Chapter 110 The God King Weeps Blood! You're offering the Rainbow Bridge as a road, are you goi
Odin's projection fell silent.
This god-king, who has lived for countless years, obviously needs some time to digest Lin Fan's communication style, which is completely out of the script.
He has clashed with all sorts of beings within the Nine Realms.
Cunning frost giants, raging fire demons, mysterious elves, and rigid dwarves.
But he had never met anyone like Lin Fan.
Its power is immeasurable, and it acts as it pleases.
You talk to him about the dignity of gods, and he argues with you about the labor contract.
You displayed your supreme divine power to him, and he made you leave behind firewood to pay off your debt.
Now, you've used a god-king-level projection of your will, but he's concerned about whether your home's internet signal is good or not.
Even Odin's heart, which had endured countless tribulations and thought itself to be unmoved by any storm, was stirred.
"This is not technology."
Odin patiently explained and decided to go along with the other party's pace.
"It is a projection of will that is carried out through the power of the World Tree."
"Oh, the World Tree, I know it well."
Lin Fan nodded and casually pointed to the inconspicuous flowerpot in the corner of the yard.
"I also planted one here. It has just sprouted and is growing so-so. The leaves taste okay when used to make tea."
Odin: "..."
His gaze followed Lin Fan's finger.
Through the projection of his will, he vaguely sensed that life force, which shared the same origin but was far purer and more ancient and boundless than that of the one in Asgard.
Odin's single eye suddenly opened wide.
That...that really was a sapling of the World Tree!
Moreover, the purity of its life essence is even far superior to that of the tree he wields!
Who exactly is this person?!
Even such a cosmic sacred object can be kept in a pot like an ordinary flower or plant for amusement?
Odin's heart plummeted to the bottom.
The last vestige of hope he had for salvaging Asgard's reputation through negotiations vanished completely.
To be able to have an equal dialogue with such a being is itself an unparalleled honor.
"Your Mightiness."
The title Odin carries an unconscious weight of the deepest respect.
"Let's get back to the point. I want to bring my two sons back, and Asgard is willing to pay you a price to satisfy you for that."
"cost?"
Lin Fan stroked his chin, looking like he was deep in thought.
"Gold and jewelry are out of the question, they're too tacky."
"Even if it's a magical artifact, your hammer is so rough that I find it uncomfortable to hold. I imagine your other weapons aren't much better."
Lin Fan's words caused Odin, who was far away on the throne in Asgard, to twitch his lips.
Thor's hammer...is it uncomfortable to hold?
If these words were to reach the Nine Realms, they would be enough to shatter the hearts of countless gods.
"Then... what do you need?" Odin asked humbly.
His prized possessions, which he was so proud of, seemed to be nothing more than a pile of scrap metal in front of his opponent.
Lin Fan thought for a moment, then his eyes suddenly lit up.
"My yard is being expanded recently, isn't it?"
He pointed to the newly cultivated vegetable patch in the yard and the grape trellis that was being built next to it.
"Look, they're turning the soil and building scaffolds, but they're lacking good materials."
"I've heard that your Asgardian palaces and Rainbow Bridge are quite magnificent. The materials used must be of high quality, right?"
Odin was stunned.
Material?
He needs... building materials?
"You mean..." Odin's voice was full of uncertainty.
"My meaning is very simple."
Lin Fan slapped his thigh, speaking with righteous indignation.
"Your people kicked down my front door and harassed me repeatedly. You should compensate me for emotional distress and lost wages, shouldn't you?"
"I don't want much."
Lin Fan held up three fingers.
"First, my gardeners' tools are all dull. Send them a batch of your hardest metal, something called Uru Steel, as much as you have, and I'll have them make a few hoes and shovels themselves."
"Secondly, my courtyard wall is a bit old and I'd like to renovate it. What kind of stone is the wall of your celestial palace made of? It's golden and looks quite sturdy. Could you dismantle a few hundred bricks and send them over?"
"third,"
Lin Fan paused, his gaze passing over Odin's projection to the seven-colored rainbow light spanning the starry sea.
"I think that bridge in front of your house is quite dazzling, all colorful, and it even flashes at night. Could you knock off a piece for me? Just a small section will do."
"I used it to pave the road in front of the courtyard. It won't be slippery when it rains, and it looks festive too."
"..."
With each point Lin Fan made, Odin's expression darkened further.
When he heard the last thing—that the Rainbow Bridge would be smashed to pave the way—even with the God-King's composure, the divine light in his single eye suddenly surged, revealing boundless rage.
That's the Rainbow Bridge!
The symbol of Asgard! The nexus connecting the nine realms! The cornerstone of the divine kingdom!
You actually want to knock down a section of the road to pave the road in front of your house?!
Which era/universe does the road to your house lead to?
This is no longer extortion; this is pressing Asgard's face to the ground and repeatedly crushing it with the sole of a shoe!
"Your Excellency, are your demands... too excessive?" Odin's voice was chilling to the bone.
"Is that too much?"
Lin Fan spread his hands with an innocent expression.
"I think it's perfectly reasonable. Your people keep coming here to cause trouble. The one with the hammer almost ripped my neighbor's roof off."
"My employees here are burying people alive, fighting, and working overtime non-stop, and I haven't even asked you for overtime pay yet."
"How is asking for some renovation materials excessive?"
Odin was so utterly bewildered by this twisted logic that his very soul trembled.
He closed his single eye, trying his best to calm the surging divine rage.
He got it.
There's no reasoning with this person.
Because his "reason" is himself.
"Uru steel, I can give it to you," Odin reluctantly conceded. "Asgardian foundation stones, I can also give you a batch."
"But the Rainbow Bridge, no."
Odin's tone was firm and uncompromising.
"It is the foundation of Asgard, and it can never be destroyed."
"Oh, never mind then."
Lin Fan curled his lip and waved his hand dismissively.
"Then there's nothing to discuss. Your son, just stay here and chop wood. I see he has exceptional talent; with proper nurturing, he has the potential to become the 'Chief Lumberjack' of our courtyard house in the future."
After saying that, he turned and left without looking back.
"etc!"
Odin's voice revealed an undisguised urgency.
He knew he had no choice.
Compared to the two princes of Asgard, the future heirs, a mere rainbow bridge...
Odin closed his eyes again.
When he opened his eyes, only determination and humiliation remained in his single eye.
"it is good."
He uttered a single word, as if he had exhausted ten thousand years of divine power.
I promise you.
"However, I have one condition," Odin added in a deep voice. "Loki can stay and finish his...work. But Thor must come back with me. He is the crown prince of Asgard and cannot remain in Midgard for long."
This was the last bit of dignity he preserved for the Kingdom of God.
Lin Fan turned around, glanced at Thor who was slumped on the ground, and then glanced at Loki who looked nervous next to him.
He thought about it.
"Alright."
He nodded in agreement.
"One sweeper is enough. If we add another woodcutter, my yard is indeed a bit cramped and there's not enough room for everyone."
"make a deal."
