It has only been about ten days since the last contact with Odin.
Gu Bei did not expect that his second meeting with Odin would happen so unexpectedly and so... hastily.
Are you so destined to Odin?
To be honest, Gu Bei was a little confused.
This was a pure coincidence, because Mary's memory fragments were from many years ago, and no one knew what was in them, so it couldn't have been arranged.
But to be honest, it's too coincidental.
If Gu Bei hadn't known it was a coincidence. He probably thought it was a trap set by Odin.
Or maybe some bratty little boy with a script did something behind the scenes?
Gu Bei didn't know, but he did need to be careful.
But fortunately, this is in the scene of memory. No matter how long Odin's hand is, he shouldn't be able to reach here, right?
Gu Bei felt relieved and looked towards the opposite side.
In fact, this situation is not completely unexpected.
Previously, Gu Bei had guessed through clues that Mary's death was related to Odin. Now seeing the existence of Odin in Mary's memory can be regarded as confirming his speculation.
but……
Why is this Odin different from the one I saw last time?
Gu Bei's eyes were firmly fixed on the silhouette under the moonlight. Although this Odin was no different from the Odin he saw last time in all aspects, Gu Bei just felt that there was a difference between the two.
It's like two completely different people.
It was an indescribable feeling. If the image of Odin in Gu Bei's eyes last time was powerful and oppressive, then this time Odin was majestic and aloof.
Comparing the two, the latter is more like a dragon king or a god king.
A warlock's spiritual sense is never blind, so Gu Bei has always trusted his intuition 100%.
But that’s not how it worked out.
If we really look at it according to He Bei's spiritual sense, wouldn't it mean that there are two Odins in this world! ?
How can this be?
Although Gu Bei couldn't understand it, there must be something weird in it.
The Odin in his memory records Odin's state six years ago, and the Odin Gu Bei saw is his current state. If it is an ordinary human or a hybrid, six years will always change some things, and it will Make some people's personalities change.
But for the Dragon King who has experienced a long time, six years is just a blink of an eye, and time cannot leave any traces on them.
So there is no such thing as a personality change.
If there is really a possibility that there will be two Odins in this world, or that the same Odin will have two personalities, then there are only two possibilities.
Or, Odin is schizophrenic.
Or, Odin is also a twin...
Wait a minute, it seems that it is not impossible.
Gu Bei's mind was wide open, and he suddenly felt that his guess made sense.
If Odin is a twin, is this speculation tenable?
But it doesn’t seem right…
If Odin is a twin, how did he crush other dragon kings with his strength?
Could it be that he has devoured another one on the throne?
Gu Bei felt that things might not be that simple, but a word suddenly flashed in his mind.
It was the name he used when he called Chu Zihang when he met Odin before...
"container".
Is it possible that the "container" Odin talks about does not contain other things, but "Odin" itself?
To put it in simpler terms...
Let the "vessel" carry the identity of "Odin" and become his representative in the secular world.
Like...a marionette.
Combined with Nordic mythology
Judging from the legend of Odin, this kind of thing controlled by Odin is more like a so-called... dependent.
Gu Bei felt as if he had come into contact with the truth.
But there is no definite evidence to confirm Gu Bei's guess. All his current reasonings are just conjectures built like castles in the air based on the available information.
But Gu Bei has deep faith in his own spiritual sense. Believing in himself and being indifferent to external objects are the basic qualities of an excellent warlock.
Immediately afterwards, Gu Bei thought of the Asian man just now and the weird smile of the white man before...
Their state is similar to Odin, but completely different.
If Gu Bei's guess is correct, Odin should be positioned as the controller behind the puppet.
But Asian men and white men, although they are the ones who control, at the same time, they are also the manipulators themselves.
Gu Bei felt the convergence between the two.
In other words, they are all the same person.
This should be achieved with the help of some kind of alchemical technology or the effect of the spirit of speech, copying the existence of the same person to other bodies.
It's a very interesting technology, but it's a pity that there is no corresponding data. Otherwise, Gu Beiti will definitely study it, and combined with the magic machine and hundreds of refinements, he might be able to develop a puppet with self-awareness.
For example, it can move around freely, has complete functions, can adjust the temperature, and can fight with each other like a flower.
Just thinking about it is heart-warming.
Gu Bei was thinking about the future when he suddenly felt a twinge of heart palpitations.
This palpitation came without any end, leaving Gu Bei really confused.
At first, he thought it was the extra emotion brought about by his empathy with Mary, but when he felt it carefully, he discovered that this heart palpitation came from himself! ?
Why?
Gu Bei searched for the source of his heart palpitations, and then followed the guidance and saw the mask with only one golden eye exposed.
The surrounding environment suddenly fell into absolute stillness, this familiar feeling...
The spirit of words·stop!
Gu Bei felt that the time in his body was frozen, his movements and thoughts stopped for a moment, and then the next moment, the mechanism that Gu Bei had set up in advance was triggered.
After experiencing the last contact, Gu Bei had some guesses about Odin's abilities.
Putting aside the common skills that the Dragon King would use to manipulate "spirits" to use various mid- and low-level speech spirits, as well as the true entry-level skills of turning on and off the Nibelung Shaker, Odin's most troublesome abilities are only two.
First, there are a series of known or unknown super-standard word spirits named "Primordial Quanxian", including the Word Spirit Time Stop.
Second, Kungunir is sure to hit and the effect after being hit is unknown.
In order to deal with these two points, Gu Bei racked his brains and made full preparations.
It's like tampering with yourself.
After careful thinking and careful research, Gu Bei discovered that Qimen, a strange technique, had the same compositional conditions as a talisman.
Talismans are magic spells that are composed of runes arranged in a regular manner to achieve fixed effects.
The magic is the heavenly stems and earthly branches, the heaven, earth, humans and gods arranged in four directions to complete a certain magic technique.
The principles are obviously similar, but the talisman can be fixed, but the Qimen cannot. The fundamental reason lies in the variability of the Qimen.
When an ordinary warlock opens a strange gate, he needs to conduct various steps such as surveying and positioning before he can start smoothly. After the start, he must walk carefully in the strange gate.
The slightly more high-end ones, like Wuhou Qimen, have a perspective hanger turned on, so you can clearly understand how to walk on the map, how to turn the Qimen, and when and where to stand.
But just like this, there is no way to control Qimen. They can only adapt to the weather and adapt to Qimen.
If you want to solidify Qimen Bureau, you must first control Qimen Bureau.
Just like - Feng Hou Qi Men.
The effect of Fenghou Qimen is like you draw a map yourself and decide the rules of the game yourself, while Qimen is just for you to achieve the effect
channels.
Qimen Bureau, which is 100% controlled, can be described.
So Gu Bei combined Shenji's hundred-refined weapon refining and Liuku Immortal Thief's physical training, as well as Tongtianlu's condensed energy painting to match the physical control of both hands, and carved a strange sect into the inside of the body.
As long as there is Qi in Gu Bei's body and the triggering conditions are met, Qimen will be forcibly activated.
Trigger condition: Gu Bei's body or soul has stopped moving according to the definition of time.
Forced trigger: Qi Men Luan Jin Tuo!
This is a backup specially prepared for Odin.
Gu Bei knew very well that the reason why he was able to escape during the time stop last time was, firstly, because of his keen spiritual sense. Secondly, the perception of time brought about by the timestop triggered Gu Bei's perception of time. Thirdly, It was him who was prepared in advance.
After going back and forth, he was very lucky to avoid Odin's fatal blow.
But Gu Bei knew very well that luck would always run out. Lingjue could save him once, but it might not be able to save him a second time.
What if the next time Odin starts and stops, his spiritual sense doesn’t sense it?
To strike iron, you have to be tough yourself.
Gu Bei's hard skills were prepared to defeat Odin.
After detaching himself from the current time and feeling the Qi draining from his body, Gu Bei had a rough idea.
The loss of energy is very small, almost nonexistent. In other words, the "Odin" in this memory is just a phantom and has no strength.
However, even after coming to this conclusion, Gu Bei still stayed on Mary and did not act rashly.
He didn't know whether the time stop just now was in his original memory or was used by "Odin", but based on Mary's bloodline, even if she was hit by time stop, she would not feel the stop of time. .
Therefore, Gu Bei is 80% sure that Shi Zhan's appearance is not the content of his memory, but "interference".
Sure enough, under Gu Bei's gaze, Odin's single eye moved away from Richard and fell on Mary.
No, to be more precise, it fell on Gu Bei.
Affected by Gu Bei's chaotic golden watch, Mary, who was possessed by Gu Bei, also broke away from the stopped time. Her expression was solemn, and her golden eyes were fixed on Odin.
She didn't understand why the scene around her seemed to have been pressed on the freeze button, but there were only her and the godly man riding an eight-legged horse opposite, so this situation could only be caused by the other party.
The difference in strength is obvious. Mary has always been taciturn and can only look at the other party with calm eyes, and is always ready to pick up Richard beside her and run away.
Finally, the stalemate reached its peak, and a buzzing voice came from under Odin's mask: "Who are you?"
Mary pointed at herself with some confusion. When Odin didn't respond, she muttered: "Mary Parker."
But Odin didn't care about her, he just watched her quietly with his single golden eye.
Of course Odin was not asking Mary, and it was not Mary he was looking at. Gu Bei, who was possessed by Mary, could feel the scorching gaze falling on him.
Odin asked him.
It seems that Odin has no subsequent memories. This Odin is the image of Odin from six years ago in his memory, not a projection of his true body.
But why can Odin see him?
Gu Bei didn't have an answer to this question.
Time passed bit by bit...well, time was stopped, and only the time perceived by Gu Bei and Odin passed.
Odin, who didn't get an answer, finally raised the spear that symbolized fate in his hand.
Declaration of the Great God - Kungunir.
Gu Bei suddenly felt a feeling of being locked.
Not just the soul, but also the body!
In a sense, the space where the memory is located is separate, like an imaginary number, unable to interfere with reality. Odin's spear is aimed at Gu Bei's soul, but it may not be able to hit Gu Bei's body.
But now, Gu Bei
The devastation was felt.
Annihilation of the soul and death of the body exist simultaneously.
Gu Bei suddenly understood why Odin could see him.
His eyes fell on the spear that looked like a dead tree. This spear was made from the branches of the World Tree. It traced destiny.
The target it hits is never physical.
Whether in reality or illusion, in the mirror or in the shadow, as long as it is targeted by Kungunir, it is equivalent to being separated from the river of destiny.
In the same way, Kungunir itself is independent of fate.
So no matter where you are, Kungunir is absolutely unique.
In other words, everything in the world that has the nature of "Kungunir" is judged to be true.
Its reflection in the water, the imitations of its appearance, and the appearance in other people's memories are all the real Kungunir!
Gu Bei is now not being targeted by a memory, but facing the real spear of fate.
Affected by fate, Odin can also interfere with the original memory, break away from the constraints of time and space, and perform other actions.
Gu Bei felt a rush of grass,
No wonder Odin didn't leave any traps. Why did he put it here to trick me?
Gu Bei felt sick, but he still didn't dare not accept the move.
There is only one way to defeat Kungunir, and that is to fight hard.
Under the moonlight, Odin raised his spear high. After several flashes, the spear shot out piercing lightning, breaking through the bound time and flying towards Mary.
Although it was flying towards Mary, its target was Gu Bei.
As for whether Mary will be injured, there is no need to worry about this. The accuracy of her fate cannot be doubted.
The fate of the dragon world.
This thing is like OAA in Marvel, truth in Fullmetal Alchemist, and heaven in the JOJO world. It is an absolute law.
Lightning burst out and fell on Mary's body in the blink of an eye. The golden lightning penetrated her body, but Mary was not harmed in any way.
This made Mary, who was trying to defend herself, stunned.
But just because she wasn't injured, it didn't mean that Gu Bei was fine.
Gu Bei was still possessed by Mary, but his chest had turned into a big hole, and the golden lightning was crumpled into a ball of "ball lightning" and embedded in the big hole.
Gu Bei looked at Odin, reached out and took off the ball lightning on his chest, and like a charging chariot on the green field, he shot.
