Stupid Odin

“Ooh! Ooh! Ooh! Hail to the God-King!”

The gods and giants raised their arms together, their wild and enthusiastic cheers soaring into the sky!

This is too awesome!

Their own God-King had successively killed the two progenitor giants, Ymir and Surtur. This time, the Aesir's ruling position in this world would be unshakable!

What welled up in their hearts was not only a strong sense of identity, but also a mysterious palpitation resonating with the heavens and earth.

The cheers subsided, and one after another, they raised their heads and looked around.

This world, which had been incredibly intense just moments before, filled with turbulent flows from the clash of ice and fire, suddenly became quiet.

The wild winds no longer danced erratically, the lava was no longer scorching hot, and a mysterious force from the sky poured down, making this world tranquil and silent.

The entire Ginnungagap world seemed to calm down, obediently and sincerely prostrating itself at the feet of the God-King, Downs.

Downs opened his eyes wide and looked around, the divine light emitted from his deep pupils already exceeding the spatial limitations of heaven and earth.

Just as he was estimating how to use this new space opened up from chaos, all beings faintly felt the laws of the world changing at this moment.

Something familiar to them was leaving under the decrees of the world's will, and it seemed as if some new law was about to descend.

Everyone only marveled at the greatness of His Majesty the God-King, realizing that he was about to display supreme divine power, lead the reshaping of the world, and take over the formulation of laws.

Feeling everyone's adoring and awe-filled gazes, Downs couldn't help but sigh. Some things require choosing the right path at countless crossroads of fate in order to reach this point.

The favor of the world's will is not something everyone can bear.

Moreover, what he was about to do next was something he wouldn't be able to do even if his strength was a hundred times, a thousand times greater in the future. Because reshaping the world is something that can only be done during the rapid expansion phase of a world. After reshaping, the world, having reached its peak volume, will tend to stabilize, and eventually, until the world is destroyed and dies, there will be no more reshaping.

Even for most God-Kings, this is something they can only do once in their lifetime.

Downs didn't mind taking this opportunity to build the world into a better place once and for all.

Under the temporary blessing of the power of the world, his size grew larger and larger, taller and taller, instantly reaching a hundred meters in height.

At his feet, the gods and giants subconsciously knelt down, lowering their proud heads. Originally, in this fiery land, countless small fire element creatures were fleeing in all directions, intimidated by Downs's power. As Downs lowered his gaze, they dared not move anymore, and followed suit, prostrating themselves at the feet of this Aesir God-King.

A sacredness that all beings felt unfamiliar descended from the sky. The gods and giants were in a trance for a moment, feeling as if they were in a huge, magnificent temple with a dome thousands of meters high. Downs's already tall and majestic figure further rose, transforming into the first giant in the universe, gazing at them with a profound gaze.

Downs raised his hands high in high spirits and spoke.

His voice resonated with this world, and his deep, magnetic voice echoed between heaven and earth.

“Entrusted by the world, I am about to reshape this world. You may tell me what visions you have.”

“I shall listen—”

“I shall discern—”

“I shall fulfill—”

The grand voice spread to every corner of the world, causing every large and powerful heart to beat faster uncontrollably.

That sacredness carried supreme majesty, and for a time, even the gods felt a little breathless, let alone the giants.

Silence reigned for several seconds, with no one daring to speak, each looking at the other.

Paul was the first to raise his head, and said loudly: “Great Aesir God-King! The world we live in is too dark and empty. We long for a new home illuminated by light!”

What Paul said was the truth. Ever since the Aesir progenitor Búri was licked out of the ice by the great cow Auðumbla, their clan had lived in a dark, frozen world.

Perhaps the frost giants felt very close to it, but the Aesir's longing for sunlight in the depths of their souls had never been extinguished. In the past, there was no opportunity, but now it was rare for their son to ascend to the God-King and control the power to reshape the heavens and earth. It was truly a case of use it or lose it.

Faced with his father's request, Downs gently raised his hand. The garden-like divine kingdom he imagined in his heart, with spring all year round and beautiful flowers and plants everywhere, appeared in the sky as a mirage through the transmission of the world's will.

“Wow—”

That magnificent palace, that lush and elegant courtyard, immediately firmly grabbed the hearts of all the gods.

Paul's old face couldn't help but twitch, and he instinctively praised: “It's so beautiful. How about calling this place [Asgard]?”

Downs was speechless in his heart.

This name may sound very grand to outsiders, but in reality, Asgard simply means 'garden courtyard' in the Aesir language. This kind of super tasteless literal translation can only be said to be very in line with these divine barbarians of the Aesir.

Unwilling to violate his old father's wishes, and also worried that too many changes to fate would trigger the world's backlash, Downs pretended to be aloof and used a single word as an endorsement:

“Approved!”

With the first, there would be a second.

The giantess Grid plucked up her courage and asked: “Palaces may not be very suitable for giants. Can we giants have our own home?”

Downs nodded to this giantess with amazing qualities, who was likely to be pregnant with a fourth-generation god, and waved his hand again.

He pointed to the void in the east below the Asgard divine realm, and a vast area covered with ice and snow suddenly appeared out of thin air. This place was very similar to the land of ice and snow before the Great Flood.

Unsurprisingly, this place naturally received unanimous cheers from the giants.

“Then how about calling this place [Jötunheimr]?”

Still that virtue. Jötun means 'giant', 'heimr' means home, and together it means 'home of the giants'.

This naming method is simple, crude, and lacks connotation!

The giants were incredibly happy.

Downs barely suppressed the urge to roll his eyes, and said again: “Approved!”

The third to step forward was Bestla: “Can Jötunheimr be larger? Because there may still be survivors among the giants, and not every male frost giant is against the Aesir.”

Mother includes Laufey's husband, as well as other neutral giants. At this moment, she still didn't know that those who survived the Great Flood included her brother, the [Wise Giant] Mímir of later generations. And their father was a direct descendant of Ymir—Bölþorn.

“Approved!”

In the mirage, the area of Jötunheimr expanded a bit.

Odin finally couldn't help but step forward: “I hope there can be a gloomy and terrifying world that can exile my enemies, so that they will never see the light of day and suffer from the torment of cold!”

Odin was very confident. He felt that his idea was excellent, as it could both suppress his opponents and demonstrate the authority of the Aesir.

He thought, this time, Big Brother shouldn't scold me, right?

Unexpectedly, as always:

“My foolish brother!”

This classic opening line made Odin unable to hold back.
