When Shen Mu announced his departure, the enthusiasm for drinking not only didn't wane but instead grew even stronger!
Asgardians weren't so sentimental about friends coming and going.
So the five people and one dragon drank nearly a quarter of the wine in their cups.
In the end, everyone was dead drunk, except for Sif, who needed to stay a little sober to avoid collapsing among the men.
The next day, Shen Mu prepared to inform Odin of his intentions to leave.
"Shen, are you ready to embrace your destiny?"
When Shen Mu appeared in the palace, Odin spoke directly!
Heimdall had already reported to him about Shen Mu's desire to use the Bifrost Bridge.
"Yes, Your Majesty Odin, I plan to borrow the Bifrost Bridge to go to Midgard!"
Seeing that Odin seemed to already know his purpose, Shen Mu didn't beat around the bush.
"Midgard, you say?"
As the nominal Lord of the Nine Realms, he naturally knew about the special nature of Earth.
Many Cosmic Gods and Dimensional Demon Gods currently traversing the Universe had originated from Earth.
For example, Chthon, the God of Ancient Dark magic, who had mastered Chaos Magic and long since transcended the Universe.
And the Vishanti, a trinity, were also ancient Gods from Earth.
As well as Dormammu, the Demon God of the Dark Dimension, who was initially just a magician, but later found the Dark Dimension, abandoned his physical body, and merged with the Dark Dimension to become its Dimensional Controller.
Furthermore, many historical records in Asgard indicated that Earth had once been an experimental ground for the Cosmic Gods.
Therefore, the seemingly ordinary Earth attracted numerous gazes.
"I had hoped you would remain in Asgard for a while longer, as your Sun God Power is newly born, and staying in Asgard could help you control and strengthen your divine power."
"However, I know that Asgard might be a restraint for you, Shen. This is your destiny, the path you must take."
Listening to Odin's words, Shen Mu could feel a hint of relief in his tone.
"But, Shen, I need to give you a small warning."
"When you arrive in Midgard, you need to watch out for Mephisto, a Greater Demon from the Hell Dimension."
"During my Odin Sleep, I felt your Sun God Power awaken, and countless other powerful beings felt it too!"
"And if you go to Midgard, he might seek you out."
"Demons are most adept at toying with souls, and schemes and tricks are their specialty. A powerful body but weak divine power in a newborn God would be an incredibly perfect avatar for him."
Odin issued a warning to Shen Mu.
"Thank you, Your Majesty Odin, I will be wary of demons."
Shen Mu had already heightened his vigilance in his heart regarding Odin's words.
However, he wasn't scared by it. It was extremely difficult for Hell Demons to appear on Earth in their true form.
But if they only appeared as avatars, Shen Mu had no fear.
Moreover, even if these demons truly managed to manifest their true forms through certain methods, the Sorcerer Supreme on Earth would not stand idly by.
Furthermore, Shen Mu was aware of Mephisto's methods, which were nothing more than relying on Ghost Riders who wielded Hellfire.
However, the riders he chose were not always so obedient.
"Your Majesty, I will go bid farewell to Your Highness Frigga."
Shen Mu said to Odin, then turned and left!
Upon arriving at Frigga's palace, Loki was also there.
Seeing Shen Mu's arrival, Loki's face showed a hint of unnaturalness.
"Your Highness Frigga, I have come to bid you farewell. I am preparing to leave Asgard!"
"This is the World Tree branch you lent me. I have already comprehended magic energy, and now I return it to you."
Upon hearing Shen Mu's words, a look of surprise flashed across Loki's face.
In his heart, he almost started a celebration party on the spot.
He always felt that Shen Mu's gaze towards him held a peculiar meaning, as if his true nature had been seen through!
This was very unsettling for Loki, the God of Mischief, with his heavy thoughts.
Now this fellow was finally leaving.
Frigga, however, felt a bit reluctant. Although their time together wasn't long, her impression of Shen Mu was truly excellent.
Because Shen Mu possessed great power but wasn't arrogant and reckless like her elder son; instead, he was very rational.
And like Loki once was, he was very eager to learn magic, allowing her to experience the joy of being a teacher again.
"Shen, this World Tree branch is of no use to me. Consider it a gift from me!"
"No matter where you are, Asgard will always welcome you back."
Frigga stepped forward and hugged Shen Mu's neck.
"Second Prince Loki, I'll be waiting for you on Earth!"
As he was leaving, Shen Mu used his divine power to transmit his voice into Loki's ear.
This made Loki's expression freeze.
He looked at Shen Mu's retreating back with a puzzled gaze.
"What does this worm mean?"
Although Loki revered Shen Mu's power, he inwardly looked down on Shen Mu.
The identity of a God King's son was enough to give him this arrogance, at least before he was repeatedly beaten.
Walking on the Bifrost Bridge, Shen Mu came alone, and he left alone.
No, that's not right. In his system space, there was still the goblet gifted by the elves, and a huge sun disc.
Wait, Shen Mu remembered he seemed to have an un-opened chest for annihilating invaders.
Shen Mu, who had been immersed in various surprises, almost forgot!
Thinking about things, his steps quickened. When he reached the end of the Bifrost Bridge, he found Thor waiting for him with The Warriors Three.
Shen Mu asked with a smile, "Thor, are you waiting to bid me farewell?"
"Shen, my father, the King, does not allow us to casually set foot on Midgard."
"Otherwise, I would want to go with you to see the strong beings you spoke of."
Thor said with some regret.
"Thor, there will be a chance. I'll be waiting for you on Earth!"
Shen Mu responded with a smile.
Then, The Warriors Three all stepped forward and hugged Shen Mu.
"Oh, right, Shen, here's something for you."
"Fandral took out a long sword from behind him and handed it to Shen Mu."
Shen Mu was a bit puzzled by this. I'm a giant dragon, what do you mean by giving me a sword?
However, Shen Mu vaguely felt a familiar sensation on the sword.
"Shen, do you remember the scales that fell from your body during your last fight with Thor in the arena?"
"Someone found these scales when repairing the arena, collected them, and asked the dwarves to forge this Dragon Scale Sword."
Fandral explained the origin of the sword to Shen Mu.
It was then that Shen Mu suddenly realized why the sword felt somewhat familiar to him.
"Fandral, you are one of the few sword masters in the Nine Realms. Let this sword be my gift to you!"
Shen Mu, with a flick of his wrist, handed the sword back to Fandral, because he had no use for it.
Compared to weapons like swords, knives, and firearms, Shen Mu still found using his fists and Talons more elegant.
"Shen, don't worry, I will definitely not disgrace this sword."
As a sword master, Fandral naturally loved swords and could also discern the quality of this sword.
So, holding the sword, he performed a standard swordsman's bow to Shen Mu.
"I'm counting on you, Heimdall!"
After bidding farewell to everyone, he said this to Heimdall.
"It's my duty!"
Heimdall nodded at Shen Mu, then twisted the Guardian's Sword, and the Bifrost Bridge opened instantly.
Shen Mu plunged into it without hesitation.
