When it came to this elder brother of his, Leon found that he did not know what attitude he should use to face him.
As for this mission to Alfheim, Leon knew it had been a rotten idea from the advisory group under his elder brother, Odin.
But without Odin’s silent approval, they absolutely would not have dared to do such a thing.
After all, Leon was Queen Catherine’s most beloved son.
As long as Bor was still alive, no one would dare touch Leon.
“Oh…” Seeing Hela and Leon walk into the sleeping palace, Odin waved his hand to signal his ministers to leave.
Then he quickly came before Leon.
“Wells, you’re back.
During your thousand years in Alfheim, I had Heimdall observe your situation every day…” “Royal Brother…” Leon bowed and said, “I have made Royal Brother worry…” “Sigh…” Odin quickly supported Leon’s body and said with some anger, “I am your elder brother.
Saying that makes you far too polite…” “You didn’t even know to come back and visit.
Mother was very worried about you.
She even thought I had imprisoned you…” “These past years, she hasn’t given me many good looks…” Only then did Leon meet Odin’s eyes.
Odin had become much steadier than before.
Although he had restrained his aura, the faint pressure around him was still thick and domineering, giving Leon the feeling of being scrutinized.
Before him, Leon did not dare show even the slightest arrogance.
In his heart, there was only deep awe.
This was a born emperor, dignified without needing to be angry.
If Leon were not Odin’s younger brother, he would never dare stand together with a person like this.
Because when sharing the same frame with this kind of person, even the strongest would become nothing more than a background board.
“Father, Father…” Hela stretched out her little hands and shouted happily, “This was my credit!
I was the one who found Uncle Wells and brought him back!” “Hahaha…” Hearing his daughter’s voice, Odin completely disregarded his kingly image and laughed heartily.
“Very well, Hela.
Whatever you want, just say it.
Father is happy today and will not refuse you…” It could be seen that Odin doted on Hela deeply.
Leon only did not know how the two of them ended up parting ways in the end.
Leon muttered secretly in his heart.
“Good!” Hela nodded with incomparable excitement.
“Then I want to go to your treasury and choose a treasure!” Odin was also in high spirits and did not refuse his daughter’s request.
“Go.” “Great!
Groot, let’s go…” Before leaving, Hela did not forget to call the little tree man on Leon’s shoulder.
Whether the little tree man understood or not was unclear, but he shouted in a milky voice, “I am Groot!” As he spoke, the little tree man jumped from Leon’s shoulder onto Fenrir’s back.
Fenrir’s fur instantly exploded.
It leapt up and down inside Odin’s sleeping palace, looking extremely cheerful.
“Groot?” At this moment, Odin also noticed the little tree man.
He said in surprise, “I didn’t expect this race to still exist in the Nine Realms…” “I am Groot!” Hearing Odin’s words, the little tree man jumped down from Fenrir’s back again.
He puffed out his chest and shouted proudly, “I am Groot!” “Hahaha…” Odin seemed to be amused by the little tree man’s appearance as well.
He smiled.
“Very well.
Since that is the case, I shall also grant you an opportunity.” After saying that, Odin immediately became serious.
A cold aura spread from his entire body, making him seem like a god descending into the world.
Odin stretched out his right hand toward the little tree man and said word by word, “In my name…” It was a language Leon understood.
It was like the whisper of an angel, yet also like the murmur of a devil.
In an instant, a mass of holy radiance appeared behind Odin.
Within that radiance, Odin looked like an invincible god of war.
The little tree man was enveloped by a ball of white light.
Only after half a minute did the white light disappear.
At that moment, the little tree man pouted and shouted, “It hurts, it hurts!” The little tree man quickly covered his mouth.
He looked at Leon uneasily, and Leon also looked at the little fellow in disbelief.
“Ah!” Hela jumped up and said, “Groot, you can talk now…” The little tree man blinked.
“I can talk now?” Although he was speaking normally, his tone was still that babyish voice, making him sound especially cute.
“So this is Odin’s strength?” Leon’s entire body froze as he stared at Odin in shock.
Leon possessed the Reality Stone and had the inheritance of Valhalla within his body.
He had originally thought his strength was already not inferior to his elder brother’s.
But looking at it now, the gap between him and Odin was still far too great.
Just this mysterious, godlike method alone made Leon feel somewhat ashamed of his inferiority.
“All right…” Odin withdrew his gesture and smiled lightly.
“You all go out first.
I have important matters to discuss with Uncle Wells.” Although Hela was somewhat mischievous, she also knew what was important.
The little beauty bowed to her father and uncle, then led Groot and Fenrir outside.
Watching Hela leave the sleeping palace, Leon said softly, “Hela is truly adorable…” After Hela left, Leon and Odin, the two brothers, immediately fell into silence.
After a long while, Leon felt that continuing like this was not a solution.
He could only brace himself and be the first to break the quiet in the room.
Odin glanced at Leon, then turned around.
“Wells, what do you think of the Nine Realms today?” “Uh…” Leon’s tone was stiff as he said, “Very good.
Aside from some war, everything else is fairly decent…” “Decent?” Odin suddenly turned around, his expression extremely serious.
“The various realms have no corresponding laws.
There is nothing unifying the realms.
All kinds of magical beasts and great mages disregard dignity and treat human lives like grass.
You call that decent?” Facing Odin’s questioning, Leon fell silent again.
As the saying went, if one was not in that position, one did not plan its affairs.
Perhaps because their personal perspectives were different, he and his elder brother also viewed things differently.
Leon’s lips parted slightly.
“If Royal Brother wants to unify the Nine Realms, I will help you.” “Wells…” Odin said in shock, “You know my thoughts?” Leon nodded and said, “With the increasingly frequent exchanges between the Nine Realms, in my view, the unification of the Nine Realms is an inevitability of history.
Even if we do not do it, someone else will definitely do it in the future.
If that is the case, why shouldn’t it be us?
Why should Asgard hand this opportunity to someone else?” Leon’s voice fell into Odin’s mind like a thunderclap.
He looked at his younger brother with incomparable excitement.
“Good, good, good…” Odin also noticed his loss of composure at this moment.
He hurriedly restored his expression, but his voice was still very excited.
“Wells, I didn’t expect us brothers to have the same thoughts!” To be honest, Odin had somewhat disliked this biological younger brother who was much younger than him.
Otherwise, he would not have gone decades without returning to see him.
But at this moment, after hearing Leon’s words, Odin finally felt that he had underestimated Wells in the past.
How could someone with such a broad heart be a narrow-minded villain?
Leon’s spirit suddenly became dazed.
He knew that from this moment on, he had gained his elder brother Odin’s approval.
He was not merely Odin’s biological younger brother.
In a certain sense, Odin now regarded him as a like-minded friend, a companion who could fight side by side with him.
This relationship even surpassed kinship.
“Is he going to use one realm as the first target?” Leon left Odin’s sleeping palace, but the tremor in his heart still had not disappeared.
Although Asgard was a major power among the Nine Realms, it was not yet an absolute hegemon whose word carried unquestioned weight.
There were still several great powers equal to Asgard.
Perhaps it was to establish prestige, or perhaps it was to declare Asgard’s authority to outsiders.
Just now, Odin had revealed a piece of news to Leon.
He wanted to personally command the army and wage war against a certain realm, turning it into Asgard’s subordinate territory.
When Leon first heard this news, he was somewhat stunned.
He never expected that Odin had only just ascended the throne, yet he had already made preparations to unify the Nine Realms.
“No wonder Asgard feels different…” Leon muttered to himself, “So the horn of war has already sounded.” Unlike the previous battle against the Dark Elves, this war would be a true battle between two races.
The defeated side would lose its army and lose the glory of its ancestors.
Its realm would completely become a subordinate territory.
In the history of the Nine Realms, this kind of battle was unprecedented.
“So cold…” Leon seemed to have already imagined that scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.
He suddenly shivered.
Leon pulled his clothes tighter around himself and finally sighed deeply.
“Forget it.
I should go see Mother and Father first.” Asgard would soon face its final period of calm.
In the future, this place would become the center of the storm sweeping the Nine Realms.
The storm was coming, and it was not something anyone could stop.
