Jotunheim.

As one of the Nine Realms.

It possesses immense magical power.

Even though it is shrouded in thick frost year-round and the temperature is minus forty or fifty degrees Celsius, as long as one can adapt to this place, one can draw upon the power of Jotunheim.

This is almost like a different dimension!

Furthermore, Jotunheim is in a precarious situation, with Laufey killed in battle and Loki in exile, leaving it leaderless.

If this opportunity is missed, and the strongest person fills the vacancy and becomes the King of Jotunheim, then the difficulty of conquering this place will increase exponentially.

Chen Ji wields the Icebreaker Hammer, and with the [Protagonist's Halo] above his head, he comes with his own buff!

Taking the opportunity to ascend to the throne of King of Jotunheim is not exactly easy, but it's almost effortless!

Icebreaker Hammer.

It's equivalent to Jotunheim's Eternal Spear.

Whoever possesses this item will be able to lead the Frost Giants!

Certainly.

What he can offer goes far beyond that; he also has Entry System that can create cloned dictionaries!

Making the Frost Giants the number one power in the Nine Realms would be a piece of cake.

During the battle, Chen Ji noticed a giant elder who seemed to have considerable influence in Jotunheim. He thought it might be helpful if he could gain the elder's trust.

Therefore, Chen Ji's plan to become king will face virtually no obstacles!

Chen Ji flew at breakneck speed, like a black lightning bolt, his Cloak of Levitation fluttering wildly.

Soon, with his amazing perception, he instantly located the giant elder and saw a vast number of Frost Giants.

Upon seeing the intruders, the burly, robust young giants immediately gripped their stone clubs and wooden mallets, their faces contorted with ferocity!

After all, everyone still remembers how Chen Ji and Thor fought side by side!

He came from the Midgard!

"It seems the battle is over?"

Loki escaped?

"Or... Asgard intends to wipe us out?"

The giant elder's eyes flickered.

He lived in the same era as Laufey the Giants, was much older, and also participated in the Battle of Tønsberg.

Jotunheim, beset by internal and external troubles, was also feeling extremely troubled.

Jotunheim...

Where exactly are they going?

Could it be that the Frost Giants race will also vanish completely from the Nine Realms today?

Like the Dark Elves of the past?

The next second.

The giant elder noticed that Chen Ji's gaze was fixed on him, his eyes filled with amusement, but without any murderous intent.

[Name]: Mimir

[Identity]: Wisdom Giant

[Entry]: Ancient Giant (Purple), Supreme Wisdom (Purple).

[Ancient Giant] (Purple): He is one of the oldest giants, possessing pure giant blood, and has been the right-hand man of every Giant King. He is highly respected in Jotunheim.

[Supreme Wisdom] (Purple): He is the master of the Fountain of Wisdom. After drinking from the Fountain of Wisdom, he gained insight into many knowledge and secrets.

"Mimir?"

"Wisdom Giant?"

"This name sounds familiar..."

Chen Ji leaped down.

Looking at the burly, aged, white-haired giant with bright eyes before him, he gently swung the Icebreaker Hammer, completely unconcerned about the gazes of others.

Mimir.

Legend has it that he shared the Fountain of Wisdom with Odin, thus allowing Odin to learn the secrets of the World Tree and master the Primal Runes of the mysterious weapons.

However, in orthodox Norse Mythology, his head was cut off!

It became Odin's "Little Love Assistant".

But Earth-996, where he lives, doesn't seem to have this history.

That's normal.

In Infinite Multiverse, anything is possible!

He'll believe whatever comes to mind!

Thinking too hard and exhausting yourself is just asking for trouble.

After all, he cannot interfere with the past; he can only indirectly influence the future.

"Are you the Midgard Mage?"

"List?"

"Have you come before me to kill me?"

"The Wisdom Giant Mimir said in a deep voice."

Before he could finish speaking...

All the giants immediately assumed a fighting stance, ready to fight to the death if Chen Ji dared to make a move!

It's nothing more than death!

"No."

"Mimir."

"I've come here to tell you some good news: Frost Loki has escaped."

"Furthermore, I intend to take over the Frost Country, become your king, and protect you Frost Giants, ensuring you will never face war Yongshi."

A smile appeared on Chen Ji's lips.

Let's get straight to the point.

Mimir was immediately stunned.

Even after drinking from the Fountain of Wisdom and living for thousands of years, he still never expected that Chen Ji would come for this reason!

Become the King of the Frost Giants?

A Midgard monk?

Faintly.

A burst of mocking laughter erupted from the crowd, seemingly ridiculing his small stature and accusing him of overestimating his abilities and lacking any self-awareness!

Giants will never be slaves!

"Look carefully."

"I wield the Icebreaker Hammer, do you know what that means?"

"If any of you are still not convinced, then challenge me directly."

Chen Ji's eyes snapped open.

It instantly exuded a magnificent aura!

An endless aura of frost emanated from its body, rising like a waterfall and clouds; the power of Fimbulwinter almost shook the entire city.

This left all the Frost Giants speechless for a moment!

A wave of fear welled up from the depths of my being!

"Icebreaker..."

"You actually lifted the Icebreaker!"

"According to the tradition of the giant race, whoever can wield this weapon is indeed qualified to be king."

"But you are not Frost Giants!"

"We've already learned our lesson once; we can't afford to make the same mistake twice."

Mimir shook his head.

The Two-World War instigated by Loki not only left a psychological scar on the people of Asgard, but also on the giants.

It was simply a pointless war fought without any reason.

Even though he had secretly advised Laufey, blinded by her own desires, did not heed his advice and died in Asgard!

This shows just how important a qualified leader is. If another Loki were to appear, the Frost Giants would likely face extinction!

So...

He did not trust Chen Ji and intended to abolish the monarchy, a system that could very well lead to the demise of the Frost Giants.

Who says Frost Giants are necessarily primitive and backward?

He had heard about the reforms at Kamar-Taj; Kamar-Taj had established the Mystic Council, so he could also create a copycat Frost Council!

For this Wisdom Giant, the Nine Realms held almost no secrets.

After all, he is the master of the Fountain of Wisdom, through which he can see the Nine Realms!

"You're planning to establish the Frost Council?"

What a coincidence!

Do you know who initiated the Mystic Council of Kamar-Taj?

"I am but a humble person, and that is indeed me."

Chen Ji smiled and pointed to himself.

Moment.

Mimir's eyes widened in disbelief.

"You are the Acting Sorcerer Supreme?"

"List?"

A hint of curiosity rose on Mimir's face.

"My name has Jotunheim?"

"That's right."

"What does Loki call me?"

Chen Ji smiled.

That makes things much easier!

Wasn't all his cultivation of credibility and empty fame for this very moment?

Otherwise, what's the point?

Just like Song Jiang, the timely rain, who held the top position among the Liangshan heroes!

The name came first, then the person.

Although fame cannot be directly monetized, it can indirectly bring hidden benefits.

Just like how wealthy people always dedicate themselves to philanthropy, is it really just for charity? It's more about creating a public image!

How could he not understand this?

He only addresses you as Master Midgard.

"So you are the Acting Sorcerer Supreme."

"In that case, I'm willing to cooperate with you, but you must never become king."

Mimir looked very serious.

He has already planned to abolish the tradition of hereditary kingship.

The old traditions will disappear.

He also possesses the corresponding prestige and strength.

"Cannot be king."

"In what capacity do I protect Jotunheim?"

"Having substance but no name?"

"I'm afraid I'm afraid I can't help you."

Chen Ji's eyes darted around, and he decided to retreat as a tactic to advance.

He represents not only Asgard, but also Kamar-Taj!

Backed by two powerful forces, Mimir naturally knew the importance of his position.

Moreover, Kamar-Taj has always been more well-regarded than Asgard.

Whether it's the Icebreaker Hammer or the Acting Sorcerer Supreme, the key is what benefits it can bring!

Firstly, it is about protection.

To save the Frost Giants from Odin's wrath.

Secondly, there are resources.

He can monetize Jotunheim's resources, manufacturing them into all sorts of goods, bringing a leap in the quality of life for Jotunheim.

Thirdly...

There's no need to reveal this to Mimir for the time being.

However, as Ancient Giant possessing Supreme Wisdom, Mimir should be able to understand!

"Anyway, there will never be a king in Jotunheim again."

"List."

Mimir was making a crazy suggestion.

"I see."

"From this day forward, I am the Lord of Jotunheim, the Protector of the Frost Giants."

"You need not worry about Odin's retaliation. I am both the Acting Sorcerer Supreme of Kamar-Taj and the Headmaster of the Asgard Rune Academy."

"I will not interfere in your clan's affairs, but you must not refuse me when I need you."

Chen Ji raised the Icebreaker Hammer, immediately understanding Mimir's implication.

Boom!

The Icebreaker Hammer shone with a dazzling light, almost illuminating the entire sky.

Seeing this, all the Frost Giants were deeply moved and knelt down on one knee, offering their loyalty and faith.

Whether it's the King of Giants or the Lord of Jotunheim, they are just titles.

What he wants is the loyalty of the giants!

"Hope..."

"I didn't make the wrong choice this time."

Mimir's eyes flickered.

He staked almost all his honor on Chen Ji.

In short.

It wasn't that Chen Ji was truly charismatic; rather, it was that he rose to power through Mimir's connections!

[Your actions have brought about a major turning point in Jotunheim's destiny; you are awarded 10,000 Luck Value Points.]

One, ten, hundred, thousand...

Ten thousand?!

A reward of 10,000 Luck Value?!

Zun Du is fake?

This is truly a windfall!

Chen Ji's eyes lit up with ecstatic joy.

I almost burst out laughing.

Unexpectedly, his unintentional act brought him a rich reward.

It seems...

He became the Lord of Jotunheim, which truly saved the Frost Giants from a bloodbath by the King of the Gods!

At present.

He can upgrade another Red Entry!

The Luck Value has accumulated to an astronomical figure!

[Name]: Chen Ji

[Identity]: Acting Sorcerer Supreme

[Talent]: Super Genius (Purple), Doing What Others Can't (Red), Following the Dao Follows Nature (Red), Easy Wins Are the True Way (Red), Protagonist's Halo (Red), Omega-Level (Red), One Mind, Many Uses (Purple), Evil Repulsion (Purple), Time Traveler (Pink), Cangjie's Proxy (Black), The Eye Demon's Gaze (Black).

[Luck Value]: 19945.9

Chen Ji looked at the Entry Panel and was filled with positive energy!

Then, without hesitation, he chose...

Upgrade now!

[Should I use Luck Value on [Super Genius] (Purple)?]

"Sure!"

Chen Ji secretly looked forward to it.

What are the effects of Red Entry?!

[[Super Genius] (Purple) has evolved into the entry [[One of the Smartest People on Earth] (Red)]

[One of the Smartest People on Earth] (Red): Your Mind Beyond Genius, your mind is incredibly developed, and no scientific or technological knowledge in any discipline can stump you. Your way of thinking is completely ahead of the times. There are very few beings who can compare to you.

Tsk!

Chen Ji's eyes widened, a look of surprise flashing across them.

"One of the Smartest People on Earth?"

"Am I now Hank?"

"If Hank can research the isotopes of the Power Stone, then I have no reason why I can't do it too, right?"

Chen Ji was overjoyed.

This entry pleased him immensely.

As the phrase "[One of the Smartest People on Earth]" was confirmed, he immediately felt an endless stream of knowledge appear out of thin air in his mind.

This feeling can only be understood intuitively, not explained in words.

What If...? being a "Super Genius" is still within the realm of what ordinary people can achieve, then being "One of the Smartest People on Earth" has already surpassed the limits of what ordinary people can reach!

The obstacles that obscured his spiritual wisdom, or what could be called mental fog, have now completely vanished!

It's like unlocking the brain's limiters.

His perspective and understanding of things transcend the cognitive scope of ordinary people, and the amount of information he can receive and absorb is also growing exponentially!

The brain is likened to a chip.

It's like upgrading from 100 nanometers to 1 nanometer!

Performance, intelligence, and all kinds of data have seen leaps and bounds, and the potential is far from over!

There are probably only a handful of Genius Scientist who can rival him!

Beast Hank, Tony Stark, Reed Richards, Bruce Banner, Hank Pym, Arnim Zola, Victor Doom...

That's all!

This world, Earth-996, has the Baxter Foundation!

Chen Ji, however, has not been there yet.

After all, Mister Fantastic also has the nickname "The Mystic Reed," and is a notorious troublemaker!

Anything he gets involved in is bound to end badly.

Certainly.

Another key reason is that Reed Richards hadn't become Mister Fantastic yet, so there was no point in him going.

After calming down, Chen Ji looked at the Frost Giants and waved his hand dismissively.

Get up.

There's no need to be bound by such rituals.

"The kneeling ceremony should also be abolished, just like the hereditary system."

Where is the Fountain of Wisdom?

"I want to see the Fountain of Wisdom."

"By the way..."

"Let's inspect Jotunheim and see what resources it has. I don't believe this country is as barren as I imagine."

Chen Ji looked around.

With his extraordinary perception, he already knew the answer!
