Chapter 3825 The Brilliant Rainbow (8) — It's fake, I say it's fake, so it is fake!
The old wound on his arm throbbed faintly, but Odin remained unfazed... as if he hadn't noticed that the throne had already been taken by someone else, he smiled slightly.
"Long time no see, Mr. Guardian of the Labyrinth."
"Oh?" Jin Shi casually propped his chin up, not in a hurry to kill this fish that escaped from the net back then... Anyway, he's been out of the loop for so many years, so it won't make a difference if he does it a little longer.
His main reason was that he also wanted to figure out some things that happened back then.
You can go without using your brain, but you can't be ignorant.
The labyrinth incident was basically orchestrated by Eleanor, whose main purpose was naturally to harvest the souls of the strong in World 003... After the labyrinth incident ended, Eleanor really made a fortune, and even got a piece of the pie herself.
However, all the powerful individuals who participated in the maze event were counted... This also means that who should die in the maze and who can survive and become a seed so that the extraordinary power of World 003 is not completely irrecoverable is all calculated.
Earlier, when Kintoki was feeding Abraham, he inadvertently discovered some strange things in the memories of the Great Sacrifice of Rahar.
It's not that the ancient Ganges priest who gave the memories of the High Priest of Rahar shouldn't have died... that priest was naturally on the death list, but there was a hidden [leader] who wasn't on the planned list.
The leader secretly colluded with the Allied forces from back then, but never surfaced, and no one ever knew his true identity. Everyone just subconsciously assumed that this leader was one of the leaders of the Allied forces back then.
There were several leaders of the Allied forces in the great war more than a hundred years ago, including those from the Holy See and the Magicians' Association. In fact, even members of the Michael Club participated, though not as members of the Club.
What Kintoki found strange was how Eleanor, with her shrewdness, hadn't noticed the existence of this "leader"... or did the other party have some special means to hide their presence throughout the entire incident?
Odin was neither on the list of the dead nor the list of the survivors... However, by digging deep into the corners of my own memories, I did find traces of this guy's participation in the war.
The maze was created by the eldest sister, and she actually made a mistake, which Kintoki found incredible... Even if the eldest sister was really misled by something, what about the [shopkeeper] uncle?
Uncle... surely you can't be unaware of this?
As the "store manager," I possess omniscient abilities... it's just a matter of whether I like using these abilities or not.
The new boss, Kintoki, doesn't know if he likes using it... but the [shop manager] uncle clearly does, and he's addicted to it, the kind that he just can't stop using.
……
"To be honest, I have absolutely no recollection of you." Jin Shi sneered. "But what I hate most is being made a fool of."
Odin calmly replied, "But in fact, what happened back then ended perfectly for you and your partner. The allied forces exhausted almost everything, lost almost all of their elite troops, and even caused a power imbalance in the entire world, ultimately succeeding in 'killing' the guardians of the labyrinth... The script is complete, isn't it?"
"So what role do you play in there?" Jin Shi narrowed his eyes, as if he were about to kill the other party if he didn't get what he wanted.
The eldest sister had already prepared a plan, so even without this "leader," the Allied forces would have still been able to assemble. Therefore, in the eldest sister's script, the "leader" was simply a superfluous role.
“If I said that I only forged my identity and hid among the allied forces to escape an enemy, would you believe me?” Odin said slowly. “My enemy is very powerful, but even if it is powerful, it dares not participate in the labyrinth you have set up. Therefore, it is observing in secret, and it will only be at ease if I die in the labyrinth.”
"An enemy?" Jin Shi tilted his head, crossed his arms, and squinted at [Odin] like an old man looking at his phone—I don't believe it!
Odin smiled slightly and said, "Because when I die in the labyrinth, it can only give up, because it dares not attack you, and can only leave in anger."
Kintoki believed this. The entire maze was planned by the eldest sister. Who would be so stubborn as to try to snatch something from her? They really thought their axe was too weak to cut anything.
"You old bastard." Jin Shi almost laughed out of anger at [Odin]... After all that, there was no conspiracy at all; he was just being used as a shield by this guy using the labyrinth?
"That's not right!" Jin Shi sneered, "If you're only trying to escape your enemies, what kind of 'leader' are you?"
Odin said helplessly, "If I don't take more initiative, my enemies will naturally guess my intentions. Only when I actively collude with the allied forces will they think I have some kind of conspiracy behind my back... but in the end, the conspiracy failed, and I ended up getting myself into trouble."
Jin Shi frowned, a thought flashing through his mind. "Your enemy... is the guy who's competing with you for the legend?"
Odin touched his chest and bowed slightly. "You are a wise man."
Jin Shi also felt that his flash of inspiration just now was really brilliant. He chuckled and said, "Since he's the guy who's competing with you for the legend, how could he not know whether you're dead or not? Old man, you're still not being honest."
Odin said, "I once ate a very special fruit from the void, which could conceal my existence for a considerable period of time. When the labyrinth incident ended, after consuming the fruit, I would simply be considered as your soul having been taken."
"You're quite honest, aren't you?" Jin Shi narrowed his eyes again.
Odin said seriously, "I think that if we are to make a deal with you, honesty is the best bargaining chip."
“But I’m still not happy. Since I didn’t kill you back then, then…” Jin Shi sneered, about to make a move, when “…what did you say, a deal?”
Odin smiled and waved his hand, and a black card immediately floated in his palm.
"Black card..."
Instantly, Kintoki's face looked like he had eaten shit!
The new boss has distributed a batch of black cards worldwide!
"Anyone who possesses the [Black Card] can gain the right to trade with you." [Odin] slowly walked towards the throne. "Although it is indeed difficult to obtain, as long as you understand the principle behind its appearance, it is still possible to find it with some time."
Jin Shi frowned, watching the other person approach, but he showed no intention of moving his buttocks—he had already sat down, and now he was being asked to move? Did he not care about his dignity?
"……what are you looking for."
"I will return to Asgard." Odin held the Black Card in his hand. "My throne has been stolen. It has stolen my divine power and colluded with my subordinates to cast me down from the realm of the gods. I swear I will take back everything I have and kill that despicable fellow on the throne of the King of the Gods."
"You think you can?" Jin Shi sneered disdainfully.
Aside from some special props, Kintoki could see right through the old man's true strength.
"What do you think of this Silver Hall?" Odin said calmly, "It is the true throne of Asgard. The souls of those enemies I have defeated are sealed here, and soon, the souls of all the extraordinary beings in the Hua Mansion will be devoured by the Silver Hall as well. I have been preparing for this moment for a long time."
What the hell is going on...?
Jin Shi began to have some doubts... Did I come here to cause trouble?
But should we do this deal or not?
If the labor and management are just debt collectors, and they simply kill people instead of handling the business... wouldn't the current Grand Steward of Dark Souls punish him to death? That woman is even more miserly than Eleanor...
If we do it...
Or we could just send away everyone in Washington who has even the slightest connection to China—but I'm not good at that kind of meticulous work.
But what about Abraham? He can't take Abraham's soul before his wish is fulfilled... Where the hell am I supposed to find something to balance things out?
The bloodline of the [Ghoul Demon] is all borrowed...
Sacrificing everyone alive in Washington, D.C., would not achieve the outcome Abraham desired—the outcome of saving the world.
But the [Black Card]...
Labor and management are indeed not suited for business; nothing is as comfortable as cutting people and taking money!
Odin was pressing closer, saying, "If you cannot represent [that place], then please send out your leader. I will not disappoint you in this deal. World 003 is a very special world. I have spent a long time hiding here, and I have long discovered that the quality of the human souls in this world far surpasses that of almost all other sub-worlds."
Seeing the other party's confident demeanor, Kintoki couldn't hold back his anger any longer and kicked out with his foot.
[Odin] never intended to do business with anyone; in reality, he was just a brainless brute. The moment that kick came, he was completely stunned.
But his reaction was quick enough... and in the Silver Hall, he instantly mobilized his power to block Kintoki's unsportsmanlike kick.
I wasn't injured, I just had to retreat about ten meters.
"What do you mean by this, Your Excellency?" Odin frowned immediately—he had already shown the utmost sincerity, hadn't he?
He had seen the Dark Souls before, but when he was the King of Asgard, he had enough power that he didn't need to.
All the Dark Soul Messengers I've ever met were incredibly polite... Even if those Dark Soul Messengers were weak (mass-produced cannon fodder Dark Souls), at least it showed that this was the attitude of the [shop]: the customer is king, and whoever pays the most is king?
It's not that he hasn't bought things from the [shop] before... otherwise, where would the [pain of the strong] come from?
……
"Fake!" Jin Shi suddenly exclaimed, his eyes widening.
"?"
Odin looked surprised.
Jin Shi sneered, "Your black card is fake! Well, you old bastard, you actually dared to try and fool me with a fake black card! You're asking for it... Take this axe!"
“How could this be fake!” Odin almost blurted out. “I want to see the shopkeeper!!”
But Kintoki didn't care about any of that. In a flash, he jumped off the throne and wielded a golden axe, heading straight for Odin!
"I say it's fake, so it's fake! Anyway, you said yourself that you died in that labyrinth back then... What are you still alive for?! That's right! I'm here to collect my debt from back then! You old bastard, prepare to die!"
Even if it's not fake, it should be made an ironclad case. How dare some bastard use a counterfeit "black card" to show off!
Jin Shi was gambling that the new BOSS didn't like to be omniscient all the time, and that the Grand Steward was currently cuddling with the new BOSS and ignoring him!
Anyway, Chief Steward Yuya doesn't like him either...
If you win the bet, nothing will happen!
He lost the bet... so what if he gets punished? He's not going to blow out his soul lamp or anything, is he? He's broke already, he's barefoot and has nothing to fear!
So what if the next holiday is a hundred thousand years from now?
But he couldn't sleep tonight because he was so angry... No one can make this man's mind go blank!
At this moment, Odin could not fathom Kintoki's thoughts at all... This was completely beyond his understanding of a normal Void Realm expert.
How did it turn out like this?
But when the Golden Eater came crashing down, Odin already smelled the scent of death. The power of the Silver Hall was so overwhelming that it was like paper, not even slowing down the opponent!
Instinctively, Odin raised the black card in his hand!
The Golden Eater slashed down, striking the Black Card directly... In an instant, a terrifying shockwave exploded between the two!
The entire Silver Hall shook violently instantly, and the floor inside the hall shattered in an instant.
Odin screamed in agony. This Black Card was real; otherwise, how could it have blocked the opponent's attack? Although it blocked the attack, the terrifying force still sent Odin's body flying!
Boom——! ! !
……
A figure was sent flying backwards from the Silver Hall in a very disheveled state!
While they were fighting fiercely with four new gods on the stairs, Radiance and Qin Chuyu were both stunned... That guy, didn't he just go in not long ago? How come he was sent flying out?
The sudden change left almost everyone dumbfounded, with no one knowing what had happened inside the silver palace.
The Valkyrie warriors rushed towards the direction Odin was flying backward... Protecting their master was also written in their souls.
However, at that moment, a loud noise suddenly erupted from the silver palace... the Silver Hall.
Then a gigantic golden axe appeared, cleaving open the Silver Hall. Before the eyes of onlookers, the axe, hundreds of meters long, split the Silver Hall in two!
But as expected of a treasure from the realm of Asgard, the throne of the god-king, this Golden Eater only managed to cut the Silver Hall in half!
"Owner!"
Several Valkyries in silver helmets who were closest managed to catch Odin, but they all coughed up blood in order to withstand the force emanating from him.
Seeing the Silver Hall cleaved open, Odin coughed up a mouthful of blood... When he was murdered and banished from the realm of the gods, he could take very little with him. The Silver Hall was his lifeline for a comeback!
"...This is too much...this is outrageous..."
He clearly already has the black card, doesn't he?
……
"This Kintoki..."
On the field, John silently watched Golden Eater's attack and instinctively covered his face.
"Is this guy really incapable of doing anything right?"
John cursed under his breath, then irritably ordered himself a Cabernet Sauvignon slime and immediately closed the betting function on [Z-coin].
Betting is real-time. The Silver Hall was suddenly torn open, and the betting trend began to change instantly... At this moment, John could only close the betting channel.
Because he didn't know what the final outcome would be for Kintoki... this guy hailed as the "most unpredictable Dark Souls Messenger in history"...
"He's a complete idiot!"
……
Inside the Silver Hall, looking at the palace that had been directly cleaved open, Kintoki, having finally vented his anger, let out a sigh of relief and hoisted the Golden Eater onto his shoulder—awesome!
Then, Kim Shi-in suddenly went numb.
"Kintoki... The [Black Card] is the [Shop's] proof of ownership. You really dare to cut prices like that."
Oh no, this is going to be lost!
...It's Yuya's voice!
