"It's like this, my time is running out, there isn't much time left.
And in our Asgard, there has always been a terrible prophecy.
According to the prophecy, in the near future, our Asgard will face a great catastrophe.
At that time, the Immortal Palace will turn into a sea of fire, becoming a living hell, and the entire continent will completely sink.
And in order to break this terrible prophecy, I have been working hard to find a solution all these years.
But until today, there is still no way out, until your appearance."
Odin looked at Lauren meaningfully, a glimmer of hope blooming in his eyes.
"Me? Wait, you're not trying to say I'm the child of hope for your Asgard, are you?"
Hearing Odin say this, Lauren was stunned for a moment, feeling a bit confused.
But thinking back to how Gu Yi also had such an attitude towards him back then, he felt relieved again.
After all, he is a Gunman with a system, so it's only natural for him to become the child of hope in the mouths of these big shots.
Hearing this, Odin smiled and nodded: "As expected of the Gunman who can make even a powerful existence like Lazuli submit, young man, you are truly smart."
"God King, I didn't expect you to be quite good at flattery either, not bad, not bad, this flattery makes me very comfortable.
However, I do know a little about the terrible prophecy you mentioned, that prophecy is called Ragnarok, right?"
Lauren looked at Odin before him knowingly, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.
In fact, from the moment Odin appeared, he had already guessed his general intention.
The only reason Odin, the God King of the Nine Realms, would personally descend to find him could only be because of the prophecy of Ragnarok.
It's just that Odin didn't seem to expect Lauren to even know about the prophecy of Ragnarok in their Asgard.
This immediately widened his eyes in shock, his face full of disbelief.
However, thinking about how he had tried for a long time in Asgard but couldn't find out Lauren's background.
Coupled with the fact that even a powerful woman like No. 18 was willing to submit to him.
Then it was only natural for him to know about the prophecy of Ragnarok.
Thinking of this, he became even more certain that Lauren before him was the future hope of their Asgard.
Suddenly, his gaze towards Lauren couldn't help but become more fervent.
"It seems I really didn't misjudge you, young man, you are truly extraordinary, not someone ordinary!"
Odin looked at Lauren with emotion, another round of flattery.
If the other higher-ups in the Nine Realms saw this scene at this moment, they would probably be shocked.
On weekdays, no matter where Odin was, he always maintained the posture of a high and mighty God King.
Everyone who spoke to him had to be respectful and reverent.
When had they ever seen Odin so amiable, or even willing to actively flatter others?
For them, this scene was no less than seeing a ghost in broad daylight!
"God King, you don't have to be so polite, let's get straight to the point! What exactly do you want me to do?"
Seeing that his goal had been achieved, Lauren didn't want to beat around the bush anymore and went straight to the topic.
"It's very simple, I want to find a way out for my family and the people of Asgard in these last days."
"Find a way out? You're looking for me? You think too highly of me."
"You are being too modest yourself, if it were before this, I wouldn't have believed you could.
But ever since I exchanged blows with your subordinate, Miss Lazuli, I have been convinced of this."
If one of your subordinates possesses such terrifying strength, I dare not imagine what level your own strength has reached."
So please be sure to agree to my request, as for the things you just mentioned.
Whether it's the Eternal Spear, the Eternal Flame, or even the Infinity Gauntlet, I can give them to you."
However, I must state in advance that the Infinity Gauntlet in my treasure vault is merely a replica.
It's useless, if you simply want to collect it, I can have someone send it to you now."
Hearing that Odin was actually willing to give him all the treasures he mentioned, Lauren was stunned, thinking he had heard incorrectly.
"No, are you really willing to give me all those treasures I mentioned? You're not joking with me, are you?"
Lauren looked at Odin with a hint of doubt, somewhat disbelieving.
Unexpectedly, Odin laughed heartily and said: "Of course I'm not joking with you.
If Asgard is destroyed, what use would these treasures be to me?"
Would I use them to mourn the spirits of my poor people?"
I'm not senile yet, I can still distinguish what is more important here.
A person's life only has meaning when they are alive and breathing.
Other than that, all external things are just illusions and fleeting bubbles, you can just take them."
As Odin spoke, he raised his hand and waved, and the Eternal Spear was taken out by him again.
Not only that, there was also a cluster of crimson flames in his palm.
And this is the Eternal Flame, also the source of power for the Fire Giant Surtur.
Legend has it that once the Fire Crown touches the Eternal Flame, it will transform into an incredibly powerful Fire Giant.
And the ultimate culprit of the prophecy of Ragnarok in Asgard is precisely this Fire Giant - Surtur.
At this moment, Odin brought out the Eternal Flame, but he didn't take out the Fire Crown.
The deeper meaning behind this, Lauren understood at a glance!
No wonder this old guy was willing to take out all the treasures he wanted and give them to himself, he wanted to transfer the risk!
Leaving the Fire Crown in Asgard, and then placing the Eternal Flame with him.
This way, as long as the two don't come into contact, the Fire Giant Surtur naturally won't appear.
If the Fire Giant doesn't appear, then the so-called prophecy of Ragnarok seems like it won't be fulfilled.
But will things really be this simple?
Obviously, this is impossible.
However, the reason Odin is doing this is probably also a last-ditch attempt.
As for the result, no one knows!
But since Odin has already delivered the treasures to his doorstep, there's no reason for him not to take them.
Odin worries about the prophecy of Ragnarok, but he doesn't.
Anyway, if it really can't be stopped in the end, it won't be his people who die.
Therefore, let's take the benefits first.
As for future matters, let future self handle them!
As he thought this, he immediately raised his hand and grabbed the Eternal Spear, wanting to take it.
However, Odin held onto it tightly, seeming a little reluctant.
"What, you're reluctant?"
"After all, it's a weapon that has been with me for thousands of years, there's bound to be some sentiment."
As Odin spoke, he gently stroked the Eternal Spear, then opened his mouth and spoke a few incantations to it.
"The power of the Eternal Spear comes from the land of Asgard, not me.
So even if I die one day, as long as Asgard is still here, its power will remain."
And as long as you eat that pill of mine, you will possess a trace of my divine power, and then you can control it freely."
Young man, the future of Asgard, and my two useless sons, I'll have to trouble you to take care of them in the future."
As Odin spoke, he resolutely gave both the Eternal Spear and the Eternal Flame to Lauren.
Then, without waiting for Lauren to say anything more, Odin directly turned into a phantom and disappeared.
