Chapter 461: Star, Niflheim (6)

Despite feeling light-headed, Chang-Sun tried hard to pull himself together. I shouldnt let him sway me.

Were his goal to confuse Chang-Sun before the negotiation, Loki succeeded. Judging from Jrmungandrs reaction, however, it seemed Loki often acted like this.

Thanatos also told me to be careful.

I should be wary of Loki while subjugating ? Chang-Sun repeated.

Yes.

He truly must be someone to be reckoned with. He used to be Odins rival too, didnt he?

Thanatos smiled bitterly. Hmm

Whats with the smile?

Just like you said, hes indeed formidable in more ways than one.

Chang-Sun couldnt understand what Thanatos meant.

Youll know once you meet him.

No one could have expected that Thanatos warning would hold this much meaning.

Finding it necessary to take the initiative and stop Loki from swaying him any further, Chang-Sun decided to tackle the obstacle head-on. I believe you want the cure for Angrboda.

Hmph! Theres no need to jump right into such a complicated matter. We can enjoy each others company a little more, cant we? Loki asked mischievously, holding his slender index finger against his lip.

Chang-Sun noticed Lokis eyes had become sharp. This isnt really the time to relax, though, is it?

Not the time to relax?

You do know that is imminent, dont you?

Lokis gaze grew cold, like the time he had blocked the spatial gap to .

Chang-Sun continued, I wont be able to close Ubbo-Sathlas gate next time.

I guess. We have a great geographical advantage, but we dont have anyone who can freely use omnipotence. Besides, Ubbo-Sathla isnt an idiot. They wont fall for the same trick twice. Loki let go of Bel-Marduks arm and crossed his legs. Bel-Marduk heaved a sigh of relief, but Loki couldnt seem to care less. Whats your plan, then? Even if I somehow save Angrboda, it wouldnt matter if we meet .

Chang-Sun nodded.

Keep in mind that the Alliance is a mess right now. Some babies are whining to withdraw from the alliance, so you better stay on high alert, sweetie. Loki glanced at Bel-Marduk. Things in are a total disaster, too. Sorting out the aftermath of all this will be very tough.

Ubbo-Sathlas summons had always begun with Sadalmelik using herself as a sacrificial offering. From s perspective, it would be like watching a nuclear bomb suddenly drop in the center of their base. They were bound to take the biggest damage. Nevertheless, Bel-Marduk scoffed, showing no interest in the news.

He must be used to it, Chang-Sun thought.

He didnt know if Bel-Marduks first encounter with Ubbo-Sathla began in the same way, but the trigger had to be similar. Chang-Sun momentarily wondered how many times had fallen and restored in the process.

So, whats your plan? Loki asked again.

Are you asking me to reveal all my cards right now?

Hmph. Youre really hard to deal with. That means you do have a plan, dont you, sweetie?

Ill explain it in the Alliances next general meeting.

Fine. Loki played with his lip for a moment and then crossed his arms. In that case, lets get back to the main topic. How are you going to cure Angrboda?

Thats right.

Hohoho! Sweetie, I think youre being too greedy here. Angrboda is indeed the love of my life, but youre asking me to give you all of just to save her. Loki smiled alluringly. Do I look that blinded by love to you?

There were plenty of precedents in history when love had blinded a person enough to ruin a country. Considering his famous undying love for Angrboda, Loki could have been one of them. However, he had just made it clear that he would never let that happen and that he had not forgotten his duties as a ruler.

You can threaten me and tell me youre not going to stop Ubbo-Sathla all you want, but it wont work. Even if I promise to hand over to you, my children will definitely try to tear my hair out. Should you still try to subjugate us, you will leave us with no other choice but to fight, Loki said with a shrug.

I have no intention of forcing to fall under my command. That would just create an internal strife that would eventually destroy it.

Oh, that is insightful of you. What will you ask in return, then?

Give me the verses of [Bestlas Poem], Chang-Sun requested.

Lokis eyes widened. Smiling bitterly, he replied, Youre even slyer than I thought, sweetie.

Considering verses of [Bestlas Poem] were all over and , which both came from Bestlas original forces, had to have some too. Hence, Chang-Sun demanded them as a realistic price for his services.

The demand was enough for Loki to get wind of Chang-Suns ultimate goal.

Be it the Fire Giants, Frost Giants, or Variant Giants of , every one of them misses Bestlas glorious days. Thats why weve all been holding onto her verses. What do you think will happen if they are all merged into one and mastered for the first time? Chang-Sun asked.

People will believe that a new Bestla has been born, Bel-Marduk answered.

Exactly. It will make obey me of their own volition. No matter their political situation, they wont be able to defy the trend.

The old Celestial King will return, and the Giants revival will be complete.

Chang-Sun nodded. Thats right.

He planned to subjugate as naturally as possible by including them in the alliance of revived Giants.

Chuckling, Bel-Marduk narrowed his eyes at him. He then brought up something that Chang-Sun hadnt mentioned yet. Thats not all, is it? As Odins reincarnation, youll reach even higher leagues. The combination of Giant Celestial King Bestlas and the Odin dreamed of as a Celestial King itll surely be a sight.

When Chang-Sun faintly smiled, Bel-Marduk burst into laughter. Thats quite an adorable idea. If the two can be merged and, after conquering , , and, you also go after the old and ... then that would be a completely different story. You might even reach a level higher than Celestial King.

Bel-Marduk bared his fangs, causing them to gleam. Once you have your six hundred sixty-five past reincarnations under control and awaken to your complete and flawless self, youll finally have a chance against Ubbo-Sathla.

Few beings were perfect in the Great Universeno, the same could be said even for those in the Outer Universe even though they were called Emperors.

That is the hope you saw in the future timelines, isnt it?

Chang-Sun chose not to answer. His silence implied a lot of things, and one of them was that all the timelines that he had seen unveiled a clear solution. Sinmaras eyes didnt just show him the paths that he had passed or could have passed. His six hundred sixty-five past reincarnations lives, accomplishments, legends, ... he saw everything that his soul had gone through.

Watching all of them had shown him the best direction that his soul could takethe only way to stop the that Ubbo-Sathla brought.

Hating how composed Chang-Sun was, Bel-Marduk crossed his arms and clicked his tongue. I was wondering if you planned to just keep hiding this, but you dont seem to want to now.

I thought you would have found out sooner or later anyway.

What made you think that?

You and I are fundamentally the same, Chang-Sun answered.

Bel-Marduk looked displeased, but Chang-Sun understood why he would feel that way. Just several days ago, being told that they were similar to each other would have made him respond the same way.

Chang-Sun hadnt forgotten about his grudges against Bel-Marduk nor the fact that they were enemies. However, he had accepted that they shared the same roots and that his grudges were a separate issue.

You would have likely made and executed a plan similar to mine, Chang-Sun said, That makes me wonder, though. Why did you choose to create new and become who you are now instead of just becoming Odin?
