Chapter 188: Gossip Day(1/2)

 The huge round table is filled with delicacies, fruits and fine wines. The tempting aroma of roasted spices on barbecued fish can be smelled even outside the hall.

Thor, Sif, and the three warriors, who have washed away the blood and put on regular clothes, are sitting around the round table.

Thor has already changed out of the clothes he brought from the earth and put on Asgard's robes with the other warriors.

Under the loose robe, you can vaguely see the outline of muscles.

Sif, on the other hand, was wearing a thin silk robe. The milky white robe set off her long golden hair, which made her even more beautiful. A small rope was tied around her waist, and the end of the rope was held by her fingertips absentmindedly.

Twisting and playing with it.

The fat dripped slowly from the barbecue and solidified, but the people sitting around the table had little appetite.

Sif accompanied the silent Thor with a slight worry, turning her gaze to Thor from time to time, and then quickly looking away after a brief pause.

Among the three warriors, Fandral, who had blond hair, changed from his usual carefree and uninhibited attitude. He wore an unusually handsome face and stared seriously at Thor's face, which was obscured by food.

The black-haired Hogan was as silent and serious as usual. His eyes scanned the food on the table, but his eyes were dim and he didn't know what he was thinking about.

Only the plump Volstagg had a sad look on his face, but the movements of his hands were also very fast. He picked up a leg of lamb on the dining table, tore off the muscle piece by piece, and swallowed it in his mouth.

.

But the sound of his loud chewing was particularly harsh in this quiet hall. The three people except Thor almost raised their heads and cast their sights on Volstagg at the same time.

"What?"

Volstagg swallowed the mutton and raised the leg of lamb in his hand in protest, as if you don't want to eat it and don't disturb others.

Sif sighed, shook her head at Fandral who was glaring and about to punch him, and stopped his impulse. Then she looked back at Thor who said nothing, but couldn't help but sigh again.

.

After enduring it for a long time, I finally couldn't stand the dull atmosphere and Sol's silence, so I took the initiative to ask the question that caused everyone to behave like this.

"Do you think Heimdall's decision is serious?"

"Is he serious? I would like to see what he looks like when he is not serious. To be honest, I haven't seen Heimdall smile in thousands of years, and even the slightest change in expression is rare."

Fandral, who couldn't hold it in for a long time, vented his anger and complained about Heimdall, then slowly shook his head and continued:

"Is he serious? Of course he is serious, but I would rather he was brainwashed and controlled by Loki!"

"No... In fact, his suggestions are very beneficial to Asgard. Especially at this moment, we especially need the power of those two outsiders."

Hogan expressed his views seriously, but anyone could hear the dissatisfaction in his tone.

"So we can just find someone to push the throne that should be inherited by Thor? Then we can just find a few demons to lead Asgard!"

Hogan shook his head helplessly, then he supported his forehead with both hands, buried his whole head deeply, hiding his expression in the shadow, and then asked in a low voice:

"I can't accept it either, but do you have a better proposal than Heimdall?"

Fandral was stunned when he heard this. He was choked and speechless for a while. After two seconds of silence, he couldn't think of how to answer. Then he simply punched the round table and roared angrily:

"That doesn't mean we have to give up the throne! And having said that, what qualifications does Heimdall have to make such a promise?"

Volstagg was so frightened by Fandral's sudden punch that he almost jumped from the table, and then he answered Fandral's question with a slight dissatisfaction.

"Probably because the people in Asgard who have the power to decide the succession of the throne are no longer able to make decisions."

Hogan raised his head after hearing this. His eyes swept across everyone, and finally stopped on Sif. After a long time, he said sadly, half-jokingly:

"Speaking of which, if Heimdall is included, our round table will already be filled with all the top executives of Asgard..."

Hogan's words silenced everyone again, but this time even Volstagg stopped enjoying the food in front of him.

The suffocating silence fell again. Looking at the depressed people in front of her, Sif's head began to buzz, and for a moment she began to regret raising this topic.

But when she looked at Sol, who still didn't say a word, she couldn't help but sigh.

Even she couldn't figure out why Heimdall, who had always been calm and collected, would make such a ridiculous suggestion, and the worst part was that even Thor seemed to acquiesce.

In fact, Heimdall's proposal is not to directly push Peter and Gwen to the throne of Asgard.

Instead, he hopes that he can take charge of the divine gun Gungnir and protect the Nine Realms. As a reward, Asgard's treasure house will be opened to him, and he will enjoy the highest courtesy in Asgard, and Gwen

The same is true.

However, as Gangnir is a symbol of Asgard's royal power, the only person qualified to control it is the God-King of Asgard. Therefore, although Heimdall's proposal is quite implicit, he actually hopes that Peter

He and Gwen inherited the positions of God King and God Queen.

What was most unacceptable to Sif was that Peter did not accept it immediately after learning about it, but was very resistant. It was not until Heimdall promised to open the treasure house that he expressed the need to consider it instead of rejecting it on the spot.

Asgard's royal power has been trampled on in this way, but Sif has no way to do it. She can only hope that Thor will rise up to resist, but now even Thor has become like this...

At this moment, a steady voice suddenly came from outside the hall.

"My proposal is not a whim. As Hogan said, it is the result of careful consideration."

Heimdall, still wearing a full set of golden armor, slowly walked into the hall, but Fandral really jumped up, his hand was even on his weapon, and there was a hint in his voice.

He asked sharply with a bit of disbelief:

"How could you leave Ximing Castle without authorization at this time?! The last ice giant invasion was because of..."

"Fandral!!!"

Sif's stern warning and Thor's deep voice sounded at the same time. Fandral kept the unspoken words in his mouth with a stiff expression. After opening and closing his mouth several times like a fish that landed on the beach, he finally showed a bit of anger.

He sat back down in his seat unhappily.

However, Sif's face didn't look good either. She glanced at Thor who was still depressed beside her again, then turned her gaze to Heimdall, and whispered:

"You owe us an explanation..."

This sentence is not just to ask Heimdall to explain why he left his post without permission, but also to ask Heimdall to explain in front of Thor why he made such a proposal to Peter.

The country of Asgard has strictly implemented a monarchy since its establishment. There is an almost insurmountable gap between ordinary Asgardians and the royal family.

The throne of Asgard has always been hereditary, and the god-king Odin is the third ruler of Asgard.

Therefore, even though Heimdall is the guardian of the Rainbow Bridge and the most trusted subordinate of God King Odin, he still has no right to make decisions for the royal family of Asgard. Moreover, even if Heimdall has royal blood, it is impossible for him to make decisions for the royal family.

A boy from the Atrium ascends to the throne of Asgard!

In the past, even making such remarks as a joke would have been punished, but now, when Asgard is in such a huge crisis, they can barely tolerate Heimdall defending himself.

However, Heimdall was not nervous at all. He held the golden giant sword that was imbued with divine power by God King Odin and walked behind Thor. He stood upright before saying slowly:

"The reason why I chose to come here at this moment is because the boy named Peter and the girl named Gwen are heading here for an appointment, and they will arrive here soon."

Fandral's anger arose again, but he did not attack. Instead, he stared at Heimdall, waiting for the rest of his speech.

After Heimdall pondered for a few seconds, he decided to directly explain the most critical reason for him to make this decision.

"When the young man named Peter came to me for the first time, I felt from him the brilliance of Odin's power, although it was very weak, but also very dazzling..."

"What...?!"

Sif was greatly shocked, and her body couldn't stop shaking.

"Are you crazy?!"

Van Dalten jumped onto the round table. This time he drew his weapon and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Heimdall.

"Poof!"

Volstagg sprayed the mead that he had just secretly poured into his mouth onto the barbecue, adding another layer of crystal-clear seasoning to the surface.

Only Hogan nodded silently after his pupils dilated slightly, because only in this way did everything make sense.

As for Thor, who had the closest interest, he looked confused. He looked at everyone's performance and asked in confusion:

"No wonder he can control pure power and a flock of crows, but what's so surprising about this?"

Sif looked at Thor blankly. She wanted to explain several times but didn't know where to start, until Heimdall continued to explain smoothly:

"Odin's divine power is a power unique to the Asa royal family.

Only the body of the Asa Protoss can accommodate this powerful divine power in the body. Although the God King can let others exercise divine power by pouring divine power into objects, there is only one way to let others inherit this power.

...

That is, only biological children who possess this divine power are eligible to inherit it, and other mortals, even Asgardians, cannot accommodate divine power...

Nowadays, there are only five people who have ever possessed Odin's divine power... And judging from that boy's age, the only possibility that he can possess Odin's divine power is..."

"He may be the illegitimate son of Odin or Thor..."

Sif covered her head and answered the rest for Heimdall.

The remaining people still stared at Heimdall in disbelief, and Fandral's sharp blade was aimed firmly at him.

"So are you sure that...Peter has the power of Odin? It's not some artifact he carries?"

Sif asked in a low voice with her last hope, while Heimdall said calmly:

"I am very sure that I have been paying attention to him all the time since I discovered that he has the power of Odin.

The power of Odin in his body has not yet awakened, but the blessing of Odin's power can already be felt in the magic he releases.

If we do not bring him into Asgard, but let him continue to grow, and when his divine power is fully awakened, he will be able to contact the Rainbow Bridge and visit Asgard on his own..."
To be continued...
