"I know all— the gods are about to enter Hall of Heroes, and Asgard is about to face Twilight of the Gods." Luode said.

"." Odin.

"The scene fell silent for a moment; God King Odin silently looked at Luode, Aizelasi, and Sagesilasi."

"What must we do for you to help us?" After a long while, Odin asked.

"We can provide you a new homeland, use my power to find you a new home, but our world is not safe either.

"There is a force called the Void that is eroding our world. If you come to our universe, you must help us fight the Void." Luode said.

"In that case, God King, come fight the Void with us!" (End of chapter)
