Brandon could easily tell what Loki was thinking from the pause he took after Utaha finished speaking.
As Bai Xuan had said, in Loki's eyes, Odin only favored Thor because Thor carried his bloodline.
If Loki carried Odin's bloodline too—then with his superior intellect and strength—he would rightfully be the King of Asgard!
What, you say his strength doesn't match Thor's?
He'd just spend the points and surpass him!
Then there'd be no need for Hela to crush his Mjolnir. He'd do it himself!
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Odin's bloodline… wow, that's expensive!"
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Fifty million points?!"
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Temporarily recruiting one Odin only costs five hundred thousand points."
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Asgard bloodline's the same—five hundred thousand points. A hundredfold difference."
Su Yunqing glanced at the exchange price for Odin's bloodline.
Fifty million. That was steep.
But considering the Infinity Stones cost a hundred million points, and Thanos with just one Infinity Stone couldn't beat Odin—it actually made sense.
**Child of Nature:** "Odin's bloodline is different from Odin's blood."
**Child of Nature:** "This price isn't actually that high."
**Child of Nature:** "Both Hela and Thor have the potential to reach Skyfather-level, and the later Thor surpasses Odin entirely."
**Child of Nature:** "Though their mothers play a role, Loki also carries the bloodline of Laufey, King of the Frost Giants. If he fuses with Odin's bloodline as well, I believe Loki's potential exceeds both of them."
Bai Xuan wasn't certain who Hela's mother was—possibly Frigga, but more likely not.
The comics had an answer, where Hela was Loki's daughter with the witch Angrboda, but that clearly didn't apply here.
As for Thor, from what Bai Xuan could recall, he wasn't Frigga's biological son either. He was an adopted child.
His mother was Gaia of the Vanir?
Either way, marrying Odin meant both parents had exceptional bloodlines. But as King of the Frost Giants, Laufey was unmatched in that regard.
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Laufey and Odin?"
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Something weird just popped into my head."
**Richest Man:** "Please try to be normal."
**Richest Man:** "Okay, fifty million does seem reasonable then."
**Richest Man:** "Movies can't show a character's true power because of CGI limitations."
**Richest Man:** "The chat group wouldn't price a low-value item this high either."
Look at Super God Academy—where the wars were supposed to be between the most advanced civilizations in the universe, but the limited technology and budget meant the battle scenes couldn't convey the grandeur befitting the greatest civilizations in existence.
So the chat group's pricing was the real standard.
**Ninth Prince of Great Qin:** "Indeed an exorbitant price. But for Odin's bloodline, it's to be expected."
**Ninth Prince of Great Qin:** "Unfortunately, the free lottery from joining only gave me a common Asgard bloodline."
**Ninth Prince of Great Qin:** "Completely worthless, really."
**Ninth Prince of Great Qin:** "Father and the others wouldn't bother with it either. It's only good for military rewards."
A foreign barbarian god's bloodline—its fusion effects were weak.
His world was fused with The Legend of Qin, making it a high martial arts world. Any fighter worth mentioning could defeat an ordinary Asgardian without breaking a sweat.
Gai Nie and Wei Zhu were on a different level entirely.
The only thing worth a second glance was the five thousand-year lifespan.
But after the First Emperor consumed an immortality elixir, there was no reason to fuse with a foreign barbarian's bloodline just for five thousand years.
Meng Tian and the others felt the same. Longevity elixirs weren't expensive in the chat group, and Ying Zi'nian had no objections to trading them for things that could be recycled.
**Loki:** "Worthless?"
Loki was taken aback by Ying Zi'nian's words. He'd done the free lottery too when he joined—it had only given him something garbage.
At first he'd just been surprised by Ying Zi'nian's luck. But later, something unexpected happened.
This chat group member who joined at the same time as him was just an ordinary human.
His world was somewhat special, but ninety-nine percent of people lived like mortals, their lifespans measured in decades.
Yet he looked down on an Asgard bloodline that granted five thousand years of life?
**Ninth Prince of Great Qin:** "If you understood mortal history, you'd know how powerful my dynasty was in its era."
**Ninth Prince of Great Qin:** "No equal existed in the entire world."
**Ninth Prince of Great Qin:** "The bloodline of a god from some foreign corner—why would we possibly care about it?"
Though he had exchanged for Kaido's template, a template was a template. While it would grant him all of Hundred Beasts Kaido's innate and acquired talents, abilities, and bloodline—the fusion also depended on the user's own will. He didn't need Kaido's bloodline, so naturally he discarded it.
He was still Ying Zi'nian, flowing with the blood of the First Emperor of Qin.
If even he looked down on it, the First Emperor certainly would.
The First Emperor, who placed himself alongside the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors—even if he exchanged for a bloodline, it would only be a Human Emperor's bloodline.
Foreign barbarians?
*Hmph.*
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Yeah, basically."
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Native immortals and deities are one thing, but the gods beyond Huaxia? We don't even glance at them."
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "And yours is basically just an extraterrestrial."
**Ordinary Group Leader:** "Has nothing to do with the gods in mythology."
Even if you offered Su Yunqing five hundred thousand points, she wouldn't exchange it for that bloodline—she'd pick a decent Devil Fruit instead.
Compared to exchanging for bloodlines, she preferred cultivating step by step to elevate her life form, allowing her bloodline to evolve naturally.
And if she really had to exchange, it would only be for named immortals and deities—not foreign gods beyond Huaxia.
She'd exchange for Divine Beast bloodlines before touching a foreign deity's blood.
Besides, Asgard wasn't even mythology here—it was an extraterrestrial civilization.
Su Yunqing felt that way, and Bai Xuan felt the same.
When he first won the defective Uchiha Obito template from the lottery, besides the Mangekyo Sharingan, it also came with the Uchiha bloodline.
He discarded the Uchiha bloodline directly.
The Mangekyo Sharingan just had a heavier burden when used—but Bai Xuan had no intention of fusing with it just for that.
After fusing with the Mangekyo Sharingan, due to the [Authority of Nature], different ocular techniques were born, and the burden on these eyes had already vanished.
Like the Golden Eyes that burned away all illusions—it had become a single ocular technique.
