Chapter 630 Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall
"I haven't seen him!" Forseti lied without batting an eye, appearing earnest and even shockingly retorted, "My father and William the Obliterator are old acquaintances? How come I didn't know?"
Odin took a deep breath and said, "It seems you really don't know."
He had just used the Truth-Seeking Enchantment on Forseti, confident that Forseti couldn't lie under such circumstances.
This confidence stemmed from his own power and magic.
But he didn't know that with William standing by, all those spells were useless in his presence.
Forseti nodded with a smile, "Of course, I wouldn't dare to deceive Lord Odin."
Odin's gaze swept over William and Lucien, still convinced that Baldr couldn't possibly help these ordinary Shapeshifters achieve Supreme Deity level power.
The logic was simple.
If Baldr could teach these three Supreme Deities, then Forseti should at least be at the peak of the Supreme Deity level.
Forseti's lineage is considered noble, and his talent is exceptional. With the same resources and the same secret techniques, there's no reason Forseti should be inferior to these two bear-men.
As the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, Odin always thinks a lot. After a period of analysis, he concluded that, in this world, apart from William the Obliterator, no one would do such boring things.
Odin was aware of some history between Baldr and William the Obliterator.
That meant William the Obliterator supported Baldr of Heart of Asgard.
And him sending these three Supreme Deities to protect Forseti implied William the Obliterator had high hopes for Forseti.
Considering all this, Odin directly asked Forseti, "Forseti, do you want to become the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance?"
Odin had also heard the conversation between Noctar and Forseti downstairs. If it were any other Shapeshifter leader trying to obtain the power of the holy halo, he would definitely not agree.
But Forseti was different.
His father is Baldr, with a pure bloodline, and now with William the Obliterator escorting him, becoming the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance seemed only natural.
Forseti didn't expect Odin to ask so straightforwardly.
He chuckled and said, "Lord Odin, are you trying to stop me?"
In the Divine Realm, the strong are revered, and this is especially true among the Shapeshifters, where competition is exceedingly brutal.
Forseti wanting to replace Odin's position, would Odin readily agree?
Forseti was also clear-headed about the situation. With Lord William right by his side, he fully had the capital to stand up to Odin.
What would Lord William do if Odin really made a move against him?
Would he directly give Odin a beating?
He wondered, who was stronger, his Lord William or Odin?
"Don't misunderstand!" Odin slowly stood up and said, "If you truly wish to become the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, then I can help you ascend to the throne. After all, I've watched you grow up, and it would be great if you could become stronger."
This was playing the emotional card.
Odin knew how protective William the Obliterator was. Didn't Hades rely on William the Obliterator before to snatch two top-tier divine artifacts from the archangel Amenadiel?
He definitely didn't want to offend anyone close to William the Obliterator.
"Lord Odin jests. With the power of the holy halo yet undecided, and Forseti's strength being inferior, becoming the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance is extremely difficult." Forseti didn't expect Odin to offer his help.
Or to put it another way, he didn't believe it!
"I will gather the strongest members of the Ultimate Force Alliance to vie for the power of the holy halo. Even if we obtain just a sliver of the five holy halos' power, it will be yours!"
Odin certainly wanted to obtain the power of the holy halo himself, but he also clearly understood that William the Obliterator, capable of annihilating the Archangel Amenadiel with a single move, was definitely worth allying with.
The power of the holy halo was not as important as a friendship with William the Obliterator.
"Is that true?" Forseti looked at Odin somewhat surprised.
Since he was young, he had dreamed of one day replacing Odin as the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance.
Now Odin was being so generous to him?
It felt a bit uneasy on his conscience!
"Would my words be false?" Odin smiled kindly, "But your current strength is still a bit low. After the Ultimate Force Alliance conference ends, you should go to the Nostarion God Tree to enhance your strength."
This city is known as Nostara City because it houses the first sacred tree in the world, the Nostarion God Tree.
For thousands of years, aside from the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance, no one has been able to enhance their strength at the summit of the Nostarion God Tree.
It is the only tree in the Divine Realm that can continuously provide pure soul energy to those beneath it. It's a personal belonging of Odin, the leader of the Ultimate Force Alliance.
Only those who have made significant achievements or contributions to the Ultimate Force Alliance are allowed to enhance their strength by the Nostarion God Tree.
"Thank you, Lord Odin, but I don't need it..."
He is now equally aware that following Lord William presents a tremendous opportunity, making even the Nostarion God Tree seem insignificant in comparison.
"Suit yourself. When you wish to enhance your strength through the Nostarion God Tree, just come to me," Odin simply offered Forseti an olive branch, showing his goodwill. Whether Forseti accepted it or not was his own decision.
Could Odin really beg him to enhance his strength by the Nostarion God Tree?
...
Odin thought that since William the Obliterator had sent three Supreme Deity protectors for Forseti, William the Obliterator probably wouldn't come himself.
"Let's go! It's time to convene the Ultimate Force Alliance conference!" Odin said as he walked downstairs.
The Shapeshifters on the first floor bowed in respect upon seeing Odin.
"Everyone, head to the Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall!" Odin said indifferently, "Let's discuss the ownership of the power of the holy halo."
After saying this, Odin led the Shapeshifters to the Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall in Nostara City.
The so-called Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall is somewhat similar to an arena on Earth.
Following Odin's command, the various powerful members of the Ultimate Force Alliance who had arrived in Nostara City gathered at the Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall.
William followed Odin and the others to the highest altar-like place.
"Long live Lord Odin!"
"May Lord Odin unite the Divine Realm!!"
...
Among those present were Shapeshifters loyal to Odin, the powerful beings from Asgard ruled by Odin, and leaders from various cities around the realm.
The voices of the crowd were deafening.
William, observing the crowd below, couldn't help but reflect on the diversity; the number of races had increased by thousands compared to several hundred thousand years ago.
Odin, with a simple gesture, exuded a regal aura, instantly silencing the entire Gjallarhorn Assembly Hall.
"You all should know why I've gathered you here!" Odin stated, "I'll get straight to the point. There are only five strands of the power of the holy halo, and all the forces within the Divine Realm are vying for them. Naturally, our Ultimate Force Alliance will not be left behind."
"In this matter, we must be united, or else the people from the Divine Alliance or the demon race will obtain it," Odin said, frowning slightly. "But in the end, if we do obtain it, how should it be distributed?"
After the collective effort of the Ultimate Force Alliance to contend for the power of the holy halo, the question was, to whom should it be given if obtained?
Many, eager to flatter, shouted loudly, "Naturally, it should be offered to Lord Odin. Whoever dares to hoard it for themselves, I'll be the first to not let them off!"
Meanwhile, the people below joined in the shouting.
Almost without exception, they were flattering Odin.
Odin flicked his fingers, "Uranus and I do not intend to take it for ourselves. Instead, let the leaders of each city send representatives to compete. The ultimate victor will receive the power of the holy halo obtained by our Ultimate Force Alliance."
