Chapter 1047: The Goddess Is Finally Back

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gungnir was the most famous weapon in Norse mythology. The king of the gods, Odin used this weapon to fight his enemies and its almighty divine power to maintain the order and authority of the entire kingdom of God. This spear had powerful magic; whenever it was thrown, it would hit its target and kill any enemy from thousands of miles away. The inscriptions on its surface bound vows and covenants. Promises made in front of Gungnir would be fulfilled.

“Most of it is nonsense. This spear is only more solid and can release a guided energy missile,” Vivian said, taking the tip of Gungnir from Hel. The sharp metal still flashed in a cold light. Some dense energy still floated on its surface, as if the power of Odin still remained. “I know at least six people have escaped Gungnir’s guided missiles, and the part that binds oath is even more bizarre. But it is just that Odin was the only authority in the Nordic region, so no one dared to deceive him,” she said.

“How come the spear tip is in your hand?” Hao Ren asked as he looked at Hel curiously. He knew a little about Norse mythology that Hel was not close to Odin. In fact, as the daughter of the evil god, Loki, she was on the opposite side of gods of Asgard during the Twilight of the Gods. Though the myths of the ancient times somewhat differed from the facts, generally they were believable.

Hao Ren did not know why such a critical Odin relic was in the hands of Hel.

“The Garden of Asgard is destroyed,” Hel said without any emotion. “Does the dispute between the father of the gods and me matter? In that battle, all the gods were losers. Only the demon hunters had achieved their goals. When I found that the melee of the Norse gods had actually opened a window of opportunity to the demon hunters, I just thought that I must at least take the family’s heritage out and stay alive. This fragment was the only thing I managed to bring out.”

“How can I find the Nine Worlds with Gungnir spear tip?” Hao Ren asked curiously.

Hel thought for a moment and said, “Because the remaining fragments are still lying somewhere in the Nine Worlds. The father of the gods wanted to kill the monster from the mouth of the giant wolf before being swallowed by Fenrir. He used the spear to pierce the mandible of Fenrir, and it was a through-and-through wound. Then his power exploded, and the spear broke into three. One piece was clenched in the hands of the father of the gods and was blown out. A section was stuck in between Fenrir’ teeth. The tip fell in front of me. After taking the piece out, I could feel it always resonated with a distant place. This is a weapon with a soul. It is instinctively seeking to reform its body.”

Hel took her eyes off Gungnir’s tip and looked at Hao Ren. “I have tried to reopen the Nine Worlds by tracing the resonance of the spear tip, but I couldn’t find the trajectory of it with my strength and knowledge. Instead, I almost attracted the demon hunters to myself. But I think you should be able to do it. I’ve talked to Mimir, and he mentioned that you have some special method. The old giant suggested that I should give this to you. He was the advisor to the father of the gods, so I decided to trust him one more time.”

It turned out that Vivian did not even have to ask for it, Mimir knew that this thing would be useful to Hao Ren: Hao Ren was looking for the spaceship that Mimir had once ridden in. Therefore the old giant had consulted Hel beforehand.

“I have to thank the old man for his kindness,” Hao Ren said, taking the fragment from Vivian. He felt this piece of metal that looked solid was almost weightless in his hand. It felt like a lukewarm jade. A minor vibration was constantly felt coming from within the spear tip. He immediately took out the MDT and scanned the spear tip. Quickly, he discovered that there was an incomplete energy circulation system inside. Though it had been damaged for thousands of years, the system was still working.

The MDT shook its body and said, “You may want to send this thing on board the spacecraft because I’m going to design an antenna amplifier, which can amplify and send the signal of this metal to the entire solar system. If the Nine Worlds are still floating around the earth, then we will be able to find them.”

Hao Ren quickly kept the metal into his dimensional pocket. Then Hel asked curiously, “Though I don’t mind, what do you want to do in the Yggdrasil dimensional chain? If you’re after wealth and power, then I advise you to give up as soon as possible — there is nothing left in that place.”

Hao Ren smiled and said, “I’m looking for the mystery of your origin in this universe.”

Hel silently observed Hao Ren for a while. She could not see any desire for power and wealth from the man’s eyes. In the past, she would have dug further. But now all her enthusiasm and passion had died down. This former goddess of death just nodded silently, turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared quietly just like the way she came.

“She is deadly dull,” Lily suddenly mumbled.

The ancient tree Grandalr shook his branches and said, “All Ancients are like this, after all, they are old.”

Hao Ren glanced at Vivian spontaneously, the young-looking countess turned her head and glanced back at him with a sunny smile. “What?”

Strangely, every Ancient whom Hao Ren met was mostly dull. In other words, it was the “vicissitudes of age.” Even though Hesperides and Hel looked young relative to their ages, their temperament was no longer as young. The only exception was the super ancestor in the house; she looked like she was stuck in a time warp.

Hao Ren thought for a moment. He opined that Vivian’s seventeen-year-old youthful look was mainly attributed to two reasons. One was her bloodline; 10,000 years to the split body of the goddess of creation was just a drop in the ocean of her life. The other one was that she was so forgetful that she had forgotten about a large chunk of her life after each sleep.

“What the hell are you staring at?” Vivian asked, feeling uncomfortable from the stare. “Your stare reminds me of Hessiana.”

Hao Ren was struck dumb.

Two days later, Hao Ren saw that the situation in the sanctuary had stabilized, he was leaving.

He had intended to take Mimir along, and then arrange for the old giant to meet with the guardians of the Plane of Dreams. But later Mimir had decided to stay back in the Athens’ sanctuary; there were many things to be done. He was a legendary Ancient who was highly respected among the unusual creatures. During the meeting for the last few days, he had played a prominent role with his wisdom and knowledge. He had unconsciously become the key in establishing the Shadow Council, and for this reason, he felt that he should not leave yet.

Moreover, he was still the advisor to the demon-hunter organization. Now that the killing was over, but the sensitive identity and current situation of the demon hunters meant that both sides would not be able to meet in the short term. The unique existence of Mimir had thus become a bridge between the two sides. Initially, this mediator role should belong to Hao Ren, Vivian, and Lily, but Hao Ren had to report back to the administration and Vivian was anxious to go home to clean up the house while the great first sage was a husky, so the heavy responsibility fell on the shoulder of the old giant.

Of course, Hao Ren would not forget about Mimir. As soon as the dust settled in the sanctuary, he would set up a meeting for the old giant to meet his compatriots. Mimir had no problem with this arrangement: the guardian had a massive sense of responsibility, even if it lost its memory. Compared with meeting his compatriots, Mimir cared more about the work at hand.

After the dust settled, Hao Ren finally got the break that he had been dreaming of. He first went home and slept for a whole day and night. Hao Ren did not care if Rollie had damaged the sofa and things like that. He even ignored Lil Pea’s bite marks on the furniture. After replenishing his energy, he immediately went to see his boss armed with his work report and his fantastic discovery in Coldpath.

The mansion of Raven 12345 had changed little. Hao Ren was delighted to find that the house of his boss was intact this time. At least it looked like there was no explosion in the past two days. The Arcane servant brought him to a large and gorgeous office where he met his female boss.

The goddess was focused on something behind the desk, where a bowl of noodles was sitting in the corner. When Hao Ren entered, Raven 12345 quickly looked up and said with a loud voice, “Hey, Hao Ren, you’re back?”

Hao Ren suddenly felt a touch of emotion: after so many days, his boss, not the stand-in, was finally back in office.
