Chapter 12 - Banquet (Part 2)

The banquet lasted for three days and three nights.

The floor was covered with a thick layer of broken glass, a true Asgardian feast.

During this time, everyone except Shen Mu got drunk, woke up, and continued drinking, repeating the cycle.

Odin, along with Queen Frigga, left after the first day of the banquet!

Only Shen Mu and Thor were left to revel in endless celebration.

Shen Mu, however, seemed to have an extremely high resistance to alcohol.

The alcohol was quickly broken down in his stomach, so he didn't feel the slightest bit drunk.

Moreover, Shen Mu couldn't tell if it was the special Asgardian alcohol, but he always felt these drinks were stirring his lungs.

It made Shen Mu involuntarily want to fiercely breathe out a scorching Dragon's Breath.

During the banquet, compared to Thor, who was completely immersed in the revelry like a big, boorish simpleton, Loki seemed a bit out of place!

At least, Shen Mu saw him use illusions more than once to trick the people drinking with him.

And, with his keen senses, Shen Mu noticed Loki occasionally casting his gaze upon him, as if he were plotting something.

However, Shen Mu didn't pay it any mind.

Shen Mu's inability to get drunk made Loki feel a bit dejected.

He had originally intended to take advantage of Shen Mu being drunk to pluck a scale from him.

But he found that even after being challenged to drink by Thor, The Warriors Three, and hundreds of others in turn, Shen Mu still showed no signs of intoxication.

So, he never found an opportunity to act until the banquet ended, and he had to give up reluctantly.

The first thing Shen Mu did after the banquet was to fly high into the sky and thoroughly enjoy the embrace of the Sun.

"Hey, Thor, why do you think Shen Mu likes the Sun so much?"

"Don't the dragons we've encountered usually prefer dark and secluded environments? Like caves, or swamps."

Fandral asked Thor, who was beside him, as he watched Shen Mu floating in the sky, basking in the sunlight.

"The dragons we've encountered weren't as strong as Shen Mu either."

Thor's meaning was clear!

He meant that Shen Mu's habits were different from other dragons, just as their strengths were different.

"Thor, are you still preparing to challenge Shen Mu?"

Fandral continued to ask.

"Of course, a true warrior only grows in battle."

"I am Thor, the Thunder God, Odin's eldest son, no one can defeat me forever!"

Thor said, his eyes full of fighting spirit, as he looked at the figure in the sky.

And Shen Mu in the sky, with his super hearing, naturally heard Thor's words, and just smiled inwardly.

To catch up with Shen Mu's growth, unless Thor immediately inherits the Odin Force and comprehends the power of the runic symbols, becoming Rune King Thor.

Otherwise, within the same amount of time, Shen Mu would only widen the gap between them.

Not only Thor was watching Shen Mu, but Odin and Frigga were also observing him.

"His power seems to come from the Sun."

"And the Sun's power has a conversion rate of dozens of times in him; this unique physique has never appeared in the records of the Vanir over millions of years."

"Is he really a dragon? Or does he just possess the appearance of a dragon?"

As a user of magic, Frigga was extremely sensitive to changes in energy.

She discovered that Shen Mu's body was like a giant converter.

He would draw one unit of power from the Sun, and after passing through his body cells, it could be converted into ten or even dozens of units of power.

"He is a miracle; the Sun gives him power, but his power will sooner or later surpass the Sun."

Odin also said with a touch of inexplicable emotion.

While basking in the Sun, Shen Mu also opened the treasure chest that had finished charging during his fight with Thor.

"System, open the treasure chest."

"Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining a Seed of Divine Power. Do you wish to merge it immediately?"

"Seed of Divine Power, is this something that can give birth to divine power?"

"Yes, Host, possessing a Seed of Divine Power grants you the qualification to become a God, but for the seed to sprout and grow, it requires the support of a divine position."

"Divine position, is it like Thor's position as Thor, or Sif's position as the Goddess of Land and Harvest?"

"Yes, Host!"

"System, what conditions are needed to activate my Seed of Divine Power?"

"Ding! The Host's Seed of Divine Power originates from the Aesir and requires obtaining a divine position before it can draw power from Asgard."

"That seems a bit difficult!"

"As an outsider, no, an outside dragon, it shouldn't be so easy for me to obtain a divine position in Asgard, right?"

"However, it doesn't seem impossible. Asgard is plagued by many disasters; promising to help them resolve one or two crises in the future in exchange for a divine position shouldn't be too much to ask!"

Shen Mu instantly thought of how to obtain a divine position from Odin.

After all, with Odin's current attitude towards him, he shouldn't refuse such a condition, right?

"System, merge the Seed of Divine Power for me first!"

Shen Mu instructed the System, and the Seed of Divine Power immediately merged into Shen Mu's soul.

"Eh, something isn't quite right. Why do I feel a trace of divine power from Shen Mu, and it's the most orthodox power of the Aesir?"

At this moment, Odin, who was still strolling through the Heavenly Palace with Frigga, suddenly stopped and said with some surprise.

"What? That's impossible!"

"That little dragon doesn't have Asgardian blood; it's impossible for him to awaken divine power."

Frigga heard this and felt that Odin must have misperceived!

A dragon born in Vanaheim could not awaken divine power exclusive to the Aesir.

"No, this is not an illusion."

"It seems there are secrets about Shen Mu that even I cannot comprehend."

"Perhaps only that great existence in Eternity's Realm would know everything!"

The Eternity's Realm Odin referred to was the dwelling of Eternity, one of the five God of Creation.

That was the true Creator God of this Universe.

"However, possessing the divine power of our Aesir is also a good thing; it will deepen his connection with Asgard."

Odin's face showed a slight smile, seemingly pleased about this matter.

"Oh, right, Shen Mu once said he wanted to consult you on magic knowledge; you can open all of Asgard's magic knowledge to him."

"It's quite peculiar; his body clearly possesses terrifying defensive power that even we can hardly match."

"But his resistance to magic is not very strong."

"At that time, to awe him a bit, I unleashed my power, and I found that the power of the magic runes on my body would cause his body to produce a strong sense of rejection."

To be honest, Odin truly marveled at the peculiar dichotomy of Shen Mu's body.

"This might be the strange balance produced by the Universe!"

It's just unknown whether an existence like Shen Mu is an isolated case or if there are others like him.

After Shen Mu felt he had basked enough for the day, he slowly descended from the sky.
