This is equivalent to giving me a special pass to enter and exit the divine realm at will. Guan Heng chuckled inwardly. Fine, this can be considered a reward.
Odin continued, "In the name of the All-Father, I bestow upon Guan Heng the Blessing of the Gods. Under this blessing, you will possess powerful spiritual power that will attach to your weapons and fists, allowing you to directly attack soul objects and protect you from any spiritual power attacks. Under this blessing, you will have a pair of eyes that can see through the essence of all things, allowing you to perceive all tangible and intangible beings, even ghostly souls."
"Guan Heng, I know you carry a Magical Ornament," Odin said with a smile. "Take out your two rings, the Revelation of Ice and Fire."
As instructed, he took out two rings and laid them flat in his hands.
Odin picked up the red orb of light from the holy chalice, which was one-third of the Source of Fire God Power extracted from Loki. "In the name of the All-Father, I bestow the power of the Source of Fire God Power upon this Ruby Ring."
The orb of light from the Source of Fire God Power detached from Odin's hand, hovered around the Ruby Ring, and then suddenly drilled into the ruby. The Flame Storm Ring, which was originally dim and depleted of energy, once again emitted a dazzling scarlet glow.
Odin said, "This ring will be imprinted with the soul of its holder, Guan Heng. Only he can use the ring's fire god power; it will be ineffective for anyone else."
Casually, he took out the Box of Frost and gently stroked it. "Treasure of the Ice Giant, you bring endless ice and snow to the world. In the name of the All-Father, I will extract one-third of your power of cold. The power of cold transforms into a silver-white orb of light. In the name of the All-Father, I bestow the power of cold upon this Sapphire Ring."
"Furthermore, it will be imprinted with the soul of its holder, Guan Heng. Only he can use the ring's power of cold; it will be ineffective for anyone else."
Guan Heng was ecstatic. "This is like pie falling from the sky! I was just worrying about how to replenish the rings' energy!"
In addition, Iron Man Tony was also rewarded by Odin this time. He got the Divine Cutlery he wished for. Although he was completely relegated to a supporting role this time, he didn't care at all. Instead, he took the opportunity to stay in the palace and flirt with the maids everywhere, only to earn himself many slaps.
"My friend, I can see through everything you possess, including your soul," Odin said with some strangeness. "Only the sword you carry on your back, my Divine Eye cannot see through it. I only feel a powerful force within that stone sheath, its might no less than my Spear. I hope you can use it wisely."
Damn it! Guan Heng was greatly surprised. To receive Odin's praise, the Chengying Sword's origin was even greater than he imagined. If only I had the chance to truly understand its history.
"Thank you for your reminder. I will use this Chengying Sword wisely," Guan Heng replied respectfully.
"My foolish son," Odin said to Thor. "You are still too immature. I have decided to let you continue your trials in the mortal world. You are not allowed to return to Asgard without my permission. Also, don't expect Sif to go with you; she is grounded. Take more time to learn from your friend Guan Heng, his wisdom, and of course, his eloquence."
"As you command, great All-Father," Thor said.
After the gathering in the great hall of the palace, Odin returned to his chambers to rest. To thank Guan Heng, Thor, the God of Thunder, granted Guan Heng the right to use his Magic Hammer, allowing Guan Heng to lift his hammer in the future. Afterward, to celebrate finding his magic belt, Thor went to drink with Heimdall.
"Hey, Sif," Guan Heng called out to the Goddess of Land and Harvest, who was about to leave. "Everyone has given me something. You should give me something too, after all, you insisted I find Thor's belt."
"Hmph, you're quite shameless," Sif looked at Guan Heng with interest, not outright refusing. "Tell me, what do you want?"
"Hmm," Guan Heng's eyes darted around, and he chuckled. "Your beautiful golden hair. Don't you have Healing Ability? Give me a hundred strands!"
"What?" Sif's face turned red with anger. "This hair is like my life! You say it so lightly, asking for a hundred strands!"
"Is that so? I didn't know hair was so important to you," Guan Heng pretended to be confused and spun a tale. "In ancient Huaxia, there's a custom. For a girl one admires, but who is already betrothed, taking a lock of her hair as a memento is the most common tradition."
"Is that so?" Sif seemed to understand, but then she heard Guan Heng say he admired her, and her face turned slightly red. However, in the Aesir, where unions between siblings and parents and children were permissible, having feelings for a friend's wife was not a big deal.
"A hundred strands of hair is impossible," Sif said. She reached up and took off thirteen strands of hair. Divine power surged, and the hair automatically braided into a small, exquisite braid. "These thirteen strands of hair carry my Healing Divine Power. As long as my life does not cease and my soul is immortal, it will forever protect you from illness and ensure rapid wound healing."
Placing the braid in Guan Heng's palm, Sif gently kissed his cheek. "Thank you for your help this time." After saying this, she smiled, waved her hand, and turned to leave.
Goddess's Kiss... Guan Heng touched his face. Hey, actually, I wanted to say, just having this last reward is pretty good.
In the following days, the Dwarf Blacksmiths in Asgard helped reforge Jiang Dabao's twin shields, imbuing them with divine power. At Guan Heng's request, his Knuckle Flying Dagger and belt were also blessed with divine power. The true power of these blessed weapons remained to be seen in future battles, but after being modified in the divine realm, their hardness would definitely not be inferior to genuine Adamantium.
Only the Chengying Sword could not receive a divine blessing in the Dwarf Blacksmith's furnace. Instead, it absorbed all the Asgard Divine Fire within the furnace. The Dwarf Master Blacksmith was so angry he blew his beard and glared. Guan Heng quickly laughed it off and ran away.
Great Father of the Gods, can you tell me what you mean by the Spiritual Power that grants me the Blessing of the Gods, which can attack the soul, and the eyes that can see through the essence of all things? With questions swirling, Guan Heng went to ask Odin.
The time will come, and you will naturally understand. All you need is a certain Opportunity. Odin initially remained tight-lipped, but finally, unable to stand Guan Heng's pestering, he uttered a cryptic remark.
Tch. Is playing mysterious fun? Guan Heng frowned and thought, Forget it, let nature take its course. Anyway, I've already made a huge profit by getting energy replenishment for the two rings this time.
After that, Guan Heng tried to mentally control the two rings and found that he could manage them quite well. He could control ice and fire within three meters, but not beyond that. He estimated it was related to his Spiritual Power. Although his Spiritual Power had become stronger, he still needed to constantly train and stimulate his potential to better control these two new powers.
Now, Guan Heng has the Alloy Knuckle on his left hand and the Ice Storm and Flame Storm rings on his right hand. His strength has indeed greatly increased.
