Chapter 1334: The Mystery of the Feast (Part 1)

The invitation to the Asgardian God King's wedding was very special. Its letter paper was made by kneading the fibers of World Tree branches, the envelope fabric was cloth woven by the Asgardian Goddess herself, and even the wax seal used on the envelope was melted with precious Uru from the Dwarf race, blessed by the Asgardian God King.

The four corners of the square letter had a circle of hard and sharp metal edges, and the golden fire lacquer in the center was a pattern of World Tree branches holding up the Nine Realms.

The deep blue envelope represented the origin of Asgard's maritime civilization, and the divine power flickering on the letter carried the sparks of thunder, signaling the God King's great thunder power.

Slender and exceptionally long fingers were lifted from the surface of the invitation, and the other hand took the invitation. The cuffs made of dark brown linen and white straps indicated that the owner of this hand was a resident of Asgard.

The waiter, dressed in traditional Nordic Viking attire, nodded to the guest and said with a smile, "Asgard welcomes you, Her Majesty the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire. May the light always shine upon you and your country."

The Queen of the Shi'ar Empire wore a gorgeous golden robe, the silk threads shining with colorful light, and gorgeous feathers draped behind her head, adding to her appearance. Hearing the waiter's last sentence, she raised her eyebrows slightly.

The Queen thought, if she remembered correctly, Asgard's former prayer was "May the All-Father always protect you," or "May the All-Father guide your direction."

It seems that Asgard's change of power has really been completed smoothly. God King Thor not only obtained the throne of Asgard but also replaced the God of Thunder with the Godhead of the God of Light.

The Queen of the Shi'ar Empire sighed a little while following the guiding waiter inside. The Shi'ar Empire and Asgard had very similar political systems; both were classical kingdoms, and both were led by real-power royal families.

And what is enviable and admirable is that the new God King not only perfectly took over the power and priesthood from his father, but in the case of having a younger brother, no struggle for the throne broke out, and he even made Loki a king, and a real-power Prince at that.

This is enough to show how high Thor's ruling power over Asgard is. He is not worried about the division of power, the people are not confused by having two kings in one country, the nobles have no trouble, and the commoners have no riots. This is almost a perfect answer sheet for the change of royal power in a classical kingdom.

The Queen of the Shi'ar Empire had met Thor once, but at that time, her evaluation of Thor was not high, to put it bluntly, she had a very bad impression of him.

At that time, Thor was like most Asgardian soldiers, rough, reckless, shouting and yelling, with nothing in his head but fighting, crashing everywhere he went, which was far worse than the state of his father who could retract and expand at will.

At that time, the Queen was secretly rejoicing in her heart that with such an heir, perhaps Odin would not have a very happy old age. At that time, most leaders of interstellar civilizations thought so.

But hundreds of years have passed, and even the Shi'ar Empire, which has always had a stable political situation, has occasionally erupted in various incidents, and other short-lived interstellar civilizations have been in chaos for several rounds. Instead, Asgard, which they were least optimistic about, landed smoothly. The Queen also felt some anger and unwillingness in her heart.

In the final analysis, why Asgard?

Why do they possess innate divine power? Why is everything going smoothly? Why hasn't Ragnarok arrived yet? Why have they been looking forward to their decline for so long, yet they are getting stronger and stronger?

Many leaders of interstellar civilizations who could choose to come or not chose to attend the God King's wedding precisely because they were holding back a belly of anger. They wanted to see what kind of ability this new king Thor really had.

Asgard has been wandering outside the interstellar society for thousands of years, breaking rules and destroying everywhere, and now they want to join the civilized society, but they can't let them take all the good things, right?

Walking into the banquet hall, the Queen took back her invitation from the waiter and went through the ceremony process in her mind again. The welcome banquet officially starts at 4:50 PM, and the vast majority of civilization leaders attending the banquet will arrive at this time.

The welcome banquet for free communication ends at 6:00 PM, and then the dance begins. Once the music starts, the guests will dance with their partners or other guests they met at the venue. The newlyweds who have not yet held the ceremony will also be present, and the lively dance will continue until midnight.

The next morning, all guests will go to the Xiangong Garden to watch the ceremony. The God King and Queen will hold the wedding ceremony here, and then the guests will go from the East Gate of the Garden to the Xiangong Square.

The God King and Queen will meet with ministers and generals on the balcony on the third floor of the Xiangong and give a speech, then walk out from the main entrance, walk across the Xiangong Bridge hand in hand, and wave to all the people of Asgard and the guests.

This is the process for most interstellar civilization leaders when they get married: first entertain the guests who come to attend the wedding, then greet the ministers and nobles, and then go to parade among the people.

Of course, this is a simplified version of the ceremony in Asgard. When the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire and her husband got married, the banquet and dance to entertain the guests were held for three days, and the subsequent parade was a tour of the whole country. Even if they took the teleportation portal and only went to important cities and scenic spots, it took five days.

Even if all the processes are compressed into two days, it can be considered an unprecedented grand event in Asgard, and even the sunset of this day is exceptionally brilliant.

Looking out along the colored glass of the Xiangong hall, the Xiangong Bridge, which has stood here for thousands of years, looks exceptionally magnificent, like the beginning and end of a legendary story.

The Queen scanned the room and saw many familiar faces. Just as she was weighing in her heart who to use as the beginning of today's topic, her sight captured a figure.

The Queen of the Shi'ar Empire's pupils shrank, and her heart sank to the bottom. She almost uttered the name in her heart in a tone that was heavy to the point of being unable to be heavier: "... Hela."

That figure was wearing a black backless dress, with thin lace patterns crawling along the chest to the shoulders, turning into black light gauze to cover the smooth back lines.

Smooth silk ribbons passed through the waist, outlining smooth waist lines, and then downward along the plump hip lines. The hanging fabric suddenly tightened, and the gorgeous fishtail skirt bloomed at the end, like water ripples rippling under the moonlight.

Seeming to feel the gaze, the woman with skin so pale that there was no blood turned around and looked at the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire.

Although hundreds of years had passed, when she looked at this long princess who was famous in the universe again, the Queen still felt deep pressure, as if she were still that little girl who was still in the position of heir.

Why is Hela here?!

The Queen's heart was full of doubt and fear. Wasn't she permanently imprisoned by Odin? A crown prince who failed to fight for the throne, why can she still appear openly at the new king's wedding?

Yes, in the memory of the Queen and the vast majority of civilization leaders of this generation, for a long time, Hela was the undisputed heir to the throne of Asgard, the crown prince most favored by Odin, and everyone thought she would be the first queen of Asgard.

But the development of things was the same as countless historical cycles: rebellion, failure, imprisonment, and then never seeing the light of day again.

Hearing the news of Hela's failed rebellion in the distant Mengyu Palace, the Queen, who was still the Crown Prince, felt a little bit of luck in addition to fear. Fortunately, she was not as impulsive, reckless, and regardless of consequences as that crazy woman.

After successfully ascending to the throne and calming the situation, the Queen also recalled the past.

During Asgard's glorious period, when that powerful fleet with great momentum swept over the top of her fief, the Asgardian long princess wearing armor stood at the top of the ship's side, countless powerful warriors followed behind her, and where her sword pointed was the glory pursued by all god races.

At that time, the Queen of the Shi'ar Empire, who was still a princess, was like all the followers of this long princess, unable to move her eyes away from that figure for a long time. Who hasn't been fascinated by others' high spirits and waving directions in their youth?

That Hela, who was still the Crown Prince, was a glimpse of surprise in many people's youth, and a silent sigh in the midnight dreams many years later.

And in a flash, hundreds of years passed, and the Queen never dreamed that she would see Hela here again.

She looked unchanged, not at all like a prisoner who had been imprisoned for hundreds of years. When her gaze swept over, whether it was the Asgardians shuttling through the auditorium or the civilization leaders who came from afar, no one dared to look at her.

As for the reason, the Queen thought, perhaps it was because Hela had beaten them, or beaten their fathers, or possibly beaten their grandfathers, or possibly their grandfathers' grandfathers.

The Queen sighed in her heart, recalling her father, the husband of the previous queen and the head of the Royal Fleet, being chased around by Hela's fleet on the border of the Shi'ar Empire.

Ending the memories and recovering from the shock of Hela's reappearance, the Queen couldn't help but feel a little curious. How could Hela appear here? How could Odin let her appear here?

Thinking of this, the Queen decided to make up for the regrets of her youth, go and chat with this long princess who was once a legend, and go back to brag with her partners who grew up together.

So, the Queen took a glass of wine from the waiter next to her, tidied up her skirt, and walked towards Hela leisurely.

But just halfway there, she found that someone had arrived first, and another male figure walked to the opposite side of Hela one step ahead of her.

The Queen's footsteps stopped. She felt a little annoyed at her previous hesitation, but couldn't help but feel some schadenfreude. This long princess is not so easy to get along with.

In the past, there was no shortage of people of the opposite sex who chased Hela because of her temperament and appearance, but the result... I can only say, if it weren't for this, there wouldn't be so many fathers and grandfathers who had been beaten.

The Queen looked up and down at this bold man. He was not wearing Asgardian formal wear, which meant he was not a god. The Queen was well-informed. When she saw the shirt collar exposed by the long suit formal wear with Baroque style, she recognized at a glance that it was human clothing.

Very good, there are not many races in the universe whose physique is weaker than humans. I can only pray that the life of imprisonment has made this long princess's temper better. Otherwise, once this ignorant human does something offensive and rude, today's banquet will be ruined.

The Queen thought so, and a trace of joy arose in her heart. She silently withdrew her steps, gently combed the feathers on her temples with her hands, and showed a polite smile to a prince of a certain federation in Centaurus who wanted to chat.

Although her attitude was still polite, it was inevitable that people would feel a little depressed when what they wanted to do was interrupted halfway. The Queen had long lost the interest to talk.

But facing other civilization leaders who kept offering courtesy, the Queen couldn't keep silent all the time. After a few polite words, she left the banquet scene on the grounds that her formal wear had wrinkles and needed to go back to take care of it. ===== CHAPTER 1335 =====
