Odin is now weakened to the point of dying, not only because he was severely injured in the twilight of the gods, but more importantly, he sat on the Iron Throne for a full twenty-three centuries after being seriously injured—not only did he not rest On the contrary, his physical strength and energy were continuously drawn by the starship shield.
The spaceship shield itself is powered by the shipboard reactor, but since the spaceship control system is offline, Odin cannot seize control, so he needs to input an extra energy for the shield from the outside to control the entire defense system. And that extra energy is now nearly killing him.
Even Odin himself probably never thought that one day he would sit on such a throne and almost pay the price of his life for sheltering those "vulgar, weak, and ignorant native creatures".
"Maintaining the shield is a very difficult task," Odin's voice echoed around, while his body was still sealed in the crystal. Under the reflection of the energy light flow, his whole body seemed to be shrouded in a shimmering light. "But I feel like I should do something - human beings have worshiped 'gods' for thousands of years, even after Ragnarok, but the gods they worship are actually not much nobler than them... A sense of responsibility makes me sit here , and resisted the idea of giving up several times."
"I have seen real gods," Vivienne said directly in her heart, "the gods who can really manage the whole world—you have never been gods, and there is too much difference at all. But to be honest, you are dying here. At last, you finally did something God should do."
"The purpose of our coming here is for this ship..." Hao Ren looked at the huge shadow under the Iron Throne, "but now it seems that before we can drive this ship away, we must first complete the resettlement of the Twilight City. Tsk … We need an internal meeting."
Hao Ren already had a few vague ideas in his mind, but these ideas were far from mature plans. He felt that he should call his two seniors over. Galazore and Anthony had worked as censors for thousands of years, and they might have better suggestions.
At this moment, a burst of human voices suddenly came from outside the hall.
"Your friends have arrived." Odin said.
A moment later, the main door of the hall was pushed open from the outside, and the caretaker Angelica and the light-seeker Wendell walked in, followed by a large group of people - Y'zaks' big bald head was in the Especially shining in the crowd. As soon as Lily entered the door, she rushed to Hao Ren's side excitedly and circled vigorously: "The landlord, the landlord, the landlord..."
Hao Ren took out a bone stick from his pocket and stuffed it into the husky girl's mouth: "What's wrong, it's like taking the wrong medicine..."
"The fight just now was more exciting, and the spirit was more uplifting," Izaks said with a smile while crossing his arms, "there is nothing going on up there, it is said that some messenger went to the Steam Council, and I don't know what they are busy with internally." , anyway, no one cares now, Galazhuoer brought us down."
At this time, Lily had circled around Hao Ren for about thirty laps, and finally calmed down a bit. While gnawing on her bones, she looked curiously at the huge hollow under the transparent ground: "What is this?"
Galazore came to the Iron Throne: "This is the Old Sage of the Twilight City?"
Hao Ren smiled: "Let me explain to you..."
It didn't take long to briefly introduce the situation, and soon everyone understood all the secrets of this twilight city. They couldn't help being surprised by the truth of the twilight barrier, and at the same time, they were also amazed by the "Old Sage" - Odin's feat Deeply shocked. Galazore and Anthony checked around the Iron Throne, and then Anthony began to arrange a simple magic circle next to the throne. His movements were dazzling, and almost in the blink of an eye, a flashing formation appeared in the air, and at the same time, dozens of streams of light were connected to the pipes and cables around the throne.
Odin stared blankly—well, in fact, his expression didn’t change, but it’s more vivid—looking at Anthony’s actions, he knew that the group of strangers in front of him should be invited by Vivienne to help, but He didn't know what Anthony was doing: "What is this?"
"Install a virtual machine for you," said the old mage while patting the dust off his body, "do you feel better now?"
Only then did Odin realize that those magical arrays that he had never seen had miraculously deflected the connection between the Iron Throne and the Twilight Barrier, and the exhaustion and stimulation that had never disappeared in twenty-three centuries had penetrated deep into his soul. The pain subsided unknowingly. This torture lasted so long that Odin had completely adapted to their existence, and when they suddenly disappeared, Odin's battered nerves didn't even react at all.
"What did you do..." The former king of the Nordic gods was astonished like an ordinary person seeing magic for the first time, "The energy of the twilight barrier is terrible, how can you use such a simple set of runes …a rune that doesn’t even have a body, give its energy to…”
"This energy is indeed terrifying, but the BUFF that our boss randomly added to people after drinking high is much more terrifying than this." Anthony stroked his beard proudly, "After deflecting the energy, your body and soul will not continue to deteriorate. Yes, but we can only maintain the status quo, and we will use specialized medical equipment to restore your health. But now... you can leave this throne."
Odin: "..."
Anthony stroked his beard again: "Eh, I said you can leave this throne."
Odin: "...I think..."
"Please don't worry," Anthony said with a calm and reliable smile on his face. Although he has many eccentricities, the old mage still shows the bearing he is known as the "Great Sage" at this moment, "I can assure you After leaving, the Twilight Barrier can still operate stably, do you have anything else to say?"
Odin was silent for a few seconds, and finally said: "Come and lift me down."
Everyone: "..."
Hao Ren slapped his face with a slap at the time: "Why do I always feel that something is wrong..."
Galazore took a closer look at Odin's situation, and waved to Anthony: "Then let's not get him off it rashly. I found that his body has been connected to these pipes and cables and even to this chair." Once we've grown together, you can just cut off his connection with the Twilight Barrier, and we'll talk about the rest after the professional equipment is in place."
"Then it's wrong for you to stay here for a while longer," Hao Ren nodded to Odin, and then turned to the others, "Then let's discuss how to deal with the problem of Twilight City. The barrier above the city now It relies on the spaceship below for power supply, for the sake of safety, I suggest to solve the security issue of Twilight City first."
"Two options," Galazore said without hesitation, "The first is to evacuate everyone in the Twilight City. The current position of Ugudora Hill is in the Chadaner civilization circle. Anthony should be able to organize enough The transportation capacity transfers these millions of people, but in this way, the city is tantamount to being abandoned. To be honest, this is a precious "specimen of abnormal civilization development", and it is a pity to let the mana storm destroy it. The second plan is that we build another layer of shield outside the twilight barrier, and then start the exploration of the ancient starship, so that even if something goes wrong during the exploration process and the twilight barrier goes out, there will be no major problems, but There is also a downside to this solution: building a city-scale shield would be labor-intensive."
Hao Ren waved his hand: "And there is a more important question: Ugudora Hill. We must choose the plan that stimulates the weakest to Ugudora Hill, otherwise this ancient creature may wake up at any time. A creature like the eldest son, Once he wakes up, he dares to do anything."
Anthony spread his hands: "Whether it is a million-scale population transfer, or the construction of another twilight barrier, I think it will be a certain stimulus to Ugudora Hill. The key now is that we don't know the identity of this 'eldest son'." What is the level of mental stability, without a clear quantitative index, who knows how much stimulation is safe stimulation?"
The three inspectors on Hao Ren's side started a professional discussion, and each took out their data terminals to calculate the difficulty and time required for implementing various plans. While they were discussing, Odin suddenly said: " You mentioned...Ygurdora Hill?"
"That's right, World Tree," Hao Ren said without raising his head, "Actually, your name is wrong, its scientific name should be 'Eldest Son', or 'Eldest Son of God', it is a very powerful ancient Biological, he is currently in a deep sleep, but we have ample evidence that his mental state is very unstable."
Odin thought for a while: "I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?" (To be continued~^~)
