Chapter 810: Chapter 16 Peril, Loki in Danger!_3 Chapter 810: Chapter 16 Peril, Loki in Danger!_3 “Being able to transform various abstract concepts, such as ‘wildfire,’ ‘thought,’ and ‘age,’ into physical forms in epics, and to compete with Thor and his companions;
Commanding the World Snake Yemengarde to turn into a gray cat, linking the ocean to wine and the drinking horn;
And recognizing Luo En for his superior insight as a god from another realm…
Given all these signs, the identity of the giant before him seemed all but obvious.
—The Time Giant, Orlog!
He was the master of all things, the eternal law of the universe, the fate without beginning or end. At the beginning when there was neither heaven nor earth, nor air, and everything was gestated in darkness, invisible, unknown from whence it came, Orlog had already dominated all, and all the stories of the Nine Realms, both lamentable and laudable, were under his strokes. The Norn three goddesses who deciphered fate were an extension of his will.
Indeed, in the entire Nordic World, only such a being could possess such immense power.
The mysterious giant opposite radiated an opacity and danger that Luo En had never even felt when facing Divine King Odin.
Besides all this, there was another way to verify the identity of the individual before him.
Odin had once engraved the 24 Big Runes that he comprehended from the World Tree onto a Golden Shield, which he handed over to the Norn three goddesses.
However, as giants, Scadi and Saki were also able to master the Lun Runes, which they most likely learned from the Norn three goddesses and the Time Giant, Orlog.
This was also why Saki, the king of the Mountain Giants, held such respect for Utgard Loki, known as ‘the King of the Frost Giants.’
Unexpectedly, the [Heavenly Destiny] of the Nordic had personally entered the fray.
Could it be, that he intended to lead the Giant Clan to initiate Ragnarök ahead of time?
Luo En narrowed his eyes, looking deeply at the Time Giant Orlog, who was disguised as Utgard Loki, and cautiously asked:
“You’re not staying in Jotunheim, could it be that you also aspire to ascend to Asgard, to take the role of the Divine King?”
“I have no interest in the position of Divine King.”
Orlog shook his head with a smile, his gaze deep and meaningful as it landed on Luo En,
“Rather, it’s you I find interesting. I’ve heard you’ve been quite active in Asgard, many giants who attacked the Immortal Palace died by your hand.”
On hearing this, Luo En immediately tensed up.
Indeed, this old fellow wasn’t targeting Odin but was fixated on him, a god from another realm.
Realizing the danger, Luo En’s eyes flickered, his face forcing a dry laugh:
“So it was for this matter? If only you had mentioned it sooner, there wouldn’t have been a need for such a grand display. They struck first; I was merely defending myself! How about this, you order the giants to retreat first. Once I’ve sorted out the affairs inside the Asa Clan, I will definitely visit you in Jotunheim personally, so we can properly discuss a future of coexistence between our two races.”
Orlog smiled, exposing the lie of the God of Tricks, then shifted the conversation teasingly,
“But I heard you call yourself the son of the giant Lafei, a descendant of the Frost Giants?”
“Haha, yes, we’re all one family. Although my parents perished long ago in the Great Flood, I’ve always remembered the bloodline within me and have dedicated myself to the peaceful coexistence between our two races.”
Luo En laughed dryly, deflecting blame onto the Great Flood caused by the Ancestor Giant, Ymir, effectively erasing his nonexistent parents.
Orlog’s smile grew warmer:
“Since we’re family, how about you return to Jotunheim? Although your parents are gone, as the king of the Frost Giants, I can also be your parent and elder. When I abdicate, the entirety of Jotunheim will belong to you. At that time, once you ascend to the throne of Jotunheim, if you wish to reconcile with the Asa Divine Race and allow the Nine Great Kingdoms to coexist, it’s all up to you.”
However, hearing such generous terms, Luo En felt far from moved, instead cursing inwardly.
This wasn’t adoption; it was clearly forcing him to bow to destiny.
Once he agreed, he would likely become Loki from the original mythology, following a predestined path, thoroughly becoming a part of the Nordic God Era, his divinity and Divine Nature absorbed by the Nordic destiny.
But an outright refusal might lead to an even worse outcome, especially since this was the [Heavenly Destiny] of the Nordic World and on the opponent’s turf, he might not be able to win by strength alone.
Luo En’s eyes darted around, plotting a plan.
