The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 1008 - 92 So, shall we pray?_2

At this moment, a fully-armed Valkyrie squad is tightly securing the area nearby to prevent outsiders from causing disturbances.

"There’s no helping it, who can blame them when Lord Loki’s fame is so renowned in the Immortal Palace? The whole of Asgard is now filled with your devotees."

Freya spread her hands, her face a mask of helplessness, but her tone tinged with a hint of teasing,

"You hadn’t even returned when you caused Odin to break Poetry God Bragi’s two legs, and he still can’t get out of bed; Guardian God Heimdall and War God Tyr were implicated and banished to stabilize the chunks of Chaos at the borders of the Immortal Palace; afterwards, you teamed up with Thor to beat up Black Dragon King Nidhogg, subdued Death God Hela, and came back from the Netherworld unscathed; on the way, you also wreaked havoc in Giant Country’s Land of Chaos and Etheregar City, leaving one Frost Giant King dead and another injured... Tsk tsk, with such fierce exploits, who in the Immortal Palace wouldn’t kneel to offer you a toast? If I hadn’t come here to block the news, you probably wouldn’t even be able to leave the transit station’s gate tonight."

The more Luo En listened, the darker his expression became:

"How did the Immortal Palace come to know of these things?"

"Take a guess?"

"It couldn’t be Thor, could it?"

"Indeed, you truly can’t hide anything from you."

Freya pursed her lips and smiled playfully as she explained,

"He admires you greatly, claiming you are the bravest warrior in the Immortal Palace, and said he has become sworn Blood Alliance brothers with you on the road."

"And then?"

"He got a beating from Odin and still hasn’t managed to crawl out of bed."

"..."

Luo En helplessly massaged his forehead, deeply worried about the fluctuating intelligence of his "brother" obtained at a bargain.

Meanwhile, Slude, who was nearby, also felt ashamed due to his unreliable father.

To alleviate the somewhat awkward atmosphere, Luo En looked around and asked:

"What about Odin? Isn’t he here?"

"The Father God was invited to Etheregar City two days ago."

"By Lafei?"

"Yes, after you and Thor caused a commotion in Giant Country, you frightened the Frost Giants. They can’t beat you, so of course, they’d want to sue for peace as quickly as possible."

Seeing Freya’s teasing smile, Luo En’s expression became even more wry:

"Alright then, let’s head back to the palace first. Once I’ve dealt with matters at hand and Odin comes back, I’ll visit him specially."

Eden, who had said nothing throughout the exchange, finally couldn’t hold back and gathered the courage to approach, stammering as she began to speak:

"Lord Loki, I... I... I would like to..."

However, due to her overly soft personality, the more she tried to voice her request, the more nervous and stuttered she became until she was nearly choked up with tears.

Luo En couldn’t help but chuckle, raising a hand to pat Eden’s little head and spoke softly:

"I’ve already returned, so for the time being, the Eternal Garden doesn’t need your care. I grant you a few days off to visit Turin City."

"Yes!"

Eden nodded vigorously, the excitement and thrill in her heart written all over her face.

Clearly, this was what she wanted to say. This girl is still the same as before, unable to hide any of her thoughts - adorable and timid, combined with the Dwarf’s eternal petite stature, she’s practically born to be the embodiment of a soft and cute loli.

Luo En shook his head with a silent chuckle, watching the eternal little loli Eden hurry into the still-open teleportation circle.

With everything arranged, Freya then waved her hand and commanded the accompanying Valkyrie Corps to clear the way.

A group of fully-armed Valkyries escorted their commander who had returned after a thousand years and marched mightily towards the Fire God Temple.

Once they entered the hall and there were no outsiders, Freya took interest in eying the three fresh faces following behind Luo En:

"Who are they?"

"My three newly recruited Valkyries..."

Before Luo En could finish, the impatient Scouty squeezed forward, sizing up Freya with no shred of politeness and huffed:

"Hey, so you’re the current head of the Valkyrie Corps, huh? Doesn’t look like much. I’ll be taking over your job soon..."

"Bang!"

Before she could finish her sentence, a righteous iron fist slammed down onto Scouty’s head.

Urd squeezed out a smile and apologized for her sister’s rude words:

"Sorry about the child’s nonsense."

Belldandy, on the other hand, covered Scouty’s mouth to prevent the troublemaker from causing more chaos.

However, the words had been spoken and Freya was not the type to be easily fooled. She turned to look at Luo En with a smile that was not quite a smile:

"You seem to have found yourself three remarkable helpers?"

"Ahem, these three have just joined and they still don’t understand much, don’t stoop to a child’s level."

"I’m not a child! Your whole family are children!"

Enraged by the taboo word, Scouty’s fur bristled as she struggled to break free from her elder sister Belldandy’s embrace and began to angrily protest:

"Didn’t you promise that if I joined the Valkyrie Corps, I could be the boss? Are you reneging on that? Liar! Big liar!"

Seeing that not even three people’s efforts could keep her silent, Luo En, Urd, and Belldandy exchanged a glance, feeling mutually exhausted by the unruly child, as if they were co-parents worn out by the same troublesome kid, and their distance seemed to close unknowingly.

And with Scouty still making a fuss, Luo En had to pull the rebellious Fate Goddess aside and whisper:

"It’s not that you can’t be in charge, it’s just not the right time yet. To lead the Valkyries, you have to win their respect, you know what it means to win respect, right?"

Scouty blinked and said, "Beat everyone who doesn’t agree into submission?"

"Uh, that’s one way...," after a brief hesitation, Luo En mused, "but to make them admit defeat willingly, you have to follow the rules of the Valkyrie Corps and challenge them one rank at a time. I remember there are nine Valkyrie Captains, and you’ve only defeated three?"
