Asgard, in an extremely luxuriously decorated room.
This is the residence specially ordered by Odin to arrange for Lu Xi.
Lorelei's room was arranged next to his.
In the afternoon, Thor came to knock on the door in person:
"Lucifer, my father specially held a banquet for you tonight and invited you to attend. He said he wanted to give you an explanation."
Lu Xi After hearing this, he began to think secretly in his heart.
Just after the fight, I invited myself to a banquet. What is this?
Treat? Behead? Hongmen Banquet?
Or, as written in the novel, is it the emperor who has a short lifespan and comes with the ultimate emperor's soldiers?
But Lu Xi is not afraid at all. After all, Odin was in slightly better shape before but failed to defeat himself.
What's more, now Odin has been injured one after another, and his strength has been greatly reduced.
If he is really tricked, he can run away at any time and return to his Hell Dimension.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Xi agreed directly:
"Okay, I'll go."
As night fell and the lanterns came on, Lu Xi brought Lorelei to the Golden Palace hall on time.
I saw bright lights inside the Golden Palace, and the high-level gods of Asgard had already gathered together.
Odin saw that everyone had arrived, raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet, and explained the previous situation:
"Everyone, because my physical condition is on the verge of reaching its limit, and my consciousness was briefly confused, I suddenly attacked Mr. Lucifer."
Then he looked at Lu Xi with an apology on his face:
"Here, I formally apologize to Mr. Lucifer."
Lu Xi nodded. He had also made some guesses about Odin's situation before.
Presumably it was the butterfly effect triggered by himself that caused symptoms similar to Alzheimer's disease to appear early in Odin and Thor: Ragnarok.
Before everyone could recover from Odin's apology, Odin immediately dropped a bombshell:
"To express my apology, I intend to invite Your Excellency Lucifer to serve as the [Executive Deputy God King] of Asgard."
That's right, this is Odin's multi-purpose strategy.
Based on the investigation of Heimdall and Raven [Huginn], Odin and the Ancient One made the same judgment.
Strong strength, clear stance, reliable character, can be entrusted with big tasks.
With a Universal-level god suppressing it, any Nine Realms turmoil, Ragnarok, Hela, will not be a problem.
I have no choice but to join in this kind of thing if I can't beat it. It's so delicious.
In the banquet venue, as soon as Odin said this, there was an uproar and everyone was stunned.
Thor looked even more confused and couldn't help but ask:
"Father, what kind of position is this?"
Odin patiently explained:
"This is a position that I have temporarily established. The person who holds this position has the same status as the God King and can exercise all the powers of the God King."
Thor immediately expressed puzzlement upon hearing this.
"All power? Then isn't this the God King?"
"Father, Lucifer is my friend, and he has indeed helped us a lot, but giving the position of God King is too..."
Thor For a moment, I didn't seem to know how to describe it.
Warriors Three and many high-level protoss also expressed doubts.
Some people seem to think that Odin is still unconscious and is talking nonsense:
"All-Father, Asgard God King has always been passed down from generation to generation, and there has never been a precedent for an outsider to take charge. Please take back these words!"
Another part of the people was wondering whether Odin was afraid because of his defeat in the afternoon.
"My king, we Asgardians are never afraid of dying in battle, but we will never surrender!"
When Odin saw this, he no longer concealed it and explained frankly:
"Judging from my current situation, time is running out. After I am gone, Ragnarok is about to come, and that will be the end of the entire Asgard."
It is not convenient to explain the other considerations in his mind here. Let's just talk about Ragnarok first.
Thor looked unconvinced and retorted:
"Father, I have never believed in these prophecies. Even if there really is Ragnarok, I can break it with my own strength!"
At this time, Thor's enthusiastic and silly look was very much like those slightly careless male protagonists in Japanese comics.
Odin looked at this silly son and shook his head helplessly:
"This is Asgard destined Destiny. In the process of the entire universe, this is an important node that cannot be ignored. Even I am unable to resist, so what can you do?"
"Thor, can you become the true god of Universal-level before I die?"
Thor still didn't believe it and muttered:
"Isn't it just Surtur? Now that he has no Eternal Flame, he is so weak. He probably can't even defeat me. Why does he need the power of Universal-level to deal with him?"
Odin said earnestly:
"You are too naive. Surtur's prophecy is just one of the manifestations of Ragnarok."
"Even if you deal with him, there will be other strong people who will destroy Asgard."
Lu Xi heard this, his heart moved, he reacted and asked:
"You mean, this is the converging power of the world line?"
Odin nodded and affirmed:
"Yes, it can be understood this way. This is the peak-level binding power of Highfather, which will only appear after the death of the old god king."
"Unless the prince's power has surpassed that of the God King before his death, there is no hope of breaking Ragnarok. However, the growth of our Asgardians and Divine Power is closely related to age, so this situation is basically impossible to happen."
Lu Xi After hearing this, I basically understood this principle.
A certain version in the comics is that Thor became [Rune King Thor] by chance, surpassing his father Odin.
Finally, I found an opportunity to break the cycle of Ragnarok.
It can be seen that the idea of Odin is indeed no problem.
At this moment, Odin looked at Lu Xi with burning eyes and said sincerely:
"But your Excellency is different. As the god of Universal-level, you are enough to break the binding power of the world line, allowing us Asgard to get rid of this endless cycle again and again!"
After a pause, Odin then added:
"I know that you need to collect souls. As long as you agree to help, my soul will belong to you after my death."
"Even Thor's soul, as long as he is willing, I will not interfere. What do you think?"
Lu Xi did not comment, but asked with some suspicion:
"Are you willing to pay such a huge price just to break this prophecy?"
Odin shook his head slowly and explained seriously:
"If we cannot break Ragnarok, this terrible cycle will only repeat itself over and over again. After Thor passes away in old age, his son Thor Sen will have to go through it all again, and the cycle will continue forever."
"So, as long as we can break this cycle, any price we Asgard pay will be worth it."
Odin turned his head and looked at Thor, his eyes full of expectations:
"Asgard's people don't care who is on the throne."
"What they need most is to survive safely. My son, do you understand?"
Thor's eyes were red, and he finally understood the painstaking efforts of his old father, and choked up and said:
"Father, I understand!"
Odin saw that Lu Xi did not refuse directly, so he decisively cooked the raw rice into cooked rice.
With a solemn look on his face, he slammed Gungnir on the ground, and his voice was like a loud bell, resounding throughout Asgard:
"I, All-Father Odin, today announce that Your Excellency Lucifer is Asgard [Executive Deputy Divine King], who can take charge of all affairs of Asgard, and his status is the same as that of the Divine King!"
After finishing his words, he looked at Lu Xi again and said sincerely:
"I don't have much time left, Thor and my character is not strong enough. I really have no choice but to entrust you with important matters."
"If Thor is incompetent, you can become the master of the Divine Realm and protect Asgard."
Lu Xi looked surprised, are you just playing around with Baidi City Tuogu?
Damn it, am I becoming Zhuge Liang?
At this time, everyone in the hall understood Odin's decision.
The consequences of Ragnarok are so serious. If someone can really break the fate and save Asgard from water and fire...
Even if it means changing to a God King, it seems to be quite worth it.
Odin glanced around and took in everyone's expressions.
Seeing that everyone was willing, he gave Gungnir another meal and said majestically to everyone:
"Not yet see King New Gods!"
Only then did everyone react, and they all knelt down and saluted Lu Xi, shouting in unison:
"See New Gods, His Majesty the King!"
Even Thor, a fool who has always been carefree, was kneeling with a sincere look on his face at this moment.
At this time, Frigga stepped forward with a smile and handed over a golden robe.
"Your Excellency King New Gods, this is God-King Armor that we asked the dwarf king to use the remains of Destroyer to expeditiously forge. Please try it and see how it works."
Lu Xi subconsciously took over this robe.
The moment the robe touched him, it automatically recognized its owner and put it on him.
In an instant, a gorgeous and majestic golden robe fit Lu Xi perfectly.
Lu Xi Looking at himself like this, he felt a sense of déjà vu and could not help but sigh:
"Oh, you have hurt me."
All in all, this deal was quite a bargain for him.
The so-called peak restraining power of Skyfather-level is really nothing with his Universal-level strength.
First, you can obtain the soul of Odin.
Although Odin is more powerful than Skyfather-level, in the eyes of Lu Xi, his soul value is similar to that of Pepper Potts.
I think it's probably because in the Thor series of stories, the protagonist is always Thor, and Odin's role is relatively limited.
More importantly, Lu Xi just had a bold idea.
When fighting Odin in the afternoon, he discovered that Asgard also had some kind of Lord Buff bonus.
He really wanted to try if he became the God King of Asgard, and could the Lord Buff obtained be superimposed with the increase of Lord Hell.
If this idea can be successful...
At that time, there will be a Hell red buff on his left and a Divine Realm blue buff on his right.
With both buffs in hand, I have the world?
