Novel Full Chapter 605 - The Handmaiden of the Gods
Odin’s appearance sent shockwaves throughout the entire Earth. His terrifying divine power could be sensed by all living beings, and even those working in outer space reported it to the surface. Even astronauts working in outer space felt the dreadful divine power, and most astonishingly, even in the depths of space, astronauts witnessed the scene of Odin seated on his throne.
This implies that the great god seated in the golden palace, overseeing the world, is not a scene visible only to creatures on Earth. It seems that the legendary Asgard’s location may indeed originate from another dimension, suggesting that this universe might not be a singular spatial structure.
Where exactly is Asgard? What are the nine worlds of Norse mythology? These are secrets that many experts in mythology want to uncover, and even physicists seek to understand the deeper laws governing the universe.
The abilities displayed by these gods seem to defy the achievements of human natural science as if these gods exist beyond the laws and cosmic rules.
However, Earthlings are unaware that the golden palace they see is, in fact, part of Louie’s divine realm. Only in his own divine realm can Louie carry out world transformations with minimal expenditure of divine power, making himself akin to a god of creation. If he wished, he could even construct a structure resembling the nine worlds of Norse mythology in his divine realm.
That golden palace is Louie’s Sleeping Dragon Temple and the Hlidskjalf is Louie’s divine throne.
The appearance of the great god Odin has energized the entire human population on Earth. With the presence of the internet, people from every corner of the world could communicate, and suddenly the entire world was immersed in discussions.
Although humans are very excited and fascinated by magic and mythology, many are also deeply concerned because they perceive Earth to be increasingly dangerous. It feels as though it could fall into destruction at any moment, and the appearance of these gods, one more terrifying than the other, only adds to the fear.
“We strongly demand an explanation for the appearance of the great god Odin on Earth!”
“Seconded, we have the right to know what’s happening on Earth!”
“Did Surtur really emerge in Antarctica? And is the previous rise in sea levels related to it?”
“Absolutely, this concerns the survival of humanity, and you have no right to keep it hidden!”
“……”
Many activists raised their voices, expressing concern for humanity. This drew numerous supporters, and even celebrities wrote lengthy essays, condemning what they saw as a barbaric act of concealment.
However, the heads of the United Nations and various countries chose to ignore these protests. To them, it’s a joke. At this point, if they were to reveal that Antarctica might melt at any moment, that the human world might be on the brink of destruction, and that Earth had narrowly escaped being obliterated by the Great God’s Eternal Spear, humanity would probably self-destruct on its own.
Certainly, the governments of various countries were aware that such matters couldn’t be concealed for long. The events occurring in Antarctica had become too prominent. Therefore, all governments were preparing to inform the public about everything that had happened in Antarctica through video after the events had concluded. The extent to which content would be edited from these videos was a matter of individual discretion.
Some people sought attention, some aimed for higher social status, and there were those genuinely concerned about the safety of the Earth and humanity. However, the majority of internet users fell into a category of people from lower social strata who were content as long as they had enough to eat. Even if the Earth were to face imminent destruction, they probably wouldn’t be too bothered.
In any case, the wealthiest individuals were likely the most fearful. They had nothing to lose, and in a world where everyone perished, they might even consider themselves to be better off. This situation led to philosophical reflections akin to, “No matter how wealthy you are, in the end, you become dust!”
These internet users, aside from enthusiastically discussing the appearance of the great god Odin, shifted their attention to the Valkyries. Within a short span, numerous videos started circulating, all shot with high-definition equipment, showing the Valkyries and Odin galloping together on the Rainbow Bridge, arriving on Earth.
“These Valkyries are incredibly beautiful, perfectly matching the image of a Valkyrie in my mind!”
“I envy those warriors in Norse mythology who become an Einherjar. I also want to be taken to Valhalla by a Valkyrie.”
“The so-called Einherjar are deceased, so if you want to go, just slit your throat. Then you might have a chance.”
“They look like they’ve stepped right out of a comic book. Their presence far surpasses any celebrities or models!”
“Of course, celebrities and models are just humans, while these Valkyries are almost like semi-divine beings. Comparing humans to gods is simply ludicrous!”
“I’m finished for today. How about the rest of you?”
“I plan to watch pictures and videos of these Valkyries ten times in a row!”
“Warrior, for your courage to watch ten times in a row, you qualify to enter Valhalla and become a brave Einherjar!”
“Valhalla needs talent like you!”
“I really love Wonder Woman and the actress who played Diana. She’s incredibly beautiful. But compared to these Valkyries, it’s just not on the same level. This kind of presence can’t be acted out no matter what…”
“In Norse mythology, many of these Valkyries are either goddesses or princesses of human kings. Damn it, I want to be a prince! I want to be a warrior!”
“Let me try setting fire to my room and see if I can become an Einherjar.”
This is a story from Germanic legend, specifically recorded in the Volsunga Saga.” It tells the tale of the Germanic hero Sigurd, who, in a house surrounded by flames, finds the sleeping Brynhild and falls in love with her, a story of love between a hero and a Valkyrie.
“Alvitr, Hervorgrlei, Geirskogul, Geirrod… Ah, among these Valkyries that have appeared, could any of these be them?”
There were some dedicated enthusiasts well-versed in Norse mythology who quickly listed over ten names of Valkyries, hoping to compare them with the images and videos captured.
However, these enthusiasts soon gave up, as the legends only provided brief descriptions of most Valkyries, making it nearly impossible to identify them based on just a few words. Only a few notable Valkyries were described in more detail.
The images of these Valkyries were not randomly created by Louie. In the world of San Soliel, several major planes featured unique races with complex relationships with the gods.
In the Arboreal Realm, where Louie resides, there’s a race known as the Azata, and one of the lillend offered to Louie belonged to the Azata race.
Among the native races of the Azata, there were high-level beings known as ‘Khaeltin’. Although their name may sound like angels, their appearance closely resembled the Valkyries from Norse mythology, each wearing a hawk helmet and clad in battle armor. As high-ranking members of the Azata, each of them had extensive battle experience. Louie selected some of the female Khaeltin from the Azata and used their appearances to create this group of Valkyries.
Hence, the Valkyries witnessed by the people of Earth could indeed be considered genuine Valkyries, as the true forms of these apparitions served Louie, a true god, living in Dragonblight. They were essentially his divine attendants.
