Aphrodite now stood watching what Hephaestus had in store for her. Her feelings right now were confused. Why wasn't he the same as she expected? He should have been furious and tried to hold her back like the other gods.
She had never seen anything like this before. A deity who would easily let her go without relying on her tricks.
“Have we been wrong about him this whole time?”
What Hephaestus had prepared for her was a snowman of the right size that she could carry with her. It was filled with divinity of happiness.
Just looking at it, Hephaestus really intended it as a donkey gift.
“No, we cannot hesitate. He must use this method to make us think he doesn't care. But he really cares. It's a really sly way.”
Aphrodite couldn't help but look back on the past. Zeus wanted Hephaestus to deliver him a powerful weapon. He even plotted with Poseidon and Hades to deceive her. let Mrs. Somyom be his wife
Hephaestus, like the other gods, fell in love with her at first sight. In order to protect herself, she used many tricks against the gods. make her survive every time And Hephaestus was one of many gods she could lure.
She had already thought about this point. She began to see a difference. He wasn't a deity who would play tricks like this.
“If he wants with his strong divinity He can always force us.”
in the end He was different from the other gods that tried to force her. He had never forced her even once. She thought it must be because he had lost to her Divinity, but it wasn't.
that he never forced her because he Maybe really love her.
“Is there really a god who loves others?”
This was what she had always thought. Love is strange to all gods. Except for the gods that are truly related to it like Hestia and Bast The other gods didn't understand it. Even Athena herself
She is a wise deity in matters of war. But this relationship She didn't understand it at all. She thought Hephaestus would be like Zeus or any other god.
“Did I really misunderstand this?”
Aphrodite closed his eyes before shaking his head. she decided She chooses to be more independent
“Even if he really loves me but I don't want to.”
Aphrodite then went up into a chariot drawn by Pegasus. Even if she said that. But she did not leave the snowman Hephaestus had given her.
When she got on the horse carriage Then it dragged the cart and flew into the sky. and headed for Athens. That was the only place she was safe from Zeus and his brothers.
Little did he know that Zeus was unable to awaken at this time. Hades was afraid of being assassinated, and what Poseidon was doing now no one could know.
…
on the other hand
Chen Ming after talking with Athena. He immediately headed for Valhalla. He can now control the Divinity of Happiness. The same was true for Hua Lan, Ni Ye and Chang'e.
As for Loki, she still couldn't reach the Divinity of Happiness. But I'm starting to understand it. However, her Divinity was not compatible with Divinity of Happiness.
Chen Ming couldn't help saving her. By proposing that deception and faking are the same thing. Fun pranks exist. which Loki thought of it and she was able to access the divinity of happiness
“I'm back~!”
Loki feels good to be back home. Although she didn't leave Valhalla for very long.
But the people in Valhalla didn't think like that. Everyone was terrified. There was no one in Valhalla who had not been teased by Loki. Except for Odin and Frikka.
Chen Ming and the girls all shook their heads. I hope that Loki who has reached the divinity of happiness will play softly on these people They and they seemed to be losing their minds.
Loki now disappeared, no one knows where she went. Chen Ming opened the map and found that she was looking for Thor and Balder. Her goal is clear. She hadn't pranked anyone since she traveled with him.
She must be very depressed right now.
“Hopefully Thor and Balder will keep her. If not, Valhalla will surely catch fire.”
Chen Ming still hadn't finished speaking. A large snowman appeared. The doll was the shape of Thor and Balder hugging each other with warm expressions.
“Hou, it seems she understands the term playful prank. At this point, there should be no problem… at least.”
Chen Ming then headed towards Odin's Temple. He was not surprised to see Odin and Frikka waiting to greet him.
Odin sensed the change in the desert. He knew that Chen Ming had done what he had anticipated, and soon the threat of Valhalla would disappear.
Now it's time for Valhalla and the Dragon King what to do next. Loki can be a good connection between Valhalla and the Dragon King. Because she had a mind unlike other gods.
And now it's about his eldest daughter, Hale.
“The Dragon King will definitely need help to go to the afterlife. How should I deal with this, Frikka?”
Odin is wise and wise. However, he thought that other people's opinions were also important.
Frikka hesitated a little. She just let out a breath.
“There must be someone who pulled her out of the abyss. We did our best, Odin.”
Odin heard Frikka replied. He just sighed and shook his head. Hale was not like the other siblings. She was full of madness.
She loved killing and war. And she was now part of the afterlife. A place where she could kill without much thought.
But even if killing in the afterlife would not affect the world of the living, But she had been in the Divinity of the Dead for a long time. making her unable to live a normal life in the world of the living
Odin was able to resolve the situation regarding her soul and divinity, but the problem was that she refused to return. He tried to force her but couldn't. as a result
Perhaps the Dragon King could do something to help him.
“It seems that we depend on him for a lot of things to handle our problems. We should prepare some gifts for him. Do you think so?”
Frigga proposed. She knew that the Dragon King would know that Odin manipulated him into doing what Odin wanted. However, the fact that he didn't say anything and did what Odin wanted. It showed that he was not the one who used only strength. Even Loki, who was difficult to reason with, had not stuck with him anywhere.
If it were normal, she would have disappeared. and go do what she wants
“Hopefully he can bring our old daughter back. I want her to know that life isn't all about fighting and killing.”
Frikka nodded to Odin. She knew how guilty he felt for not taking good care of his daughter before. and focused on his son This was another reason why Odin was so strict with Loki. But still let her have fun.
She looked like a beloved child in many people's eyes. But it was just one father's guilt.
Now, Odin and Frikka once again stood before the Dragon King. The two welcomed Chen Ming with smiles.
Odin did not hide anything else about the matters he wanted Chen Ming to help.
The two of them were currently drinking in the tavern as usual.
“I need you to help bring my daughter back to Valhalla. Whatever you do, ask her to come back. No matter how violent you use it though.”
Odin immediately got to the point. He wanted Chen Ming to drag Hell out of the afterlife. Afterwards, he heals Hale's death addiction on his own.
He had let her be at his will for too long.
Chen Ming felt like he was talking to a father who was worried about his daughter. but had to be patient and do everything to bring the daughter back to be the same
Chen Ming thought for a moment. His wishes and Odin's wishes were matched however.
“This time, I won't do it for free. Just like the map you gave me. I need something similar. for use in the afterlife I'm sure your Deity rank will definitely have one.”
Odin nodded Although Chen Ming did not say a word . He was already thinking of giving it to him. Odin then took something out of the dimensional rift.
What he took out was a compass.
“This compass can only be used in the afterlife. It may not be as convenient as a map. But it helps you go in the direction you want. In the afterlife, direction is the most terrifying thing. You never know where you're going. for there neither distance nor direction existed. It's a world that overlaps so much that it becomes that kind of world.”
Chen Ming understood what Odin said. The afterlife is like a two-dimensional world that overlaps into a three-dimensional world. If he's not careful It can be easily slipped into another dimension.
This compass was what Chen Ming needed most to enter the afterlife.
“And this is a gift for you to be able to hold Loki.”
Odin smiled and took out something for Chen Ming. It was full of Divinity that Chen Ming did not understand.
"mask?"
The divinity that came out of the mask made him feel confused. Even his Divinity couldn't see it.
“This mask will prevent death from seeing you. Going to the afterlife is not something ordinary gods can do.”
Odin now can be regarded as giving all of himself. This mask was the one he received directly from the Goddess of Death. An item like this was highly desired among the gods. because if there is No one will be able to see him again after this. Not even the controller of destiny
