Chapter 1026: Chapter 98 Lao Luo, Come Out to Greet the Guest_3

The guests attending the banquet were always those few individuals, and more or less, they were all connected to him, the God of Tricks.

Should anything come to light, the painstakingly crafted honeymoon period might be prematurely shattered.

Therefore, Odin simply sent Brynhild over, leaving it to his Blood Alliance brother to decide how to address the crisis at hand.

Based on the clues in his mind, as well as tracing back through Nordic mythology, Luo En already had a rough idea about the suspect’s identity:

“You head back first. I need to make a trip to Solheim!”

Upon hearing that resolute tone, Brynhild finally breathed a sigh of relief.

[Land of Chaos] Solheim–this was the territory of Mountain Giant King Xia Ji.

It seemed that the disappearance of the Goddess of Youth, Eden, was very likely related to the Giant Clan.

“Rest assured, I will return immediately and report to the Father God!”

Seeing that Brynhild had understood his intentions, Luo En nodded, sending the subordinate away from the Netherworld.

Once he confirmed her departure, only then did he pull off the hastily draped cloth covering his body. He retrieved the [Divine Battle Clothes], offered to him by the humans, elves, and dwarves, from the Magic Circle Diagram, draping it over his torso marked by bites and claw marks.

The gold-and-black Divine Battle Clothes tightened automatically as Luo En decisively drew the Lun Runes on the ground, opening the teleportation array to the Giant Country.

“Must you leave?”

A cold, low voice sounded from behind. Standing at the door of the Death Temple, Hela tightly pursed her lips.

Sensing the displeasure in his student’s heart, Luo En explained helplessly:

“I’m sorry, Eden’s in trouble, and I need to personally go handle it.”

Hela was silent for a moment, then gave a carefree smile:

“Alright, take care of yourself. And take this with you–it’ll be faster.”

As she spoke, Hela raised her hand slightly, and the Black Dragon King Nidhogg came roaring forth, obediently lowering his massive body under his master’s command, his mighty presence temporarily serving as Luo En’s mount.

Prepared for a lengthy persuasion, Luo En was unexpectedly comforted to find his once-stubborn student now understanding and proactive, not even the slightest bit displeased, even going out of her way to help.

“Once I’ve resolved this, I’ll bring Eden to visit you specially!”

Luo En leapt decisively onto the dragon’s back, steering the Black Dragon King Nidhogg into the teleportation array.

As the silhouette of man and dragon vanished amid the Giant Country’s endless snowstorm, Hela’s smile faded, her gaze turning dark.

“Bang!”

A pale fist struck out, smashing through the stone pillar in front of the Death Temple like shattered bamboo.

Once again, because of Asa! Once again, because of another woman!

Why can they live in the sunlight, indulging in what should rightfully belong to me?

Why must I pay such an exorbitant price merely to catch a glimpse of you or spend a little time alongside you?

Why should time meant for me be spent benefiting others?

This isn’t fair!

Pale fingers slowly curled, imprisoning several pebbles within, grinding them inch by inch into powder.

As the grains of sand trickled through her fingers, Hela’s lips curved into a smile–a deranged, haunting grin etched on a face immersed in darkness.

The things I desire–I will have them.

If you won’t give them to me, then I’ll take them myself.

Meanwhile, Luo En, riding the Black Dragon King Nidhogg, arrived swiftly at the Land of Chaos. Without hesitation, he smashed the dome of the Mountain Giant King Palace with brute force, storming into the grand hall as he roared:

“Xia Ji, get out here right now!”
