Valhalla, Bor

Antarctica, Mount Vinson.

After explaining the situation, Oshtur brought the three of them here.

This was Lin Xu's first time setting foot in Antarctica, despite having lived two lives.

Due to their respective work commitments, Xiao Wang. and Mrs. Wang currently have no children, and they may not have time to have children for the next few years.

Because Oshtur will provide them with five years of intensive magic instruction, at least until they are capable of teaching other students.

Fortunately, both of them had the blood of a mage and a thorough understanding of Sanskrit, making them easy to teach.

In addition, Lin Xu will also stay here to study as an auditor.

Five years is a very short time on a cosmic scale!

But for Lin Xu, it was a very long time.

From his first encounter with magic in the Dark Strange Universe to Oshtur return to reality, the time he experienced was longer than all of time combined.

Moreover, compared to the Ancient One's laissez-faire approach to parenting, Oshtur's teaching method is like that of a kindergarten teacher; she directly chews up the food and feeds it to you!

Although he was able to cast some spells in the past, the main reason was that he had too much divine power in his body, which is commonly known as "great strength that can make bricks fly".

Now, studying it again, I suddenly feel enlightened.

In the time that followed, he reviewed what he had learned and converted his divine power, and occasionally went to Maple Leaf Country to visit Old Wolf and Chair Man.

Finally, in the fourth year, his physical strength was able to accommodate 0.9 Odinforce.

At the same time, he also realized that his body seemed to have reached a state of extreme saturation.

If he were forced to accept the 0.91st power, his fate might be similar to that of the old God-King, whose body couldn't withstand the divine power and would gradually collapse...

Meanwhile, he attempted to further strengthen his divine body, but failed.

It seems that, limited by the divine power of Asgard, his divine body can no longer be strengthened...

"Holy crap! The Ancient One and Old Cyttorak didn't mention this to me back then!"

Although he is already powerful enough, he doesn't have to suffer the side effects of increased divine power like Odin.

But looking at the 1.8 Arcane power in that Sub-Dimension, he was still unwilling to accept it.

This is like the boss finally treating everyone, there are three lobsters on the plate, you eat one and you're full, but you can't take the other two home. Who can stand that?!

Filled with resentment, he rose and went to the inner hall...

At this moment, Oshtur was sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounded by a dense array of ice blocks.

Lin Xu pushed open the door and entered, holding an ice cube and a carving knife in her hand, without even looking up.

"You've arrived~"

"Uh... shouldn't I have come?"

"You should have come sooner."

Lin Xu carefully stepped over the ice and came to her. "Do you know how to solve my problem?"

Oshtur chuckled lightly, "Ha, otherwise why do you think Agamotto sent you here?"

That's right!

Lin Xu initially thought that Agamotto sent him here to save Oshtur, but Oshtur was willing to sacrifice herself for the universe.

As Oshtur's son, Agamotto should have been well aware of his mother's character.

So, he should have realized where his problem lay, and the one who could help him was none other than his mother, the all-powerful Oshtur!!

"To be honest, I don't know much about the gods and divine power, especially about Odin. He was very ambitious. If Surtur hadn't suddenly erupted and killed him, he might have really unified the Nine Realms."

Lin Xu was somewhat speechless. The universe of Agamotto was like this, and this universe was like this too. So that's why there's no Thor in the X-Men movies? What a crude reason.

Oshtur placed the ice sculpture in her hand aside. Lin Xu recognized it; it was the likeness of Agamotto.

Then she took out another block of ice and continued carving, "But I do know quite a bit about Asgard, especially Odin's father, Bor Bellison."

"Cough cough..."

"Heh, Asgard may be destroyed, but Valhalla still stands. Shall we go see him?"

Lin Xu shrank back when he saw Oshtur's mocking gaze.

"No!"

"I think it's best to meet them, since the cause and effect have already been established."

"..."

Seeing this, Oshtur quickened her movements, and the shape of the ice sculpture became more and more distinct: an old man dressed in Viking armor, with two ram's horns hanging down from his bronze helmet, a spear in his left hand and a battle axe in his right. (This image is from "Thor: The Dark World")

It was none other than Bor Bellison, the previous God-King of Asgard!

She placed the ice sculpture of Bor in her hands and let out a soft breath.

A ripple swept through the air, instantly transforming the area where the two were standing.

A golden temple, distinctly Asgard in style, appeared before them.

The temple had no doors, only a series of shrines surrounding it, each containing a statue.

Soon, Lin Xu arrived in front of two adjacent statues. The male statue was about 195 cm tall, with a robust build and a round belly like Thor's.

The woman was actually a few centimeters taller Oshtur.

It seems that the two of them are the god-king Bor and the goddess-queen Bestla.

Tsk tsk tsk, giants indeed! The height difference is incredible. I wonder how Odin created them, little pony...

"Pfft... cough cough!"

Hearing the laughter, Lin Xu turned around abruptly and saw Oshtur standing there with a serious expression on her face.

But Lin Xu would swear on Wade's name that she was definitely laughing just now!

"Ahem, Bor, long time no see!"

As soon as Oshtur spoke, the statue of Bor instantly came to life.

Bor stared at her blankly, his voice low. "Oshtur..."

"Snort!"

With a cold snort, Bestla's statue also came to life, staring at Oshtur with a hostile expression.

"This is Asgard. Why are you, an outsider, trespassing?"

Lin Xu blinked, his gaze shifting back and forth between the three.

Considering the heights of Oshtur and Bestla, my eyes lit up instantly—was there some juicy gossip to come?

You Bor, you actually like this kind of thing!

"If you keep thinking nonsense, I'll throw you into the core of a star and let you slowly strengthen your divine body!"

"Cough cough, I won't do it again, I won't do it again."

As Lin Xu suddenly spoke, Bestla lowered her gaze and saw Lin Xu and the Tears of Oshtur on his forehead. She also sensed the divine power that originated from the same source as Odin but had a different attribute.

Bestla looked up at Oshtur, then back at Bor, and smiled.

"Hahaha, you clever Bor, no wonder you were unwilling to attack Midgard, and even entrusted Odin with protecting Midgard when he ascended the throne! So that's it... so that's it!"

As soon as Bestla finished speaking, she turned back into a statue, and a golden wall was erected on the shrine, completely isolating her.

Bor: What is this woman saying?

Oshtur: Does anyone in the family understand this?!

Lin Xu: What happened to your kidneys?
