Chapter 356 The Legend of Loki, the God of Lies
Before the words were finished, a knock sounded on the door.
Jiang Chaosheng closed his notebook and said calmly, "Come in."
The door was pushed open, and a graceful figure from a foreign land walked in, bowing slightly: "Sir."
Jiang Chaosheng looked up at her and asked, "How much do you know about Odin?"
Medusa lowered her eyes and replied, "Not many, just a few times I've seen him with Poseidon."
Jiang Chaosheng narrowed his eyes.
Just a moment ago, he clearly caught a fleeting glimpse of panic in her expression.
It was faint and fleeting, yet it did not escape his eyes.
She knew something about Odin, but dared not tell herself.
What is she afraid of?
The gods of that era have either long since disappeared or have completely perished.
Who in this world could she be so wary of that she wouldn't even dare to confide in him?
A thought flashed through Jiang Chaosheng's mind, and the image of that forbidden sculpture appeared in his mind.
I don't know what happened between Medusa and the antique shop during the time I was away from Zero Antique Shop.
He remained calm and continued, "What kind of god is Odin?"
Medusa frowned, her expression revealing undisguised disgust.
"That was a god who was cautious to the core and selfish to the extreme."
He suffered from severe paranoia and committed countless acts of killing in his quest to create a supposedly impregnable spatial fortress.
She paused, then continued, "He is also a unique and unparalleled god who wields the power of space."
Whether it was the emperor of all ages or the god of the West, they all longed to cultivate the power of space, but even if they exhausted their efforts, they could not even reach a fraction of Odin's power.
It is said that even the last human emperor humbled himself and sought advice from Odin.
But Odin was too arrogant. Relying on Asgard, a space fortress like a tortoise shell, he directly rejected the last human emperor.
He certainly had the right to be arrogant and wanted to enter Asgard, but there was only one path: the Rainbow Bridge.
This path was created by Odin himself, and no living being may set foot on it without his permission.

Jiang Chaosheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "If Odin was so powerful, how did he fall?"
The "strong" he used did not refer to combat power, but rather to the almost unsolvable spatial power.
Even if the last human emperor and the Western God possessed unparalleled power, if they were unable to enter Asgard, Odin would remain invincible forever.
Medusa frowned and said, "He brought this upon himself."
Hela, Odin's granddaughter, is incredibly powerful.
If it were any other deity or ruler, they would surely nurture him carefully and rely on him as an assistant.
But Odin, fearing unrest within the spatial fortress of Asgard, sent Hela far away to the underworld.
Jiang Chaosheng understands Odin's thoughts.
After all, Asgard is an impregnable spatial fortress.
To break through this fortress, external force is impossible; only internal force can dismantle it.
As she spoke, a hint of admiration appeared in her eyes: "Hela is indeed a powerful goddess."
Even after being abandoned by Odin and left to wander alone in the underworld, she became the goddess who ruled the River Styx in less than a century.
Later, Odin captured Fenrir, an immortal and indestructible monster.
He both loved the magical beast and feared its untamed nature, so he went to ask for a mirror.
In that mirror known as the Mirror of Knowledge, he saw the prophecy of Fenrir's destruction of Asgard.
Medusa's lips curled into a mocking smile: "Odin wanted to kill Fenrir, but that giant wolf is immortal."
So he cast it into the River Styx, banishing it from Asgard for eternity.
Ironically, Odin never imagined that this giant wolf was his grandson, the child of his son Loki and the giantess Angleboda.
Fenrir the Great Wolf inherited some of Odin's bloodline and also possesses spatial powers, allowing it to freely enter and exit Asgard.
The innocent giant wolf encountered its sister Hela in the River Styx, and at that moment, the dormant power of space suddenly awakened.
The siblings immediately agreed and resolved to take revenge on Odin.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Chaosheng suddenly interrupted her, asking in confusion, "Just with Hela and Fenrir the Giant Wolf?"
Even if Hela rules the River Styx and commands the warriors of the underworld within it, she might not be able to defeat Odin, who reigns supreme in Asgard.
Medusa looked at him in surprise and said, "Sir, don't you know that Hela is Lucifer's lover?"
Lucifer may appear to be just an angel under the throne of the Western God, but in reality, he possesses half of the Western God's power.
He is the strongest superior god below the true supreme god.
Jiang Chaosheng immediately understood.
The Western God had long coveted the power of space.
Lucifer's intervention to help his lover Hela storm Asgard was perfectly justified.
Medusa said, "And so, Fenrir the Great Wolf devoured Odin, and Ragnarok descended."
She paused, then suddenly couldn't help but chuckle: "Speaking of which, the destruction of Ragnarok was largely related to Loki, the god of lies."
Fenrir the giant wolf, Hela, are both Loki's children.
According to Poseidon's drunken words, the mirror that Odin treasured and claimed to be able to accurately predict everything was created by Loki using his right eye.
Jiang Chaosheng was slightly taken aback, then smiled and said, "Loki, the god of lies, does indeed have some tricks up his sleeve."
With just cunning and scheming, they completely destroyed Asgard.
So, Loki ultimately ruled Asgard?
Medusa blinked, then shook her head: "Loki left Asgard a long time ago, and nobody knows his whereabouts."
A look of suspicion appeared in Jiang Chaosheng's eyes.
It makes no sense to set up such a brilliant trap only to ultimately fail to enjoy the fruits of victory.
unless-
He has a deeper scheme.
Suddenly, Jiang Chaosheng frowned slightly.
This sophisticated, almost bizarre, deception technique feels strangely familiar.
He raised his hand and gently pressed his fingertips against his forehead.
The ghost's cunning and treacherous left eye is embedded there.
A low murmur rose in Jiang Chaosheng's heart.
Loki, the god of lies, created the Mirror of Knowledge with his right eye.
Why the right eye?
Is it just a coincidence?
After a moment of silence, he gently shook his head.
It doesn't matter anymore.
Jiang Chaosheng continued, "Do you know if the Western God ever used spatial power to create anything?"
Medusa frowned: "The power of space—only Odin possesses it. How could the Western God know how to use it?"
Jiang Chaosheng understood.
Medusa didn't even know about the Divine Bone Sleeping Pen, let alone what the Western God had created with it.
Suddenly, Jiang Chaosheng noticed that Medusa seemed hesitant to speak. Remembering that Medusa had previously kept some things from him, he said, "Say what you want to say."
Medusa paused, lowered her head, and remained silent.
Jiang Chaosheng pondered for a moment and said, "The topic we were just discussing was Odin's spatial power."
Are you trying to say that spatial power can also be used in some special way?
For example, could a pen be made from Odin's bones?
Medusa stared at Jiang Chaosheng in astonishment: "Use... Odin's... bones... to make a pen?"
How could his thoughts be so cruel?
He looks exactly like the Emperor of Ten Thousand Generations!
Jiang Chaosheng pondered for a few seconds, then continued, "And you've seen something like this 'pen,' and that thing is related to the forbidden sculpture in the basement?"
After speaking, Jiang Chaosheng looked up at Medusa: "And that forbidden sculpture, hmm... Emperor of All Ages, warned you not to tell me about it?"
Medusa stared in disbelief, stammering, "You, you..."
She saw it as soon as she entered the basement.
Emperor Wanshi had warned himself not to tell Jiang Chaosheng about that thing.
She never expected that Jiang Chaosheng would actually guess it.
Jiang Chaosheng frowned: "Now, I am your master."
He doesn't like the feeling of being manipulated.
Heaven knows what the Emperor of Ten Thousand Generations really wants to do.
What is it that you don't want me to know?
Medusa hesitated for a while before finally speaking: "The Emperor of All Ages... the golden throne he sits on is made from Odin's skull!"
The spatial power within it is unimaginably vast!
I suspect, I suspect...
Jiang Chaosheng narrowed his eyes: "What do you suspect?"
Suddenly, a terrifying pressure descended!
Medusa screamed and collapsed to the ground, staring outside in terror.
That power comes from the basement, from the Emperor of All Ages!
Jiang Chaosheng also looked towards the door: "Do you still think I'm the same... pawn that I was when I first entered the Zero Antique Shop?"
The word "chess piece" was emphasized.
A faint sigh echoed in the air, and the oppressive aura finally vanished.
However, a hoarse, dry voice echoed in Jiang Chaosheng's mind: "Let's make a deal."
Jiang Chaosheng knew that this was the Emperor of Ten Thousand Generations speaking to him telepathically, so he asked, "What?"
The voice continued: "Stop Hell from controlling the human world."
If you succeed, I...
"6
The voice paused, then changed its tone: "I will tell you everything about the Skull Throne."
If you fail, you don't need to know.
Jiang Chaosheng glanced at Medusa, who was trembling with fear, and said, "Deal."
