Chapter 187 Sleepless Night
Chapter 187 Sleepless Night
The once invincible legend can now only relive its past glory in dreams.
The turmoil in the Nine Realms is not just a contest of power, but also an inevitable turn of fate. Odin knows that even if he uses up his last bit of divine power, it will only be a short-lived struggle. This helplessness and unwillingness is like the last sunset in winter, both magnificent and sad.
When Odin's eyes inadvertently passed over Luna, the demigod girl, a complex emotion stirred in his heart. On the scale of reason and power, he instinctively wanted to erase this unstable factor to stabilize the foundation of Asgard. But in Odin's eyes, there was not only coldness and determination, but also a hint of hesitation and warmth that was not easily detected.
He recalled his long life, the corpses and blood piled up in the power struggle, although they were buried in the abyss of memory, they lingered in his mind like ghosts. However, at this moment, the figure of a black-haired woman suddenly emerged in his mind. She was like the brightest star in the night, dazzling and dangerous.
This woman is the embodiment of hatred and ambition. Her eyes are burning with endless desire for power. She is patient and strong, like a cheetah lurking in the darkness, waiting for the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. Odin was surprised to find that she was strikingly similar to his own shadow when he was young. Her persistence in victory and her willingness to do whatever it takes reminded him of his own past.
It was this resonance that finally made Odin give up his intention to kill Luna. He realized that even if he could defeat Luna, there were more forces like her surging in the dark in the Nine Realms, waiting to overturn everything that existed. More importantly, he knew that the black-haired woman was quietly weaving her web, ready to give Asgard a fatal blow at a critical moment.
So, Odin chose silence and forbearance. His eyes penetrated the storm in front of him and looked to the more distant future. There, he expected his people to find new strength and revive the glory of Asgard, and he himself was willing to be the unknown guardian behind this history. In the vast intersection of the nine realms, dealing with this demigod girl who carries the secrets of the atrium is as futile as trying to block the trajectory of the stars. However, Odin, the king of Asgard who coexists with wisdom and cunning, had a subtle ripple in his heart - perhaps, letting this girl stay in the world can become a glimmer of light in the journey of his descendants in the future, even if that light may eventually be swallowed by the dark clouds of fate. He recalled that after killing the frost giant Ymir, the revelation of the fountain of wisdom was like a cold prophecy, entangled in every sleepless night of his. Even if he gave everything, including reluctantly exiling his blood-related son, the predetermined future seemed to be approaching step by step.
"Selene, you are so sure that only I can cure this girl's illness. What do you mean?" Odin's gaze withdrew from his deep thoughts and fell on Luna. There was a hint of subtle gentleness in his tone, as if he had decided to put down his butcher knife and turn to explore the unknown answers.
Luna smiled mysteriously, "Why don't you investigate it yourself, my Lord? The truth will be revealed."
Hearing this, Odin involuntarily took a step towards the girl named Jane. His hand, like a bridge across time and space, gently covered Jane's trembling hand. At that moment, the air seemed to freeze.
"Please... please don't, I'm afraid I'll get you into trouble..." Jane's eyes flashed with fear, and the melodramatic scenes in the soap opera flashed through her mind like a revolving lantern, making her mistakenly think that she was the Cinderella who was unfortunately involved in the aristocratic dispute. Little did she know that under the rules of the Nine Realms, everything was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
