Chapter 956: Chapter 73 Divine Skills No Match for Heavenly Number_2

Half an hour later, the two goats turned golden brown and crispy, and the rich aroma of the meat spread far and wide, leaving Thor and Yemengarde by the side drooling in anticipation.

"It’s ready."

Following Luo En’s words, Thor and Yemengarde couldn’t wait to rush forward, each tearing off a goat leg as thick as a water bucket and devoured it without saying a word.

Seeing the joy of the man and cat eating so wholeheartedly, Luo En couldn’t help but tear off a strip of goat ribs and tasted the feast he had prepared.

The perfectly seasoned taste and the exceptionally fresh meat quality left Luo En, a connoisseur of fine foods, with nothing to criticize.

Indeed, the taste of these two goats was rather good; it might be worthwhile to try them a few more times, experimenting with different cooking methods.

In a daze, Luo En remembered that in Nordic Mythology, Loki often traveled together with Thor.

Could it be that he was also freeloading meals?

While Luo En was secretly ridiculing the thought, Thor, on the other hand, didn’t forget to remind him repeatedly while enjoying the feast:

"Only eat the meat; remember to leave the bones and skin for me."

Of course, Luo En kept this firmly in mind.

However, Yemengarde, starving half to death, wasn’t so easy to restrain his appetite.

Taking advantage of Thor’s distraction, Yemengarde opened his mouth wide, and from it, hundreds of crimson tentacles shot out, tightly entwining the remaining half of the roasted goat on the other side, dragging it with bones and skin into his mouth in one go.

The mouth seemed to be connected to a boundless pit of an alternate dimension, and in the blink of an eye, nearly half the mountain-sized roast goat vanished without a trace.

After finishing his meal, Yemengarde gave a satisfied burp and lazily lay down on the ground to digest.

Seeing this, Thor became livid, immediately rushing forward with an iron grip on the cat’s head, shaking it vigorously:

"Spit it out! Spit it out now, you damn cat!"

"Meow!"

Yemengarde let out a defiant mew, mouth tightly shut, seemingly unwilling to give up the bones he had eaten.

Seeing that a fight was about to ensue between this inherently clashing duo, Luo En rubbed his throbbing temple and sighed as he looked at Yemengarde, who refused to open his mouth:

"Do you want a feast for now, or feasts for a lifetime?"

At these words, Yemengarde began to seriously contemplate.

Ultimately, his rationality overcame his appetite, and he unwillingly opened his mouth, spitting out the shiny, saliva-washed bones.

Thor counted the bones and confirmed there were enough, then huffed and wrapped the two piles of bones in two goat hides, casually raising the Thunder God’s Hammer and smashing it to the ground.

Accompanied by the roaring thunderbolt hitting the two goat hides, the shriveled skins rapidly swelled up, and flesh filled in, quickly restoring the goats to their original form.

However, just as Thor was about to harness the two goats, he noticed that one of them, which had its bones swallowed by Yemengarde, was limping as it walked.

"You vile cat, I’ll end you!"

Thor, while shouting furiously, lifted his hammer and charged towards Yemengarde.

Yemengarde, feeling guilty, initially just dodged, but after taking several hits, it grew angry and roared at Thor, joining the fray to strike back.

Though, because of the Pain Sharing and the Harm Distribution, neither man nor cat dared to strike with lethal force, their escalating brawl still caused chaos, with sand flying and stones scattering everywhere, leaving a mess behind.

Luo En, appearing indifferent, sat comfortably in front of the fire, shaking his head helplessly.

In the original Nordic Mythology, Thor’s goats were indeed lame.

It was said that during one of Thor’s journeys to the Lower Realm with Loki, they spent a night in a farmer’s house. Moved by the farmer’s destitute home and his emaciated children, yet their warm hospitality, Thor decided to kill his goats and shared the meat with the farmer’s family. Although he repeatedly warned them not to break the bones or harm the hides, one of the farmer’s children, driven by extreme hunger, broke a leg bone of one goat to suck out the marrow. The next morning, when Thor resurrected the goats, he found one of them was lame and became furiously enraged, threatening to severely punish the farmer’s family. Eventually, Loki managed to calm Thor down, and Thor merely demanded that the farmer’s children serve him as compensation. Such "punishment" was tantamount to a reward for mere mortals.

Beyond that, Luo En also remembered another story.

Once, Thor went fishing with the giant Himil out to sea. To demonstrate his strength to Himil, Thor steered the boat far offshore and used a giant ox’s head as bait, casting it into the deep sea to lure the mighty serpent Yemengarde to bite. After that, he wrestled with the ox-headed serpent with all his strength, and succeeded in pulling the serpent above the water surface. Surging onto the sea surface, the serpent Yemengarde was both startled and enraged, continuously releasing poison and serpent blood, straining against the ox, wrestling with Thor, even damaging the boat where Thor stood firm. At this moment, Thor picked up the Thunder God’s Hammer Mjolnir, aiming to strike the serpent’s head, but the giant Himil, out of fear, cut the line, resulting in Yemengarde plunging back into the ocean. From then on, the enmity between Thor and the serpent escalated, ultimately leading both god and serpent to mutual destruction during Ragnarök.

Feeding Yemengarde with the giant’s offering... the Goat’s unexpected limping... wrestling with the serpent...

This strong sense of déjà vu, evidently blending two of Thor’s adventures together.

Indeed, no matter how hard you try to prevent it, no matter how exalted your status, no matter how great the Authority you possess, things that are fated to happen will always occur.

Even if the method is different, the timing is different, and outcomes vary, the general direction is unlikely to be easily altered.

The so-called "Divine Skills cannot defy the Heavenly Number" is probably just so.

Magic and Martial Arts, which can be obtained through later learning, are powers that ordinary people can more easily acquire, thus having a minimal impact on Fate;

Authority and Divinity, requiring innate Bloodline and heavenly Fate as a foundation, share the same essence as the "Divine Skills" mentioned in the East, often only possessed by the Deities.

But just as that Eastern sentiment goes, even Deities who wield Authority cannot easily shake Fate, breaking free from the cycle of destiny.

It seems, to transcend the calculations of the "Heavenly Number", one must grasp the pulse of "Fate", or rather take the "Fate" of the World into one’s own hands.

Luo En’s eyes flashed resolutely.

After handling the affairs of the Netherworld, it might be best to meet with the Three Fates of Nordic.

Perhaps more interaction with them could yield different gains.

Just as Luo En was deep in thought, the inescapable Yemengarde leaped onto his head.

And the next moment.

"Bang!"

The onrushing Thunder God’s Hammer Mjolnir smashed heavily onto his forehead, an eye-dazzling cascade of silver-blue Thunderbolts exploding, leaving his scalp tingling with numbness, each hair standing on end, and the ground beneath turned into a hundred-meter-deep crater.

Yemengarde, who was chosen as the target, scampered away the instant Thor threw the Thunder Hammer.

"Cough cough~~"

Luo En coughed a few times, exhaling a string of bluish-black smoke rings.

He propped himself up with his arms, rising from the extinguished campfire, and looked towards a man and a cat nearby with a brilliant smile, inquiring with an exceedingly gentle voice:

"Had enough?"

"Enough, absolutely enough!"

Thor and Yemengarde nodded rapidly like pecking chickens, feeling an inexplicable chill sweep through them, instinctively backing away.

"That’s good to know."

Luo En nodded with a smile, seeming quite pleased, then slowly began,

"You’ve had your chance, now isn’t it my turn?"

Run!

Almost simultaneously, Yemengarde and Thor turned and bolted.

Luo En sneered, as twelve streams of light behind him converged into one, and he gradually drew out the Flame Demon Sword Leivatin inch by inch from the Magic Circle Diagram, the Blade of Tribulation Fire that could burn all things fell, pounding the fleeing culprits into the ground like whack-a-mole.

Although using the flat of the blade, the adhering magic flames effortlessly melted through Thor’s and Yemengarde’s Divine Power shields, scorching their heads and sending up wisps of blue smoke.

Amidst the anguished cries of the man and cat, Luo En lifted the Flame Demon Sword Leivatin, marching forward with a menacing laugh, his joints popping with a series of crisp sounds that grated on the nerves.

The night was still young, just the right time to enhance the relationship with his half-brother from another father, and the rebel from another Realm!
