The Greece Antagonist-Chapter 809 - 16 Peril, Loki in Danger_2

Chapter 809: Chapter 16 Peril, Loki in Danger!_2 Chapter 809: Chapter 16 Peril, Loki in Danger!_2 Luo En stood on the scorched snow, pulling out the Fiery Flame Demon Sword embedded in a deep pit, and turned to look behind him.

Was there another master?

At this moment, a giant with frosty blue skin and an ancient-looking face stood tall in the distant snow, one hand resting on Saki’s shoulder, as an obscure aura pulsed around them.

And the formidable Mountain Giant King stood with trembling hands, gasping heavily, forehead drenched in cold sweat, looking utterly petrified, seemingly quite frightened.

Clearly, it was this mysterious Frost Giant who had intervened at the critical moment to save Saki.

After a while, Saki, having collected his scattered wits, respectfully bowed to the Frost Giant beside him:

“Lord, you’ve come…”

Despite the awkwardness in his voice, there was an indescribable sense of fear.

...

Seeing this, Luo En’s expression turned solemn.

According to the giant’s belief that strength was paramount, the Frost Giant who could make the Mountain Giant King Saki behave in such a manner was definitely no ordinary character.

Moreover, despite his perception, Luo En had not noticed when the other party had arrived at the scene or when he had intervened.

This was a very terrifying matter.

Luo En narrowed his eyes, a smile of great affinity spreading across his face:

“Who might you be?”

“The temporary administrator of Jotunheim, king of the Frost Giants of the present.”

The mysterious newcomer replied with a smile, sizing up Luo En thoroughly, his profound, abyssal eyes taking on a deeply meaningful hue.

“You may refer to me as—Utgard Loki…”

Hearing this familiar pronunciation, Luo En maintained his composure on the surface, while his wariness peaked internally.

This was a character from the Nordic Mythological Epic “Edda,” whose identity and demonstrated Authority were both shrouded in mystery.

Legend has it, after the Thunder God Thor was born into the Asa Divine Race, possessing Divine Power and Authority even greater than Odin’s, and after acquiring Mjolnir, the Hammer of the Thunder God, he considered himself invincible. Thus, he set off with his uncle Loki and his servants Shiya Fe and Roskva to venture into Jotunheim, seeking trouble with the Giants.

They first arrived at a vast forest, traveling through it until the night fell; the four found a place to spend the night. After enduring a night of earthquakes—quakes that terrified everyone except Thor, who clutched the Divine Hammer—by the light of day, they realized they had been in the great hand of a giant named Skrymir, whose snoring had caused the tremors all night.

Outraged, Thor attempted to throw his Thunder God’s Hammer to kill the sleeping giant, but each time it would miss, and the giant would wake up. After the third time, Skrymir gave them a suggestion: if they wished to demonstrate their pride and arrogance, they should visit the Etegar Castle deep in Jotunheim; then the giant disappeared into the forest.

In actuality, the giant Skrymir was none other than Utgard Loki, who had known beforehand of Thor’s impending arrival and lay in wait in the forest, hoping his unfathomable strength would cause the provoking Thor and company to back down.

But the hot-headed Thor would not concede easily. He led the remaining three deeper into Jotunheim and, after slaying Giants along the way, arrived at a massive castle in an open area. Inside, the legendary giant Utgard Loki sat in the parlor waiting.

Utgard Loki declared that unless the guests could perform a feat of strength, they were not worthy of lodging in the castle. The proud Thor could not stand the challenge and decisively led the others to accept it.

However, after two unsuccessful contests, the Asa Deities were soundly defeated.

For Utgard Loki’s challengers were insurmountable enemies, such as Loki and the Incarnation of Wildfire “Loji” in an eating contest, and Shiya Fe racing and archery against the Incarnation of Thought “Shuji,” the outcome was self-evident.

Unable to endure it any longer, Thor himself stepped forward to show off his strength, while Utgard Loki challenged him to drink greatly, lift a grey cat, and wrestle the old woman Eili to prove his might.

Undoubtedly, Thor failed all three attempts, eventually losing all face.

In reality, the drinking horn he used was connected to the ocean, so naturally, Thor could not drain the seas dry;

the grey cat was transformed from the Earthly Giant Python Yemengarde, with the strength to support the entire Midgard World, Thor could only lift one of the cat’s front paws;

As for Eili, she was an Incarnation of old age, an immovable force for the Asa the gods, as she would always come regardless, and even the Youth Apples of the Goddess of Youth Eden could only delay the inevitable—the deities could not escape the fate of aging.

Having endured successive blows to his pride, Thor finally learned to temper his arrogance, no longer boasting of his ability to wipe out all Giants with his own power.

The potential cataclysm in Jotunheim thus dissipated into nothingness.

And from that point on, until the twilight of the gods, the mysterious Utgard Loki did not appear again, as if his existence was for the sole purpose of fulfilling a mission.

Utgard Loki…

The meaning of this name was actually “Loki beyond the Realm,” seemingly created due to the namesake, prefixed to differentiate him from a certain God of Tricks Loki of the Asa Divine Race.

But in reality, it was a hint.

A hint that he had long penetrated the identity and origins of a certain god from beyond their realm.

Luo En gazed at the mysterious giant before him, a cold smirk forming in his heart.

If the other could see through him, wasn’t he also able to see through the other?
