"You're great, kid!"
"Loufi shouted from inside his helmet of ice.
“You’re not bad either, old man!” Zhang Bairen retorted directly in the same tone.
"Boy, do you know that this is not even my full strength?"
"If you spare me now, I'm willing to retreat, and you'll also gain the friendship of the Frost Giants!" Laufey swept his spear, extinguishing Zhang Bairen's fire attack.
"So, how about it? Want to consider it?" Laufey continued to ask.
"Trying to run?! No way!"
"There's no real benefit to be gained, so don't even think about escaping!" Upon hearing Laufey's question, Zhang Bairen immediately pulled out his spacetime projection, blocking Laufey's hopes of escape.
Seeing Zhang Bairen's ungrateful attitude, Laufey flew into a rage.
Immediately afterwards, his already 100-meter-tall body began to grow uncontrollably.
"Damn it! Bastard!"
Since you're pushing me so hard, don't blame me for fighting you to the death!
I never imagined that the Ice Box, which has accumulated energy for thousands of years, would use it on a junior like you!
How awful!
After Laufey finished speaking, the chill emanating from him became even more terrifying, and the ice on his body became even thicker.
Soon, it reached a height of several thousand meters.
In this form, Laufey resembled a frost titan from the beginning of time, his body covered in crystal-clear ice that reflected a dazzling cold light.
At this moment, every strike from Laufey was equivalent to his previous ultimate attack.
The consumption involved represents the accumulation of the Ice Box over thousands of years.
Zhang Bairen showed no fear and poured all his energy into the phoenix flames.
This caused the phoenix flames to burn even more intensely.
In a clash between extreme cold and extreme heat, the outcome depends on which one runs out of energy first.
Absolute zero!
"
A terrifying cold current erupted from Laufey's chest, and even the invisible space showed signs of cracking and freezing.
Zhang Bairen wields the Phoenix Sword, amplifying its power through martial arts techniques.
In an instant, a beam of pure white light met the scorching sword energy.
The spacetime projection pulled out by Zhang Bairen charged towards Laufey.
This is a method that imitates the Star Eater Wings, which uses the spacetime annihilation of projection to take away any enemy and attack.
Just as the two were exchanging blows, Odin awoke.
Odin broke free of the ice, summoned back the Spear of Eternity, and looked at the Frost Giant King, whose body was ten thousand meters tall.
"Gangniel!"
After the true name was recited, the eternal spear, guaranteed to strike, shone with dazzling golden light in Odin's hand.
Then, Odin hurled the spear with all his might, and like a meteor falling from the sky, it pierced through Laufey's icy eye socket head-on.
"boom!
!
The intense pain and impact caused Laufem to stumble.
Immediately afterwards, he fell backward. Before Laufey could even open his mouth to curse, Zhang Bairen seized the opportunity, causing the spacetime projection to disappear on the spot, taking away half of Laufey's head.
In the blink of an eye, first Odin launched a sneak attack, and then Zhang Bairen launched another.
These two sneak attacks nearly cost Laufey his life.
Laufey, enraged, turned to Odin.
But Odin once again grasped the Spear of Eternity.
"Loufi, does it feel uncomfortable to be blind?"
After asking the question, before Laufey could answer, Odin began chanting again.
"Gangniel!"
As the true name was chanted, the Spear of Eternity transformed into a shooting star, piercing Laufey's other eye.
Zhang Bairen's body, enveloped in phoenix flames, charged straight towards Laufey.
Don't rush with the Ice Box; this Frost Giant King is definitely a great tonic!
The black demon king wielded white flames.
The enormous maw that devoured everything caused Laufey to lose his life.
The elderly Odin looked at the battlefield and muttered to himself, "This power, could it be the black dragon that devours everything?"
Zhang Bairen was unaware of Odin's thoughts; all he wanted to do was devour Laufey while it was still hot—no, it should be said, while it was still cool.
At this moment, Laufey had just had his head swallowed, and within his body remained the energy of the Ice Box accumulated over thousands of years.
This energy cannot be wasted.
As for the Ice Box, we can just add it to our collection later.
"Clatter, snap~"
Zhang Bairen devoured Laufey in a few bites, just like eating an ice pop, easily gaining the power of ice.
Odin, who had already awakened, ignored Zhang Bairen's actions and instead used his divine power to save his wife and son and melt the extreme cold ice covering Asgard.
Odin, who was nearing his death from old age, possessed immense divine power, even faintly surpassing that of the Heavenly Father.
However, Odin now has no desire to fight and doesn't want to meddle in other people's business.
He didn't care about the honor of a warrior, he could launch a sneak attack, he didn't care about Laufey's life or death, he only wanted to protect his family and home.
Therefore, Laufey's fate was sealed the moment he stepped into Asgard and began to destroy it.
Zhang Bairen was also highly regarded by Odin, but even though he was the reincarnation of the black dragon, he had nothing to do with Odin.
After swallowing Laufey, Zhang Bairen let out a burp. As for the Ice Box, he had already pocketed it.
It's likely that Odin wouldn't dare ask for it.
After all, he had put in a lot of effort in this battle. Odin had been watching the show for a long time. Did he have the nerve to ask for anything in return?
"Thinking about it carefully, I seem to have been trying to do too much but not mastering anything."
However, bigger is better, more is stronger. Laufey has been able to hold on until now, isn't it because of the endless cold air of the Ice Box?
So what if I'm greedy? I want to be omniscient and omnipotent! Zhang Bairen's thoughts transformed from initial self-doubt to self-affirmation.
In terms of temperament, Zhang Bairen has always been quite good.
"Thank you for your help, my nephew. Without your help, Asgard would have been destroyed." Odin, leaning on his spear of eternity, came to Zhang Bairen.
Upon hearing the words "nephew," Zhang Bairen guessed Odin's plan.
This old man hasn't given up on promoting his daughter.
"The God-King is too kind. Even without me, Laufey is no match for you."
"Besides, if it weren't for the God King's help, I would have had a hard time keeping the Frost Giant King, who was determined to leave," Zhang Bairen replied.
"Haha, the situation is different." (Lan)
I have fallen into Odin's slumber and it is difficult for me to wake up.
It was thanks to my nephew's delay that I had the chance to wake up again.
"Moreover, my nephew is young and promising. Even if I don't make a move, Laufey would be no match for you." Odin praised with a smile.
“Odin, this must be the Celestial talent who saved Asgard. Why don’t you quickly invite him into the palace to rest?” Frigga commanded.
"Mother, I think we should have a banquet to celebrate!"
Celebrate Loki's cunning in winning Laufey's favor, celebrate Asgard gaining a powerful ally, celebrate Laufey's death, and celebrate the King's reawakening!
"And we should also celebrate that I've become more mature," Thor suggested.
Upon hearing Thor's voice, a bewildered Loki glanced at him with great surprise.
"My plan failed, and it has plunged Asgard into crisis."
Thor, you may be foolish, but you are indeed stronger than me.
Perhaps the king of Asgard doesn't need wisdom, but rather force.
"A king without military might will only bring disaster and destruction," Loki muttered to himself.
Odin turned and replied, "No, a good king needs not only strength, but also wisdom."
Only those who possess both qualities can be considered a qualified king.
Loki, your wisdom... you could call yourself clever.
Moreover, you have failed this assessment.
Loki lowered his head and remained silent.
Facts speak louder than words; in this world, force ultimately prevails.
Wisdom? That's just a petty trick.
In the face of absolute power, wisdom is too elusive.
Today's events have drastically changed Loki's worldview.
