Chapter 495: The Lord of the Nordic Anomaly Zone Battles Odin (?)

"Come."

With the utterance of that word, the atmosphere instantly turned deadly solemn.

At this moment, the vast majority of the Norse deities present wore expressions of bewilderment.

They had considered many possibilities, but never this one.

What joke is this? The 【Eternal Spear·Gungnir】 is a mighty divine artifact, rivaled only by the 【Spear of Twilight】; yet this opponent dares to oppose it with some broken spear plucked from who knows where.

"."

The Norse gods desperately wanted to reassure themselves with that thought, yet upon feeling the terrifyingly sharp point pressed firmly against their hearts, they couldn't help swallowing hard.

Whether it was an illusion or not, they all felt the opponent's spear bore a strange resemblance to their own Great God's 【Eternal Spear·Gungnir】.

If one combined this with the opponent's earlier self-revelation of his name,

an absurd hypothesis instantly formed in the minds of the gods.

Could that thing… also be 【Gungnir】?!!

With this thought, the Norse gods instinctively turned their gazes toward their own Great God.

At this moment, Odin's expression grew increasingly grave upon seeing the 【Great God's Declaration·Gungnir】.

Events were slipping subtly beyond his control; he had originally assumed the opposing party were members of some secret organization, but now it seemed far more complicated.

After a brief silence, Odin slowly lifted his head, revealing his left eye, previously hidden beneath his hat's brim.

His left eye was not a normal eye, but a crystal constantly flickering with magical runes.

This was the Obtained item he gained after sacrificing his left eye to the Well of Wisdom to learn the Runic Magic.

The crystal replacing his left eye not only enhanced the power of his Runic Magic, but also granted him the ability to foresee the future.

Now, this Great God would see exactly what kind of weapon the opponent held.

As the crystal began emitting faint glows, a flood of chaotic images surged into Odin's mind.

Odin had used his foresight before, but never had he encountered such a bizarre situation.

Yet before he could decipher the content of the visions, a sudden, overwhelming premonition of death filled his heart.

Death death death death death death!

Characters representing death flashed endlessly through these visions, then

the Great God saw it.

Odin gasped sharply and violently broke free from the foresight state.

He could not determine what exactly the opponent held, only that it was certainly no harmless object.

For in every vision he foresaw, he saw only himself pierced through the chest by the spear, nailed lifelessly to the ground.

Without exception, as if it were a fate sealed by destiny.

With lingering dread, Odin fell silent.

Compared to the spear in his own hand, the opponent's spear seemed far more worthy of the title 【Eternal Spear·Gungnir】.

As this thought arose within him, the white-haired elder could not help but let out a bitter smile, then sheathed his weapon.

The outcome was decided; there was no need to fight further.

Upon noticing his action, the Norse gods froze in surprise.

What does this mean? Does the Great God think using the 【Eternal Spear·Gungnir】 is overkill?

Just as they pondered this, Odin spoke: "The Goddess of Winter, Skadi, defeats the Great God Odin, triggering the Twilight of the Gods, and becomes the next-generation sovereign of the Norse Pantheon."

"What do you think of this version?"

In response, Skadi replied with a tone neither clearly mocking nor approving: "A wise move."

Saying this, she sheathed the 【Great God's Declaration】, and swept her gaze across the assembled Norse deities.

Compared to the Great God of her memories, this "Odin" was far too weak—so dull she almost felt bored.

But then again, this would allow her to fulfill her Master's orders more swiftly.

At this moment, the assembled Norse deities gradually understood the meaning of Odin's words.

Their faces instantly filled with frantic urgency as they turned to the white-haired elder: "Great God?!"

We are ready to fight to the death—why does Your Majesty surrender first?!

Well, they didn't actually plan to fight to the death either, but as the sovereign of the Norse Pantheon, to kneel so readily—isn't that inappropriate?

Feeling the complex gazes behind him, Odin rolled his eyes in exasperation. "Don't call me Great God. From now on, you must show respect like you show me to Lady Skadi."

He knew perfectly well what these fools were scheming—hoping he'd clash with the opposing party—but he wasn't foolish enough to charge headfirst into a foreseen death.

Of course, that wasn't the only reason; if the opponent merely sought to control the Norse Pantheon, they wouldn't face immediate mortal danger.

During this time, they could naturally find a way to resolve the matter.

Upon hearing this, the Norse deities exchanged uneasy glances.

Respect…?

They had never shown Odin much respect anyway; after all, this Great God was rather unreliable.

After a moment, all the deities present bowed their heads toward Skadi: "Great God."

While bowing, hiding their expressions, the blue-haired man who had previously locked eyes with Hel turned his face dark with fury.

He had indeed wished to trigger the Twilight of the Gods—but not like this.

After all, what difference does it make now? The Norse Pantheon has merely swapped one Great God for another.

As the blue-haired man thought this, a black rift suddenly tore open beside Skadi.

Li Ang looked down at the submissive Norse deities and raised an eyebrow. "Lady Skadi has not betrayed my expectations."

He had expected to have to intervene personally to subdue the Norse Pantheon; he never imagined the Simulated Servants had handled it so elegantly.

'Clearly, developing this technology was the right choice.'

Thinking this, Li Ang couldn't help but let out a soft laugh.

Scathach clearly hadn't expected her master to return so quickly; she had originally planned to discipline the group of Norse gods below.

But the queen quickly regained her composure, first returning the 【Great God Declaration】 to Li Ang, then saying, "Thanks to your weapon, I was able to proceed so smoothly."

"Heh."

Li Ang smiled and shook his head, offering no rebuttal.

Whether or not it relied on the 【Great God Declaration】 didn't matter; what mattered was that the Pseudo Servants could truly stand on their own.

Of course, as his strength increased, the Pseudo Servants would also need to upgrade.

It was at this moment that Scathach noticed the black-clad girl holding her master's right hand: "Who is this?"

In response, Li Ang remained expressionless: "This is my long-lost younger sister. I ask you, Lady Scathah, to look after her in the future."

"."

Upon hearing this, all the Pseudo Servants present wore strange expressions.

Having spent so much time with Li Ang, they knew exactly what kind of person their master was.

Especially Merlin, who thought that if their master chose to pursue the path of online scam VTubers, he might even surpass Merlin's own achievements.

Unlike the relaxed Pseudo Servants, the Norse gods present had already grown numb.

Unlike Hela, who had witnessed everything, they did not know that Scathach was Li Ang's Servant.

Thus, seeing the once-arrogant new Great God behave so obediently before a stranger, their newly rebuilt worldview collapsed once again.

Tired. Let it all end.

This was the thought of nearly all the Norse gods at present.

But Odin and Loki were different—they recognized who the young man's right hand was holding.

The Infinite Dragon God, Orphis.

'Shouldn't this one be with the Calamity Cult? Could these people be members of the Calamity Cult?'

Odin couldn't help but frown slightly, a strange unease stirring in his heart.

He knew perfectly well what the Infinite Dragon God above intended, and he knew many factions sought to use the latter's power for their own ends.

The Calamity Cult was born under these circumstances, and precisely because everyone harbored hidden agendas, this organization was riddled with internal factions.

The problem was, he had never heard of such a powerful faction within the Calamity Cult—after all, given the strength these people displayed, Li Zeweimu could never have seized control of the Calamity Cult's authority.

Thinking of this, Odin looked up at the young man who had just appeared in the sky.
