The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 788 - 7 Lies Dont Hurt; Its the Truth That Cuts Like a Knif
Chapter 788: Chapter 7: Lies Don’t Hurt; It’s the Truth That Cuts Like a Knife_3 Chapter 788: Chapter 7: Lies Don’t Hurt; It’s the Truth That Cuts Like a Knife_3 Three immense roots spread from the Immortal Palace to the Giant Kingdom, and finally deep into the Mist Country, linking the Nine Great Kingdoms into a single entity. Three Holy Springs flowing around the tree roots carried the power of the World Laws to the World Tree, where it was then decomposed, absorbed, and transmitted to the Nine Great Kingdoms, collectively constructing a perfect energy circulation system.
Beneath the bark, among the leaves, and within the roots, Odin faintly saw obscure and profound characters acting as nodes in the energy cycle.
In an instant, he realized that this was the recording tool mentioned by the Norn sisters.
But the excitement came quickly and left just as swiftly.
Because no matter how he observed, he could never clearly see the traces and forms of those characters.
As if, still, a layer of hazy fog covered his vision, preventing him from glimpsing the mysteries of the entire world.
Not enough!
...
The price paid to grasp this mystery was still not enough!
A look of resolution quickly flowed through Odin’s single eye, and soon he left the Wisdom Giant Mimir behind in Jotunheim, coming to Midgard World.
At that time, Luo En, who was teaching mortals how to create fire by the seaside, heard the news and hurried over. Seeing Odin’s empty right eye, Luo En’s gaze sharpened,
“Your eye…”
“It doesn’t matter!”
Odin waved his hand, his bloodstained face showing an abnormal excitement.
“Loki, you came at just the right time! I need to conduct a sacrifice now. You, as my protector, stop any external interference for me!”
Upon hearing this, Luo En looked at the one-eyed Odin and the World Tree behind him, immediately understanding his purpose, and could not help but speak,
“Do we have to do this?”
“Yes!”
Odin laughed in response, his gaze deep.
“To create the world requires a magnificent sacrifice, and so it is to obtain it!”
Hearing the determination in those words, Luo En sighed, no longer attempting to stop him, and silently began to set up a defensive barrier around the World Tree.
Free from concerns, Odin also came before the main trunk of the World Tree in Midgard World, manipulated the branches to hang himself upside down from the trunk, and then raised his hand to take out the Eternal Spear Gungnir, which the Dwarf clan had forged for him with all their might, and forcefully stabbed it into his own abdomen.
“Pu~”
Golden-red Divine Blood gushed from the ferocious wound in Odin’s abdomen, sprinkling like rainwater among the tree trunk, branches, and roots of the World Tree.
At this moment, using the World Tree as a sacrificial altar and Odin as the offering, he sacrificed himself to himself, trading this act of self-sacrifice for power over the World Tree and laying the foundation for the Asa Divine Business!
Naturally, as the pillar connecting the Nine Great Kingdoms, the World Tree would not easily submit to anyone. The vast internal power continuously resisted the corrosion of Odin’s Divine Blood, causing the King of the Gods hanging from the trunk to gradually become scarred.
But Odin was not disheartened, nor did he abandon his efforts, enduring the piercing, bone-corroding pain, treating the World Tree like a wild, unruly horse to be tamed.
During this process, the World Tree’s branches shook occasionally, winds howled, and thunder and lightning roared, with Odin hanging there like an old, ragged doll swaying left and right.
Golden-red Divine Blood continuously flowed from Odin’s wounds, his life slowly ebbing away within him.
After enduring nine days and nights of agony, at the edge of death, Odin hazily saw his blood, that had fallen to the ground, transform into sacred characters, numbering twenty-four in total, seemingly containing boundless power and mystery.
He had obtained them, at last!
The Lun Runes!
Odin opened his tired eyes, ecstatically engraving these Holy Runes he had acquired through his sacrifice on a Golden Shield, imprinting them firmly into his memory.
“Pu!”
At the same time, a streak of flame light swept by, cutting off the vines entwining Odin, rescuing the scarred King of the Gods from being hung upside down.
And just after landing, Odin refused Luo En’s support and, leaving a quick instruction, hurriedly opened the Rainbow Bridge,
“Loki, guard this place well, I’ll return soon! Asa will soon prosper under my hands!”
Watching the figure vanish in the streaming light, Luo En’s gaze gradually grew complex.
Many times, lies do not hurt people; it’s the truth that cuts sharply.
And the answers he stubbornly sought now may not align with his original expectations.
~~
Meanwhile, back at the Immortal Palace, Odin felt a wave of dizziness.
Although he had drunk the Wisdom Spring Water, obtaining boundless knowledge and wisdom, he had forever lost his right eye, the wound continuously aching faintly.
Although he had tamed the World Tree, grasping the twenty-four Lun Runes that concerned the operation of the world, he had depleted a great amount of his Divine Blood, and his once strong body had become extremely weak…
Thus, with every step, he had to endure intense pain and a constant feeling of weakness.
Yet even so, Odin’s determination never wavered, decisively stepping into the light-rippling trunk of the World Tree, his tired yet exuberant voice echoing in the waters,
“I have brought the recording tool. Honorable Norn sisters, please grant me the destiny that will lead the Asa Divine Race to prosperity!”
The eldest sister, Urd, took the Golden Shield engraved with the twenty-four Lun Runes from Odin’s hands, waving lightly.
The Holy Spring water, possessing sacred power, cleansed Odin’s entire body, healing his wounds and removing the blood and fatigue.
And having regained his strength and vigor, Odin did not forget his original purpose and eagerly asked,
“Where is the destiny decree I requested?”
The Norn sisters looked at each other, cast the Golden Shield into the Holy Spring, and sighed softly,
“Look, this is the answer you seek.”
Odin, upon hearing this, widened his single eye in delight and looked towards the spring water.

He saw the Asa Divine Race rising from flames, flourishing in thunder, advancing toward the pinnacle in light, the entire Nine Great Kingdoms submitting under the majesty of Asgard, collectively forging the brilliance of the Asa Divine Business.
But soon, Odin’s smile froze on his face.
For the brilliance was fleeting, a fiery blaze split the world, severing everything, dragging all into an eternal darkness.
That was the Twilight of the Gods, the end of Fate!
