Compared to the Kryptonian's incredibly tough physical defense, their resistance to magic was somewhat weaker.
At this moment, Odin merely stood there, completely still, yet his cells reacted so strongly.
Shen Mu had confirmed that the Kryptonian's low magic resistance was a fact, so his vigilance towards Odin reached its peak.
Seeing Shen Mu's extremely wary demeanor, Odin, on the contrary, withdrew all his imposing aura.
"Don't worry, I bear you no ill will."
Odin at this moment was like a kind old Grandpa next door.
"Does it still not matter, even if your son was beaten into this state by me?"
Shen Mu extended a claw, pointing to Thor who was just climbing out of the pit, and said.
"Long years of victory have made Thor arrogant and conceited. Asgard no longer needs a king who only knows how to fight."
"Father, I will defeat him."
Thor's internal injuries had already begun to heal at this point. After flying up, he still said, unwilling to give up.
"Enough!"
"Do you know that your opponent was born less than four years ago?"
With Odin's eyesight, he naturally wouldn't be fooled by Shen Mu's size.
From Shen Mu's massive body, the trajectory of his life he saw was only less than four years.
In other words, the giant Black Dragon in front of him was still in its infancy.
Although even Odin himself found it somewhat unbelievable, the current facts were precisely that.
"Father, what did you say?"
Thor suspected he had misheard!
Four years old? This massive creature, over twenty meters long and nearly ten meters tall, and you're telling me it's less than four years old?
Then have I, Thor, at nearly 1400 years old, lived all those years in vain?
(In the neighboring DC Universe, an eight-year-old cosmic overlord, upon arriving on Earth, was severely beaten by the indigenous gods of Earth.)
Shen Mu wasn't surprised that Odin could see through his physical details.
"Were you really born only four years ago?"
Thor's fighting spirit had now faded from his face, replaced by an expression of utter disbelief.
"If calculated from the day I hatched, I was born three years and nine months ago."
Shen Mu's words completely deflated Thor!
The mighty Thor was defeated by a newborn baby!
Although this baby looked somewhat terrifying, it still couldn't completely hide the fact of its short growth time.
"Can you tell me your name?"
As the defeated party, Thor asked Shen Mu with some embarrassment.
Normally, a loser had no right to question the victor.
"Of course, my name is Shen Mu."
"Shen Mu, that's a very strange name."
Thor felt very strange after hearing Shen Mu's name.
"Why do you have such a name? This name reminds me of the Sorcerer Supreme of Midgard."
"The place he came from named their descendants in this way."
"However, all the Black Dragons in the Nine Realms should be descendants of the Black Dragon Níðhöggr's bloodline."
Odin also felt Shen Mu's name was somewhat familiar, and instantly thought of Sorcerer Supreme Gu Yi on Earth.
Gu Yi was her name after she became a Sorcerer, before that she was called Yao.
However, why would Shen Mu, a Black Dragon born and raised in Vanaheim, have such a name?
"I'm not quite sure. This name was simply etched into my mind since birth!"
"However, Lord Odin, may I ask where this Midgard you speak of is!"
Shen Mu began to feign ignorance as he spoke to Odin.
"Midgard is the middle realm of the Nine Realms, a place where mortals reside."
"Lord Odin, I would like to know if there is any way for me to go to Midgard?"
"I also want to investigate the origin of my name."
Shen Mu stated his purpose.
"Asgard's Bifrost Bridge can send you anywhere in the Nine Realms."
At this moment, Thor, standing on the side, said proudly.
"Lord Odin, I have a small request. Would you allow me to return to Asgard with you? I would like to borrow the Bifrost Bridge."
Shen Mu made his request to Odin.
"Asgard welcomes all benevolent friends."
"However, Midgard is protected by the Sorcerer Supreme and other forces. Going there rashly might cause unnecessary conflicts."
Although Odin agreed to Shen Mu's trip to Asgard, he did not explicitly state that he could use the Bifrost Bridge.
"Thank you, Lord Odin, I will consider this carefully."
Shen Mu didn't think much of it. As long as he could go to Asgard, he would eventually be able to hitch a ride on the Bifrost Bridge.
After all, although Shen Mu could traverse the cosmic starry sky, he had no directional guidance whatsoever.
Trying to fly to Earth purely by luck was simply not very realistic.
Therefore, a trip to Asgard was definitely necessary.
Moreover, he might even be able to find a way to overcome his low magic resistance in Asgard.
Shen Mu knew that Frigga, the Queen of Asgard, was a hidden magic master.
Most of the magic on Loki, the God of Mischief, was taught by this Queen.
Once everything was settled, Odin simply raised the Eternal Spear in his hand.
Immediately, a huge rainbow energy instantly enveloped Shen Mu and them.
The next second, with a strong spatial shift, Shen Mu, who had never experienced it, felt a bit disoriented.
It took him a few seconds to adapt.
"Brother, welcome to Asgard."
Thor and the others were frequent users of the Bifrost Bridge, so they didn't feel anything unusual.
"Your Majesty!"
The dutiful gatekeeper of the Divine Realm, Heimdall, saw Odin return with the injured Thor and Shen Mu, who had injured him.
He immediately bowed before the King.
"A Black Dragon who loves to bask in the Sun, welcome to Asgard!"
Heimdall's impression of Shen Mu was certainly very deep!
He had initially thought it was just a somewhat eccentric Black Dragon, but he never expected it to be able to defeat Thor.
One should know that Thor rarely suffered defeats in the Heavenly Palace arena.
"You must be the Heimdall Thor just called out!"
"It's an honor to meet you!"
Shen Mu also said politely.
"Thor, go and treat your injuries first, then prepare for a feast to welcome our friend!"
"I plan to personally take our friend on a tour of the Heavenly Palace."
Odin had now put away his battle armor and changed into luxurious royal attire, instructing Thor.
For Asgardians, combat and feasts were two indispensable things.
Thor felt a bit surprised. His Father had never shown such enthusiasm for anyone else, not even the other lords of the Nine Realms.
Although, although the opponent had defeated him, it shouldn't be to this extent!
Heimdall, standing on the side, had the same thought.
Even Shen Mu himself felt somewhat surprised, not knowing what this strongest King of Asgard was thinking.
