Odin sighed deeply and said, "The destiny I speak of is not the same as the destiny you believe in."
Even before he had spoken, Odin's face had already begun to show an extremely complex expression.
Frigga was utterly helpless and clung to Odin's arm.
Odin did not allow Raine to continue asking questions. After a brief sigh, he continued, "Among the Aesir, there were once three goddesses of fate: Urd, Verdandi, and Skadi."
"When I first became the King of the Aesir, my sworn brother Loki started a rebellion."
"Back then, I was nowhere near as powerful as I am now."
"In order to quell the rebellion, I went to find the three goddesses of fate, hoping to find a way to quell the rebellion through the Fountain of Fate."
"However, at that time, the Goddess of the Three Kingdoms chose to stop my actions."
"Under dungeon circumstances, I had no choice but to kill the three goddesses of fate in the name of the God King."
“In the Fountain of Destiny, I did indeed find a way to quell the rebellion. I stripped my eldest daughter Hela of the divine authority bestowed upon me by Urd the Goddess of Death, created Gungnir with the divinity of Verdandi, and extracted the Valkyrie power of Skadi to seal Jormungandr.”
"In the end, I defeated and killed Loki, and quelled the rebellion."
"But the Fountain of Destiny disappeared with the death of the three goddesses, leaving only the predetermined prophecy of Ragnarok."
"Or rather, Ragnarok is the curse of the three Fates."
"For countless years, I have tried to change my predetermined fate in order to avoid the coming of Ragnarok."
"Even recently, I banished Thor to your very nose for a trial, but various unforeseen events still led to Loki's fall into the abyss."
“I saw this scene in a prophecy, and I tried to change it, but ultimately I was powerless to do anything about it…”
Odin's voice grew increasingly somber as he spoke.
Ryan could even detect a strong sense of regret in the other person's tone.
Odin may have embellished his actions and motives to some extent in his account, but the facts are likely to be largely accurate.
A thought struck Renn, and he asked, "So, what is Loki now...?"
Odin showed a hint of affection and said, "Loki is the son of Laufey, the king of the frost giants. I found him during the war and named him Loki in memory of my former sworn brother."
Renn: "..."
No wonder Loki rebelled back then.
They treat you like a brother, but you treat them like a son. No one can bear such humiliation.
These barbarians are barbarians.
By haphazardly inheriting his elders' names, Loki has now rebelled as well.
Loki's name is cursed!

Chapter 223 Helheim, First Encounter with Hela
In the past, Odin slew the three Fates, thus quelling the rebellion and becoming the king of the gods.
In the near future, Odin's three children, in their struggle for the throne of the gods, will cause Ragnarok, the end of the world.
In essence, this is a backlash from the law of cause and effect, not true destiny.
At the very least, this is completely different from the vast, endless variables that Renn saw in the long river of fate.
Asgard is Odin's Asgard.
But Odin was just one of many Aesir gods.
The true essence of the Aesir is the Aesir dimension hidden behind Valhalla.
Odin could support Thor's ascension to the throne in Asgard, while in the Aesir dimension, there are also those who can support Hela and Loki.
It is true that Odin's lineage is a royal lineage among the Aesir gods.
However, this does not mean that the Aesir are a royal family with absolute power. In fact, many noble and powerful families within the Aesir are no less powerful than the royal family.
If they unite, it's not impossible for them to completely overthrow the royal family.
The entire Aesir dimension is like a large corporation.
The royal family is the chairman of the board, and other nobles and powerful individuals are board members. They unite to make the Aesir dimension stronger and larger.
Asgard is merely a branch of the Aesir, the parent company, in the real world.
Listening to Odin's complaints.
Ryan also deeply felt that there were countless pitfalls in the Marvel Universe.
Once upon a time, Renn thought that as long as he could become a Godfather, he could do whatever he wanted and become an ancestor.
In reality, if Renn were to transform into an ancestor, he might just fall headfirst into that bottomless pit at any moment.
Thinking of this, Renn's original desire for strength became even stronger once again.
Originally, Raine had planned to travel around Asgard and even the entire Nine Realms.
The more he learned, the more urgent things became for Renn.
After acquiring the Rainbow Bridge technology, the Fountain of Wisdom, the Monument of Life, and numerous texts copied by Odin's orders, they returned to Earth under Odin's guidance.
Norway, on the shores of the North Sea.
Upon arriving at this original homeland of the Aesir gods, Odin seemed somewhat dazed.
Especially when gazing at that ocean.
Raine could clearly sense that Odin was filled with a deep sense of regret and sorrow.
Raine didn't disturb Odin's dazed state.
After a silence of more than ten minutes.
Odin slowly composed himself, and said with a wry smile, "Rain, you were lucky to have Hela, who was once the most beautiful jewel of Asgard."
Listening to Odin's words, Raine silently gave the old man the middle finger in his mind.
This is burning newspapers at a grave, just to fool the ghosts.
Do you really think I haven't seen Thor: Ragnarok?
If Hela weren't a divine being with bloodlines possessing thousands of years of primordial yin energy, do you think I would marry your daughter?
That smoky eye makeup, that punk hairstyle.
That does fit the image of a goddess of death; even ghosts would be afraid of her.
Although Raine did not directly refute Odin's words, his perfunctory expression was undeniable.
Seeing this expression on Ryan's face.
Odin, helpless, shook his head and said, "Very well, I will send you to Helheim. You will know when you see my daughter."
"I need to get engaged to my daughter as soon as possible. With my strength, I can still keep Hela in check for a few more years."
"At that time, I, the old man, will personally place the seal on Hela, so that Hela can stay by your side and you two can develop your relationship."
After saying that.
Odin didn't allow Raine any rebuttal, and the Spear of Gungnir appeared in his hand, pointing it towards the sea.
In an instant, a huge, dark whirlpool appeared on the sea surface.
Raine wasn't afraid at all. He took a step and arrived at the center of the whirlpool. He dispersed his strength and was quickly pulled into a hazy space by a force.
It was different from the chaotic, dark scene that Ryan had imagined, filled with the wailing of ghosts and demons.
Surprisingly, the underworld of Hel is not much different from the outside world.
At most, in this Helheim underworld, there seems to be no daytime, only a deep and alluring night sky, like a curtain covering the horizon.
Above the night sky, a bright, full moon cast its endless light, illuminating the entire underworld with unparalleled clarity.
Come to think of it.
Even though Odin sealed Hela in Helheim, it's impossible that he would mistreat his daughter.
After his initial surprise, Ryan finally had time to take in his surroundings.
Apart from the fairytale-like bright moon and night sky.
Throughout the entire Helheim, it seemed as if snowflakes were drifting everywhere, but once they landed, they left no trace and quickly vanished.
Dead trees have formed a forest, and white snow is falling.
Rather than calling it a hellish place, it's more like a fairytale-like winter world.
"That old geezer Odin, it seems he still loves his daughter quite a bit!"
After seeing the fairytale-like scenery he was in, Ryan smiled and murmured to himself.
However, just as Renn finished speaking...
A highly refined, jet-black sword light suddenly appeared in the void, stabbing towards Renn's kidneys.
Ding!
