Chapter 629 Betray anyone but never betray William!
The Joyful Hell Tavern has only three floors, but the distance between each floor exceeds 150 feet.
This is probably to accommodate some Shapeshifters who are quite large in size.
Just as William and his group reached the upper floor, they heard Odin's voice.
"Noctar, Forseti, you're quite early!"
Odin, with his imposing stature and heroic appearance, simply sitting there, exudes a strong sense of oppression.
He had concealed his presence and had been sitting there all along.
As for the conversation between Forseti and Noctar, he had listened to every word.
If William could see through Noctar's little schemes, how could Odin, an old fox, not?
Upon reaching the upper floor and seeing Odin, Noctar's breath hitched.
He had been too outspoken with Forseti downstairs.
Initially, he thought it wouldn't matter even if Odin heard those words.
In fact, he wanted Odin and Uranus to know that his backing was Heart of Asgard.
This way, when he obtains the power of the holy halo, Odin and Uranus wouldn't lay hands on him.
But now, facing Odin in person, Noctar couldn't help but panic.
To put it bluntly, even if Noctar made a blood pact with Forseti, if Odin killed him, Baldr wouldn't cause a stir with Odin over him.
"Lord Odin, you're here too!"
Looking at Odin, Noctar bowed deeply and said, "Noctar of Blazeheart City, greets Lord Odin."
Odin nodded, replying, "No need for such formalities."
Forseti, unlike Noctar, simply greeted Odin, "Lord Odin, long time no see."
Such an attitude was like that of equals meeting and greeting each other.
Odin mused, "Indeed, it has been a long time, but I still remember when I held you as a child, your 'Willy' was only the size of a grain of rice."
"..."
Forseti's face turned awkward. Damn, is it really appropriate to bring up such things in public?
Mentioning holding him as a child was one thing, but why bring up his "Willy"?
Mentioning "Willy" is one thing, but what's with the size of a grain of rice?
With just one sentence, Odin rendered Forseti speechless.
Without Forseti speaking, Odin's gaze fell directly on William.
Odin's eyes slightly narrowed, "Are you a disciple of Baldr?"
William wanted Odin to see him as a peak Supreme Deity level entity, so that's what he would appear as. As for what Odin could understand, that was also what William intended for him to know.
"Yeah!" William did not bow to Odin, just stared straight at him.
Odin didn't find this bear-man's demeanor unreasonable; he knew that bear-men were mostly simple-minded.
And it seemed this bear-man was just a regular bear who gradually gained strength and developed a human form through sheer effort.
A regular black bear, elevating itself to the strength of a Supreme Deity level—what kind of effort and sacrifice does that entail?
Such a simple-minded bear-man not understanding manners could be understandable.
Expecting a bear-man, wholly focused on enhancing his strength, to learn etiquette might be asking too much.
"Supreme Deity level peak, very good!" Odin, as the current leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, is happier the more strong individuals there are in the alliance.
As he nodded, Sophias and Lucien also came up.
Sophias, with a face full of reminiscence, shouted upon seeing Odin, "Lord Odin, hello!"
Odin frowned and sized up Sophias, wondering what this creature was.
A cat appearing out of nowhere?
With the strength of a mid-phase Supreme Deity level...
Then turning to Lucien...
Odin's brows furrowed even deeper.
What exactly is going on with Heart of Asgard?
Two ordinary bears and a cat, none with any special bloodline.
If it's said that just an ordinary bear has become a Supreme Deity level entity, then it could be said that this bear has really worked hard and encountered enough opportunities.
Otherwise, how could it become a Supreme Deity?
You should know, the Shapeshifter clan highly values bloodlines!
Generally speaking, the more powerful the bloodline, the greater the potential.
How could such ordinary bloodlines produce three Supreme Deities?
"Are you all disciples of Baldr?" Odin couldn't help but think of more possibilities.
Doesn't he know how many powerful beings the Shapeshifter clan has?
Baldr is strong, but Odin also knows about the powerhouses living in Heart of Asgard.
And if these three Supreme Deities really are Heart of Asgard's trump cards, then why would they come to Nostara City with Forseti?
Three Supreme Deity level beings, in Odin's eyes, are not really that significant!
Heart of Asgard already has Baldr sitting in, so it doesn't need to use three Supreme Deities to intimidate anything.
The only possibility is...
"Sirena, step down for a moment! I have matters to discuss with Forseti and Noctar."
As the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, when he needs to discuss matters, naturally, it's the irrelevant Shapeshifters who need to leave, not him changing the location.
He does maintain a certain level of dignity.
"As you command, Lord Odin!" Sirena covered her mouth with a coquettish smile, then went downstairs.
During this time, the second and third floors of Joyful Hell Tavern were booked by Odin, as he mentioned he was expecting an important guest. So now, it's just needed to go down and ask the Shapeshifters below to keep quiet.
After Sirena descended the stairs, she said, "Esteemed guests, please quiet down a bit."
Although she's just the Manager of Joyful Hell Tavern, her words quickly made the first floor so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Odin willed it, and all noise from the second floor was isolated.
Only then did he look at Forseti and ask, "Forseti, have you ever seen William the Obliterator?"
Forseti, quick-witted, responded with a blank expression, "Lord Odin, what are you talking about? Isn't William the Obliterator a mythical figure?"
"A myth?" Odin said, "You're unaware that Shadowfen City has been flattened?"
Forseti feigned even more shock, "Shadowfen City is gone? How could that be?"
Odin scrutinized Forseti, saying, "William the Obliterator would have passed through your Heart of Asgard on his way from Tulip Town to Nostara City, and then through Shadowfen City. Now that Shadowfen City is gone, you're saying you didn't know?"
Forseti chuckled, "I really don't know what you're talking about, Lord Odin. First off, how could I have met William the Obliterator if he's a figure of legend? Secondly, does a being as powerful as William the Obliterator need to travel on foot to enter Nostara City? At least I don't need to walk."
He knew well that since William had disguised himself as a bear-
man, he likely didn't want Odin to know of his arrival.
How could he betray William?
Sure, Odin was the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, but compared to William the Obliterator, he seemed somewhat insignificant.
Betray anyone but not Lord William, Forseti was clear on this.
Odin, not easily fooled, slightly lifted his eyelid and said, "William the Obliterator is an old friend of your father. You really haven't seen a human coming to Heart of Asgard, accompanied by another person and an Element Devouring Cat?"
With these words, he used a Truth-Seeking Enchantment on Forseti. Even if Forseti was not weak, he would not be able to deceive.
