Stupid Odin

Angrboða's face was terrible; she knew Loki was right.

The God-King would not spare any Chaos Fiends, so her grandsons would likely not survive.

She stubbornly said, "What if Odin can't protect them either?"

A cold glint flashed in Loki's eyes: "We can always have more!"

It would be a lie to say Loki didn't harbor resentment at the loss of his son. That was just his nature; the more you forbade him from doing something, the more he wanted to do it. The rebellious spirit ingrained in his bones drove him to develop a personality that didn't consider the consequences of his actions.

The giantess was inherently savage; she didn't care about right or wrong, or what impact it would have on the world. Anyway, if someone made her uncomfortable, she wouldn't let them be comfortable either.

So, that afternoon, Loki sought out Odin.

"Odin, I must confess something to you. Fenrir actually has offspring."

"Ah?!" Odin didn't hide the surprise on his face, staring intently at the two wolf pups that resembled ordinary puppies. Pups of this size were like ants to humans in his eyes.

Loki said magnanimously, "You know, King Thanes has a deep prejudice against me. He only refuses to punish me based on the rules he set. Once they grow a little bigger and are recognized as Chaos creatures, they will still be cruelly killed."

"Loki, are you suggesting...?"

"Your Majesty gave me a bunch of Order Tablets, saying they could prevent my descendants from becoming chaotic. I think, for their safety, it would be best to give them to you. After all, I am nominally your subordinate god!" Loki said grandly, uttering words that put immense pressure on Odin.

Odin was truly troubled.

He knew that Loki had guessed his thoughts, that Loki resented him for not protecting Fenrir. Even now, Loki didn't think his wolf son would cause any serious consequences for the gods.

Oh! So Loki doesn't know that his son Fenrir will bite me to death in the prophecies!

Now it was Odin's turn to struggle.

This Odin was not the God-King who ruled the entire Aesir; he was merely a vassal king of a small world. If he sold out Loki, he wouldn't have a single capable person to work for him.

Odin also knew that if he refused to protect Loki's two wolf grandsons, Loki would definitely hate him to death.

But if he accepted?

Odin knew about the series of divine decrees that the Big Brother had recently issued.

The [Ragnarok] event, which made a supreme God-King so cautious and stern in his wording, meant that great chaos was about to descend.

If Odin wanted to survive this calamity, he had to master more power—both military and intellectual.

Odin hated it; why was the Big Brother, who also drank from the Well of Wisdom, so smart, while he was inferior in everything? The more he needed talent, the more Odin felt that Loki was indispensable.

Moreover, could a demon wolf that even the Big Brother was so wary of become a force in Odin's hands?

They were Loki's grandsons, and they seemed to listen to Loki. Wouldn't he indirectly control two powerful demon wolves by pulling Loki along?

Thinking of the prophecy that the one who would bite him to death was that damned demon wolf Fenrir, Odin gritted his teeth and decided to gamble.

"Alright! Loki, I agree to this. I will do my best to ensure their safety. But I will decorate their wolf den with all the Order Tablets to ensure they don't become chaotic."

Seeing that Odin had really agreed, Loki finally revealed his signature charming smile.

"Odin! I knew you would protect them. You are my eternal good brother!" Loki gave Odin a warm hug, almost clinging to Odin's entire body.

Odin had a slightly awkward expression on his face, but he still patted Loki's back, comforting him, "We swore to drink mead together and share wealth and glory, good brother."

"Yes!"

"By the way, what are their names?"

"Sköll and Hati! Angrboða named them," Loki said carelessly, whistling.

These two names made Odin frown.

In the Aesir language, Sköll means "betrayal." Hati's name means "hatred" or "hostility."

The giantess was using this way to express her dissatisfaction with the God-King, meaning that God-King Thanes had betrayed her trust in him, and she was beginning to become the God-King's enemy.

Odin shook his head: "No! Perhaps they are also in the God-King's prophecies. Let's change their names. One will be called Geri, and the other will be called Freki."

Geri represents greed, and Freki represents hunger.

For wolves, these two names are very normal.

Loki shrugged: "Alright, it's up to you."

Loki didn't know that Odin was thinking—if he, Odin, couldn't hide or control these two beasts, he would report them to Thanes and let Thanes destroy these two beasts.

Odin was such a short-sighted and indecisive character. He always greedily wanted to get all the benefits. When he couldn't handle things, he would ask Loki for ideas. Once something went wrong, he was unwilling to take responsibility. As a result, Loki was always the scapegoat.

It was this opportunistic and ruthless Odin who ultimately led Loki in the epic poem [Edda] to embark on the path of betraying the Aesir.

The newest novels are first published at 6 9 books ba!

In any case, this time Odin took in the twin wolves, which allowed him to continue to maintain his relationship with Loki.

On the other side, Thanes received the news that Odin had obtained two little wolf pups.

This news made Thanes feel puzzled.

In the epic, Odin did raise two war wolves with these names, which sounded fine.

On the other hand, Thanes also remembered that in the epic, Fenrir had two wolf sons, Sköll, the wolf who chases the sun, and Hati, the wolf who chases the moon. These fierce wolves all wanted to devour the sun and moon, and when [Ragnarok] arrived, they would successfully achieve their goal.

Thanes was worried about this… for three seconds, then he was relieved.

Even if Odin was determined to protect Loki's grandsons, there might not be good results.

If they were the switched twin wolves, with Fenrir's fierce heritage, they would likely turn against Odin in the future.

That would be quite amusing.

The question is, if it was the same chaotic power that raised Fenrir, would there be any difference in the outcome if it was divided between two offspring?

The difference here is significant.

It's like a 20-year-old woman being replaced by two 10-year-old girls, just asking if it's criminal?

"Since [Heaven wants it to rain, and Odin is courting death], let Odin do as he pleases. I have done my best!"

In this world, there are many guys who can't see their position as a younger brother clearly. Clearly, they could live very comfortably as a chess piece, but they insist on being a chess player.

They don't have the life of a chess player, but they insist on suffering from the chess player's disease.

I can't persuade him!

I really can't persuade him!

Thanes sighed: "My foolish brother! My patience has a limit. Once you cross that line, the karma between you and me will be severed. Alas—"

In the temple where there is no second being, Thanes, sitting on the supreme throne, let out a long sigh.
