Simplified Runes

Golden Palace.

Silver Hall.

Chen Ji and the diva Frigga sat facing each other.

Thor, Volstagg, Fandral, Hogun stood aside, listening to Chen Ji's description, their eyes gleaming with a sharp light, as if they were beginning to understand.

The admiration and respect for Chen Ji were beyond measure!

Turn out to be...

Rune can be understood in this way?

"Rune."

"It's actually a magical pattern."

"The 24 Primal Runes, including the Rune Script Primal Runes from them, are all the same; there's nothing special about them."

"However, since it is a pattern, it can be engraved onto objects. This is a relatively simple application. The relationship between the two is simply that of magic and a carrier."

"Objects are only one type of medium, not the whole. A medium includes objects, but also paper, scrolls, talismans, and people..."

"A tattoo culture is prevalent in the Midgard."

"It involves using technology and ruthless techniques to imprint specific patterns onto the skin, making them virtually indelible."

"In the East, there is also a culture of talismans, which contain magic within paper. As long as a large number of talismans are prepared in advance, they can produce amazing effects in battle."

"Certainly."

"The Primal Runes were obscure and incredibly complex; Simplified Runes is the right thing to do."

Chen Ji spoke eloquently.

He expressed his thoughts, observations, and experiences after learning Rune Magic in beautiful and concise language.

Queen Frigga's expression changed upon hearing this.

As a [Rune Witch] and [Ancient Scholar], she immediately understood Chen Ji's meaning!

Her beautiful eyes flickered as she glanced hastily at the corridor behind her. She already knew that Odin was also listening in!

In fact, her meeting with Chen Ji was arranged by Odin!

The Evil God Loki's true identity enraged Odin.

He originally intended to severely punish Chen Ji, but the Empress Dowager stopped him.

But even Queen Frigga didn't expect that Chen Ji's understanding of Rune Magic was so profound!

"Tattoo?"

"To have Rune engraved on the skin?"

"Talismans?"

"... It's truly remarkable that you could think of these things, Chen!"

Queen Frigga showed her approval.

This was a research direction she had never imagined.

Both the talismans and the tattoos amazed her, and she became completely convinced of the prophecy Odin had mentioned!

If Ragnarok could truly be reversed... then Chen would be the only one capable of doing so!

"Simplified Runes?"

What does this mean?

"Rune..."

"Can it be simplified further?"

Thor, the Thor god, couldn't suppress his curiosity and hurriedly asked.

This is a question that both Odin and Frigga share.

The greatest truths are the simplest.

"This is an old saying that has been passed down in the East."

"Actually... when I deciphered the Primal Runes, I already discovered that this Rune has multiple meanings, and the source of these multiple meanings lies in the Rune itself."

Chen Ji's gaze remained calm.

Immediately, he activated his magic, and with a flick of his finger, he drew Dodge Rune out of thin air.

The Rune hovered in mid-air, radiating a dazzling purple light and exuding a mysterious and unpredictable magical aura, leaving Thor completely baffled.

"What's the meaning?"

"Explain it clearly!"

Thor, the hammer god Thor, looked impatient.

"Thor."

Have you forgotten the manners I taught you?

Queen Frigga's stern face immediately made Thor lower his head, like a child who had made a mistake.

"The reason why Rune have multiple meanings, in my observation, is because Rune themselves are not naturally formed, but rather... deliberately shaped in this way!"

"Primal Runes were created!"

"Each stroke on it carries a meaning; to Simplified Runes, one must simplify their strokes!"

Chen Ji's eyes were sharp, and his words were startling.

The sight caused Frigga and Thor to widen their eyes in shock, their minds reeling, and they exchanged bewildered glances!

"Impossible!"

"The Primal Runes, fallen from the World Tree, have always looked like this!"

"It has never changed!"

"How could it possibly have been created?"

A furious and fierce voice rang out.

Suddenly, a burly, imposing elderly figure appeared at the entrance of the corridor, his right eye covered with gold leaf, his face full of anger.

Even dressed in loose casual clothes, he still exuded an extremely fierce and terrifying aura, which startled the Warriors Three, who hurriedly bowed in respect.

"His Majesty!"

What are you doing here?

Volstagg, Hogun, Fandral all looked slightly confused.

Odin was instantly rendered speechless.

An awkward feeling arose for no apparent reason.

You can't exactly say he'd been eavesdropping here the whole time, can you?!

Don't you have any shame?

He is the king of the gods!

"Lord Odin."

"That is indeed the case."

"Not only the Rune, but the entire universe, including my planet and my race, was created."

"Shouldn't you know this better than I do?"

Chen Ji remained expressionless, maintaining a facade of respect, but he did not yield in the slightest.

In the realms of magic and academia, he held almost rigid convictions, unless Odin could logically refute his assumptions.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to back down at all!

"Create..."

"You and your planet were created."

"But Rune are absolutely impossible!"

Odin was stubborn and had no corresponding evidence, which made Chen Ji secretly laugh.

"Lord Odin."

"We've gone off on a tangent."

"As you can see, this Rune contains multiple meanings, but I have only drawn one stroke, so it will not have any real effect."

Chen Ji demonstrated it on the spot.

A stroke was drawn out of thin air; this is one of the strokes of the Primal Runes.

Logically speaking, incomplete Rune strokes should not possess any power at all.

However.

The scene unfolding before him caused Odin's one eye to widen in shock!

This stroke of the brush actually exudes the aura of Rune Magic!

Facts speak louder than words!

Odin remained silent.

He lived for thousands of years, sacrificed his right eye, and hung upside down on the World Tree for nine days and nine nights before obtaining the Primal Runes.

Result...

How come he doesn't have a deeper understanding of Rune than Chen Ji, who has only just begun to learn Rune Magic?

This is simply outrageous!

But he couldn't bear to interrupt Chen Ji.

Because he knew that the end was near, if Simplified Runes could be made available to every household, it would surely bring about a complete leap forward for Asgard, and even reversing Ragnarok would no longer be a pipe dream!

"I think I understand!"

Thor 'Thor eyes lit up.

He couldn't draw Complete Rune, but drawing a single Rune of it was easy enough.

He directly imitated Chen Ji's strokes, his magic surged, turning into pigment, and instantly condensed into a Rune stroke!

It worked!

This... stirred the Warriors Three's desire.

They all started trying it out.

In an instant.

Three simple Rune strokes appeared on the palm of his hand.

With Chen Ji's 'lecture', Thor the Thor God and the Warriors Three instantly grasped the mysteries of the Rune!

Now, Odin and Frigga were speechless.

Thor's magical talent was practically zero, yet under Chen Ji's tutelage, he still managed to master a Rune stroke.

This shows that...

Chen Ji's talent in the field of Rune is simply monstrous!

"List."

I will try to persuade the Ancient One.

"Establish a magic academy in Asgard, but you cannot teach Secret Art Magic, only Rune Magic!"

"Your simplified Rune Magic!"

"And... you want to see the World Tree in person?"

"Then come with me!"

Odin's eyes flickered, showing both relief and resentment.

Faced with enormous benefits, he chose to compromise and make concessions, temporarily setting aside his personal dislike and formally extending an olive branch to Chen Ji!
