Ishtar stepped forward and took a closer look.
She saw that Grimm was writing a few bold characters on the front flyleaf of a stack of notes as the main title of the entire notebook:
“abyss of odin”
Continuing downward, a line of sprawling, fly-sized tiny characters came into view:
[Oh gods! Come on! The time has come for the two of us to settle accounts!]
Ishtar’s breathing instantly hitched and her steps halted, nearly causing her to perform a tactical lean-back.
“Are you sure… this is your post-battle realization?”
She immediately realized that what Grimm was writing was probably not some simple realization.
Given this guy’s world-shaking wisdom, it was probably a thunderous masterpiece that could shock her for ten thousand years.
For some reason, her cognitive functions began to tremble subconsciously.
“Positive and certain.”
Grimm nodded, his eyes wide open, his face solemn, holding the notebook in his hands.
As if treating it with the solemn and sacred reverence of ancient scriptures.
In fact, right at the beginning, before actually putting pen to paper, his most direct realization after this battle was that he ultimately found it difficult to directly and frontally contend with Odin for a long time.
Even if this was just a Fake Odin clone, it was not something a mere ordinary half-breed like him could easily deal with.
After all, that was a Dragon King, the King of Heaven and Wind!
Teacher Daye personally certified that Odin was once the strongest warrior of their clan!
Even Odin’s current state was only after being weakened!
Although Grimm was finally able to display a bit of his personal talent and embark on the heavenly path of Alchemy.
But speaking of time accumulation, talent comparison, resources, channels, manpower…
After careful calculation, no matter from which aspect, it was impossible for him to compare with a high-and-mighty figure in the clouds like Odin.
It was like an ordinary bottom-tier corporate slave, no matter how capable they were or how hard they worked themselves to the bone, could never openly challenge a top financial conglomerate that controlled the economic lifeline.
The most direct proof was that Grimm had previously gone through untold hardships, trials, and tribulations, deeply studying and practicing Alchemy…
and in less than half a day, he finally made progress and slightly improved his strength.
Yet He, Odin, appeared quite at ease when facing the stronger Grimm.
He even just activated a layer of alchemical dragon texts…
enhanced lightning Word Spirit, beating Grimm until his skin was charred black, his injuries were quite severe, he was crawling all over the floor in defeat, and his self-healing speed could almost not keep up.
Finally, Grimm seized the opportunity when Odin suddenly lost focus for some reason, and narrowly managed to slap this guy in the face and snatch his mask as a trophy.
This even belonged to an act relying on luck and could not be counted into serious battle records.
After bitterly practicing his most proficient Alchemy for less than half a day, he could only barely engage in a frontal clash with Odin—who was using enhanced means—for just a moment!
It was hard to imagine how dark, desperate, and sunless the path of opposing Odin in the future would be!
Even though Grimm fancied himself to have the ambition of man conquering nature, facing a colossal monster like Odin who had survived from ancient times, he couldn’t help but feel his hands and feet turn cold and his spine chill.
No wonder the common saying goes, human effort has its limits!
However, Grimm was not a stubborn old diehard; he considered himself quick-witted and habitually divergent in his thinking.
So, racking his brains, deeply reflecting, pondering intensely, and sublimating his realizations…
for as long as two minutes!
He finally figured out a new way:
Since fighting solo wasn’t feasible, could he form alliances and gang up?
Even if his single strength could not resist Odin, he could hold high the banner of defeating Odin.
As long as there was a way to make tens of thousands of people see the truth and witness His evil nature and conspiracy plans with their own eyes…
There would be a chance to make forces around the world—The Secret Party, Orochi Eight Families, Solomon’s Temple, Westminster Bank…
unite to fight Him, making half-breeds step into the breach generation after generation!
To plunge Odin into the vast sea of the masses!
It was precisely because of this grand goal that Grimm was prompted to write this world-shaking masterpiece, “abyss of odin”!
“Uh… so you mean, Odin has already lurked in the human world for thousands of years?”
“And even personally disguised His identity, acting as the head of a wealthy aristocratic family, actually secretly dominating all kinds of inhumane human experiments?”
Ishtar scrutinized several pages of vague and messy manuscript paper, and after reading a section, she showed a ghost-seeing expression like the subway old man looking at his phone meme.
Not to mention how a deity of Odin’s magnitude could frequently interfere in the human world after the end of the Age of Gods…
Fine, Odin in the version of the King of the Wild Hunt had already jumped right in front of their faces, so other versions of Odin were not entirely impossible.
But the dignified chief god of the Aesir clan would actually stoop down to play the head of a family in the human world?
The purpose was just for some strange experiments…
that kind of dark shady business that only magicians would like!?
The style of being a supreme god has been completely lost, okay!
Even if she laughed to death, died outside, or jumped off Mount Evros, she would never believe that half a sentence in here was true!
“Undoubtedly, this is the truth!”
Grimm took back the manuscript paper, tidied up the notes, and packed up to leave.
Hearing Ishtar’s tone, he knew this goddess didn’t believe a single punctuation mark of it.
Heh, I can’t be bothered to stoop to your level.
This trashy goddess’s personality was inferior to Ereshkigal, her experience was inferior to Francesca, and other than Alchemy which was barely passable, not a single thing she had was presentable. You are reading on g.com, the official source.
“Could you possibly understand Odin better than I do?”
Grimm was very familiar with the original Dragon Clan work.
Although Odin, as the hidden boss of the dragon race, had his identity in the human world not directly explained in the original work, judging from his dialogue with Teacher Daye mentioning statements like “I have a family”, Odin most likely lurked in a human aristocratic family for a very long time.
At that time, many netizens guessed that Gattuso’s family head, Pompeii, or the Chen family head was Odin, and even excavated various details to corroborate it.
But Grimm didn’t write it explicitly in “abyss of odin”, only following the vague implication style of the original work, and only wrote the initial draft of the opening, and various settings hadn’t had time to unfold.
After all, this time it was far beyond a simple novel discussion, but a real world.
In case he didn’t guess the identity right, the credibility of this “abyss of odin” would be considered void.
“Ah, right, right, right, I don’t understand Odin as well as you do, but what on earth are you writing?” Seeing Grimm leave, Ishtar closely followed behind him.
“——Right at the start of your opening, you write that the Niflheim where you are trapped buries the truth of Odin’s inhumane experiments?”
“And you even write that after your long-term investigation here, the conclusion you reached is that Odin’s forces procured experimental subjects from everywhere to conduct cruel live-body experiments, not even sparing His own biological children…”
“This, this development is way too forced!”
Grimm retorted, “So what? Do you understand this Niflheim better than I do?”
Although he hadn’t investigated it, stigmatizing…
no, exposing the essence of Odin as a sinister conspirator was always right.
“I don’t understand it, but with you making baseless claims, you at least need some basis…”
Ishtar felt utterly awkward in her heart.
She indeed didn’t understand this ghost place as well as Grimm, but she understood deities better than Grimm did.
How could a dignified supreme god, a lofty and majestic existence of a higher dimension, have a true image identical to a cold-blooded careerist in the human world?
What Grimm wrote was fundamentally not any investigation result; it was already spouting nonsense just like a novel!
The two people’s words were interrupted by a third party’s words——
“Wow~! You guys come over quickly, come over quickly! Look what good thing I found over here!”
Francesca waved at the end of the corridor, jumping up and down with extreme joy.
Given her naughty temperament, there was mostly likely some fun to watch.
And what they bumped into was most likely not a good thing.
“What did you find?”
“Ta-da~ You must never have expected that in this cage world forged by Odin, there would actually be exceptionally cruel human experiment records!”
Hearing this, Grimm turned his head and looked at Ishtar, who wore an incredulous expression.
“Look, isn’t the basis you wanted right here?”
